McFadden Says Farm Program Is Political (Continued from Page 1) whatever fruit is shipped by the packing house. "California oranges of good size and quality on the market will enable the grower to receive a greater return, while undesirable sizes and grades for fresh fruit shipping can be diverted to processing channels. Prices obtained here will put a floor under fresh fruit shipments. The return to the grower will cover costs or show a small profit," McCracken stated. Florida growers are beginning to tap the various avenues of consumer acceptance. The growers realize that they must move their citrus fruit in a manner in which the consumer wishes to purchase it. In addition to the fresh fruit some of Florida's exploitation is in canned and frozen concentrated orange juice.

The Orange County Veterans Relief association elects officers at an annual meeting. Recently elected to serve for 1950 were Victor C. Meyers, representing the Anaheim and Garden Grove districts, chairman, Phil C. Brooks, Santa Ana, Edwin C. Fisher, Orange, secretary-treasurer, and David Aaron of Buena Park.

The detection of the equipment means Florida growers are beginning to tap the various avenues of consumer acceptance. The growers realize that they must move their citrus fruit in a manner in which the consumer wishes to purchase it. In addition to the fresh fruit some of Florida's exploitation is in canned and frozen concentrated orange juice. "There is more Florida canned orange juice sold in California than there is packed in both California and Arizona. Volume of canned citrus juices in these two states is less than one-half the demand in the three Pacific coast states—the backyard of the California citrus industry," McCracken continued. McCracken pointed out that it was up to the grower to see that the packing houses do not ship sizes and grades of fruit which will not command a better price. Business Outlook The growers were told by Wilcox that the business outlook for the next year was "good" and that wages and employment would be good except in strike areas. The Exchange's assistant manager warned that the farm income for the coming year would not be more than 15 per cent lower than in 1949. "There will probably be the greatest competitive situation for the food dollar since 1940," he added. Despite frost damage this year of approximately 25 percent, the sizes are comparatively larger than last. This should indicate more premium-priced fruit, he said. Wilcox urged, along with McCracken, that the smaller-sized fruit be kept off the fresh fruit market and instead processed for juice, concentrate and other products. Only about 50 percent of this year's crop will be shipped to fresh fruit markets, he said. In addition to the possible 25 per cent frost injury, another 25 per cent is expected to be processed for economic reasons, Wilcox added. Latest information on the small sizes problem was offered by Puffer during the morning session. Survey figures compiled in recent months show there is an almost certain connection between the amount and the regularity of irrigation, soil types, and the size plague, the Orange county farm advisor said. Fruit Size Increased The auditorium group was told by Dr. Stewart elected to serve for 1950 were Victor C. Meyers, representing the Anaheim and Garden Grove districts, chairman, Phil C. Brooks, Santa Ana, Edwin C. Fisher, Orange, secretary-treasurer, and David Aaron of Buena Park. Editors Hear Wilcox On Citrus Future (Continued from page 1) production was on the definite downgrade, all of which made industry leaders believe that the job of selling should be able to return the grower a profit. Florida has some 60,000 acres yet to come into bearing and Texas will require about three years to come back after their bad frost of a year ago; was his estimate. But the future, he believes, will find all of our citrus finding a suitable outlet with the new products and ways of merchandising we will find. YOUNGER SON Mr. and Mrs. Herbert C. Younger of 273 Laurel avenue Brea announce the birth of a son weighing 8 pounds and 11 ounces on Tuesday, February 14, in Fullerton Cotton stage hospital. Latest information on the small sizes problem was offered by Puffer during the morning session. Survey figures compiled in recent months show there is an almost certain connection between the amount and the regularity of irrigation, soil types, and the size plague, the Orange county farm advisor said. Fruit Size Increased The auditorium group was told by Dr. Stewart that the size of fruit can be increased with 2-4.D, as a result of experiments recently conducted by University of California agricultural experts. Wilcox joined with Farm Advisor Harold E. Wahlberg and Ross Shafer, a Tustin citrus rancher in a panel-discussion concerned with new developments in frost-protection problems. Wahlberg submitted the results of a wind machine survey as proof of what can be done with this equipment. Cost cutting in fruit handling, according to Dr. Roy Smith of the University of California, can be accomplished with new developments in the field and packing houses. Describing in detail several experimental implements, Dr. Smith said "in years to come they may simplify the harvesting and packing processes." The morning sessions were opened by Ralph McFadden of the county board of supervisors. Richard Basse, chairman of the farm bureau's citrus department, relieved Wahlberg as chairman for the afternoon session. VOLUNTEERS WANTED!

Probe Gambling Situation In Orange County (Continued from page 1) They cannot use both legal clubs in the gamblers. Obviously, if they go and destroy the machines, they are destroying the evidence which they would be required to produce in any prosecution of an owner. If they prosecute the owners instead of destroying the machines, as they must, produce the machines as exhibits at the trial, on acquittal of the owner, the court would in all probability re-arise the "innocent" owner's property to him. But who said the owner was going to be acquitted. Well, the district attorney points to the record almost unbroken acquittals in such cases. Partly because of the attitude of the public itself—it is where you come in—it was, obviously enough, you, the public, which decided the method used to arrest gamblers, a matter of which grand jury also commented. Because justice court juries relied on convict slot machine operators, officials regard the prosecution weapon as futile, and there are using the only method deem effective; that is, seize and destroy the gambling equipment. The gamblers can laugh at the men after being acquitted by jury and having their slot machines restored to them. But unproven provisions of a state statute, officials can very simply put shoe on the other foot and in the gambler's laugh into a stream. Heriff Musick seizes the slot machines or punchboards and puts a notice that he will destroy them after 30 days. The destruction of the equipment means that are expensive gadgets; besides whatever money was in the machines when seized. (The sheriff turned more than $1500 into the county treasury from that source in 1949.) If he wants to take the doubtful chance of preventing loss of his equipment, the owner must himself institute court proceedings to restrain the sheriff. And that would be in superior court before a judge considering only the facts and the law—not before a lenient justice court jury. And if, instead, he decides to take the doubtful course of making another investment in new slot machines, hoping that lightning won't strike twice in the same place, then he's simply an incurable optimist. The old motto: "If at first you don't succeed, try, try again," just doesn't fit here. The Baltic sea is nearly 950 miles long and from 50 to 426 miles wide. Frances R. Stewart Succumbs at 76 Mrs. Frances R. Stewart, 76, died at her home, 9500 Olive, in Bellflower, on Thursday, February 16. Mrs. Stewart was born in Ohio and had lived in Anaheim for 45 years before she moved to Bellflower six years ago. She is survived by her husband, Martin V., of the home address; one son, Martin V., Jr. of Cypress, two daughters, Mrs. Henrietta Gregg of La Habra Heights and Mrs. Lenore Swartzbaugh of Cypress; and three grandchildren. Funeral services were conducted in the chapel of Backs, Campbell and Kaulbars on Saturday, February 18, at 10:30 a.m., with the Rev. Howard S. Congdon, pastor of the First Presbyterian church of Anaheim, officiating. Interment was in Anaheim cemetery. The easter oil plant is a tropical tree native to Africa and Asia. Gamblers can laugh at the men after acquitted by jury and having their slot machines restored to them. But unprovisions of a state statute, officials can very simply put shoe on the other foot and in the gambler's laugh into a team. Heriff Musick seizes the slot machines or punchboards and is a notice that he will destroy them after 30 days. The destruction of the equipment means that particular slot machines won't going to violate any more laws. It also means that the own-besides being out of business, lost a considerable sum invested in the slot machines, which SAVE 50% or More!
