Mr.. Edwin Jones, of Fresno, Cal, was
seen at the Templeton last evening. lie
is California fruit man on the way east
for vacation. and during the evening
said:
81 hate to hear a man talk about his
own business, but as that is all 1 could
speak on to be readable, I'll have to do
it. The raisin crop this year will be very
light, in fact l expect that it Will fall at
least 100 cars short OF last year. We have
nave mad d great time IN Fresno this
summer.
"a joint committee of five was appoint
ed by the chamber of commerce and the
one Hundred Thousand clup to regulate
the ralSin market. This committee re-
signed some days ago. They passed reso-
lulions TO the effect that raisin growers
had not given them the support that
they expected and that it would be a
waste or time TO do anything further.
Cooperative packers and commission
packers have had bitter fight this year.
fhe joint committee has endeayored to
form a common plan for packing and
selling.
The commission people endorsed the
plan ard went to work under il, but the
co-operatives refused it, and then there
"Of the latter there are eleven COM
panieS, composed of raiSin growers, who
join in packing their own raisins at actual
Cost, ana Sell through our committee. ~
year ago this committee doing work for
only five companies handled Y per cent.
of the crop, but this year they say that
they will get more than half. The COM
mission people who endorsed the plan will
now enter the field separately, each man
for himself. I'm a commission man.
There has been quite a war against i'm
pure fruit in California lately" he con-
tinued, tcentralizing, as is the usual case,
Francis hoSlQeS

been a promised fight against impure
canned fruits and jellies.
In a number of samples bought in open
market analyne dyes entered the compost
ton TO a great extent, Disgusting the
fact that the currant jelly had been made
from badly damaged fruit.
In a number OF cases apple jelly was
mixed with currant and labeled currant
jelly, but perhaps the most important
discovery was that of a bottle of Straw
berry jelly which, when Analysed was
found to be mixture of colored apple:
and turnip pulp"
