Valencia Growers Win Praise For Their Stabilization Efforts; Oranges Bringing Uniform Returns Despite Heavy Shipping Trade and Exchange Salesmen Declare California Oranges and Lemons In Better Position Than Crops Where Government Has Lent Helping Hand; September Shipping Set Record The trade and Exchange salesmen all over the United States and Canada praise the stabilization efforts of California valencia orange growers, according to T. H. Powell, general sales manager, California Fruit Growers Exchange, who has just returned from the annual divisional meetings of the Exchange sales forces, held in San Francisco, Chicago and Boston. "California oranges and lemons are in better position than most any other staple product, even including those agricultural products that have already had the benefit of governmental help," said Mr. Powell. "California valencia shipments in August were greater than any previous year except one, and September shipments of over 5,000 cars constituted an all-time record for that month. We have had a remarkably uniform market, devoid of disturbing fluctuations and steadily improving throughout the season, even though prices have not been all that growers would like to see them." Mr. Powell feels strongly that the remainder of the valencia deal this season would be a lot better if packers had kept a greater percentage of their smaller sizes and poorer grades at home. "We must recognize that we have surplus conditions and that good business demands that we ship our best fruit, which will give the consumer what he wants and will show the best return per acre to the grower. The same thing is true of lemons," said Mr. Powell. Even after the heavy damage reported to their crops, early shipments of Florida and Texas grapefruit are bringing poor results, according to the Exchange sales manager. Delivered carload prices are running below $2.50, which leaves no profit for Florida or Texas growers and means most difficult competition for fall and winter grapefruit. Lettuce Grower Must Cull More Bureau Chief of State Says Future of $15,000,000 Industry Depends On Right Program Depression may come, and depressions may go, but California's giant lettuce industry seems sure to go on forever, each year bigger and better and more popular, provided— "That the lettuce producer "knows his lettuce" and only sells a high quality product in conformity with the well defined standardization requirements of the state department of agriculture. That is the opinion of Stanley Rogers, chief of the bureau of fruit and vegetable standardization of the state department. Rogers, enthusiastic about lettuce, said that California's lettuce crop last year was valued at $15,000,000 and that the Golden State in 1932 produced two thirds of all the lettuce grown in America. The lettuce production in the United States has increased 900 percent in the last 15 years and California lettuce industry has expanded even at a higher rate. Rogers declared. It would pay the grower well to leave Even after the heavy damage reported to their crops, early shipments of Florida and Texas grapefruit are bringing poor results, according to the Exchange sales manager. Delivered carload prices are running below $2.50, which leaves no profit for Florida or Texas growers and means most difficult competition for fall and winter grapefruit from California and Arizona. With lots of medium and small sizes and the anxiety of retailers to do business, retail prices on oranges are very low and the trade are working on low margins, according to Mr. Powell. He checked prices in big cities and in small towns and found uniformly that retailers doing any volume of business were the ones that featured fruit and kept their prices in line. It was necessary for Paul S. Armstrong, general manager of the Exchange, to return to Washington at the conclusion of the Exchange meetings, in the interest of the stabilization agreements now before the agricultural adjustment administration. He will be back in Los Angeles by October 25. Honey Industry Gaining Slowly State Entemologist Regards Bee Keeping As Profitable Business California’s $2,000,000 honey industry is another big business showing distinct signs of improvement because of organization work. H. M. Krebs, state entomologist in charge of apiary inspection service, in making his third quarterly report this year on California’s 14,000 apiaries made several encouraging points. Foulbrood and other disease have been reduced in the last six years from about 14 per cent to 1.38 per cent of the 127,649 colonies. In Orange county the percentage of infected colonies is 2.7 Krebs reported following the inspection of 17,299 colonies in the county. Despite setbacks this year due to dry, hot summer months following a short rainy season for most sections of the state, Krebs is hopeful for a better turn next year. “I am pleased with the progress made by inspection work in the reduction of foulbrood. Where an average of 25 per cent of the apiaries and about 14 per cent of the colonies were infected when the service started in 1927, there now are only about 13.9 per cent of the apiaries infected, and the number continues to diminish,” Krebs said. He cited a recent supreme court that is the opinion of Stanley Rogers chief of the bureau of fruit and vegetable standardization of the state department. Rogers, enthusiastic about lettuce, said that California’s lettuce crop last year was valued at $15,000,000 and that the Golden State in 1932 produced two thirds of all the lettuce grown in America. The lettuce production in the United States has increased 900 per cent in the last 15 years and California lettuce industry has expanded even at a higher rate. Rogers declared. It would pay the grower well to leave the low quality lettuce in the field, especially in the face of a weak market when average quality brings a delivered price of less than $2.50 per crate. Rogers suggested. “But here is what happens.” Rogers added. “The average grower endeavors to ship as near his entire crop as possible, irrespective of the market, unless it is of such poor quality that the shipper will refuse to handle it. It would be much better business to call closely in order that the market value may be obtained at a price that will compensate the growing and shipping of this increasingly popular vegetable. “The California industry long has realized the value and necessity of curtailing the movement of lettuce of undesirable quality and for a number of years has established minimum standards, both in quality and pack, below which it becomes illegal to sell, ship or offer to sell. These standards are set forth in the agricultural code of California, and are enforced by the county agricultural commissioners in cooperation with the bureau of fruit and vegetable standardization. state department of agriculture.” SUCCESS WITH POULTRY BY FULLER D. BAIRD Turn on the Lights The price of eggs is highest during the autumn and winter and for this reason the poultry keeper should endeavor to get the maximum egg production during this period. Observations have been made that show that the food consumption during the early winter months is not as high as during the months when the hours of daylight are longer. It has been definitely shown that artificial illumination can be used to lengthen the days that are abnormally short and that greater profits almost invariably result when lights are used during that period of the year when the hours of daylight each day are less Despite setbacks this year due to dry, hot summer months following a short rainy season for most sections of the state, Krebs is hopeful for a better turn next year. "I am pleased with the progress made by inspection work in the reduction of foulbrood. Where an average of 25 per cent of the apiaries and about 14 per cent of the colonies were infected when the service started in 1927, there now are only about 13.9 per cent of the apiaries infected, and the number continues to diminish," Krebs said. He cited a recent supreme court judgment upholding the state's right to inspect apiaries and enforce laws prohibiting importation of infected colonies and moving of infected colonies as one of the great aids in his work. Krebs, by the way, regards bee-keeping as one of the most remunerative of agricultural activities—if the bee-keeper knows his bees. He said the difference between efficient and inefficient bee-keeping could be told with two sets of figures then on his desk. State reports of bee production show colonies producing as little as 20 pounds of honey per season and other producing as little as 20 pounds of honey per hour per season and other colonies producing as much as 270 pounds. "I've never seen a millionaire bee keeper—at least none who made his million keeping bees," he said, "but in normal times I believe keeping bees will compare with the most remunerative of agricultural occupations." Livestock Carriers Must Care for Cargo Motor carriers of livestock must see that the animals are fed, watered and rested periodically, the motor vehicle department warns. A new law passed by the last legislature, the department pointed out, requires stock carriers to stop after not more than 28 hours and attend the animals, giving them at least five hours rest. Another section of the law empowers the department of public works to build livestock trails parallel to state highways and post signs leading to them. The "evening lunch" of an hour at night is economical in the use of light and is advocated where there is a scarcity of electricity. It tends to break the time between the evening and morning feeds. It has the disadvantage of being less convenient and less effective than the morning and evening lights combined, and requires more expensive equipment. The lighting of the layers in the morning has been one of the most popular methods. It is effective in promoting activity and increasing egg production because the birds are hungry at that time. It has the advantage that an alarm clock and a very inexpensive tumbler switch are all that are needed to light up. The best results from the use of lights may be expected if the fowls are reasoned the poultry keeper should endeavor to get the maximum egg production during this period. Observations have been made that show that the food consumption during the early winter months is not as high as during the months when the hours of daylight are longer. It has been definitely shown that artificial illumination can be used to lengthen the days that are abnormally short and that greater profits almost invariably result when lights are used during that period of the year when the hours of daylight each day are less than twelve hours. The additional food consumption that can be obtained by this management enables the fowls to keep in better physical condition and body weight and therefore can lay more eggs during the winter months. By changing the seasonal production of the fowls to get this greater egg production of the year results; in fact, it usually is increased at least five percent. It has been usual to say that it did not make any special difference when the light was given; morning, twilight or night; provided the day was lengthened and the lights arranged properly. Recent experimental work however, has shown that lighting at both ends of the day to give a twelve to fourteen hour day gives better results for pullets than the other methods commonly used. In addition to the increased production, the morning and evening system has an advantage of owner convenience.

ANAHEIM GAZETTE The FARMERS CORNER by RALPH H. TAYLOR Executive Secretary Agricultural Council of California A campaign of intimidation, finally culminating in bloodshed and rioting, has paralyzed California agriculture, at the height of the harvesting season, for weeks past, due to the activities of radicals and agitators in inciting farm laborers. Heavy damage already has resulted and millions of dollars in crop losses are inevitable if this condition is permitted to continue. It is unthinkable that the level-headed and more intelligent leaders of organized labor in California wish it to continue. California farmers expect the conservative, thoughtful heads of the labor movement to put down the "left wing" of the labor movement which has been responsible for this campaign of lawlessness and destruction. They have a right to expect that the law abiding element of labor will purge labor house of the communists and radicals who have brought discredit upon them by this attempted reign of terror. And they also have a right to expect that the state labor commissioner, together with other public officials who are charged with official responsibility in labor disputes, will act firmly and intelligently to end the strikers' war and permit the orderly harvesting of California crops. California farmers, at the same time, must do their utmost to avoid clashes with the strikers, regardless of the provocation: That farmers in some sections have struck back is not a reflection on the farmers, so much as it is a reflection on the labor leaders and public officials whose inability or un- Plant Patent Law Opens New Wealth To Agriculturists "Invention" in Agriculture Just as Successful as in Industry; May Change Diet Soon Possibility that the new federal plant patent law may be extended to include cover crops reproduced by seed, and that such extension has been advocated and could be administered, as contained in a newspaper article originating in Washington, D. C., and quoting Dr. William A. Taylor, chief of the United States bureau of plant industry, is particularly interesting in California, according to D. G. Milbrath, plant pathologist of the state department of agriculture in Sacramento. Calling the attention of California plant experimenters, seed growers and marketers to the discussion by Dr. Taylor, the head of the plant pathology bureau in the state department of agriculture, pointed out that, at present, the federal patent law covers only plants asexually propagated, that is through roots, bulbs, cuttings and buds. No provision has been made in the law for plants propagated through seed. Commenting upon the views of Dr. Taylor, as continued in the publication Dr. Milbrath said: "California produces annually large quantities of vegetable and flower seeds. In fact, this state is one of the largest seed producing areas in the world. Such seed is being improved constantly through selection and cross-breeding. It would seem just and fair to grow of new and imported varieties of vegetable and flower seed to receive same protection accorded those we plants propagated otherwise through seed." "Invention" in agriculture has been just as successful as it has been in industry, and during the next 25 years it is probable that many radio changes will be made in the American diet because of the development of new varieties of plants, in the opinion Dr. Taylor, and shared by Dr. Milbrath.

It is poor management to give the same length of day and the same mash mixture to immature pullets or those low in body weight as to early pullets in good body weight. The late-hatched pullets need starchy foods to increase their weight and the heavier pullets should be given more protein. It may not be advisable to put the immature pullets under light as soon as the early matured birds.' The latter can often be prevented from going into the "pullet" or "autumn" moult if their feeding time is lengthened and their body weight maintained. The first of October is early enough to bring pullets on to lights.
