who attempted to dampen the ardor
of Memorial day events with a misty
rain, a large attendance was present
when the ceremonies commenced ut

house for latter part instead of the
park.

PRUNE GROWERS
WILL COMBINE
Federation for Collective Bargaining
to be Organized—16,000,000
Oregon Prunes Unsold
Merging of all units of the prune
growers associations into one large
federation for the purpose of doyig
collective bargaining for the producers
of the Northwest is planned as a re­
sult of a meeting recently held in
Portland under the auspices of the
agricultural committee of the Cham­
ber of commerce. W. S. Allen of Dun­
dee was named on the committee to
map out the federation plans.
That 16,000,000 pounds of Oregon's
last crop of prunes remain to be sold,
against competition of the strong
prune organization in California, was
a statement made. A standard pack
of prunes for Oregon is the plan ad­
vocated, only one brand to be put on
the market by the state organization.
It is the hope of the organization to
be able to hold Oregon prunes in
strong hands until the most favorable
opportunity comes to market them.
The committee for framing the fed­
eration included, besides Mr. Allen; M.
J Newhouse, Oregon growers; J. 0.
Holt, Eugene fruit growers; W. L.
Tnvlor, Rutte Falls, Orc. organization;
L F. Russell. Washington growers;
M. R. Green Roseburg; and Matt Cor­
rigan of McMinnville.

ANNUAL EVENT

Social Gathering of Competitors is
Considered Beneficial—Day ton
People Urged to Attend
the Basket Dinner
The stage is all set for the Hog Pic­
nic to be held here tomorrow, when it
is expected several hundred hog breed­
ers and enthusiasts from all parts of,
the state will be present to listen to
the speeches and take part in discusi-
sions of general and special hog topics.
One of the greatest benefits of th$
hog picnic, according to W. L. Sheard,
general manager for this one, is in
bringing together socially the various
competitors between whom there is
inclined to exist some little friction at
the fairs and stock shows. To this
end every means will be used to create
opportunities for informal visiting
and getting acquainted.
Prominent among the features of>
the day’s events will be the basket
dinner at noon. The Datyon folk, both
from town and the country around^
should bring their basket dinners to
the park and mingle with the visitous
and make them feel the sincerity of
their welcome, is the opinion of many
persons who have been interviewed by
the Tribune.
A real welcome extended by local
people will have a great deal of in­
fluence upon the site for next year’s
statewide Hog Picnic, it is asserted.
