That tho fruitgrowers of tho

brought from tho Atlantic coast by

Since leaving hero In tho fall Mr.

fruit. And In his opinion tho grow
ers hero should co-oprato and extend
tho market to other cities.
"I went cast to look this matter
up," states Mr. Parsons, "and gnvo
much tlmo to It. I bellevo that lo
ol growers, by acting together can
extend the markotn for our high
