TIIK njjrionJtnrnl conforonoo at Washington endorses co-operATiou.
A reprewntative from California recites facts mut figures to
show that co operation works in that state. And yet it seems next to
impossible to organize n co-operative unit in Oregon, at least ns far
as the pear and apple growers are concerned.
O. Harold Powell, manager of. the California Fruit Grower's ex
change, who delivered the address at Washington, lias we believe,
hit upon the secret of failure in this state.
He says first, there must be a will-to-work-co-operatively. He

well account for the unsatisfactory results of the co-operative move
ment thus far. No extensive will to co-operate, which means wil
lingness on the part of the individual to subordinate temporary selfish
advantage, to permanent welfare of the industry as a whole, lias
been created. Instead of handling pears and apples only, the Oregon
Growers have tried to handle everything from prunes to parsnips.
Instead of securing the best ability at the head of the organization
available, the ability with a few minor exceptions, has been secoud
rate, and the overhead has been out of all proportion to the returns.
It may be true these defects are inherient in the situation, that
until thevolume of fruit produced is greatly increased, Oregon can
not follow California's example in all directions.
But in the matter of the will to co-operate this is ccrtainlynot the
ease. The great trouble in Oregon, we believe, is the absence of any
prevailing will of this description. Vntil a vast majority of the fru't
growers are convinced that co-operation is essential to any permanent
prosperity in their own business, there seems slight hope of material!
