 Vanaervoort, bank was selected as secretary of the meeting. Mir. Glenn F. Wallace, manager and sales agent of the Sevier County Truck Growers Co-Operative Association, who had come up from DeQueen to address this meeting, told in a brief, forceful way of the progress the association has made in marketing this seasons crop. He outlined how a few of the individual growers in Sevier county had taken the truck marketing con- tract, drawn by Aaron Sapiro, attor- 1 Eey for the California fruit growers, | and had signed thus making it possi- 1 bIe to establish their present 0rgani- | xation. He also told how this con- tract had by guaranteeing definite de- | livery of truck products to the cen tral sales agency, had enabled the as- sociation to sell their cantaloupes for | 30 cents per crate, more than other | melons from the same territory were | selling for on the same markets.
 Following Mir. Wallace's talk a | round table discussion was held, at | which time the marketing contract | was read and all its provisions were | noted. Following this discussion a ] move was made by some of the grow | CTS that immediate steps be taken to | start the organization work in Polk | county and that arrangements be | made for linking up the activities of | the growers in the two counties. This motion was carried without dissent ing vote, and the chairman was em- powered to appoint an organization | committee composed of representa- tives from the various points along | the Kansas City Southern railway to | outline general organization cam pairn The committee will be named | within a few days and a meeting of i this committee will be called imme- diasely following the Farmers Short l Course.
