NEW MARKETS CREATED Inauguration of Nation-AVide Ad vertising Campaign Also" Is. Among Acompii&lunenta. : SAL.KM, Or., Nov. e. (Special.) : The creation of new markets tor Ore Eon fruit, the construction of packing plants and the Installation of equip ment costing approximately J400.00Q, inauguration of a nation-wide adver tising campaign to acquaint the American public with the high quali ties of Oregon fruit are among the accomplishments of the Oregon Grow ers' Co-operative association, enu merated in a special report made last week by C. X. Lewis, manager of the organization department. The activ ities of the association, which is rounding out its first season of ex istence, mark the first large and pro gressive movement in Oregon to guar antee the future prosperity of the fruitgrowing industry. In one year's time 1500 growers have become affiliated as members of the association. They represent 28, 000 acres of fruit. A brand known as "Mistland" has been placed on the market. Champion Grade Established. As the result of the first state con ference called by heads of the asso ciation, a uniform grade and pack were established, an inspection ser vice was inaugurated in the fresh fruit department and at present 95 per cent of the organization's fruit is being put up in community packing houses. A strong sales force has de veloped new markets and moved Ital ian prunes and Bartlett pears into countries which never before had known Oregon . products. The new system has reduced the general ex pense of selling by making it unnec essary for the fruit to pass through so many hands and by making more direct sales &t point of consumption. "The Oregon Growers' Co-operative association is a non-profit, non-capital body which sells at cost," 'said Mr. Lewis. "The associatien organized the Oregon Growers Packing corpo ration, which owns the plants. The packing houses are financed by com mon stock owned only by growers, each taking $10 worth of stock for each -acre signed in the organization. In addition preferred stock was sold. The existence of the two bodies en ables the association to receive ware house receipts from the packing cor poration and thus aid In financing the moving of the crop. ' Ten Sets of Plants Built. Ten sets of plants have been built. Equipment is standardized, so that transfer from one plant to another may be easily effected. The plant will be paid for as the preferred stock which is sold is retired, one-fifth an nually. In five years the growers are to control all common stock and the plants are to be free of indebt edness. "The association already has brought to the state a greater average price for its berries, cherries and pears than wis ever realized before," re ported Mr. Lewis. "Three thousand tons of Bartlett pears ere moved, and by balancing nicely the tonnage to go to the auction, canneries or to be sold f. o. b., the market was con tinually kept in a healthy condition. Products were sold to more than 16 canneries. The pears were handled In such a way that canneries have al ready placed orders for more than 1600 tons next year, at the market price. Twenty-four banks have helped finance the organization. No difficulty has been found in obtaining funds for the packing and shipping of the fruit. At the present time more than 600 cars of apples are being moved to astern and foreign markets." Officer Are Announced. The officers of the organization are It.

I had smothering sensations and suffered from shortness of breath. I did not sleep well and had nervous spells and severe headaches. I lost weight and had very little appetite. - "One day I happened to read about Dr. Williams' Pink Pills in a news paper and I began to take the remedy. I gained some strength after taking the first box and I began to eat more. Then my color became better and there was so much change in my ap pearance that my friends told me how much better I was looking. My nerves became strong and I was able to sleep soundly. I have been well ever since I took Dr. Williams' Pink Pills and I cannot speak too highly of them, for they have helped me so much." Dr. Williams' Pink Pills are a blood builder and nerve tonic. The rich, red blood that they make not only carries color to the cheeks and lips and gives vigor to the muscles, but also revi talizes exhausted nerves and quiets the pains of neuralgia- and sciatica.
