The need of library has long been

will meet with public approval.
During the past year the Educa ton

idea of further accomplishments, a
larger membership is desired, and those
interested are now about TO start an
aggressive campaign to add new names

COOPERATE TO SELL FRUIT
Growers Work Does Not Cease Until
Money Is Safely DeposIted-caIi-
fornla Example.

For the benefit of the fruit industry
would urge that as growers we take
broad view of the marketing prob
lem. In the first place It has been
clearly demonstrated that a fruit grow
er's business does not cease when the
fruit Is grown; II only ceases when
money for the crop is safely in the
bank. and then only to begin again In
the preparations for new crop This
thing of turning ones crop over TO
some Outside commission house to sell,
although sometimes coming up to ex-
pectations has. nevertheless. so fire.
quently ended in financial disaster to
the growers concerned that eniight-
ened communities have long since
evolved the better plan of marketing
through associations of growers, says
writer In an exchange BY this
method. sufficient quantity Of fruit
is brought together to enable the asso-
citation to employ its own managers
and statesmen These men are inter
ested only In getting as much for the
growers as possible. The largest and
most notable example of this in the
United States. or the world. perhaps.
is the California Fruit Growers ex-
change. which has fits agents in every
large market IN the United States and
Canada. and a representative In Eu-
rope. Then there are fruit growers
associations in Florida. Texas. Wash.
ington. Oregon. Utah. Idaho and Col
orado.
