Experts Speak at Citrus Institute Discuss Subjects Relative to Production and Marketing "Among the problems of surplus demand, distribution and other marketing difficulties of agricultural producers, there is one basic marketing principle which demands the constant attention of each individual grower as well as of the industry collectively," said Paul S. Armstrong, assistant general manager of the California Fruit Growers' Exchange, addressing the annual meeting of the California Citrus Institute, "and that is the vital matter of keeping supply in tune with demand." This annual meeting, held on February 24, is an important feature of the National Orange Show each year. Other speakers and their subjects were: "Nitrates in the Soil," Gordon Surr, citrus experiment station; "Tax and Transportation Problems of Citrus Growers," J. J. Deuel, law and utilities department, state farm bureau; "If I Were a Citrus Grower," H. C. Carr, vice-president First National Bank, Porterville; "World Production," F. O. Wallschlaeger, treasurer and auditor, California Fruit Growers' Exchange, Los Angeles. Agricultural surplus and the need for quality rather than quantity production in the citrus industry were prominently mentioned by the speakers. "Marketing experience teaches us," said Mr. Armstrong, "that the lemon grower will profit best who can produce the largest quantity of large-size green lemons per acre. The orange grower should point his production as far as possible toward a maximum production of high grade, medium sizes." Every industry has its cull problem, and I think the California citrus industry probably merchandises successfully a larger percentage of its total production than any other fruit industry," continued the exchange official. "The products plants, courageously established through co-operative effort, convert most of the balance to a useful purpose, so very little goes to waste." Distribution, a problem of interest to selection and supply of markets can only be made and full values realized when all shipments are cleared through one channel." The work done by Mr. Shamel on pedigree trees, the varied work of the experiment station, the extensive work of the state and counties, the frost forecast work of Mr. Young and the federal department studies of handling, transit and marketing conditions were extolled by Mr. Armstrong, who also stated that the accomplishments of cooperative marketing are largely made possible through the willing service freely given by many able men from the growers own ranks. Mr. Wallschlaeger, who in addition to his connection with the exchange is secretary of the California Citrus League, in discussion of world markets, brought out the fact that Spanish citrus production in the 1925-26 season exceeded California's production by over two million boxes, and that South Africa and Palestine, the other principal foreign producers, show increases in acreage and production; also that there is less non-bearing acreage in California than in any other citrus section of the world. Mr. Carr, the Porterville banker, speaking on the subject, "If I Were a Citrus Grower," gave the audience interesting facts on the financial angle of the citrus business. FARM FACTS One cow eats as much as seven sheep. A good mash for laying hens may be made up of 300 parts by weight of corn meal, 100 each of meat scraps, bran, middlings, and ground oats. This mash should be fed with green feed. In the absence of green feed, add 5 percent alfalfa meal to the mash. Feed a good scratch feed along with the mash. Skim-milk or buttermilk also makes a good addition to the feeding plan. There were 339,000 more head of livestock on farms in the United States on January 1, 1927, than on January 1, 1926, according to department of agriculture estimates. The number of sheep increased about 2,045,000 head, and of swine 481,000 head, but the number of all cattle decreased 1,627,000 head. duce the largest quantity of large-size green lemons per acre. The orange grower should point his production as far as possible toward a maximum production of high grade, medium sizes. Every industry has its cull problem, and I think the California citrus industry probably merchandises successfully a larger percentage of its total production than any other fruit industry," continued the exchange official. "The products plants, courageously established through co-operative effort, convert most of the balance to a useful purpose, so very little goes to waste." Distribution, a problem of interest to all producers, was defined by Mr. Armstrong as having the proper kind and quantity of fruit at the right place at the right time, and the speaker reported substantial progress by the exchange and other responsible shippers in recent years in applying intelligent distribution, but stated that much remains to be accomplished. The important factor of place distribution is still a long way from being solved, in the opinion of Mr. Armstrong. "The exchange distributing its share of the crop in an orderly, systematic way insuffar as possible, frequently has its distribution plans upset because of unexpected arrivals in certain markets from other shippers. This immediately puts supply out of tune with demand in the markets concerned. Haphazard distribution, involving delay, diversions and price-cutting, is expensive to the producer, even though the intentions of the shippers are of the best. The proper mash should be fed with green feed. In the absence of green feed, add 5 per cent of alfalfa meal to the mash. Feed a good scratch feed along with the mash. Skim-milk or buttermilk also makes a good addition to the feeding plan. There were 339,000 more head of livestock on farms in the United States on January 1, 1927, than on January 1, 1926, according to department of agriculture estimates. The number of sheep increased about 2,045,000 head, and of swine 481,000 head, but the number of all cattle decreased 1,627,000 head, and horses 561,000 head. Milk cows decreased 324,000 head during the year. The highest yearly record for milk production is about 37,000 pounds, or some nine or ten times as much as the average cow gives. Some cows it is estimated, give as little as 1000 pounds of milk a year. Plymouth Rock, Rhode Island Red, and Wyandotte hens, and in fact most hens of the general purpose breeds make good mothers. The heavier class, or meat breeds, such as Brahmas and Cochins also make good sitters, but are likely to be clumsy on the nest. Leghorns seldom get broody, and are not very good for hatching chicks. Speaking of the World Court, it might be stated that nothing so became our association with it as the leaving of it.

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA EDISON COMPANY Owned by Those it Serves Forest Roads Will Get Federal Help Under the terms of the agricultural appropriation bill recently approved by President Coolidge, the California district of the United States Forest Service will receive $1,145,471 for road and trail construction within the national forests of the state. Of this amount, $694,209 is immediately available and $211,936 is awaiting favorable action by congress on the pending deficiency bill. The balance, $243,326 will not become available until July 1. In accordance with the terms of an agreement entered into between the forest service, state highway commission and the bureau of public roads, $711,298 of these funds will be expended by the last named bureau in the development of roads of primary importance to the state, county or communities within or adjacent to the national forests. Subject to the approval of the secretary of agriculture, the specific projects on which these funds will be spent are: Truckee-Lake Tahoe.....$180,000 San Marcos Extension.....100,000 Trinity River Bridge.....50,000 Blalraden-Quincy.....85,000 The balance of the road funds amounting to some $200,000, remains unallotted pending the outcome of further negotiations. In addition to the above mentioned sums, the forest service will expend $438,173 in the construction and maintenance of roads and trails necessary for the proper administration, protection and development of the national forest properties. One of the reasons why children should play out of doors in the sun is that in this way they may obtain the ultra violet rays contained in direct sunlight. These important, health-giving rays, which have been found so necessary to the health of both men and animals, are screened out by ordinary window glass. Take advantage of every bright sunny day and keep, the youngsters out of doors. They are now talking about Pullman airships and we hope they make the berths so you can't fall out of'em. Benzine and naphtha give off very explosive vapors and require the same precautions in handling as gasoline. Never use as a container for such liquids a glass jar, bottle or other receptacle like to break if dropped or struck accidentally. Prunes are important sources of sugar and minerals, particularly iron. Victor D. Loly A. Public Accountants and INCOME TAX MANAGER D. L. WINANS, Mgr.
