Fruit Industry
Endangered

Leaders identified with the fruit
industry in the northwest are very
much worried concerning the influ-
ence Of the war on the fruit industry.
There is possibility that the govern
ment may classify fruits as luxury
and not as staple food product. II
this is done it will mean that the
labor used in the production, hand
ling and harvesting of fruit, in the
warehouses, packing houses, cold
storage plants, etc., will be subject
to military conscription. Already the
supply of men for work in the or
chards is short. Also II the govern
ment should make this ruling 1t will
mean that 1t would be harder than
ever to get cars; that fruit men will
have to give way for other products
and stand and see their fruit spoil.
There is also the bare possibility that
zones may be established. This will
mean that the fruit produced in GER
tain districts can be shipped only to
certain zones. With the box fruit
trade of the Pacific coast this would
be working tremendous hardship
because our markets are widely scat
tered. 1t would force very large
tonnage Of fruit in regions where per-
haps it could not be consumed.
There is a possibility that the gov
ernment will fix minimum price for
farm products. If this is done II
should apply to fruits as well as to
other foods. II 1t does not the fruit
grower will have to pay the high
wages, taxes, etc., and has no assur-
ance that he will secure good mar
ket for his product, which would be
an unfair discrimination.
The Fruit Growers Agency, Inc,
of Walla Walla, Wash, which is the
agency established by the United
States Department of Agriculture, re-

kilograms were sent to all members

Land Opened When
Tax Lien Removed

The following letter relative to the
opening of the O. & G. grant lands
for settlement has been received by
the Roseburg land office:
"In reply will say that, as you can
well appreciate from your under
standing Of the case, it was imprac-
ticable to proceed further so far as
any positive action affecting titles
was concerned, until after the de-
cision of the supreme court a few
days ago. In the meantime, how
ever, all the preliminary work so far
as possible with respect to ascertain
ing the amount of taxes accumulated
on the lands, has been done. Sew
eral questions of law are involved in
this matter of tax payment, all of
which have been collated and submit
ted to the secretary of the interior
and to the department of justice for
disposition. Immediately these ques-
tions are out of the way, If deter
mined favorably to the immediate
payment Of taxes, we will be in a
position to certify to the amount and
correctness Of the taxes accumulated
on the great bulk of the lands, there
being comparatively small areas

Of Oregon, Washington, Montana and
Idaho. kilograms were also sent to
the International Apple Shippers AS
ISOLATION, Western Fruit Jobbers and
the California Fruit Exchange.
The members Of the agency realize
that II the fruit should be discrimi-
mated against 1t will simply mean
ruin to thousands Of people. Fruit is
a valuable food. Many people sim
ply look upon certain staples like
wheat and meat as necessary food,
and deprive their diet of the value of
fruits. But, on the other hand, thou
sands Of men and women have
dropped meat from their daily diet
and are beneficially using fruit and
nuts instead. Many others are in
cluding larger and larger proper
tion of fruits in their diet. Physicians
are encouraging the use of more
fruits They contain very valuable
acids, extracts and fibers and are rich
in sugars. Some Of the fruits are
very rich in oils.
Fruit and nut growers should
write at once to their representatives
and senators urging that no action
be taken which would jeopardize the
fruit and nut industries of the Pacific
coast, which is destined to become
one Of the greatest industries of the
entire United States-C. 1. Lewis,
