He tells us, too, that the shipments Of

be doubled or even trebled when the
young vineyards that have already been
planted come into bearing. He gives a
great deal of interesting information In
this connection concerning the work OF
the department in arranging for co-opera-
ton among the fruit growers, which. he
says. is revolutionizing the methods of
shipment SO that the perishable fruit can
be sent to market without loss. He
speaks also of the cooperative marketing
