Benton County fruit growers are planning to organize an association for the advancement of horticultural interests In that locality. At a recent meeting held for that purpose in Cor vallis, says the Gazette-Times, atten tion was called to the fact that Benton County, without an organization, got 60 and 60 cents for the same kind of fruit that Linn County was selling for from $1.25 to $2.60. No intelligent interest would select a community where there is no protection from pests for the investment of a half mil lion dollars. It is a fact, that millions of dollars are lost in Benton County, because a man might put out a decent orchard and next door to him might be a pest-laden place that would com pletely destroy its value. T. E. Kerr told of the successs of the Hood River Association and read Its constitution, favoring its adoption, at least in part. The association was a corporation which two years ago re quired a member to hold $2 0 worth, or two shares of stock. Now a mem ber holds $100 worth of stock and the investment pays seven per cent. J.
