MADSEN f Farm Editor, The Statesman I, you are; worried about your monthly milk check, live in Ma rion County and are a grade A milk producer, meet Tuesday night at Legion Hall on the highway at Woodburn. That's the message left by Newt Davis ; of Woodburn, and Frank Poepping of Mt Angel, as they called at Salem Friday to gather together all grade A producers for the event f Chief purpose of the called meeting wiU be to elect two members who will meet with an overall group of grade A produc ers set for Mallory Hotel, 'Port land. Friday.)" The Portland meet ing will be for the purposes of organizing all grade A producers in i the Portland milk shed to present better the producer's side in price and marketing hearings. I 1'Heretofore," said Poepping, "every segment of the milk in dustry has been unionized and their demands are met first! H there is anything left the pro ducer gets his. At the hearings held in Portland, only a few producers show up." While at Salem, Poepping ind Davis told of a similar Clack amas county ' meeting held I at New Era Wednesday night which 75 grade A producers attended. Great interest was shown at this meeting, headed by John Lien hart, Jr., Woodburn, in the pro posed organization of Grade A shippers. Both Poepping and Davis expressed hope that the Marion County meeting at Wood burn Tuesday night 8 p,m., would be well attended as was the Clackamas County event?

Richard Moeller, Cornelius, in cumbent said, when queried as to his intentions, he "wouldn't turn down nomination". Harley Libby, Jefferson, once-upon-a-time president when interviewed wouldn't say no, nor would he say yes, but "guesses" were to ward Friday's close that he would be one of the "strong candidates." Roy Rutschman, Silverton, now vice president of the state or ganization, and president of the Marion County local, is being mentioned, but says he believes that "Moeller should have an other term." Reports showed Friday that membership had dropped some what this past year, but this was explained as a drop chiefly through insurance. A number non-farm folk, who carried mem bership because it was a require ment for insurance, dropped the two when rates were advanced this past year. The "bounce", Moeller said, "was coming back, and membership is now on the gain again." Cyril Schooling, Junction City, deputy state grange master, urged the Farmers Union to be more fully represented at legis lative sessions and suggested the two organizations work more closely together. John Wallen, resigned chair man of the education committee pointed out "two things wrong with the Farmers Union. First of these was that the lo cals "aren't providing the kind of programs to hold the mem bers," and second, "the Farmers Union isn't developing new lead ers." Wallen urged the membership "to quit pointing your finger at what other organizations have and use the time and energy in stead to try to do better plan ning for your own programs and in developing new leaders." Warren Creech, of Bethel lo cal, Marion County, and John Shephard of Clackamas County, were named delegates from the auto and casualty insurance divi sion to the national convention in Denver next month. Walter Houser, Molalla, and Arnold Spranger, Salem, are the alter nates. Nina Simmons, Polk Coun ty was named delegate to the life insurance division, and for this Houser will again serve as alter' nate.

Shinn said, as he pointed out that the entire 1953 cherry pack in the United States had been sold, and manufacturers indicate that the pack will be processed and go into trade channels before the 1954 pack Is available. Shinn also said that the use of Maraschino and Glace Cherries by the consuming public is on a marked Increase." With this. increase in consump tion, there still has been no ma terial increase in Royal Anne Type Sweet cherry acreage dur ing the past ten years, whereas there has been a continuous de crease due to old orchards being removed without replacement - The site for the proposed new orchard should be chosen care fully, Dr. Quentin Zielinski, asso" ciate horticulturist at the state college, told the growers. He ad Jed there were many ideal sites in Marion County, and no sub marginal sites should be consid ered. No amount of skill of the orchardist can compensate, Dr. Zielinski said, for poor soil or an incorrect site. Dr. Zielinski also pointed to Van, a new variety from British Columbia, "as promising." Other speakers were Jim Smart, Polk County Cherry grower-who told of some of his experiences with new cherry plantings: S. C. Jones, Oregon State College, who described insect pests and their controls, and Norman Dobief OSC, showed pictures to illustrate his discussion on disease prob lems. John Hansen, Polk County ex tension agent, served as chair man. Flag Presented In Ceremonies At Salem School An Oregon Flag was presented to Garfield School Friday in memory of J. B.
