Growers Discuss Citrus Survey Plan at Meeting Friday Evening Action that may lead to an exhaustive and impartial survey of the citrus industry in California was started last Friday night at Orange union high school when a large group of citrus growers met to hear several talks in connection with the problem. As the Stanford university graduate school of business had been suggested as the agency to make the survey, J. Hugh Jackson, comptroller and dean of the school, was present to outline the work of his organization. Other speakers were Ralph McFadden of Placentia, president of the California Citrus Growers' league, sponsors of the meeting; Edward J. Power of Anaheim, chairman of the committee on standardization and marketing; A. J. Schutte of Anaheim, membership chairman, and Fred Gerdes, vice president. Jackson emphasized that if the Stanford school was chosen to make the survey, that it would be entirely unbiased and thorough, taking in all phases of the industry from production to delivery of the individual oranges. He declared that neither he or his organization has any preconceived notions about the industry. Speakers stressed the point that conditions cannot continue as at present; that in the face of constantly diminishing returns growers must take united action to save their holdings. The meeting held last March 14 by the league, when all of the marketing agencies were invited to have representatives present, was recalled. It was stated that because of lack of cooperation on the part of all marketers, appointment of a committee of seven to desire of the organization with facts, he said. In answering a previous question by marketing agents that trouble lies with the high costs, Power said: "Average cultural cost acre were $266.31 in 1921, 1939, $154.50 per acre, a record of $112 per acre, a figure which you will all agree is too obtain maximum results." "After many meetings with management of the major organizations, the California Citrus Growers' league deemed necessary to institute a economic study of our entire industry in order to ensure responsibility for the condition of the grower today. The ultimate phase of the cooperative principle is that management little responsibility to their membership or stockholders. It not be the primary interest any board of directors in coining the affairs of a business see that the investment stockholders is not dissipated lost?" Growers who did not join league Friday night were to send their memberships to league offices in the Bay America building in Santa Ana. The membership fee been reduced to $2. Meeting be held in various citrus districts of southern California to interest in the proposed which, it was pointed out, be made unless the grower port the program.

Speakers stressed the point that conditions cannot continue as at present; that in the face of constantly diminishing returns growers must take united action to save their holdings. The meeting held last March 14 by the league, when all of the marketing agencies were invited to have representatives present, was recalled. It was stated that because of lack of cooperation on the part of all marketers, appointment of a committee of seven to act as a steering group for the proposed survey had been held up. Thorough investigation of practices in packing houses, in selling and distribution was declared a necessity. Power said that he had interviewed 35 presidents of the largest concerns on the Pacific coast; that all were unanimous in assuring him that the league was on the right track in proposing a survey of the citrus industry. He said that the proposed survey would be divided into three general headings, production, packing and marketing. Growers, he said, must know about trends throughout the nation, about costs, not only in his grove, but in the packing sizes, wrapped and unwrapped fruit; must find out why certain packing house managers refused to accept a uniform system of bookkeeping as proposed a few years ago. Growers, he said, should know about advertising costs, media and sales methods; should know why the price of "reefers" is the same today as it was 10 years ago. In 1937-38, the valencia growers' net loss per acre exclusive of interest on investment and depreciation on trees was $16.16 and in 1938-39, the figure was raised to almost $23 an acre." Power declared. "The navel men haven't fared quite as well as the valencia men; their actual dollar and cents loss per acre date back to 1930 with almost $19.30 exclusive of interest on investment and depreciation on trees. In 1931, a $14 loss was sustained. In 1932, a $49 loss per acre was recorded. In 1933, the loss was $30 per acre, in 1937, $36 per acre and in 1938, a grand out of pocket per acre loss of $53.41. Please bear in mind that these figures are industry averages—many of you were unfortunate enough to carry a much larger deficit per acre." The California Citrus Growers' league is non-partisan in its viewpoint with regard to any marketing agency, Power said. It is the America building in Santa Ana. The membership has been reduced to $2. Meeting be held in various citrus districts of southern California to interest in the proposed program which, it was pointed out, be made unless the grower ports the program.

In answering a previous charge against marketing agents that the double lies with the high cultural costs, Power said: "Average cultural costs per tree were $266.31 in 1920. In 1899, $154.50 per acre, a reduction of $112 per acre, a figure which I think you will all agree is too low to obtain maximum results. "After many meetings with the management of the major marketing organizations, the California Citrus Growers' league deemed it necessary to institute a complete economic study of our entire industry in order to centralize responsibility for the condition of the grower today. The unfortunate phase of the cooperative principle is that management feels little responsibility to their membership or stockholders. Should not be the primary interest of any board of directors in conducting the affairs of a business to see that the investment of the stockholders is not dissipated or lost? Growers who did not join theague Friday night were urged to send their memberships to theague offices in the Bank of America building in Santa Ana. The membership fee has been reduced to $2.
