roneous impressions that nv :
to the Texas Truck Grower v.
1899. S1'o g ~
The purpose of the .....,.,

truck growers OF the Ststs' w. y "
expressed in the CONSTITUTE

diversity our crops, and nv y, - 4
hope TO retain In our Stats ssn N
amount OF money that apnu,1s
for all kinds OF produce 49,
promote the growth and ,h,s
Kinds of early produce finn M
Northern markets. SO that ips,ss.
Ing a constant stream Of mon
OF the State for supplies W. ~
a constant stream coming ~. Z
We feel that is the only rems NY y
cotton. and on the success n ~.
ing depends to a large extern a
perity of the State.
With these preliminary r.,,....
the object to be accompiishss
the objections that hayc
against the association. Il ~.
first. that there is no necessary IN " I!
ISOLATION. and that 1t Is impraaiss.
seems that all professions Al n.
from the doctors to the LAWYER N.
commission merchant TO tho ,sII,s..
panies. have found it necesssrs Nj /
ticable to organize; that Ii, M
truck growers OF California. c,o,S
other places have found Il u,sssss.
profitable to organize and W. ~ !. y.
why We can rot pursue the an b,
and accomplish the same results ~
now. -: ~
2. 1t is said that we need !.
corporation. | will answer ibat q,
this we will have no legal stana.ss
courts. and that we are mora lII,S
heard and secure Justice II " ~
and act as a corporation 5000 =
strong, and with the united xnjA
iluence and talent OF its member NJ
we acted as individuals.
3. We are charged with desl,
clude from the association all DEM
cept truck growers and that N n
doing SO, exclude the merchant ~
business men who realize the inn,
of the movement and that the mr.
can not we'll dispense with the tlef
influence of these persons. Ii iplsl
this will say that there Is no,Aiut
by laws TO exclude these persons; d
question Of membership Is still ~
discussion. but / am OF the opinion 81
business men who have thought ltd
matter at all will see that II Is MAJ
their pockets to help the asso.lhia
they can. That they can render u
sistance out of the association i u
in il. and that they will be intlEgd
to how. where or when they assilt I
as the money is brought Into and M
in the State and that they are VIM
risk getting their share lit I'm
II certainly will be to the interat6
truck growers to see that the sttta I
association does not fall into Ash
1f the commission merchants, iAs
portation companies and o!htD
may be opposed . that
association. That the members VI
% see that the association Is not -
/, political machine or turned 70 y
crest of any clique who mar hivsts
20 grind.
4. We are further charged xih
90 weak to organize, that We ~
brains, business aaiE
stick -ativeness" to succeed.
realize there is some ground ~
,harge, that we don't know Il y
never set the river on fire, ml
anne time we are not ready 70 p'ek
)aby act that we hope TO grow ana
md that out of the 100000 farmers
State we hope to find enough 'ifl
organize and gradually perfect OF
that We can at least 90 =
IS an association as We can 90
Iividuals.
5. Fault was found With US inf Z.
