(b) If Senator Borah or Senator

You can have one guess and no

Note The underlying Importance
of this decision Is far beyond what
Al hinted. It cute his party ties
more definitely than he did. It

CALLED 10 MEET
!EI
All Rogue valley fruit growers were
Invited today to attend a forum In
the Jackson county court bouse audi
torium next week to discuss the prac
ticability of establishing a pear can
nery here.
The Invitation was Issued by Ray
Ward, president of the Fruitgrowers'
league, following a meeting of league
directors yesterday afternoon in the
Jackson County Chamber of Com
merce, where- the special committee
named some ,ttme ago to study the
cannery proposition submitted
fact-finding report. The day and
hour of the forum would be an
nounced later. Mr. Ward said.
Instead of reaching any conclusion
themselves, the directors yesterday
voted to place the committee report
before all the growers of the valley
for their consideration and decision.
Contents of the report were not re
vealed, though it was said no recom
mendations were made.
The question of a co-operative can
nery was raised last fall when dis
satisfaction arose over the methods
used by California canneries In quot
ing prices for fruit. It was contended
that the California buyers withheld
quotations until It was too late for
the growers to do anything but sell
their fruit at the prices offered. The
growers then talked of establishing a
co-operative cannery of their own and
a, committee was named to study the
proposition.
