Market Improved by Record Movement Orange and Lemon Shipments Setting New Records Each Month Record quantities of valencia oranges and lemons were sold during the month of July and the first half of August, with great improvement in the market situation. Total shipments of California oranges for the month of July were 5,775 cars, as compared with 3,344 cars in July, 1928, 4,547 cars in July, 1927, and 4,627 cars in July, 1926. Lemon shipments exceeded those of any previous July, as was the case in June. "Demand has been good throughout the valencia season, and the liberal quantities and reasonable prices that have prevailed have made it possible to maintain the interest of the trade, both wholesale and retail. In the distribution of a large volume of oranges and reasonable retail prices have given us an exceptional demand from the consumer," said Dana C. King, Exchange orange sales manager. Seasonal fruits have been in the market in considerable volume, but not in the surplus that has existed in some years. "We are positive that the use of orange juice by the glass, instead of the eating of oranges by peeling or slicing, is alone responsible for our being able to sell the large quantity of extremely small fruit," said Mr. Kings. "The Exchange developed the devices for extracting the juice, and through its advertising has created the habit for orange juice as a beverage." "Toward the latter part of July, with increased hot weather demand and a better balance between the total supplies enroute and existing demand, the market began to show material improvement, and prices are now nearly $1.00 a box higher than a month ago," stated Mr. King. District Manager McDonald, New York, estimated that the consumption of oranges as juice was increased at least one-third by hot weather. Export shipments to the United Kingdom and Continental Europe have continued heavy. The movement of California valencia oranges and grapefruit through the Panama canal to foreign countries has already exceeded a million boxes for the season, far ahead of the total movement in any previous year. A considerable speculative demand from abroad has been supplied by outside shippers. The Exchange plan in the export markets is the same as in the domestic trade, that of actually distributing fruit to the points where it is sold and selling only to those actually engaged in the distribution. The speculators, with too heavy shipments at the beginning of the season, produced a very low market abroad, and heavy losses were sustained by all shippers. The markets over-seas have improved materially during the past month, and are now on a satisfactory basis. Exchange European shipments for July were 159,903 boxes, with a contemplated movement of 203,480 boxes in August, and 173,585 in September. The foreign markets are using a considerable proportion of very small sizes, and are a valued outlet this season. The African orange crop, a competitor in Europe heavily with 1,100,000 cases previously increased shipment and packing it more African orange Britain. In dian market some South there."

Increased shipments are also being received from South America, and a great improvement is reported in the grading and packing of this latter fruit, making it more competitive. Quantities of African canes, reshipped from Great Britain, have arrived in eastern Canadian markets, and there has also been some South American fruit received there. The Exchange re-estimate of the valencia crop to go as of August 1 developed a reduction of 501 cars, as compared with the estimate of July 1. This was largely due to the market conditions during that prevented the shipment of a considerable quantity of extremely cold weather crops would be required to the producer. Under low market conditions the silage was at the maximum intake was also a dropping of fruit in some districts.

Many a woods fire or grass fire is caused by burning cigarettes or matches tossed out of moving cars along the road. Various experiments on the use of alfalfa meal for livestock show that the grinding of alfalfa hay into meal has little effect on the feeding value, the chief advantages of the meal being that it can be fed with less waste than hay, is in more convenient form, and can be shipped at less expense. The advice of an agricultural specialist is often instrumental in saving large sums of money to a community. In a community in South Carolina plans were being made to sell stock and organized a cheese factory. A careful survey by a specialist from the Bureau of Dairy Industry, showed that a sufficient volume of milk and other necessary requirements for successful operation were lacking and upon its advice the project was abandoned. The cost of the building and equipment as planned would have been at least $10,000. Have you figured out the amounts of various feeds the dairy cow will need for the coming year? A cow weighing 4,000 pounds and giving 25 pounds of milk a day testing 4% will require in one year, when the pasture season lasts for six months, 5,400 pounds of silage, 2,500 pounds of hay and 2,000 pounds of grain. Larger or high producing cows will need a little more feed, and smaller or low-producing cows a little less. There is no "care-all" for all types of worms that intestine cattle and other animals.

Feed flavors and odors in milk are most frequently caused by succulent The Exchange re-estimate of the valencia crop to go as of August 1 developed a reduction of 501 cars, as compared with the estimate of July 1. This was largely due to the market conditions during that period, which prevented the shipment of a considerable quantity of extremely large quantities of fruit to the producer. Under the market conditions the sultage was at the maximum, and it was also a dropping of fruit in some districts. The August estimate was compiled on the basis of sizes to go, as well as volume, and presents the fact that the peak size on the remainder of the crop is the 288, making up 24.4 per cent of the total. Estimates indicate 28 per cent of sizes to go of 276.4. The average size on all Exchange valencias from Southern California up to the present time is 218.6. The average size on Exchange valencias from Southern California in 1928 was 208.1, and 230.8 in 1927. Of the remaining quantity the Exchange estimates indicate 72.1 per cent of what are known as small sizes (2528 and smaller). The August estimate indicates an Exchange crop or 30,612 (162 hect) cars of valencias, as compared with 15,423 cars in 1928, 29,477 in 1927, and 18,427 cars in 1926. The August movement of Exchange valencias is now estimated at 4,900 carloads, which leaves around 12,000 cars to go as of September 1. "Unless an unexpected demand for this extremely small fruit develops during September and October, it now seems certain that a considerable proportion of these sizes must remain in California," said the Exchange sales manager. "The Exchange by-product plants at Ontario and Corona are using large quantities of this surplus small fruit, indicating the value of this operation to Exchange members by the making of valuable products from fruit that would otherwise be entirely lost, or if shipped, would materially reduce the value of all oranges." In 1928 the Exchange shipments of valencias after September 1 were 3,817 cars in 1927, 4,801 cars, and in 1826, 5,051 cars. Exchange shipments this year in the same period will be at least double that of any previous season. There is every indication of a continuing good demand in domestic and Canadian markets for the remainder of the valencia season. Supplies of peaches, pears and early apples are reported below normal, which will be of considerable help in the distribution of the maximum quantity of oranges. Exchange shippers have been working on a regular program of shipments, and under this plan the market has shown pronounced improvement during the past few weeks. During the week ending August 3, 1,258 cars of California oranges were shipped, of which Exchange shippers furnished 1,162 cars, and outside shippers 196 cars, or 85.6 per cent for the Exchange. Last week total shipments were 1,689 cars; Exchange 1,123 cars; outside 566 cars; or an increase in outside ship- There is no "cure-all" for all types of worms that infest poultry and other animals.

Drug and Insecticide Administration, U.S. Department of Agriculture. Feed flavors and odors in milk are most frequently caused by succulent feeds. When fed to dairy cows one hour before milking, silage made from corn, alfalfa, sweet clover or soy beans, and green alfalfa, cabbage, turnips, rape and kale seriously affect the flavor and odor of milk. Milk is affected only slightly by green rye, green cowpeas, potatoes, dried beet pulp, or carrots. Green corn, green oats and peas, green soybeans, pumpkins, and sugar beets have practically no effect on the flavor and odor of milk. Our annual "wash bill" from soil erosion amounts to many millions of dollars, and remedies for this enormous waste can be applied better now than later, say soil scientists of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, who recommend the following control measures: Soil-saving and water-saving terraces should be built in thousands of fields. Much steep land and highly crosive soil used for clean-cultivated crops should be devoted to permanent pasture or timber. Over-grazed ranges should be regulated according to their carrying capacity. Fire prevention on watersheds should be practiced. The census bill has been signed. Get your ages ready girls. Everywhere in the country you see ported below normal, which will be of considerable help in the distribution of the maximum quantity of oranges. Exchange shippers have been working on a regular program of shipments, and under this plan the market has shown pronounced improvement during the past few weeks. During the week ending August 3, 1,258 cars of California oranges were shipped, of which Exchange shippers furnished 1,162 cars, and outside shippers 196 cars, or $5.6 per cent for the Exchange. Last week total shipments were 1,689 cars, Exchange 1,123 cars, outside 566 cars, or an increase in outside shipments of 188.8 per cent compared with the previous week. This great increase in outside shipments will certainly be reflected in the market at a time when the total supply requires very careful consideration to prevent too much fruit being available for immediate sale. If Exchange shipments last week had been increased in the same ratio as non-Exchange total shipments of oranges from the state last week would have been 3,322 cars. There has been a very strong market on grapefruit during the summer months. Sizes of this fruit have also run very small, and there have been extreme variations in values on the larger sizes, as compared with prices on the large quantity of small fruit. Most of the remaining crop will be used in the coast markets, as quite heavy shipments of Porto Rico will soon be arriving in New York for distribution (eastern territory). In reviewing the excellent market situation on lemons, T. H. Powell, exchange lemon sales manager, said: "For some time our shippers have been moving all fruit available and suitable for consumption and shipment are still running above 50 cars a day, which is well over the August average. That there has been no shortage of lemons this summer is indicated by the fact that not only are California shipments for summer months exceeding those of all previous years, but the total supply to American market to date is likewise the largest on record." Mr. Powell also stated that returns to Exchange shippers to August 1 were over $500,000 ahead of the record returns of last year to the same date.
