sTATEwrpE FARMERS CONFER.

! Telegraphic assurances have Just
been received BY The state Depart
ment Of Farm Markets that repreent-
atives Of the Government office Of
markets and the Federal Trade Com
mission are on their way to Boise
to attend the State Wide Farmers
Conference which viii convene in the
hall Of representatives Of the state
capitol next Monday for three days
session.
Upon the request OF fruit growers,
shippers and business men OF the
large large fruit districts Of the Pa
cific Northwest these Government re-
personalities visited the principal
fruit sections a month ago to investi-
gate matters. after which they offici-
ally called the principal shippers to-
gcther in conference the middle OF
January. AT this confidential con-
ference the government officials pre-
scented tentative apple marketing
plan, which received the unanimous
endorsement OF all interests attend
ing the conference, between eighty
and ninety per cent OF the total tom
age Of the Petite orthwest being rep
resented at the meeting.
This proposed plan for handling
hte apple marketing situation in CO.
operation with the government along
broader and different lines than
ever before attempted was found to
be so drastic or radical that 1T was
considered NECESSARY TO take 1t back
to Washington, for consideration OF
the Department OF Justice before at
tempting to start 1t in operation, as
II was felt 1t would probably conflict
with the Sherman antitrust law.
The legal difficulties have appar-
emily however all been Strengthened
out now, as the authorities at Wash
ingon have wired the State Farm
Markets Department that the Off
cials are on their way to Boise to
make the first public presentation of
the plan 10 the growers In the north
west. after which they will proceed
to Oregon and Washington to hold
similar meetings.
In view OF the chaotic situation ex-
listing at present in the marketing OF
apples in the Pacific Northwest, and
the serious outlook FOR the coming
season unless all interests can unite
on a plan, this proposal by the feder-
al authorities is timely and of such
vital interest to all growers that
large attendance from Meridian and
all fruit districts of the state espec-
tally Is anticipated.
One and one third fare on all rail
roads to the meeting.
