In his report Hec.retary ilib.son had the folowing to tell the growers: Sale! As heretofore the unle of all of our pork has been handled exclusively by the Oregon Fruit Helling company, ninniu;ed by M. riuinlng, whose report Is hereto attached. Kinnnces We point, with we hope pardonable pride, to our fin ancial statement hereto atlachel We have at last arrived at tin point where we can ny that our stock 1m worth the amount our Mock certificate!! proclaim It to be, 1. $100 per share, ami more, as It Is present book viluo li $114.43 per share. It has consum ed four years of our time and ef fort to overcome and pay Tor our organisation and promotion fen. We trutst, however, that those four yearn ot experience are not with out value to our organization Pruned You doubtless It n n w that the prune lonmiLiO in thl.i organisation far exceed. tha ca pacity of the cannery to c.tu same during a normal crop year, nor d I believe that It would he good business to try to can all of th prunes evi n If H were p.i.-MiLlc with our i recent eipupmoit t . do f" I i n of the (.pinion, how iver, that this orgnntintlon shmild l once start a movement to provide a dried prune pucklng plant of mil fie lent ca-paelty to at Ictst care f: all of the dried prunes In our soclntlon. The probable cot i f ll.H added equipment would be $20,000 to I2R.000. This InvcHrmen.

The only thing needed Is the proper enmpment. am of the opinion that should this move he dee (red and the prune growers he willing to sltow a cer tain fixed amount per pound to he deducted from their returns rach year, this deduction nut to a-nount to more than the usual charge made by the eommercl it packer for this work, that arrangement could be made for getting the money needed for tills Improve ment and that It would pay out In five or six years. The future The uefulnvM of thin organisation to Its member la entirely In your hands it ' go ing to be JiiKt what you make It. There Is no hokus-puctta or mys tery In co-operative m g rut V This Is just a plain bielnas to an i nation subjfct to sll the Viwu's that any other bitftincn nr;vnlai Hon may have, urinr : ha Pi.st four years of our existenc ve have hnd sume setbacks. W" should profit by thee errors. If you nmy be pleased to call them uch, and Miive to see that the do not occur again. However, we hnvt no assurance nor ran we hop to avoid all error In the fu ture. We are surrounded by many who are opposed to ro-nperatlve organisation. Three people nevei ml;.t an opportunity to hand in a ck. Our obrttM'vatlon haw been that their mont fertile field for op- atlon ia among our weok-knood embers. Where ever such arc and words of dincaunigmeiit uid diHcontcnt are fed to l.i.P. Tlu hoIo object of tliis is to dlm-upt nd liiiMt up Hie organization. Thun iich one t'hould ever bear in mind that ho has a mutuality of Inter- wilh every other member of this organization. It la this spirit whi.-h builds up and mnki-n a .suc- esrtlul organlzjibinn. The more wo nave of Una helprul spirit the moro wo will prosper. O ir prob lem Is an economic one and must be solved by the application of the same fundamental and economic lawa to the buslnevw of packing nd marketing our fruits that ail other aiKxessful buelnes.H organi sations employ. Wo hope to sve the day, ajul that not fur dlitant, when co-operativo oixanizutlons of the northwest will be strong enough name price- on our product based first on a fair return to the prndnoer of the raw product, then by the elimination of waste Iq the Ustribution of sa-me to the con sumer that both may boneflt. I.e.. the producer will get a fair price for his product nnd the consumer will iwiy lew nnd consume more. Never before have the leaders of marketing associations come Into aueh friendly and helpful contact with the highest officials of our government as at this time. Presi dent Coolldge, Heereturv of Com merce Hoover anil Hec-retary of Agrleullure Jardino are enthulafl- tleally boosting co-operative effort. Phis help is directed to thoAo who are trying to help themselves, Ulk mg tne sound theory that real co operation must orilgnate In the minds of the producers themselven and that they must work out their own problems without Interference except In a friendly and advisory way irom the general govern ment. Quality pack We wlah to lm press this thouKht In your minds As growers your ennnery la in competition with all other eanner iea of our country be they located in Maine, Michigan or Oregon, who pack the same kinds of fruitn. While we of Oregon feel that we are especially blessed with certain climatic conditions that some othem may not have. It behooves us at all times to trv to see that nothing leaves our plant carrying our labels that will not reflect oredtt on our name. Primarily, .vtr. urower, tnts rest with you However well fruit may be hand led In the process of canning, n does not Improve In quality In the cannery. In other words, in order to have a quality paek we must have quality fruit delivered on the receiving platform. A cloning word or two I wish to appeal to you Individually and collectively to be loyal and true to your organisation. You will In the future as you have been In the pant, be approached with offers for your fruit whach on the face seeru inviting. IUIU will be offered to some of the most ausceptlhle. In the face of this we ask that you ma k a inir comparison ot :n prlcea you have received here with prices paid by the commercial packer. We menu by this the prices actually pad by them and not me orters usually made about this sea win of the yesr, then If yen are not ntirtet with your o oritanlKitlon, If you cann.tt booet for It. do not knock but sell your siock io some one who doi be lieve In the co-operative effort, lour yeare ago when thj wiiter came into this org,Miinion with out experience In this particular line of work, we had a pile of JonK which by a Ion etrc'th ol imagination was called a ennnery. Our stock had a doubtful value ot about $40 per share. To Jay we have a modem up-to-date plan with equipment second to none In this part of the country. Our stock has an actual appraiaed value of $114 41, we have a credit suf ficient to take rare of our business nd we owe no one a dollar. Because of crop conditions In the Pacific Northwest growers of all fruit commodities, except ap ples and pears, should be entitled to sell their fruiUi at hihxer price this year, according to a bulletin isKued' by Melnruth-Corbaley com pany of Seattle. The company states It has had IU representa tives in every section combing the territory for accurate crop Infor mation. The bulletin place !' ' cranber ry crop In Oregon at :r cent of the normal-and in ;hington at from 25 to 30 per ecu. There should be an upward reaction in gooseberries the bulletin eays. Koyal Annes show a considerable less crop because of failure to pol len ize and the prune crop serious ly curtailed for the snme reason. The bulletin in part la aa fol lows; The market on Oregon nnd Washington canned goods ia not In as logical or as easily understand able a position aa that of Califor nia. This ia because we are confront ed with curtailed production on a number of berries. We have a crop condition that justifies high er markets. Thla la complicated by the fact that a conalderablc part of northwestern canned goods is marketed by California factors who have difficulty In seeing any thing but a California market, and especially Is it complicated by the unwillingness of buyers to believe anybody who claims crop short age. Here nre the facts as of May S Strawberries Normal crop, (fit ters berg yield not determined). (.ooseberrrPs Normal crop that justifies a price of $6 on No. 10 water. Spot cleanup sales at $4 md $4.50 illustrate a market that ha gone too low and will now net upward. Red raspberries Oregon 75 per cent to 30 per cent crop. Wahing- on, which produces .three-fourths of red raspberries, will fall short of a 60 per cent crop, Hlack rnapberrles Close to nor ma,!. Loganberries Oregon nrobablv 60 per cent of normal. Washington not to exceed 25 to 30 per cent. Oregon canners hope to take core of moderate requirements. Washi ngton very short. Blackberries Oregon about 50 per cent crop. With favorable weather, Washington may have 60 per cent. Koyal Annes Considerable loss of fruit because of poor pollenlza- lon. Crop not heavy, popwibility of serioua shortage. Prunes Seriously curtailed by rains interfering with pollenlza- ion. Hartle-tt pears and npplea Sub stantially heavier than last year. With these conditions, the grow ers of all commodities except pears and apple should be entitled to sell their fruit at price higher han last year. They nre not only entitled to do that, but they are going to do it it they have to force on abnormal percuntage into the fresh market, RMem will be headquarters again this year for the black cherry ship ping operations of Denney & com pany in Oregon, according to an nouncement made by Roy Ilural, the company's traveling represen tative, and packing nnd shipping will be done from the old balein Kruit Union building. Plants will be established at Sa lem, Portland, Kugene, Sheridan and McMlnnville. The company had contemplated handling 150 cars of cherrie this year, but conditions now look, ac cording to Hurst, that the tonnage will be somewhat less than that. It Is expected that shipping will start between June 25 and July I. The tonnage already is largely signed up, Hurst elate, but the company is taking on some more where available. The price, he states, Ia yet In definite. He reiterated the warning to growers to spray their cherries, with the first spraying between the first and tenth of June, declar ing that the company absolutely will not accept on handle any un sprayed cherries and growers who fail to spray will be out aa far as Denney & company Is concerned.

All the French groups op erating on the northern front have also been reinforced, especially with artillery. Action of greater violence are expected by the French, the ad vices eay, as Abd-El-Krim, leader of the Riffian Invaders, considers his reputation at stake and is con-tutting the Fez-Kenltra railway and reserves to continue the movement to a decisive end it is said a con certed movement will be made against the Invaders along a aixty mile front with the objective of driving them into the mountains to the north. ! The latest Information gathered by the French Intelligence aerv.ee ten da to confirm previous reports that Abd-el-Krlm is planning to make his chief effort from the Ouezzan region, with the idea of outflanking the French left wing, eentratlnji all his best forces against the French. The Riffian crtief has repeated hla call to the colors for all rebets against the French and ia reported, to be receiving aid from some of the tribesmen in the Invaded zone. He Is said to have pan-Islamic and soviet agents working among those tribes which have not yet thrown their lot with him. . , French reinforcements moving to the relief of their comrades along the front line encountered moat trying conditions, be'ng.rorc ed to croes open territory In which they were subjected to sniping from the rebels. ADVANCE IS D! JE 010 FRUIT PRICES, BELIEF The general dried fruit market is still quiet on the coast, although reports from eastern marketn In dicate the prospect of renewed buying presently and there Is n quite general report of improved nterest on the part of export buy ers In thta line also, says the Cali fornia Fruit News. The small buying during the spring months by nil markets has allowed the accumulation of sup plica from the heavier winter business to clean up, apparently. There is little If any, chnmio in quotations in California In any line thte. week. Prunes in California are still quoting at lat week's level but the general feeling at this writing ia that the market Is improving and that Inquiry may he expected to regnst er better results in t he near future. In the Pacific north west the" very low quotations oi prunes which were available in some quarters during Ihe dull per iod recently, have been withdrawn and there Is no question but what better vahTea will rule for what Is left of the .northwest Italian prune from last crop, as the unaild hold ings are small and the prospect Is very poor for tho coming crop. The .prune crop In Oregon la very definitely damaged. This Is not "a hard luck story. as such reports early In the se.u n are at times thought to be. The Salem and Pallas districts re, without question, going to have nn extreme ly abort crop and It is figured that in those two districts alone the loss from what would be a good crop wui be at least 13.0i)0,"t)'i pounds, and other Oregon districts are light The expectation, however, is that on account of this, good sizes may be anticipated. Fifty eight hundredths Inchee of rain, starting to fail during the small hours of Pun day morning, continued Intermit t ant ly through out the dav and late Into last night, eliminating all Immediate danger of drought to farms in the Willamette valley. The rain was declared to be worth thousands of didlara to local farmers. IW 7 o clock Sunday morning Oft of an Inch of moisture had fallen. Pet ween that hour and 7 a. m. today exactly half an Inch had been recorded In Ihe official government Instruments. Clear skies today Indicated that there would be no more rain for a con Mderabla, length of time. The Wil lamette river at flnlem was at a level of 9 feet above normal at 7 a. m. today, and reported to be railing at that time. This morn Inc the wind had shifted from the southeast to the north. Reinforcements Rushed Paris, May 11 (By Associated Press) The French reinforce ments from Algeria, which have in a great part arrived in northern Morocco are being sent to strate gle points along the front. At the same time operations continue with the object of relieving the French outposte still surrounded by Abd el-Krim's Riffian warriors. Military men here believe Mar shal Lyuatey will need 100,000 troops to drive the Invaders out. The governor general's forces now number close to seventy thousand, Another 10 days are expected to elaise before tho French coun ter offensive develops.
