Poor attended a meeting and banquet for the district men of the Stewart Fruit Co. at Los Angeles a few days ago. Most coast districts where the company operates were represented, and reports very satisfactory to the officers were turned in. It was shown that the company's shipments showed a considerable increase over the preceding year, and this in spite of the serious car shortage, frosts, and winds and poor market during part of the season. The Stewart Company lost over 1000 carloads of deciduous fruits on account of lack or cars. Then they voluntarily sacrificed the handling and commissions on several hundred cars of Oregon peaches which they had under contract, and advised the growers to sell canneries, when Eastern markets did not promise as good returns to hite growers. The same thing was done on several hundred cars California peaches. This is a fixed policy of the company, and several thousand growers on the hour. The well was completed at 3903 feet.
