APPLE GROWERS
DISCUSS MARKET
Canyon County Fruit
Men Met Buyers
Tuesday

About fifty apple growers OF the
Caldwell vicinity met at the regular
weekly meeting at the Farm Bureau
Tuesday night and remained in ses-
sion until long after midnight.
Upon invitation by the Association,
representatives OF the various firms
and agents of firms were present to
state to the growers their plans and
prices for handling apples. Among
those present were: Federated Fruit
K Vegetable Growers, Inc, represent
ed by Mr.. Lyon, American Fruit
Growers Assn, represented by Mr..
w. w. Yost, Sewall & Company. rep
resented by Mr.. Sewall. Denny &
Company represented by Mr.. MacPest
and Cachrans Brokerage Co, repre-
sented by Mr. Galinsky. The Nampa
Equity Exchange had previously met
with the Association.
At the beginning OF the meeting
enthusiasm was running high on ac-
representatives of firms. both cooper
ative marketing Associations and cash
buyers. After the meeting was open
ed an invitation was extended to the
firms to lay their plans before the
growers. 1t soon developed that the
various representatives OF firms did
not look with favor upon discussing
their plans in the presence OF their
competitors A committee consisting
of Messrs, Grifiiths. Allison, Gipson
and O'Reilly, was appointed to hear
the offers of the various firms in pri-
vatc.
The result OF the conference may be
summed up as follows: One cash buy
er offered to pay as much and buy as
many apples as anyone present all
the other representatives made various
offers none of which were accepted by
the committee or the growers. The
main thing that was brought out IN
the conferences with the cash buyers
was that no one would buy the apples
but any OF them would offer to sell
them to the best advantage
After the reports of the committee
were heard by the growers II was
moved by Mr. Grifiiths, seconded by
Mr.. Gipson that the members OF the
Association who have not previously
contracted for the sale OF their pro-
duce, offer their apples at so per ton
in bulk and SIPS in baskets. The
motion was unanimously carried
everyone voting. This action OF this
Association in direct line and harmony
with the action taken by the Paye''e
growers on Monday night.

OREGON SCHOOL
LAW IN COURT
Constitutionality of Act
will be tested at
Washington

Washington-.Nationai Capital edu-
Gators are intensely interested in the
legal test to be made OF the Oregon
school law. Suit for a test OF the
constitutionality OF the bill, which be-
came law at the general election last
November. has been filed in United
States District Court by a Cathoiic
Society.
Adopted after Il bitter fight in the
last Oregon election this law makes
il compulsory for all children below
high school age to attend the public
schools 1t has been generally re-
gardcd as an effort to drive private
schools out of business, and Catholics
have looked upon it as aimed especial
ly at their institutions.
Proponents OF the law, which in
cluded a heavy majority OF the citi-
zens OF Oregon maintain that as the
institutions OF the state are the pro-
duct of. and live or die by the charac-
ter OF its citizens, the state has right
to say how and by whom its future
citizens are to be trained. Opponents
of the law see in it an invasion of the
rights OF the individual to train his
child as he pleases
II is noted that the law does not, as
has been claimed. drive out the private
school. since private instruction is per-
mitted children who are taught the
same subjects for the same period of
time. as are taught in the public
schools.
The ties, OF the constitutionality OF
the law has been looked for ever since
its enactment, and the results OF the
court action will be most carefully
considered by educators and legisla-
tors in other states. who are only
awaiting a definite pronouncement on
the Oregon law before initiating SINH
lar legislation in their own jurisdic-
tons.
