western resilient selling agencies hav- 

 ing a tonnage of not less than an aver- 

 age of one hundred cars per season. 

 Individual growers producing one or 

 more carloat quantities may likewise 

 and under the same terms be active 

 members. Under a corresponding ton- 

 nage condition, a passive membership 

 is open to all local associations allili- 

 ated with selling agencies, as well as 

 individual growers. Maintenance of 

 the Fruit Growers' Agency will be 

 borne by the shippers upon a tonnage 

 pro-rata basis. Eligibility to member- 

 ship is confined to certain specific fea- 

 tures, namely, selling organizations 

 must be bona tide Northwest resident 

 bodies; they must be actual agents of 

 the grower and market their output in 

 his behalf; they must use the uniform 

 contract exclusively. All other active 

 and passive members must also be par- 

 ties to and use exclusively that same 

 contract. The uniform contract is the 

 instrumentality about which the entire 

 movement and organization is con- 

 structed. 



The uniform contract illustrates the 

 general scope of the entire plan. Its 

 conditions, which are mandatory upon 

 the selling organizations, constitute the 

 principal great needs of the grower; 

 incidentally they represent the very 

 things the shipjjers have recognized as 

 vital to the progress of marketing 

 methods, — for example, the wider de- 

 velopment of markets, the great need 

 for a controllable and economical pio-

— get a Bean. It is the 42-centimeter gun in the fruit grower's fight against orchard 

 pests — and it is pounding down the obstacles that stand in the way of bigger crops, better 

 fruit and more profits. That's why the growers of the Northwest unite in their praise of 



Bean Power Sprayers 



The spraying season is on. There's no time for 

 delay. We have a coinplete stock at several cen- 

 trally located Northwest points and can make 

 immediate delivery. You will make no mistake in 

 choosing a Bean. It will do your work, do it right, 

 and still be doing it long after cheaply built rigs 

 would have been consigned to the scrap heap. 

 There are scores of reasons why "The Bean is the 

 Best" — let your dealer tell you or read them in 

 our new catalog.

 the guide to actual practices as in-

 grower and marketer are thus in har- 



mony in the aim to obtain the wisest 

 and widest distribution with the great- 

 est return at the least cost of operation.
