"The new officers will serve for the 1837-38 period. Plan ApproTed It was announced at the meeting that the secretary of agriculture had tentatively approved the marketing agreement under the aubeldy plan for ' 1937-38. League officers were then authorized to sign the agree ment with the secretary of agricul ture and the document waa sent by airmail to Washington from Portland Thursday night. Shippers, hsndlera and growers are now being aaked In each district to sign the sgreement with the pear league. Under termi of the agreement the government pays 60 cents a box on fruit dispatched to out-of-channel marketa, the purpose being to ex pand domestic and foreign outlets. meeting Held Here At a special meeting of shippers and handlers of the Medford district here Friday noon, copies of the agree- ment were furnished and signatures procured from those present repre senting a majority of the tonnnge of ' this area, It waa announced by Mr. Reter. other ahlppera and grow era are being contacted for slgna' tures and all are Invited to partlcl pate in the marketing plan. The plan this yesr will be con ducted under management of the Medford shippers committee. It con- , templates at flrat the ripening and aslei promotion of Bosc pears In southern marketa of the United States. The Oregon-Wsshlngton-CoJIfornla Pear bureau will cooperate with the league In the advertising and pro motion campaign In the southern markets, Mr. Reter related. The bu reau la experienced In thla sort of work In the established markets and at present Is conducting a widespread Boso campaign In the east. 10 Percent of Crop "Certain southern markets are to be selected by the committee as control markets and they will be handled In general In the same man ner as the Medford Bosc committee developed the Detroit market some years ago." Mr. Reter explained. "Marketa other than the controlled marketa will be sold on an f. o. b. basis." It ll hoped that the committee can market about 10 poroent of the Paclflo cosat Bosc crop In the new southern marketa with the aid of the subsidy payments of BO cents a box from the government. . It la felt by the Medford com mittee In charge of the program that the marketing of 10 percent of the Pacific Boso crop In new centers will materially relieve the normal markets of . present supplies and aid In pro curing a higher price In the normal Belling channels. Over Half From Here The commltteo eatlmoted that the 10 percent to be diverted to the new southern markets would comprise about 100 cars. More than half of this quantity would be provided by tha Medford district, the committee said. Briefly, the sgreement provides for a crop estimate and the fixing of a percentage of free tonnage whlc;i each grower may sell as he pleases through any shipper he desires. Then the difference Is delivered to the league and becomes an excess pool. Last year the government paid a subsidy up to to cents a box to compensate for the loss In selling price In marketa open to surplus compared with the selling price In the established marketa. Com reels Available This year It Is proposed that a rial 60 cents per box be paid for a'l fruit shipped to the out-of-channel markets. It was niao proposed that the agreement apply only to Boac. D'AnJou. Hardy and Winter Nell,-, pears. It waa suggested that no subsidy payments be made on do meatlc shipment) until after Octo ber 10 In order to protect Bartlctt pear shippers.
