rus growers, it will be of great in
terest to the farmers of the State
generally. Since the passage of the
measure, farmers have been plan
ming farm loan associations, but few
Of them understand the necessary
steps for obtaining the loans. Fur
thermore, ii is doubtful If many
fully understand the purpose or linn
itations of the provisions set forth
in the act
Senator Fletcher has been identi-
fed with rural credit legislation
since it was first fully considered by
I Congress and he has been largely IN
srrumental in obtaining legislation
for the financial benefit of farmers
HE was chairman of the American
commission which was sent to Eu-
rome under the auspices of the South
ern Commercial Congress and also OF
,.ba United States Commission which
WAS appointed by President Wilson
to cooperate with the American !.
IN co-onerate with the American lie
has studied rural credit and rural
tco-operaticn problems in the united
states and in the countries of Eu-

store of knowledge upon these SUD
iects 1t is doubtful if any othei
authority in the United States uh-
derstands better Senator Fletcher
the proposed operation of the Farm
Loan Act and of rural credit systems
in general.

Marketing is one of the problems
which the citrus grower has to face
constantly and there is no man in
the country more capable of giving
advice on marketing than DR.. Brand
He has been studying market con-
ditions and problems in cooperation
with the California Citrus Exchange.
DR.. Brand will discuss the results of
these studies. He will also outline
the plan which has been adopted fer
furnishing market reports to grow
ers
Some Of the projects which the
Office of markets and rural organiza-
tions has taken up in the interest OF
growers are marketing and distribu'
ton, city marketing and distribu-
tion, cooperating, purchasing and
marketing, market Grades and
standards, marketing by parcels pest
and express, marketing business
practice and others. Some very in
teresting results of these various
activities will be given at the meet
