ORGANIZATION OF A CENTRAL FRUIT EXCHANGE 



AFTER being in session several days 

 the delegates to the Central Fruit 

 Exchange took decisive action at Walla 

 Walla by the adoption of a selling agency 

 for the entire Northwest. In pursuing 

 this course it is believed that fruit men 

 have taken a step that will either be the 

 most beneficial the fruit industry has 

 ever known or it will cost them heavily 

 for a 3'ear or so, and give them much 

 valuable experience. 



The main rules governing the estab- 

 lishment of the Central Exchange, the 

 district agencies that compose it and the 

 growers' organizations that compose the 

 district associations are: 



The Central Exchange will have the 

 exclusive selling of all the fruit or prod- 

 ucts C'jntrolled by the district associa- 

 tion holding a membership in the central. 

 It will establish a sales system covering 

 all markets where it is practical to sell 

 the products of its members. It will 

 establish such rules and regulations as 

 are necessary for the proper caring for 

 and marketing of said products, also such 

 rules as are necessary for the maintain- 

 ing of uniform grades and packs, and for 

 the placing of the products of its mem- 

 bers on the market in the best and most 

 salable condition. It will maintain an 

 efficient system- of market and crop 

 reports. It will do such advertising as 

 is found necessary. It will strive to 

 eliminate all unnecessary- intermediate 

 expense wherever possible. The Central 



Exchange will be maintained by a sell- 

 ing charge of not to exceed ten cents a 

 box for apples, and on other products in 

 proportion to the cost. The name, Cen- 

 tral Exchange, and such trade mark or 

 brands as it may establish shall appear 

 in a prominent place on each package. 

 The products of each district shall be 

 marketed on their own merits. Each dis- 

 trict shall be given its proportionate 

 share of all markets. 



The district associations will have con- 

 trol over the grading and packing of the 

 products of its members. They will 

 employ a sufficient number of inspectors 

 to supervise grading, packing and load- 

 ing. The operating expenses of the dis- 

 trict associations will be met by a com- 

 mission charge on all products and sup- 

 plies handled. All profits derived from 

 charges made to members for the han- 

 dling of their products and supplies in 

 excess of the maximum amount decided 

 upon for the surplus fund, and all moneys 

 received from Central Exchange in the 

 form of profits from handling products 

 shall be distributed annually among the 

 members in proportion to the products 

 handled for them. The membership of 

 the district association shall consist of 

 growers' organizations. The affairs of 

 the district association shall be man- 

 aged by an executive committee of five 

 trustees. 



The growers' organization shall have 

 full charge of handling and preparing the
