THE 10 ire l SEQ OF your country" he
said, "the mIre | bee 1me impressed
with the boundess resources and the
excellent fruit that you produce. You
have everything here that the heart
could wish for, and yet you are al mos
unknown to US in the east. You have
either not enough consumers or there 10
something wrong with the ways and
means OF bringing your products to the
notice OF the people in the east. Ii we
ell knew, az | know now, the abundant
and inexhaustb BILE resources, your fruits
and your wines, you would get market
and fair profit. raiein grower offered
me yesterday raisins at 2 cents q pound,
for which l pay rs csat5 per pound in
New York.
Il am president of the Farmers as
soeiation in my state. and II | should
tell them only one-fourth OF whatI have
