Choose Successor To A. S. Bradford Vacancy Caused by Death of Noted Orange County Man Filled by C. S. Henderson The election of Charles S. Henderson, former City Manager of Long Beach to the board of directors of Southern Counties Gas company this week is announced in dispatches from the general offices of the company, in Los Angeles to District Manager Fred G. Merker. Henderson is well known throughout Southern California. He has served as president of the Long Beach chamber of commerce, as president of the Long Beach Rotary club and was the unanimous choice of all groups as the director-general for the territory which was hardest hit by the recent earthquake. With practically unlimited power, Henderson took charge of the situation and in record breaking time brought order out of confusion and within eleven days was in position to turn control back to the regularly constituted authorities who had asked him to serve the community in the temporary capacity which he filled so well. He is now president of the Unified Rehabilitation corporation, formed for the purpose of administering the $5,000,000 earthquake rehabilitation fund voted to Southern California by congress and the Reconstruction Finance Corporation. "We are glad to welcome a man with such a splendid record of public service into the directorate of Southern Counties Gas company," said President F. S. Wade, in announcing Henderson's election. Shortly after being informed of his election to the post on the gas company board, Mr. Henderson said: "I consider Valencia Growers In Spain Of Stabilization and Shippers in Murcia Hit by Drop in World Problems that we are endeavoring to meet and mote." Here is a story just received by Farm Advisor correspondent in Spain where the farm advisor specializes in the valencia industry. The correspondent says "information has been received from Madrid that orange shippers in the province of Murcia have been severely hit by the drop in world market prices, particularly in Germany. An urgent meeting was called by shippers to discuss restrictions in regard to shipments to the German markets as a result of news received from Hamburg." The 'Mercantil Valenciano,' one of the leading papers, carries a series of articles entitled "El Desastre Naranjero" which attempts to deal with the reasons for the disastrous dumping which is taking place in the orange trade and the extraordinary drop in the auction prices which have appeared to an ever increasing extent in recent years. The causes are stated as being inadequate protection of agricultural produce on the part of the local government, inefficient organization among the Spanish orange shippers and the inordinately strong influence which shipping lines and box shook agents are exerting on the trade. In this connection the "Mercantile Valenciano" states the following: "The main factor is really the control of fruit shipments and the breakdown of the monopoly which the shipping companies have hitherto enjoyed. What is required is the constitution of an expert body to look into the whole question of agriculture in the Levant, and the raising of the quality of exportable produce. A closer and more detailed survey of the export markets and the possibilities of advertising campaigns should be undertaken. Although the inhabitants of valencia are not particularly inclined towards organization and cooperative activity, it is "We are glad to welcome a man with such a splendid record of public service into the directorate of Southern Counties Gas company," said President F. S. Wade, in announcing Henderson's election. Shortly after being informed of his election to the post on the gas company board, Mr. Henderson said, "I consider it an honor to become affiliated with a corporation which has earned such a record of fair play to its consumers and the communities which it serves. I have watched the progress of this company for many years. I have observed its attitude toward its customers and have always found that attitude fair and square. I know that it is the policy of the company to provide the utmost in service at a cost as low as possible consistent with good business. It gives active and whole-hearted assistance to any project which will help Southern California to grow and prosper. And I consider it a privilege to become affiliated with such an institution as a member of its board of directors." Mr. Henderson's election fills the vacancy caused by the death of A. S. Bradford who had held the position for more than 20 years. $400,000 Refund From Box Shook 210 Associations Receive Checks Representing Difference In Cost and Retain The two hundred and ten local associations that are members of the California Fruit Growers Exchange have received over $400,000 in refunds on box shook and other supplies since the first of the year, according to A. E. Barnes, manager of the Fruit Growers Supply company, which is the cooperative supply department of the Exchange. The refunds were completed during the past week, although they were not due until June 1. A special effort was made to get them out in time to permit associations and growers to use the money for taxes and other current bills. The major portion of these refunds represented the difference between the retain and the actual cost of shook throughout the past year, according to Mr. Barnes. The Fruit Growers Supply company did a business during 1932 of approximately $½ million dollars in sales of box shook and packing house and orchard supplies to its members.

Farm Advisor Harold Wahlberg That Orange Hit by Drop in World Prices; Quotations on Leading Paper Show Problems Faced McFadden Heads County Lawyers Anaheim's Thomas L. McFadden, well known barrister, this week stands elected as president of the Orange County Bar association as a result of the meeting held in Fullerton late last week. Other officers elected were: Orange's City Attorney Harry L. Dearing, first vice-president; Santa Ana's Charles D. Swarner, second vice-president; Santa Ana's M. B. Wellington, third vice-president; Santa Ana's George Parker, re-elected secretary-treasurer. Judge James L. Allen of Santa Ana, and Fullerton's Raymond Thompson were named on the executive committee. Members voted to reduce the scale of minimum charges for legal services, covering nearly all forms of legal work. These reductions vary from small amounts to as high as 50 per cent on certain types. Water Spots On Oranges Fewer Experts Make Survey of Foothill Regions to Determine Extent of Prevalency Farm Relief Is Composite Plan (Continued from page 1) graph two, section eight, a provision allowing the secretary of agriculture to cooperate with producers and cooperatives in a plan to loan money at three per cent interest. This provision, if taken advantage of by Secretary Wallace, will aid California's varied specialty crops. It will work in with the rural credit relief. With this must be considered the emergency farm mortgage act which the house passed and which now is before the senate. It would provide two billions of credit for bonds to be sold with government guarantee of interest of four per cent, to be loaned to farmers at not more than four and one-half per cent interest. There is a provision that loans cannot be made to more than 50 per cent of the normal value of land, plus 20 per cent of the insured value of improvements. This provision to determine the normal value of land is the sticker. "The bankruptcy act which now is a law permits any 15 borrowers in any county to request the intervention of a conciliator between the debtor and creditor in foreclosure proceedings. So far, this act has not been used extensively, although it was brought out in response to the spectacular debtors' actions in the Mid West last summer and fall. Before the state legislature now is a plan asking for a two-year moritorium on loans. We feel that this should be modified in order that foreclosures must have the consent of the court to prevent lenders taking advantage of borrowers. Here too, we are seeking to correct the faults of deficiency judgments, asking that the court fix the value of property, which would be used as a purchase price. This would prevent selling property at a tremendous sacrifice, and than taking deficiency judgment. We believe that costs incidental to loans often are all out of proportion to the amount of the loans. In this regard we are studying plans to amend the recording law, allowing filings in Spain Face Problems Organization and Shipping Control The former Betty Compton, (above) and James J.

It is stated by Dr. L. D. Batchelor. Investigations conducted by plant pathologists and plant physiologists have determined that "the trouble, first noticed in southern California in the spring of 1927 with recurrences during the same period of 1929, 1930 and 1932, has been invariably coincident with protracted periods of wet weather." Investigators have also noted a greater incidence of the trouble in oil-sprayed than in fumigated and untreated groves. Symptoms of Malady First noticeable symptoms, according to Dr. Batchelor, are minute rifts and cracks in the waxy, inclastic cuticle due probably to previous swelling of the underlying rind tissue when it imbibes water. Hot weather continuing says Director Batchelor, affected parts take on a water-soaked, turgid appearance, and later become covered with dark-green to black saprophytic fungi. If drying conditions follow early stages of the injury, adds Dr. Batchelor no soft decay results, but the tissues collapse and dry, making depressed, hardened areas which darken in color through various shades of brown. How Some Loss May Be Avoided "While many conditions contributing to the severity of the malady, such as long periods of rain, are beyond the control of growers," he says. "Some loss may be avoided by shaking off snow if it collects on fruit, and by any orchard practices that lessen mechanical or other injury." The investigation was conducted by Dr. H. Fawcett, professor of plant pathology; Dr. L. J. Klotz, associate plant pathologist; and Dr. A. R. C. Haas, associate plant physiologist, all members of the staff of the Riverside citrus experiment station. 3 State Picnics to Be Held on May 6 Three state picnics Kentucky, Tennessee, and Arkansas will be held on May 6.

Under terms of a bill passed by both houses and signed by the governor, districts which are 20 per cent delinquent, may appeal to the California district securities commission and meet their obligations on a basis of "ability to pay."
