plans as to the type of the proposed organi- 

 zation; to maintain strong local organi- 

 zations; to develop pi .-ins for an adequate 

 system of market reports with relation to 

 prices at marlvets and at shipping stations 

 and to the distribution of cars; to make a 

 study of the most desirable packages for 

 grapes with a view toward standardization 

 of grades and to Investigate the various 

 methods of co-operative merchandising and 

 advertising. 



"There are numerous problems in con- 

 nection with the organization of the central 

 association that must be worked out," de- 

 clared Jay Caryell, secretary of the farm 

 federation. "There is the question of 

 whether it is better to organize in the 

 United States or Canada, and, if the former, 

 in what state. The formation of this organi- 

 zation naturally precedes steps toward a 

 centralized selling and advertising plan. It 

 is a question of whether it would be pre- 

 ferable to merchandise the product and con- 

 duct an aivertising campaign tliiough one 

 of the eyiiiing selling and advertising 

 agencies or through the central association. 

 There is no question, however, that tremen- 

 dous progress has been made at the con- 

 ferences toward development and extension 

 of the grape industry." 



At the morning session, Charles E. Bassett 

 of the North American Fruit Exchange and 

 William Baggs of the American Fruit Grow- 

 ers explained their selling plans. Bassett 

 now sells grapes for some local associations 

 in the United States and Baggs for Cana- 

 dian growers. Their argument that mer- 

 chandising through an agency would profit 

 the growers because of the elimination of 

 speculators and of overlapping of shipments 

 convinced the growers that some selling 

 agency is needed. 



George A. Cullen, vice-president of the 

 North American Fruit Exchange, submitted 

 samples of advertising to the growers which 

 were viewed with much favor. He declared 

 that co-operative advertising was essential 

 to the broadening of the grape consumption. 

 Growers agreed with him in this. Other 

 plans for an advertising campaign were pre- 

 sented by William Starck of the George 

 Batten Company. 



Western Marketing War 



EARLY in February the North-western 

 Fruit Exchange, with headquarters at 

 Seattle, one of the largest distributors 

 of commercial apples in the world, passed 

 Into new hands with the resignation of the 

 men who Helped form the. exchange 11 years 

 ago. The change, which is said to place the 

 fruit exchange in the hands of the American 

 Fruit Growers, Inc., came as a surprise to 

 the growers of Washington. 



The old directorate which resigned in- 

 cluded: W. F. Gwin, president; ReginaKl 

 H. Parsons, chairman of the board; D. K. 

 White, treasurer; A. A. Prince, secretary; 

 Worral Wilson, general counsel, and Jolin 

 W. Langdon. 



On Feb, 20, these men incorporated at 

 Olympia a new organization, the North Am- 

 erican Fruit Exchange, with a capital of 

 $100,000. It was stated that this selling 

 body will be a rival of the one from which 

 the organizers resigned. The North Ameri- 

 can officers are: Reginald H. Parsons, chair- 

 man of the board; W. F. Gwin, president; 

 A. R. Rule, vice-president; I), H. White, sec- 

 retary-treasurer; A. A. Prince, sales man- 

 ager; J. Curtis Robinson, traffic manager. 

 These officers, with Worrall Wilson, com- 

 pose the directorate. 



New officers placed In control of the 



North-western Fruit Exchange, at the time 



the old officers went out, are these: J. A. 



I Meade, president; H. O. Fletrhpr, vicp-pre-
