Crocheron Reports Oriental Markets “If large markets for California fruit are to be developed in Asia they can only be created through extensive trade promotion over an extended period.” Such was the announcement of Professor B. H. Crocheron, Director of Agricultural Extension in the University of California, on his return from an investigation of eight months into the markets of the Far East, under the Joint auspices of the University of California and the United States Department of Commerce. The party returned last week, having stopped at Washington, D.C., enroute to confer with Government officials regarding their findings. Crocheron is State Leader of Farm Advisors. “Our extensive report,” said Professor Crocheron, “is com pled and ready for the printer. The outlook for larger markets for California fruit is so involved and complex that it is difficult to describe the situation in a brief state ment. “Nowhere did we find millions of natives waiting expectantly for California fruit. If they need our fruit they do not know it. Everywhere we found on sale an abundance of local fruits at very low prices. With these the statistics are entirely satisfied. There is no opportunity to ship large quantities of fruit to Asia which will be bought at good prices by spontaneous demand. “On the other hand, there are abundant opportunities to gradually develop a considerable market for small packages of canned and dried fruits provided anyone were willing to spend large sums of money in skillful trade promotion for a considerable period of years. Unfortunately, we do not believe that even such trade promotion could develop big enough markets in short enough time to be of material help in raising the price level of California fruits to the farmer during the present depression. The production of California is so vast and our present exports of fruit to Asia so small that even doubling or quadrupling our present exports would not be of any perceptible benefit. The opportunities presented by trade promotion in Asia could only be realized after a considerable series of years of painstaking effort. The value of trade Federal Hay Grades Advised About two years ago a Federal Hay grader was placed in the Los Angeles market with the idea of making available to hay buyers and sellers alike government grading service. After about six month's preliminary study of the market and meeting with the trade, a demand was seen to exist for this service. Accordingly the Division of markets of the State Department of Agriculture and United States Department of Agriculture cooperated in the establishment of hay grades and the development of market news service relative to the supply and demand of hay tegethe rwth the price that each grade is bringing on the market. With the practical working out of this program, a hay buyer once familiar with the grade best suited to his needs, need spend no further time in traveling around to inspect hay as to its quality before purchasing. A certain government grade is stipulated and referring to the market news report, the price at which that grade is selling is quickly learned. The same applies to the one selling hay; namely, the producer. Through the channels of the market news service he is constantly informed on the market situation as to suppl yal demand and the prices that the various grades are bringing. Familiarity with freight or hauling charges to market established the price which the producer should receive on the ranch. If the grower is particular about curing and putting up hay so the leaves and color are restrained, he is repaid in grading, as it will grade up and thus command a higher price. Since graders were placed in the San Francisco markets a demand has developed from producers for shipping point grading. This has necessitated the placing of graders in the San Joaquin and Imperial Valleys. Discusses Irrigation.

Upon their return the two Orange County representatives will report their observations to the directors of the Farm Bureau. Eradicating Weeds California, while eradicating, quarantining and protecting, is not forgetting to fight one of agriculture worst enemies—weeds. Latest reports from the state department of agriculture, bodes no good for uninvited guests of the fields. United with the University of California agricultural authorities, state experts are to resume the battle against noxious plants, and prevent introduction of any new members of the weed family that annually cost American agriculture more than three million dollars. "Up to the present time, the problem of fighting weeds has been left mainly to county authorities," said George H. Hecke, state director of agriculture. "And the county authority has in turn left the job mainly to the farmer himself. Thus there has been a certain laxness in fighting weeds, since there has been a certain laxness in fighting weeds, since there has been no cooperated effort." Those weeds that are principally to deserve the displeasure of experts are, morning glory, Johnson grass, yellow In the Interest Vote April M. W. MARTENET, JR. Candidates for the Anahe Read What the Candidate more than three million dollars. "Up to the present time, the problem of fighting weeds has been left mainly to county authorities," said George H. Hecke, state director of agriculture. "And the county authority has in turn left the job mainly to the farmer himself. Thus there has been a certain laxness in fighting weeds, since there has been a certain laxness in fighting weeds, since there has been no cooperated effort." Those weeds that are principally to deserve the displeasure of experts are, morning glory, Johnson grass, yellow star thistle and puncture vine. The latter, puncture vine, (Tribulus Terrestris) has been the worst offender, according to Hecke, and spread of this dangerous weed has been enormous in the past few years. Since railroad, highway, supervisorial boards and farm bureau, have united in the fight against weeds, there has been evidence of widespread interest. A flood of requests for weed samples are received daily, that agricultural authorities may study them, Hecke stated. There is one thing to be said for long skirts if they last over the summer. They may cure the country of being knee conscious. The Most Selective Set Made 113 So. L. A. Anaheim Read What the Candidates About Their Residents, Only, Is for the City.
