a way that the consumers will become 

 familiar with Oregon. Whatever our 

 sales word may be, we will have writ- 

 ten on all our advertisements the word 

 "Oregon" in a very conspicuous man- 

 ner. There is no state in the Union that 

 can sui-pass Oi-egon in the ([uality of its 

 hoiticiillural products. One of our func- 

 tions will he to educate the consumer so 

 that they will recognize this fact. 



In closing I wish to say a few words 

 on the financial end of our organization. 

 This is the end that especially apjiealed 

 to me when [ first heard of the i)ro- 

 Iiosed plan. It has attracted the atten- 

 tion and support of our leading bankers. 

 We have, first, the Oregon Growers' 

 Coiiperative Association, which is the 

 selling organization. We have the Ore- 

 gon Growers' Packing Corporation, 

 which packs our fruit, both organiza- 

 tions operating at cost. The need of 

 the two organizations is, namely, that 

 we cannot issue to ourselves warehouse 

 receipts, but that the association can 

 turn over the fruit to the corporation 

 to be packed, can immediately secure 

 from the corporation a warehouse re- 

 ceipt which can be cashed, and this 

 money can be used to finance the grow- 

 ers. Thus the grower will receive up 

 to 90 per cent of the value of his fruit 

 at delivery. The same officers and the 

 same directors hold forth in both or- 

 ganizations, are fruit growers, and are 

 elected by the stockholders. To build 

 our buildings we have both common 

 and preferred stock. The common 

 stock is issued to growers on the basis 

 of ten dollars an acre, which is paid in 

 two five-dollar notes, one due Decem- 

 ber, 1920, and the other December, 192f. 

 The payment for these notes is taken 

 out of the sale of the crops. In ex- 

 change for these notes the grower is 

 given a ten-dollar share of common 

 stock. In addition to the common stock 

 we can issue preferred stock up to the 

 same amount as the common stock. 

 This can be held by anybody, but will 

 be retired one-fifth annually. The 

 money from the common and preferred 

 stock will be used to finance our build- 

 ings, put up our community packing, 

 plants and so forth. The preferred 

 stock can easily be retired from pack- 

 ing profits. For example, the Salem 

 Fruit Union last year handled 4,000,000 

 pounds of prunes, making •f26,000 in 

 packing profits. This organization did 

 over a million dollars worth of business 

 last year at a cost of $16,000, or Viw%. 

 That the organization was needed is 

 shown by the way growers are respond- 

 in.g. Despite the fact that we started in 

 July, during the cherry and berry har- 

 vests, that we have had to encounter the 

 grain harvest and vacation period, we 

 bave nevertheless signed up over 10,000 

 acres and have 20,000 in sight. It now 

 looks as though the association would 

 do over $5,000,000 worth of business 

 during the first year, will control over 

 70% of the fresh fruit tonnage of West- 

 ern Oregon, more than half of the 

 prunes, nearly all the walnuts and a 

 large percentage of the products for 

 canning, such as cherries, berries and 

 pears. Truly a remarkable record to 

 attain in so short a time.
