Members Of the Exchange stress

advised extending the scope Of opera
tions to include that commodity. Ii

It might be possible to bring them

handle the fruit deal upon much the

Members of the committee were
instructed to make a thorough sur
vey Of the citrus industry Of the
Valley, the marketing methods en-
ployed by the various cooperatives
and from the data thus acquired pre-
pare recommendations and outline n
plan upon which all cooperatives and
growers could combine. The commit
tee expects to devote several weeks
to this work. and nc report or
recommendations are expected for
two or three months.
