Plans A Benefit Dance At a meeting, held at Vincents Restaurant last Thursday when new’ express rates on cut flower» were discussed. Central Transfer offered the best rate, and prob ably the most service to growers of the area. Bids were submitted by Greyhound and by Rader's Flying service. Greyhound quoted $6.40 per cwt. for flowers to Portland and $8.30 to Seattle. Mr. Hutchinson, representing the company, said extra buses would be put on at the peak of the daffodil season to speed delivery. This rate will be in effect until May 1. He wanted local growers to agree among themselves so that ship ments could be “staggered,” so the three existing schedules of the day would carry an equal amount. Dave Franklin, representing his own company, Coast Freight Lines, quoted $4.99 to Portland, with delivery to the door of the buyer, or to an air port if fur ther shipment was to be made. To Seattle he quoted $6.81 per cwt., promising delivery in Seat tle at 2 p. m. of the day after pickup would be made here at 10 a. m. Delivery about Seattle is included in this quotation. Mr. Franklin told the growers the flowers would be in Portland at 2 a. m. in plenty time for morning delivery and sale. Mr. Rader, representing his own air freight line, quoted 50c per ton mile on shipments. He said he could place shipments at Spokane within four hours after loading here, or in other places in comparable time. His plane will carry about a ton of boxed flowers. Future In Industry R. M. Knox, county agent, in conducting the meeting, told the growers that the floriculture re turns of Curry county today ag gregated about ii half million dollars annually. He suggested, and was corroborated by Ralph Clark, crops specialist of OSC, that this figure could easily be jumped to a million, by increas ing the cut flow’er trade of the narcissus family, and to include heather, gladiolus, iris and as ters. Acacia, he said, is another profitable crop if properly han dled in this area. To accomplish this million dollar industry, growers should provide themselves with a mar keting expert or company, and produce only the highest quality product. “Flowers are something people want and will have at all oc casions. If you have the best on the market, and I know you can produce it, then the whole nation w’ould look to this area for their flowers, especially in the winter time,” he said.
