PAVTj twelve "MTDFOTfr) ArATT; TRTBTTNT!. fEDFOHD. ORF.GOV. STTND'AT. FEBEUART 16. 193fi, ON CO-OP PLANT Plans to Be Discussed at Tuesday Meeting Carl ton Urges Speedy Action ""for 1936 Results. Contrary to expectation no definite action on a proposed Rogue valley cooperative pear cannery waa taken at a meeting of orchard Uta held at the Hotel Med ford y eater day after noon under auspices of the Prutt Grower League, Inc. Tnotead, after an hour-and-a-half meeting characterized more by apathy than enthusiasm, the project was re ferred for doclslon to the commerce and afrriculture committee vrhtch functioned some time ago on matters of general community Interest. The committee Is composed of three mem bers each from the Fruit Growers League) the Rogue Valley Traffic as sociation and the Jackson County Chamber of Commerce, the presidents of the three organisations being members ex-officio. "'We did not think the cannery would go over with the first effort," the meeting was told by Edward W, Carlton, chairman of the committee that prepared a comprehensive report on the economics of a cooperative canning plant. "The valley needed irrigation bad ly." he continued, "but we did not get Irrigation until we had made three efforts. The peer situation is not acute enough now. We have to be stung more severely. We hear only rumblings now." While he did not erplaln his re marks, they were Interpreted by the growers as referring to the tactics al legedly used by commercial canneries In assuming full authority for grad ing fruit and In withholding price Quotations until it was too late for the producers to seek other outlets. The commerce and agriculture com mittee Is to meet at a luncheon Tues day at the Hotel Med ford to dlsouM the situation, It was stated last night by A. H. Ban well, secretary of the Fruit Growers League. A. 8. V. carpenter, secretary of Southern Oregon Bales, Inc., who pre sided In the absence of Ray Ward, president of the Fruit Growers League, appointed Mr. Carlton and Walter Leverette to represent the league on the committee. Presidents of the chamber of commerce and the traffic association are to name thetr com mittee members tomorrow. After a vote was taken by the rais ing of hands, Mr. Carpenter announc ed that the sentiment of the meeting wss in favor of a cooperative cannery by a small majority. About 30 persons were present, J. A. Ferry was of the opinion that the start was being made from the wrong end. "First we should get a man here who la capable of managing a can nery." he said. Ma man who known business management and what the trade needs. Growers wont sign up until they 'know about the manage ment. Thero is no reason why we enn't-run a cannery successfully here but we must have the proper manage ment. We can got all the processors we require but what Is needed is an efficient snd capable manager." Mr. Carlton replied that hla com mittee had carefully considered man agement but contended that the first requisite was a pledge of support from growers. Pears pledged at the meet ing totaled only 180 tons, but Mr. Carlton said many growers were out of the valley and so the amount pledged was not entirely Indicative of the tonnage that might be made available for the cannery. Dr. George B. Dean said he thought It better for a small representative group to start the cannery. "Let a small group, with few growers giving their entire crop, get the cannery started and then when it Is a gong concern Invite all the other growers to come In." he stated "That Is better than trying to get all the growers In first, each pledging a small part of his crop." J, C. Barnes siwgested that SOa establish the cooperative cannery and j Mr. Carpenter said he would put the i matter up to his board of directors. Othfrs suggested that all the dlstrl- ; butors and packing houses unite In establishing the cannery. Mr. Carlton counseled the meeting that speedy action was required a plans must be completed by March , IS if the cannery Is to be launched this year.

It is built into every part of the car in those things you see and those that are hidden. We say it with assurance because it has been the experience of so many millions of drivers that many months after your first ride you will still be saying "I'm glad I bought a Ford." The Ford Motor Company is not content with ordinary specifications for materials. Its own stand ards of quality for many important parts are con siderably higher than usually accepted standards. Ford valves are an example of this extra value. They are made of a nickel-chrome alloy-steel that " contains 13 chromium, 13 nickel and 2 silicon. This unusually high alloy content increases resistance to heat insures more efficient, economical perform ance and longer life. Intake valves, as well as exhaust valves, are made of this more expensive teelin the Ford V-8. It is one of several good reasons why the Ford engine is singularly free of valve troubles. It costs us more to build a car like this yet the price of the Ford V-8 remains low. Ford manufac turing methods save many dollars for Ford owners and bring fine-car quality within the reach of every one who drives.
