CITRUS FRUIT GROWING IN SOUTH AFRICA Ray Nebelung, who returned some months ago from South Africa, where for a couple of years he studied citrus culture, writes as follows to the California Cultivator relative to the development in that country: South Africa, famous for its gold and diamonds, will soon become famous for its citrus at the present rate of increase in production; in fact Professor Amundsen, an American and a former farm adviser of Placer county, California, and now professor of horticulture in the Transvaal University college, South Africa, predicts that fruit growing in South Africa will soon be bigger than any other industry, not excepting gold mining. Professor Amundsen even states that South Africa has many natural advantages over California for fruit growing; it has not the same liability—in the citrus districts particularly—to extremes of temperature, while labor is much cheaper than in California and in many other ways the cost of production is much less. There certainly are few places in the world that can boast such an equable climate, and with such a climate and water in quite large measure South Africa has every requisite for a great fruit industry. There are now 2,337,844 bearing citrus trees in South Africa, including tangerines and lemons, and it is predicted that in 1930 there will be about three and a half million citrus trees in full bearing, and one estate alone, Zebedella, will require five trains a day to carry away its fruit. Allowing the very conservative estimate of two boxes to the three, there will be a production of 7,000,000 boxes and since factors. Canker broke out some years ago, but is controlled now and is almost exterminated. Commercial growing of citrus began just after the war, when oranges brought high prices in England; the more progressive fruit growers launched out on a big scale, but they soon recognized the vital importance of a co-operative organization, and hence a co-operative movement was started which ended in the government starting the Danish plan of farmers' co-operative society under the unlimited liability scheme. For some reason or other the Danish plan proved a failure, and for a long while the farmers were reluctant about forming another co-operative organization. A few years ago a movement towards organization by the growers in the Transvaal ended in Professor Amundsen's two plans, one on "campaign of organization," and the other "plan of organization" being accepted by the committee appointed to go into the matter. The conference of citrus growers held on September 15, 1921, was unanimously in favor of a citrus exchange first, and then co-operation with the deciduous and pine growers later. However, the second conference in April, 1922, decided on a fruit growers' exchange endeavoring to function for all fruit interests. This was chiefly due to the fact that government officials told the conference that under the new co-operative bill only one central exchange was possible; this may be against the principles of co-operation, but nevertheless the new exchange consists of eight directors who look after the interests of citrus, five directors in charge of deciduous fruit and two directors for oines. Since the chief citrus section in the Transvaal is more than 1000 miles from the chief deciduous section in the western province around Cape Town each with separate ports every key, and with wideeign and domestic wires.

There are now 2,337,844 bearing citrus trees in South Africa, including tangerines and lemons, and it is predicted that in 1930 there will be about three and a half million citrus trees in full bearing, and one estate alone, Zebedella, will require five trains a day to carry away its fruit. Allowing the very conservative estimate of two boxes to the three, there will be a production of 7,000,000 boxes, and since the British isles are the chief market of South Africa citrus, every Britisher will have to learn to eat oranges every day in order to consume the South African crop. This will necessitate an active advertising campaign on the part of the South African Fruit Growers' exchange, which was organized a few years ago. Local markets are almost negligible since the white population is only one and one half million; hence overseas markets besides England will have to be developed in other parts of Europe, Canada and America if possible, and since the seasons are the reverse of those in the United States, competition should not be keen. The citrus shipping season runs from April to August in the Transvaal, the largest producer in South Africa, while the deciduous season runs from November to March, Cape Colony being the largest producer. Most of the South African fruit is high class and should attract the fancy trade. It takes 16 days for fruit to reach Southampton from Cape Town, but 25 days would be the time spent between South Africa and New York; hence if ever America becomes a market for South African fruit only the best quality can be shipped to cover the shipping rates. Lemons are grown chiefly for local consumption, since keen competition is met in England from Spain and Italy; however, tangerines are grown to perfection and can take the place of lemons, which form such a large part of the citrus industry in California. Labor is very cheap, being mostly done by natives who are paid about $10 a month. South Africa is following the example set by California and is keen in standardization; all fruit exported from any of the ports, usually Cape Town, Durban and Delagoa Bay, passes through a rigid inspection, and the pack has also been greatly improved. The improvement in the South African product is chiefly due to the re- that under the new co-operative bill only one central exchange was possible; this may be against the principles of co-operation, but nevertheless the new exchange consists of eight directors who look after the interests of citrus, five directors in charge of deciduous fruit, and two directors for mines. Since the chief citrus section in the Transvaal is more than 1000 miles from the chief deciduous section in the western province around Cape Town each with separate ports, the original plan of separate exchanges may have to be resorted to before long. Delagoa Bay is only six hours from Barberton, the largest citrus producing area, and ought to become the chief citrus port. This favored spot is certainly unique and consists of an area of 40,000 acres in extent—a long narrow strip of bottom land formed by the depositing of silt in past ages similar to that in the Nile valley. The watershed is about 7000 square miles in extent, and the rich silt comes from the surface of semi-aerial plains where the decomposed shales, the sheep pastures and the annual vegetation provide an endless supply of fertilizer. The result is that the irrigation water takes the place of fertilizers. Above the irrigable portion of the valley a conservation dam has been completed,the capacity being 100,000 acre-feet and the cost $300,000,000. The farms are 20 to 400 acres each, and while the usual practice is to lay down half to alfalfa for fattening of stock, dairy ranching, etc., a small portion of each is being planted to citrus. Under the conditions of soil and climate, everything which can be grown in California can be raised there. Even the avocado, papaya, cherimoya and mango can be raised there. The land is very fertile, of fine texture and uniform, while the depth of soil runs from a few feet in the foothills to 60 feet. The valley being long and narrow and the soil deep and super-imposed on a gravel bed, there is never a question about water-logging or drainage. The water supply is ample for all requirements, and the cost does not exceed $8 per acre per annum, which covers everything there being no cash purchase of water rights or any other right. There is no cost or risk on account of frost, and the question of fertilizer has never arisen because of the silt laden water.

South Africa is following the example set by California and is keen in standardization; all fruit exported from any of the ports, usually Cape Town, Durban and Delagoa Bay, passes through a rigid inspection, and the pack has also been greatly improved. The improvement in the South African product is chiefly due to the recent installation of California made machinery in several packing houses, and the standardization of citrus in general. The varieties have been limited to Navels, Valencias, duRois, St. Michaels and Mediterranean Sweets, while the Eureka and Lisbon lemons are most popular. The March Seedless is the standard pomelo. Maybe a little more attention is given to seedlings than in California, since they take well on the English market, although the now plantings seem to be 50-50 Valencias and Navels. There are about 18 enterprises each planting from 6000 to 15,000 acres of citrus, chiefly in the Transvaal, which is particularly well adapted to citrus and where, as the rainfall in many places is insufficient, better crops are produced if irrigation is practiced. The cultural practices are very much the same as in California, excepting that tractors are not often used because of the high cost of gasoline, which runs as high as 60 to 75 cents a gallon. Many different soils are planted to citrus, but the loam is the most popular and very heavy soils are avoided if possible. The orchard management problems are very much the same as in California, the red scale being the worst pest; sale is usually controlled by fumigation. The Mediterranean fruit fly and false codling moth are found in South Africa, but are not very great on a gravel bed, there is never a question about water-logging or drainage. The water supply is ample for all requirements, and the cost does not exceed $8 per acre per annum, which covers everything, there being no cash purchase of water rights or any other right. There is no cost or risk on account of frost, and the question of fertilizer has never arisen because of the silt laden water. This valley is only 30 miles from Port Elizabeth, one of the largest seaports in South Africa; hence there should not be any need for refrigerator cars. Good land, unimproved, but with plenty of available water can be had in the Transvaal for about $200 to $300 per acre, if anyone prefers to do the planting of groves himself. With the costs of production much less than in California, citrus growing in South Africa should be a most profitable industry to the prospective settler. AMERICA'S MARKETS FOR AMERICANS PROVING WISE An important change has taken place since the first of the year in the commercial transactions of the United States. For the first time since 1914, the imports are in excess of exports. The turn came in March, when the imports exceeded exports by $60,000,000. The first four months of 1923 will show an excess of imports over exports amounting to about $50,000,000, and the indications are that the importation figures will increasingly exceed those of exportation. Here is a situation with most significant factors. Was not the Fordney-McCumber tariff to strangle foreign commerce by shutting out imports and thereby making it impossible for foreigners to buy American goods? The opponents of the Harding administration harped upon this argument in... ANAHEIM GAZETTE every key, and with all possible foreign and domestic variations. Once again, by the cold facts of commercial transactions actually recorded, the wisdom of the protective tariff policy is demonstrated. The United States occupies a peculiar position, and this positivo must be taken into account in applying any theories of economics. It is the largest single market in the world, and this market is homogeneous, resourceful and possessed of practically unlimited consuming power. When its people are placed in proper relation to the rest of the world, the American market becomes a voracious consumer of raw materials not available at home. It will have these materials, no matter what the cost; hence a high tariff is no barrier to foreign raw materials when the right conditions prevail. What are the right conditions? Obviously, they are those in which Americans are enabled to be producers as well as consumers. The protectionist theory is based upon this solid principle: That a man and a nation must be a producer in order to be a consumer. Give the American productive work, and he will look after his own consuming needs. Give the United States the opportunity to produce, and it will attend to its own needs in the way of consumption. This can be accomplished only by giving Americans preferential opportunities in the American market. "The American market for Americans," or "America first," summarizes the protective tariff policy. Once the American market, the largest in the world is possessed by the Americans as against the outside world, conditions are created in which the United States becomes both a producer and a consumer on a tremendous scale. Its demands in some directions are greater than its supply; hence the importations of raw materi heaviest travel yet to come. Yosemite, according to Superintendent W. B. Lewis, had 77,491 visitors up to and including July 22, as compared with 62,120 for the same period last year, an increase of about 24 per cent. Rail travel has increased about 12 per cent and private motor travel about 34 per cent. Yosemite has an advantage in its all-year season, being open every day in the year, whereas Yellowstone closes September 20. Yosemite attendance this year is predicted to be about 125,000, as compared with 100,506 in 1922. Yellowstone had 98,000 in 1922 and this year seems to be headed for 135,000. The race will be a pretty one, eagerly watched by yeverybody interested in travel development and the national parks. FLAGRANT POLITICAL PROPAGANDA In appointing Charles A. Storke, of Santa Barbara, to the state board of education, Governor Richardson said that "political educators have piled high the tax load of the people and have even gone to the extreme of using little children for political propaganda." Will C. Wood, superintendent of public instruction, published a rejoinder asking for the names of the districts involved, and of the officials who permitted or had part in the distribution of propaganda. Now comes F.W. Atkinson, mayor of Watsonville, and publisher of the Watsonville Register, who says: "While Governor Richardson and Mr. Wood are on this subject, we would like to call attention to a matter which seems to have escaped attention. We have never seen it referred to in any discussion of the school situation. commissioner of corporations, Edwin M. Daugherty, made public this week, such communications will receive no recognition. Utracet care is used in guarding the identity of reputable citizens lodging a well founded complaint, stated the commissioner. It is the duty of every citizen knowing of any gross irregularity in the operation of the business of a company coming under the supervision of the state corporation department to advise that department. The function of the state corporation department is to supervise the issuance and sale of securities. The public frequently mislead into the belief that the corporation department was instituted to prosecute alleged criminal charges. The law provides that the district attorney of the county in which the crime is committed is the proper official to present such charges. The state corporation department is glad to give counsel to anyone believing he has been swined or is about to be injured financially in an investment. It cannot assume the burden of investigating every charge brought by persons dissatisfied with investments. Such a policy would require an army of detectives and investigators, the expense of which would make it prohibitive. IN NEW QUARTERS The new quarters which were assigned to the state corporation department on the sixth floor of the state building in San Francisco were found to be too small, adequately to take care of department's business in the bay region, and, under the direction of George G. Radcliffe, of the state board of control, larger quarters have been assigned to the department on the first floor of the state building. American market. "The American market for Americans," or "America first," summarizes the protective tariff policy. Once the American market, the largest in the world is possessed by the Americans as against the outside world, conditions are created in which the United States becomes both a producer and a consumer on a tremendous scale. Its demands in some directions are greater than its supply; hence the importations of raw materials. Its needs are so great and so urgent that prices go up and producers find it more profitable to sell at home than to export their goods. Yet, in spite of high prices, the American consumer is well off, because he is a producer first, at high wages. He can afford to buy because what he has to sell is quickly marketable at a good profit. Foreign manufactured goods are not imported at a rapidly increasing rate, as raw materials are. It is well that they should not flood this market. If they can not meet American prices they should be kept out. American workers in mills and factories need not fear reduction of wages to the European level, because the tariff protects them. The tariff law has been adjusted in such fashion as to make it impossible for Europe and Asia to dump cheap-labor goods into the American market and thus close doestic factories and mills. The Republican majorit yin congress and the Harding administration are entitled to the credit for enacting the tariff law that preserves the American market for Americans. PROBABILITY OF COLD LIGHT Science is preparing a surprise for those who associate light with heat. Along separate lines progress has been made in producing the one with an almost imperceptible accompaniment of the other. Cold light, it is claimed, is now a reality. About a year ago E. Newton Harvey, o f Princeton, announced that he had isolated the substance which makes the fireflies glow. He called it luciferin, oxidized it with digestive juices, and produced a pale but constant light of practically no heat. The problem remaining is to produce luciferin artificially in large quantities and increase its economic advantages. More spectacular is the reported success of Emile Risler, former chief of the laboratory at Watsouville, and publisher of the Watsonville Register, who says: "While Governor Richardson and Mr. Wood are on this subject, we would like to call attention to a matter which seems to have escaped attention. We have never seen it referred to in any discussion of the school situation. "By whose authority, for example, was the propaganda inserted in the school text books comparing, to the disadvantage of county officers, their salaries with those of the school officials? "Also, by whose authority was propaganda inserted in the school text books giving the children a cynical view of city officials, many of whom devote their time to public work without pay? By whose authority was propaganda inserted in the text books to convey the idea that city officials are corrupt, and use their positions for petty grafting." The schools of California are using an arithmetic, Book 3 of the California series, by Edwin Lee Thorndyke, of the teachers' college, Columbia University, New York. One of the amazing examples in this arithmetic gives hypothetical salaries of the superintendent and the various county officers in county A, county B, county C. The problem follows: "Express each of the salaries of county as as a per cent of the salary of the superintendent of schools." "How much higher is the salary for sheriff in these three counties than the average salary for the superintendent of schools?" The city X and the city Y appear in another problem: "What per cent of the total expenses for schools in city X was for teachers' salaries?" The same in Y. "Which city probably had the better teachers?" "A man in city Y claimed that if the city had not bought its coal from friends of politicians at high prices, and hired friends of politicians to make repairs that were not needed, the expense of coal could have been reduced. "If the money so saved had been spent to get better teachers, by what per cent could the teachers' salaries be reduced." IN NEW QUARTERS The new quarters which were assigned to the state corporation department on the sixth floor of the state building in San Francisco were found to be too small, adequately to take care of department's business in the bay region, and, under the direction of George G. Radcliffe, of the state board of control, larger quarters have been assigned to the department on the first floor of the state building. The change in the office room will give the department approximately double the space formerly occupied on the sixth floor. Commissioner of Corporations. Edwin M. Daugherty announced that doubtedly the change in quarters ordered by Radcliffe will result in increasing the efficiency of the San Francisco office. He declared it reduces to the minimum the time required in handling such applications as come before the branch office for attention. The commissioner has suggested that corporations in the district outside of the immediate bay region forward their applications to the attention of the headquarters office in the California Fruit building. Sacramento. Applications of corporations outside the district served by the San Francisco office now are being forwarded by that office to the headquarters office in Sacramento for attention. The headquarters office in Sacramento also is equipped for the handling of applications of mining and oil companies. Under the recent re-organization of the department's work, the mining and oil business in northern California has been handled in the Sacramento headquarters where prompt attention is given to all such applications. TAKE LICENSES AWAY Violators of the automobile law in California and other commonwealths are paying large sums annually in fines, but that form of penalty is insufficient to control some men of reckless temperament. Many men do not seem to feel much an ordinary fine. Their neighbors and friends do not regard it as a disgrace, the offender does not care much. Often a man's friends look at it simply as a good joke on him, and he may lose no standing in the community. Theoretically a lot of reckless drivers ought to be jailed, but it would be difficult in most states to About a year ago E. Newton Harvey, of Princeton, announced that he had isolated the substance which makes the fireflies glow. He called it luciferin, oxidized it with digestive juices, and produced a pale but constant light of practically no heat. The problem remaining is to produce luciferin artificially in large quantities and increase its economic advantages. More spectacular is the reported success of Emile Risler, former chief of the laboratory at Strasburg, who has announced a discovery in another direction. Risler has coated a fine glass tube with a phosphorescent substance which, when an electric current passes through it, it gives a dazzling light and almost no heat. Heretofore electric lights depended upon heating the filaments until they glowed. The reports of the Risler experiment say that an 18-foot tube of his dazzling light costs one-eighth as much as a twenty-five candle power electric bulb. The benefits of cold light will be appreciated in warm weather. In laboratories where intense light is needed there will be need no longer for the accompanying high temperatures and it is also claimed beneficial reduction in eye-strain will be a result. YOSEMITE VS. YELLOWSTONE It's a nip and tuck race again between Yosemite in California and Yellowstone in Wyoming, the two great scenic attractions of the national parks system, for first honors in attendance this year. Up to July 15, Superintendent Horace M. Albright reports a total attendance of 41,536 for Yellowstone, which is a gain of 39 per cent over the total of 29,759 for the same period last year. Yellowstone's increase in train travel has been 21 per cent and in motor travel 50 per cent, with the period of SALE OF SECURITIES Periodically a flood of anonymous communications, charging violations of the law against oil promotion schemes swamp the state corporation department branch office in Los Angeles. According to announcement by the teachers' salaries?" The same in Y. "Which city probably had the better teachers?" A man in city Y claimed that if the city had not bought its coal from friends of politicians at high prices, and hired friends of politicians to make repairs that were not needed, the expense of coal could have been reduced. "If the money so saved had been spent to get better teachers, by what percent could the teachers' salaries have been increased?" The question raised by the above need not be one of teachers' salaries, but merely of the flagrant misuse of the text books and the school children of the state to put over an idea. To the credit of the teachers be it said that many of them probably do not use these examples, but there they are in Book 3, and they form a part of the prescribed studies. It will be a new idea to county officers that they are being overpaid. To the credit of the teachers be it the country, who to their own private problems add the burdens of a devoted public service, it no doubt will refresh them in their labors to feel that the little children of the public schools are being given cheap and cynical opinions of them and of their work. It is often charged that there is altogether too much balshevism in our colleges and universities. Does it help the condition any to begin thus early to discredit government in the minds of the young? MONEY CIRCULATION $42.51 PER CAPITA The total money in circulation in the United States on July 1 was $4,729,789,527, or $42.51 per capita. This compares with $4,705,923,339, or $42.34 capita on June 1, 1923, and $4,375,555,653, or $39.87 per capita, on July 1, 1922. The stock of gold coin and bullion in the United States on July 1, 1923, was $4,049,150,897, and the stock of all money in the United States, $8,603,306,097, compared with $4,023,306,195 and $8,526,623,659 respectively on June 1, 1923, and $3,785,520,512 and $8,178,602,408 respectively on July 1, 1922. The treasury department points out that in the last six years money stocks in the United States have increased $3,284,000,000 and money in circulation has gained $1,327,000,000 since 1914. THE GREATEST SINGLE MOVE TOWARD PEACE Now that the limitation of armaments treaties have been ratified by every nation a party thereto, even the critics of the Harding administration acknowledge that "this is the greatest single move ever made toward easing the world's burden of armament expenditure and reducing the causes of war." For many months Democrats have been taunting the Republicans because France has been postponing ratification of the treaties. Their taunts were of such a nature as to indicate their hope that France would persist in the failure to ratify. Now, however, that France has ratified and the treaties have the hearty support, not only in letter, but in spirit, of all nations participating therein, the Democrats are forced to acknowledge the magnitude and importance of the accomplishment. The Washington conference was not called in a hurry. It was the outcome of thoughtful planning and not of hysteria. President Harding ascertained that the leading nations of the world would take kindly to such a project and then called a conference for certain specific purposes, thus eliminating the danger that its work would be jeopardized by injection of other subjects not germane to the main purpose. When the conference met in Noain and Japan, with a 1.75 ratio for France and Italy, respectively. Immediately upon agreement upon these treaties the United States, Great Britain and Japan suspended work then in progress on capital ships in excess of the agreement. There was even some scrapping of ships of lesser importance and of almost obsolete character, which process of scrapping increased when the United States, Great Britain and Japan had ratified the treaties. It was announced, however, that there would be no real scrapping until France had also ratified. Now that France has ratified by an overwhelming vote, all of the nations will enter heartily into the task of bringing their naval strength in capital ships to the required limit and there will probably be an effort among the diplomats of the different nations to agree upon further limitations on other classes of ships and probably airplanes as well, with a view to further lessening the load of taxation due to military preparedness. ENGLISH GIRLS TO EMIGRATE For approximately 100 years prior to the world war England had done little for her young women, especially those faced with the necessity of earning a living. Spasmodic efforts had been made to help the young men who wanted to emigrate to the colonies, but the young women had been virtually ignored. Today, largely owing to the remarkable service rendered by women during war times, and also due to the fact that England has 2,000,000 more women than men, the interests of the women are being given attention. Miss Gladys Pott, whose activity on behalf of English women, has gained the admiration and confidence of the British empire, has been named a The Washington conference was not called in a hurry. It was the outcome of thoughtful planning and not of hysteria. President Harding ascertained that the leading nations of the world would take kindly to such a project and then called a conference for certain specific purposes, thus eliminating the danger that its work would be jeopardized by injection of other subjects not germane to the main purpose. When the conference met in November, 1921, Secretary of State Hughes had a very carefully prepared proposal to submit. That this had been carefully thought out with due regard to the interests and rights of all nations, is indicated by the fact that it was adopted with very slight modifications after discussions covering only three months. There were five treaties drawn up, the most important of which settled disagreements with regard to interests in the Pacific and in the orient and pledged all of the parties to the treaty to confer if there should develop between any of the high contracting parties a controversy arising out of any Pacific question. This treaty was a necessary forerunner of a limitation of armaments treaty, for Great Britain, the United States and Japan could not agree upon a ratio of armaments if there were a possibility not to say probability of war over Pacific questions. That treaty having been agreed to by the representatives at the conference, there was little difficulty in arriving at the agreement for a capital ship limitation based on a 5-5-3 ratio as among the United States, Great Britain who wanted to emigrate to the colonies, but the young women had virtually ignored. Today, largely owing to the remarkable service rendered by women during war times, and also due to the fact that England has 2,000,000 more women than men, the interests of the women are being given attention. Miss Gladys Pott, whose activity on behalf of English women, has gained the admiration and confidence of the British empire, has been named a member of the British overseas settlement delegation, now on its way to Australia. She says it is a bad idea to populate a new land with young men unless you send some nice girls to the same place. If the girls find husbands—and there are many potentially good husbands among the settlers in Australia—so much the better, she thinks. Girls going out to a new country, she contends, must be looked after. She thinks it is up to the government to look after these girls and young women. She insists they cannot be left, like young men, to paddle their own canoe. Miss Pott is going to Australia in the interest of these girls. She believes they should have opportunities, but she is opposed to any girl being sent to the colonies from England unless there is something—work,friends or capital—to meet them on the other side. Thus is constructive work. It is a work well worth the doing. WITHOUT WORKING Communists like this country because they can get something to eat. Her "dandering boy tonight" probably is listening to a radio-phone. Your Check-Stubs Tell a Story The stubs of your check-book tell where your money went—whether it was wisely spent or wasted.
