ASSOCIATION BUSY
Campaign Opened in Walla Walla
Valley Meeting with Splendid
Success and Encouragement

Following meetings held in Touchet
and Lowden committe of growers
have gone into the field soliciting con-
tracts from hay growers, assisted by
representatives of he organization.
In this valley more local support is
being given the association than in
almost any other district so far can
vassed. Every bank in the valley is
favorable to the movement and real
ICES that something must be done to
put the farmer on better business
basis.
Hay is now being marketed at $11
per ton loading point, which is gen.
orally recognized as considerably be-
low the cost of production.
At recent meeting of the Ellens-
burg Chamber of Commerce a splend-
id endorsement of the program of the
Northwest Hay Growers was given,
and signed report issued which will
be very helpful to the further pro-
gress of the organization campaign.
All over the hay district the business
men are beginning realize the value
and Importance Of this movement.
During the next few weeks the cam
paign will be continued in Walla Wal
la and Kittitas valleys, but particular
ly intensified in the Yakima valley
proper, where it is expected to be
pressed vigorously until the sign up
ia complete.
