Payette enterprise. (Payette, Canyon Co., Idaho) 1909-1935, 1914-12-10

and other products as are not now
: ing sold at a profit in the differen
districts.
In undertaking this responsibility
the committee wishes to express i
self as being unalterably opposed t
the sale of stock in canneries, eva
porators or other by-products plant
by promoters. The committee take
this position because it is it's obser
yation that such outsiders come in
to the districts with no other object
in view than to make profit G.
from 20 to 30 percent out of the sal
of the stock and who have no inter-
est in the ultimate success of the
corporation itself. Unless these out
siders are successful by product
manufacturers wishing to expand
their present business, they will al
ways be called upon to meet all OF
the difficulties that will have to bs
encountered by strictly local CO.
operative association and will have
none of the strength or ability to
find themselves that will be possess
ed by such associations.
1t is our recommendation that all
local organizations perfected in the
different districts for the purpose CT
using the fruits, berries and vege-
tables shall be upon purely cooper
ative basis. This committee express
es it's willingness to go into any
district and to assist in the bringing
about of such am organization upon
condition that the existing fresh
fruit organizations in that district
will get together and will assume tn
responsibility Of taking a position Of
leadership in raising the necessary
preliminary cash capital and in sign
ing up the tonnage required to oper-
ate such plant for a reasonable per
lod of time. 1t is our judgment that
such preliminary capital should be
secured by the placing of Ger r,ifica es
of Indebtedness, preferred stock or
bonds among the existing selling or
ganizations, among the larger grow
ers and among the business men of
the various communities.
1t is our judgment that such or
ganizations should, however, te
fundamentally based upon the pro-
ducts, that are to be turned into
monsv by the orgaAization of such
plants. The certificates issued fer
the purpose of 81 {curing the initial
capital necessary to install ma hiaer
and to furnish an operating basis
shall be made redeemable frcm the
net earnings of the plant, r certain
specified percentage of redemption.
The .eontracts for the fruit from the
ap6wers shall be upon basis of an
absolutely cooperative return, with
a full return and all profits from the
manufacture of the products to go to
the growers themselves, af.er ded ct
ing such percentage as shfI be a2re
ed to refund the advances that have
been made for the purpose of fur
nishing the original operating capital
The purpose of this method of f.
is to ultimately make a CO.
operative association with the grow
ers the full owners of the property |
and the business, subject only to
such certificates as they shall hold |
themselves for their funds that may |
have been diverted to pay off ori-
ginal advances.
We believe that under such bash
of organization, with the cooperation
of all the interests in each communi-
ty, that successful by-product pplants
can be developed in every district
In the Northwest. We are certain
that this is true, provided each COM
munity does not attempt to advance
too rapidly but is satisfied to gradu-
ally develop it's by-products industry
in such way as to be certain at
all times of it's markets. This is CT
course proceeding upon the theory
that a cooperative association OF
such plants can be formed that Will
produce standard product of high
degree of excellence and that unit
ed marketing can be brought about
that will help to move the product !
of all plants.
For the purpose of working out |
the details of these plants, the by
products committee is willing to
meet with the growers of the differ
ent districts. Upon request, support
ed by evidence of conditions that
will make such work promise to be
successful, the committee will furnisl
an expert to any district to make a
survey of such district and to pre-
pare report setting forth the type
of cannery that such district
should have and the products that 1t
