PASADENA, March 20.-(Regulal
Correspondence The leading lemon
growers in Pasadena and vicinity are
waking up to the necessity of some sort
of cooperation in the handling and mar
keting of their crop Of lemons. and
profting by the experience OF other To-
calities, have taken the preliminary
steps looking toward the organization OF
lemon exchange or association, such
as those now in successful operation at
Ontario, Glendora and other neighbor-
ing points. The points desired to be in
cluded in the association are Lamanda,
Sierra Madre, Altadena. Canyada. AL
hambra. South Pasadena and other To-
calities near Pasadena. A large major
ity of the growers in this territory are
subscribers to the company, or have
signifed their intention to join In the
movement. There is no difference in
opinion among the growers as to the
desirability of having such an enter
prise and of the great necessity for it,
in order to be able to successfully mar
ket the crop.
There Is said to be a total area of
about 400 acrec of lemon groves within
this territory. which consists of bearing
trees, most OF which area has already
been secured To-. the exchange. 1t is
intended to cooperate with the Orange
Growers association and with the De-
ciduous Growers. and not to. enter into
anything experimental, but to be guided
by the well-known experience of those
communities where the exchange sys-
tenn is now in successful operation.
