Aside from the report o f the

er. and a report of the special
committee, investigating methods
to r bettering the oonditlons of
the association, little business was

.
The report of the commission
recommended that the growers
m arket all of their crops through
the association, not selling the
better grade of produce ~the in-
selves and m arketing the second
class or cull stuff through the
association.
Only by marketing th e ir pro
ducts entirely through the asso

placed on a paying basis, the re
port declared.
Support o r the people pt Ash-

R. h . Kipp, manager of the
marketing department of the.
Portland chamber of commerce,
appeared a t th« meeting, and
discussed the various phases of

growers. No definite action was
taken upon his recomendations.
