Gordo Blanco grape, is Spain's favorite raisin

honor of capturing the greatest acreage.

From, a Holiday Visitor
To ALL Year-Rounder

Uniting common interest in a common aim,
these growers have rescued their industry from
poverty and have placed it high in the ranks
of progressive and satisfactory accomplish
ment. The raisin has been a striking means
of demonstrating that Incorporation is the life
blood of prosperity" 1t almost would seem
that President Harding must have had before
him the facts here set down when he recon-
mended this cooperation for other groups
that give themselves to the cultivation of
Mother Earth.
The monopoly of raisin growing, which the
San Joaquin Valley enjoys is created by a
monopoly making climate, combined with the
Sierra's melting SHOWS that fill irrigating
bitches and soil that, when treated under
standngly gives life to the vine. Summers
are long and summers are hot out Fresno way.
Not only do they bring the grape to luscious
maturity, but they make for the prefcct cur
ing of the raisn, which takes on it's rich purple
under the rays of the sun, needing no process
sing but that which nature provides
Many flee out of Fresno to mountain and
seashore to escape the midsummer temper
ature. Others apologize for the heat, or insist
that it does not exist But the attitude of the
ajority is one of audation and not of apo-
ogy, for it is realized that this more-than-
warm smile of Phoebus is Fresno's greatest
asset.
The present association has marketed nine
crops of raisns. Its story is told briefly
Ra;sins ten years ago found their way into
American homes around holiday time and
begged vanly for market Of any kind dur,
ing the rest of the year. The housewife
thought of raisins only in connection with the
mince pies and plum puddings of the Yuetide
and rarely in connection with everyday USE
Hardly soul thought Of taking the raisin
straight, millions are doing now. Growers
had devoted themselves to producing and had
given little thought to the problems of getting
the income due them for investment and
labor. They raised raisins-and waited for
the world to find that raisins were pretty
good.
Perhaps the collapse Of the Kearney organi-
zaton due to a more fundamental cause
than financial or business incapacty-srowers
were not ready yet for cooperation. They
needed lesson and they got when the
industry again went into control of the indie
pendent packers.
New-York tribune., 1922-01-29

generally were scoffed at as "visionaries" The
opt1mlsts believed that a market could be
found for every raisin California could pro-
duce. And they saw that the solution Of the
problem was in increasing consumption suffi-
GENTLY to take care of the holdover crop; that
IS, the crop not in immediate demand. They
realized that in the haphazard way in which
their wares were marketed, with scores Of
brands on shop shelves timidly waiting for
chance purchaser, there could never be
change in conditions. They knew that no pri-
vate packing concern, competing with numer-
Gus other similar concerns, could be strong
enough financially to carry on any sort of cam
paign to increase consumption or stabilize the
market
In the despairing days of 1910 group Of
leading growers got together with group of
leading packers and proposed a pooling organ
lzatlon that would deliver the bulk of the crop
for tve-year period at a price averaging
three and a quarter cents.
The packers rejected this proposal.
The packers declared the market never would
pay such a price and that they would be left
holding the bag.
