THE WEATHER H JTETH YEAE. k P'k f r I It rv i 1 MUST GET t TOGETHER l So Says W. K. Newell, President of State Horticultural Board, Who Is Spending, a Few Days in Valley Pleased With Progress Toward Co-operation Evident Here. That organization Is ho one factor which can do the most to help tho commercial grower of fruit Is tho be lief advanced by W. K. Newell, pres ident of the state board of horticul ture, who Is spending a few days In tho valley. Mr. Newell eays: "Tho most Important question now confronting tho fruitgrower of tho northwest Is that of organization and distribution. Up to tho present time tho market problem has been a com paratively easy one, because wo have had only a small quantity of very fancy stuff, and buyers were eager to get It. Rut each year production will double If not quadruple, and tho old method, or I should say lack of method, of marketing will no long er suffice. Chicago and New York alone cannot use all our product. New Markets Needed. "There are thousands of towns In the United States that would use In tho aggregato enormous quantities of our fruit that now nover see It at all. With tho completion of tho Pan ama canal, wo can load refrigerator steamers at our ports and tho mar kets of Europo will bo almost at our doors, nut tho Individual grower or small dealer cannot posslbluy reach or develop these markets. It will not suffice to simply send a fmv cars to new markets In times of plenty, in order to create a demand that can be depended upon there must bo a steady, regular supply at tho com mand of the retailer. Examples Cited. "Look, for instance, at the banana and tho orange they are always on sale everywhere, from tho swellest frultorers on Hroadway to the small est grocory In the most Insignificant village. Wo must, as tho supply In creases, distribute northwestern ap ples and pears Just as wldoly and thoroughly. It Is obvious that this can bo done only by moans of a strong organization. Such an organ ization thoro will bo in duo time, and It rests with tho growers right now to say whether it shall bo an organ ization of groworo or one of dealers. It seoms to me of vital Importance that tho growers havo control of such nn organization. I believe In using every available method of dis tribution, of giving every commission man a chance to share in tho work, but tho control of the fruit nbsolute- (Continued on Page Ji.)

Tho authorities will tako no doflnlto nctlonnt pres ent, devoting all their onergles to a search of the Starbuck ranch, where It is said tho threo Kendalls wero killed. Sheriff Smith's deputies todny con tinued their search of tho lavlnes nnd canyons on tho ranch In tho hopo of finding additional charred bones or other relics that might show that T. A. Kendall, tho son, also was killed. A bnndlo of bono fragments, Includ ing a jawbone, bolloved to havo boon that of young Kendall, was brought here today for examination by Bur geons nnd dentists. Son Also Murdered. The jawbone Is rolled upon by tho Sonoma officials to establlim tho fact that young Kendall was killed and his body cremnted. In tho jaw aro gold filled teeth, and these, It Is hop ed, will estrblish Identity.
