Citrus Institute Told Growers Must Raise Better Fruit Continued from Page 1 during the morning session, A. G. Salter stated, "Efficient citrus growers need not worry if they have good consistent quality of produce. The man with large fruit and good production will make a good profit. The inefficient man with small fruit of nondependable quality, low production and inconsistent growing methods will not show profit." Continuing in the same vein he stressed that quantity and maximum production are the answer to high cost problems. For example, he said that the costs per field box according to number would be as follows: 2, $2.11; 3, $1.72; 3½, $1.65; 4, $1.53; 5, $1.41, and 6, $1.34. The average cost per packed box from grove to wholesaler was as follows: cost of box, 6 cents; district exchange, 1 cent; advertising, 7 cents; selling, 8 cents; pruning, 13 cents; frost protection, 1 cent; irrigation, 14 cents; pest control, 20 cents; taxes, 2 cents; picking, packing 90 cents; fertilization, 32 cents, and freight and refrigeration, $1.53. Citrus commodities have had a 228 per cent increase since 1930. Although California and Florida production is almost even, freight rates are much lower for Florida, Salter stated. Although this area can't compete in price, it can in quality, said the speaker. Growth in the citrus industry was shown by the speaker. His graphic demonstration showed the increase in production by utilizing orange boxes nailed end to end, each representing 10 million packed boxes. The smallest stack Harold E. Wahlberg, Orange county farm advisor, was chairman of the morning session, 9:30 to 12 o'clock. First speaker, Dr. L. R. Jeppson, from the citrus experiment station, discussed "New Control Materials for Citrus Red Spider and Mites." He suggested that sulphur spray for citrus pests be applied before the leaf curls. R. E. Puffer, assistant farm advisor of Orange county said, "A grove which yields under 250 field boxes of fruit to the acre must be regarded as marginal and will not show profit. More than 250 to 350 field boxes per acre is essential. The average for Orange county is 250 to 300." When a tree drops below three field boxes produced per year, it should be removed, and a new one ordered. Pest control scientifically done, will aid in increased production, he concluded. Dr. W. S. Stewart of the citrus experiment station, Riverside, described experiments of the well-known weed killer, 2-4D in preventing fruit and leaf drop. It has reduced fruit drop as much as 80 per cent but results of experiments cannot be called conclusive yet. Dr. Stewart said. As a growth regulator, 2-4D seems to keep the separation layer between orange and the stem in a healthy condition, preventing a brittle portion of the stem. He recommended use on a small part of a grove only. "Do Our Soils Need Acidifying" was the topic of Dr. Dan G. Aldrich, citrus experimental station man. The term "PH" is used in determining the alkalinity or acidity of soil. Best result are found when soil in the grove registers PH 7 (neutral) or between PH 6 and 8. An extreme condition causes no reaction from nutrients, including nitrogen, essential for "Wind Machines vs. Oxygen Heaters" was the topic of Johnston of the agriculture tension service. Orchard heaters are expected to operate and to obtain but most protection, he said ever," wind machines are when there is a ceiling of air above which can be with the colder air around trees thus raising temperature approximately two degrees. Machines also allow fruit to cool below 32 degrees w freezing by keeping it dry included. Less Parking Space Will Come With New Lighting (Continued from Page 1) from previous years.

Best result are found when soil in the grove registers PH 7 (neutral) or between PH 6 and 8. An extreme condition causes no reaction from nutrients, including nitrogen, essential for good crops. Sulpha and sulphates are now sold on the market, but according to the chemical makeup of soil may be a complete waste of money, he said.

Propose State College For Orange County A bill to the state legislature authorizing establishment of a four-year state college in Orange county within the near future has just been introduced by Senator Clyde A. Watson. The new college which Senator Watson proposes to secure for this county has been recommended in the recent Strayer report on higher education in California calling for an institution of learning on the state level to serve the Orange county, Compton and Long Beach area. Also backing the proposed bill is Assemblyman Earl Stanley, it was reported this week by Mel Faget, president of the Santa Ana Chamber of Commerce, and Stanley Bates, secretary-manager. The two Santa Ana citizens have just returned from a trip to the capital city to learn the possibility of a county college. Discussion of a possible location began during a meeting called by the Santa Ana Chamber of Commerce, with the Anaheim, Fullerton, Huntington Beach and Newport Beach Chambers of Commerce together with officials of Santa Ana, Fullerton and Orange Coast junior colleges last night (Wednesday) at 7:30 o'clock in the little theater of Santa Ana high school. The bill to be presented in Sacramento will be in opposition to a similar bill already before the legislature to locate the state college in Compton, Bates and Faget disclosed. Consideration of the bills this year by the legislature depends on its consideration of the proposals as “emergency legislation,” the county men stated. The proposed new college will not be a branch of the University of California, as previously understood, but rather a state college, operated under the state board of education, it was announced. “Orange county must have this new college, and my bill is the first published notice of our intention of locating it there,” said Senator Watson in discussing his reason for introducing the bill at this time. “It is possible that this measure may not get further in this budgetary session than the introductory stage due to constitutional restrictions on matters that may be considered. I nevertheless shall press this matter as far as possible, and if it is not given the final favorable consideration before adjournment, I shall have at least laid a broad foundation for the continuance of my next regular session my request for the local new college in Orange been accepted favorable friends in both the San Assembly.” The Strayer report describes the subject of state college for an initial plant in the county vicinity which would moderate 2,000 students per pletion and plans for which would take care of a student body of 5,000 by fact that Dr. Strayer prepares his report for a 150 point increase in student facilities particular school during 22 years, indicates what staff thinks the population of Orange county and why be during the next two Faget and Bates remarks. The two county members referred with Assembly Sam Collins and Senate Watson while in Sacramento. ATTENDS RIVERSIDE Mrs. R. F. Nipper of Water street, Anaheim guest of Mrs. Donald J.

WE SAID IT IN 1920...WE SAY THRIFT IS NEEDED TO WE SAID IT IN 1920...WE SAY THRIFT IS NEEDED TO Note below what General Electric was telling its employees with what we’ve been saying recently. The passage Tremaine, then managers of the G.E. Lamp Department. "Why the Cost of Living Is So High" There are several reasons why the cost of living is so high. The cost of living is always high after a war. We must — we can’t say it to ourselves too often — we must pay for the war. And one of the things that we have to ‘pay for’ is the diverting of the machinery and energy of production to war uses, on the one hand, and on the other the actual destruction, or complete cessation, of so much of the ‘producing’ of peace-time. "We haven’t the things that we had before the war. We haven’t the things that we need now. And it follows inevitably that the price of the things there are is high . . . If each one of us is going to do his bit — and it is a very big ‘bit’ indeed — toward bringing down prices, he is not only going to work as hard as he can on his own particular ‘stint’ of production (that goes without saying!), but he is going to do without everything he doesn’t actually have to have, so that the supply of things will be increased to a normal amount again. Then life, with its law of supply and demand, may move on normally once more." "We Need Economy ... As Never Before" Nobody wants plain things nowadays. People are demanding better quality, and more elaborate design, than ever before. The ‘higher earning power’ of the day [is] expressing itself not in thrift or in provision for the future but in eager expenditure. It is probably a natural reaction from the sacrifice and the hardship of wartime, and it is not the business of any of us simply to find fault with it. But it is the worst possible way of meeting the situation that exists today. And this is at a time when, both for ourselves and for our country, we need economy as we never needed it before." "Thrift Is the Elimination of Waste" "Thrift Is the Elimination of Waste" "The thrifty person works hard, spends wisely and with forethought, is careful of his possessions, and saves money. Thrift at this present moment does two things to the high cost of living: it gets us through it; and it brings it down. Last summer the Attorney General told the country that the only way to bring down the price of things was for every one to 'work and save.' But just what is it that individual saving will do to this gigantic nation-wide problem of the high cost of living...? It will hold 'demand' down to a minimum while 'supply' is catching up with it." WHY GIVE ANSWERS TO THE PROBLEMS OF 1920— Because history is repeating itself again. Because the right The cure to inflation in 1920 was "more production, "Produce more, buy carefully, put the difference away the basic principles are the same! G.E.'s sound advice ANAHEIM WO GENERAL least laid a broad foundation for the continuance of my efforts at the next regular session. So far my request for the location of the new college in Orange county has been accepted favorably by my friends in both the Senate and Assembly." The Strayer report dealing with the subject of state colleges calls for an initial plant in the Orange county vicinity which will accommodate 2,000 students upon completion and plans for expansion which would take care of a student body of 5,000 by 1970. The fact that Dr. Strayer provides in his report for a 150 per cent increase in student facilities for this particular school during the next 22 years, indicates what his survey staff thinks the population curve of Orange county and vicinity will be during the next two decades, Faget and Bates remarked. The two county men also conferred with Assembly Speaker Sam Collins and Senator Clyde Watson while in Sacramento. ATTENDS RIVERSIDE PARTY Mrs. R. F.

Lamp Department, to their employees in September 1920. "Guideposts toward Saving" "We can't achieve thrift merely by emphasizing its desirability, or even by determining to 'save.' We must put hard thought, as well as self-discipline, into the business. . . . 'Look ahead and exercise watchful care over all your expenditures' is one man's first guidepost on the road to thrift. The same authority goes on to remark that, while one may be systematic and not thrifty, it is almost impossible to conceive of real thrift without system. System consists largely, he tells us, of the three following elements: "1st. In knowing what you are trying to accomplish. "2nd. In thinking about what you are doing as you go along. "3rd. In knowing in advance what you are going to need." "Pet Economies vs. Thrift" "Now if there is one thing that stands out more than another in this thrift-planning, it is that not much is to be gained by the cherishing of some one 'pet economy.' . . . It is a bad thing because it makes us feel that we are being thrifty when we are not! The person who practices it is 'penny wise and pound foolish.' . . . Thrift is wise planning and management of one's whole scheme of life." "Money Is Cheap" "There is another personal reason for saving money now, and that is that money is cheap. It's the only thing that is! It's a good deal better business, therefore, to lay up money at present 'prices' than to lay up anything that money could buy. "This is what that means: it means that earning power is higher, and purchasing power lower, than it has ever been; it means that a dollar now is worth only fifty cents by the purchasing standards of a few years ago; and by the same token it means that that dollar will in a few years be worth two dollars by the purchasing standards of today." What Are We Going to Do about It?" If we have common sense, we are going to be thrifty. As a matter of fact, there is some evidence already that the tide is beginning to turn. Those of us who are sensible, well-balanced, forward-thinking Americans are going to swing with all our might, with that turning tide — not just to be borne along, but to give our own strength to it. We are going to make things different. We can, and we will!" MS OF 1920—WHEN WE FACE THE PROBLEMS OF 1948? Because the right answers then are the right answers now. "more production, greater thrift." Today we are saying: the difference away in savings." But, whatever the words, G.E.'s sound advice of 1920 is the sound advice of 1948. NATHAHEIM WORKS GE ELECTRIC
