Strong Market for California Citrus Exchange Shows Big Gain in Total Lemon Shipments More money is being returned to exchange growers for citrus fruits this season than ever before, and with the present situation of demand and supply there is every indication of a continued strong market on California oranges and lemons. "It is many years since California lemon growers in all producing districts have had as good a market as the first half of the 1927-28 season has provided for them," stated T. H. Powell, lemon sales manager of the exchange. The steady demand for lemons this season, with no unusual weather or sickness to affect the market, augers well for the careful standardization and consistent advertising policies of the exchange. Growers as well as those responsible for sales and advertising find satisfaction in this improved winter demand. The exchange is shipping a considerably greater percentage of the California lemon crop again this season, showing a 10 per cent increase to date over last season," stated Mr. Powell. According to latest exchange estimates, there is not over a normal supply of fruit to go the balance of the season Due to dry weather, there will probably be a lower percentage of large sizes but quality promises to continue good, to that cullage will be relatively light. Today's lemon market is higher than that usually prevailing during summer months, although the fruit has been forwarded to market as fast as it was available. California lemon shipments during early winter months were in line with those of previous years, but more recent shipments are below the average quantity supplied the markets during the past four years. There were on dock and in sight for New York on May 1, 128,652 boxes of Italian lemons, compared with sales of foreigns during the month of May last year of only 49,000 boxes; in 1926, 79,000 boxes; in 1925, 155,000 boxes, and 1924, 42,000 boxes. The present market situation is such as to encourage continued heavy imports of Italian lemons, although the size of the crop in Italy Lands Withdrawn From Settlement Government Provides Areas for Dams and Reservoirs Francis Cuttle, chairman of the Tri-Counties Reforestation Committee, has announced that the government has withdrawn from entry more than 7000 acres of public land in the Santa Ana river basin, the same to be used by the counties for dam and reservoir sites. The committee headed by Mr. Cuttle has been negotiating for this for some time, but the matter was kept secret. Mr. Cuttle's report to the supervisors of the three counties was as follows: Riverside, Calif., May 21, 1928. The Honorable. The Boards of Supervisors of the Counties of San Bernardino, Riverside and Orange, California Dear Sirs:—This will advise you that the application of the counties of San Bernardino, Riverside and Orange, for the withdrawal from entry of certain government lands which may be required for dams and reservoir sites on the Santa Ana river and its tributaries, was made effective by a withdrawal order (No. 116, California No. 27) signed by the President of the United States, May 16, 1928. Pursuant to the special autohrity given under signed by the boards of supervisors of the above counties, application was made for the withdrawal of all lands which may be needed by the three counties for the erection of lams and for reservoir sites on the Santa Ana river and its tributaries, in accordance with survey now nearly completed by the state. In co-operation with the three counties. It was found upon examination of the records of the land office at Washington, that some of these lands had already been patented and others had been filed upon; the applicant being entitled to patent in due course, and in compliance with existing laws. However, the check of these lands disclosed the fact that there were 7264 acres of land embraced in the tentative sites for dams and reservoirs which were still in governmental ownership, and it is these lands that have been withdrawn from entry by the President of the United States, as recommended by the Interior Department. Speakers Advocate Coastline Boulevard Improvement of the coast highway so as to provide a paved roadway 56 feet wide, ornamental lighting and curbs from one en of Orange county to the other would be the best investment the property owners along it could make, in the opinion of S. H Woodruff, developer of Dana Point. That statement was made by Woodruff recently at the monthly meeting of the Orange County Coast Association. Woodruff and others in Dana Point and San Juan Capistrano acted as hosts and Woodruff, who is a vice-president of the association, was in the chair. A solidly built coast line from Santa Barbara to San Diego within a comparatively few years was visioned by several speakers, including Edward Trefz, who was associated with Herbert Hoover in China and Belgium, and Dr. Wilson Fritch of Los Angeles. George Hannon, resident manager of the Dana Point development, said that this community, like some of the others along the Orange county coast, is preparing for the future. J. S. Malcom, president of the San Juan Capistrano Chamber of Commerce, told of activities in regard to the building of the proposed new highway from Elsinore to Capistrano. Malcom said that efforts were being made to persuade the federal authorities to tie this road into the federal system. Others who spoke included Dr. F. W. Slabaugh, publicity manager for the county; V. D. Johnson, of Orange; W. D. Miller, of Seal Beach; Charles Owens, staff artist of the Los Angeles Times; J. S. Farquhar, of Huntington Beach; Don J. Dodge, of Costa Mesa; L. J. Burrud, of Los Angeles, and Hallam Cooley, film actor. It was found upon examination of the records of the land office at Washington, that some of these lands had already been patented and others had been filed upon; the applicant being entitled to patent in due course, and in compliance with existing laws. However, the check of these lands disclosed the fact that there were 7264 acres of land embraced in the tentative sites for dams and reservoirs which were still in governmental ownership, and it is these lands that have been withdrawn from entry by the President of the United States, as recommended by the Interior Department. As the matter no wstands, no entry of any kind can be made upon any of these lands, although there may be mining claims or some-small areas entitled to homestead patents in the area withdrawn. Only a careful search of the records of the three counties can determine about these applications. This withdrawal act should not be misunderstood as being permanent and irrevocable. While temporarily in its character, it can be followed up with permanent rights-of-way under existing laws, giving perpetual right to the three counties, or recognized agencies therein, for the construction and maintenance of dams and reservoirs. Further action making this withdrawal order permanent will be necessary as soon as it is determined positively just what sites the counties will require. This should be done by interested parties promptly after the completion of the report of the state engineer July 1, 1928. The withdrawal of these lands from entry will relieve the counties, or the people interested in the construction of these dams and reservoirs, of the necessity of purchasing any of the lands withdrawn which may be needed for the purposes above described. The special authority given by the boards of supervisors of the three counties to the writer was scrutinize carefully and was very helpful in securing the withdrawal of these lands. It is gratifying to report to you that the officers of the Interior Department, particularly first assistant secretary of the interior, Mr. Edward C. Finney; Dr. George Otis Smith, director of the United States geological survey; Mr. W. C. Mendenall, of the United States geological survey; and Mr. Herman Stabler, of the United States geological survey, the latter having immediate charge of the checking of the lands, were all most courteous and gave the time necessary to secure prompt and efficient action. Senators Johnson and Shortridge, and Mr. Swing kindly offered to co-operate, although it was not necessary for them to leave their offices to assist. Anaheim Orchard Sells for High Price Seventy acres of Valencia oranges, owned by the heirs of Nils Jacobson and located west of Anaheim, at the corner of La Palma street and Magnolia avenue, were sold to Calvin Gregg. Malcom said that efforts were being made to persuade the federal authorities to tie this road into the federal system. Others who spoke included Dr. F. W. Slabaugh, publicity manager for the county; V. D. Johnson, of Orange; W. D. Miller, of Seal Beach; Charles Owens, staff artist of the Los Angeles Times; J. S. Farquhar, of Huntington Beach; Don J. Dodge, of Costa Mesa; L. J. Burrud, of Los Angeles, and Hallam Cooley, film actor. Returns Affected by Method of Planting A. M. Stoll of Norwalk has found that by spacing the sweet potato plants seven or eight inches apart in the row a crop of uniform, medium-sized potatoes is secured, which will bring the best price on the Los Angeles market, and avoid the production of "jumbos," which are not received so favorably on the market. Many other factors in production were explained at a recent meeting of sweet potato growers at Mr. Stoll's ranch, among them, that the Porto Rico variety is best adapted to local conditions and the Nancy Hall is least adapted to soil and keeping conditions. Where heavy cover crops, especially leguminous cover crops, have been plowed under, ammonium sulfate has been found to be the most profitable fertilizer. Mr. Stoll intends to fertilize with ammonium sulfate in two applications of three hundred pounds each, in accordance with the results of his field experiments with various fertilizers last year. He will continue fertilizer tests this year in co-operation with the farm advisor, using large amounts of phosphorous and potash, which failed to increase last year's yields when added in moderate quantities. Will somebody explain to me, says Uncle Anziah, how Flaming Youth is gonna get his hipflask filled unless some older person supplies the poison? Anaheim Orchard Sells for High Price Seventy acres of Valencia oranges, owned by the heirs of Nils Jacobson and located west of Anaheim, at the corner of La Palma street and Magnolia avenue, were sold to Calvin Gregg, owner of extensive citrus lands in the county, for a cash consideration of $190,000. Jacobson died approximately two years ago and left his holdings to relatives in Stockholm, Sweden. Seven relatives are to share in the profits of the sale, six residing in Sweden, and one here, who has been in charge of the grove. The sale was made through the Swedish consul, M. Wallerstadt, San Francisco, representing the heirs, and C. M. McCain, Santa Ana realtor, representing Gregg. The transaction is in escrow, although Gregg has had actual charge of the property for the last several days, it was said. The cash received for the property is in itself a small fortune, but in Sweden, where most of it will go, it is worth more than four times as much due to the rate of exchange, according to Consul Wallerstadt. It will allow all of the heirs of the late rancher to retire for life, he said. The trees on the property range in age from six to 18 years, and some of them are believed to be the largest orange trees in the county. The grove itself is one of the most desirable in the county and at present the crop on the trees is said to be worth in the neighborhood of $50,000. Gregg, who lives at the end of Cerriotas avenue, on the Santa Ana river, owns, in addition, about 100 acres of oranges between Santa Ana and Anaheim.
