But it could not legally do that, because that would be against the anti-trust laws. Also, the govern- ment thought it would be wise to take the growers in in some way, to get their “confidence.” ‘What the government organized was the Growers’ Agency. This organiza- tion now covers all the fruit districts of the Pacific Northwest. It is not a selling agency. The government pro- vides it with fruit crop reports and lists every car of fruit sold daily and reports prices to all agencies. It is hoped that this will give accurate in- formation to all fruit middlemen, whether co-operative growers' com- panies or private fruit exchanges, enabling them to hold back or sell, as the market demands, and prevent un- necessary competition and slashing of prices such as impoverished the growers in 1912 and 1914. In addition the Growers’ agency is doing many things" that were never done before, through lack of co-operation among selling agencies—such as development and investigation of new markets, ad- ADVERTISEMENTS ONEIDA The New Red Raspberry Hardy everywhere.

The govern- ment has rejected the theory, or found it impracticable, of developing Brow- ers’ co-operative effort in handling the crop at cost to producers. The Grow- ers’ agency is managed by a “neutral” board of trustees of 11, of which five must be fruit growers and five selling agents, the 10 choosing an eleventh man. To belong to the agency and be- come members of the board, growers must be “active” members and pay $100 a year, the same fee that is charged selling agents.
