PASADENA, July 25.-In response to
call from Chas. Fl. Bushley of Laman-
da park meeting was held there Thurs
day evening of some forty fruit growers
and dryers, for the purpose of devising
means of selling fruit to more profit.
There was considerable discussion and
the general sentiment seemed to be de-
cidedly against the consignment of fruit
Holders of fruit on this coast should sell
only for cash, no matter what the de-
moralization of the market might be or
how it is to be remedied. There was a
settled determination on the part of all
present to do something in cooperation,
if possible, so that something may be
realized on the quantity of fruit which
will be marketed this season. A COM
mittee of six was appointed to call
general meeting of Pasadena fruit
growers at an early date. The COM
mittee was composed of Messrs. Stone,
Etten, Thompson, Scholfield, Randall
and Lloyd. The committee met last
evening at the residence of DR.. Randall
on South Marengo avenue to further
the matter. All members were present
and il was their sentiment to organize
change similar to that of the citrus
growers. After discussing ways and
means it was decided to look into the
details of similar associations and hold
another meeting Thursday evening at
Wood & Church's office on South Ray
mond avenue, when a call will be is
sued for general conference. c. c.
Thompson presided at the meeting.
