Meetings are to he held in every prune growing sect Ion of the counfv. The California Prune and Apricot Growers Association has over tiftOlt members. Itecetitly the growers iu Mendocino county, Cal., Joined this association. The local growers are fully nwake lo the fact thai without an organi zation to protect their interests the lies results ate not obtained. The full market value for the crops Is not reeofved. The marketing problem Is a enmp!eiug one and as the acreage increases, so Inn does the necessity of a sound business man as the or ganization head, experienced in the handling of the crops for Ihe mar ket become paramount. From pres'lH indications, the rrowers, lo the man. will become af filiated wilh Ihe Douglas County Prune G rowers Association, which when formed is to become, a part of the Northwest Prune Growers Asso ciation. The heads of this associa tion are frill men of exceptional nhitity and th- r knowledge of the ins and outs of 1 he prune industry nat u rally become diverted to Ihe lest interests of the growers them selves. The failure of most co operative prepositions is due to the lack of proper management. The packing of the crops, it is said, takes enormou: nrofits which go out of this district fo,eer. To place these profits where Ihey rightfully belong the above organizations are being fornn-d. Pnoi ganied, and with a big crop on a rlugnish market, it is the tendency of tin- growers lo cut prices. This praelice oft times proves disastrous financially to the pindiner. Concrete organizations, led by men who have years of prac tical experience a long these lines, virtually eliminates there dangers.

The damages previously granted is JltiOO. According to the two Glendale gentlemen this sum Is exceedingly low. in view of the fact that tho proposed mute cuts directly thru their valuable alfalfa ranch for a distance of three quarters of a mile. To fence this on both sides a mile and a half of woven wire fence will necessarily have to bo erected nt a cost of approximately $500, which sum of course must come from the $ltit)0 allowed us damages.
