The Value of a Cannery Pay Roll 



It Is stated that the pay roll of the 

 Northern Pacific car shops in the city 

 of Taconia during the biggest month in 

 1914 was .f68,000. The Puyallup-Sumner 

 cannery, under the management of Mr. 

 W. H. Paulhamus, had a pay roll of 

 $238,000 during the biggest month of 

 the season of 1914. Every fruit district 

 ought to have a cannery. The pay roll 

 would be a big factor in the prosperity 

 of every fruit growing community. It 

 would help all kinds of business and 

 afford employment for many people, 

 giving them an opportunity to earn 

 extra money during the canning season. 

 Every fruit growing section ought to 

 have a cannery, evaporator, vinegar 

 plant or cider mill. Some fruit sections 

 ought to have all of these, and our com- 

 ment is that it is loo bad that each dis- 

 trict in addition cannot have Paulhamus 

 to manage its cannery. 



Adopts New Organization Plan 



At the annual meeting of the Wenatchee 

 Valley Fruit Growers' Association, after 

 the Seattle Convention, the plan of the 

 Fruit Growers' Council as originally 

 outlined at Seattle was presented to the 

 meeting and was received with such 

 satisfaction that it was endorsed by this 

 association. This speaks well for the 

 new movement. If the Wenatchee Val- 

 ley Fruit Growers' Association was so 

 well satisfied with the Seattle plan as to 

 adopt it they will be much better satis- 

 fied with the Taconia plan, which with- 

 out question means its adoption by this 

 association. 



The Western Fruit Jobbers 



The eleventh annual convention of 

 the Western Fruit Jobbers, held in Los 

 Angeles the third week in February, 

 was the most successful and the largest 

 meeting ever held by this organization. 

 Memphis, Tennessee, was selected as 

 the next convention city. The enter- 

 tainment committee of Los Angeles 

 spent f25,000 in entertaining the West- 

 ern Fruit Jobbers' Association. 



Orange Growers Get Low Prices 



It is stated that orange growers have 

 been hit hard, if not harder than the 

 apple growers of the Northwest, by low 

 prices. Orange growers in Florida who 

 refused 60 cents per box on the trees, 

 is it stated, now are unable to obtain 

 30 cents. One Florida grower made a 

 consignment of 20G boxes, for which he 

 received .^IS^'jO. He figures his actual 

 loss on the shipment at .$134.,50. 



"The railroad is our common high 

 road; it is not a luxury; it is not a 

 concern in which the farmer and the 

 manufacturer alone are interested; it is 

 an essential to the commercial life of 

 our iieoplc, almost as necessary as the 

 land itself. If we have too few rail- 

 roads, giving meager service and fol- 

 lowing the false policy of exacting high 

 tolls, the nation's growth will be by 

 so much retarded." — Hon. Franklin K. 

 Lane, Secretary of the Interior.
