      abstract = {Excerpt:  Citrus-fruit growers of California have been  marketing their fruit cooperatively for over 30 years.  The  stability of the cooperative associations that form the  California Fruit Growers Exchange and the success with  which they have solved various complex marketing problems  make a study of the federation of more than usual value.   The organization and development of the exchange have been  described in an earlier bulletin.

Other marketing costs are treated briefly.},
