Elimination of Low-Grade Asked (Continued from page 1) The managers of all associations affiliated with the Mutual Orange Distributors which handle oranges recently met and unanimously recommended again to the citrus industry that the traffic in loose and low-grade fruit be stopped, and that all fruit offered for sale be in standard packages. “The Mutual Orange Distributors is ready at any time to unite in a plan which will protect the markets against competition of inferior citrus fruits.” Mr. J. H. Strait, president of the organization advised today. “We have repeatedly made this announcement. Unfortunately we are unable to enforce such a policy so long as some shippers insist on dumping into markets an unrestricted flow of all grades of citrus fruits. “Since the beginning of the 1932 season, the Mutual Orange Distributors Million Paid By Placentia O. G. Manager Prizer Says Frost Damage to Some Fields Amounted to 90 Percent Gross returns for the Placentia Orange Growers’ association during the past year were $1,103,556.29. Manager J. A. Prizer reported at the annual meeting held at the Fullerton union high school Saturday morning. The association shipped 700,477 packed boxes, or 1516 cars, at an average net return to the grower of $1.35 per packed box, or 81.34 cents per field box. The latter figure does not include fruit dumped on account of frost. Out of the 1,136,119 boxes picked, 76,828 were not shipped because of frost damage. In some orchards, the frost damage amounted to as high as 90 per cent. Prizer said the average on valencias per field box on all fruit, culls, and By-products plant fruit, was 75.2 cents. The average return net to the grower, including loose fruit and all fruit handled, was equivalent to $1.258 per packed box. The manager said “while the return per acre was not satisfactory, as compared with other lines of business it must be considered well above the average. On average groves of this association it permitted growers to break even on operating expenses while others made some money. However, in few cases did it permit any one to pay interest on land values at $5000 per acre. On the other hand, it is doubtful if any large agricultural crop brought even cultural costs.” The manager stressed the fact that the grade had been very low for the year just past and that the percentage of Sunkist amounted to only 52.4 percent. This is the lowest percentage of any year save one during the past 16 years. This low trade was quite largely due to wind scar, thrip injury and scurf. He said, however, over $20 acres of the association were badly affected with frost, which caused a lowering of the percentage of first grade fruit.

Wilhelm of Anaheim, seeks $21,614 damages, in a joint suit against Victoria Alden Sovel, driver of the other machine in an accident on July 24, 1932. When Mrs. Bosezella Flinn of Anaheim lost her life, Court action began Saturday when the suit was filed in the superior court. The accident took place on Grand Avenue, a mile and a half north of Buena Park. Dr. Wilhelm alleges that the defendant was driving her car on a reckless and negligent manner, thus causing the collision. Co-plaintiffs in the case are his wife, Ellen Wilhelm and her brothers and sisters, A. O. Ellin, Ralph Flinn, Velva Badgett, Dona Badgett, Edna Van de Vegt andatherine Godfrey. Dr. Wilhelm asks $10,000 for his injuries, another $10,000 because he alleges they will be permanent, $675 for loss of earnings, $700 for treatment of his injuries, $179 for automobile damage and $50 for loss of use of his car. "The Mutual Orange Distributors is ready at any time to unite in a plan which will protect the markets against competition of inferior citrus fruits." Mr. J. H. Strait, president of the organization advised today. "We have repeatedly made this announcement. Unfortunately we are unable to enforce such a policy so long as some shippers insist on dumping into markets an unrestricted flow of all grades of citrus fruits. "Since the beginning of the 1932 season, the Mutual Orange Distributors has maintained that the only real cure and the only plan which psychologically and economically is sound, in combating low returns is that of immediate elimination from all channels of trade of low-grade fruit," Mr. C. P. Earley, general manager, said. "The present uncontrolled traffic in loose and low-grade oranges must be stopped. It is unfortunate for the industry that our suggestion in this respect has not been followed. Despite the fact that all associations affiliated with the Mutual Orange Distributors are regulating shipments the prices for quality fruits will be held down until all fruit which is unfit to be marketed is not offered for sale or sold. "No plan of which we have been advised has even promised to overcome this major evil. They have all pointed almost wholly to the protection of low-grade fruit at the expense of the good fruit. In the operation of the abandoned pro-rate such was the result. While a certain number of carloads of good fruit were pro-rated and shipped out of the front door, at the same time inferior fruit was being sold through the back-door as loose fruit or in place of packs to compete at ruinous prices with our good, advertised fruit. It is useless to throw away good fruit and at the same time continue to sell culls and standards." A representative of the Mutual Orange Distributors recently made a personal inspection of northern California markets to determine what effect the traffic in loose and low-grade fruit has had on the demand and price for quality goods. "The growth of the loose fruit business," the representative comments, "is one of the most alarming phases of the whole situation. Anyone who goes into the markets where loose and low-grade fruit is being sold will see what it is doing to prices. And no one is profiting by it. The grower, the jobber, the dealer and the consumer all are being penalized in this protection of inferior products. The time has come when we must cease trying to compete with peddlers and place the industry on a sound basis."

REMOVAL NOTICE Anaheim Fish Market Formerly with Knott's Market at 115 N. Los Angeles St. —NOW AT— 120 West Chartres St. PHONE 4532 Prompt Delivery Service Full Line or Fresh Fish and Poultry Support Needed For Tax Slashes Mussatti Says People Must Give Up Some Paternalistic Government Services California citizens must give up some of the paternalistic services of government if they are going to lessen the tax demands made upon them, and drastic action by the people of the state in cooperation with the legislators at Sacramento will be necessary to keep the state deficit in the next biennium, 1933-35, from mounting to more than $60,000,000, executive-Secretary James Mussatti of the California Taxpayers' association told members of the El Toro club recently. Mussatti said: "The state will probably complete the present biennium with a $8,000,000 deficit. Fixed charges will amount to $86,000,000 for the next biennium and controllable ites will amount to $60,000,-000, making a total of $154,000,000 expenditures which the state must meet for the fiscal biennium, 1933-35. It is estimated that revenue receipts will amount to $91,000,000, leaving a deficit of $63,000,000. "If the state is to meet this situation without levying new and increased taxes, rigid economy and retrenchment will have to be practiced. This will entail a program which will eliminate unnecessary functions of government such as the state bureau of commerce which has been costing the state $39,000 per annum." "(2) Elimination of duplicating functions of government such as milk inspection, which in one California county results in seven identical inspections of one dairy." "(3) The abolition of unnecessary services of government, such as the state nautical school at Liburon which since 1929 has cost the state about $200,000 and the state Polytechnic school at San Luis Obispo which costs $190,000 per year." "Curtailment and economy of this kind will bring forth powerful opposition but if the state is to finish the biennium, 1933-35, without a deficit of over $60,000,000, the people are going income. Proposed changes will be made by the legislature and the people will be called upon to cast ballots on these proposals. They should vote on a basing thought and analysis of facts and not on sentiment or emotion. "We are facing a crucial situation, which calls for all the patriotism that the people of this state can show. "During the past three years government in the United States has been drifting towards paternalism. The people have grown into a habit of running to government with all of their illions instead of devising ways of self help. The continuance of this practice will eventually destroy the individual liberty which has been the basis of the American constitution and has been so basic in the development of the American republic. An articulate well defined public opinion is needed to check and control public expenditures."
