Cost of Producing Acre of Valencias Set at $364.88 by Farm Bureau Survey The cost of producing Valencia oranges in Orange county last year averaged $364.88 per acre. This figure includes cultural costs, taxes and interest on the investment as reported by 57 orange growers who are cooperating with the Agricultural Extension Service in a long time economic study. The study provides citrus growers with a standard of operating costs with which they can measure or compare their own orchard costs, says Farm Advisor Harold E. Wahlberg who is conducting the study. Among the average costs that made up the total cost per acre were tillage $29.10 per acre, irrigation $31.34, fertilizers $30.08, pruning $5.00, pest control $30.13, frost protection $74.19 (average in orchards using heaters), county taxes $41.84, depreciation $7.08, interest $72.58 and miscellaneous $43.54. The analysis, according to Wahlberg, revealed a wide variation in the costs reported by the growers for the same operation. For example, the highest and the lowest cost figure reported by the cooperators in the study for each operation were as follows: tillage $88.05 highest and $8.14 lowest; irrigation $115.20 and $13.63; fertilizers $114.92 and $3.50; pruning $120.25 and $1.00; pest control $52.87 and $15.82; frost protection $148.22 and $8.79. The report points out that some growers have spent more for certain items than is considered necessary for the maximum efficiency of the orchard. Other growers observations on orchard management by the Extension Service. Copies of the 1950 Valencia production cost study are available at the Farm Advisor's office, 1104 W. 8th st., Santa Ana.

Vetterill, former Anaheim High school journalism instructor, went on trial today on charges of lying to a federal grand jury investigating communist espionage. Veteril told the grand jury in 1949 that he had never given money to anyone to go to Japan. He also denied he had even been told that Ignacy Samuel Witczak was a red agent. The government says Vetteril gave money to Ichiro Ted Miwa, Japanese American, in 1941, in connection with a Russian spy ring in Japan. Witczak was identified as a Soviet spy during the Canadian espionage trial of 1946. Vetteril, instructor at El Camino Junior college in suburban Gardenna, was indicted on two counts of perjury May 2.

"We named the place, made all necessary preparations, directed the landing of the helicopter, guided American and Rhee (South Korean) liaison officers to the meeting and feted them with food and wine," the paper said. "Gen. Matthew B. Ridgway tried—when he suggested the Danish hospital ship Jutlanda as a meeting place—to help himself to the seat of host," the paper continued, "but later developments kept him in the seat of guest where he belongs."

Julius Blanchart, Jr., 25, a guard for only three months, suffered a possible skull fracture in the bloody gun battle. One of the two gunmen he killed had slugged him on the head with a shotgun after the weapon jammed. Blanchart, a former mail man, was lauded by police. Two other bandits escaped. Their slain companions were identified by police as well-known hoodlums and suspected members of a currency exchange robbery gang. They were Rocco Belcastro, 36, and Frank Piazza, 42. The shooting took place in the second floor garage of the Bowman Dairy Company distributing station at 836 Evergreen avenue, on the city's near north side. Blanchart and two other guards had driven the armored truck into the garage to pick up receipts from 250 drivers. Blanchart remained in the truck and the other two guards went to the third floor for the money. Brink's officials refused to say how much money was in the truck, but police said there were probably several thousand dollars. Blanchart told police when he saw two masked men, both wearing butcher smocks, and carrying shotguns, walking toward his truck he got out of the car and started shooting. Belcastro fell and Piazza turned and fled. Blanchart fired again and dropped Piazza. At that time Belcastro came up behind Blanchart and struck him on the head with the shotgun but the guard fired again and Belcastro sprawled at his feet. In the meantime, Blanchart had sounded the truck's siren and the other two guards joined him. Blanchart, with another guard, Emmet Ebert, 26, saw Piazza crouching behind a row of parked cars, attempting to reach his shotgun. They fired simultaneously, killing Piazza.

Headquarters of County Municipal Water District Set for Placentia Headquarters for the Orange county Municipal Water district, armed last Jan. 5 for the purpose joining the Metropolitan Water district and acquiring Colorado over rights, are expected to be located in Placentia under an arrangement approved by the district directors late yesterday. Placentia city council is said to have tentatively agreed to the arrangement, which would give the water district office space in Placentia city hall, and use of the council chambers for directors' meetings. The board has been meeting in the Orange city council chambers since directors were elected May 22. Coincident with the move to Placentia will be the employment City Clerk Don Haiber of Plentia as secretary of the water district, a step taken by the watt-district board yesterday, on motion of Director Clem McColch of Plentia. The water district would pay the city of Plentia $25 per month for use of the city hall, with telephone service to be paid at the district, and $100 contributed toward the alterations to provide office quarters. Official action by the Placentia city council to approve the arrangement is expected soon. Water district directors, with President Glenn P. Allen of Orange presiding, discussed budget and financing problems, having earlier approved a budget of $80,000 to pay back obligations connected with formation of the district, and for operating costs during the fiscal year 1951-52, including an election next fall on the question of annexing to the Metropolitan Water district. Arrangement of a loan not to exceed $25,000 from the First National Bank of Orange, at an interest rate of 3½ per cent, was authorized after interest rates quoted by several other banks had been examined, and it was found that the Orange bank had offered the most favorable rate. The loan will be drawn against as needed, to finance district operations until tax collections come in.

Bread Price Hike May Grow from New York Strike NEW YORK (AP) — The nine-day strike by AFL truck drivers against major New York bakeries today reached a showdown that might lead to nationwide increases in the price of wrapped bread. A special fact-finding committee, appointed by Mayor Vincent R. Impellitteri, last night offered a package settlement formula to the two sides and gave them until 4 p.m. (EST) today for their reply. The offer included the striker's chief demand, that their 40-hour week be spread over five days instead of six. A spokesman for the union, the AFL International Brotherhood of Teamsters, said acceptance of the five-day formula here would lead to its extension throughout the nation. The New York bakeries were expected to ask a one or two cent increase in the price of a wrapped loaf if the five-day week goes through. Persons close to negotiators said such increases would accompany a country-wide five-day week. Mason Rudolph of Clarkesville, Tenn., won the junior amateur golf championship last year at the Denver Country Club in Colorado.
