Another Year Of Small Fruit Feared (Continued from page 1) size. The four: variety, rootstock, nutrition, weather. Concerning rootstocks he says: "Sour orange, at least under certain conditions, seem to exhibit the tendency to reduce the average fruit size to a lesser degree than the trifoliate orange." In Orange county there are many—perhaps a preponderance of Valencia trees growing on sour orange roostock, but only a few of trifoliate orange. "A permanent solution to the small fruit size problem in California," concludes Prof. Hodgson, "undoubtedly can be provided only by an adequate plant breeding program with larger fruited varieties as its objective. It would appear highly important that such a program be got under way as early as practicable." In considering the effect of weather on fruit sizes Hodgson says: "That the past four or five years have comprised a period of pronounced deficiency in total heat is generally recognized and readily demonstrable and, significantly, it has witnessed the most acute occurrence of the small fruit size problem in many years." In considering other factors Hodgson discards fruit thinning as of little practical benefit and says that use of extra nitrogen, instead of increasing fruit sizes, tends to make the tree throw heavier crops which causes a decrease in average fruit sizes. Other factors which Hodgson says may contribute to small orange crops are tree damage from long use of spray oils, trace element deficiencies and gradual accumulation of salines which increasingly interferes with the intake of water and mineral nutrients.

Wets Club Gives Blind Girl Check For Operation Is blind Annetta Louise Bloodth, Santa Ana youngster, reached in her small hand the rock by which her sight may be observed, she was enveloped by ones of applause from 1700 enthusiastic Fullerton Junior college students, last Friday in the audium on the campus. Dra "Chuck" Chandler, of Anaheim, vice-president of the colony, Vets' club handed the girl $483.91 check which completes $3000 fund needed for two sea transplants. The sum was paid by the Vet's club follow- Little U. S. Army Moves Into Mexico To Help Stop Advance of Black Fly The fight against the invasion of the California-Arizona citrus industry by Citrus Black Fly from the west coast of Mexico got underway this week as R. S. Woglum, chief entomologist of the California Fruit Growers Exchange, started his little army of pest fighters rolling southward on November 2. The control program, supported by the entire California-Arizona industry, is being carried on under the direction of Salvador Sanchez Colin, director general of agriculture of Mexico. Woglum will manage the California-Arizona contingent with the assistance of Joe Diaz as field supervisor. Cyril Gammon, California State Department of Agriculture, will advise on spray methods and James Mertz will assist in handling spray equipment. "The action of the industry in moving to fight this dangerous citrus pest is a perfect example of cooperation," Woglum stated this week. "We found that the U. S. Department of Agriculture could not make provision to undertake the work, pending Congressional action next year. It was essential for the industry to take over if the rapid northward movement of the Black Fly was to be stopped before it got out of control. By strange coincidence, Citrus Black Fly was first discovered by Woglum in India in 1912 as indicated by its scientific name, Aleurocanthus Woglumi. For many years it was believed the Black Fly did not present a problem to western citrus since it was thought it could not exist under our climatic conditions." Winter Topics On Farm Forum For Next Week The Agricultural Extension Service which broadcasts a program each week at 12:30 p.m. from Monday through Friday over station KVOE turns its attention this week to winter topics. The week's program: Monday, Nov. 17 — Ideas for Holiday Entertaining, Marian Prentiss, home demonstration agent. Tuesday, Nov. 18 — Economy in the Dairy Ration, W. M. Cory, assistant farm advisor. Wednesday, Nov. 19 — Avocado Situation in California, 1947, R. E. Puffer, assistant farm advisor. Thursday, Nov. 20 — Rabbit Demonstration, Harbor Hoppers 4-H Club. Friday, Nov. 21 — Grooming the Orchard for Winter, H. E. Wahlberg, farm advisor. During World War II, United States farm production increased twice as much as during the years between the two world wars.

CHURCH TO STAGE ANNUAL FOOD DRIVE The annual collection and staple food supplies held by St. Michael's church November 23 morning, at 9:30 o'clock. Tions will be given to the pal home for children, Kimball Saville, pastor s Attend Singing Teachers' Tea In Pasadena As one of the 700 members of the National Association of Teachers of Singing, Albert M. Cranston of 206 South Rose street, accompanied by Mrs. Cranston, attended a tea for all association members in the southwest section of the country last Sunday afternoon at the Margaret Coleman studio in Pasadena. There are approximately 60 delegates, by invitation, of the organization in the California, Arizona and Nevada area, Cranston disclosing Mrs. Cranston's father is a master sergeant in the Marines at El Toro Santa Ana. The majority of the fund was used by private subscription through the efforts of the Marine Corps. The lump sum donated by Vets club prevented the option, promised in the near future, from being postponed indefinitely. By strange coincidence, Citrus Black Fly was first discovered by Woglum in India in 1912 as indicated by its scientific name, Aleurocanthus Woglumi. For many years it was believed the Black Fly did not present a problem to western citrus since it was thought it could not exist under our climatic conditions. Early in 1946, however, the pest was found in the southern part of Sonora, Mexico, and a personal survey by Woglum last May showed Black Fly as far north as Guaymas—270 miles south of the U.S. border. To reach that far north, the pest had jumped several hundred miles of arid desert heretofore considered a natural obstacle. With a new high speed highway planned from Nogales to Guaymas in the near future and a new railroad from Mexicali to Guaymas, the chance that Black Fly might get into the U.S. will be greatly increased. It is the hope of both the Mexican government and the California-Arizona industry that the pest can be completely eradicated at Guaymas. An intensive spray control program will get underway immediately upon the arrival of Woglum's group at the battlefront. Cooperating with the California-Arizona citrus industry in the program are the Food Machinery Corporation which donated a spray rig and the Dodge Division of Chrysler Motors which worked diligently to make the necessary mobile equipment available. Five vehicles including spray rigs, tank trucks and utility trucks will take the army of pest hunters to Mexico. $250,000,000 "GOLD and SILVER CONTEST" Edwards Coffee 1-lb. can or jar 46¢ (Drip, Regular or Pulverized) Edwards Coffee 2-lb. can or jar 91¢ (Regular or Drip) CANNED FRUITS Apricots Valley Gold or Gold Coast 30-oz. can 23¢ (Choice, whole, unpeeled) Apricots Valley Gold 30-oz. can 28¢ (Choice, whole, peeled; 16-oz. can, 18c) Fruit Cocktail Dainty Mix 16-oz. can 23¢ (Also: Hostess Delight; 130-oz. can, 36c) CANNED JUICES Grapefruit Juice 3 11-oz. 25¢ (Townhouse, Natural; 46-oz. can, 19c) Apricot Nectar California Morning Sunny 16-oz. 12¢ SHARE IN THE DURING SAFEWAY RED ARROW EVENT VALUES CHECK THESE VALUES As one of the 700 members of the National Association of Teachers of Singing, Albert M. Cranston of 206 South Rose street, accompanied by Mrs. Cranston, attended a tea for all association members in the southwest section of the country last Sunday afternoon at the Margaret Coleman studio in Pasadena. There are approximately 60 delegates, by invitation, of the organization in the California, Arizona and Nevada area, Cranston disclosed. Mrs. Mario Chamlee, wife of the famus tenor, is the regional director. The affair Sunday was given in honor of Dr. Jan Popper of Stanford University, the sponsor of grand operas in English. Dr. Popper is director of the Intimate Players associated with Pelican Productions. Latest presentation of the players was "Cosi Fan Tutti" by Mozart in English at Las Palmas theater, Los Angeles. During the tea a scene from the colorful opera was presented. Cranston recently visited singer friends of the San Francisco Opera company when the group appeared in Los Angeles at the Shrine auditorium. He went back stage after performances of "Othello" and "Love of Three Kings." LAKE HENSHAW FISHING REPORTED 'GOOD' Seven bass, weighing approximately three pounds each, were caught by Augie Keeper and Bill Johnston at Lake Henshaw near the dam last Sunday. The duo used mudsuckers. At the Springs Tuesday, Johnny Mary, E. T. Bradley, Rudy Schwartzbach and Johnny Mary, Jr., nabbed eight crappie. Johnny, Jr., took five crappie. No bass were found, nor plugs used. The party fished with "go getters." Recent figures from the shoe industry show a monthly production of 40,000,000 pairs, or slightly more than the prewar rate.
