There is law on the books pro-

who turn them at large when afflicted
with sickness. and in future those
who adopt this policy of getting out

common practice in the past, accord

be taken to do away with it in the FIJI

Birth of Northwestern Exchange Means
End of Holdups-H
in Portland.

II is believed that the organization
of the Northwestern Fruit Exchange s+
Seattle last week marks the beginning
of the end of noldups'' fruit growers
have suffered at the hands of certain
buyers and middlemen for years.
The purpose of the organization is
the coordination of the fruit growing
interests of Oregon, Washington, Idaho
and Montana and the centralizing of
the handling and marketing of fruit
grown in the northwest through one
channel.
r. H. Parsons of the Hillcrest Or
chards company of Medford, Ore, was
elected president; M. Koran, president
of the Central Washington Develop
ment League, was elected to the vice
presidency; w. N. Crish, president of
the Yakima County Horticultural
union, second vice PRESIDENT; C. r.
Dorland, secretary; w. F. Gwynn,
treasurer and general manager.
The headquarters of the new organ
ization will be in Portland. The ex-
change will undertake the marketing
of the fruits controlled by a number
of cooperative growers associations
in the northwest. 1t is expected that
this scheme will ''eliminate the
wasteful and costly competition and
at the same time make for a more
comprehensive market. 1t is pro-
posed to maintain a number of branch
sale offices at every market center of
the United States. Promoters of the
association likewise have formulated
plans for the establishment of trade
relations with European markets.
