EAST TEXAS FRUIT
GROWERS ASSOCIATION.
----------

     Geo. S. Cousins has returned from Jacksonville where he went to attend the meeting of the east Texas fruit growers association. There were about four hundred in attendance at the meeting, and through the kind offices of Leroy Trice of the I. & G. N., a delegation of thirty practical fruit and truck growers will be given free transportation to California for the purpose of observing the methods of packing and shipping fruit in use by the growers of that state. By this visit it is expected that information can be gained in a short time that would require years to learn at home. Mr. Cousins was requested to go as the representative from this county, but being unable to do so on account of illness in his family, has designated F. W. Stallworth as his alternate.
