The following from this weeks issue
of the Pomona Progress will be of inter
est, not only to Pomonans, but all
readers OF the HERALD:
SOME FALSE REPORTS.
Reports have gained circulation in
some OF the papers of Southern Califor-
MIA that the orange growers exchanges
are competing against each other in sell.
ing their fruit and each is trying to cut
the others' Threats by quoting low and
ruinous prices; and, as a climax to this
alleged folly, it has been published
abroad that some OF the exchanges are
consigning their fruit. In conjunction
with such pernicious reports as these,
comes an exceedingly vindictive attack
by the Minneapolis Produce Review on
one of the exchanges' chief representa-
tives in the east, alleging among other
things that he is endeavoring to swindle
the eastern dealers by selling them fro
zen California oranges for cash, (. o. b.
The managers OF the Southern Cali
fornia exchanges say that the allegations
are all absolutely false and malicious,
and are intended to iDjure and, if possi-
BILE, break up the organizations; that
the exchanges are not in any way
nder-bidding each other or cut
ting prices. and the alleged cop
les of exchange kilograms that
have been sent back from the east
are all forgeries. w. E. Collins, secre-
tary and manager Of the San Antonio
Fruit exchange, Gays that if the persons
who publish these reports will take the
trouble to examine the original dis
patches, which the telegraph companies
have permission to exhibit, they will see
that no dispatches have ever been sent
out like the purported copies that have
come back from the east.
Everybody knows that the fret sea-
son will be the most trying one with the
fruit exchanges, and this is critical
time of the season; but the orange
growers should profit by the experience
of the past and stand firmly bv their or
gan cations. The prospects are good for
them to obtain fair prices for their fruit.
The salvation OF the orange grower
lies in the maintenance and perfection
Of the associated organizations, and this
is The time that they need his unquali-
fed support.
