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.

GLENDALE MEN OBJECT
TO DAMAGES ALLOWED ON
A RIGHT Of WAY THERE
Andrew and Sidney Jacques, well
known Glendale ranchers, appeared
before the county court this after
noon asking that Ihe. body grant
Ihein considerable more damages for
the right of way thru (heir ranch
lor the Stage Couch Pass cut-off near
Glendale. 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.
I he court Informed tho men that
they had no Jurisdiction in Ihe mat
ter as the work was under state con
tract. The protest is to bo laid be
fore District Attorney Geo. Nenner.
