"Through the show the business men of Provo will aim to stimulate and encourage the farmers' co-operative organizations in the standardizing standard-izing of the quality and pack of the apples grown in the county. "The business men realize that the co-operative marketing of fruits will not succeed unless definite rules for the standardizing and the putting put-ting out of a high quality be made and strictly adhered to."
