ANNUAL REPORT OF EXCHANGE MANAGER PAST YEAR MOST SUCCESSFUL IN HISTORY OF CALIFORNIA FRUIT ORGANIZATION NEARLY THIRTY-FOUR MILLION DOLLARS RECEIVED BY THE MEMBERS FOR YEAR'S CROP The following is taken from the annual report of G. Harold Powell, general manager of the California Fruit Growers Exchange, showing the business transacted by that association during the year ending August 31, 1917: Shipments and Returns Fifteen million four hundred ninety two thousand nine hundred and ninety (15,492,990) boxes of citrus fruits have been shipped through the California Fruit Growers Exchange during the year ending August, 31, 1917. Of these 12,836,848 boxes were oranges, grape fruit, tangerines, etc., and 2,656,132 boxes were lemons, or a total of 36,218 carloads. This is an increase of 28 per cent over the largest annual shipments in the history of the organization. The returns f. o. b. California, estimating the value of the cars unsold, will be about $33,611,000, which is the largest amount of money ever received. Based on Exchange results the return to California for the total crop of 53,830 cars for the year ending August 31st, was $47,675,000 and the delivered value in the markets $67,600,000. Valencias in spite of generally heavier loading, and shortage of labor and packing material at times interfered with the movement. The Exchange has sold fruit in car lots to over 200 additional houses and in 95 additional towns as compared with the previous year. The Navel Orange Crop Considerable damage was done to the navel crop in the lower lands of the early districts by a frost in November at about the time the first shipments were starting. The car situation prevented the shipment of a great deal of the damaged fruit in which the injury was not clearly apparent until some time later. The first shipments of frosted fruit on a bare market brought good returns but seriously affected the later market as did the immature fruit shipped from some sections where maturity laws were not effective. Exchange shippers, added by our field department, used great care in the inspection of orchards and fruit to be packed under their regular labels and the Sunkist trade mark, with the result that Sunkist was accepted by the trade as an assurance of quality and commanded prices accordingly. The last California legislature passed a law providing a maturity standard for oranges: This specifies that they may not be shipped until the juice contains not less than eight parts of soluble solids to one part of acid (which is the standard suggested by the U.S. department of agriculture) or unless the fruit is substantially colored on the tree. This will apply to all sections and it is hoped will result in more uniformity in the delaying of the start of shipments until the fruit is good to eat. The Southern California navel crop was the largest that has ever been marketed. Some damage was done to it by frost in a few sections during the winter but this occasioned no serious difficulty as the shippers were able to segregate the poor fruit from the good by waiting until the damaged fruit commenced to dry out. The sizes ran medium to small which was helpful in the sale, as with other foods so high in price, oranges selling at a low price per dozen were in great demand. The market continued steady thepe 12,836,848 boxes were oranges, grape fruit, tangerines, etc., and 2.656,132 boxes were lemons, or a total of 36,218 carloads. This is an increase of 28 per cent over the largest annual shipments in the history of the organization. The returns f. o. b. California, estimating the value of the cars unsold, will be about $33,611,000, which is the largest amount of money ever received. Based on Exchange results the return to California for the total crop of 53,830 cars for the year ending August 31st, was $47,675,000 and the delivered value in the markets $67,600,000. On account of the heavier loading of cars the past season, due to the shortage of equipment, the carload figures do not give a true comparison of the crop with other years. The average load of citrus fruit has been increasing each year because of larger cars and the increasing amount of fruit precooled by the shippers, which is always loaded heavier. Since November 1, 1916, at the request of the Exchange, the railroads have been keeping records of the total number of boxes shipped monthly and also separately for the principal varieties. These records will be valuable in the future in making accurate comparison of yearly total crops and of the different varieties of oranges. The Exchange members have forwarded 69 per cent of the total number of boxes of citrus fruit shipped from California for the year ending August 31, 1917, which is the largest proportion of the total shipments handled through the Exchange. The Exchange proportion has been steadily increasing. Ten years ago our growers shipped 55 per cent and five years ago 60 per cent of the total crop. In the handling of this large business there were no losses from bad accounts during the year. The sales through the Exchange during the last 14 years have amounted to approximately $226,100,000, on which business the losses due to bad debts or in the transmission of funds have been less than $8,000, or about one third of 1-1000 of one per cent. Cost of Exchange Service The operating cost of the California Fruit Growers Exchange covering the maintenance of all of the Exchange departments, the salaries and all other expenses of the sales agencies, brokerages, the daily market news service, the collection of claims, the inspection of railroad service along the different routes and expenses necessary in safeguarding the interests of the growers in rate, tariff and legal matters is slightly less than 4c per packed box, or 1.28% on the gross sales. The large volume of business handled has resulted in the lowest cost of operations per box in the history of the Exchange. The average cost of the district exchange was $0.0081 cents per box, making the total average operating cost of the Exchange service 4 3-4 c. per box, or 1.55 per cent of the delivered value of the fruit. In addition to the operating cost, of the start of shipments until the fruit is good to eat. The Southern California navel crop was the largest that has ever been marketed. Some damage was done to it by frost in a few sections during the winter but this occasioned no serious difficulty as the shippers were able to segregate the poor fruit from the good by waiting until the damaged fruit commenced to dry out. The sizes ran medium to small which was helpful in the sale, as with other foods so high in price, oranges selling at a low price per dozen were in great demand. The market continued steady until the first week in April, when the United States entered the war. For several weeks following the market was weak and declining owing to the effect on the consumers and the trade of the appeals to economize and the purchases of unusual quantities of staples. When confidence was restored the market improved and the average realized on the navel crop as a whole, was higher than in any recent year. Because of the shortage of refrigerator cars, labor and packing materials, the navel movement continued to a much later date than usual. The navel movement was free from any protracted decay period, which occurs in most seasons, usually following continued rains. The weather was more favorable and handling methods for decay control are constantly improving. Brown rot was not serious, both because of the weather conditions and the control measures adopted in the orchards. Miscellaneous Varieties Seedlings, Sweets and St. Michaels started to move when the market was in a very unsatisfactory condition following the entry of the country into the war but the recovery came in time to make the averages very satisfactory. The Valencia Crop The Valencia crop is the largest California has ever produced. Owing to new acreage coming into bearing the shipments of this popular summer orange have been steadily increasing until they now amount to one-half as great as the navel shipments. The non-bearing acreage is large and it may be expected that the Valencia shipments will continue to show an increase each year under normal conditions. The opening of the Valencia season was very much delayed on account of the late clean-up of navels and the miscellaneous varieties of oranges and like other varieties the proper movement has been interfered with by the shortage of transportation equipment and packing supplies. The market is taking this variety in large quantities at good prices. Owing to the late start and interference with the shipments, a larger percentage of the crop will move after September first usual. With a heavier movement even smaller trade are handling Valencias in car loads through the summer and fall, making their orange business an all year round one. The Traffic Department ferent routes and expenses necessary in safeguarding the interests of the growers in rate, tariff and legal matters is slightly less than 4c per packed box, or 1.28% on the gross sales. The large volume of business handled has resulted in the lowest cost of operations per box in the history of the Exchange. The average cost of the district exchange was $0.0081 cents per box, making the total average operating cost of the Exchange service 4 3-4 c. per box, or 1.55 per cent of the delivered value of the fruit. In addition to the operating cost, the Exchange has expended 2¼c per box on oranges and 4c per box on lemons for national advertising and in dealer service work, to increase the consumption of citrus fruits and place the market for them on a year around basis; to make the Sunkist brand synonymous with "uniformly good oranges and lemons" and to increase the buying temptations and make it easier for people to purchase oranges and lemons and more desirable for dealers to push the sales of these fruits. The Sales Departments The general prosperity of the country has allowed the marketing of the largest crop of all the principal citrus varieties produced by California at satisfactory prices. While the values of citrus fruits did not increase like the prices of the staple foods, the greatly enhanced purchasing power of the people allowed more consumers to buy these delicious and healthful fruits regularly, creating a steady demand through out the season, except for a few weeks following the entry of this country into the war. The shortage in the Florida orange and grapefruit shipments on account of frosts overcame to some extent California's increased crops and a larger percentage of the total citrus supply being handled through the Exchange, allowed of a more intelligent distribution. No long periods of rain in the producing districts interfered with the steady movement of the crop and decay losses on oranges were less than usual. The weather in the markets was favorable, except for a period of extreme cold just prior to Christmas, which interfered with the distribution and damaged the contents of many cars in transit. An insufficient supply of refrigerator cars during most of the year delayed the clean up of the navel crop and the start of the market. The market is taking this variety in large quantities at good prices. Owing to the late start and interference with the shipments, a larger percentage of the crop will move after September first than usual. With a heavier movement even the smaller trade are handling Valencias in car load lots through the summer and fall, making their orange business an all year round one. The Traffic Department There have been presented to the carriers during the season 10,906 claims for overcharge and loss and damage in transit, amounting to $279.151.47, a considerable proportion of which was not collected within the fiscal year due to the time necessary for investigation and settlement by the railroads. Our claims have naturally increased with the volume of the business, and the above figures represent the largest number and amount of claims ever presented to the carriers within one season. The collection on claims during the year, some of which cover those filed the latter part of the previous season, aggregated $139,943.44; all of which was returned to the shippers, the expense of this service being included in the marketing cost. It was demonstrated by investigations that cars equipped with floor racks or false floors will carry fruit without freezing through much lower temperatures than the ordinary equipment and refrigerate better when ships move under ice. The car lines have decided to install false floors in all of their cars. The experiments are continuing and other important improvements will undoubtedly be developed. A shortage of cars prevailed through most of the season and serious loss was avoided only by the cooperation of the shippers in loading heavily. The increased loading by Exchange shippers resulted in a saving of the use of approximately 2,000 cars. The Exchange appeared before the Interstate Commerce Commission at the hearings in Washington in June, protesting the 15% rate advance petitioned for by all the railroads of the country. The carriers' petition was denied except covering some Eastern tariffs which do not affect California citrus rates. The proposed increase like the other varieties the proper movement has been interfered with by the shortage of transportation equipment and packing supplies. The market is taking this variety in large quantities at good prices.

KNOWLTON VISITS SOLDIER SON O. V. Knowlton, who lives on Acacia street, Fullerton, about a mile and a half east, as he puts it, in the city but not in town, is home from a trip to San Diego where he went to visit his son, Sergeant H. H. Knowlton of Co. 36, Marine Corps. Mr. Knowlton speaks in eloquent words of praise of the surroundings of his son and the excellent mess which he partook of and enjoyed hugely. In company with his son he also visited Camp Kearney, which is being put into shape for 40,000 soldiers. Mr. Knowlton went down on the Santa Fe and returned on the steamship Yale. Altogether he had a most delightful time. Mr. Knowlton is a civil war veteran, and he thinks the soldier boys of today are faring sumptuously compared with the boys of '61, who were fed on hard tack, beans and sow belly. TEN MORE FOREST BATTALIONS AUTHORIZED The formation of a second Forest regiment comprising ten battalions and composed of lumbermen and woodworkers, who will go to France and get out of the forests materials for the use of the American, French and British armies, has been authorized by the war department, it has been announced. Two battalions are to be raised at once with the active aid of the Forest service, of the department of agriculture. It is expected that the remaining eight battalions will be called for in a short time. Nine service battalions, made up of laborers who will be used in connection with the forest regiment, have also been authorized two battalions have been ordered raised at once. In order to provide for future contingencies it has been decided to commission at the present time enough officers for other battalions yet to be raised. Those men not needed now will be placed on the reserve, and will be called as the other units are formed. According to the present plan, 50 per cent of the officers will be sawmill and logging operators, 25 per cent will be technical foresters, and 25 per cent will be men of military training. A number of the graduates of the engineer camps have been selected for service with the new units. A considerable number of captains and lieutenants are to be selected in the immediate future. The minimum age limit for commissioned officers has been set at 31. A first regiment of woodsmen numbering about 1,200 men and designated as the Tenth Engineers (Forest) has already been recruited and assembled and is now being trained at American University, D.C. This regiment was raised at the request of the British government to undertake the production in France of crossties, bridge, trench and construction timbers, mine props, lumber and other forms of wood required in connection with military operations. The landing of the American expeditionary forces has made necessary similar provision for their needs, while the French military authorities have indicated that some of the work incidental to their operations might be taken over by woodsmen from this country. Decision to raise the new and much larger force has followed a study of the field of possible usefulness to the Allied cause, made by American foresters attached to General Pershing's staff. Each of the ten battalions of the second regiment will comprise three companies of 250 men each, and will be under the command of its own major. The regiment will be made up of volunteers. Applicants must be white and between the ages of 18 and 40. Skilled lumber-jacks, portable mill operators, tie cutters, logging teamsters, camp cooks, millwrights, and charcoal burners are among the classes of men desired. For the service battalions both negro and white laborers will be enlisted. THEY DON'T COUNT Orders have been received by the local exemption board that men who have enlisted after July 1 will not be counted in with this board's first required quota of 204 men. Those who enlisted previous to that date can be counted. P. J. Weisel & Company Hudson&DodgeBros.
