Clarence W. Moomaw, in charge of the foreign market investigations of the bureau of markets of the department of agriculture, made the following statement regarding Batebam's trip to the Orient:
"An effort will be made throughout the investigation to relate the work as closely as possible in practical ways to the organized activities of those producers and shippers who are most interested in the market development work which is expected to follow. For this purpose, Mr. Bateham and myself already have held extensive conferences with fruit shippers representing very large percentage of the fruit shippers of California and the Pacific northwest. As the result of these conferences, the specific phases of the investigation have been outlined thoroughly so that Mr. Bateham goes to the foreign field with a very definite and practical program of work.
The conference has resulted in definite plans on the part of the shippers in taking immediate advantage of such opportunities as the investigation may reveal."
