Eastern buyers bluff on Wenatchee growers plan
Eastern buyers show no urge to place orders with Wenatchee Valley Fruit Growers Association for another year. They claim a fruit glut and expect to secure early fruit independently. P P Holcomb returns from Minneapolis reporting no reason for association to yield to eastern terms. He predicts local output can be sold locally without the commission plan. The general outlook is bright and the year’s large crop should proceed smoothly.
