(Continued from lJgo Out.)
ploy of the U. S. bureau of engi
neering at the Medford experiment
station, gave a talk on "The Control
of Boll Moisture." The lecture was
expanded from the point of view of
Irrigation by Olen Arnsplger, manager
of the Medford Irrigation district, and
from the point of view of orchard
production by Bert Lowry. manager
of the Bear Creek Orchards.
"Moisture teste are of much value
to 'any grower who will Intelligently
use them," Mr. Lowry concluded.
Talks on Sprays. .
James Marshall, assistant entomol
ogist at the Washington state experi
ment station, talxed on "Controlling
Codling Moth with New Spray Com
binations." He described various
.sprays being used In the Wenatcbee
district.
A resolution adopted at the annual
business session thanked the- Elks
lodge for the use of its temple. An
other resolution thanked the pro
gram committee, the speakers, the
Rogue River Valley Traffic associa
tion and "all others who have aided
In the success of this 62nd annual
meeting of the society." t
Passage of the Pettenglll bill by
congress was urged in a resolution.
The bill provides for repeal of the
fourth section of the transportation
act and enactment was considered of
vltal concern to the fruit growers
of this state In the securing of re
duced rail freight rates."
Opposes Train Limits.
The society went on record In a
resolution as opposing passage of a
bill before congress that would limit
freight trains to 70 cars or half a
mile In length. It being contended
the limitation would result m pro
hibitive freight rates. The resolution
called upon Oregon representatives
and senators to "take such action as
will promptly defeat all efforts .of
railroad employes, and particularly
those engaged In train and engine
service, from crippling railroad trans
portation by legislation that would
increase transportation costs."
Other resolutions adopted by the
aoctoty follow In full:
Whereas, during the past year It
has been the practice of the United
States department of agriculture, bu
reau of agricultural economics, to re
lease for publication In the general
prssa of the country certain crop pro
duction figures, accompanied by price
forecasts, and
Whereas, the release of such price
predictions has a tendency to react
unfavorably to producers by reason
of purchasers losing confidence In the
market value of such products, caus
ing purchasers to either delay or re
frain from making forward purchases
and thereby contributing to the de
moralization of markets at producing
points, and
Possible Errors Seen.
Whereas, particularly with perlshr
able crops such forecasts of either
production or price are apt to be
erroneous because of the many con
tributing fsctors, such as weather or
reductions In harvest of competing
crops,
Now, therefore, be It resolved, by
the members of the Oregon State
Horticultural society here assembled
In annvi meeting, that the secretary
ot agriculture be requested to refrain
from Issuing any press releases or
publications of any kind concerning
price forecasts, and that great care
be exercised In the compiling and
Issuance of production estimates, and
tiist when such estimates are released
they shall refer only to known com
mercial production and yearly pro
duction figures be compared and re
ferred to on a commercial basis only,
and
Be It further resolved .that the sec
retary be Instructed to forward copies
ef this resolution to the Hon. Henry
A. Wallace, secretary of agriculture,
and to the State of Oregon and the
secretary of toe Washington State
Horticultural society.
Favors Associated Farmers.
Whereas, during the past year the
agricultural and horticultural pro
ducers on the Pacific coast have suf
fered severe loss and damage In the
harvesting, processing and transpor
tation of their crops, . due .to, unset
tled labor conditions and the strife
within the ranks of organized labor,
and
Whereas, leaders of the rival fac
tions of organized labor have an
nounced that a concerted effort will
be made during 1038 to organize the
agricultural, and horticultural labor
of the Pacific coast and to enforce
closed shop conditions, and
Whereas, agricultural labor is sub
ject to peak seasonal employment,
and la to a considerable extent of
a transient nature, and for these
and other reasons can not be effici
ently organized for the welfare of
either the employer or the employe
and the attempt to so organize agri
cultural labor has already resulted
In severe loss to the farmers of the
Pacific coast through interference
with harvesting operations and the
transportation of produce to market
over public highways, and
Radlral Thrust Seen.
Whereas, many known professional
radical agitators have been engaged
In fomenting strikes, walkouts, etc..
accompanied by violence with the
professed object of producing chaotic
conditions and paralyzing industry In
accordance with the principles of the
Communist party, and
Whereas, the agricultural Interests
of California have found It necessary i
to organize and have so organized
themselves In each agricultural coun
ty of California under the name of
Associated Farmers of California, Inc.,
for the purpose of insisting upon and
protecting their undoubted legal right
to grow, harvest and transport their
crops without intefrence from or
ganized groups, and
Whereas, similar organizations nave
been formed In Oregon and Washing
ton for the same purpose. It la hereby
Aims Approved.
Besolved, that the Oregon State
Horticultural society at its annual
meeting In Modford. Ore.. December
3 end 3, 1937, approves the alms and
purposes of Associated Farmers. Inc.,
and declares that for the protection
