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.
