Successful Co-operation
It is douttf nl if anything has
tlenionttratotl more fully the pro
gressiveni'ss and cooperation of
Hood River nppla growers than
the spirit manifested at the aunual
meeting of the union Saturday.
Without hesitation its members
to a unit supported the directorate
by voting an additional sum to
properly handle the crop this year,
while the directors gave evidence
of a tine iense of loyalty to the
organization in refusing to accept
remuneration for their services.
As a matter of fact, as far as our
knowledge goes the latter is un
precedented in the annals of com
mercial organizations and must he

consents to raUe it, will le fpent
in those three states. The bill has
already passed the senate and is
iu the hands of the lower house,
which will probably act upon it
within the month. During the
past two or three years the recla
mation service has planned and
begun tome of the largest irriga
tion projects yet undertaken in the
weet and in almost every case has
been prevented from completing
them by lack of funds. For ex
ample, the irrigated art a of Klick
itat and Yakima counties in east
ern Washington will be doubled if
the projects already underway are
completed.
The sale of the big land grant of
the Willamette Valley & Cascade
Mountain Koad company during
the past week to capitalists said to
represent the Hill interests,indicate
to many that the reported Pacific
cot outlet for the Burlington
may become a reality. It Is be
lieved that Hill will build west
from Billings, the present termi
nus, to Boise and thence westward
through Ontario and across Ore-
men at large who compose this
tine body of tillers of the soil.
The spirit of the occasion mani
fested itself also in handling ques
tions that are of signal importance
to every grower in the valley.
Strong discussions without enmity
on labor, packing, labeling, grad
ing and the financial affairs of the
institution took place that removed
the cobwebg and whose warnings
and advice must result in great
and lasting good.
While the growers generally who
participated in these discussions
are all to be congratulated on the
excellent advice they ottered their
fellow members, we believe that
Secretary Sproat hit a strong note
in his talk against absolving the
grower from responsibility for the
grade of his fruit. On the other
hand the packer should be made to
feel that he is equally responsible.
Mr. Mason's statement that each
year apples unfit for sale, bearing
the label of the union, are offered
in the public markets should cause
every grower to exercise a vigilance
that would make this impossible.
Hoot! River has conquered the
world for fancy fruit at fancy
prices and if it would hold its
markets constant vigilance must
be the watchword. The grower
must become his own mentor and
pass judgment on his own fruit
the lame as he would on another's.
Let nothing pass that is not up to
the highest standard.
From year to year varying con
ditions arise to confront the suc
cessful marketing of the fancy ap
ple crop increased production,
improvement in fruit offered from
competing districts, new markets
and other phases all have to be
considered. The bulwark of
strength to successfully cope with
every phase is quality. The best
apples will always make their own
market at the best price. Whieh,
it may be said, is the sum and
substance of the apple industry or
any other business. It is the key
note of success now and the salva
tion for the orchardist in the
future.
Apart from strictly maintaining
the quality the future of the fancy
apple industry lies in the control
of the product. Sooner or later a
central association of which the
local associations will be members
and which will cooperate on the
details of marketing must inevit
ably come.
As a fruit handling organization
Hood River has reason to be justly
proud of its association. It is no
longer an experiment, but an asset
that insures not only every apple
raiser but every investor the worth
of his money.
run up into the millions. If its
purchase by Hill can be confirmed
and this railway is built, it will
mean a great ievelopnient for Or
egon, for it will open the most iso
lated sections to settlement.
It is expected to complete the
jetty at the mouth of the Colum
bia river this season. WorJt has
been started extending it further
and the dredge Chinook will oper
ate on the bar during the summer.
By the time the work stops in
November it is expected to have a
depth of 80 feet on the bar at low
tide. One of the big w heat farms of
the state was sold the past
when the lands of the J.A.Woolery
estate in Morrow county passed to
a syndicate of North Dakota bank
ers. The sale included 19,000
acres and the price paid was 1150- j
000. It will be cut up into small
farms. j
The purchase of a big tract of
timber land on the Siuslaw river

lieved to represent J. J. Hill, I
strengthens the belief that the east
and west line across Oregon will1
