Miller: The farm group. 



Baum: Did they have a meeting? Or were they of another farm 



organization? 

 Miller: No. They had a meeting among themselves and they gave 



me the names, 

 Baum: These were the apricot-growers only. 



Miller: Apricot-growers only, yes. And there were tnree groups 

 that made that one. If I chose to call them into 

 emergency session I wanted them there immediately, 

 and I wanted to lay down my problem with them. I will 

 say this, I didn't have to use them — only as indivi- 

 duals reporting that everything was going along all 

 right, but I very, very seldom had to ever consider 

 using them. I used to meet with them once a week and 

 we'd go over these mutual problems together. 

 Baum: Did they gather once a week? 

 Miller t Oh, yes. 



Baum: And they were cooperative in coming together? 

 Miller: Oh, yes, they never missed. 

 Baum: How long before the picking seasion did this group get 



appointed? 

 Miller: I was in there 1 would say tnree weeks before the 

 picking season.
