"There are 40,000 acres of
prunes between Portland and
Ashland compared to 10.000 acre
Just a few years ago. This year
the Oregon crop, on account of
rains, was reduced to 25.000,000
pounds. Within three years It in
probable the annual Oregon crop
may exceed 100.000.000 pounds
To handle this immense tonnage,
there must be organization and
co-operation," o declared C. I
Lewis at a meeting of the fruit
men held Friday afternoon at the
Commercial club.
In referring t j what the Ore
gon Growers Co-operative asso
ciation had done for Its members.
Mr. Lewis referred to the logan
berry situation at the opening of
the market and to the same con
dition that existed in the cherry
market.
Slashing Spoils Market
In referring to the present
prune market, Mr. Lewis told the
growers that the association had
named prices that it was thought
would move the crop, consider
ing a downward market in all
foods.
But as soon as the association
named its opening prices, out
side buyers and packers at one
cut half a cent. When the asso
ciation met the cut. the "price wa
again slashed. For this reason
Mr. Lewis thought the association
should not be held responsible for
lower prices and a slow market
when the Oregon Growers Is
working to uphold the market
with outside packers cutting un
der. ! "When we have 75 per cent of
the tonnage, we can prevent anr
such slashing in prices," declared
Mr. Lwis. "As long as there are
any cheap prunes for the packers
to buy. he will continue to sell
cheap."
Seymour Jones, a director of
the association and a member of
the executive board, told the
growers a falling market exist
ed on all commodities, and they
should not bs surprised if prune
conditions were unsatisfactory.
Referring to the cut In prune
prices, Mr. Jones remarked that
it was the Independent packers
who started it. With wheat go
ing lower .and lower with the
present low wool market, an
.with the hog market off ana 'corn
at a price lower than for years
Mr. Jones thinks it natural that
the prune market should partake
of the same conditions.
Stability Needed
("I'm for the Oregon Grower'
Co-operative association.". de-
clared Mr. Jons. "because I feel
Jt wtil stabilize the prune market
'of the valley. I base this on con
clusive evidence. All we need to
jdo this Is to control a larger ac
j reaga. I'm for a livable price
year after year. I don't want zu
cents one year lor my prunes ano
then 5 cents a pound the follow
ing year. Stand by the associa
tion. If you do not organize and
have co-operation, you will be at
the mercy, of the Independent
packers and buyers."
M. O. Evans, field manager of
the association, told of the gen
eral work of the field men and of
the difficulty of seeing personallr
all the 1,600 growers who are
members.
The meeting, which was the
first of the season, was attended
by 150 growers and was one of
the most interesting yet held
announcement was made that
meetings would be held monthly
at the Commercial club and .that
each member would be notified of
the date of the next meeting.

Engineer's Presence
of Mind Saves Lives
Presence of mind of an en
gineer of the Southern Pacific
company probably saved lives at a
grade crossing near r.ujrene on
October 4. according to a leiler
written by A. T. Mercler, superin
tendent of the company, to the
Purity Bakery of Eugene. A copy
of the letter has been received at
the public service commission.
A delivery truck driven by an
employe of the company was ap
proaching the crossing at a rapid
rate. The engineer figured that
the driver probably would try to
cross and put on his brakes. As
the truck started across the rail
way track its motor stalled and
the engineer was able to top his
train with the "cow catcher"
against a wheel of the truck.
