Wellman To Speak On Orange Prices Growers Are Invited To Hear Specialist at Fullerton High School Friday Evening A discussion of vital interest to all citrus fruit growers interested in improved returns per acre is scheduled for Friday, March 25th, 7:30 p.m. at Fullerton high school auditorium. Dr. H. R. Wellman, extension specialist in agricultural economics of the University of California will speak on the subject "Factors Affecting Prices of Oranges and Economics of Surplus Control." Following his address, the meeting will be thrown open for a general discussion of the marketing and surplus problems that confront the industry and all growers are welcome to ask questions and discuss fully the various points covered in the presentation. The purpose of the meeting, which is under the auspices of the University of California, is to discuss with citrus growers some of the factors that affect the present market as well as the elements that can be controlled by growers in an effort to improve prices and market conditions. To Answer Questions Such questions will be answered as: What is the cash value of regulation of shipments in times of surplus supply? How far can shipments be regulated with profit? Is demand synonymous with consumption? What price factors can be influenced by the individual grower; what by growers collectively; what factors cannot be influenced by growers either singly or through group action? For many years a student of the economics of the citrus industry, on which he has written a number of widely read pamphlets, Dr. Wellman will make an impartial analysis of the situation.

This fact was revealed when State Mineralologist Walter W. Bradley filed What is the cash value of regulation of shipments in times of surplus supply? How far can shipments be regulated with profit? Is demand synonymous with consumption? What price factors can be influenced by the individual grower; what by growers collectively; what factors cannot be influenced by growers either singly or through group action? For many years a student of the economics of the citrus industry, on which he has written a number of widely read pamphlets, Dr. Wellman will make an impartial analysis of the situation. His statements are based upon statistics of the industry and should provide food for thought and study. All growers are cordially invited to be present. Citrus Growers To Hold Mass Meeting All Co-operatives Co-operate In Putting Forth Marketing Data for 1932 All citrus growers of Orange county are urged by leaders of the industry to attend a mass meeting Friday, March 25, 2:00 P.M., at the Orange union high school. The surplus problem which has developed the past year and will continue for some time has caused some concern among all growers in the problem of marketing. The Agricultural extension service of the University of California has made an analysis of the surplus situation and a study of factors involved in present trends of demand, purchasing power and surplus control. A clear explanation of the investigation conducted by the university at the request of the marketing organizations in the citrus industry will be presented by Dr. H. R. Wellman, marketing specialist of the agricultural extension service. Regardless of affiliation, whether exchange, M. O. D., or independent, every grower should avail himself of the pertinent information to be presented at this meeting, according to Farm Advisor Harold E. Wahlberg. It concerns the entire industry and every grower. Most of the fruit associations in the county are circularizing their members and asking them to attend. Cooperating with the agricultural extension service in the success of this meeting are Willard Smith, member board of supervisors; J. W. Crill, president, Orange county farm bureau; C. C. Hillis, manager Orange county exchange; George Crawford, manager Northern Orange county exchange; and Bruce McDaniel, Mutual Orange Distributors. Report to Governor Shows Products for 1932 Valued at $26,335,290 Orange county, which ranks first in the United States in per capita wealth for farming districts ranks fourth in value of mineral products produced in California last year. This fact was revealed when State Mineralogist Walter W. Bradley filed his report with Governor James Rolph. The report showed Orange county mineral production for 1931 as $26,-335,290, while the total production for the 58 counties was $365,604,695. One county, Sutter, contributed nothing. Of the 51 different mineral substances, gold loomed rather important, increasing from $8,.526,703 to $9,451,162. Other features of the report included: A decline in the amount and value of petroleum production, with decreases in the amount and values of cement, natural gas, copper, miscellaneous stone, salt, brick and hollow building tile, and pottery clay. Increases in gold, mineral water, borax, potashh, quicksilver, lime and lead. "Petroleum showed a decrease in value of $49,607,817," the report said. "There was a decrease from 392,534,221 barrels to 227,328,688. The 929 output of crude oil was the largest in the history of California, and the decrease was due to curtailment in production rather than decreased prices." Of the structural materials, lime was the only important item to show an increase which was from 42,834 tons worth $417,101, to 47,662 tons worth $452,084. Cement decreased from 12,-794,729 barrels, worth 021,438,656 to 9,831,938 barrels, worth $14,575,731; brick and hollow building tile from $5,607,410 to $4,205,460, and miscellaneous stone from $197,840,159 to $16,-430,027.

Bees and Honey to be Featured at State Fair California's standing as the leading honey-producing state of the union caused the state fair directors this week to create a special department for exhibits of bees and honey at this year's exposition, September 3rd to 10th. "California is the sweetest state from more than one standpoint," commented A. B. Miller, president of the Board, after the action was taken. Paul E. Ticks Is Busy This Spring (Continued from page 1) 2850 votes, therefore, may very well determine the outcome. No one candidate at present has sufficient support to assure him of election, but Mann comes the nearest to it, in our estimation, with Neuschaffer a close second. Koehler will draw quite heavily from the retail merchante' group, as well as from the west end; Pletrok with scattered support hasn't shown the strength as yet to be a formidable opponent. But the election is nearly three weeks away, and many things can happen in that time. VOTE FOR Charles E. Griffith 205 SO.

State Gas Tax Shows Big Loss Drop of 11.14 Percent for Month Partly Caused by Price "War" Veterans Backing Newport For Site Pick Beach for Unified Support for $900,000 Government Hospital Gas Firm Builds $1,000,000 Lines 200 Men Will Be Put to Work This Summer on the H. B.-S. D. Project Plans are being pushed today in the general offices of Southern County Gas company for the construction of the 12-inch transmission line which will supply natural gas to San Diego. The line will begin at Huntington Beach and will extend to La Jolla where it will connect with the distribution manufaclery of the San Diego Consolidated Gas and Electric company. Much remains to be done in the way of surveys and the obtaining of rights-of-way and it may be between 60 and 90 days before actual construction work begins, according to an announcement by F. S. Wade, president of Southern Counties Gas company. "The building of this new mine comes at a very opportune time," said Mr. Wade, "since it will provide employment for many of the men in the company's construction department who otherwise might be without work this summer." It is estimated that the cost of the line will amount to $1,000,000, and the approximately 200 men will be employed for a period of four months. It expected that the line will be completed by about September 1. The maximum capacity of the line will be approximately 24,000 cubic feet per day. This is substantially more than will be required under normal conditions for several years. Legal Fray Continues On Bastanchury Ran State Gas Tax Shows Big Loss Drop of 11.14 Percent for Month Partly Caused by Price "War" A loss of 11.14 per cent in the state gasoline tax for February, compared with an average of the first three months in 1931, was reported recently by John C. Corbett, member of the state board of equalization from the first district. A tax of $2,987,270.02 was assessed by the board, representing sales by gasoline distributors during the month of 100,581,480 gallons. "Although this loss appears unduly heavy," said Corbett, "it must be remembered that during the first quarter of 1931 a gasoline price war was being waged among the companies." "During such a war the sales of gasoline immediately mount. Motorists do more traveling and many who have storage facilities buy at low prices." "Admittedly, the price war does not entirely explain the loss of more than 11 per cent experienced in February, but it is a heavy contributing factor." Because of the fact that California did not begin collecting the gasoline tax on a monthly basis until April 1, 1931, only an average of the first three months of 1931 can be used to compare with the February assessment. The January, 1932, assessment fell off about nine per cent compared with the three months average of 1931. Veterans Backing Newport For Site Pick Beach for Unified Support for $900,000 Government Hospital If the brief prepared by H. L. Sherman of Balboa, with the unanimous backing of ex-service organizations in Orange county, proves successful, the $900,000 veterans' hospital designated for Southern California will be constructed at Newport Beach. American Legion officials of this county followed the recommendation of a committee, which met last week and picked Newport as Orange county's most favorable location. The committee was: Chairman J. P. Sidebottom of Anaheim; Earl Moore of San Clemente; Kenneth Kesler of La Habra; Jack Phillips of Brea; Irwin George Gordon, of Balboa. Other sites are being offered by Arrowhead Hot Springs, San Bernardino county; Banning, Riverside county; and Carlsbad, San Diego county. Imperial county hasn't submitted a site, passing this opportunity to San Diego. The petition was to be put in the hands of Santa Ana's Wilbar Getty. Southern California member of the Legion department's rehabilitation commission, who was to hold it pending outcome of the measure now before congress, submitted by Senator Hiram Johnson and Congressman Phil Swing of California.

Pilgrimage to Shrines of Orpheus is planned Featuring a pilgrimage to the great shrines of Orpheus, a music study tour of Europe is to be directed this summer by Prof. Horatio Cogswell of the college of music, University of Southern California. A group of music students, teachers, musicians, and music lovers will visit the homes of music festivals, and will attend, for study purposes, operas and concerts in Paris, Munich, Salzberg, Vienna and London. "We plan to follow in the footsteps of Mozart, Beethoven, Handel, Wagner, and many other composers, and to enjoy brief sojourns at places of historic cultural, and scenic interest," stated Prof. Cogswell. Newspapers Prove Advertising Value Vindicating its belief in newspaper advertising, the Monticello Drug company's national campaign in 666 Salve was conducted exclusively in newspapers and produced remarkable results, according to word received from Jacksonville, Florida, this week. President T. S. Roberts' letter to the Anaheim Gazette, which was one of the California papers used in this contest, stated in part: "The 666 Salve contest recently conducted owes most of its success to newspaper advertising. No radio or bill boards were used in this campaign. This contest was of national scope and thousands of entries were received from every state in the union."
