50 Years Ago October 4, 1887 We wish again to refer to the beautiful grove of gum trees on the forty acre tract of land east of town known as the "Curtis" grove. It is owned by R. D. Curtis and J. W. Rooch. The trees are growing well although many have to be replanted each year owing to the ravages of Jack rabbits and sheep. The trees are irrigated but once each year, in the winter when there is an abundance of waste water in the river only a few miles east. Many thousands of acres of comparatively worthless land now covered with cactus could be planted to Eucalyptus trees as water can be had in the winter when it is running to waste in the river. We are indebted to Mr. Robert Parker for some wonderfully large and fine quinces grown on his place in North Anaheim. Mr. Theo Hartung has shipped one hundred and seventy tons of Black Malvoisie grapes to Los Angeles to date. He will resume shipping on Monday.

Gibbs Valencia Market Strong in August Exceptionally Good Returns Reported by California Fruit Growers Valencias sold in August through the California Fruit Growers exchange brought exceptionally good returns. Demand held up so well that sales for the month were within a few cars of the July figure, instead of showing the seasonal reduction usually caused by the great influx of all kinds of competitive fruits and vegetables, which this year came in a veritable deluge. Prices had climbed rather rapidly in July and had reached a peak at the end of that month. Effects of increased competition from seasonal fruits were felt to a much greater degree by the lower grades of oranges than by the first class packs. In fact, values on Sankist grades were unchanged on certain sizes—a little higher on some, and a little lower on others. The average price on all oranges sold declined until the low point for the month was reached, Aug. 18, which, however, was still a satisfactory figure. Values then firmed and gradually advanced, so that by the end of the month the market was in fine condition. The month's average was some 5¢ per box ahead of the July average; and as the volume of fruit sold was practically equal to that of July, preliminary figures indicate that the total f.o.b. return on Exchange valencias was greater than in July. Compared with other recent seasons, August sales were necessarily low in point of volume on Tourists From All Sections of World Pay Visit to Lo Anheim From far-off Terhan in Persia. From Capetown in South Africa. From Port Moresby on the island of Papua. And from dozens of other far-off cities, with storied background and romantic names, tourists are now coming to Los Angeles to make it one of the world's most cosmopolitan of cities. The extent to which southern California has become a mecca for not only the United States but for residents in the rest of the world wealthy enough to travel is shown in names signed to the guest register in the All-Year club's new tourist information bureau at 505 W. Sixth street. During the past two months guests of California have registered there from 47 foreign cities and 28 foreign countries and Canadian provinces. Papua, Persia and Capetown are not the only out-of-the-way nooks of the earth written on the register. Others include Kettering and Romford, England; Altona, Germany; Aarau, Switzerland; Nelson in British Columbia's backwoods; Tomaru in New Zealand; Tossa de Mar in Spain; and Perth in Australia. The cosmopolitan scope of Los Angeles' tourist traffic is enhanced, in addition, by travelers from all the better known cities of the world, such as Bombry and Berlin. To Americans, these are represented the goal of someday." Now, finding All-Year club's tourist dicate, the world is called Los Angeles as a "city we be visited."

The month's average was some 5¢ per box ahead of the July average; and as the volume of fruit sold was practically equal to that of July, preliminary figures indicate that the total f.o.b. return on Exchange valencias was greater than in July. Compared with other recent seasons, August sales were necessarily low in point of volume on account of the crop reduction from the cold weather of last winter. Total returns, however, were much greater than in any of the six preceding years. As a matter of fact, total returns were the third best on record for the month of August, being exceeded only in 1928 and in 1930. Lessened shipments did not mean a corresponding reduction in packing house work. Practically as many oranges were harvested as in August last year. Due to the necessity of careful grading to eliminate from fresh fruit channels those frosted oranges that would not give consumer satisfaction, the cullage approximated 35%. In other words, 35 oranges out of each 100 had to be withheld from the fresh fruit market. A large proportion of the culled fruit was used for by-product purposes or sold to fruit processors. Packing house managers continued to turn out excellently graded packs in face of exceptional difficulties. Without satisfactory fruit on the market, consumer demand could not have been maintained at nearly so good a level. As shipments were lighter in August, cars en route and on track were reduced, leaving the market in particularly good shape for the early part of September, when Jewish holidays and Labor Day would result in lighter sales.

URC Report Forms Mailed This Week California business firms which are subject to the Unemployment Reserves act will receive a form in the next few days to be filled out showing earnings of their workers. This announcement was made today by Samuel Leask, Jr., member of the unemployment reserves commission, who said some 4,000,-000 individual forms were in the mail. The forms, DE-352A, may be made as a carbon copy of treasury department form SS-2A, on which earnings for July, August and September are reported for old age benefits. Leask stressed the importance of filling out the social security number of each individual employee on the quarterly earnings report form. Without the number, he pointed out, the commission cannot pay accurate benefits, nor can the employer receive his proper merit rating, whereby his payments to the fund will be reduced in 1941. Tell the Merchant you saw his Ad in the Anaheim Gazette. Sales Tax Ruling - Effective Friday Retail merchants of southern California are reminded by Ray Edgar, member of the state board of equalization from the fourth district, that the board's new regulation, providing for posting of the sales tax separately from the retail selling price, becomes effective October 1. "This regulation was requested by several groups of merchant associations in the state," Edgar said, "because they believe merchants who have been absorbing the sales tax have been competing unfairly with those who have been collecting the tax from the consumer." Contrary to various reports, Edgar pointed out, no change has been made in the minimum amount on which the tax is collected, which remains at 15 cents and the entire schedule of taxes is the same as heretofore. Eighty-eight thousand tons of rich loam will be used to cover Treasure Island, man-made site of San Francisco's 1939 Exposition on San Francisco Bay.
