LIFE OF CITRUS INDUSTRY IS CO-OPERATION WHY GROWERS SHOULD ASSOCIATE IN SELLING FOR THEIR OWN PROTECTION GREAT CROPS GROWN IN FOREIGN LANDS LOOKING FOR MARKETS HERE G. Harold Powell, manager of the California Fruit Growers' Exchange, addressed the Covina Orange Growers' Association at Covina recently on subjects of unusual importance to the growers. "There are in California," he said, "150,000 acres of oranges and 25,000 acres of lemons, bearing and non-bearing. The total investment in this acreage aggregates $1,000 an acre. Combined with the investment in the lands, an additional investment in packing-houses and other facilities for marketing the fruit brings the total investment of orange and lemon growers in the State of California up to $175,-000,000. It costs $1,000 an acre to bring orange and lemon orchards into bearing. This is actual capital invested." "There are 90,000 acres on which water has been developed that are available and practicable for lemon-growing in California. This acreage is not yet planted. It lies in the San Fernando Valley, the Covina Valley, the much to care for our groves. California growers pay $165 per acre for the care of orchards, outside of picking. They pay $200 for lemon groves. Contrary to the ideas of many, it is a fact that the citrus growers who spend the greatest amount of money per acre for the care of groves are the growers who produce fruit per box cheaper than others who spend less money on the groves. "The tillage and care in foreign countries are not so intense. There are many groves in the Valencia district of Spain that approach, in a sense, the condition acquired by California groves under intensive culture, but the greater acreage in foreign countries is farmed less intelligently and yields proportionately less. Marketing Systems "The stability of the crops on the lands makes property values. Nearly all agricultural crops, such as wheat, cotton, butter, eggs, poultry, are handled on a speculative basis. The citrus crop, where it is handled through the California Fruit Growers' Exchange, is handled on a merchandising basis. In the Spanish system, the entire crop of 40,000 carloads is purchased by European dealers who send representatives to Palermo and other cities, and who often combine on a single representative, who deals with the growers. This system of speculation has greatly depressed the Spanish citrus industry, and at times has faced it with a return of a loss of an entire year's crop. The Spanish government has lately taken up this phase of the citrus industry, and co-operative bodies are being formed, which are similar to in many respects and modeled after the California Fruit Growers' Exchange. "The 50,000 carloads in Italy are handled by from seventy-five to 100 exporters, who represent the great fruit-heads of departmental Fruit Growers' purpose of learning system for orange plies, and they leftilar marketing systems done for the orange interested because out money all overington on apple leaves are very much in apples can be sold.

It was history of agriculture gotten together wwing a market. "At the present," the California B 200 bonded agent United States and England, and the ed through this system merchandising ba who has been elploiter. No legiti been dropped; he oranges; but the r marketing the fruit brings the total investment of orange and lemon growers in the State of California up to $175,000,000. It costs $1,000 an acre to bring orange and lemon orchards into bearing. This is actual capital invested. “There are 90,000 acres on which water has been developed that are available and practicable for lemon-growing in California. This acreage is not yet planted. It lies in the San Fernando Valley, the Covina Valley, the Orange county newly-developed territory, and in the middle and northern part of the State. There are 10,000 acres in one tract in the Sacramento Valley, near Willows, now available for lemon-planting. The foothills of the Sierra Nevada and the Sierra Madre will at some time be made to grow mountains, now practically untouched, lemons more prolifically than the mountain-slopes of Aetna and the Sicilian terraced hills. “The last three years we have shipped from California oranges and lemons: 1910, 50,000 carloads; 1911, 40,000 carloads; 1912, 47,000 carloads. The outlook for the coming year is that we will ship 50,000 carloads, or more. “Florida produces 13,000 carloads of citrus fruits, Spain exports 40,000 carloads, or one billion pounds; Italy, 10,000 carloads of oranges, 50,000 carloads of lemons, one-third of which comes to this country; Japan, 1,000 carloads of oranges; Cuba, 1,500 carloads of oranges (industry is decreasing in Cuba); Jaffa, 1,200 carloads; Jamaica, 600 carloads; Porto Rico, 800 carloads. “This makes about 166,000 carloads of citrus fruits produced in the world, of which California produces, speaking roughly, about one-third. California produces 80 per cent of the citrus fruits raised in America.” Powell, who succeeded B. A. Woodford as manager of this great marketing system, was formerly at the head of the United States Bureau of Plant Industry. He has just returned from a visit to every Eastern agency of the exchange, and is now confronting the duties of moving the winter navel crop. Touching upon the comparative labor question, the speaker said that labor in the citrus groves of California is paid for at the rate of from $2.25 to $2.75 per day; in Spain, 40 cents a day; Italy, 50 cents; Cuba, 50 cents; Porto Rico, 75 cents. It costs the California grower 85 cents a box, he said, to get his citrus fruits transported by the railroads to the Eastern markets exclusive of refrigeration. Spain pays 30 cents a case to all principal points. A case holds two and one-half boxes of the California algae. The apple crop The apple crop in Oregon, Washington and Colorado came in for discussion and Powell pointed out that up until this year the apple crop this side of the Rocky Mountains has not exceeded 8,000 carloads, but the great crop this year, which found the grower with many apples and no marketing system, has tended to make him see the necessity for co-operation. Because the apple crop was enormous, the speculators, on whom the appleraisers have relied to buy their fruit, are very careful about buying, if they buy at all. Only the very best of the Pacific Coast apples, the cream of the crop, has been marketed this year, while all over the Pacific Coast, the warehouses are full and bursting with second-grade apples, for which there is no market whatever. Speculators are afraid to buy fruit on their own responsibility in times when the crop is large, and the very time when the farmer should be getting wealthy is the time when he is allowed to watch his fruit rotting for the want of a market, according to the speaker, who continued: “The system of speculation has greatly depressed the Spanish citrus industry, and at times has faced it with a return of a loss of an entire year’s crop. The Spanish government has lately taken up this phase of the citrus industry, and co-operative bodies are being formed, which are similar to in many respects and modeled after the California Fruit Growers’ Exchange. “The 50,000 carloads in Italy are handled by from seventy-five to 100 exporters, who represent the great fruit-buying concerns of the world. The result of such a marketing system is that the market is always violently fluctuating—that it is the most unstable fruit market in the world. No dependency whatever can be placed upon it, and the grower of the fruit is the one who always suffers. This is the speculative system. “Italy and Sicily import 150,000,000 pounds of lemons into the United States each year, all of which is sold east of Chicago, and on a speculative basis. The entire crop is sold at auction. When the importers thought that the frost of last year had destroyed the California lemon crop, they rushed many extra shiploads of fruit into this country, only to find that our own lemons were in the market, and the result was that the foreign lemon-growers lost heavily last year, as the lemon market was glutted by this hasty action. Not for ten years was the grower of Italy and Sicily so badly demoralized.” The Apple Crop The apple crop in Oregon, Washington and Colorado came in for discussion and Powell pointed out that up until this year the apple crop this side of the Rocky Mountains has not exceeded 8,000 carloads, but the great crop this year, which found the grower with many apples and no marketing system, has tended to make him see the necessity for co-operation. Because the apple crop was enormous, the speculators on whom the appleraisers have relied to buy their fruit are very careful about buying, if they buy at all.

Speculators are afraid to buy fruit on their own responsibility in times when the crop is large, and the very time when the farmer should be getting wealthy is the time when he is allowed to watch his fruit rotting for the want of a market, according to the speaker, who continued: “At the present “the California has 200 bonded agents United States and England, and they ed through this siphoning business who has been elopliter. No legitimacy been dropped; he or oranges; but the new market to this grower and he been eliminated,” “There are 6,500 belong to the California Exchange.

He spoke this matter is to show that coming State appropriation from $100,000 for building land is to be asked investigation being Shamel at Riverside experiments are to test to the citrus grower. The annual report Orange Growers’ At this meeting,showing distributioners during the pa- question, the speaker said that labor in the citrus groves of California is paid for at the rate of from $2.25 to $2.75 per day; in Spain, 40 cents a day; Italy, 50 cents; Cuba, 50 cents; Porto Rico, 75 cents. It costs the California grower 85 cents a box, he said, to get his citrus fruits transported by the railroads to the Eastern markets exclusive of refrigeration. Spain pays 30 cents a case to all principal points. A case holds two and one-half boxes of the California size. Practically all transportation is by water. Italy also transports by water, at a cost of 25 cents the case. Other Expense Greater "It costs, as a whole," continued Powell, "from two to four times as crop, has been marketed this year, while all over the Pacific Coast, the warehouses are full and bursting with second-grade apples, for which there is no market whatever. Speculators are afraid to buy fruit on their own responsibility in times when the crop is large, and the very time when the farmer should be getting wealthy is the time when he is allowed to watch his fruit rotting for the want of a market, according to the speaker, who continued: "Therefore, the northwest has become vitally concerned as to how to maintain the values of the lands. A group of bankers from Seattle came from that city to Los Angeles this fall and held long conferences with the Wishing You One and All A Happy New Year Frank N. Gibbs, Prop'r Gibbs Lumber Company ANAHEIM GAZETTE heads of departments of the California Fruit Growers' Exchange, for the purpose of learning if the marketing system for oranges is adaptable for apples, and they left convinced that similar marketing systems can be established to do for the apple what it has done for the orange. The bankers were interested because they have loaned out money all over Oregon and Washington on apple lands, and these loans are very much in danger, unless the apples can be sold at a profit each year. Over 50,000 carloads of apples will be shipped out of these States in a few years, as soon as the vast acreage now non-bearing begins to bear, providing that a marketing system is introduced that will handle the crop." Manager Powell called attention to the fact that fifteen years ago the orange industry of California was in the same position as are now the Oregon and Washington apple growers. As the acreage increased the prices went down, and, with the market entirely dependent upon margin speculators, the grower was completely at the mercy of an unscrupulous system. These were the red-ink days. The first co-operative association was formed at Pachappa, near Riverside, for the purpose of assembling the fruit. It was the first time in the history of agriculture that farmers had gotten together with the idea of creating a market. "At the present time," said Powell, "the California Fruit Exchange has 200 bonded agents, scattered over the United States and Canada, and even in England, and the oranges are marketed through this system strictly on the merchandising basis. The only man who has been eliminated is the exploiter.

"There are 6,500 fruit growers who belong to the California Fruit Growers' Exchange. They are grouped into communities, where associations are maintained, principally on the non-profit sharing basis, and these associations prepare fruit for shipment. There are 115 of these local associations. These have been federated into district exchanges, having one, two or more associations to represent, and these exchanges represent the grower on the board of directorate of the California Fruit Growers' Exchange. There are seventeen of these exchanges. The central body is situated in Los Angeles, and is a co-operative, non-profit-sharing body, doing a business of $20,000,000 per year on a paid-up capital of $1,700, the latter figure being the original paid-up capital. "The result of this system is that the cars of fruit are always in the market where people wish to buy them. The exchange, through its system of bonded agents, is in touch with every condition in every city. A great advertising fund is appropriated every year, and the "Sunkist" brands are exploited all over the United States and Canada. I have just finished a 15,000 mile trip, and find that not a single agent has been changed or suspended in the past year." Powell finished with an earnest plea for the support of the rancher in establishing scientific citrus experiment stations. He spoke of the fact that this matter is to be passed upon by the coming State Legislature, and an appropriation from State funds of $100,000 for buildings and $60,000 for land is to be asked. He told of the investigation being carried on by A. D. Shamel at Riverside, and how these experiments are to be made invaluable to the citrus grower. The annual report of the Covina Orange Growers' Association, read at this meeting, shows that the association has distributed net, to the growers during the past year, $286,368.16. The association shinned 218,618 boxes. When the irrigation district was first organized it comprised land in both San Diego and San Bernardino counties. Later changes were made in its contour and at this time it comprises only land lying in Riverside county. Efforts were made by individual land owners within the district to defeat the payment of the bond account but after long litigation was not allowed. It was alleged on the part of these intervenors that the irrigation district was never legally organized; that pretended proceedings were had with the object of organizing the district; that the Board of Supervisors of San Bernardino county acted without jurisdiction and the proceedings relating to the formation of the district were void and without effect; that certain persons assumed to be officers of the irrigation district when they were not; that such alleged officers had abandoned their claim and removed from the district; that the district so formed had never issued the bonds in question, or in fact any bonds at all for any purposes. The arguments advanced in favor of the intervenors related to questions of jurisdiction and pleas of abatement. The irrigation district was organized March 7, 1887.

CALIFORNIA'S MINERAL OUTPUT Year's Yield Will Total More Than $91,000,000 According to a report of the California State Mining Bureau just issued, the value of California's mineral products for 1912 will reach a total of well over $91,500,000, being an increase of $4,000,000 over the production of 1911. Great activity has been evident in the mineral industry and an increased production will undoubtedly be shown in every branch, with the possible exception of copper (owing to the fact that the "fume trouble" has not been satisfactorily solved as yet) but the value of copper produced will show a large increase due to the advance in the price received during the year, the average being close to 16 cents per pound as against 12½ cents per pound received in 1911. A conservative estimate of the leading mineral products for 1912 is as follows: Petroleum, 87,000,000 bbls...$41,000,000 Gold ...20,000,000 Corn the coming State Legislature, and an appropriation from State funds of $100,000 for buildings and $60,000 for land is to be asked. He told of the investigation being carried on by A. D. Shamel at Riverside, and how these experiments are to be made invaluable to the citrus grower. The annual report of the Covina Orange Growers' Association, read at this meeting, shows that the association has distributed, net, to the growers during the past year, $286,368.16. The association shipped 218,618 boxes of all kinds of citrus fruits. The shipment includes 143,494 boxes of navels, 67,824 boxes of Valencias, the rest being miscellaneous. CATTLE FEEDING IN ANAHEIM Anaheim Sugar Company Receives 800 Head From Texas Range The Anaheim Sugar Company on Thursday received a shipment of 800 head of cattle, which will be fattened for market in cattle yards just east of the sugar company's plant north of town. The cattle came from Texas in a special train of 27 cars via Southern Pacific, and were unloaded at the yards Thursday afternoon. They were just off the range, and were armed with horns a foot and a half long. Friday and Saturday were spent in dehorning them, 400 being so treated in one day. Vice-President McLaughlin of the sugar company said, in an interview the first of the week, that the company was putting the stock in its yards with the intention of feeding it for three months on beet pulp, molasses and bean straw, and when they were well fattened in probably three months, they would be sold to wholesale meat dealers in this vicinity.

Some minerals which have had little or no production in the past, and which have been receiving considerable attention from capital recently, are: Beauxite, for the manufacture of aluminum; various iron deposits throughout the State; Barytes, Feldspar; Natural Asphalt; Potash and Nitre deposits; Tellurium, and Vanadium. While practically all the asphalt used in the State is a refined product, it is often listed with the total mineral output, in which case the total figure would approximate $95,000,000.
