taloupe men.
With n crop which win move en-
firely within the next 40 to 60 days,
and which viii represent many mil
lion dollars turnover, shippers are
considering n clearing house PROPOSE
tion to help them solve the tremcn-
tous problem Of marketing several
thousand ears to fhe best Advantage
in this limited period.
Briefly stated the plan under
consideration calls for 80 to - per
cent of the daily shipments to be
handled as at present by the ship
pers of the ears.
The remaining % to so per cent,
as the ease may be, would be dis
tributed through the clearing house,
an organization TO which all ship
pers would be eligible. Thus, with
so to Is per cent of the actual dis
tribution being handled by the ship
pers themselves, it would be the
purpose of the clearing house to
take this remaining surplus, and re
adjust it after the shippers had
made their daily allotments.
Adjust Supply
. Shot
some markets received an over-sup-
Ply during the course of past sea
sons, while other markets were
short. the clearing house, which
would function through an advisory
board. composed probably of three
members, would endeavor TO adjust
the supply throughout the entire
country so that each market wonld
receive sufficient for its needs,
while none would be glutted.
The fact that practically all the
shippers of cantaloupes from I'm
perial Valley are also their growers
would prevent such a method of
marketing from functioning in re-
straint of trade, and would make it
cOlnt uHdtF lhe HeIu oI IL co-opcid- a
tive organization. Tho United
States Department of Agriculture,
it is said, approves of such an or
ganization and has stated that its
operation would be strictly legal.
Plans for an advisory board to
conduct the operation of the clear
ing house calls for three members
who would be appointed by the
shippers themselves, one of the
three to supervise the detail Of dis
tribution. The chairman of the
board, il is stated, would be neu-
tral party not connected with any
shipping concern. The other two
members would serve IN rotation
either daily or for such periods rs
might be found advisable. il being
planned by this method that every
shipping organization have a rep
resentative serve on the advisory
board during the shipping period.
