Sapiro gave the jury this definition
of a cooperative marketing associa-

sociation is an organization by
which farmers get together to sell
their products through a central Of
fee, taking in az many growers of
one product as can be reached
geographically"
Associations organized on a To-

of the commodity handled have
usually failed, he said. He described
in detail how he evolved his plan,

as examples.
Senator James A Reed of Ford's s
counsel finally interrupted what he
called this lecture on cooperative
marketing" He demanded that
some limit be placed upon the wit
ness. The court permitted Sapiro to
continue. Reed continued to protest,
but was overruled.
He told of some of the early trou-
bles Of the California cooperatives,
including an instance when he said
the Raisin Growers Association had
agreed to pay growers 2 cents a
pound and the price on the market
at Fresno, Cal. went below that fig
ure, causing heavy losses. This led
to a revision of the agreement be-
tween growers and the association
eliminating the price guarantee.
