SATURDAYS MEETING

In the Hood River of few years
ago, whenever a meeting was called,
one might very well be sure that it was
for the purpose of discussing problems
of apple culture. The orcnardists CON
yened and talked about methods for
producing a more perfect apple, or how
to pack that apple after it was grown.
And Hood River became known as the
foremost apple growing section of the
world. News of the Hood River sue.
cess spread, and the system of local
growers was studied by those of other
districts. The northwestern fruit in.
dustry became the most talked of in
dustry of the northwest. 1t was the
theme for much publicity, and large
portions Of commercial club and cham
ber of commerce pamphlets were de
voted to apples
But it is easier to produce a perfect
product than it is to market it, and at
ter all these orchards came into bear
Ing, we notice that the discussions of
the meetings took a different trend.
The great absorbing topic was mar
keting. How can we sell our fruit
pgoftably?" was the cry Of the grover.
The Seattle meeting last Friday and
Saturday bears witness to the fact that
this marketing problem has by no
means been settled.
However here in Hood River we find
a new interest awakened among fruit
growers. 1t has been evidenced now
for the past three years. The CONNER
cial club encouraged it in the year 1912,
when X. +, Scott, at that time secre-
tary, called several meetings for the
purpose of encouraging a limited diver
sihed farming. And today large per
centage Of the public gatherings of
Hood River valley are for the purpose
Of considering the gentle COW and lowlv
hog. And without much talking many
OF the valley orchardists have quietly
begun to add diversified farming to
their list of activities.
Saturdays meeting should be a pro.
ftable one. The value of it will not
be alone in what may be learned about
the care of COW or hog, but after
the creamery report is made and after |
some of the speakers have finished their
addresses. we thinksmany of the grow

DESERT SIGNPOSTS.
Rude Rock Heaps by Which Indians
Located Running Water.


In travelling over the plains of west
ern Texas, writes a contributor. have
now and then come on two little isO-
lated heaps Of rock that at first glance
seemed not at all remarkable After
time, noticed that one heap was
generally about three feet high. and
the other about a foot lower The two
were always within few feet of each
other. and usually on an elevation or
plateau that had view Of the country
for five miles or more,
The rocks were roughly heaped TO-
gether, as II left by children at play
| sometimes wondered If they could
be the ruins of an ancient stone build
ing; but that was improbable, for there
was scarcely another stone in sight
Years later ! learned the actual
significance Of these rock heaps from
an old Indian whose mind was stored
with all the legends and customs and
deeds Of his people. According to him,
when the Great Spirit tapped up the
mighty rivers of the plains, he left
springs and water basins here and
there for the antelope and the Indian
These the antelope easily found by
scent, but the Indian had to search
long and anXiOusly for them. Once

to these rude rock heaps.

behind the taller heap, sight over the
low one, and mark the farthest OBJ

case was clump of bushes on the
horizon We rode toward these bushes
and found-not water, rs | had ex-
pected, but two other heaps of rocks.
Sighting as before, and taking a rock
faced cliff toward the southwest as a
goal. we rode two miles farther, and
there, trickling out from beneath the
cliffs rocky brow, was a spring Of
fresh. clear water.
The old Indian said that whenever a
band Of Indians came upon a new
spring, they built these rock heaps
along their trail; since then | have fol

signp0sts, and found them to lead

Cheer up, springtime is but a few
weeks away. Prepare to put away
your winter heavy coats and to cast
into the dump heap any gloomy frame
of mind you may have been wearing.
Get ready rosy thoughts to go with
your spring suit and straw hat. Bril-
liant days are ahead for Hood River.
Pick and shovel will soon be welded
swiftly to open up the last lap of the
Columbia highway. This thoroughfare
is one of the most talked of road in the
Pacific coast states now. Just wait
until 1t is completed and those hun
dreds of thousands of visitors at the
P.-P.-I.-E. at San Francisco see that
panorama painting. A few of them at
least, will come our way. Cheer up.
The robins are already here looking
for nesting places.

THE BOARD OF CONTROL

The meeting Of the tTult growers al
Seattle resulted 10 taking the pTelimin-
ary steps TO establish board Of con
uol over the selling agencies. We be-
lieye the plan will solve many Of the
problems that have brought disaster to
the apple growers this year. provided
it IS worked out on practical basis,
hat each district receives fair treat
ment that the board selected is cOmpe-
tent and honest and that the selling
agencies fully cooperate with the gov
erning body. This idea is practically
the same that was first suggested for
Hood River in 1912, but which was
abandoned and combination Of the
four Hood River selling agencies en-
tered INTO instead. After trial Of two
years, Hood River is as badly split up
as before, with the prospect of still
further breach the coming year unless
conditions are changed.
Experience this year has demOnstrat-
ed that the small shipper has small
chance to dispose Of his product when
markets are glutted, the consignment
to the various commission houses both
uncertain and unsatisfactory. If he
goes to market with few cars of APP
pies, he finds the whole trade arrayed
against him, like a pack Of hungry
wolves yelping at the heels of the
lonely wayfare caught unprotected and
unable to reach shelter 1t must be
remembered that the object of the |
buyer is to break the market and start |
a stampede that may enable him to
profit by the slaughter. His only show
to accomplish this end is to starve out
the small shipper who is on the market
and must take what he can get. The
low price once established pulls down
the market.
II is hoped and expected that the
new advisory board to be established
will be in position to determine, un-
der the law of supply and demand,
what price the consumer is willing and
able to pay, and at the best price that
will enable the sellers to make com
plete clean up of their stocks. 1t will
discourage the high toned grocery from
asking SO for a few of the top brand,
while the more common store around
the corner is putting on bargain sale
at a dollar under what the trade is /.
able and willing to pay.
Under the plan contemplated at the
Seattle meeting, the benefits of the
new advisory board will be open alike
to the large and small shipper who will ,
conform to its requirements. 1t will
not attempt to dictate what agency OF :
concern the grower ships with, This, ,
then. to get cornplete harmony, requires 4,
that each apple growing district organ.
Ize an advisory board of its own, or
reach some understanding that will re- -,
suit in a uniform selling price for the
apples Of that district, no matter by ,
whom shipped. This was the first plan :
after the disastrous year Of 1912, but
was abandoned for the plan Of getting
all growers to unite with one selling
agency, which has proven failure. 1t
is admitted that the present plan of
apples is a failure. Let us
now organize and try the new plan.
