going to urge and recommend to
the legislators that the extension to
the land settlement project in this
valley be granted, increasing the

der settlement, have appointed a
committee to meet the colonel next
Tuesday at Beverly on his way
East, and they will be accompanied
by the White Bluffs Band, which

SOLDIER SETTLERS
WANT COOPERATION

U
The Land Settlers Association.
whose membership is made up of
soldier settlers on the state project
in this valley are planning their
crops for the coming season. Some
of them, Roy C. Robinson in par
ticular. have had expert experience
in the production of vegetables on
a commercial scale. and they be.
lieve that with the early season
that prevails here. they can make
these crops pay the grower nice
return. They want to go at the
job Systematically, selecting those
vegetables that experience has
shown to produce well in this val
ley, and setting out enough acre.
age that the shipments will come
on in carload or partial carload
lots. so as to get away from the
high express rates.
| The acreage of the different
crops selected is also to be divided
up among the growers so that in
the event anything happened to
any of the crops, or the market,
the grower would have the other
crops to fall back upon. In other
words. they do not want any of
the growers to put all of their
eggs into one basket.
The soldier settlers do not be-
lieve they will have enough of
their own number this year to fur
nish the required acreage. partic-
ularly as theirs is all new land,
and they would like to have the
other farmers here to cooperate
with them. A committee from the
land settlers association will pre-
sent the matter to the community
club meeting next Tuesday even
ing, and they also want to take it
up with the Farm Bureau and the
Grange with the idea of making
the undertaking community
affair.
Using the earlness of the season
here as the basis for his conclu-
sions, Roy c. Robinson. who came
here last summer from Walla Wal
la to take up one of the state
tracts, says he believes that if they
go at it in a practical and scientific
way, the farmers in this valley can
secure better and more permanent
returns by the growing of vegeta-
bles than by any other crop pro-
duced.
The proposition sounds reason
able and merits the consideration
| of all the farmers in the valley.

tiers on January list. 1t is the
Federated Fruit & Vegetable
Growers Inc. The new marketing
agency is entirely grower-owned
and controlled and will sell all
kinds of fruit and vegetables for
local cooperative marketing asso.
Citations.
The organization has pur-
chased the assets and contracts
of the North American Fruit cS-
change, which has been market
ing cooperative association pro-
ducts for the last II years. A.
r. Rule, manager of the North
American Fruit Exchange, is re-
tanned as manager for the Fede-
rated organization.

intended to be mainly by associ-
alton or exchanges, according to
10. f. Bradfute, newly elected
president of the American Farm
Bureau Federation. Only coope-
rative associations will be ad.
lnitted. Large individual grow
ers, who ship in carlots and who
are not SO located they can con-
veniently work through an asso-
citation, may join the federated
directly and market through it
but will have no vote. Only asso.
Citations may vote.
The federated will be primarily
a carlot distribution organization
and can not handle the product
of small isolated growers unless
organized so they can properly
standardize their products and
ship in full car lots.
