Center and Los Angeles Streets ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA ELIMINATION OF BROKER BEING ADVOCATED ORANGE AND LEMON GROWERS DISCUSS PLANS TO IMPROVE CITRUS CONDITIONS IDEAL METHOD OF DISPOSING OF FRUIT WOULD BE TO SELL HERE IN CALIFORNIA George R. Stewart, the well known horticulturist of Pasadena, who owns one of the best orange orchards in the West end, has written an interesting article upon improving conditions in marketing fruit, which should be persuaded by all orange and lemon growers. Mr. Stewart's article is as follows: How can orange and lemon growers best dispose of their fruit? This has been the subject of considerable discussion lately as the result of low prices prevailing this season; and, since growers are receiving so little—in many cases less than cost—for their fruit, is it to be wondered at that the question is agitated and that the growers are seeking some way to better their condition. Some say: eliminate the broker and establish agencies in all the centers of distribution, and from these centers sell direct to the retailers, and thus save the auction expenses of about $60 a car and also the broker's commission, which is said to be in some cases as much as $400 a car.

Selling goods where they are produced it not new. When iron is sold it is not sent 3,000 miles to be inspected and then taken or rejected at the option of a buyer to whom it is shipped.

Among all the proposition made by advocates of a change, the above is perhaps the most popular. It can be shown, too, that the expense of operating such a plan would be far less than the amount paid under the present system, even thought the manager of the California Fruit Growers' Exchange holds to a different opinion. Also, since we have agents in all important centers, the change could be made comparatively easily. The cost of auction and brokerage is not likely less than $200 a car and may be in some cases as much as $450. To operate a direct selling system should not cost one-fourth as much. This is the plan adopted by Armour & Company and many others. Again, some say: Let the exchange establish a chain of stores over the country from which to sell our fruit. This is particularly the case as mentioned above, although, I believe, they would have these stores handle all kinds of fruit. Such as system would entail a much greater expense and tie up considerable capital. It would be very likely also to be held illegal by the courts. It has been suggested by others, and not a few, that we should sell direct to the consumer; but it is generally conceded that such a plan would involve a very large expenditure of money, a larger business than we are able to manage at present; too many opportunities for such people as we would have to employ to rob us; too much trouble to collect our money, and too great delay in getting our returns.

"Don't you believe in advertising?" "I'm agin advertising," replied the proprietor of the Hayville village store. "But why are you against it?" asked the editor. "It keeps a fellow too durn busy," replied the proprietor. "I advertised in a newspaper once about ten years ago, and I never even got time to go fishing." Action to foreclose a $1,000 mortgage on property in this city has been brought by F. H. Houck against Mary J. Pierce. The ideal method of disposing of our fruit would be to sell it here in California and let the buyer run all risks and expenses in shipping to distant markets. Selling goods where they are produced it not new. When iron is sold it is not sent 3,000 miles to be inspected and then taken or rejected at the option of a buyer to whom it is shipped. But the sale is actually made and money paid in advance of shipment. So it should be with all commodities. It used to be so in the orange business. Buyers came out from the east and bought oranges, sometimes in packing houses, paying in advance as much as one-third of the value in cash when the purchase was made and all the balance before the fruit was shipped. This plan is said to have been abandoned by the grower in order that he might get the benefit of the rebates the railroads paid to the buyers. (1) It would save the grower the expense of packing his fruit until such time as he was sure he could sell it and get at least cost out of it. (2) There would be no red-ink returns. Better for us to let our fruit rot on the trees than to sell below cost. We would save at least the cost of picking and packing. (3) Our fruit would be fresh and sound when sold to the buyer, and there would be no loss to us from decay in transit. This often amounts to a good deal—in some cases as much as 25 per cent, and even more oftentimes. G. Harold Powell, manager of the California Fruit Growers' Exchange, is reported to have made a statement at a recent meeting in Redlands that the loss has been $50,000 per week this year because of decayed fruit. Certainly it is considerable every year, and the shipper must stand the loss. We not only lose the fruit, but also the cost of picking, packing, freight, auction and exchange charges, amounting to $1.60 per box. Think of... ANAHEIM GAZETTE it!—paying $1.60 per box for which we get nothing. The men who are now selling their fruit at auction in Los Angeles have no loss whatever from this source, and can afford to take considerably less for it than New York prices. (4) It would be an advantage to the grower to get his money promptly. As it now is, we must wait from 30 to 90 days for returns. This means with most of the growers a loss in interest which they must pay. (5) The anxiety of those whose living depends upon the returns from their crops would be removed. The risks attending the fruit in transit, such as decay, frost, wreck, a falling market and other real and imaginary possibilities, all of which the grower runs, prey upon his mind, so that he rests not day or night until his returns come in. All this would be avoided by f. o. b. sales. (6) We would not have any auction commissions to pay, which now amount to about $60 a car. The auctioneer would be an employee of the California Fruit Growers' Exchange, and be paid a salary. Just that would save. Suppose we had to employ three auctioneers at a salary of $6,000 each or $18,000 in all. We now pay, say, $60 a car for auction service, and if we auction 25,000 cars, it amounts to the princely sum of $1,500,000. Add to this the losses by decay—$60,000 per week, according to Mr. Powell—for, say, thirty weeks, and we would have $1,500,000 to add, making our savings $3,000,000. (7) We would save, also, the cost of all agents throughout the country; also telegraph, telephone and office expenses, which are not small. The office force in Los Angeles could be greatly reduced and less expensive clerks employed. The necessity of paying the very high salaries we now would be removed as few experts Loss by decay ... 1,500,000 Operating expenses ... 1500,000 $3,150,000 It would be interesting to know how many growers favor the one or the other of the above methods. IRRIGATION FARMERS WANTED IN AUSTRALIA New South Wales Government Has Effective Plan of Promotion Work Fred C. Govers, who has been at the San Francisco exposition representing the irrigation interest of the New South Wales government, was in Orange County last week looking for practical farmers who understand irrigation. Several months ago another agent from Australia was here looking for irrigation farmers, telling Californians of the opportunities in that country. The government of New South Wales has opened up and put under irrigation 250,000 acres of land. Govers states that most Australian farmers are used only to dry farming, and the government fears that they will not take to farming with irrigation unless they go at it right. In order to make the big plan a success, those who settle must improve their lands properly else the whole scheme may get a black eye. The government wants about fifty irrigation farmers and irrigation orchardists from the United States to go to New South Wales, there to take up land, live upon it, improve it, and be an example to the Australians of how to farm by irrigation. "We want only a few men from each section," said Govers. "While our plan at first glance looks like taking people away from this country, I seldom find that a chamber of commerce opposes our plan. We take so commencement comes on Wednesday morning, May 12, at 9:45 a.m. There President Wheeler will give his farewell admonition and heartening for life to the graduating class, while, in accordance with good old American tradition students chosen for their excellence in scholarship and character will give their commencement addresses. The students speakers are to be John Hezakiah Levy, Catherine de Motte, Benjamin Webb Wheeler, Rene Guillou, and J. P. Duwalda. And when the University medal has been conferred on the most distinguished student of the graduating class—his name is a deadly secret until that day—and the alumni have lunched under the oaks in Strawberry canon, and President and Mrs. Wheeler have welcomed the Seniors to their home as a farewell gathering, then quiet will settle down upon the campus for a time—but only for a few short weeks for June 21 will open the yearly summer session of six weeks with thousands of students enrolled in hundreds of different courses. And even in the brief interval between tween, the campus is never deserted for always the magnet of 300,000 volumes and the hundreds of thousands of manuscripts in the library draws a good company of workers, open as the library is to all the world's use and always the research laboratories are peopled with laborious investigators. For the watch fires never grow dim of these ardent campaigners into the realm of the unknown. SUMMER ENTOMOLOGICAL CAMPAE The University of California will carry on in connection with its Summer Session work, this coming summer, a summer entomological camp at Camp Agassiz on Fallen Leaf lake El Dorado county. The work will consist mainly of field work, supplemented with general or individual instruction. (7) We would save, also, the cost of all agents throughout the country; also telegraph, telephone and office expenses, which are not small. The office force in Los Angeles could be greatly reduced and less expensive clerks employed. The necessity of paying the very high salaries we now do would be removed, as few experts would be required. We could also save a very large sum now expended in advertising. If there are unfaithful agents, in the east (as some affirm there are), who sell us out for a mess of pottage, they could do so no longer. (8) We could control the sale of our fruit to some extent. No one could buy our goods at a less price than we choose to sell at. We could either fix a minimum price before the fruit went to auction, or we could bid it in, if we chose to do so, and hold it for future sale. (9) If the market should be over-supplied with fruit, we would have all our fruit on the trees, where it would keep better and without expense until the market could take it. As it now is, the railroad sidings are filled at such a time and our fruit is spoiling. (10) If oranges were sold here, we might expect a larger consumption in the cast, because the fruit would land at its destination fresh and in good condition. It is said the average time that oranges remain on board cars is twenty days—often longer. If a dealer bought a car of oranges in Los Angeles for New York he could land it at its destination in eight days, sweet and sound, and much more attractive to the consumer. These and others I might mention are some of the advantages of this ideal method. Sure, there must be some objectionable features to selling oranges f.o.b. but most that I have heard advanced are imaginary. Some say buyers will not come from the east. But they did once; and many substantial proofs have been given that they will come again. Indeed, they are here and buying. In Los Angeles some days half as many cars of oranges are sold at auction as in New York the same day. Others say buyers would combine against us. But, if they did, they could not get back red ink at the grower. The oranges would be on the irrigation farmers and irrigation orchardists from the United States to go to New South Wales, there to take up land, live upon it, improve it, and be an example to the Australians of how to farm by irrigation. "We want only a few men from each section," said Govers. "While our plan at first glance looks like taking people away from this country, I seldom find that a chamber of commerce opposes our plan. We take so few from any one community, and it is a case of where great good is to be done. We are not looking for capital. A man who is practical, understands farming or fruit growing of any kind, with a very small amount of money to start on, will have the assistance of our government in his operations." Govers was at Santa Ana for several days last week, and gave information concerning his plan to all those interested. WILL GIVE THOUSAND DEGREES AT BERKELEY COMMENCEMENT A thousand students will receive degrees on this year's commencement day the University of California—Wednesday morning, May 12, in the great open air Greek theatre. Just now the six thousand students are deep in the gloom of final examinations, but bright beyond are the joyous events of Senior week. California Day—a reunion of all the fifty-five classes which have graduated from the university—is the two-day celebration which will usher in the commencement season. The alumni will hold reunions by classes at the county exhibits in the California building at the Exposition at 3 p.m. and then gather for dancing in the ballroom. Some of the classes will hold individual reunion dinners that evening. May 7—while others will join in a general alumni banquet at the Inside Inn. Saturday, May 8, the alumni return to the Berkeley campus in force. There will be Freshman-Sophomore tugs of war, water fighting, pouishing and a relay race between two 25-men teams. Ten steers will be roasted whole for the noon day barbecue and the Spanish feast will be enlivened with much Spanish dancing and singing. After an out door dance on the old baseball field, the alumni cohorts escorted by the undergraduates, will follow the dim of these ardent campaigners into the realm of the unknown. SUMMER ENTOMOLOGICAL CAMPAIGN The University of California will carry on in connection with its Summer Session work, this coming summer, a summer entomological camp at Camp Agassiz on Fallen Leaf lake El Dorado county. The work will consist mainly of field work, supplemented with general or individual instruction as the case may be, and courses will be arranged to meet the needs of those desiring either elementary or advanced work. Special attention will be given to the study of forest entomology and the general entomological fauna of the mountains. A full corps of instructors will be stationed at the camp. The expenses will be the usual summer school fee and a small amount for the purchase of individual equipment. The living expenses will cost $12.00 a week at the hotel or housekeeping cotages can be secured, or students may take advantage of the free camping grounds controlled by the university. Further information including reservation of either of these forms of accommodation can be secured by ad dressing Dr. E.C. Van Dyke, College of Agriculture, Berkeley, California. $5,000 FOR FAST BOAT TO CATCH DRAGNETTERS The assembly has passed a bill directing the State Fish and Game Commission to spend $5000 out of its funds for the purpose of building a fast power boat to be used in the waters of the Southern coast and Catalina Isle and to catch violators of the fishing laws. The boat is called for by the game wardens of Orange county who say that without such a vessel they cannot catch the fishermen who are persistently breaking the laws respecting the use of selves and nets. The bill to require all crabs offered for sale in this state to be branded with the date and name of the place where caught, has passed both houses having been approved by the assembly last week. GARDEN GROVE WATER PLANT NEARLY READY The Garden Grove Water company is making a fine showing with its new plant. The new tank holding 10,000 gallons is being installed. Some say buyers will not come from the east. But they did once; and many substantial proofs have been given that they will come again. Indeed, they are here and buying. In Los Angeles some days half as many cars of oranges are sold at auction as in New York the same day. Others say buyers would combine against us. But, if they did, they could not get back red ink at the grower. The oranges would be on the trees and could be held there until the buyers would be only too glad to get some to supply an open, ready market in the east. Stop shipping oranges for two weeks and see what a demand there will be for them all over the country. But some say it would be hard to make the change from the present way of selling to any other. Six months' notice to the brokers would likely be all that would be necessary—or, why could not a section of our territory, as Canada, for instance, be taken, and notify the trade there that buyers for that market would have to buy in Los Angeles after a fixed date? The objections to this method seem few, but to some people seem very formidable. There is unquestionably general dissatisfaction with the present method of disposing of the orange and lemon crops, and we hear suggested: Sell direct to the retail trade. Sell direct to the consumer. Sell through a chain of stores to both retailers and consumers. Sell f. o. b. Los Angeles and avoid the paying of fright and loss by decay. Receive prompt payment. Reduce the running expenses of the exchange. Hold fruit on trees and avoid the expense of picking and packing until the fruit can be sold at a profit. Save to the growers over the present method: Auction charges ... $1,500,000 Saturday, May 8, the alumni return to the Berkeley campus in force. There will be Freshman-Sophomore tugs of war, water fighting, pouting and a relay race between two 25-men teams. Ten steers will be roasted whole for the noon day barbecue and the Spanish feast will be enlivened with much Spanish dancing and singing. After an out door dance on the old baseball field, the alumni cohorts escorted by the undergraduates, will follow the famous Stanford Axe in a pilgrimage past beloved spots on the campus and up the hill to the Greek theatre, where notable speakers will hold forth. Mast of the 74 fraternities and house clubs will hold reunion dinners to their alumni that evening, adjourning in time for the Senior Extravaganza. This is Flat Lux, written by Sldney Coe Howard and Frederick S. Faust, two Seniors, with original music by a group of student composers and to be presented in the Greek theatre by several hundred color participants, with much brilliance of lighting, costume and spectacle. The eloquent Los Angeles clergyman, Dr. J. Whitcomb Brougher, will preach the Baccalureate sermon, at 4 p.m. Sunday, May 9, in the Greek theatre. Class day comes Monday, May 10. At 9 a.m., the Spinors go in pilgrimage seven hundred strong, to the new 300-foot tower, the Cather Campanile, just completed by Mrs. Sather's gift; to the site of the new $800,000 classroom building, about to be erected with part of the $1,800,000 recently voted by the people of the state for new buildings, and to Agriculture hall, the Senior Oak, old North hall and other hounts of tradition, with speeches at each by the class heroes—and heroines. Chancellor David Sarr Jordan of Stanford University will give the annual Phi Beta Kappa ordination at four that afternoon and Monday will close with the Senior ball. Saturday, May 8, the alumni return to the Berkeley campus in force. There will be Freshman-Sophomore tugs of war, water fighting, pousing and a relay race between two 25-men teams.
