Citrus Institute Attracts Growers to Anaheim Friday (Continued from Page 1) Clark Donmeyer, sales promotion manager of Mutual Orange Distributors speaking on "Future Citrus Products and Juice" declared that processed fruit does not offer as much unhealthy competition to the fresh fruit market as does poor quality fresh fruit. Donmeyer asserted that processed fruit does not necessarily substitute fresh fruit on the market but rather creates new outlets. He said it was his opinion that perfect marketing is achieved when by properly coordinating fresh and processed activities, only fresh fruit that is acceptable to the consumer and profitable to the growers is shipped to market. Retaller's Profit Not High A. G. Salter, farm advisor, San Bernardino county, thought that through changes in cultural practices, resulting in subsequent reduced costs, the retail prices of oranges could be reduced. He disagreed with the theory that retailer's profits are too high. Salter quoted figures taken from a survey of over 2000 retail stores showing that the average profit was about one-half of one per cent on volume of sales and 6½ per cent on investment. He stated that he still thinks there are twice as many packing houses as are needed but the growers were entitled to as many as they want to support. A New Approach There Are No Lower Fares!

Marks, executive secretary of the Farm Bureau explained the farm bureau's citrus program and said it was the desire of the bureau to build up a citrus department which would be composed of growers from all sections of the county, organized to give mutual consultation and action. Tree Damage Not Severe In the morning session which featured talks on orchard operations affecting the size of fruits, J. C. Johnston, citrus specialist of the experiment station at Riverside, advised growers that a severe freeze is usually followed by an increased crop the next season. Johnston declared tree damage from the recent freeze was not too severe except for lemons. He advised growers to remove destroyed fruit as soon as possible and warned that trees shouldn't be pruned before midsummer, commenting, "dead branches do no harm." Richard E. Puffer, assistant farm advisor, Orange county, said it was up to the growers to solve the problems of the citrus industry—subsidies would not. He considered irrigation as the prime factor in fruit size and determination of the mean amount of water of utmost importance. 2,4-D Increases Size Dr. W. S. Stewart, plant pathologist, citrus experiment station at Riverside, discussed the use of 2,4-D in increasing the size of fruit. He told the growers experiments conducted at the station showed an increase in size of fruit when 2,4-D was used but was affected by controlling factors. First and foremost, according to the doctor, it must be realized that the use of 2,4-D is still in the experimental stage. It is known to increase the size but that time and amount of application has to be taken into consideration. In March, the extension service expects to publish a progress report which will be available to all Radio Show to Honor Red Cross Dedicated to the American Red Cross on the eve of its annual fund drive, a special radio program will be broadcast Friday night at 7 o'clock over station KHJ, Los Angeles, and station KVOE, Santa Ana, featuring Madeleine Carroll in "The Lady with a Lamp," a story of Florence Nightingale. This program is the twenty-second in the series, "Great Scenes from Great Plays," sponsored weekly by families of the Protestant Episcopal church. "The Lady with a Lamp" tells how Florence Nightingale opposed the proprieties of her strict Victorian English world in 1842 to achieve her dream of serving mankind by founding the modern tradition of nursing. The dramatic story of her awakening of a far-reaching spirit of compassion for human suffering and ways of alleviating it, are told in the radio play. Support of the American Red Cross will be asked people throughout the country in this special dedication broadcast. Miss Carroll actively participated in the work of the Red Cross overseas during the war years. 20-30 Leaders At 9-City Meet Top dignitaries of the 20-30 International were honored at the nine-city meet last Tuesday night in Whittier which was well attended by members of the local club including president Ralph Spencer.

Huberty, professor of irrigation, University of California, reminded growers of the critical water situation existing in the county due to continuous overpumping of the underground water supply. He asserted there is a real danger of salt intrusion in the underground and declared it is an absolute necessity that immediate steps be taken to check the overdraft and build up the reserve. The morning session was presided over by Harold E. Wahlberg, farm advisor, Orange county and C. C. Brisco, farm advisor, San Bernardino county was chairman of the afternoon session.
