Orange Growers Meet.

Crescent City Wednesday and held
a meeting at the auditorium. Meet
ing was called TO order at 8 o'clock.
Mr.. A. p. DeWolf was elected chair

time upon the benefits California
people secured by getting together
and organizing, and showed why and
how the Florida orange growers
should do likewise. He also ans
wered many questions asked by diff
ferent ones in the audience. He was

the contract and made explanations
as he went along. After the meet
ing IA people signed to ship their
fruit through the Exchange. These
IA were mostly the smaller growers,
pledging II little over 10000 boxes.
This season of the year caught most
of the larger Crescent City growers

attended the meeting. Their senti-
ment was for local organization
