Mail Tribune 100, April 1, 1915 The following news items were drawn from the archives of the Mail Tribune 100 years ago. Comment MailTribune.com Writer Posted Apr. 1, 2015 at 12:01 AM Posted Apr. 1, 2015 at 12:01 AM » Social News April 1, 1915 The weather report for the month filed today shows that .89 of an inch of rain fell during March, making the seasonal shortage 11.58 inches, and the monthly shortage 1.51 inches. During the rains of the past week, .45-inch fell. The heaviest fall was last Sunday, when .28-inch fell, Tuesday 0.5 and Wednesday .08. The prediction is for more rain, the air being warm and balmy. Last March .42 inch fell. The average is 2.4 inches. The highest temperature for the month was 83 degrees on March 22, the lowest temperature March 8 at 26 degrees. There were 13 clear days and 13 cloudy, with five days partly cloudy. The greatest daily range in temperatures was 46 degrees. During the month there were no unusual phenomena, the most striking feature being a brilliant double rainbow on the 30th.   A method by which the fruit growers of the Rogue River valley may make 100 percent more profit was outlined by Hon. W.A. Paulhamus of Puyallup, Wash., at the Natatorium yesterday afternoon. The method in brief is for the grower to pay quarter of a cent a box for the maintenance of a growers council, which in turn will so organize the orchard production of the northwest that prices may be maintained throughout the country. The speaker said that with such an organization he believed the grower would receive 25 cents more per box even under present conditions. There is no attempt to dictate as to what organization the local grower shall ship through, the only requirement is that every member of the organization sign an agreement that he will not ship through any selling agency not subject to the direction of the shippers council. "There are from five to seven hundred different sellers," said the speaker, "far too many, but we must go slow. If we tried to weed out the bad ones we would all be dead before anything could be accomplished. We must take conditions as they are, and try to improve them slowly, growing to the ideal condition by degrees."
