Clemency From Ammons
JMAY EXPERIMENT
ON PACKAGE CHARGE
Association Directors to Again
Seek TO Convince
Growers.

The proposal to institute a pack
age charge for handling fruit will
probably again be put before the
stockholders of the Grand Junction
Fruit Growers Association at the
annual meeting to be held next
month.
A year ago the proposal was sub
mitted and defeated, and President
Johnson and other directors are
anxious to see the growers vote on
the question again. The experience
of the past year has demonstrated
that had the package charge been
instituted, as suggested year ago,
the growers would have benefited
to a considerable extent, although
the association would not have had
such profitable year. Because of
the high price of fruit. the commits
sions were much higher than the
association would have collected from
the proposed package charges.
The Palisade Fruit Growers AS
sociation eXperimented with the
package charge the past season. and
growers were well satisfied with it.
and now that they will become mem
bers of the Grand Junction associa-
ton, that organization will have
backing in the proposal to institute
the experiment among its own grow
ers. Most of the best growers favor
the scheme on the theory that they
are compelled to pay more for hand
ling their fancy fruit than the man
with poor quality fruit. whose pro-
duct is much more expensive to mar
liet.

MANUFACTURERS TO
BOOST PACK PLANT

The Western Slope Manufacturers
association last night decided to get
behind the proposal to establish a
pork packing plant here and give ev-
cry inducement to insure the sue
cess of the enterprise.
County Agriculturist Harrison has
been urging the plan and many local
business men have approved it. The
grocers and meat dealers say that
with careful management the enter
prise should prove a complete sue
cess.
The matter was generally discussed
by the meeting last night and If the
people who are now considering the
investment will carry out their plans,
the association will extend every aid
possible to help them in the new
industry.
