T. j. Jasper of Weiser, thought that
prices had not been as high as they
should have been in the past but found
no fault with the service given him by
the commission men. NH. Detchon
was asked If there was any truth in
the report that the speculative buyer
is paid higher price for his livestock
than the individual shipper. There is
no truth in such report was the reply.
Mr.. Scholtz said that he expects to
see the time when we will have state
owned packing plants and made u
well-worded speech in favor of soma
method of having the Idaho livestock
handled by home plants. Henry w.
Dorman, of Caldwell, arose to say that
the time of the convention was being
wasted when it might better be taken
up with discussions of how to raise
better stun.
Nearly everybody wanted the floor TO
reply to Mr. Dorman, but Mr.. Scholtz
overruled them all and replied by Civ
ing illustrations of how the producers
had not received what their produce
was worth in the past and said that
the primary purpose of the convention
was to discuss marketing subjects. Mr..
Scholtz asked for a vote on the sub
ject OF continuing the subject AMI ask :
ed all who thought their time was be-
ing wasted should rise. Mr.. Dorman
rose. Mr.. Scholtz asked Mr.. Dorman
If his principal business is not the cat
tie loan business, which he denied
Some heated discussion could not be
suppressed after the Dorman episode
and the manager of the Caldwell co.
operative creamery asked that Mr.
Dorman's sentiments should not be
considered as representative of the
sentiment of his section of the state.
Federal Officers Here.
AT the request of numerous grow
ers, shippers and business men of the
Pacific northwest, c. E. Bassett, c.
w. Moomaw and w. H. Kerr, represen-
tatives of the office of markets of the
United States department of agricul-
ture were detailed to make a survey Of
the conditions surrounding the market
ing of the fruit products of the states
of Oregon, Washington, Idaho and
Montana. This was done during De-
cember and January with the view of
making suggestions for changes which
wouli secure more equitable distri-
button and economical marketing of
these crops. They interviewed as many
growers as time would permit, the
principal shippers, bankers, merchants
and others, securing from them all the
information possible relative to the
entire situation and such suggestions
as they desired to make relative to
improvements.
The representatives of the office
then proceeded to draw UP a plan
which would include the best ideas of
all the parties interviewed, together
with their own ideas, that were sup
ported by the experience along similar
lines of marketing work in various
parts of the country. In order that the
office might be assured that such q
plan would he acceptable to the ship
ping agencies of the northwest, IL was
thought well to cali these agencies
into an executive conference, at which
time the tentative Iians were ex-
planned in detail. This conference was
attended at Spokane. by II of the lead
ing marketing agencies in the four
states and canvass of those present
showed that they presented over rs
per cent of the boxed apple shipments
of the Pacific northwest during the
past year. After a full days DELHI
Grafton and very full discussion IF
each of the activities proposed, the
representatives of the shipping agen-
cies present unanimously and very
enthusiastically expressed themselves
as being in full sympathy with the en-
tire tentative plan and their desire to
do all in their power to put the plan
into operation during 1916, provided it
secured the approval of the federal
authorities. While II Is evident that
practically all of the shipping agencies
are willing to undertake the work of
adopting this plan. it must be clearly
understood that its success depends
upon the order of the grower who has
the power to control his shipping agent
through the giving or withholding of
his tonnage. 1t is therefore believed
that the formation of an association
must start from the growers and 1t
seems best in making this start to pro-
vide for uniform contract between
the growers and selling agencies of the
fruit and produce of the Pacific North
west whereby the growers demand
that certain activities and improve
ments be undertaken by those who at
tempt to distribute and market their
products 1t is therefore the intention
of the office to offer for adoption by
the growers and shippers, the follow
ing provisions as q part of all selling
contracts:
Conditions Of Contract.
THE following provisions must be
made part of all selling contracts and
nothing can be included in the contract
which will in any way contradict or
nullify the carrying out of the pro-
visions as enumerated hereafter. The
provisions should be placed In the
contract in mandatory form.
81. 1t shall be provided that each
grower shall have the exclusive right
and authority to fix the price at which
