Monahan of the Anaheim Citrus Fruit association, demonstrate "very clearly the absolute necessity of organized effort on the part of citrus fruit growers in the state of California to bring about the successful marketing of their crops." Going further into detail of decreased buying power, Mr. Monahan continued, "The condition in 1931 was aggravated. Some frozen fruit complicated matters, but "excluding this frozen fruit we were able to show a greater percentage of Sunkist than has been the case for several seasons," the manager stated. Further complicating the marketing was the small sizes, weakness of the valenclas, and competition from peaches. Refunds for the past year amounted to $92,605.86, or $.21484 per box on the 130,982 packed boxes shipped. Gross returns for all varieties was $802,127.49.

Competition from Florida Fruit, Peaches a Problem Conditions such as the country has experienced in 1931, and is experiencing in 1932, according to Secretary-Manager Carl E. Monahan of the Anaheim Citrus Fruit association, demonstrate "very clearly the absolute necessity of organized effort on the part of citrus fruit growers in the state of California to bring about the successful marketing of their crops." Going further into detail of decreased buying power, Mr. Monahan continued, "The condition in 1931 was aggravated by the existing economic conditions, which brought about a reduced buying power on the part of the average family, causing a lower net return (for Orange county valencias) than would naturally be expected in years of comparable crops." The 1931 crop he described as a "bumper," which in itself created problems of distribution and selling. New Process Successful In commenting on the Hypo-Clor process of washing and sterilizing of fruit installed by his association before the opening of the last valencia season, Mr. Monahan said: "A thorough investigation of the merits of this process was made prior to its actual installation, which revealed that users were of the opinion that the general grade of the fruit put through the house was raised at least 5% over other methods of washing. Transverse polishers and wax applicators were also installed. The combination of the Hypo-Clor process and the application of wax to the oranges proved to be a very decided advantage to our growers. The fruit received a thorough cleansing, and after being polished and waxed, a higher grade resulted, thereby causing a higher return to the grower. We felt it necessary to put out a packed box of fruit which would attract the buyer to our brands. This was done, and the result was that many new customers were gained and our brands thereby gained a wider distribution." Pre-icing Aids Prices Many factors entered into picking, packing and marketing of valencias last year, Mr. Monahan states. Among these were two outstanding problems, to wit: Florida fruit still was being put on the market at the time we began to pick valencias, and the local fruit was not keeping, as to quality, the way that we desired. This brought about pre-icing of fruit, bringing about 25 cents extra per packed box than otherwise would have been secured. Some frozen fruit complicated matters, but "excluding this frozen fruit we were able to show a greater percentage of Sunkist than has been the case for several seasons," the manager stated. Further 'complicating the marketing was the small sizes, weakness of the valencias, and competition from peaches. Refunds for the past year amounted to $92,605.86, or $21484 per box on the 430,982 packed boxes shipped. Gross returns for all varieties was $802,127.49. In commenting on the financial structure of the association, Manager Monahan said that it owns 948 shares of stock in the Exchange Orange Products company and 10,196 shares, equivalent to $101,960. In the Fruit Growers Supply company. Some trust certificates of the latter cover 1918-19 to 1922-23 have not been submitted for redemption, which the association is paying off as presented. Trucks of the association were sold to an Anaheim transfer company and $0.03 per loose box is saved in hauling. The association supervised fumigating of 70,167 trees last year.

Emily St. Thousands of "Hoor California," visiting called by President the Indians state so annual basket picnic day, Feb. 28, at Syracuse (Pasadena 46). INTEREST in the coming Presidential campaign has been stimulated by the announcement by Alfred E. Smith that he will run on the Democratic ticket if drafted. Mr. Hoover is practically unchallenged as the Republican candidate and Calvin Coolidge has reclaimed his will support him. But just as Gov. Roosevelt, of New York, seemed to have the Democratic nomination sewed up, some of his supporters even going so far as to say that it would take only two ballots to decide the issue. Al Smith threw a monkey-wrench into the machinery. Smith's statement was succinct, and declared that he was willing to accept the nomination if it was tendered him, but that he would make no active campaign ahead of the convention. Reduced to plain words, his declaration was an invitation to all his friends to get out and corral delegates for him in the various state primaries. Every delegate accepts it is believed here will have to be deducted from those who had been placed in the Roosevelt column. Several states are known to be for Smith, in preference to any other man, namely the Massachusetts, New Jersey, Hampsis and perhaps Pennsylvania and New York, to mention only a few. Other New England states are also expected to vayor the "Happy Warrior," and their action will change the overwhelming lead claimed by the Roosevelt faction to a perhaps insignificant total. At least two other candidates are expected to benefit by Smith's election. They are John N. Garner, of Texas, and Newton D. Baker, of Ohio. Close observers here place the chances now of leading candidates in the following order: 1. John N. Garner; 2. Newton D. Baker; 3. Franklin D. Roosevelt; 4. Alfred E. Smith. Governor Richie, of FEDERAL AID FOR PEACH GROWERS Representative to Arrive Next Week; Completed Contract Is Mailed California cling peach growers and other agricultural agencies which have been seeking the active support of the federal farm board were given assurance today that a representative of the farm-board will arrive in California next week to assist them in their production and marketing problems. Dudley Moulton, director of the state department of agriculture, and John F. Hale of Yuba City, chairman of the state-wide cling peach stabilization committee, were advised in telegrams from California's congressional delegation that Dr. Hutzel Metzger, assistant chief of the division of cooperative marketing of the federal farm board, will arrive in Sacramento by the latter part of next week to take up the problems of California farmers and fruit growers. CONTRACT MALLED The telegrams advised Director Moulton that the farm board plans for assistance as agreed to with Dr. Theodore Macklin, chief of the state division of markets, on his recent trip to Washington, had met with the full approval of the board Friday. As a result of this approval, Dr. Metzger will be prepared to work with the state department of agriculture and the University of California in an attempted solution of the problems now confronting the farmers of this state. Coincident to the announcement of Dr. Metzger's coming, Chairman Hale of the state-wide cling peach committee announced today that the completed contract by which it is hoped to cement all cling peach growers into a state-wide federation has been mailed to the five existing cooperative associations and it is expected it will meet with approval in time for final consideration by Dr. Metzger when he reaches the state next week. Wallhide, the new wall paint, made Murdered Statesman John N. Garner; 2, Newton D. Baker; 3, Franklin D. Roosevelt; 4, Alfred E. Smith. Governor Richie of Maryland, and Melvin Traylor, the Chicago banker, are the most prominent of the dark horses in the race. Garner's popularity with Democrats all over the country is due to his undeniably skillful handling of the House of Representatives as its Speaker. For years he has studied at close hand the duties of that office and when the position came to him he moved right in and saw to it that needed legislation, whether sponsored by his own party or the Republicans, was promptly enacted. As the Democratic candidate, he will be able to claim equal credit for any of the recent legislation that President Hoover has initiated, by his part in seeing that it became a law. If he continues his effective work as Speaker up to the time the Convention meets, the Texan will be in the front of the balloting, his enthusiastic supporters are now claiming. Newton D. Baker's appeal to the country is based upon a long and unblemished career in public office, and particularly on his work as Secretary of War in Wilson's Cabinet during the World War. He is one of the strongest men in the councils of the Ohio Democratic Party. The anti-Hoover sentiment seems to be declining. The chief opposition to him has been based upon the charge that he has done nothing constructive to combat the hard times. This theory no longer holds, observers here say, pointing to the two billion dollar Reconstruction Finance Corporation, now actuary effective, and the subsequent move to coax the hidden money reserves of the country out of the pockets of the hoarders. The two measures are expected by him, and most of the economists, to be halting the present depression. In selecting a chairman for this board which will combat the evils of hoarding, the President named one of the country's foremost publishers, Col. Frank Knox, of the Chicago Daily News. Col. Knox intends to turn himself into a colossal pres-sident with the view of making every paper in the land carry stories showing the evils now being wrought in those who keep their savings out of circulation. The slogan of the campaign will be based upon the thought that every dollar withdrawn from circulation by hoarders ties up ten dollars in debt. In other words, everybody who takes $200 out of the sock and puts it in the bank will add one ordinary worker to farmers of this state. Coincident to the announcement of Dr. Metzger's coming, Chairman Hale of the state-wide cling peach committee announced today that the completed contract by which it is hoped to cement all cling peach growers into a state-wide federation has been mailed to the five existing cooperative associations and it is expected it will meet with approval in time for final consideration by Dr. Metzger when he reaches the state next week.
