Navel Agreement Lacks Signatures Committee of 15 Packinghouse Managers Reviews Elimination Pact Progress At the meeting held last week, in San Bernardino, of the committee of 15 packinghouse managers to consider the elimination agreement affecting navel oranges, it was announced that due to lack of sufficient signers the agreement could not be put into operation. Managers present represented packinghouses affiliated with practically all citrus shipping organizations which handle Navel oranges in California. According to the discussion had at the meeting, the following signatures have been obtained: Mutual Orange Distributors, and all of its packinghouses; Gold Banner, Redlands; Gold Buckle, East Highlands; American Fruit Growers, Los Angeles; Spence Fruit company, Monrovia; Gentile Brothers, Riverside; Fred Krinnard, Riverside; Citrus Packing company, Riverside, and about 80 per cent of the volume of navel oranges under control of packinghouses affiliated with the California Fruit Growers Exchange. The California Fruit Growers Exchange, a member of the California Fruit Growers Exchange, had not signed the agreement. This agreement, if put into effect, would eliminate low grade fruit and control the sale of loose fruit. Under the plan low grade fruit would be eliminated from all channels of trade and diverted to beneficial charitable uses. Place-packed fruit would not be handled and loose fruit would be sold only in California in restricted areas set up by the Control Board. The control board appointed by the committee of 15 and recommended by the marketing groups with which they are affiliated consists of: J. N. Hager, M. O. D., Redlands; C. J.

The control board met but was unable to formulate working plans, due to lack of volume signed up. The agreement requires individual signatures of packing houses which on March 1, 1933, controlled 90 per cent of the Navels still to be distributed. Storage Loss In Eggs Explained Blame Cotton Seed, Cheeseweed and Hollyhock Blamed for "Pink Whites" Cause of "pink whites" in storage eggs, responsible for serious losses sometimes amounting to as much as 10 percent, has been traced to Cheeseweed or mallow, investigations conducted by the poultry husbandry division of the University of California have disclosed. Other plants named by H. J. Almquist, research assistant in poultry husbandry in charge of the investigation, as probable causes of "pink whites" are California windbreak and common hollyhock. Among the characteristics of "pink white" eggs, according to examinations made by Almquist, are: whites are faint pink to reddish in color; yolk color ranges from normal to a salmon of near-red; yolk size is much above the average for storage eggs; yolk membranes are very tough: cooked yolks are rubbery or like gelatine in consistency. "Previous investigations," said Almquist, "have shown similar condition in storage eggs resulting from feeding of cottonseed meal. Loss of quality in storage eggs has appeared to increase with the cottonseed meal content of the ration. Later, cooperatively with Professor W. G. Hendry of the agronomy department, a survey was made of the members of the cotton plant family in the hope of detecting a related plant exchange signs valencia pact Over 96 Per Cent of Shippers In Group Put Agreement In Effect Wednesday The Exchange valencia orange agreement was signed by over 96 per cent of all Sunkist orange shippers and officially placed in operation Wednesday of the board of directors of the California Fruit Growers Exchange, according to announcement of Paul S. Armstrong, general manager. “This agreement gives the central Exchange board full authority to act for its members in prorating and distributing the 1933 valencia crop,” said Mr. Armstrong. “Furthermore it places the Exchange in a position to quickly act as a unit in any plans which may be worked out and agreed upon between the Exchange and other shippers in a joint program to stabilize the Valencia market this season.” Acting on this authority the Exchange board Wednesday approved in principle the valencia stabilization agreement worked out by the joint stabilization committee of the farm bureau. The Exchange is now prepared to enter into the agreement as soon as changes suggested by various marketing organizations have been reconciled by the farm bureau committee and the document is submitted in final form. Production Of Avocado Records Kept by Farm Advisor Haverberg. Summaries of the avocado cost analysis for 1932, the farm advisor's office with 32 commercial avocados will be available about Aing to Farm Advisor Haverberg. This is the third year the cost of producing avocado county. The study taken as a project of growers department of county farm bureau that will continue over a period. The avocado industry this cost analysis as an source of actual cost data the production of the fruity finds the study of pa in its representations to mission, when protection try is sought. The report is also a validation to the individual cording to a statement Marshburn, at the rec Growers Institute in Lansdowne used by many growers measuring the efficiency chard operations and p the average for storage eggs; yolk membranes are very tough: cooked yolks are rubbery or like gelatine in consistency. "Previous investigations," said Almquist, "have shown similar condition in storage eggs resulting from feeding of cottonseed meal. Loss of quality in storage eggs has appeared to increase with the cottonseed meal content of the ration. Later, cooperatively with Professor W. G. Hendry of the agronomy department, a survey was made of the members of the cotton plant family in the hope of detecting a related plant upon which blame for "pink whites" could also be placed. "Fats extracted from the seeds of cheeseweed, California windbreak, and common hollyhock, and fed to poultry, produced the same reaction to tests for 'pink whites' as did cottonseed meal. Eggs produced on cheeseweed rations, after one month of storage, showed all the characteristics of 'pink whites' when candled and when opened. With longer storage periods, and heavier doses of cheeseweed seed, these characteristics became more and more prominent. To guard against storing of potential 'pink white' eggs, advises Almquist, cottonseed meal or crude cottonseed oil should not be a constituent of the laying ration, and should not be fed for a period of at least two weeks before the eggs to be stored are laid. Similarly, old and young cheeseweed plants, and old or young cheeseweed seed should not be available to the hens during the storage season, and for a similar advance period, Almquist said." New Snow Hits Norden Summit The last storm in the Sierra Nevada deposited 32 inches of new snow at Norden Summit. This snowfall makes chains necessary on all cars traversing this route, as parts are quite icy and slippery. This last fall brought the total depth to 78 inches of snow at the Summit, which promises adequate water supply during the coming season. Start Work Soon On Huge Tunnel $7,339,100 Contract for San Jacinto Project Signed Last Saturday Work on the 13-mile San Jacinto tunnel, contract for which was let Saturday, for the Metropolitan Water District is expected to begin this week, according to Emil Henoch of the firm of Wenzel and Henock, successful bidders. Chief Engineer F. E. Weymouth of the water district signed the contract, calling for $7,339,100 for the tunnel job. First construction will consist of road-building and camp erection. Approximately 600 men will be employed in the tunnel section of the aqueduct, which will require about six years. Execution of the contract was hailed as highly important to the aqueduct project because of the length of time involved in the San Jacinto unit, six years also being estimated as the construction period of the entire water line. The immensity of the San Jacinto bore is indicated by the quantity estimates released by district engineers. Appximately 750,000 cubic yards of earth and rock will be excavated in the course of driving the tunnel. For lining, 195,000 cubic yards of concrete will be used. A contract for the San Jacinto job was originally awarded by the water district board to the Metropolitan Engineering Corporation, whose $7,333,315 bid on the job was low. When, after many weeks of unsuccessful negotiations, this firm was unable to make bond, a tentative award was made to the second low bidder, Wenzel and Henoch, whose bid was only about $6000 higher than the low bid. Although the Wenzel and Henoch bond was soon over-subscribed by its actual execution was delayed until this week, as a result of the bank holiday. San Jacinto tunnel, located in Riverside county, southwest of Banning, will pierce a flank of San Jacinto peak. The Root Cutting to Be Demonstrated Show Method of Halting Windbreak Roots From Competing With Orchards A field demonstration will be held Friday morning at 10 a.m., at the San Joaquin Fruit company’s properties three miles East of Tustin to show effect of control of windbreak roots by means of a deep subsolver. The demonstration has been arranged by Farm Advisor Harold E. Wahlberg through the courtesy of J. H. Bray. The outfit consists of a giant, heavy-duty root cutter of the subsolar type, drawn by a big tractor. The cutter penetrates the soil to a depth of 52 inches. The windbreaks on the San Joaquin Fruit company subdivision constitute one of the finest systems of wind protection in California. The breaks have been planted at regular intervals and are maintained under ideal management. The roots are cut regularly so as to reduce the competition in the orchard to the minimum. Holmes Bishop, chairman of the farm bureau, has asked the production committee of his department, headed by Harold Brewer of Villa Park, to witness the demonstration. With the many miles of windbreaks maturing in Orange county there will be need for more outfits of this kind, says Mr. Bishop. All growers interested in the proper management of windbreaks are invited to attend the demonstration. The growers will assemble at the ranch office of the San Joaquin Fruit company, located about three miles East of Tustin on Irvine boulevard, at 10:00 o'clock Friday morning, March 24.

Production Cost Of Avocado Told Records Kept by Farm Advisor List Average Expenses In Commercial Groves Summaries of the avocado production cost analysis for 1932, carried on by the farm advisor's office in cooperation with 32 commercial avocado growers, will be available about April 1, according to Farm Advisor Harold E. Wahlberg. This is the third year's analysis on the cost of producing avocados in Orange county. The study was undertaken as a project of the avocado growers department of the Orange county farm bureau three years ago and will continue over a five year period. The avocado industry is using this cost analysis as an authoritative source of actual cost data involved in the production of the fruit. The industry finds the study of particular value in its representations to the tariff commission, when protection to the industry is sought. The report is also a valuable contribution to the individual grower, according to a statement of Austin Marshburn, at the recent Avocado Growers Institute in La Habra. It is used by many growers as a means of measuring the efficiency of their orchard operations and production with engineering Corporation, whose $7,333,315 bid on the job was low. When, after many weeks of unsuccessful negotiations, this firm was unable to make bond, a tentative award was made to the second low bidder, Wenzel and Henoch, whose bid was only about $6000 higher than the low bid. Although the Wenzel and Henoch bond was soon over-subscribed by its actual execution was delayed until this week, as a result of the bank holiday. San Jacinto tunnel, located in River-side county, southwest of Banning, will pierce a flank of San Jacinto peak. The tunnel's diameter will be sixteen feet, and its length is second only, as far as the aqueduct project is concerned, to the 18 mile East Coachella bore. Blackburn Plans Before Roosevelt R. W. Blackburn, president of the California farm bureau federation, who has gone back to Washington to take part in a series of important agricultural conferences with the new administration, has presented five recommendations on behalf of the farmers of this state. These are as follows: (1) Price of farm products to be immediately restored. (2) Surplus products to be handled in an intelligent and economical way. (3) Relief from wholesale foreclosures. (4) Drastic reduction in the cost of government. (5) Reduction in common property taxes. OX THEATRE GENERAL ADMISSION 25c Fri., Sat.
