this morning that delegation Of

will be given considerable attention
ut this meeting.
Imperial Valley grape growers

it would hold back the grape crop
here until August, thus placing it
on the market at the same time rs
the San Joaquin grapes, which
would have Il bad effect on prices.
The Coachella Valley grape grow
ers have taken the same view of
the situation as the local grape
growers and associations in San
Bernardino, Los Angeles and River
side counties have also come to the
side of the local men in opposing
the action suggested by the SAN
Joaquin growers.
George F. Johnson, prominent
grape grower of Holtville, left this
afternoon for San Diego, to inter
view erapo men in that section and
hopes TO have a number of repre-
sentativcs attend Saturday S meet
