there were other varieties that would
sell better than the Thompson; that
the soil in this section was Well
adapted to growing grapes: that sew
eraI vineyards in the valley had got
ten as high as 500 per acre from
their grapes and that the grape in
dustry would be green grape propo-
sition for some time to come: that IL
would be some time before the ra1sin
industry would become of any I'M
portance. He said the present grape
crop of the Arizona Grape Growers
was being marketed by the Califor-
MIA Fruit Exchange, a cooperative
