GROWERS GAIM RAPIDLY CO-OPERATIYE ASSOCIAT IOX IS TWO TEAR'S OM. Membership Totals 183 6 and Acre age Under Contract 31,039; Depression Weathered. - Just two years ago this week the Oregon Growers' Co-operative asso ciation opened its offices in Salem Jt -- V A J. 1". Boothr, whoMe body was found fcangrins in cemetery. with a membership of 137, which represented a little more than 2000 acres of bearing- orchard. It now covers nearly all of the principal fruit and vegetable producing dis tricts of the state, and has 1836 mem bers and an acreage totaling 31,039 under contract. Though formed during the period of readjustment immediately follow ing the armistice, the association has weathered the psriod of falling prices, and of tightening credits and over stocked markets. According to estimates compiled by R. C. Pauius, general rnanager of the association, the organization .will market $2,300,000 worth of products this year. The association has something to market every day in the year, be ginning with strawberries, goose berries and cherries and running on through loganberries, apricots, peaches, green plums, pears, apples. prunes and nuts, completing the cycle with a new start on berries in the spring. A period of several weeks in the winter is filled in with broccoli mar keting operations. Green beans, peas, cucumbers, tomatoes and many other vegetables are handled also. This wide diversification enables the machinery of the association to operate efficiently throughout the en tire year, thus minimizing the over head expense. The packing corporation has ware houses, packing plants and driers in the Willamette, Rogue river and Umpqua valleys and in The Dalles district, representing an investment of nearly $400,000 and furnishing employment for hundreds of men and women during parts of the year, These places are the scene of busiest activity auring tne summer ana tail In the opinion of its officers, the association has passed through its most trying period and Is getting to a place where it can perform a serv ice of real value to its members. The organization is at present car ing for a large crop of loganberries apricots and peaches, having com pleted the run of strawberries, goose berries and cherries. Plans are under way for handling the large tonnage of pears and apples this fall. Explosion Dcstroyseparator. WALLA WALLA, Wash.. July 31.

Orcgonlifc iHome Office COBBETT Fifth and A. L. MILLS. Pres. E. p. STRONG, Asst. Mgr. J- W. BOffTHE FOUND HANGING FROM TREE Cemetery Visitor Discovers Body of Missing Man. FEET TOUCH ON GROUND Traces of Carbolic .Acid in Month Xoted; Victim Reported to ' Have Been Despondent. The body of J. W. Boothe, who had been missing since last Thursday, was found yesterday afternoon hanging t- a tree iri Rose City cemetery, the rope tied In a hangman's knot, his feet dangling on the ground, and traces of carbolic acid in his mouth. The coroner's investigation led to the belief that Boothe had climbed to the low limb from which he hung, adjusted the knot, drank the carbolic acid and then jumped. He miscalculated the distance to the ground and the rope was too long. His feet touched and ..marks on the ground indicated a violent struggle before he died. Whether death uas due to strangulation or pqison can not be determined until an autopsy is performed. Boothe left home last Thursday about 11 o'clock in the morning. On Saturday his family reported his ab sence to the police and yesterday a few hours before his body was dis covered, they appealed to Mayor Baker to do everything in his power to find the missing man. Mayor'Anka Police im Aid. The mayor assured them that he would and personally called the police station and directed that everything possible be done to locate the missing man. Detectives were sent to ' the home and made a complete investiga tion to aid them in their search. They had scarcely returned to headquarters when a telephone call came telling that a man had been found hanging to a tree in Rose City cemetery. - Pa trolmen were dispatched at once and within the half-hour reported that the dead man was the missing J. W.' Boothe. Motorcycle Patrolman Stiles wa the first to arrive on the scene. Hav ing seen a picture of the man at the desk . just before leaving he recog nized him immediately, and after the. arrival of the men from the coroner's office, when the body was cut down papers in his clothes identified him definitely. Note to Wife la Found. A note to his wife was found in the pocket of his coat. It was to the ef fect that he had been unable to find work, was out of money and bills were piling up. He requested that everything be left to his wife and two stepsons. The body was found by O. Rooney, 36 West Ainsworth street, when he was returning from a visit to his wife's grave in the cemetery. It was hanging from a tree about two blocks from the entrance at Fifty-seventh and Fremont streets, close to Fifty fifth street. Deputy Coroner Goetsch gave as his opinion that it had been hanging there since the day Boothe disappeared. It is thought the car bolic acid was responsible for death, as .Boothe's feet were touching the ground and hanging woild not have been effective under those circum stances. Inquest Is to Be Held. The body was removed to Pierce's undertaking parlors and the coroner's nquest will be held there. In one pocket was found $8, which, with a number of papers, were the only ef fects on the person. It was thought at the time of Boothe's disappearance that he was despondent over financial matters. He was also suffering from blood poison ing in his left foot, and had cut the top of the shoe away to relieve the pain. Up until March he had been clerk of Rose City lodge of the Wood men of the World. ' Some discrepancy was discovered in his accounts, ac cording to a member of the lodge, when they were examined by national headquarters lauditors, and this led to hi resignation from the clerkship and the lodge both.. Since March he had not been working, although he had tried to find employment. Boothe lived with his wife and two stepsons at 555 East Forty-ninth street North. CROP OF HONEY IS LIGHT XBCTAR FLOW FKOM WEED IS SMALL. FIRE- Columbia County Beekeepers' Asso ciation Holds First Meet In Park at St. Helens. The Columbia County Beekeepers' association held a field meet' in the city park at St. Helens, Or., last Fri day. July 29, at which a majority of the beekeepers of the county were present, and a very profitable and in teresting day was spent. Columbia county has some of the largest and mort prominent beemen of western Oregon, men of long ex perience who practice the latest and most up-to-date methods in their line.

Another with 120 colonies said he would have very little honey ko harvest, perhaps one-tenth of an average crop. The Iireweea pin.ni. not yielding nectar, and as this is the plant from which comes the main mid-summer flow In western Oregon, there will be little Oregon mountain honey on the market this year. Some years the fireweed yields most abundantly and then for one or two years there is no flow of nectar at all from this source. Last year it yielded but little and this year promises noth- inir better. During the spring months, when the maple, willow., alder and berry blos soms yield nectar, the excessive rains kept the bees from working and now that the fireweed is a failure, the out look is not very encouraging for the western Oregon beekeeper. However, these conditions are to be expected in western Oregon and are not as discouraging to the honey producer -as though unexpected. The black bee i almost eradicated from Columbia county, due in large part to the work of the association. Every beekeeper In this county has Italianized his apaTy this year and if black bees are brought into the county by outsiders an immediate ef fort is made to induce the owner to introduce Italian queens at once. It is also proposed to establish a bee hospital, where diseased colonies may be taken and kept. Italianized and cured at no expense to the owner other than the cost of transportation, young queens and where necessary new. standard equipment. This will n-n a loner wv toward "keeping bet ter bees better." it is thought by the promotors of the scheme. The crop failure this year has not seemlnsrlv discouraged the beekeepers of Columbia county and extensive plans are beine: made for wintering Saving Brings Success To save money you must do two things: -First, make a start; second, keep at it.
