ducers will meet June 28 at the Ore­
gon Agricultural college to formu­
late a program based on the recent
prune studies of the federal bureau
of economics, announces Paul V.
Maris, director of the extension ser­
vice. Delegates to the convention
will be chosen at community meetings
to be held in the following districts:
Forest Grove April 22, Albany

lege April 26, Corvallis April 27,

Recommendations of the bureau
will be summarized by C. J. Hurd

sion service, who use special charts
and lantern slides showing conditions
brought out in the prune survey.
B. H. Critchfield, who conducted the
survey, is expected to attend the
main convention of the one hundred
growers in June.
‘‘This plan is in harmony with the
sentiment of the growers at the
Salem meeting April 12,” said Paul
V. Maris, director of the extension
service. ‘‘These growers want some­
thing done on organization and sales
service before the year’s crop is
harvested.
PRUNE COMMITTEE
WORKS ON PLAN
April 18, 1927
Editor, Eastei-n Clackamas News:
Hiving been asked several times
for a statement of the situation as
to organization among the dried
prune growers, particularly in view
of the fact that the report was made
by the Government Economist at Sa­
lem on the 12th, we want to say that,
while some people were desirous of
holding up action awaiting this gov­
ernment report, in view of the state­
ments made to us by the different
prune growers, to the best of our
knowledge, the growers are not wil­
ling to enter into any other kind of
an organization at this time except
one which includes the commercial
packers along very similar lines to
the plan used in California.. There­
fore, it seems to us there is nothing
to do but wait until there is a defi­
nite organization formed in Califor­
nia, or at least a tentative contract
definitely signed by the shippers.
After this is done then the committee
of five can immediately meet and see
if some plan can be agreed upon to
conform to the ideas expressed by
the prune growers of Oregon in pre­
vious meetings.
It has seemed to us that May 5th
should be the latest date for Oregon
to wait, and if the committee of
five by that time has not been able
to fully outline a plan for the Ore­
gon growers and packers both to
work together, then we think it is
time to take up a different plan
which may be possible with the
glowers. We believe before May
5th California is going to have her
plan completed and we are going to
have a plan to offer from the com­
mittee of five. When that time ar­
rives we will be ready to do our part
in going out and discussing the plan
and assisting to organize the dried
prune industry in time to handle the
1927 crop. Until such time as we
can go before the growers with a de­
finite plan as a substitute in case we
cannot work out the plan they desire,
we have nothing new to give to the
growers. The committee of five is
now working on an Oregon plan.

POULTRY BREEDING
FLOCKS TESTED
PREPARE FOR
MILITARY CAMP
Testing breeding flocks of poultry
bacilary white diarrhea by the
college experiment station is stea­
dily advancing, reports Dr. W. T.
Johnson, poultry pathologist. Blood
samples are taken of every individual
fowl in the flock and sent to the de­
partment of veterinary medicine,
where it is analyzed.
The object of this work is to find
which are infected with bacillary
white diarrhea germs. Flocks are
tested once a year or more according
to the seriousness of the disease.
Some flocks are found entirely free
from disease and recommendations
are made by the department of vet­
erinary medicine to keep them free.
Already 29500 chickens have been
tested so far this year and Dr. John­
son expect* that it will reach 100,000
next year.
Active prepar'ions for the Citi­
zens Military Training camp for in­
fantry to bo held at the Vancouver
barracks from June 17 to July 16
are under way at the present time
and a complete tent camp,, equipped
with showers, bath houses, kitchens,
and mess halls will bo in piece ready
for tho 371 boys who are expected
to take advantage of tho opportunity
for military and citizenship training
during the vacation months.
Tho camp is open to boys between
the uges of 17 to 24 inclusive, for
the basic course. The expenses of
going to and returning from the
camp will be paid by the government
and each boy will be furnished with
a uniform, food and shelter, free of
charge, while at the camp.
Places have been reserved for 20
boys from Clackamas county.
No obligation for future service
in any component of the United tates
army attaches to attendance at the
camps.

The city council, at its last meet

which provides for a curfew bell, en­

TREATING POTATOES
For most of the small growers in
