"Cutthroat Competition Costs Growers of California Oranges Many Millions Every Year," Field Says at Institute Grower Service Department Chief Claims Quality Fruit, Advertising, Co-Operation In Distribution and Handling of Surplus or Loose Fruit, and Watching of Costs "Produce quality fruit, advertise to increase demand, cooperate in distribution of your fruit as to quality, quantity, time and place, which includes handling the surplus or loose fruit problems, and watch your costs in orchards, packing houses and marketing organizations." were the suggestions given citrus growers at the California Citrus Institute at San Bernardino, Tuesday by Dalton A. Field, manager of the grower service department, California Fruit Growers Exchange. Field was assigned the subject. "What citrus producers are doing to meet today's economic conditions," and he stated that the Exchange growers were trying to meet conditions by doing the things outlined above. "We are interested in costs of everything connected with our business these days," said Field. "While most of the cultural, packing and marketing costs that are under the growers' own control have been reduced, we are still paying high fixed charges, notably freight, which must be reduced." Field said that lower freight rates were receiving active attention and recited the possibilities and the rapid development of water transportation of California citrus fruits to Atlantic seaboard markets. The Exchange saved $185,000 on water shipments to New York as compared to rail freight last year, he said. The institute was told that per capita consumption of oranges in the United States had increased from 2½ dozen when Sunkist advertising began in 1907, to 6½ dozen in 1931, and lemon consumption from a dozen to 1½ dozen. "The minute a grower joins a Sunkist association, his fruit has the tremendous advantage of Sunkist advertising conditions is next in order in any program of orderly marketing, according to Field, who stated that. "Cutthroat competition is costing orange growers of this state millions every year, while the lemon grower has demonstrated the way to better stabilize his crops and property values. "The Exchange now operates 54 salaried sales offices in the United States and Canada, selling to almost 4,000 jobbers in 700 markets," stated Field. "Forty-three district offices sell in car lots to the trade and the remaining eleven districts in the largest metropolitan centers sell citrus fruits at auction. "Many growers do not understand the auction system of selling now employed in the larger markets by practically all organized perishable fruit and vegetable industries," said he. "These are not second-hand furniture auctions, but are operated like boards of trade or stock exchanges as the most efficient and most economical means of concentrating the buying power at the point of supply in large centers of population. They bring all the buyers together in one place and stimulate the maximum amount of competition among buyers for the fruit we want to sell them." The institute was told that per capita consumption of oranges in the United States had increased from 2½ dozen when Sunkist advertising began in 1907, to 6½ dozen in 1931, and lemon consumption from a dozen to 1½ dozen. "The minute a grower joins a Sunkist association, his fruit has the tremendous advantage of Sunkist advertising behind it, for which he pays nothing more than the few cents per box that all Sunkist growers contribute as their fruit is marketed." said Field. Next to increasing demand, intelligent distribution of supply to meet today's technically all organized perishable fruit and vegetable industries," said he. "These are not second-hand furniture auctions, but are operated like boards of trade or stock exchanges as the most efficient and most economical means of concentrating the buying power at the point of supply in large centers of population. They bring all the buyers together in one place and stimulate the maximum amount of competition among buyers for the fruit we want to sell them."

There is every indication, furthermore, that California legislators, with few exceptions, will approach the problem sympathetically, anxious to give both the city and rural owner of real estate a fighting chance to hold his property and continue in business. Indicative of this attitude and emphasizing also, the pressing nature of the whole tax problem, more than fifty bills were introduced during the forepart of the legislative session, designed to liberalize and modify present laws covering tax collection, interest, delinquent penalties and redemption penalties. Small home owners and the holders of general real estate, as well as farmers, would be affected by most of the bills, which run from measures cutting interest charges and penalties to several extreme measures declaring a tax and debt moratorium. Redemption penalties, under existing laws, require that the delinquent taxpayer, to recover his property during the first year after sale to the state, pay his back taxes and delinquency penalties, plus an additional redemption penalty of ten per cent of his taxes and all previously unpaid penalties. During the second year, the redemption penalty amounts to twenty per cent; for the third year, it is thirty per cent; for the fourth year forty per cent and for the fifth year fifty per cent. The bills awaiting legislative consideration, while varying as to rates and degrees of liberalizing the present statutes, would, in general, abolish the system of penalties and substitute a Reputy auditor (E.

Fullerton Finds Spurious Coins Counterfeit twenty-five cent coins found in Fullerton Tuesday evidently didn't "percolate" into Anaheim, police stated as they had not received any reports of spurious money here in recent days. The police, however, were on the look-out in the shops in the hopes of catching the "placers" should they come to this city. Booster Group Will Study Water, Taxes All members of the Associated Chambers this week were urged by Secretary H. M. May of Fullerton to attend the regular session to be held Tuesday evening at the Westminster church. Dinner will be served at 6:30 o'clock Subjects for discussion will be taxes and water. the first year after sale to the state, pay his back taxes and delinquency penalties, plus an additional redemption penalty of ten per cent of his taxes and all previously unpaid penalties During the second year, the redemption penalty amounts to 20 per cent; for the third year, it is 30 per cent; for the fourth year 40 per cent and for the fifth year 50 per cent. The bills awaiting legislative consideration, while varying as to rates and degrees of liberalizing the present statutes, would in general, abolish the system of penalties and substitute a comparatively moderate interest charge of from 6 to 12 per cent per year on unpaid taxes. Back of most of the bills is evidenced a new spirit of "Live and let live," designed to help farmers, home owners and realty owners generally through the exigencies of depression In many instances, also, they constitute a recognition by the authors of the bills that farm and general real estate has been excessively taxed and is entitled to relief. Focusing attention on the seriousness of the farm tax problem, together with the twin problem of farm financing, the United States bureau of agricultural economics has just made public a report showing that during the five-year period ending with 1932 nearly 10 per cent of all farms in the United States changed hands through foreclosures or mortgages, bankruptcy, default of contract, sales to avoid foreclosure, surrender of title or other transfers to avoid foreclosure. Sales on account of tax delinquency affected $3½ per cent of farms, according to the federal bureau, and there was a turnover of an additional 11 per cent through voluntary sales and trades. California legislators, when they face the facts, must come to the realization that, no matter how bad the condition of the state treasury, California farmers cannot pay additional taxes Additional taxes will mean inevitably, additional tax delinquencies, additional foreclosures and complete prostration of the industry which produces the state's basic wealth. The need is for drastic economy in all governmental activities And beyond that there is a need for equalizing taxes to catch the under-taxed and relieve the over-taxed.

Any little soreness in the throat grows rapidly worse if neglected. Crush some tablets of genuine Bayer Aspirin in some water, and gargle at once. This gives you instant relief, and reduces danger from infection. One good gargle and you can feel safe. If all soreness is not gone promptly, repeat. There’s usually a cold with the sore throat, so before gargling take two tablets to throw off your cold, headache, stiffness or other cold symptoms. Bayer Aspirin relieves neuralgia, neuritis, too.

Eight Violations of Motor Law Common There are eight common violations of the motor vehicle law, state officers claim. Briefly stated, they are: 1. Speeding too fast for existing conditions. 2. Passing another vehicle going in same direction when view ahead is obstructed. 3. Failure to keep to the right of the road. 4. Not slowing down at intersections. 5. Not slowing down when approaching pedestrians. 6. Failure to observe the eight-foot law with respect to standing street cars. 7. Disregard of traffic control devices, signs, signals and stop lights. 8. Dangerous and improper parking, as on curves and corners or in the wrong side of the road. "The Family Doctor by John Joseph Gaines, M.D." "HEART DISEASE" A man who belonged to his country has passed—Calvin Coolidge. Former Presidents always belong to America in common. Politics does not alter ownership. Mr. Coolidge was ours. Scientific physicians may well ponder on death that comes before it ought to be due; Mr. Coolidge was too young to have died. But, there was a mighty insistent CAUSE, which physicians should be alert to discover. I cannot believe that the distinguished patient was not warned in plenty of time to have averted the tragedy. Was it tobacco? My own experience contradicts that verdict. I am seventy-one and I have smoked excessively, I feel sure, but not with any menacing symptoms. Was it indolent habits and over-eating? Some says it was "acute indigestion." I don't believe acute indigestion alone over killed anybody. Thousands—millions of children have it—relieved by simply evacuating the diarrhea. If Mr. Coolidge died of genuine heart disease, it must have been a blocking of the coronary arteries—due for the most part to influenza—maybe an attack of mild severity, years ago. Such a thing could be,—I admit. But, the patient would have been warned in plenty of time by insidious, creeping attacks of SHORT BREATH ON EXERTION. I have never contacted a case that was not—and I have seen many. I lost two aged people with acute influenza last week. One past 80, the other 70. It is one of the most virile poisons known—and not well-known at that. It was more likely a case of over-indulgence in highly-seasoned food that disrupted an artery of the brain, that took Mr. Coolidge; one does not have to be a glutton to die of such a condition. He was temperate. I wonder if he ate his chief meal at six o'clock? Orange County Is Third In Nation "Place in Sun" Assured As This Commonwealth Among First in U.S. Orange county's "place in the sun" remains secure. Reports from the census bureau this week showed that Orange county ranks third in the United States in amount of production of farm crops and livestock products for the year 1929. California is honored with 17 of the 50 night at the county-wide Americanism meeting held at Newport Harbor high school at Costa Mesa. Anaheim's drum and bugle corps furnished music and headed a short parade from Costa Mesa to the school, while Scoutmaster Earl Fulfer's Boy Scout troop, sponsored by the local legion, demonstrated Scout law in a series of drills. Glendale's Homer Challaux, chairman of the California department's Americanism committee, lauded the California department's Americanism committee, lauded the Scout sponsorship, declared against any reduction of financial support to schools, and urged unemployed youths to enlist in the citizens military training units. "Place in Sun" Assured As This Commonwealth Among First in U. S. Orange county's "place in the sun" remains secure. Reports from the census bureau this week showed that Orange county ranks third in the United States in amount of production of farm crops and livestock products for the year 1929. California is honored with 17 of the 50 counties in the nation producing the most farm crops and livestock products for that period. Los Angeles county led the counties of the nation with a combined value of crops and livestock amounting to $90,-706,077, due to its production of oranges, chickens and eggs, dairy products and lemons. Aroostook county Maine, was second with $54,350,723 due to production of potatoes, oats, hay and dairy products. The next four counties were in California. Orange county produced $52,-175,745; Tulare county, $50,951,812; San Bernardino county, $42,964,771 and Fresno county, $38,166,975. Anaheim's Legion Post Is Praised Anaheim's post, American Legion, received considerable praise Friday You Can Afford To Use More Lamps From Now On You Can Afford To Use More Lamps From Now On You'll use 16% less light in February than you did in January. Not so much because February is a shorter month but because the sun rises earlier and sets later. Where your lighting time averaged 6.53 hours per day in January, it will run only 5.83 hours in February. So you can afford to use more light from now on. Anything that improves illumination in your home is worth while. You can have better illumination now and still keep lighting the lowest item in the family budget. Why not consult one of our lighting engineers?
