Standing- Committee on the Revision of Horticultural Laws. — In 



appointing the standing committee which is to be entrusted with the 

 exceedingly important task of revising our horticultural statutes, the 

 temporary committee delegated with this power, has tried to give fair 

 representation to the growers and shippers of both citrus and deciduous 

 fruits. In addition, the State Association of County Horticultural 

 Commissioners, the State Commission Market, the State Viticultural 

 Commission and the State Agricultural Society, are each represented. 

 The personnel of the committee is such that there will necessarily be 

 a wide variance of opinion regarding many matters which are brought 

 before it for discussion. There could be no better place than in a 

 meeting composed of representative men from the different interests, 

 to exchange ideas and if possible finally agree on a program which can 

 be supported by all. If there are interests not represented which 

 should be, it is only because the appointing committee has overlooked 

 these interests. Certainly it is their intention to slight no one, and 

 all appointments have been made with the greatest of care and in a 

 spirit of fairness toward all. 



Already individual members of this committee are known to be 

 working hard in order that their ideas on certain phases of legislation 

 may assume definite form for presentation and discussion at the 

 meetings.
