THE DALLES, Or., Dec. 16. (Spe cial.) Wasco county's horticul tural and agricultural "experiment," a chamber of commerce bureau created for the express purpose of stimulating production from the soil, has brought about some re markable results during its first year of trial, according to the an nual report of V. S. Nelson, bureau head. The bureau was fathered at a par ticularly inauspicious time, at the beginning of 1922. Two of the city's biggest Industries, The Dalles Kings' Food Products company, a dehydrating plant, and the cannery of the Libby, McNeill & Libby com pany, were threatening to pick up bodily and move. Lack of fruits and vegetables in sufficient quantities was the com-4 plaint. Thousands of tons were shipped in from other districts, ex tending even .as far as Idaho, for consumption In the local plants. Generous offers from other com munities, with greater average pro duction, if the plants would move, were made. Increased Production Needed One alternative was presented increased production in Wasco county. The land was available, the climate was right and apparent ly all that was needed was the proper stimulus. Hence, the idea for a chamber of commerce production bureau, with a specialist in charge, had its inception. Both local plants agreed to con tribute, free from all claim, sub stantial sums toward the support of such a bureau. Local business men, through the chamber of com merce, put up additional funds, and the bureau was formed, with W. S. Nelson, formerly employed in Cali fornia by Libby, McNeill & Libby, in charge. The first problem to come up was standardization of varieties of fruits. Investigation disclosed that there were 135 different varieties of tree fruits grown in Wasco county, thus making it impossible to special ize in any one variety in shipping, canning or processing. Sixteen Varieties Approved. The advantages of each variety of fruit was then gone into, and its adaptability to Wasco county con sidered. Out of this was evolved a list of 16 varieties to be recom mended for planting in the future. Next came the problem of mar keting. It was learned that -for years a favorable freight rate on fruits and vegetables by rail from The Dalles to Portland had been in existence, which had never been taken advantage of because of lack cf sufficient tonnage for individual ' shipments. The bureau at once set out to pool shipments of fruits and vege tables, shipping from one con signor in The Dalles, the bureau, to one consignee in Portland, which was a transfer company, which con tracted . to distribute the freight upon its arrival. In this manner the rules of the railroad company were complied with, and The Dalles got a daily refrigerated freight-car service at an unusually low rate. Shippers Appreciate Service. Shippers were quick to avail themselves of this service, with the result that a total of 1,150,000 pounds of produce from Wasco county was shipped through the bureau at an estimated saving to the growers of $3200 under what the old charges would have been. Next, and perhaps the most im portant work of the bureau, was the planting of new orchards. It was found that, by buying co operatively, a considerable saving could be made in the purchase of nursery stock. Accordingly, orders for more than 20,000 young trees were taken, divided as follows: Apricots, 10,675; cherries, 4955; prunes, 3125; miscellaneous, 300. In addition, approximately 7000 trees, were arranged for by ranch ' ers through other channels, as a result of the bureau's activities, bringing the total planting, or rather to be planted, as all are not yet in the ground, to around 27,000 trees. This is equivalent to more than 500 acres of new planting, it is estimated. In addition. 17,000 grape vines have been ordered for planting in Wasco county, which, by reason of its eunny hillsides, is peculiarly adapted to grape culture. Other Activities Launched. These are only the major things the bureau did during its first year of existence, by the way, which many at the outset predicted would be short-lived. In addition, the bureau co-operated in cherry polinization experi ments which were made here last spring, with the view to determin ing which varieties of cherry trees were valuable for pollenizing pur poses, and which ones worthless in this respect. The bureau also assisted in' the formation of a county realty board, of which a good share of the local realtors are members. Plans are already under way for a more extensive programme next year, which would include continua tion of the refrigerated car service. 'OUTS' BENEFIT PLANNED Free Transportation in Mails for Bulletins Proposed. WASHINGTON, D. C, Dec. 16. The "outs" in a political or legisla tive contest would be placed on an equal footing with the "ins" so far as the mail franking privilege is concerned, under a bill introduced Friday by Senator Walsh, democrat, of Massachusetts. The measure proposes to provide free transportation in the mails for bulletins or information to voters issued under the laws of a state and to afford opposing candidates and the advocates and opponents of measures referred to the people equal opportunities for the presen tation of their claims and argu ments.
