Florida Price Slump Halted by Quick Action of Mutual By The Gazette Farm Editor Having been asked by many citrus growers to give a more comprehensive picture of the orange industry around Anaheim as well as in Florida, this newspaper will run, from time to time, articles which it feels will be informative to the growers of this section. The following information about Florida Citrus Mutual gives an insight into the value of Mutual to the Florida grower. If you care for this type of article drop a card to the Farm Editor and more will be handled. Florida citrus mutual, the supercooperative formed only last spring to stabilize the citrus industry, already has proved its value and ability, a Mutual leader told growers here yesterday. Last November, when falling prices created the season's first crisis, Mutual stopped the slump by fixing minimum prices and saving growers millions of dollars, Alden M. Drury, Mutual general manager, said. Only last week it again invoked its price fixing powers after a month of declining returns, and so far results have been good, he reported. Drury spoke at the sixth annual Gulf Citrus Growers Institute. "The record so far has been one of which all of us can well be proud," he said. "Mutual has set a pattern that is the envy of agricultural groups from coast to coast." There has been some rough going, and there will be more tough problems to meet, Drury said, but he predicted a future as successful as the past if all Mutual elements continue their loyal support and teamwork. Mutual's grower members control more than 90 per cent of State's citrus crop. It has contracted for handling that fruit with all Florida processors who operate this season and 90 per cent of fresh fruit shipper. Further testimony to Mutual value to the industry came from Homer E. Hooks, secretary-manager of the Canners League of Florida. "We support Mutual because honestly feel it is doing a good job for Florida citrus — not just one part of the industry, but all parts," Hooks said. Consumers Balk Hooks also told the growers that the most recent price slump should not be blamed on concentrate although they started the gene decline by lowering the amount they would pay growers for anges. "Consumers have forced reductions by refusing to pay price (for the concentrate) which think are out of line," Hooks said. The canners official warned three threats to present city prosperity. 1. The belief of some that citrus processors should be regulated, despite the progress made without controls. 2. Too high prices, which could be as dangerous as too low prices by forcing consumers to turn other products, thus causing "back up inventories and shut-down plants." 3. Lack of planning for the future. "We should be planning right now for a record crop." WOW! ANAHEIM APPLIANCE NOW! BUY THE THINGS YOU WANT! with the small change YOU'LL NEVER MISS!

Too high prices, which could dangerous as too low prices, pricing consumers to turn to products, thus causing "back inventories and shut-down." Back of planning for the future for a record crop in 1950-51, with a real surplus threat." Florida citrus growers may pocket between $170 million and $185 million this season, making it the most prosperous in history, Dr. J. Wayne Reitz, provost of agriculture at the University of Florida and a longtime citrus expert, said later. He said the present record high was set in 1945-46, when citrus income totaled $168 million. Last season's income was $103 million. Dr. Deitz told the growers California's citrus industry is definitely on the decline, although it will "not go out of the picture."" Texas, which suffered heavy freeze losses in the Winter of 1949, will make a comeback within the next five years, he predicted. Texas is Florida's chief competitor for grapefruit, as is California for oranges. Hi-Jackers Take $500 From Asari Two masked robbers held up Harley Asari, Japanese proprietor of a gold fish farm near Westminster, and relieved him of $500 in cash as he was entering the drive way of his home on Wintersburg road near Westminster Monday night at 10:50 p.m. Asari told sherrif's deputies that the two armed men, one a negro and a mexican, flagged him with a flash light at the entrance of his driveway. After taking his wallet, they fled in a waiting car. Miss Mary M. Squires, an employee of the Santa Ana Community Hospital, was knocked unconscious by a man who first ran her car off the Olive-Orange Highway a mile south of Olive Monday. Miss Squires and Gladys Nelson, also of the hospital, left a cafe near the Yorba bridge in Santa Ana canyon shortly before the attack. As they passed through Olive, another car began following them, they reported. A mile south of Olive, the car behind ran into their rear bumper several times and finally forced them to the side of the road. Miss Squires got out of the car and as the man approached her, demanded to know what he was trying to do. His answer was a blow in the eye which knocked her down. At this point, Miss Nelson tried to pull the man away but he pushed her aside. Then he struck Miss Squires again and knocked her out. Then he drove away. The two women reported the assault to the sherrif's office. They could give no clear description of the car or the driver. The Baltic sea is nearly 950 miles long and from 50 to 426 miles wide.
