For Big Moveme ent

LOS ANGELES - Splendid rains
and prospects for bumper crops all
over California were designated by
Edward Chambers of Chicago, vice
president of the Santa Fe railway
in charge of traffic, as the forerun-

Phoenix and the east after having
surveyed this state from San Diego
north and conferred with the larg-
est shippers, marketing organiza-
tions and other interests allied with
the handling of the fruit and agri-
cultural crops of this state.
II have never before seen SO
bright an outlook in California and
Arizona" said the vice president,
''and our company already is ac-
lively engaged in formulating plans
for handling its share of the COM
modities. Better marketing and
distribution of the fruit and agri-
cultural crops is now and always
has been of vital concern, and more
attention this year is being paid
to the needs of shippers and grow
erS.
The Santa Fe's new $17000,000
fruit and vegetable terminal in
Chicago, he said, will be of great
help in marketing perishables the
coming season, as the almost un-
limited storage yards, auction
house facilities an dclose connec-
tion with the retailers through
quick unloading and marketing,
provided medium of rapid hand
ling that has never before been at
