ADDRESS TO FRUIT MEN Citrus Protective League Issues Important Circular As the season for the shipment of Navel oranges from California is approaching it is well that the attention of growers and shippers should be called to Food Inspection Decision No. 133, issued by the United States Department of Agriculture. The decision refers to "The Coloring of Green Citrus Fruits," and reads as follows: "The attention of the board of the Food and Drug Inspection has been directed to the shipment in interstate commerce of green, immature citrus fruits, particularly oranges, which have been artificially colored by holding in a warm, moist atmosphere for a short period of time after removal from the tree. Evidence is adduced showing that such oranges do not change in sugar or acid content after removal from the tree. Evidence further shows that the same oranges remaining on the tree increase markedly in sugar content and decrease in acid content. Further, there is evidence to show that the consumption of such immature oranges, especially by children, is apt to be attended by serious disturbances of the digestive system." "Under the food and drugs act of June 30, 1906, an article of food is adulterated, 'if it be mixed, colored, powdered, coated, or stained in a manner whereby damage or inferiority is concealed.' It is the opinion of the board that oranges treated as mentioned above are colored in a tion. With a rate of 25 to 30 cents a box from Southampton to New York, which is the usual rate on foreign citrus fruit, the South African grower, 10,000 miles distant can land oranges in the eastern United States at a lower cost of transportation than the grower in California. There is considerable activity in citrus fruit planting in Mexico. According to the Daily Trade and Consular Reports," Sept. 7, 1911. "The shipment of oranges from San Luis Potosí, Mexico, to Chicago will commence about September 20, 1911, and it is now estimated that a total of about 55 cars will cover the season's exports, as compared with 34 cars for last year. These oranges all come from the Rio Verde Valley, in the south-central part of the state. The freight from Rio Verde to Chicago is $1.25 gold per 100 pounds, and customs duty $1 gold per 100 pounds (which total $1.91 per 85 pound box) but they reach the American markets so early in the season that good prices are obtained." The exports of oranges from Spain in 1910 amounted to 1,051,764,067 lbs., from Italy 265,498,285 pounds, an equivalent from both countries of more than 55,000 carloads of California oranges. More than 50 per cent of the Spanish oranges are shipped to the United Kingdom, and from 15 to 20 per cent go both to France and to Germany. The exports of oranges from Spain have increased 67.2 per cent in the last ten years. The freight rate on Spanish oranges to the United States is about 30 cents a box. The exports of oranges from Jaffa in 1910 amounted to 900,000 cases,va drawn the fruit from New York where has been unusually low tino, a prominent New importer is quoted as some of the exporters probably not permit them in New York at a box wholesale on prices in Germany and where, in referring to Sciortino states "that are willing to pay more prices than can be owed American markets." G. HAROLD Secretary Los Angeles, Cal., ASK INCREASED Beetgrowers Meet and Pay for Prices One hundred beet plants sia and Los Alamitos meeting at Artesia, lution petitioning their tee of the beet grow California to stand for at least $1 a ton in beets. They feel that money invested, a large count, and are exp risk in planting and beets than the facto duction of sugar there at least one-fourth o afforded by the tariff ment of the beet ind. The growers promise are given fair consider render assistance powerwise for the dev industry. The beet industry there is evidence to show that the consumption of such immature oranges, especially by children, is apt to be attended by serious disturbances of the digestive system." "Under the food and drugs act of June 30, 1906, an article of food is adulterated, 'if it be mixed, colored, powdered, coated, or stained in a manner whereby damage or inferiority is concealed.' It is the opinion of the board that oranges treated as mentioned above are colored in a manner whereby inferiority is concealed, and are, therefore, adulterated. "The board recognizes the fact that certain varieties of oranges attain maturity as to size, sweetness, and acidity before the color changes from green to yellow, and this decision is not intended to interfere with the marketing of such oranges." It is the evident intention of the government to make it unlawful to ship into interstate commerce green oranges that are unfit to eat but which are colored by sweating to give them an appearance of ripeness. In this connection the attention of our growers and shippers is called to the first section of the "Green Fruit Law," which recently became effective in the state of Florida. It reads as follows: "Section 1. That it shall be unlawful for any one to sell, offer for sale, ship or deliver, for shipment any citrus fruits which are immature or otherwise unfit for consumption, and for any one to receive any such fruits under a contract of sale, or for the purpose of sale, or of offering for sale, or for shipment or delivery shipment. This section shall not apply to sales or contracts for sales of citrus fruits on the trees under this section; nor shall it apply to common carriers or their agents who are not interested in such fruits, and who are merely receiving the same for transportation." From this section of the Florida law and the agitation that now prevails in that state, it is apparent that Florida is preparing to take an active hand during the present season in the endeavor to prevent the shipment of immature fruit from the state. The state of Florida has also made it unlawful to place upon any citrus package or fruit wrapper any statement which contains false or misleading information regarding the name, size, quality, brand or locality in which the fruit is grown. In the case of a shipment of oranges, labeled "Pineapple Oranges" from Floridanalent from both countries of more than 55,000 carloads of California oranges. More than 50 per cent of the Spanish oranges are shipped to the United Kingdom, and from 15 to 20 per cent go both to France and Germany. The exports of oranges from Spain have increased 67.2 per cent in the last ten years. The freight rate on Spanish oranges to the United States is about 30 cents a box. The exports of oranges from Jaffa in 1910 amounted to 900,000 cases, valued at $1,136,794. Most of these oranges are shipped to the United Kingdom with smaller quantities to Russia and Egypt. The exports of mandarin oranges from Japan in 1909 amounted to 22,245,897 pounds. More than half a million pounds were shipped from Japan to the United States in 1909. The exports of mandarin oranges from Japan have increased 605 per cent in the last ten years. Every orange producing country in the world is interested in the effort of the importers of lemons in New York and the exporters in Sicily to have the duty removed from citrus fruits. We may expect that each of these countries, which pays a low wage to labor and a low rate of transportation, will prepare to ship its citrus fruits to the United States if a low rate of duty should be established. There has been an unusual demand for lemons in European countries during the year 1911. This demand has been increasing steadily for 10 years and in 1911 it has had a marked effect on the international shipment of lemons. The California crop in 1910-11 is the largest in the history of the state. Nearly twice as much fruit has been shipped into eastern markets as in 1909-1910 and the large increase over the crop of the preceding year has reduced the price of lemons to an unusually low level. Heretofore, the eastern markets have been controlled by the importers of Italian lemons and each year since 1885, the wholesale price has been forced at some period during the summer months to $6 to $12.50 per box. On account of the increase in the California crop in 1911 and the freer shipment of the fruit to eastern markets the wholesale price of 132,738 boxes of Italian lemons in New York in August, 1911, averaged about $2.60 a box, an average of less than 10 cents per dozen. There is a duty equivalent to one civalent from both countries of more than 55,000 carloads of California oranges. More than 50 per cent of the Spanish oranges are shipped to the United Kingdom, and from 15 to 20 per cent go both to France and Germany. The exports of oranges from Spain have increased 67.2 per cent in the last ten years. The freight rate on Spanish oranges to the United States is about 30 cents a box. The exports of mandarin oranges from Japan in 1909 amounted to 22,245,897 pounds. More than half a million pounds were shipped from Japan to the United States in 1909. The exports of mandarin oranges from Japan have increased 605 per cent in the last ten years. These factories revestment of five onlars, and if run at grind next year 760,000 and make 2,200,000 worth at present price. To produce these b will have more than tended in farms, horses. The beets run high garr, and the farmers for mutual benefit ment of the industry. A TIMELY SU State School Superintendent would Bring Toges The Superintendent's construction is sending ous county superintendent state a proposed plan lines of communica schools. He offers office at Sacramento monthly periodical information and co-state office; and paythe county superintendent with advice, runsof his own print office; and then thtto the trustees and county. This scheme possibilities for an ambitious superintendent people all at once his work. It gives initiative to an eneit it ought to meet w general response. Florida is preparing to take an active hand during the present season in the endeavor to prevent the shipment of immature fruit from the state. The state of Florida has also made it unlawful to place upon any citrus package or fruit wrapper any statement which contains false or misleading information regarding the name, size, quality, brand or locality in which the fruit is grown. In the case of a shipment of oranges, labeled "Pineapple Oranges" from Florida into Louisiana, the United States department of agriculture has recently decided that the shipment was misleading and therefore in violation of the national food and drugs act, because the oranges "were not of that grade commercially known as 'pineapple oranges' but consisted of other and inferior grades." A citrus fruit grower from the Transvaal has recently been in California studying the methods of handling the California citrus fruit crop, and to secure appliances to be used in the handling of the crop in the Transvaal. They are beginning to ship oranges from the Transvaal to the United Kingdom in considerable quantities during the summer months, the season when the fruit ripens in that country. The haul by rail to the South African coast, usually to Cape Town, may reach a distance of 1000 miles. According to data furnished by the grower mentioned the fruit is being carried by the railroads during the present season to the point of export at the rate of 15 shillings per ton (13.1 cents per box of California size); it costs 5 shillings per ton (4.4 cents per box) for dock dues and loading charges and 25 shillings per ton (22 cents per box) to Southampton, a distance of 6000 miles, making a total cost of transportation of 39.5 cents per box of California size for a distance that may equal 7000 miles. The fruit is carried the entire distance without refrigeration. There is a duty equivalent to one cent per pound on citrus fruits in Australia; 1.84 cents maximum and a free conventional duty on lemons, and 2.2 cents on oranges in Austria-Hungary; 79-100 of a cent on oranges and lemons in Belgium; 79-100 of a cent in Denmark; 1 3-4 cents in Finland; 1.3 cents maximum and 44-100 of a cent minimum in France; 1.3 cents maximum on oranges and lemons, 35-100 of a cent minimum on oranges and a free conventional duty on lemons in Germany; 2.43 cents maximum and 24-100 of a cent minimum in Norway; 44-100 of a cent maximum and 44-100 minimum in Roumania; 2.25 cents maximum and 1.42 minimum in Russia; and 1.21 cents in Sweden. There is no duty on citrus fruits in Argentine, Canada, England, or Switzerland. With the exception of Australia which produces citrus fruits these duties are levied for revenue only. Mexico formerly granted a bounty of 85 cents per 1000 lemons, and $1 per thousand on oranges exported to encourage the planting of these fruits; and Italy fixes a minimum price to be paid the producer for citrate of lime into which 40 percent of the Italian lemon crop is converted, and fixes a minimum selling price as well.

G. HAROLD POWELL, Secretary and Manager. Los Angeles, Cal., Oct. 17, 1911. ASK INCREASED PRICES Beetgrowers Meet and Demand More Pay for Product One hundred beet growers of Artesia and Los Alamitos at a recent meeting at Artesia, adopted a resolution petitioning the central committee of the beet growers of Southern California to stand for an increase of at least $1 a ton in the price of the beets. They feel that since they have money invested, a larger expense account, and are exposed to greater risk in planting and growing sugarbeets than the factories in the production of sugar they are entitled to at least one-fourth of the protection afforded by the tariff for the development of the beet industry. The growers promise that if they are given fair consideration they will render assistance politically and otherwise for the development of the industry. The beet industry of Southern California paign in about two weeks. Its first season has been remarkably successful. The factory has lost no time by the mishaps and delays which are usual to sugar factories, during their first run. It has sliced an average of about eight hundred tons of beets a day and has met every requirement of the beet growers whose accrage was under contract. It has demonstrated its absolute reliability and its first year's record in this county is one of which it may well be proud. S. W. Sinsheimer, the company's general superintendent, is now at Swink, Colorado, where the sugar factory will shortly begin its campaign. The beet growing season in Colorado is about three months later than that in Southern California. 100,000 TREES FOR SOUTHLAND Largest Quantity of Foliage Ever Set Out Here is Plan of Rangers The largest quantity of trees ever set out by the government in this forest district will be planted by the federal forest service immediately after the next rain. More than 60,000 eucalyptus trees will be placed along the foothills back of San Bernardino and San Fernando, and preparations are under way for the planting of 40,000 conifer pines in the Santa Ana river water shed near Seven Oaks. This is a new nursery set aside for that purpose by the government this year and is to be known as the Converse Flats forest. Cultivation of virgin timber has been practiced by the forest service in this section only a few years, although experiments have been in seeds planted by the Spanish invaders some three hundred years ago. Be that as it may the trees are standing near the town of Manzano, which is the Spanish word for apple, and in the vicinity of the old ruins of Cuara, Abo and Grand Quivira. And it must be admitted that the apples that will be exhibited from these trees at the Denver show will be a classy display. Legend has it that the original settlers were driven out of the country or killed by the Comanche Indians and other tribes of savages that infested that section. When the Mexicans re-settled the country about one hundred years ago they found the trees still standing and bearing fruit, and they named the town Manzano. So the fact is undisputed that the trees are at least more than one hundred years old. The management of the apple carnival has decided to hold a Garden of Eden wedding one night during the show. The given name of the groom must be Adam and that of the bride, Eve. If such a couple can be found in any state on the American continent, the ceremony will be performed on a stage in the center of the big auditorium where it will be witnessed by 12,000 people, which is the capacity of the building. The couple will be given a handsome wedding present and also will be presented with the apples from the trees which are said, by some people, to have stood in the Garden of Eden. DAYS OF OLD, DAYS OF GOLD Forty-Nine Camp to Be Revived at San Diego Fair count, and are exposed to greater risk in planting and growing sugar-beets than the factories in the production of sugar they are entitled to at least one-fourth of the protection afforded by the tariff for the development of the beet industry. The growers promise that if they are given fair consideration they will render assistance politically and otherwise for the development of the industry. The beet industry of Southern California is assuming huge proportions. Nearly all the beets are raised in the valley that lies between Compton and Huntington Beach. Seven factories with a total of 7600 tons, will draw on this territory next year, with the following tons capacity daily: Oxnard 3000, Chino 1000, Los Alamitos 1000, Huntington Beach 800, Santa Ana 600, the Co-operative factory at Santa Ana 600, Anaheim 600. These factories represent an investment of five or six million dollars, and if run at full capacity will grind next year 760,000 tons of beets and make 2,200,000 sacks of sugar worth, at present prices, $15,000,000. To produce these beets the farmers will have more than $30,000,000 invested in farms, horses and equipment. The beets run high in purity and sugar, and the farmers are organizing for mutual benefit and the development of the industry. A TIMELY SUGGESTION State School Superintendent Hyatt Would Bring Schools Nearer Together The Superintendent of Public Instruction is sending out to the various county superintendents of the state a proposed plan for improving lines of communication among the schools. He offers to issue from his office at Sacramento a quarterly or monthly periodical, partly filled with information and counsel from the state office; and partly left blank for the county superintendent to complete with advice, rulings or new notes of his own, printed at some local office; and then the whole sent out to the trustees and teachers of his county. This scheme has in it great possibilities for an enterprising and ambitious superintendent to reach his people all at once and to systematize his work. It gives opportunity and initiative to an energetic officer, and it ought to meet with a prompt and general response. HAS NEW PRESIDENT along the foothills back of San Bernardino and San Fernando, and preparations are under way for the planting of 40,000 conifer pines in the Santa Ana river water shed near Seven Oaks. This is a new nursery set aside for that purpose by the government this year and is to be known as the Converse Flats forest. Cultivation of virgin timber has been practiced by the forest service in this section only a few years, although experiments have been in progress for a decade. The government has deemed it expedient to abandon pine tree cultivation in the lowlands, as it has been demonstrated that this class of timber thrives only in the higher altitudes. The nursery plants this year will require more than 200 acres of ground. DENVER'S APPLE SHOW Colorado City Preparing for Exposition of Products. (Correspondence of The Gazette) Denver, Colo., Oct. 15.—One hundred million dollars in agricultural and horticultural products will be represented in the mammoth industrial parade that will take place in Denver the first day of apple show week in November. By this is meant that the sum just mentioned is the total annual output of these two industries in Colorado, and the grand pageant will be indicative of these resources. Mining countries are also invited to participate. While the exposition is primarily intended to be an exhibition of apples produced in Colorado and other states in America, a grand carnival will also be held and the management has invited every county in the state to participate in the industrial parade. Denver is proud of the apple industry in Colorado, but her people are equally proud of the great agricultural industry, and they believe the time is opportune for the counties that do not produce apples in commercial quantities, but which are rich in grain and grasses and other products, to unite in a display of their resources in a magnificent pageant that will eclipse anything that has ever been seen in the city. Colorado has made wonderful strides in the last ten years in the way of agricultural advancement and development. The carnival committee believes that nothing can be so impressive as an industrial parade in which every county, including the mining districts, will take part. Theof the big auditorium where it will be witnessed by 12,000 people, which is the capacity of the building. The couple will be given a handsome wedding present and also will be presented with the apples from the trees which are said, by some people, to have stood in the Garden of Eden. DAYS OF OLD, DAYS OF GOLD Forty-Nine Camp to Be Revived at San Diego Fair (Correspondence of The Gazette) San Diego, Oct. 17.—To revive the "Days of Old, TheDays of Gold, and the Days of Forty-Nine," is the proposal of Sam P. Davis of Nevada, made to the Panama-California international exposition company in a letter in which he asks for acreage upon which to construct a replica of Yankee Bar, Red Dog, Hangtown, Poverty Flat, Yuba Dam and the old-time California mining camps. Sam Davis is naught when he is not unique. Contemporary of Bret Harte and Mark Twain, humorist,veteran journalist, politician,ranch owner, known in every club and newspaper office in the world he is now having plans prepared for one of the most spectacular "stunts" of his life. Davis proposes to have a "gulch," a real "placer diggin'" where a visitor to the exposition may wash out a little gold dust of his own, provided he knows how to operate a "rocker" or a "pan." The vision of some of the surviving Argonauts of the Fories returning to the gravel banks of half a century ago is interesting to say the least. Other features Sam proposes are a dance hall, real old time shooting up affrays, faro banks, roulette wheels, everything in full-blast just as it was in the days when men washed fortunes out of the sand bars of the Feather and American rivers in the day time and spent them on the beauties of the dance hall and on the gambling lay outs of the saloons at night. A daily stage coach is another feature. A collection of historical objects in actual use in the "Forty-nine Camp" will be onother attraction. Altogether the whole feature will be one of the most interesting things at the exposition. Sam Davis expects to spend the next three years gathering the material and the curios for the camp. It will occupy acres of land, one of the deep canyons of the exposition site and will be one of the big outdoor features of the exposition. Director General Collier has asked for detailed plans from Davis and is HAS NEW PRESIDENT W. M. Wiley Resigns as Head of Holly Sugar Company W. M. Wiley has resigned the position of president of the Holly sugar company, one of whose three sugar factories is located near Huntington Beach, and has also withdrawn from the company's directorate. He is succeeded by Robert W. Kelly, a leading business man of New York City, who will visit the factory in a few days. Mr. Wiley expects to devote his time to the interests of the Arkansas Valley irrigated lands company, whose headquarters are at Holly, Colorado, and which has the largest irrigation system in the world, conducted by private enterprise. His health has been unable to stand the strain of the management of both the companies, of which he was the head. Mr. Wiley's retirement from the sugar company will be universally regretted by his hundreds of friends on this coast, to whom his exceptional ability, genial disposition and high character have greatly endeared him. Should he decide to have no further business connections in Southern California, the decision will mean a distinct loss to the section, as he is a man of remarkable energy, whose interest always meant much to the commercial advancement of the county. The Holly Sugar factory expects to close the present season's cam- are rich in grain and grasses and other products, to unite in a display of their resources in a magnificent pageant that will eclipse anything that has ever been seen in the city. Colorado has made wonderful strides in the last ten years in the way of agricultural advancement and development. The carnival committee believes that nothing can be so impressive as an industrial parade in which every county, including the mining districts, will take part. The effect upon the people of Denver and visitors from other states cannot be estimated. It should be understood that the apple show is a national affair. Apple exhibits will be here from the leading apple states in America. Many thousands of dollars will be awarded in prizes and premiums, and from an educational standpoint to apple growers the value of the show cannot be calculated. The industrial parade committee announces that most of the counties have signified their intention of preparing floats and the others are at work interesting their people with the same end in view. Prizes will be given for the best and most artistic floats from the counties outside of Denver. The Garden of Eden was located in New Mexico and some of the original apple trees are still standing. This is the claim made by many people of one of the newest states in the union, and New Mexico is making considerable noise about the matter recently due to the activity in the apple districts of that state in preparation for the American apple exposition which will be held in Denver the week of November 12. Apples from these trees will be exhibited at the show. Of course the counter claim is made that the aforesaid apple trees were planted or rather grew from the "Forty-nine Camp" will be another attraction. Altogether the whole feature will be one of the most interesting things at the exposition. Sam Davis expects to spend the next three years gathering the material and the curios for the camp. It will occupy acres of land, one of the deep canyons of the exposition site and will be one of the big outdoor features of the exposition. Director General Collier has asked for detailed plans from Davis and is very anxious to have the camp in case Sam Davis will manage it, as he certain that under Davis' hands it will be of historical value as well as of such a nature that the most timid tenderfoot will be perfectly safe inside the camp day or night. Features of the exposition are coming in so fast that the 400 acre site will be filled with the most unique and beautiful exhibits ever arranged. Over 1,000,000 plants are being propagated at the present time for transplanting in the exposition grounds, it being the intention to give the exposition the finest horticultural display ever shown in America. CONGENIAL Really modern couples are just as apt to be truly mated as the old-fashioned art of which we read about in the romances. A young Cleveland who is often described as a "man about town" became engaged not long ago, and he spoke as follows to the lady who had honored him: "I don't want to have anything that I must hide after we are married, dear. So I may as well tell you that I play poker, I smoke cigarettes, I drink. I stay out late and I bet on the races." "I'm glad to hear you say so," said the up-to-date girl, brightly. "I was so afraid that you and I wouldn't be perfect companions." THE FIRST NATIONAL BANK OF ANAHEIM United States Depository for the Postal Savings System Capital, $50,000.
