All California Citrus In Great Demand Every Indication For Good Crop All Citrus Varieties For 1928-29 An exceptional demand has existed for California Sunkist Valencia oranges throughout the summer, considering the record crops of all varieties of summer fruits and vegetables selling at very low prices. While this season's Valencia crop is about 25 per cent lighter than last year, it is still a large crop of oranges as compared with the crops that were being produced in California half a dozen years ago, and is 50 per cent greater than the light crop of 1925. The total crop of California Valencia oranges this year will exceed 10,000,000 boxes, which with an average size of 216 means 2,160,000,000 individual fruits, or a per capita consumption of about 20 oranges for the United States and Canada. Lemons likewise, continue in strong demand at good prices and with August shipments and sales considerably ahead of normal August volume. Sizes prevailing on Valencia oranges are very desirable as they provide a large proportion of medium to small fruit which can be sold at a reasonable price per box is high. There is no surplus of extremely small sizes as prevailed in 1927. Last year the average size on August Exchange shipments was 242. This season it will be about 208. The Valencia crop has been moved in an orderly manner. Shipments were heaviest during the period that Central California Valencias were being marketed, as their crop was the largest ever grown in that district. Exchange Valencia shipments to August I were 61 per cent of this year's estimated crop, as compared with 65 per cent in 1927, and 60 per cent in 1926. "We believe there is a larger percentage of the remaining Valencia crop in the hands of the Exchange shipper at this time than in most previous EDWARDS ANSWERS ATTACK MADE ON HIS PUBLIC RECORD TO EDITOR GAZETTE: As a candidate for state senator, I have been attacked in a series of vicious and untruthful statements which appear in newspaper advertisements signed by the Ball for Senator Club. I have conducted my own campaign on a basis of courtesy and fairness to my opponent. I shall use no other methods in the campaign. If I cannot be elected without descending to mud-slinging tactics, I do not wish to go to the state senate, for, important as the office is, I feel that honesty and fairness are more to be valued. For the information of the voters, however, I desire to point out the untruths that have been published by the Ball for Senator Club. They are: That I was aligned with the Los Angeles Times against Phil Swing for Congress. This is untrue. That I worked against the Metropolitan Water bill. This is untrue. That I made frantic efforts to stay on the State Highway Commission. I made no effort whatever to do so. In fact, I submitted my resignation to Governor Richardson who accepted it. That I am against the Swing-Johnson Boulder Dam bill. This statement is without a single element of truth. I am strongly in favor of pending Boulder Dam legislation and if elected will support such supplementary legislation as may come before the state legislature. The statements of the Ball Club carry the general implication that I am "controlled" by some outside influence. I might answer this by quoting such good authority ah Congressman Swing, who declared in a public meeting at Santa Ana while I was a member of the State Highway Commission that he knew that I was not controlled by anyone and that he was well aware of my honesty and independence. I shall, however, rest my record with the voters of this county, who know me, and are. I believe, capable of judging the effort that is being made to discredit my character as a citizen and public officer. I repeat that I shall not descend, in this campaign to unfair or dishonorable The Valencia crop has been moved in an orderly manner. Shipments were heaviest during the period that Central California Valencias were being marketed, as their crop was the largest ever grown in that district. Exchange Valencia shipments to August 1 were 61 per cent of this year's estimated crop, as compared with 65 per cent in 1927, and 60 per cent in 1926. "We believe there is a larger percentage of the remaining Valencia crop in the hands of the Exchange shippers at this time than in most previous years," said Dana C. King, oranges sales manager. "We believe that the Exchange percentage from this time on may equal 85 per cent, as compared with 76 per cent in 1927 and 80 per cent in 1926." Export shipments to Great Britain and continental Europe have been maintained throughout the season, although in reduced volume. Sunkist fruit has been well received, and the shipments have been heavy enough to keep the Sunkist trade mark in all of the markets where it was distributed in 1927, and to make the fruit available for discriminating consumers. The foreign markets have taken an increasing quantity of California grapefruit at satisfactory prices throughout the summer months. "Everything looks very bright for the 1928-1929 California orange crop, which promises to start with a liberal movement from Central California about November 1," stated Mr. King. "The 1927 crop in that district was later in maturing than was the case the two previous years. Other crops in that district are early this year, and we expect that the Central California Navel crop will follow right in behind the clean-up of the Southern California Valencia crop. "There is every indication of a good crop of California citrus fruits of all varieties in all districts for the 1928-1929 season. A heavy crop of good quality fruit, widely distributed in an orderly manner will be enthusiastically received by the millions who look upon the California orange as 'Not only good but good for you.'" Subtropical Fruit Varieties at Fair Over one hundred varieties of subtropical fruits for which Orange county is well known throughout this country will again be on display in a special exhibit prepared by the Farm Advisor's staff of the county. The fruits will be shown on attractive plates and tagged with appropriate cards giving a description of the origin and use of each variety. The exhibit will be staged in a setting in keeping with the general motive of the Garden Beautiful. Growers who have not exhibited their rare subtropical fruits at previous fairs are invited to communicate with the Farm Advisor for display material this year. The public, and particularly out of county visitors, have found this dismay answer this by quoting such good authority ah Congressman Swing, who declared in a public meeting at Santa Ana while I was a member of the State Highway Commission that he knew that I was not controlled by anyone and that he was well aware of my honesty and independence. I shall, however, rest my record with the voters of this county, who know me, and are. I believe, capable of judging the effort that is being made to discredit my character as a citizen and public officer. I repeat that I shall not descend, in this campaign to unfair or dishonorable methods. I shall rely on the intelligence and the ideals of fair play of the people of this district to deal with the attacks being made upon me. If I am elected I shall serve the people of this district in accord with the standards of honesty and fairness which I maintain as a private citizen. Signed: NEFSON T. EDWARDS.

Development of the old Buena Vista mine in Mariposa county is now going ahead under the management of Walter Techow, Sacramento engineer. The Buena Vista Mining company was recently organized by Miss Cora Belle Roberts of Long Beach, who is president of the new company. Thirteen claims are in the group ten miles north of the town of Mariposa. There are two high-grade quartz veins of free-milling ore on the property which have been worked intermittently for the past thirty years. Dr. Techow is driving a tunnel 1500 feet long to a shaft being sunk 500 feet deep. As the mine is very wet the tunnel will act as a drain.

That's a job for an expert mechanic who has given it a thorough inspection. If you buy a used car here, we'll tell you honestly what we know about it's past and what condition it is in.

Perhaps in no other department of the big exhibition will the real meaning of this year's Fair slogan, "Bigger and Better," be so in evidence as in the agriculture department. This department of the Fair will be superintended by George T. Kellogg of Yorba Linda, who will have the active assistance of eight deputy superintendents each in charge of a section of the agriculture department. The farm center feature exhibits, which will be of two classes, specialized and diversified, will bulk large in this Fair and will be in charge of A. M. Stanley of Santa Anna, Hugh Miller of Fullerton will act as superintendent of the section devoted to the exhibits of commercial and civic organizations. Interesting and convincing plate exhibits showing the great variety and splendid quality of the sub-tropical and rare fruits and nuts grown in Southern California will have a prominent part in the agriculture department and will be displayed from a booth supervised by the Agriultural Extension Service. H. E. Wahiberg of Santa Ana will be superintendent of the slivation. Under the direction of John Osterman of Santa Ana and supervised by the Grain Growers' Department of the Orange County Farm Bureau, the plate exhibits of grains, beans, beets and seeds will be featured in three subdivisions. Plate exhibits of vegetables, fruits, melons, grapes and small fruits will have a section all to themselves, superintended by A. A. Brock of Santa Ana, being subdivided into five groups with many classifications of each. Florence culture exhibits, both professional and amateur, will be under the superintendency of P. S. Adkinson of Santa Ana and will be depended upon to do much to carry out "The Garden Beautitul," the central motif of the Fair. The bees of Southern California have not been idle during the past year, according to Roy K. Bishop of Orange, who will be superintendent of the apiary department at the Fair. Attractive cash and special awards for bees and their products are bringing out a record number of exhibits. Birds and small pets and gold fish will have a place of their own says Mrs. W. H. Tiltonn of Santa Ana. Valuable merchandise and other awards will go to the winners in the agriculture exhibits. Insectary Releases Many Parasites The successful propagation of the new mealybug feeders (Coccophagus sp., Diplosis sp., and Tetracnemus sp.) in the Orange County Insectary has permitted liberations in large numbers of these tiny enemies of the mealybug. During the first two weeks of August, over 120,000 of the above mentioned species new Chrysopid (lace wing) and a few Pullus sp. (the small ladybird) were released. It has been the endeavor of those in charge of this work to place these parasites in all sections of the county where the Citrophilus mealybug is known to exist. In this manner any peculiar climatic requirements of the different individuals may be met. Workers at the insectary have been encouraged by the prolific reproduction of these new insects and also by the fact that recovery was recently made from stock liberated sometime ago in the field. In view of the fact that the Citrophilus mealybug appears to be the native host at least one of these new parasites, great hope is held for its successful control of this outstanding citrus pest. It will, of course, take some time to determine whether or not these new species will become generally established in the county and also whether they will develop any secondary parasites which might decrease their efficiency. Perhaps there's nothing to fear. The exposed masculine knee hasn't demoralized Scotland. 1000 TURKEYS at our place. $257 net profits last year. You can do it on b acres. $125 gas you can start.
