The Jugo-Slaviiin king, Alex

with canes, at intervals, all

were treated in similar fasnion.

by the different groups that both
Governor Norblad and Senntor Hall

the closing of llogue river to com

I Van Hoevenberg Reports
Major Points at Joint
Meeting of Traffic Asso
cation and Fruit Growers'
League.
At n joint meeting of the Kogue
Utver Traffic asHociation nm tlie
fruitgrowers league held this noon
at the Hotel Medford, a statement
on the proponed changes in tho
spray residue regulations was pre
sented by 11. Van Hoevenberg, Jr.,
who conferred recently with fed
eral officials in San I'Yauclsco.
The five major points of the Van
Hoevenberg report, approved by 1
the meeting, are as follows:
1. That ho far as tho Medford
district is concerned, the ehangeH
adopted, If any, will be minor ones
and of a routine nature only.
2. The authorities express; the
highest appreciation of tho effici
ent system developed here and tho
' good faith with which the Malt
Lake City agreement has been car
ried out. On Its part, tho govern
ment is also scrupulously living up
to the spirit of that agreement
wherever tho necessary coopera
tion is being secured.
3. A slight reduction in the tol
erance allowed (.017 to .1)15) has
been known to the local industry
for several weeks, and Is entirely
satisfactory.
1. Tho necessity for handling
peiirn rapidly is well understood.
The laboratory system developed
here to insure prompt testing,
comes within the definition of u
"central laboratory" and will prob
ably be continued in Its entirety.
G. After tho response of tho
industry is received through tho
northwest spray committee, tho
regulations will be adopted In
final form,' und announced to the
industry aevcrul weeks in advance
of tho earliest picking in this lo
cality. Book Standard
Tho proposed changes are mads
for the purpose of securing a
staudardlzatlon of spray Inspec
tion. A final meeting, after ull
distrlctH concerned havo submitted
j reports, will be held ln Juno In
San Francisco, where a represen
tative of the Aledford district will
be in attendance.
It was brought out that thero
would be no change In the present
laboratory system of the industry
here, and that tho objective of tho
government was to centralize tho
control and not havo It scattered.
H was suggested at tho meeting,
that tho Medford district be em
braced In the California Inspection,
n this section lit climatically In
( that zone, and, unlike the north
west district proper, which Is prin
cipally concerned with apples In
stead of pears. The matter may be
broached nt the Juno meeting In
San KranclHCO, after consideration
by local fruit growing and ship
ping organisations.
Van Hoevenberg stressed a pre
vious statement, that local fruit
interests have no cause for alarm
from uny change In the spray
regulations, which, he said, would
be minor and easily adhered to. .
C. C. Kfmbull, head of the Kim
ball Fruit company, was a guest at
the meeting, and gave sidelights
on the fruit situation and prospects
throughout Die Pacific coast dis
tricts. The specification for the coming
season of the Northwest Cunning
association were presented to the
meeting, fur Information and
study.

In the past few days a dodger
