FRUIT GROWERS' EXCHANGE IN 1913 SUMMARY OF REPORT OF GENERAL MANAGER POWELL FOR YEAR ENDING AUG. 31 ONLY ONE-THIRD OF ONE PERCENT OF FRUIT SHIPPED BRING "RED INK" RETURNS By G. Harold Powell. At the beginning of the year ending August 31, 1913, the California Fruit Growers' Exchange shippers estimated that they would ship 34,000 carloads, or about 13,250,000 boxes of citrus fruits, comprising 27,000 carloads of oranges and grape fruit and 7,000 carloads of lemons. This was the largest estimated shipment in the history of the exchange. Detailed arrangements were made in the fall of 1912 to handle the increased crop. In November and December severe desert winds reduced the crop at least 10 per cent; in January unprecedented cold weather destroyed the fruit in many sections, injured it severely in others, while in a few localities the crop escaped serious injury. cost in 1911-12 based on the percentage of the gross sales. These figures include the entire disbursements, without carrying over a single cent of liability chargeable to the business of 1912-13, or to any preceding year. They include the cost of maintaining all of the departments of the exchange, the salaries of the agents, and all other expenses of the exchange agencies, the collection of claims against railroad and transportation companies, the inspection of cars while in transit, the expense of the advertising campaign, the legal expenses necessary in safeguarding the interests of the organization, the exchange share of the expense of the Citrus Protective League and all other expenses connected with the business of the organization. In addition to the California Fruit Growers' Exchange, the associations maintain district exchanges which represent them in their dealings with the central organization. The cost of maintaining the district exchange should be added to determine the total cost of marketing for an exchange grower. The average cost of maintaining the district exchange is substantially one cent per box in a normal year; in 1912-13, notwithstanding the shortage in the crop, the average cost does not exceed 1.3-10 cents per box, making the total cost of maintaining both the California Fruit Growers' Exchange and the district exchanges less than 2.3-8 per cent on the gross sales, or 3.13 per cent on the returns f. o. b. California. This marketing cost, as far as known, is the lowest cost of marketing any agricultural crop in America. The cost of marketing all farm crops, including loads of lemons. This was the largest estimated shipment in the history of the exchange. Detailed arrangements were made in the fall of 1912 to handle the increased crop. In November and December severe desert winds reduced the crop at least 10 per cent; in January unprecedented cold weather destroyed the fruit in many sections, injured it severely in others, while in a few localities the crop escaped serious injury. The citrus industry faced one of the most difficult problems in its history as a result of the widespread damage caused by the frost. Immediately following, the growers and shippers were concerned over the condition of the remaining fruit as well as the stability of the industry. The markets were thrown into a chaotic condition by the exaggerated reports published throughout the country and by haphazard offerings of the speculative shippers. These experienced in the industry realized that the successful outcome as far as the remaining crop was concerned, depended upon the continuation of orderly, systematic distribution and marketing. The growers, realizing that the stability of the industry depended on preserving the marketing system of the exchange unimpaired, stood shoulder to shoulder in meeting the condition. The organization readjusted its business operations without difficulty. Had the growers not been prepared to meet the condition with a thoroughly equipped distributing and marketing organization, the results which this report sets forth could not have been obtained. As a result of the reduction of the crop by these causes the exchange shippers have sold only 12,443 carloads of fruit, 5,000,000 boxes in round numbers, or 37.7 per cent of the estimated shipments for the year. This amount represents 61½ per cent of the total citrus fruit shipment from the state during this period. It also represents the largest proportion of the total crop ever handled through the exchange, the proportion having increased steadily from 47 per cent in 1906. As a result of the shortage of the crop, the fruit sold through the exchange will bring to California over $13,500,000, or an average return f. o. b. cars of $2.75 for every box shipped. This average is 50.2 per cent higher than the average f. o. b. returns per box for the preceding eight years. Notwithstanding the difficulty of grading the fruit in frosted orchards, it is a significant fact that 99.66 per cent of the cars forwarded by exchange shippers in 1912-13 brought a district exchange is substantially one cent per box in a normal year; in 1912-13, notwithstanding the shortage in the crop, the average cost does not exceed 13-10 cents per box, making the total cost of maintaining both the California Fruit Growers' Exchange and the district exchanges less than 23-8 per cent on the gross sales, or 3.13 per cent on the returns f. o. b. California. This marketing cost, as far as known, is the lowest cost of marketing any agricultural crop in America. The cost of marketing all farm crops, including citrus fruits, seldom falls below 5 per cent on the gross sales. The cost of marketing citrus fruits, even where no comprehensive distributing and marketing system has been developed, rarely falls below 5 per cent on the f. o. b. value. It often costs 7 to 10 per cent. It costs the American farmer on the average probably not less than 10 per cent, it frequently costs him 25 per cent or more to market his crop. The total losses sustained during the year from bad debts and from all other causes has been $390.71, or less than 1-333 of one per cent of the funds returned to California. The total loss from all sources since the dissolution of the California Fruit Agency in 1904 has been $5,731.21, or less than 1-200 of one per cent of $121,000,000, which is the approximate amount of money returned by the exchange to California during that period. t is doubtful if this record in financial management can be surpassed by any other commercial institution in America. The shipments during the fiscal year 1912-13 represent 53 per cent of the shipments of 1911-12. The f. o. b. returns to California, on account of the shortage created by the frost, equal 79 per cent of the returns of 1911-12. The proceeds paid by the associations to the producers after deducting all packing and selling charges, though unequally distributed in localities on account of the frost, represent approximately 85 per cent of the proceeds returned by the associations to the exchange producers in 1911-12. The f. o. b. average price per box, as a result of crop shortage, is 47 per cent higher than the average for 1911-12 and 50.2 per cent higher than the average f. o. b. price received during the preceding eight years. Notwithstanding the reduction of over 60 per cent of the estimated shipments for 1912-13, the expenses of the California Fruit Growers' Exchange have been readjusted so that the cost to the shipper is only %4 of 1 cent per box higher than the cost in 1911-12. The percentage cost on the gross sales on the other hand, as already stated, is 16 per cent less than the cost in 1911-12, and 5½ per cent The most striking change conditions on the nation been in the increased sons holding permits within the forests. The permittees, which increase for the state from 2,888 total number of cattle raised with range was raised of 1,852 head abo head for which permits previous year. The new and goats also increased head to 449,105 head. There was, however, a which dropped from head. The average number horses per permit in the formia is 68 head when number of sheep and head.

This average is 50.2 per cent higher than the average f. o. b. returns per box for the preceding eight years. Notwithstanding the difficulty of grading the fruit in frosted orchards, it is a significant fact that 99.66 per cent of the cars forwarded by exchange shippers in 1912-13 brought a cash return to California. In other words, only one-third of one per cent or one car in three hundred, of the cars shipped brought "red ink" returns. These few "red ink" returns were confined principally to the chaotic marketing period immediately following the frost, before the orderly distributing methods of the exchange made themselves felt in the markets and before the invention of the water separator by Frank F. Chase made possible the accurate separation of the frosted from the unfrosted fruit. It is a still more significant fact in the face of the January disaster that 98.25 per cent of the cars shipped actually brought a cash return to the exchange grower; that is, a cash return in excess of the average association, sub-exchange and California Fruit Growers' Exchange cost, freight and all other charges. The records of the exchange for the eight preceding years show that in a normal season a "red ink" sale is of rare occurrence. In 1909-10 for example, there were two "red ink" sales in a total of 16,633 carloads of oranges; in 1910-11, there was one "red ink" sale in a total of 23,443 carloads of oranges. In 1911-12, 99.8 per cent of the oranges shipped brought a cash return to California. The total cost of maintaining the California Fruit Growers' Exchange for the year 1912-13 is 7½ cents per box for oranges and an average cost of 71-3 cents per box for all citrus fruits. This selling cost is substantially 2 per cent on the gross sales and 22-3 per cent on the returns f. o. b. California. Teh cost is 16 per cent less than the average for 1911-12 and 50.2 per cent higher than the average f. o. b. price received during the preceding eight years. Notwithstanding the reduction of over 60 per cent of the estimated shipments for 1912-13, the expenses of the California Fruit Growers' Exchange have been readjusted so that the cost to the shipper is only ¼ of 1 cent per box higher than the cost in 1911-12. The percentage cost on the gross sales on the other hand, as already stated, is 16 per cent less than the cost in 1911-12, and 5½ per cent less than the average percentage cost of the preceding eight years. GRAPE DAY AT ESCONDIDO Escondido is one of the many beautiful Southern California towns that has a "day" in which all of the people get together and sing the praises of their town and give thanks to an indulgent nature for bountiful crops and good times. The people of the town are not selfish about it for they invite every one to this unique celebration and donate liberally of their money and products for the entertainment of their visitors. Ten or twelve tons of delicious Muscat grapes are given freely to all who come while free rides over the valley and many other forms of entertainment are furnished. The legal organization of the Grape Day Association has just been completed with the following officers and directors in charge for this year: W. E. Alexander, president; W. L. Ramey, vice-president; W. H. Baldridge, treasurer; Percy Evans, secretary; A. T. Robertson, A. W. Wohlford, J. V. Larvalere, J. H. Heath, G. W. Wisdom and H. W. Beers. This makes it a permanent institution and as they have used California Admission Day (September 9th) for five years and propose to use the same date each year it gives every one a chance to attend, as Admission Day is a holiday, on which business is suspended and every one is out for fun and recreation.

Statistics prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture, however, show a falling off in the number of live stock in the State of California amounting to 56,000 head of cattle and 53,000 head of sheep as compared to the date of the preceding year. The most striking change in grazing conditions on the national forests has been in the increased number of persons holding permits to graze stock within the forests. There are 153 new permittees, which increases the total for the state from 2,888 to 3,041. The total number of cattle and horses provided with range was 181,716 head. DIAMOND MINING IN ARKANSAS 1375 Stones Have Been Mined In That State in Recent Years Diamonds were first discovered in Arkansas August 1, 1906, near the mouth of Prairie Creek, in the vicinity of Murfreesboro, Pike county, and since that time approximately 1,375 stones, aggregating 550 carats, are reported to have been found in this locality. The diamonds in Arkansas occur in a rock known as peridotite, and for this reason search for further areas of the rock has been made. This search has resulted in the finding of three new areas, the known extent of which is much smaller than that near Murfreesboro. They lie within an area of one square mile, about three miles from Murfreesboro. These localities were visited by Hugh D. Miser, of the United States Geological Survey, and are described by him in Bulletin 540-U, an advance chapter from "Contributions to Economic Geology, 1912." At the time of Mr. Miser's visit the Kimberlite Diamond Mining & Washing Company was erecting at Kimberley a plant to wash the diamond-bearing earth to be hauled on a tramway from its peridotite area and from another tract near the mouth of Prairie Creek. Four diamonds of good quality provide summer range upon the national forests for all of the stock which can be wintered within the locality adjacent to and naturally dependent upon the forest ranges.

The most striking change in grazing conditions on the national forests has been in the increased number of persons holding permits to graze stock within the forests. There are 153 new permittees, which increases the total for the state from 2,888 to 3,041. The total number of cattle and horses provided with range was 181,716 head, a raise of 1,852 head above the 179,764 head for which permits were issued the previous year. The number of sheep and goats also increased from 444,648 head to 449,105 head, a gain of 4,457. There was, however, a slump in swine, which dropped from 3,480 to 2,360 head. The average number of cattle and horses per permit in the State of California is 68 head while the average number of sheep and goats is 1,191 head. These averages are a trifle less than general average for all the national forests of the United States. While the number of stock grazed upon the national forests of California continues to increase, there is as a matter of fact an actual decrease in the acreage of forest land available for the use of stockgrowers. This decrease is due to several causes, such as: actual eliminations from the forests of large areas; the demands of settlers for agricultural land under the home-stead act of June 11, 1906; the demands of tourists for small areas upon which they may pasture their saddle and pack stock while visiting the almost countless points of scenic interest in the state, and the rapid extension of tree growth over areas which in the past furnished a large proportion of the forage consumed by the stock. During the past year, for instance, the forest service recommended the elimination outright of some 100,000 acres of land, and the national forest area was restricted by that amount. It also recommended that 564 tracts of land, with an aggregate acreage of 59.367 acres be listed and opened to agricultural settlement. While in some cases the applicants have not filed upon or occupied the land, a great many of the claims have been settled upon and are rapidly being brought under cultivation, thus curtailing the amount of land available for the pasturage of permitted stock. During the year thousands of tourists seek health and recreation in the national forests of California, and in order to supply suitable forage for the Murfreesboro. These localities were visited by Hugh D. Miser, of the United States Geological Survey, and are described by him in Bulletin 540-U, an advance chapter from "Contributions to Economic Geology, 1912." At the time of Mr. Miser's visit the Kimberlite Diamond Mining & Washing Company was erecting at Kimberley a plant to wash the diamond-bearing earth to be hauled on a tramway from its peridotite area and from another tract near the mouth of Prairie Creek. Four diamonds of good quality are said to have been picked up on the surface, the largest weighing 4 carats. Further development work to ascertain the extent of the peridotite is now under way. On another tract where a little washing for diamonds has been done in a crude way without machinery, 20 diamonds have been recovered. A copy of the report may be obtained free on application to the Director of the Geological Survey, Washington, D.C. PROTECTION TO BREEDERS Since January 1, 1911, the Department of Agriculture has been safeguarding the interests of breeders of pure-bred horses in the United States in such a manner that there is no longer any excuse for the purchase of a stallion or mare as an imported one which is not actually imported. The foreign (including Canadian) certificates for horses of the various recognized breeds imported for breeding purposes are submitted by importers to the Bureau of Animal Industry. The pedigrees are verified from the studbooks, and the description of the animal on the pedigree certificate compared with that reported by the bureau's inspector at the port of entry. If descriptions and pedigrees check up properly, the pedigree certificates are stamped in red ink. This stamp carries the statement that a certificate has been issued by the Bureau of Animal Industry, the date of issue of such certificate, and the department's serial number for the particular breed. These bureau certificates give customs officers the data on which animals are passed free of duty under the provisions of the tariff act. Farmers and breeders are cautioned not to purchase or accept any stallion or mare claimed to have been imported since January 1, 1911, unless the foreign pedigree certificate for the animal offered for sale is stamped as above described. If the certificate does not bear the stamp, either the pedigree is not correct, or the description fails to 367 acres be listed and opened to agricultural settlement. While in some cases the applicants have not filed upon or occupied the land, a great many of the claims have been settled upon and are rapidly being brought under cultivation, thus curtailing the amount of land available for the pasturage of permitted stock. During the year thousands of tourists seek health and recreation in the national forests of California, and in order to supply suitable forage for the saddle and pack animals of the tourists it has been necessary to exclude cattle and sheep from many choice meadows and bits of grass land. In the majority of cases the stockgrowers have voluntarily consented to these reductions in their grazing allotments and in some cases have contributed to the costs of fences, or have otherwise protected the areas set aside for tourists' use, in spite of the fact that the segregation of these tracts has materially reduced the available supply of forage. In the eyes of the stockgrower the factor which most seriously threatens the future of his business is the rapid extension of trees and brush cover over the lands which previously were principal sources of forage supply. Prior to the creation of the national forests repeated fires and the overgrazing of the lands prevented any natural re-establishment of the forest cover, but under the systems of fire protection and range management adopted by the service the burned-over lands are reforesting wherever natural conditions are favorable. However, according to the officers, the curtailment in available range area which has been brought about by the conditions mentioned is more than offset by an increase in forage productivity on the land remaining open to the grazing of live stock, and it is quite apparent that the improvement in range conditions which is being effected by the forest service will keep pace with the demands of the industry so that it will be entirely possible to bureau certificates give customs officers the data on which animals are passed free of duty under the provisions of the tariff act. Farmers and breeders are cautioned not to purchase or accept any stallion or mare claimed to have been imported since January 1, 1911, unless the foreign pedigree certificate for the animal offered for sale is stamped as above described. If the certificate does not bear the stamp, either the pedigree is not correct, or the description fails to agree with the animal, or the animal was not imported since January 1, 1911. This same procedure is followed in the case of cattle, sheep, and hogs, although in some instances, notably in the case of sheep, a number of importers have preferred to pay the duty, which is comparatively small, rather than take the trouble to get certificates of pure breeding from the department. The Tustin Lemon Association has issued its June pool and it gave a return of $25,000 to its growers. The association shipped two cars of lemons last week. The Tustin Hills Citrus Association is again busy packing Valencias.
