cause no serious injury anywhere.

COURT DECISION
ON VEGETABLES
VERY IMPORTANT

A decision which is expected to
have an important effect upon the
lettuce and cantaloupe industry,
and is therefore of interest to I'm.
pcrial Valley growers and shippers,
has just been made in a suit brough.
a year ago by the Carlsbad Vege.
table Growers Association of CARTS
bad, California, against. Cohen,
Mann and Kah nof Los Angeles.
The decision, which was given on
the matter of a shipment of fresh
peas, states in brief that a shipper
handling consigned perishables eau.
not transfer the trust to another
party without specific authority
from the grower.
Cohen, Mann and Kahn had re-
celved advances from eastern firms
oollgatlng them to ship to certain
markets and firms regardless OF
market conditions. According to
decision, the firm was really OBJ.
hgated to sell to the best advantage
possible, at the time of shipment, to
the highest market available.
The plan of some shippers, who
on securing advance money from
eastern dealers agree to deliver q
specific number of. cars to that deal
er regardless fof market conditions,
must be discontinued according to
this decision, as the particular legal
loint made is that the shipper
landiing goods on consignment has
10 legal right to permit a third
party to have authority over such
goods.
