Triple-A Market Programs Receive Oregon Backing Prospects for at least two and pos sibly three federal marketing agree ments being in force in Oregon for this year's crops are seen by AAA officials as a result of recent action at Washington and sentiment ex pressed at hearings held in this state. The proposed marketing agree ment for handling Oregon and Wash ington fresh prunes in the Milton Freewater and Walla Walla districts has been given tentative approval by the secretary" of agriculture and will go into effect if finally accepted by a vote of the producers. This district has been working for several years under a voluntary agreement plan worked out with the assistance of the extension marketing specialists at Oregon State college, which led to a request to go a step farther and obtain federal support for a more inclusive marketing program. Hearings on the proposed potato marketing agreement held at Klam ath Falls, Redmond and Portland brought considerable enlightened discussion and suggestions from the growers and dealers, according to those who attended the meeting. Growers in the chief commercial areas were sympathetic toward any promising effort to stabilize the marketing procedure, but made a number of suggestions in connection with possible administrative defects. The most serious question raised at the hearings in Oregon was over the inclusion of western Oregon in the proposed marketing control area. It wa9 pointed out that a compara tively small percentage of western Oregon production enters interstate commerce, and that perhaps the gen eral plan would meet with better success if the valley region were omitted. Hearings on the prposed hop mar keting agreement held in Salem, Santa Rosa, Calif., and Yakima, Wn., brought fairly unanimous approval of such a program from the growers and brewers, in contrast to similar hearings held in 1935, when growers were divided in sentiment and brew ers mostly antagonistic. Brewers this time agreed to cooperate in the plan with the understanding that at some future time they would urge elim inating more of the low grade prod uct, instead of a horizontal reduction.
