The conference had opportunity
check up the financial statement
; the Idaho-Oregon Egg Producers
Id now in operation in Caldwell
Id find that the organization is
,erating along very efficient finan-
al lines. Their operations to date,
rs produced an accumulation in
nd reserve and there is every in
cation that the Idaho-Oregon Egg
roducers are on a sound financial
isis. The organization thus far
rived the people of western central
aho. When the sign up for south
stern Idaho is completed, station
III be opened in Pocatello. 1t is
pected that this necessary $4,000
ms yet lacking to justify the open
g of the station, will be signed up
a very few days.
