Rio Gande Farmers and Growers as
ISOLATION The meeting, called TO or
de-. at o'clock was the most enthus-
iastic yet held with an attendance
,b,a times as great as at any pre-
vioI5 meeting. The report OF the or
lan.zation committee, the Office Of
which is 20 create interest and secure
now members was most encouraging.
Almost everywhere the highest COM
mtndatian Tor the new project was

QucP OF becoming members. WithnL
the officers and members are more

Efforts and with the assurance OF

the project Is assured.
The city vegetable market was
brought up In a discussion led by Roy
stamm OF the Stamm Fruit company,
De- having been requested to be pres
ent and mako suggestions on account
of his experience In the selling end
of tho fruit and vegetable business.
IN part Mr. Stamm said:
In nay opinion there Is only one
way TO make the production OF yege-
tables profitable In this vicinity and
that rs by the establishment OF a
vegetable market. The grOcers Will
be with you In the proposition, be-
cause under present conditions OF
.peddllng YOU first sell 20 the grocer
and then sell TO his prospective Gus
toners an even lower figures than
You have sold to the grocer. You also
cross and re-crOss each others tracks
i'm pCddllng: an OF this would be done
away with by the market.
AS 90 your contention that 30 per
cent of the produce consumed In this
city rs shipped IN and not raised loo
ally, ! am in no position TO verify
YOUR estimate. However. ! do know
that We bring In thousands and thou
sands o dollars worth Of produce that
might as well be raised In this yicln-
lily. For example we paid 20 one
grower near santa Fo last summer
heiNecn $1,000 and 81 GOO for apples
alone and we bought apples from 9TH
.or .ruWCfs also. Those apples can
be raised here Just as well as any
whore else. The whole secret 10 sue
cess la the produce and fruit business
l.cs IN ability 10 equalize supply and
demand and that can only be- done by
a growers organization.
1.-THE manager OF your association
should keep W intimate touch with
The demand Of the market Under
present haphezard conditions, each
IgrOwer shifting for himself there will
be- ana over production OF cabbage one
year ana The next year on account Of
the poor price the previous year not
enough win be raised As / say, this
condition o. 10 be alleviated by keep.
Iue in touch with che demand and
then regulating the supply
There rs no doubt in my mind but
That The higgost possibilities for out
side shipment lie In apples with
some other crops such aB cautaloupcs
the season is so late that they are
coming Ia from all over the country
before ripe here
Being questioned as 10 the pros
nocis for growing apples IN the vai-
Iey here. Mr.. siamm expressed him.
SELF as being certain that apples the
clual of the product Of any other To-
cnliiy are 40 be raised here n cultured
scientifically That assertions 10 the
