")d from their orlglnul contracts, it
was explained last night.
The Cherry Growors' union wiu
formed three years ago for tho pur
pose of handling cherries. Jt has Jicott
vory successful lu uniting tho cherry
grower.1) and enabling them to secure
much bettor prices for cherries than
tho grower rcculved lu unorganized
uiHtrlcts, It Is claimed. "
During tho last winter It was de
cided by u number of local fruit and
vegetable growers to try to broaden
tho field of uctlvlty of tho Cherry
Growers' union, ho us to handle all
kinds of fruit and vegetables. It was
then decided that the host way to tie
courplltth this would bo to affiliate
- with the Oiegon Growers' association,
It wbh first believed that It would
be necessary to form a local crsania
Hon which would affiliate with the
state organization, and such an organ
ization was partly formed, only to be
dlsbaided at last night's meeting
when It was pointed out that such
a courso was unnecessary.
Since March 24, 900 acres of fruit
and vegetable producing land have
been signed up with tho state organlz
atlon, according to M. O. Evans, field
manager, who has been working with
local growers in securing new mem
bers. At total of 63 members have
signed up. It is expected that last
night's meeting will bring In at least
100 more acres.
This additional 100 acres will make
a total of 1,000 acres signed up In
Wasco county, which will be enough
to secure, the county a branch of the
state association. A quota of 1200
acres was first set for the county, "but
It was later decided to eliminate 13u
fur, from which district 200 acres of
fruit land had been expected.
It Is planned to secure leases upon
temporary warehouses for use by the
branch association for the present
year. New warehouses will bo built as
soon as possible, however.
Growers are of tho opinion tjat the
coming of the stato association found
ed upon the same principles as the.blg
California fruit organizations, Is the
beginning of a new era in the local
fruit and vegetable business.
