lli-Tho &edeammi Solom. Oroaon.' Flax Processors Seek to Awaken Sleep ing By LoretU . Dehler SUtnmu New Service JIT. ANGEL Representatives of Oregon flax plants made plans to awaken the sleeping flax Industry Friday night when they pat Into working order the co-op organisation known as the Oregon Flax Processors. ..... . , ,, a m mn reoresentinc slants of Mt. Anrel, Molalla, Caabyi Springfield, St. Paul and Santiam voted unanimously to pool aU fiber and set the price of at least 15 rente to the gTower for ave r,. mde flax fiber C grade). All sales will go through the one organization. The committee handling sales would include one mem wr -from uh nlant havinr fiber. It was decided to pool tow in the same way but no price was fied. j A, Plant representatives were told to advise growers of this action and to assure them a price that would cover cost of production plus a reasonable profit Several inoperative plants have expressed desire to reopen if such assurance could be given farmers 10 mauce pianiins f sufficient acreage. Oregon Flax Processors was organized at the end of the last war when the booming flax industry suddenly had the bottom knocked out by the government's wholesale purchase of foreign flax, which was shipped into this country at a price below cost of production. It, like the flax industry, went Into a decline. The purpose was to secure by co-operative association a medium of producing, processing and marketing flax and flax products to the best advantage of the growers and to stabliie price, marketing con ditions and standard of trades. It provides also for acceptance of flax and flax products from non-members in to the pool when these do not exceed the amount pooled by members. The meeting Friday night was called by Fred J. Schwab, president f the Oregon Flax Processors and manager of the Mt. Anrel plant Ray Smith of St Paul, vice chairman of the State Flax and Linen board, represented that group at the meeting. It was noted that the amount' of seed available In Oregon for the 1951 flax crop was sufficient for only 4000 acres but that it would be allocated in fair distribution. Most plants have membership or grower meetings coming up within the following week when the decisions of tonight's meeting will be discussed, after which final action will be taken.
