question as to whether the organizations

at least 80 cents per box more than last
season, considering the 1 cent a pound
tariff and the demand for the fruit. If left
to the packers, the latter would keep prices
down, as they get their money out of the
price paid for packing, and thel over fruit
was the quicker they could turn their
money. The more timid thought that If the
price was put up the inspectors would send
to Europe for their fruit and not buy the
Redlands brand. Mr.. Hoag urged that a
committee go from house to house and urge
the growers to- demand higher prices and
work up public sentiment on that line
