VOL XXXV111 RIVER, OREGON, The ü. P. Stock Profits Special Striking and profitable lessons may be derived by the Hood River Valley fruit grower from the Union Pacific Stock Profits Special, which will call at Hood River from the hours of 9 to 12 a. m. next Monday. SEATTLE CONFERENCE NEXT £ Paciic Northwest Apple Shippers This train will be accompanied by specialists from the Oregon Agricultural College who will be fully prepared to show you how more profits can be made from a diversifica tion along dairying or hog raising lines. They will have concrete evidence to back up their talks and demonstrations. In view of the fact that we of Hood River have profited in no uncertain way from diversification in the past ten years, we would advise that all business folk and orchard- ists visit this train, as a matter of selfish interest. And, furthermore, our presence there will be heartening to the rail line officials and Agricultural College specialists, whose efforts are being expended to aid us in the solution of econ omic problems and to bring about a greater era of prosperity.

Members <if the growers’ organisation would agree to market their product only through shippers affiliated with the inter-district organisation of shippers. Indications tn various districts have been that shipping Interests are more keenly alert to the benefits that will accrue from aueb cooperation than the growers, themselves. At least the powers have displayed a greater ap athy. However, since tbe actual or ganisation of the growers’ body, and its functioning, deiiends on the pre liminary establishment of tbe shippers' body, those interested in forwarding the cooperative movement will watch anxiously to see what the final actlou at the Seattle conference will be. It is planned to hold tbe Beattie meeting on April 28. Hood River shippers who plan on attending the convention are: V. C. Follenlus, P. F. Clark, I. H. Cederwail, W. R. Woolpert, P. L. Tompkins, A.
