The Orange Growers Combination.
Local Notes.
PASADENA, Nov. 19.--The combination
OF the orange growers of this section
which was effected at meeting held in
the board OF trade rooms few days ago,
; II successfully carried out, means much
to the orange producers Of this section.
At that meeting stock subscription
list was started, and has been, we un-
derstand, quite literally subscribed to
80 far as 1t has been presented to the
growers. The amount OF stock which
can be purchased by one party is 10
shares, thus guarding against any CEN
} tralization, which would prove disas-
trous to the association.
The plan as laid down by the consti-
tuition and bylaws was adopted and can
not fail to bring in much larger returns
to the orange grower than he has here
tofore received after the middleman has
taken the larger percentage for his
trouble.
An experienced orange buyer for q
large northern house who is in this sec.
tion looking over the orange crop, in
conversation with the HERALD reporter,
said From the general appearance
OF your trees around here there is going
to be light crop, and the growers
should receive q good price for their
fruit, as the crop will be light through
out Southern California.
When questioned as to the outcome OF
the growers association he admitted
that II they stuck together they could
run out the middlemen, but that they
would have q hard fight Of 1t.
a, The manner OF procedure OF the
packing companies will be TO gain ad-
vices OF where the growers association
prepares to put in car OF fruit and by
rushing in their fruit glut the market
and force the sale OF fruit at loss to the
association. While the packing COM
pany would stand equal loss they figure
that few such sales will discourage the
growers and compel them to adopt the
old method. However this may be, it
is certain that il the growers are to
make q success Of their organization
they must stand together az man until
In hand 10 hard at work and will make
report at the next meeting OF the as-
sociation.
