The OREGON DTATESIAN, gUlert, - Oregon, Snnixy Morning, IIrch" 15, 1931 ooioo Lie OroanlzaUon's Pledge to Hold for 50c a Sack Is Having Effect . A marked steadying? In the on lea market for Lablsa rrowers as jrell a other protlneers in the state, haa been effected within the last few days, according to U. Ck Bishop, one- of the growers tn the Lablsa district. . Through an orsanizatlon in process of completion, crowers hare told buyers they would not sell onions for less than BO cents a sack, f. p. b. the warehouse. As a result of this organization and eastern demand the price stiffened rapidly from the ex treme low level of 19 cents a sack which prevailed' for some time. Bishop i says the growers hT decided to get a minimum of so tents a sack or to dump the on ions. Twelve cars hare been ship ped atl the new price, he said yes terday. Bishop attributes part of the reason! for this . year's unusually low price to an unusually large eastern crop which cut off the customary markets from that point, i He also lays part of the blame! to local growers, who be cause of lack of organisation, were forced to take extremely low prices offered by buyers, prices j lower than market needs justified. In Bishop s opinion. Shirley Roland Takes First in Speaking Match JEFFERSON1, March 14 The grades; of the Jefferson schoo held their second declamatory contest Friday afternoon.
