Annual Meeting of Rogue River Fruit
& Produce Association Five Di

Proves Satisfactory Venture.
Lower Prices Charged MemJrtrs far
Supplies and Handling Than In
Previous Year Peel Avera.
Tho UoRiic Itlrcr Fruit & Product
association hold Its annual meeting
Tuesday at the public library, for tho
purpose of electing fire new direc
tors, receiving tho report of the ni.v,
ancement, and discussing general top
ics of Interest and matters of policy
In tho management of ita business.
Tho meeting was exceptionally well
attended, both aa to the number of
shares represented and tho number
of Individuals actually present.
Something over 1G00 shares out ot
about 2500 wero actually present In
person or by proxy.
Tho following directors were
elected for a term of three years:
B. S. Palmer, Dcrt Anderson, F. II.
Madden, A. C. Flero and O. A. Hover.
The report of tho management was
received and formally approved. It
corercd In detail the shipment ct
fruit during the season ot 1913 anil
tho prices received for the different
varieties, grades and sizes.
Increase for Year
The averago prices were good, am)
the report showed a substantial in
crease in tonnage over the season of
1912. To bo accurate the assoclattoa
will handle this year 372 cars aa
against 311' cars lost year, an in
crease of 61 cars.
The financial statement showed a
loss on operation of tho year's busi
ness of about $000.00, which, as
was stated. Is readily explained by
the substantial decrease In the
charge made by the association to iU-
growers for handling tholr fruit. Dur
ing the year 1912 the association
charged 7c a box and during the sea
son ot 1913 the charge was only 3c
a box. Upon the total shipments of
approximately 230,000 boxes, thla
would mean a reduction in revenue,
for the association during the past
year of approximately $4500.00. In
addition to this tho supplies ot all
kinds sold by tho association during
tho past year to its growers, were re
duced in price from tho prices ot tho,
year before.
Cold Storage riant
Tho roport on tho cold atorago
plant was equally satisfactory, It ap
pearing that its operation had been,
both physically and financially suc
cessful. Charges of Cc per box upon
apples and 7c por box upon pears for
cold storage had raised a sufficient
rovenuo to pay all ot tho operating
'expenses of the plant, and all fixed
cnargos, inciuuing interest on mo
two series ot bonds. It also ap
