A. Perham of Yakima, who ad dressed a conference group at the American Institute of Cooperation here Tuesday. "Many of our present difficulties," Mr, Perham stated, "have been In herited; others have been thrust upon us; and still others ws have gone out of our way to acquire. In the latter category U a good bit of false pride about our product and Individual businesses; a few chlselers; trade Jealousies; and marginal and sub marginal growers." Too Many Rules Of the Inherited problems, the speaker described that of overpro duction or underconsumption as the moat difficult. Of those which have been thrust upon It. the Industry suffers most from a multitude of Intolerable rules, regulations, laws, taxes, and exorbitant freight rates, be declared. - In the attack upon overproduction PLANT LICE When your plants have just been wat ered or are still wet with dew, sprinkle them with BUHACII sure dealb to In sect pea la. 80 save your cherished plants this easy way cannot injure the most delicate foliage or blossoms.

Mr. Perham noted the recent progress mada In advertising and sales promotion both through state sponsored and through Industry bureau merchandising cam palgna. Aa a further attack upon the problem he urged the removal, through government aid, of marginal and sub-marginal orchards. "There sema to be no argument against the .fundamental principles of advertising aa a means of Increas ing the usage of fruits. They are too deeply rooted In the Industry to argue against them. On the other hand, It la fallacious to believe that advertis ing can cure all the Ills of marketing. Lower Freight Needed "If the fruit Industry of the north west is to survive and show a normal production Increase," he further com mented, "a more favorable freight rate la Imperative. In the five years from 1031 to 1936 apple shipments from Washington declined by an average of 7,000 cars annually from the 1026-1930 figures. Unleaa there U a marked Improvement In returns to growers this trend must continue. "Another grievous problem that has been a millstone oh the apple and pear growers 1 the spray residue removal requirements of the food and drug administration. Although there Is not a single Instance of record of anyone being Injured by eating sprayed fruit, requests for the modi fication of tolerance regulations have, been consistently rejected. The stren uous wash necessary to remove the residue has cost the Industry a tre mendous sum and has detracted from the attractiveness of fhe fruit." Aa a means of solving the market ing problems, Mr. Perham recom mended the conduct of the Industry advertising program to net a cash register value to all handlers: brokers. Jobbers, and retailers. He further urged that the Industry seek: 1. National legislation to control Interstate shipments of offgrade fruit by rail or truck. 3, Rehabilitation of the marginal fruit grower Into some other lines of endeavor, 3. Freight rate adjustment equita ble to growers and carriers. 4, The perfecting of a national association with the objectives of coordinating sectional advertising n1 dealing with Industry problems national scope.

Hughes announced he waa going to fly the Atlantic. Why, was his business. A few years ago he was making hit movies. He abandoned Hollywood. That was his business, too. A year ago last January he streaked across the United States to set a speed record which has never been approached 7 hours. 38 minutes. Crawling from his ship, he was cour teous, tolerant, unlnformatlve. He merely wanted to do It If a man wanted to risk a neck valued at several millions, K was his affair. He Took It Up His few Intimates deny he Is a blue chip playboy. Whatever he Is, he does what pleases his fancy with a courage and energy which set him apart. "Better let someone else take that plane up." Dick Palmer, who built his "Hughes special" racer, advised the filer In 1036. "No," reaponded Hughes. "I had confidence enough In you to have you build It. I have enough confi dence that It will fly." He took It up on Its first test hop, and then smashed all long-distance speed records at an average pace of 332 miles an hour. Bit Oxygon Hose Temperamentally nervous, Hughes is stone-like In the cockpit of a rac ing airplane. On his transcontinental record flight, he almost lost con -sclousnesa at an altitude of 22,000 feet when a special oxygen face mask failed to function. He calmly bit In two the rubber hose leading to his oxygen tank and sucked on the gaa until his head was , clear. j On another occasion, when a severe downdraft dropped his plane dan gerously close to some mountain tops near Los Angeles, he maneuvered toward a lake to pick up smoother air. "Hope I didn't scare you." he remarked casually to a friend In the cnbln behind him. The Hughes fortune largely was due to his father's Invention of a rotary drill bit for sinking oil wells. The elder Hughes founded the Hughes Tool Co., In Houston, of which the son Is board chairman. Born rich, Hughes followed his fa ther's technical bent. At the age of 12 he had constructed hla own radio receiving set. The Hughes home made automobile was a common sight In Houston. At 15 he had taken his first flight. In his twen ties, he established himself as one of Hollywood's foremost movie pro ducers. He made money. Among his pic tures, "Hell's Angeles," "Scarface." and "The Front Page" helped make movie history. Keeps Full ! Like his father, Hughes la attract- ed by anything scientific. When he files, he works every minute. His "logs" are "vomplete." At the close of a flight he can rattle off his aver age fuel consumption, cylinder head temperatures, manifold pressures, the altitudes at which he navigated, his speed and even the temperature of he air outside the plane. For his current flight, he Installed every piece of scientific apparatus In his "Lockheed 14" transport that came to mind. Though danger means nothing to him until recently he held the world's landplane record of 352 mtles an hour over a measured course he Is loath to rlak the Uvea of others. President Roosevelt once told Hughes he would like to make a flight with htm. "Well," replied the young million aire, "If you do, Mr. President, It will be the most nervous flight I've ever taken." still a Bachelor Shy in the extreme, Hughes has made a speech only once In hla life, before the New York Advertising club. 'Speed la nothing of Itself." he said then. "It must be adapted to commercial use If attaining It Is to be worth while. He Urea simply but Indulges a roraclous appetite. He cares nothing for clothes, has often been seen with unpressed trousers. He ha been known to touch his Hps to one cock- all an entire evening and leaves the lass brimful. He dors not smoke. He plays golf In the low 70's. From time to time movie press amenta have tried to link Hughes' name with actresses, but he remain blissfully single and Indifferent to such publicity. Notice.
