GROWERS SEEK
COMBINE RIGHT

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2S,-Hav-
ing obtained financial backing for
campaign to sell the 100000 geo
worth OF California dried fruit crop
In tho United states and South
America. State Market Director
Harris Weinstock OF California is
hero today to see whether his plan
may be executed without falling
himself and the growers.
He conferred with the federal
trade commission and Attorney
General Gregory to ascertain
whether an organization OF growers
such as he proposes would violate
the Sherman antitrust law.
Weinstock said the commission
favored his proposal.
Upon tho outcome OF his confer
enca may depend operations of
many growers organizations.
New York bankers are prepared
to finance the crop and loan to
growers at 3ia per cent interest
upon perhaps so per cent of the
value OF their crop. provided the
growers organize. standardize their
products. and have them inspected
and labeled by state commission.
said Weinstock.
They previously have been fore.
ed to glut the market below the
cost OF production or else secure
loans at from eight to twelve per
cent"
