RESOLUTION. 



Mr. Fowler: I desire to offer the following resolution: 



Whereas, A resolution was adopted unanimously at the Eighteenth Fruit Growers' 

 Convention, providing for the formation and organization of commercial shippers, local 

 associations, and individual growers shipping in carload lots, into a union to be known 

 as the California Fruit Growers and Shippers' Association, to provide for (1) the estab- 

 lishment of a bureau of information to regulate the distribution of fresh fruit ; (2) to 

 establish one auction room in each city ; (3) and to make such auction room open and 

 free to all buyers ; and whereas, such an association was formed and has earnestly en- 

 deavored to accomplish the results set forth in such resolution, and to remedy the grave 

 evils that in the past have caused the shipping of fresh deciduous fruits to the markets 

 of the East so unprofitable to the grower ; and whereas, this convention, recognizing the 

 zeal with which said labors were performed by said association, and the energy and 

 time so freety given by the members thereof, for the benefit of the fruit industry of the 

 State ; therefore, be it 



Resolved, That the fruit-growers of California in convention assembled, do hereby most 

 heartily approve of the actions of said association in its endeavors to bring into ex- 

 istence conditions that would make the growing of fruit in this State a profitable 

 industry, and we commend the zeal of its members and officers, and hereby pledge it 

 our hearty and continued support. 



The resolution was carried. 



On motion, the convention adjourned to Wednesday morning.
