A PLAN PROPOSED TO
MARKET FRUIT
BITTER ROOT MAY COOPERATE
WITH OTHER NORTHWEST. a, s:li,
..s
ERN VALLEYS.

n. C. Lindsay of the Hamilton
Nursery company, since returning
from the National Apple show, is do
ing missionary work among Bitter
Root fruitgrowers with view to en-
listing them in the movement inau-
gurated at the Spokane show to secure
better prices.
Mr.. Lindsay has given this market
ing problem much study during the
past two years and in the course OF
a $500 mile trip about the country
and to Europe investigated the matter
from every point of view.
Chief among the evils that he points
out are the tendency of the different
fruitgrowing sections to glut the
markets and in various ways to play
into the hands of the commission men,
most of whom are afflicted with the
get-rich-quick itch.
Profiting by the experience and fol-
lowing the example of the fruit as
sociations of California, in the orange
districts, the apple growers at Spo-
kane came to the conclusion that the
wise thing to do would be to eliminate
the middleman, substituting their own
agents in the large cities, and pre-
vent market gluts by cooperation. In
short, the plan is to form central
association, which will represent the
local associations throughout the
northwestern apple growers trust,
as it were.
Mr.. Lindsay heartily approves the
plan and suggests that a meeting of
Bitter Root fruitgrowers be held in
the near future to consider the matter,
Already the growers of Oregon,
Washington and Idaho are acting
along this line. A recent issue of the
SpokesmanReview has the following
in this connection
s Every apple-growing district in the
great northwest is represented on the
committee appointed Friday to devise
a plan for the cooperative marketing
of the output of all the orchards of
this district. The committee was
named in conjunction with the confer
ence of growers held at the apple
show by Chairman w. N. Irish of
North Yakima.
These men probably will meet at the
session of the Washington State Hor-
ticultural society at Prosser in jan
uary and expect to formulate a plan
for handling the 1911 crop which can
be put into immediate operation.

TETON STAKE CONFERENCE.

The Teton stake quarterly confer
ence convened at briggs. Idaho. Feb.
5 and 6. and was considered to be one
of the best conferences yet held in
Teton valley. While the people were
not favored with 4 visit of any of the
Church authorities. they were COM
pensated by the spirited talks and
lively interest taken by local speakers,
There was n large attendance from
the opening to the closing session Sun
day evening. when the Mutual Inn
provement associations rendered an
interesting program. There were some
excellent discourses delivered by the
local elders full of the spirit and testi-
mony The divine authenticity of the
Book of Mormon was one of the prin-
cipal themes dwelt upon, and its pre-
dictions fulfilled and yet to be full
filled: the gifts of the spirit and the
vicarious work for the dead were top
les that were impressively dwelt upon.
The Clowson ward reported by Bishop
Fullmer. showed the advantages in
having a community farm for raising
crops to aid in the missionary work,
and they had raised over 500 bushels
of grain for that purpose last season.
Many very strong testimonies were
given of miraculous spiritual gifts and
of the divinity of the work The out
pouring of the spirit was manifest
during the whole conference, and all
seemed to enjoy the spiritual feast
At the Mutual part of the confer
ence there were some interesting and
spirited talks on different topics.
Walter H. Durant treated the subject.

INFORMATION.
The last two questions which appear
on the list given three weeks ago are;
What shall be done with an imperfect
record7 And. what may a man do who
has finished up his own record, as fur
as he knows?
The records prepared in the early
days OF temple work are not In so
perfect condition as the modern. The
methods which first existed We're more
or less confusing 1t is the same with
recording as with everything else con-
nected with temple work; there Is
steady process OF evolution going on
In everything in the matter of record
keeping as we'll as in all things; and
the man or woman who Will not be
willing to keep up with the improve
ments will certainly be sorry; or his
children will be sorry after him, To
particulariZe: it was the CUSTOM in
the old days, to write the names OF
men all together in one place. or page.
and the names of women In another
place. This was found later to be eN-
tremely awkward. so the next step was
to place the husbands and wives to-
gether, and put a distinguishing mark
against Them to show where their chill
dren could be found In the back pages
OF the book There are some who per-
sist in keeping to this antiquated and
laboriouS method But IL anyone has
such Il record and wishes TO put it I'm
