could the system be made SO, and how?
J. r. Jones, of Pasadena: "It is sat-
1sfactory."
w. H. Jameson. of Corona: ut has
been very satisfactory in our locality"
W. H. Shureman, of Claremont: II
think the system is satisfactory now.
Personally cannot complain. I have
been In the exchange ever since its or
ganization.''
A. l.. Reed. of whittier: II think the
system in the main Is satisfactory. II
could be made much more efficient II a
larger number Of growers would join 30
that It could control a larger per cent
Of the product"
Z George Frost, Of Riverside: "The
present system Is as satisfactory as
could be expected under present con-
ditions. think 1t could be improved by
adopting suggestions In my answer to
third question"
F. scoville. OF Corona: Every satis-
factory to u.s."
Russell Heath of Csrpenteria: "My
answer to question three will be an an
swer to this question. There is much to
be said In favor of the exchange move
ment but very much depends on the
business management"
Charles D. Adams. Of North Ontario:
The Ontario Fruit Exchange is satis-
factory to It's members in its main feat
ures- 1T has made Improvements each
year In its methods and it will continue
TO make them, having now under dis
cussion a modification of its manner Of
pro-rating. 1t will pay out more money
per pound this year for oranges than
ever before, and the greater part Of it
has been paid to the growers soon after
the receipt of the fruit-within thirty
days on the average. 1t expects to have
a notable increase of membership the
coming season, and 1t will be member
OF the Southern California Fruit Ex-
change. as 1t always has been and ever
expects to be. 1t believes that only
through union lies strength and sue
cess"
s. II. Herrick, of Riverside: "No sys-
tenn can he satisfactory to every one un-
less human selfshness can be eliminated.
The question Is too broad for an answer
IN a single paragraph"

8. II. Barrett, East Highlands: 81
think the system can be made satisfac-
tory but do not see how until growers,
on account of heavy crops and slaughter
ING competition are compelled to seek
protection by means of such a system"
l, r. Baxley, of Santa Barbara:
Chiehy by patience; by courage of
oryfv
BY accepting experience and not calling
1t defeat. BY seven men keeping to-
gether when number eight draws out
and giving him time to get lonesome
BY the careless grower learning at last
that his poor fruit is not loaded upon
anybody but Is dumped into his own
hind pocket"
Earl f. Van Leuven, of Cotton: "The
system Is generally satisfactory with
those who best understand and appre-
clate the necessity Of 1t. Dissatisfaction
comes from differences on minor points.
The minds of those who get little rest
less are filled with poisonous misrepre-
sentations by those most interested in
tearing down the exchange, until they
believe they have a real grievance. More
confidence of the growers in their united
ability Is needed"
INDEPENDENT ASSOCIATIONS
There are few independent or
ganizations In the form OF aseocia-
tons all based on the same principles
that govern the Southern California
Fruit exchange, but each one acting for
itself. Two or three of these organiza-
tions withdrew from the main exchange
one never Joined 1t, and some are organ
lied for the purpose Of joining the main
movement. There is Dried Fruit ex-
change at Pasadena, recently organized,
which desires to affiliate with the Cen
tral exchange through the Semi Tropic
exchange Of Los Angeles county. 1t is
also reported that there are one or two
deciduous fruit exchanges being organ
ized in the Pomona valley for similar
purpose.
The officers of the Pasadena Dried
Fruit exchange are:
President--C. H. Thompson.
Vice pres.dent-Dr. Randall.
Secretary-P. Boyd.
