proven even in a limited way that it 

 can be depended upon as a control 

 measure. 



"My reason for bringing this to your 

 attention is that it might arouse some 

 other locality or district which has a 

 few of the leaf roller present, but not 

 a sufficient number to cause a great 

 amount of damage, and impress upon 

 their minds that it does not behoove 

 them to take a chance with these "fel- 

 lows," as they will not only de-foliate 

 the trees but also eradicate the crop 

 when thev become numerous enough." 



Growers Select Trade Name 



The Oregon Growers' Cooperative 

 Association has selected its trade names. 

 The principal name to be used is Mist- 

 land. A second name which will be 

 usel on some of its products, especially 

 on dried and canned goods, is Fiiiand, 

 and a third name that will be used is 

 Truwest. These names are now being 

 registered. California has capitalized 

 the sun. Northwestern fruits are of 

 superior quality due to a happy combi- 

 nation of soil and climate. In every 

 valley of Oregon especially in the spring 

 and fall thin veils and banks of fog and 

 mist drift down against the hills. It 

 is a scene that every Oregonian is fa- 

 miliar with. Oregonians are often 

 afraid to mention the fact that we have 

 a little rain and mist occasionally. This 

 mist however, is one of the greatest 

 assets of the country west of the Cac- 

 cades and contributes to its richness, 

 its great output, and the high quality 

 of its fruits. Hence Mistland seems to 

 be a very appropriate name. 



Drying Saves Cherries. 

 Within twenty-four hours after the 

 rain stopped on the morning of July 

 14th, cracked cherries were being pit- 

 ted and dried by the Oregon Growers' 

 Cooperative Association at the rate of 

 ten tons a day. A cherry pitter was in- 

 stalled at the dryer of Geo. W. Weeks, 

 two and one half miles north of Salem, 

 and operations started. A day later the 

 dryer of F. E. Evans was also in oper- 

 ation to handle the overflow. Cracked 

 cherries have been hauled from all 

 parts of the Salem district as well as 

 from Amity. At least 100 tons will pro- 

 bably be saved from total loss by pit- 

 ting and drying them. 



To Direct Sutherlin Plant. 

 J. O. Holt has secured Loyal V. 

 Emery of Sutherlin to take charge of 

 the new plant which the Oregon Grow- 

 ers' Association recently purchased 

 from the Sutherlin Fruit Products 

 Company. Mr. Emery is well and fa- 

 vorably known in the Umpqua Valley 

 and is one of the largest prune pro- 

 ducers in that section of the state. 



Has Thirteen Hundred Members. 



The Oregon Growers' Cooperative 

 Association, which now has 1,300 mem- 

 bers, with an acreage of 26,000 acres in 

 fruit, is making arrangements to an- 

 nounce to growers how the fruit will 

 be pooled and what the prices of the 

 fruit will probably be.
