Nov, IB was mentioned yesterday as the probable date for actual functioning of the new program to regulate Interstate shipments.

This means that less than a month remains for the nomination and final selection of committeemen. ONE COMMITTEE A new seven-man committee will supplant the two committees that controlled the old prorate, which became ineffective under pressure of the bloo last December. Marketing organizations will have six committeemen, who will seleot a seventh neutral member. More to the advantage of the California Fruit Growers exchange than the old program was, the plan gives three committee posts to "the cooperative handling more than 60 per cent of the California-Arizona crop." Only one committeeman can represent "the cooperative handling less than CO per cent," which is Mutual Orange Distributors. The Independents are entitled to two representatives.

8ECRETARY TO SELECT For each of the committee places, two men shall be nominated. The U. I. secretary of agriculture will make the final selections. It was Paul 8.

Armstrong, general manager of the exchange, who jruessed yesterday that the prorate would be ready to operate by Nov. IB. "It win hv be set up by then," he said, "to control the first movement of California navel oranges. It la the apparent purpose to have the prorate in operation in time to affect the first shipments from central California," Newly-returned from Washington, D. O.i Mr.

Armstrong appeared pleased with the prorate prospect. ARMSTRONG. HAPPY "It will keep our fruit moving into the markets in an orderly manner," he said. "This regulation is even more necessary this coming season because of the many other problems labor, materials, eto. that the citrus Industry will confront.

"I am pleased," he said, "with the outstanding vote that favored the prorate. He referred to the government's announcement that 82.9 per cent of California-Arizona growers had voted for the program in the recent referendum. This, he said, Is more than the exchange percentage of oranges, Indicating that non-exchange growers also favored the plan. Old prorate committees apparently will have no further function except to liquidate their organization, it was stated. (POLITICAL ADVERTISEMENT) Need This Man ARMSTRONG In Sacramento DOUGLAS P.
