Ozark apple growers urged to form self help marketing body
Louis Erb of Cedar Gap Missouri argues for a Ozark apple growers organization to standardize grades for Nos 1 and 2, promote Ozark apples on flavor, secure fair freight and icing, and act as a selling agency while letting members choose whether to sell through it. He favors advance dues and a broad information bureau, aims to improve prices and shipping, and hopes to elevate growers through cooperative action.
