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.
The "Fruitgrowers' Agency" is al
