Colony Quips
On March 21, 1950, the Miami, Florida, Herald, carried a news story with this heading, "Florida's juicy citrus products roll into thirsty California and Texas markets" which went on to tell of sale of fresh Florida fruit, making no mention of frozen concentrate except to say that the last that Florida hardly had enough fruit to go around especially when one took into consideration the huge amounts still needed by the concentrate plants. When you remember what the Wall St. Journal had to say about the prices being received by Florida growers for their fruit it makes the California grower a little sad. Then when you go a step farther and realize that for the past two weeks this Florida fruit was outselling California's two to one in the auctions and had completely reversed the usual price structure it simply adds to the gloom. Instead of California having a 50 to 75 cent premium, Floridas were outselling us by as much as $1.20 a box average in all auctions. All this at a time when Florida was shipping about twice as much as we were interstate. What cooks?
A good chunk of orange land is reported sold for a new subdivision in this or that area and this or that farmer has pulled his orange trees to raise something else. These reports come in the public prints every day and point to

Council Approves 100 Homes Subdivision in SW Section
Adopts Ordinance Establishing 1100 Sq. Ft. Minimum for Homes
Final approval to a tract map of 28 lots at Water, City and Indiana streets and tentative approval to maps with total of 72 lots in the same subdivision was given by the Aheim city council at their regular meeting Tuesday night.
However before approving the maps the council adopted an emergency ordinance which established a 1100 sq. feet minimum in the area under construction. The ordinance effect immediately.
The 100 lots are being developed by the Kemmerer Engineer company of Anaheim and by Lifetime Homes of Santa Anita Vineyard Lot H-7. This lot is bounded by South, West, Oak and Water streets.
Property owners from that tion of the city including Carlson 550 South Ohio street express objection to tract development that area. Mrs. J. Betzel spoke favor of approval of the vision.
A good chunk of orange land is reported sold for a new subdivision in this or that area and this or that farmer has pulled his orange trees to raise something else. These reports come in the public prints every day and point to the not too healthy condition of our growers. Contrast this with the recent sale of a large grove in Florida. The name of the buyer was not disclosed but was identified as one of the largest citrus concentrate companies in the state. In other words Florida groves are bringing many times what they formerly sold for and are being kept in the job of raising oranges while out here with all the help of prorates, "greatest" and wrong side of the bed this morn-millions being spent on "research" and "extension services" the only thing many growers can see ahead of them is subdivisions and pulled trees. Having lived here for a few years and having been on the receiving end of a vast sea of propaganda designed to sell everyone on the "status quo" we get a bit disturbed on the performance, meaning the number of dollars left over that is sent to the number one man, namely, the grower. It simply makes our blood boil to read and listen to these great men tell us what is wrong and how good next year will be, at our expense, remember, and then expect us to roll over and play dead when we are the ones who are paying to make their future secure. Maybe we got up on the wrong side of the bed this morning but dog-gone this all gets our goat. Florida is doing a much better job than we are from a sales standpoint. They are selling right here in California, the canned juice from more oranges than we pack. Our authority for this last statement is an article in that paragon of all virtue, the Citrograph, which, incidentally is privately owned, its circulation being subsidized by the Exchange, its profits, in monumental figures, going to a select few. If someone will remind us we will tell you the whole story some time. We know the guy that started the publication. You caught the point, didn't you, that not one cent ever went to the growers who made the publication valuable to the advertisers and owners?

The city council oked the quest of the Volunteers of America for soliciting funds in Aheim, April 1.
Total warrants issued against the city for the two week period ending March 28 were $55,800.
We have always contended that the place to spend orange advertising dollars was in a direct slant to the consumer. The entire effort of the industry, we think, should be an attempt to do a better selling job on the product and let the grower decide where he wants to belong. Every deal has its own talking points and old man grower is getting to be a wise bird. He knows that Florida is beating us and he does not like it. Who does? Last week in the Los Angeles market Florida fruit was bringing more money than our own product. That is the unkindest cut of all. So when we hear that old stuff of a cheap Florida product it

Ground-breaking ceremonies for the new Thomas Jefferson school took place at 2 p.m. this afternoon at the site at 504 East South street.
Councilman Robert H. Boney turned the first spade ground, the second spade being turned over by Councillor Oscar W. Heying. The two Anaheim city officials represented Mayor Charles Pearson who had been called to Sacramento and was unable to attend.

Start Tuesday
Work was started on the school Tuesday morning by William Rohrbacker, contractor of Santa Ana who was awarded the contract on the basis of his low bid of $206,350. Initial work for the next few days will consist for the most part of the removal of approximately 400 orange trees which are on the property. Earl J. Spires of Anaheim is the subcontractor in charge of the removal of trees.
The school will be built on a 210-day construction schedule. It will be built of frame, stucco and some reinforced steel.

Boney, who is chairman of the Orange County Joint Outfall Sewer and Anaheim’s representative on the sanitation districts, in a report at Tuesday’s city council meeting said that the construction of the digester eliminates a threatening emergency.
“Without this new facility, we would have faced serious emergency and would have been unable to safely handle the sewage during the summer months. Because of this condition, the JOS proceeded with the expansion needed. The JOS will be reimbursed for construction costs from the sanitation funds authorized in the bond elections. The county counsel and the bond attorneys have both concurred that this is perfectly proper,” reported Boney.
“It will be completed by July 1, and will be ready in ample time to handle the summer industrial load. As the city of Anaheim contributes anywhere from 42 to 60 per cent of the industrial waste in the county, I need not emphasize the importance of this new digester to our city,” Boney further stated.

Total orchard income was $3,874,345 over 1948, to $500.

Independent Growers Blast Prorate
Southern California's orange growers, already groggy from severe frost damage to production and terrific marketing pressure from frozen concentrated juice, were taking another blow today in the obvious failure of what had long been considered by many to be a sure-fire method of increasing returns, according to Arthur Clark, manager of the Independent Citrus Growers and Shippers association.

Agriculture Returns $77 Million in '49
Orange county agriculture, battered by frost, disease and subdividers, and with 13 per cent less orchard acreage than a year ago, still boasts a dozen "million dollar" items and returned a total yield of $77,507,-800 for 1949, it was disclosed today in the annual crop report of Agricultural Commissioner Dixon W. Tubbs.
Valencia oranges still headed the list, with a yield of $31,665,000, representing an increase of 12 per cent in both production and income over 1948, despite the fact that 42 per cent of the crop was not packed as fresh fruit, but was marketed as loose fruit or by-products. In 1948 that figure was per cent.
Support High School on Tax Boost
In eight years the enrollment at the Anaheim Union high school will be approximately 2500 students. In view of this startling fact, the newly formed Citizens Committee plans to support the Anaheim High School Board of Trustees in their request for a 25-cent tax boost for each $100 of assessed valuation to be put to a public vote on May 19. This would provide the high school with $95,-000 a year for necessary expansion problems.
The committee, made up of 33 men and women representing local business and professional groups, met last Thursday night, March 23, to advise the Board of Trustees in matters pertaining to the school district. A. Bird Cross moved that the committee approve the purchase of additional land west of the campus immediately. The motion was unanimously passed.
H. R. Fox, former president of the Anaheim Elementary School board, and Dr. Paul Arnold, commander of the local Anaheim Legion, commended the work that is being done for veterans at the high school in "on-the-job" training.
The committee will meet again on April 20.
Florida Outselling
Clark reports that for the second consecutive week Florida competitors were outselling California two to one in the auctions and had completely reversed the usual price structure. Instead of California commanding a 50 to 75 cent premium, Florida Valencias in the week ending March 11 topped navels by $1.20 a box while last week the Florida premium was $1.07 average of all auctions. This was accomplished while Florida was shipping at least twice as much fruit interstate, said Clark.
The independent grower's manager continued: "Unfortunately it is not possible under the new 'overall' prorate to get absolutely accurate statistics on the volume of fruit consumed in California but it is safe to say that during the past month an average of 800 cars weekly were shipped interstate. Florida meantime had been rolling up to 1750 cars weekly of oranges and tangerines and steadily improving their price. Under our artificially controlled market we first had too high prices and later a steady decline. Trying to find the answer to this reversal of a traditional premium, the Independent Growers association polled selling members of its organization to get their opinions. We found reasons were plentiful and varied, including weather and quality, but one outstanding factor was mentioned by all. This was the inability under our volume regulation for big chain store buyers throughout the nation to secure supplies of California fruit for special sales.
"Florida's practice of selling special sizes to these buyers on a FOB basis in any volume desired, plus quick truck and rail delivery is paying off in a big way now that frozen concentrate has sharply cut housewife demand for fresh fruit.
"In pre-frost (take it both ways) years, California would normally ship 1500 to 1800 cars weekly and Florida at least a 2500 car average. But now the total shipments are far below this figure and the producing area which can "taken orders" is getting the business. Not the least of the bitterness in the present situation is the fact Florida oranges were outselling California even on the Los Angeles market last week.
"If anything is indicated by the present experience, it is that a
Total orchard income was up 874,345 over 1948, to $38,445,-100. Truck crops were down slightly at $5,571,500, compared to $5,-3,925 in 1948, due to a drop in cantings of lima beans for frozen stock, which offset gains in several other vegetables. Field crop yield was $6,589,000, a sharp drop from the $9,972,275 for 1948. Nursery stock yield was $1,080,000, slight below the 1948 figure of $1,-1,495.
Cows Grow
In livestock production, the county continued the rapid strides the past 25 years, during which it has grown from less than $2,-10,000 to more than $25,000,000 annual yield. The 1949 total was 5,641,200, another gain of near-five and a half million over 1948, when it was $20,138,945.
In that same 25 years, Tubbsport pointed out, while Valencia acreage has increased, that of mons, grapefruit and navel oranges has dropped. Walnut acreage has decreased from 16,000 to 100 acres. Avocados, on the other hand, increased from 300 to more than 2000 acres. Once there were more than 500 acres of apples, but now there are less than 10. Apricots, persimmons, grapes and loats are gone if not forgotten.
The once potent pepper industry of some 6000 acres was once early wiped out by the pepper devil. In 1949 there were 1105 acres of various varieties. Tomato production has been up and down,
