To' All Krtiit-Growora in the Itojrui! .Hiver Vnlley: 1 wieh to call the nttvution of nil fruit-jcrowors to the iiuKirtuneo and iipcotwity of linvins; ovuryonc intor oatod in the production of commoroinl fruit join tho "Fruit-Groworu' Agon oyf Inc.," embracing tin- fniit intor enti of the four l'ncifie Northwoat ont atntos, Oregon, Wiinhngton, Ida ho nnd Montiinn. Thin onjnnizntion is founded nnd promoted directly by the office of markets nnd rural organization oi the Unittcd States department of ng rimillure, represented in this aper-inl field by SIobHrs. C. K. Husuctt, C. V. Mooninw and V. II. Kerr, who were detailed by the depnrtnient in tho fall of-JOlfi to undertake the work of in voMigiitiiig fruit growing nnd mar keting conditions in the Pacific Northwest. The department's rep ruhoiitHtivoK have been working con stantly .since their tippoiutmeiit to find a wny of relieving the adverse conditions under which the fruit grower of the four stater have been Inboiiug for hevenil yearn mnt, and I bglieve they have solved the market ing problem for u.. The problem it self is n ximple one, namely, to got the growers in direct touch with the consumers, as nearly as possible, and with u minimum amount of ex, ponse and labor. The successful working out of the plan proposed for its solution, however, depends upon the hearty co-operation of all fruit growur. (lovcniuipiit AnsIMn, This is the problem whoso solu tion was undertaken two years ngo by the r'rtiitgrowers' Council of the l'acific Northwest, of whihcli I was ii director, representing Western Oregon on the board of control. The selling ajjeucicH at that timo were also iiiHorgHtiizou ami iigiuiiiK eucn moor for markets and territory, all, of cniitxi, at the expense of the grow ers whom they represented. Our or gniiizutiou forced the sellint; uxein'ics to orgunixo nnd to work in harmony with omcIi other, for the benefit of the growers, ami they are still working together in haritMUiv along the lines laid down by the Grower.' Council, snd the growers are netting the bene fit. The council, however, ran into a stone wall in the shnpo of the Sher man anti-trust act when it endeavored to govern the pricos at which the products of its inomliors should be bold. Tho inhibition of the council's efforts along this led led in turn to the putting of the marketing and price problem squarely to the gov ernmont's representative, when they attended a mooting of tho council in SHikHno last August, and the result waa the appointment of Mossrs. Has get, Moornnw and Kerr to perform tho work which they have undertaken xs above noted. All (iromtrs Wolcotuu. The plan proposed by them may bo briefly outlined as no organiza tion intended to embrace all individ ual fruitgrower or fruitgrower' as sociations and all selling agencies in the I'scific northwest to be known a the "Fruitgmwer' Agency, Ine.," as sociate niwiilicoliip in which may be obtained by any individual grower n jwyiHentment of $5, the feo for the oiling agencies and fruitgrower' co operative organization to be $100, which secure tht benefits of the pro )mmmh1 nrxanixation to all of the mem ber of auy such fruitgrowers' a MM'iatiou without further payment.
