The group spent about four hours louring the Eugene civic center and meet ing with various city and county officials before returning to Medford about 3 p.m. (Knackstedt photo). Reports from the Hood Riv er area, where an excellent crop was predicted early in the season, reveal consider able drop of pears and a 75 per cent crop is now expect ed, Cordy added. Definite plans for consnli dating efforts here to process the fruit in the most econom ical manner while still pro viding work for regular em ployees of the fruit industry are progressing, Shelby Tut tle, official of the Fruit Growers league, reported. The League members have found in early planning that the problem which always arises in the case of consoli dation is present in the fruit processing picture. This is how to use the same help while consolidating the efforts of the various fruit packing firms. One Solution Storing of a large portion of the Bartlett crop has been proposed as a solution to some of this problem. If Bart letts for packing arc stored until the Anjous are ready for packing the crews will oe moving a larger quantity of fruit and a larger crew can be maintained, Tuttle explain ed. A similar problem was i-ic-ed by industry members in 1954 when the crop was re duced 50 per cent by frost. Two shifts were operated at that time to give work to more people.

KML TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, installing the huge concrete slabs which will form tile building's office, had two of the 20 ton capacity cranes operating in uni son to lift the slabs. The crane's boom had to be cut off and is now at a local steel com pany being repaired. No workers were in jured, company officials said. This year, however, Tuttle noted, the industry is view ing a one-third crop instead of half a crop and will be lucky to realize the third. This increases the seriousness of the problem. All members of the fruit industry seem agreed thai the fairest thing to do is to dis tribute the work as broadly as possible.
