Ditch committee submitted the following report: Trustees of Anaheim Water company: Dear Sirs: The undersigned appointed committee to construct and lengthen the new main canal of the Anaheim Water company, has completed their task and ask to be discharged. We think the canal has sufficient fall to carry a large stream of water, at present it is carrying a large amount of mud, but in two or three months, when that clears up, we think the banks will be strong enough without brush network. Should there develop some weak places zanjero could easily strengthen them with poles and brush. We advise the planting of both sides of canal for shade and strength. For that purpose we advise Sycamore, considering them better with little added cost. The length of the new canal is now 2771½ yards, and the total cost to date $283.15. There must be 300 or 400 yards on river bed at intake, which we think zanjero can do as needed. Anaheim, Dec. 20, 1864. Signed: Henry Padderatz-John Hartmann, F. Schneider.

Attorney for Assign Original Judgment Cases 2-16-3t Dr. Wellman Tells Plans for Control (Continued from Page 1) per cent of the total shipments of all sizes and grades. "6. Careful regulation of shipments from week to week and between markets to insure the maintenance of trade confidence and the avoidance of temporary gluts is even more advantageous in years of surplus production than in normal years. "7. If shipments are limited in only those years in which surpluses are actually present and a quantity no larger than the surplus is withheld from the market, it is not likely to cause a decrease in consumer demand or an increase in the acreage planted." Constant questioning on the part of growers showed a keen interest by growers on the industry's major problems. Considerations of costs per acre for irrigating, pruning, fertilizing, picking, and other production problems aroused considerable discussion. L. W. Fluharty, specialist in farm management, conducted the discussion in the Tuesday morning session, while Professor R. W. Hodgson spoke on "Grower and Grave Efficiency," and M. A. Thompson, manager of the Los Angeles branch, regional agricultural credit corporation, talked on "Some Aspects of the Agricultural Credit Situation." Opening the institute Monday morning, W. R. Schoonover outlined prospects for the citrus industry. He declared that growers have fallen into the habit of extravagence, and that this habit must be eliminated if a profit is to be shown. Success, he said, depends upon good trees, good soil, fertility maintenance, proper control of pests and diseases, and an understanding of the heating problem. He also talked on "The Interrelation of Soil Management Practices." Dr. L. B. Batchelor talked on "Keeping the Fertilizer Program in Line with the Present Price Situation." He traced results of experiments in fertilization, stating that there is a point where profits decrease as more costs are added in the form of fertilizer. He advocated use of nitrogen and organic matter and stood against potash and phosphorus as citrus tree foods. Prof. Fluharty declared that cash and labor costs per acre can be reduced to $173.81. This brought many queries from interested growers, who were astounded at the low figure. Fluharty further outlined his studies as follows: Pruning, $5; cultivation, $8.50; fertilization, $30; fumigation, $24; spray, including labor and material, $12; frost protection, $20; wind breaks, 75 cents; pest control not cared for in other items; $5; irrigation, $35; and miscellaneous, $1. Pickling and hauling costs were given at $27.10, and taxes, $30. He said that on the basis of 1932 production, a farmer would need 14 acres of 200 box per acre oranges to keep his family, with a price of $1.75 for a box of oranges delivered at the packing house. If interest and depreciation charges were written off, nine acres would support a family. Growers with less acreage were advised that eventually they would have to increase their holdings or find a secondary source of income.
