FRUIT GROWERS DISAGREE.
Central Selling Agency Plan Splits
Committee.

Wenatchee- That there is split in
the ranks of the fruitgrowers of the
Wenatchee valley was made apparent
when the report of the special COM
mittee of nine, appointed by the Fruit
growers association January 20 to
formulate plan for improving mar
ket methods, was made public. The
minority report of the committee rec
commended that the present association
be retained and that five-year mod
ification of the Clark plan be adopted.
The principal point Of difference
between the two reports is the reor-
ganization of the association in CEN
trail selling exchange, with local asso-
Citations for each district. This plan
was strongly endorsed by the MAORI
ty.
The two reports will be submitted
for final decision at meeting of the
association, which promises to be one
of the most important and sensational
ever held by the fruit growers of the
valley.

BILL IN NEW cuIsE.
su,zer is Now Author Of Apple Box
Regulation.

su'zer is Now Author Of Apple Box
Regulation.
Washington, D. Ca new apple
box bill, differing somewhat from the
Lafean bill, which was killed off in
the last congress, has made its appear
ance in the house of representatives
in somewhat new form and with a
different author. The new bill is pre-
sented by Representative Sulzer, OF
New York, and has been referred to
the committee on Interstate commerce
instead of to the committee on agri-
culture.
While the bill is different in it's
phraseology from the Lafean bill, it
is drafted to accomplish the same pur-
pose-to handicap Western apples in
Eastern markets, where they are now
commanding top-notch prices and
crowding out Eastern grown fruit OF
the same varieties.
It is too early in the session to de-
termine what fate awaits the Sllzer
bill, but the purpose in referring it
to the interstate commerce committee
was to, get favorable report. it hav-
ing been demonstrated that the COM
mittee on agriculture, after having
gone thoroughly into the subject, is
not favorable to such legislation.
Whether the interstate commerce
committee will report the bill remains
to be seen, for when the bill is called
up in committee an effort will be made
by Western members to prevent a
favorable report.
Hearings will be held by the house
interstate commerce committee March
Z, on the bill, which is very similar to
the Lafean bill of the last congress.
Representatives Hawley, Pray and
others from the Pacific Northwest will
oppose the bill and will secure hear
ings for all Northwestern apple grow
ers who wish to appear.

in pure bred poultry in Whitman
county than ever before and there are

Whitman County Poultry association,
said:
cit was but q few years ago when
one could visit the express Offices in
the chicken season and find dozens of
baskets Of eggs and coops of chickens
which had arrived from the East.
Today conditions are reversed and the
express Offices are filled with chickens
and eggs being sent east, west, north
and south for breeding purposes.
Whitman county now ranks high
among the counties of the United

Colombia Regulates Letter Of Minis
ter at Washington.
Bogota,. Colombia - General Pedro
Mel Ospina, Colombian minister to the
United States, was recalled by the
Colombian government.
The action of the Colombian govern
ment was taken because neither it nor
the Colombian people uphold the posi-
ton taken by the Colombian minister
at Washington in notifying the State
department that the proposed visit to
Colombia of Secretary Knox would be
inopportune because Colombia claims
in connection with Panama have not
been arbitrated.
The notification given by the Colon
bian government says that General
Ospina is separated from his post al
Washington, and that the incident be-
tween sColombia and the United States
is thus closed"
Colombia, it continues, will main
tain her international policy.

AImira Farmers Union Mould Handle
Grain in Bulk.
Almira-At q regular meeting Of
local No. 80 of the Farmers union the
following resolutions were adopted:
Whereas: Tie parties in control of
the grain sack trade have advanced
the price of sacks beyond q reasonable
amount; and
Whereas: The manufacture Of grain
sacks in this country is Improbable;
and
Whereas: Believing the use Of the
grain sack is needless expense borne
by the farmer in the interest Of q
foreign sack syndicate; and
Whereas: Many of our farmers are
prepared in the use of granaries to
handle their grain at profit in bulk.
Notwithstanding the dockage Of 8
cents per bushel for non use Of sacks /;
therefore be it
Resolved: That we advise the aban-
Comment Of the system of supplying
grain in the sack and advise the adop-
ton of the system of handling grain
in bulk; and be it further
Resolved: That we denonnce as
tyrannous, unjustifable, and without
one redeeming feature the system of
collecting the price of sacks upon
grain shipped in bulk; that we believe
it to be a practice adopted for the sole
purpose of perpetuating grain sack
slavery; and be it further
Resolved: That in the Tri-State
Warehouse company we see our only
means of escape from the above men
toned graft, and that this company
may become efficient as our agent in
relieving the farmers of this and other
grievances in the handling Of the 1912
crop we pledge it our utmost good will
and support; and be it further
Resolved: That as sacks will be
used more or less by the farmers fol
home convenience we urge our sena-
tors and representatives of the North.
west to use their utmost endeavors in
the repeal of the tariff on grain sacks.
