ADVERTISING OF
CRAPEFR UIT TO
help GROW ERS
All to- Share Expense is
Plan Advocated by
Committee
BY VERGIL G. BARBER
chairman. Grapefruit Growers De-
rarSment, I, V. Farm Bureau)

There will be no attempt in this
article TO evade the issue and it vii
be admitted even in starting that
the grapefruit growers are having a
hard time to get rid of their fruit
TINS season.
Last year with production Of %
cars of fruit everyone received
good price and the fruit moved
readily, but this year with produe-
tion increased 100 per cent there
has been some trouble in selling the
fruit on the California markets. This
does not mean that we have come to
the point where increased production
must stop, bat rather that an ednca-
tional campaign should be inaugural
ed to acquaint people outside of the
state with the value and high quail
itv OF Imperial Valley grapefruit.
Those growers who have grape
fruit for sale realize that something
must be done through the grapefruit
growers department of the Farm
Bureau. The plan is to work one
city at a time and by putting our
fruit on the market actually create a
demand for it. When one city has
been worked TO the extent that I'm
pe1ial Valley grapefruit sells readily
and at a reasonable price, the cam
paign will be carried to other cities,
20 that by the time the young groves
come into bearing there should be 4
rea ly market for all the fruit which
Is produced,
Expense Prorated
Such a plan of advertising would
entail considerable expense. How
ever, if this loss could be prorated
among all the growers of the valley
the loss to each individual would be
negligible and the ultimate good
would be large. Not only ishould
al those growers who are now sell
ing fruit stand the expense of this
but also those Young
growers who VIII have fruit two or
three years from now ought to stand
part Of the cost. The reason for
this is that the resultant good will
Irrpabiy mean more to them than to
tae older growers.
IL the opinion of a number of
growers, the first step in the cam
paign IS TO acGuaint the growers
wltA the existing conditions. The
EeHt step will be a mass meeting -
discuss plans for remedying existing
conditions. At this meeting there
should be some neutral, OUTSIDE
speaker to give his ideas on the sub
Ject. Then there should be COM
'Aittee appointed to draw up some
sort OF working agreement and fin
ally campaign T. get all growers,
young and old, TO stand their share
OF The advertising expense.
At the present time arrangements
are being made by the grapefruit
growers department of the Farm |
bureau to hold mass meeting for
the purpose of discussing the mar /,
ketlng problem. This meeting will
probably be held within the next
three weeks at some centrally 10. I
Gated grove, and will consist Of a
good program preceded by d barbe- /
cue at noon.
