Sturdily Defends Growers Association at Meeting
About twenty five members of the Kennewick Highlands Improvement Club joined the city organization's regular meeting last Tuesday night for the annual officer election and a discussion led by H P James. James, formerly secretary of the North Yakima Commercial Club, urged cooperation among fruit growers and praised the Yakima Valley Fruit Growers Association for its work this season despite a record peach crop and low prices. He cited 800 cars of peaches sold and only five cars not covering transportation costs, while Colorado and other districts stored stock unsold. Attendees endorsed cooperative selling as essential to industry prosperity. Ernest Neible of Kennewick Electric and A H Zane of the transfer company noted improved travel on the Hanford road, with three hour trips Hanford to Richland using under five gallons of gas.
