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.

Employers and longshoremen of the
flan Francisco waterfront today re
newed their almost constant warfare
after a brief lapse with a dispute over
the number of trailers the workers
should haul In moving cargo.
Comparatively insignificant In It
self, the dispute reflected the troub
led labor situation which some ob
servers expect to break out Into a
strike paralleling that which tied up
shipping for three months In 1934
and led to the flan Francisco general
strike.
The trouble began on the docks of
the American-Hawaiian Steamship
company, where reportedly the com
pany directed the men to haul three
trailers Instead of two.

It costs us more to build a car like this
Ford quality goes far below the surface. 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.
