Dear Sir: Referring to yours of the 8th inst., inquiring as to what kind of satisfaction your Tum-A-Lum Silo lias given, I am glad to say that I am unable to fault it either from the standpoint of turning out a well kept ensilage or as to the matter of keeping it in repair. I am just finishing emptying the silo for the second time, and both years it has been the last to be emptied and I find the feed to be as near perfect as I could expect it to be. Just a little spoiled around some of the doers where we ourselves were not particular enough in chinking all cracks or may 1« in some instances the door was not just true. Not enough to mention in any case. As to the care in adjusting hoops and keeping tight daring our dry hot summer months, I am more than glad to say that I have not spent one minute on it nor given it a moments thought except to go and lo»k at it sometimes when the wind is blowing real hard and silos both empty, to compare the actions of the two under such weather conditions. With my stave silo weaving and crackingfand sometimes falling down) and pulling at the guy wires and breaking the cement from aronnd the bottom, in fact the only thing that keeps it from falling down many times is 4 unsightly guy wires that are ran out in the 4 directions from it, and this after the hoops are tight that it began to buckle and then I put three steel bands on in side, bottom, center and top, ai d a bolt thorugh each 10 or 12 in. From the Tum-A-Lum we have never seen a quiver and we have watched close. Satisfaction? Sure it gives satisfactistion, and while it may not be the best silo ever built I have no hesitancy in saying that I believe it a better silo than any stave silo ever put up or that ever will be pnt up to stand in Yakima climate. There should be two silos as good as the Tum-A-Lum on every ranch of 10 acres or more in the valley. You cannot impress tne necessity for the use of silos too strongly, I am, Truly yours, H. C.

Pacific Poier & Lit Co. 13811191 (From the Hood River Glacier) A request hts been received by the I Commercial club from J. Curtí* Robin son, traffic manager of the Northwest ern Fruit Exchange, of Seatttle, to uae the influence of ita members in secur ing through ratea for deciduous fruita from the Northwest to points south of the Ohio river and east of the Missis sip p i. Mr. Robinson states in his letter that unless the northwestern growers take some organised and decided stand on the rate matter, securing a parity be tween rates to points sooth of the Ohio river with those of cities north of the existir g division line, California will do practically all of the deciduous fruit business in the southeastern psrt of the United States. Revlis & Fucinagli Wia In a esse brought by purchasers of orchard land against Devlin A Pire- baugh, a decision in favor of the plain tiff was recently rendered in Portland by Judge C. if.

"Y our fighting,” he said, makes me think of an Irishman and s negro down home. They were everlastingly fight ing. Their frequent scraps soon grew into s neighborhood disgrace, and one day after they had met and mixed on the roadside, a number of the repre sentative citisens took them to a rear barnyard and drawing a ring told them to fight it out, and let the fight be an end of their troubles. 'When one of you has enough,' ins true tea the ringleader of thi contest preparations, ‘ just yell sufficiency, and we will consider that you have had enough and the other fel low will be pulled off.’ "The two men fought till each was black eyed and bluody. After both were pretty well worn out the Irishman fin ally cried, ‘sufficiency. ’ 'Thank God. white man,’ cried the darkey, ‘ I been tryin’ fer the laat half hour to think that word.’ ” Mr. Moomaw stated that the centra) Spokane office would be operated by the growers and agenciea themselves, that the government would act only in an advisory capacity. He stated that the new plan had been worked out in auch manner that better things could be evolved, and that in the future it was hoped that the plans would permit of growers enjoying all privileges of the Clayton amendment of the Sherman anti-trust law. GROWERS HEAR AGENCY PLAN UNIFORM CONTRACT IS BIG STICK C. W. Moomaw on Friday Points Out Chief Features of Government's Suggestion for Marketing* At a mass meeting called by the Mosier Fruit Growers Association, lo cal apple growers listened to pointed and cognisant facts of an address delivered at Lamb's hall last Fri day afternoon by Clarence W Moomaw, representative of the Office of Markets of the United States Department of Agriculture, who in outlining the pro posed plans of a central growers’ agen cy declared that by signing a uniform contract the grower will hold a "b ig stick" over the operations of sales agencies. The uniform contract pro vides, said Mr. Moomaw. for the with drawal o f tonnage, unless the agree ments embodied in it are carried out. “ Throughout the east.” said Mr. Moomaw, "th e fruit districts of the northweBt have been pointed out as models in the line of cultivation of orchards snd marketing. But we have discovered that you have used your or ganizations o f certain districts to fight the organizations of other districts, and through your fighting have been dissi pating your energies and resources. You yourselves have realized that there has been enough fighting, and unless there is a let up. you are going under.” Mr. Moomaw explained that the cen tral organization of growers and salea agencies, to be conducted at Spokane, would be known ai the Growers' Agen cy, incorporated. To avoid existing legal provisions, he stated, the organ ization is a combination of actual grow ers and selling interests, the board of trustees being composed of five grow ers and five sales interest representa tives. these 10 choosing an eleventh. According to the proposed plan any res ident northwest agency that assemblea and sells a minimum of 100 carloads of fruit may become a member of the central organization on payment of an annual fee of $100. If a grower, pro vided he raises a minimum of a carload of fruit, thinks that he needs greater representation than that granted by signing the uniform contract, he may secure a passive membership by pay ment of an annual fee of $6. Any ¡rower, whoa* tonnage reaches a car- oad, may become an active member by payment ot $100. Communities may select a representative from their midat and join in the payment of the annual fee for an active membership. Mr. Moomaw declared that the apples o f the northwest had changed fiom a former novelty basis when extreme high prices were realized, to that of a commodity bazis, and that adjustments must be made to meet commodity prices now being realized. In his judgment, as expressed in his address, the greatest benefits to be de rived from the combined efforts of growers, through the proposed central agency, * i.l be realized by the gather ing of market reports and the estab lishing each season of a uniform value o f the product before the selling season begins. The uniform contract calls for cooperative machinery in securing reli able crop reports on all fruits, and agencies are required to hold frequent conferences prior to the opening of selling seasons, although they are pro hibited by the Sherman anti-trust law from setting a price. During past seasons, according to Mr. Moomaw, returns on apples have been reduced 10 per cent because of improper methods of handling the prod uct in the orchards. The uniform con tract calla for the establishment of community packing houses, which will enable growers to get their crops into cold storage plant in a minimum time and yet utilize home and family labor. Except for two digressions in his talk. Mr. Moomaw's address was of a general nature, applying to any north western fruit district. In one of the instances he told local growers that they ahould be wained of their prone- nest to believe that in the production of Newtown* and Spitzenburgs they were engaged in a specialized industry. " I t is tru e," said Mr. Moomaw. “ that other districts raise but few of these varieties, but the fruit that they do produce competes to such an extent with yours that you will be sided by any general movement toward coopera tion ." in the other instance Mr. Moomaw praised the local growers for their fore sight in providing adequate storage facilities for a large portion of their annual production. "W e have been so bold,” he said,"as to point out to other districts the inde pendence you fruit men here have be cause of your storage facilities." Mr. Moomaw charscterizsd the an nual scramble o f sales agencies for ton nage as a very hurtful influence. "Agencies should be engaged at this time in plans of marketing, ana the minimum uniform contract provides that the tima for signing tonnage eon- tracts must be limited. We propose to limit this period on apples to July 1.’ The representative of markets pointed out that the uniform contract calls for the cooperation of sales agencies in chartering ships for the exportation of fruits to foreign countries. ''W e bad in m ind," he said, "when we inserted this clause, "the opening of a fruit trade route tc Europe through the Panama eanal, and unless you fruit growers take some action on this mat ter, we do not believe such a route will ever be opened." Mr. Moomaw also eited complaints against freight rates. " I t is tru e," he isid, "that while prices on northwesters boxed apples have slowly declined for the past sev eral years, the freight rates have re mained the same, but you will never be able to secure a good result in getting readjustments as individuals ss you will by organization." It was cipected that Dr Hector Mc Pherson. of the Oregon Agricultural College, who will cooperate with the government in outlining to growers the plans of the new agency.would be her*, but it was impossible for him to come. Mr Moomaw in his discussion of the need of northwestern growers to cease their homicidal competition told ■ good f No: 3 to the party order!n r them, at leral rata«, and paid for before affidavits are furnished.
