EVOLUTION OF DRIED FRUIT Sun dried fruit, dessicated fruit, cured fruit, evaporated fruit, dehydrated fruit, or simply dried fruit—which will you have? The consumer knows no difference, perhaps, and judges solely by the price asked, or by the package or carton in which the commodity is contained. And the difference is not clearly defined, by any means, but if one glances backwards for half a century or thereabouts he will become aware of a gradual, steady upward tendency in the quality of our dried fruits, which have, undoubtedly been passing through a period of evolution until they are rapidly approaching the apex of perfection. In the early days, the careful farmers' wife endeavored to save fruit that would otherwise have gone to waste, by cutting it and spreading upon the roof of the chicken house, or any other convenient place: the beginning of the industry, and which almost proved the end owing to the disrepute resulting when the methods of drying became known. Fruit becoming more plentiful than the fresh market could absorb, many ingenious minds got to work on the invention and construction of evaporators. It was thought, and with reason, that fruit artificially cured would appeal to the consumer on the score of clemiliness, and that the availability of competition at a higher price with the chicken-house-roof product. Extensive plants were erected in Napa Valley and elsewhere for the making of raisins, the San Joaquin Valley and irrigation not having then been "discovered," except in the prophetic mind of Frank M. Pixley, then editor of the "Argonaut." Solano Bassford invented a machine which revolved with the sun's rays, getting the maximum of the day's heat which was considerable in a warm canyon ofough this division, demonstrations being made throughout the state in the fruit season by food experts, is becoming immensely popular. I would not hesitate to say that no fruit commercially cured is yet equal in quality to that which is cured in this home evaporator, directions being followed faithfully. One point here must not be omitted—all of the large fruits, such as apricots, peaches large plums, pears, and apples are peeled, or it is so recommended, and dropped into a weak saline solution before spreading upon the trays. Discoloration is prevented, and the light flesh fruits remain as light colored as the most fastidious could require. The most valuable point in this connection is that in peeling the fruit the unpleasant acid is removed, so that it may be stewed and served without the addition of any sugar. This of itself would much more than make up for the added labor of peeling, and it is no exaggeration to say that the fruit more nearly approaches that which is picked ripe from the tree than any which is otherwise treated or canned. The same with equal force, applies to vegetables cured in this manner. Nothing now can stop the extended use of these evaporators; nothing can check the spread of a knowledge of the principles involved, and many a remunerative business will grow from a humble start made in the home orchard. And the large commercial dehydrators will strive all the more, to place upon the market cured fruit which will satisfy the palate and which will call for a "repeat" order.

Extensive plants were erected in Napa Valley and elsewhere for the making of raisins, the San Joaquin Valley and irrigation not having then been "discovered," except in the prophetic mind of Frank M. Pixley, then editor of the "Argonaut." Solano Bassford invented a machine which revolved with the sun's rays, getting the maximum of the day's heat which was considerable in a warm canyon of the Vaca Valley. But the one incentive to a continuance of any of these methods was lacking—a net profit on the investment with labor. Dried fruit was bought only because it was cheap, and, with the prune for a leader, it became synonymous with a very cheap boarding house diet, and was looked upon with more or less contempt and ridicule. Such a condition lingered for many years, enlivened only by the rival claims of a "cured" or "evaporated" fruit, or one which was artificially dried. The pure sun dried article was superior only because it was dried in the sun, a process the success of which could not be gauged anywhere except in the sunny, golden omele of California! A mild excitement, increasing to extremely heated arguments on the use and abuse of suphur in the drying process scored on behalf of the sun-worshippers, at least for a time. This, like all else worked for the ultimate good, as no less an authority than Dr. Wiley showed how an abuse, or over use of sulphur might ruin the industry. Yellow plums bleached white, and prunes turned red and called "rubles" were thrown into the discard. Both the grower and the packer by this time had become pretty well convinced that in order to not only obtain but retain the market, the taste or palate of the combined families of Mr., Smith, Mr. Brown, and Mr. Jones must be pleased and satisfied. Hence the sudden marked improvement in the quality of all dried fruits, stimulated, it must be admitted, by sun-dry pure food laws, standardization, and inspection, under proper legal authorization. The industry by this time had assumed very large proportions, and the various organizations and exchanges had worked marvels in extending the market. "Extension of markets" became the cry, when "retention and extention" would have been a far better slogan. The high ONE NATION — SIX VOTES It has long been the opinion of Republicans that the League of Nations question is settled, so far as the United States is concerned. It has been the desire of Republicans to drop that subject from discussion and to concentrate public attention upon live and vital issues of domestic importance. But, finding themselves without any other possible issue upon to make a campaign, the Democratic leaders recently staged a greeting to former President Wilson on which occasion he once more discussed this subject, making it, apparently, the paramount issue of the campaign of 1924. Much as Republicans deplore the revival of an issue that ought to be dead, they will not evade it. In this connection it is interesting to note a recent remark by the Prime Minister of Great Britain in discussing the tariff policy of the British Empire. He advocated the adoption of a protective tariff in which the British Empire would be considered as a unit, with free trade among its various parts but with duties imposed upon imports from other nations into the British Empire. The language of the British Premier is of more than passing interest. In advocating a tariff policy that would extend throughout the Empire he used the expression: "From England through Canada, South Africa, Australia, all regarding themselves as one unit, one land, and with one aim." His remarks were greeted with cheers. The pertinency of this language to present discussion of the League of Nations will be readily apparent when we remember that in the scheme of League control it was expressly provided that the British Empire should have not merely one vote in the Assembly of the League, but six; one for the United Kingdom, and one each for Canada, Australia, South Africa, New Zealand, and India. In defense of that proposal to give Great Britian six votes to our one it was argued that the provinces and dominions are practically separate nationalities although continuing adherence to the British flag. They were said to be self-governing dependencies and the quality of all dried fruits, stimulated, it must be admitted, by sun-dry pure food laws, standardization, and inspection, under proper legal authorization. The industry by this time had assumed very large proportions, and the various organizations and exchanges had worked marvels in extending the market. "Extension of markets" became the cry, when "retention and extention" would have been a far better slogan. The high salaried advertising agents should be summarily discharged if they do not understand that a repeat order is far more valuable than a new one. So long as the population increases and towns grow into cities extension is an easy road to travel: a thousand times more valuable is the customer, who, like Oliver Twist, pushes up his bowl and asks for more. And, by the way, a failure to recognize and act on this principle by the shippers of immature and under ripe fruit, will bid fair to ruin another branch of the industry if not checked. We come down now to the present time when quality seems to be the coming watchword. The public is ever becoming more discriminating as to its daily food; more civilized if you will. Best of all, the extension service of the university of California, through its divisions of home economics and demonstration work is educating the producing public most rapidly and in a most satisfying manner. Not only this, but Professors Cruess and Christie have been busy for some years in their laboratories, in the orchard, and in the dry yards and with dehydrators making tests, pointing out errors and suggesting methods for improvement. The home evaporator put out throu- vided that the British Empire should have not merely one vote in the Assembly of the League, but six; one for the United Kingdom, and one each for Canada, Australia, South Africa, New Zealand, and India. In defense of that proposal to give Great Britian six votes to our one it was argued that the provinces and dominions are practically separate nationalities although continuing adherence to the British flag. They were said to be self-governing dependencies and it was proposed to give them each a separate vote in the Assembly of the League of Nations — a vote equal to that of the United Kingdom itself and equal to that of the United States, on the theory that their votes would be guided by their own separate individual self-interest and not by the fact that they were component parts of the British Empire. But when the British Premier mentions these several territorial divisions separately and speaks of them as "regarding themselves as one unit, one land, and with one aim," and his remarks are greeted with cheers, it is difficult for Americans to reconcile themselves to the notion of former President Wilson, former candidate Cox, and Democratic leaders generally that there was any justice in the proposal to give the British Empire six votes in the League Assembly to one for the United States. This is a subject to which President Wilson and his admirers and friends of the League of Nations generally might give their attention. What have they to say, in view of the above quotations, in defense of the plan of giving Great Britian practical control of a League by whose decisions the United States would be morally if not legally bound. INTERNAL REVENUE BUREAU HAS NEW QUARTERS New quarters of the Southern California Internal Revenue Bureau, which consists of the entire second floor of the Federal Building, were opened to the public Monday. Reflecting the unprecedented growth of Southern California and of the business of the Internal Revenue District, the new offices of the Bureau have been increased from 9000 square feet of floor space to 19000 square feet. Departing from the old style of housing Federal employees in small rooms, the entire Bureau will be located in one immense office extending from Temple to Commercial street, and from Spring to New High, and with an area of 19000 square feet. Every division of Collector Goodcell's Department will serve the public from this one big room which has been laid out along the lines of the recently remodeled New York Internal Revenue Bureau which is probably the most modern and up to date of the sixty-five Collectors' offices in the United States. Entrance to the new quarters will be from the elevator at the main entrance to the Federal Building on North Spring Street. Later on another entrance will be installed from New High Street. In commenting on the Government's policy of remodeling the Collector's offices into modern business quarters, Collector Goodcell pointed out that the remarkable growth of the Los Angeles District as a producer of Federal revenue had called not only for more floor space but for an increase in the number of employees as well. In 1915 the entire collections of the District were $2,503,447, as compared with $48,163,288 in 1923, which was greater than the combined collections of the entire States of Oregon, Washington, New Mexico, Wyoming and approved May 17th, 1923. And We Do Hereby Represent: 1. That no part of said Territory is within the boundaries of any incorporated municipality of the State of California; 2. That the name of the proposed Sanitary District shall be "Buena Park Sanitary District." 3. That all of the lands within the boundaries of the District above described will be benefited by the formation of such Sanitary District. WHEREFORE, Your Petitioners request that an election be called, within said District, in the manner provided by Law, for the purpose of forming such District; and the election to fill the offices provided by the terms of said Act, hereinafter referred to. The undersigned Petitioners also do hereby GIVE NOTICE that this Petition will be presented to the Board of Supervisors of the County of Orange, in the State of California, pursuant to the provisions of said Act of the Legislature of the State of California, on Tuesday, the 27th day of November, 1923, at the hour of ten o'clock.
