ALL ARE AGREED ON ONE THING
Orange Growers Will Get Big
Prices.
The COOPERATIVE Exchanges Wsr
on the Middlem6n.
01d-Line Companies Profess Not to Be
Dismayed-No Change in the
Situation.
Los ANGELES, Jan. 5

While there is an undoubted rivalry between
the cooperative fruit exchanges and the old
line packers and shippers for the control OF the
Southern California orange crop. they are all
agreed on one point and that is that growers
will receive prices for their fruit which will
leave no room for complaint
There is practically nothing new in the situa-
ton. The quotations made few days ago re-
main unchanged, but no effort is being made to
work the fruit off at those prices. AS a matter
OF fact, the exchanges are not in q position to
I'LL any extensive orders Immediately. on &C
count OF the immature condition OF the crop.
The reply generally given to inquirers is that
the fruit is not ripe enough to ship, but that
there will be an abundance in few weeks.
The growers are just as well conteut to wait, as
they feel assured that they will receive more
than the prices onw scheduled Growers and
shippers all appear to he pursuing waiting
policy for the present
General Secretary Himball of the associated
exchanges is overwhelmed with correspond
ence, and when seen vas too busy replying to
kilograms to give out information. Secretary
helu Oh inc SeIll- lfUplC cNulb eACuuhSo was
also very busy but has his work we'll in hand.
The Earl Fruit company and Porter Bros
have large force at work preparing for the
handling of the crop but es yet have made few
Jpn ents, for the same reasons az delay ship
ments by the exchanges These long-estab-
lishej firms say they are not worrying them
selves a bout the war on the middlemen, as they
are not properly placed in that category. Their
business, they say is 10 find market for the
fruit and save growers the trouble and expense
of packing, paying them Is good prices as they
can expect to obtain anywhere.
They are not middlemen in the sense OF
agents who, without the investment OF any
capital, simply act as statesmen, market the
fruit foe what they can and pocket their COM
missions. On the other hand they have thou
sands of dollars invested in stores, packing
houses and facilities for handling the fruit
economically, and have connections which en-
alb e them to get the very best prices for the
producers.
The managers of the exchanges asSe TT that
the experience of last year proved that the CO.
operative plan is the best for the producers
The rain of Friday and Saturday has given
additional assurance of the safety of the crop,
and unless there is decided drop in the tenn
perature within the next five or six days. there
will be no further cause for alarm

The Chicago grain market opened steady at
size for wheat and advanced lie, the largest
advance recorded for many months. The
strength was attributed to eastern and foreign

How the Growers Propose to Dispense
With Middlemen.

How the Growers Propose to Dispense
With Middlemen.
(From the San Francisco Examiner
| Pc Platt. the eastern representative OF the
Southern California Fruit exchange. is on his
way to take charge OF the business OF the ex-
change in Chicago. He was interviewed at the
Grand hotel last night regarding the methods
of the exchange.
Mr. Plat explained that there are upwards OF
5000 orange growers in Southern California
whose crops OF oranges are pledged to the ex-
change. These growers are organized INTO
about 80 associations, which have been formed
in each of The orange growing districts OF the
south. These associations are grouped INTO
light exchanges rs follows: Rive rside Ffult
exchange, Riverside: San Bernardino county
Fruit exchange, Cotton; Duarte- Monrovla CIT
rus association, Duarte; San AnLon1o Fruit eA-
change, Pomona; Semi Tropic Fruit exchange,
Los Angeles; Orange County Fruit exchange,
Orange; San Diego County Fruit exchange, san
Diego; Queen Colony Fruit association south
The executive board is composed OF the fol-
lowing: A. f. Naftger, president; 4. q; Kim
ball secretary; L.. +. Van Luven, w. h. Young,
II. K. smith, Ii. II. Csrgill Frank Scoyllie ana
IL. f. NoIoross.
The local exchanges, as they are termed. are
each represented on the executive commlttee
OF the board of management, which executive
committee has sole control OF the entire buSi-
ness. Uniform prices are established at each
exchange, and through 1t each association is
eeeiyed.
The orange growers have found in the past
mat comm1ssions were ruinous TO them. The
exchanre having control of four fths of tine
entire crop, has abandoned altogether the COM
miss! on PLAN and will sell the oranges Tree on
hoarl AT shipping points thus being able to pay
the growers the mel cash prices for their oranges
at Inc time they are picked, packed and ready
for shipment.
To accompls h this end the exchange was es-
tablished. and is now appointing 200 or more
brokers or sgents-one for each city big enough
