KUCHEL Publisher MAX BESLER Assistant Publisher LEGNARD KREIDT City Editor HOWARD HALL News Editor STANLEY JONES Sports Editor NEIL STANLEY Advertising Manager RILEE MELLIER Assistant Advertising Manager RALEYN ROULAND Classified Advertising Manager DON YOUNG Circulation Manager Colony Quips By the Gazette Farm Editor Herewith Florida Mutual's reply to Killarney Fruit letter printed in our last column. This is absolutely required reading by every California citrus grower. The California industry is lagging in money return because of the lacadaisical attitude of her growers and not because of lack of economic value of her fruit. This is a sad situation and can ONLY be remedied by an alert, aggressive attitude of citrus growers. That is what Florida Mutual has made out of Florida growers. It would do the same for California growers. Here is the letter, read and study it: Killarney Fruit Company, Killarney, Florida. Attention: Mr. C. W. Irrgang, Jr., President, Gentlemen: As your letter of June 22nd addressed to the Board of Directors of Florida Citrus Mutual was given to the press and copies circulated throughout the industry, the Board has authorized me to make this reply public.

W. Irrgang, Jr., President, Gentlemen: As your letter of June 22nd addressed to the Board of Directors of Florida Citrus Mutual was given to the press and copies circulated throughout the industry, the Board has authorized me to make this reply public. The Mutual Board is appreciative of your interest in Mutual and of your frank discussion of many of the pertinent problems of the citrus industry. We are deeply concerned over the serious situation you describe and we are most anxious that such problems be understood by all of us. We realize that you, as well as all parts of the industry, must have a profitable existence if the services needed by our members are to be provided adequately and satisfactorily. It is gratifying that you are in favor of Mutual and that you believe it can do a good job for the Florida citrus industry. Mutual is still young; its operations are new and it must and will be responsive to criticism and suggestions. Your letter helps point up some of the experiences that will enable us to do a better job. The comments that follow are intended to clarify some of these problems so that you and other handlers whose positions are similar, as well as the growers you serve, will better understand Mutual's relationship to these problems. According to the published records, in the 1948-49 season Killarney Fruit Company shipped 212,837 boxes of fruit in interstate commerced, in the 1949-50 season 392,273 boxes, and, as stated in your letter, 311,909 boxes during the season just finished. You have more than doubled your business in the two years of Mutual's operations, and I think that such growth and the ability to develop fresh fruit business in the face of the present trends in the industry is an outstanding record. It would seem to us that this growth must have been influenced by the stability and confidence created by Mutual during most of this period. That during this past season you were able to sell 59 per cent of this expanded output F.O.B. is a real accomplishment. With the smaller volume you handled the previous year you had 76 per cent F.O.B. sales, and it is not surprising that there was a percentage decrease in this highly competitive type of sale with the much larger volume you handled this season. That you were able to sell as much as 59 per cent of your output on an F.O.B. basis, thus maintaining your past F.O.B. box volume in the face of the competition you had to meet certainly indicates the splendid job you must have done. We believe that Mutual's published floor F.O.B. prices helped rather than harmed your ability to secure F.O.B. business. It seems to us that if this information had not been available to you and to the trade, in the face of the industry's increased production, your proportion of F.O.B. sales would probably have been much further reduced. We are very conscious of the feeling that you and many other cash-buying fresh fruit handlers have concerning the prices that growers expected to get for their fruit. During these past two years growers, really, for the first time in citrus history, have been fully informed as to the economic value of their production under the conditions as they were generally accepted by the majority of the industry. However, I want to point out that Mutual has not established the actual price that growers should receive for their fruit "on tree." Of course, F.O.B. prices or delivered to cannery prices can be converted to an "on tree" equivalent and are by most people in the industry. Mutual, as well as others in the industry, has quoted the any decisions that Since the advent of you, of "condemning," and all canners and readers, understanding o much better today t about because Mutual all segments of the in IN THE LONG A 75 Years Ag From the Santa M look: "Anaheim is furthest importance of the tension, and the Gazette very earnest in presen readers the many adv meeting will be held at an early date."

Sin Si Wau—Prov We are very conscious of the feeling that you and many other cash-buying fresh fruit handlers have concerning the prices that growers expected to get for their fruit. During these past two years growers, really, for the first time in citrus history, have been fully informed as to the economic value of their production under the conditions as they were generally accepted by the majority of the industry. However, I want to point out that Mutual has not established the actual price that growers should receive for their fruit "on tree." Of course, F.O.B. prices or delivered to cannery prices can be converted to an "on tree" equivalent and are by most people in the industry. Mutual, as well as others in the industry, has quoted the best published figures that were available as to the average industry costs of picking, hauling, packing, marketing, etc. This information has been available to all parts of the industry each season but many growers have not been aware of it. They are not Mutual's figures, as Mutual has not made any cost studies of its own. Commenting on the handling costs which you mentioned in your letter, these are published figures on probable averages for the 1950-51 season as developed by the University of Florida based on previous seasons costs which have heretofore been accepted as representative. These are contained in the University of Florida Agricultural Experiment Station Special Report, Series No. 51-5. Mutual does recognize that costs change and that they have changed materially during the past year. Many of our statements give recognition of this fact. We fully recognize that all parts of the industry are entitled to and must have adequate margins, if they are to perform the services the industry requires. Mutual's policy of setting floor prices may be subject to criticism but if Mutual, in your opinion and that of others in the industry, has made mistakes, they are mistakes of the industry. Mutual reflects the majority opinion of the industry. In going back over this past season with all of its troubles, Mutual's actions have been consistent with the majority opinion of the industry as to the size and value of the crop. It is true that there are differences of opinion as to the desirability of changing floor prices once they are established. Certainly the experience of the past eight weeks will lead many in the industry to feel it is unwise. However, had the full facts of our production problem been known and recognized earlier in the season, the price situation that eventually developed would not have been difficult as it turned out to be. Many will agree with you that the risky tool of establishing minimum prices should be used solely as a basic protection to the industry and that such prices should reflect cost of production plus a reasonable profit. We do not know of any practical, equitable method of applying minimum prices at an "on tree" level. Picking, hauling and other harvesting costs vary too greatly. Contrary to your comment, I believe that since Mutual has been a part of the industry that there is actually more incentive and more pride in shipping better fruit, better packed and handled so it will have greater appeal to the consumer. This applies to both fresh and processed fruit. One of Mutual's most important services to the industry is the collection and dissemination of statistics and information helpful to growers, shippers, processors, and the trade. Apparently Mutual has done a rather effective job in this field. Your own experience would seem to indicate it. We believe that other operators have had similar experience where their management and good judgment have been as good as your own. It has been Mutual's primary objective to concentrate on hard-headed thinking of a constructive nature on the major problems of the industry. To this end Mutual has been guided by probably the most outstanding group of practical operators in the industry today. We have an Advisory committee elected by the Board to assist in reaching determinations that affect the industry. I think you will agree that this group is representative of all areas geographically and of all segments of the industry as to interests, whether fresh fruit packer, canner, concentrator, intermediary handler, independent, grower-handler or co-operative. Mutual has recognized since it is a grower's organization, that it must have competent advice from the skilled and practical operators within the industry, and our actions have been based upon the advice of just such people. One of the difficult problems of any organization such as Mutual is to have its policies and its statements understood. But this is nothing new in the industry. Things that are said and things that are written are very often quoted out of context and interpretations placed upon them that are entirely misleading. Mutual cannot help what others say about it. But it can tell the truth and it can give the industry practical unbiased information. I think the record fully bears out that it has done so. Mutual has been in the open in facing industry problems. It will continue to set this way and it will be sure that all segments of the industry are fairly represented and fairly heard in any decisions that have to be made. Since the advent of Mutual the grower's attitude, and I quote you, of "condemning all bird-dogs as 'thieves,' all packers as 'crooks' and all canners and concentrators as 'birds-of-prey'," has changed. The understanding of the growers relationship to the handlers is much better today than ever before. This undoubtedly has come about because Mutual has tried honestly and conscientiously to treat all segments of the industry with fairness and has made it possible (Continued on Page 8) St. Boniface Wins First-of Playoffs St. Boniface won the first game of the Church League Playoffs by beating the strong Church of Christ 3 to 1. These two teams will play at 8:30 on Tuesday night. St. Boniface scored one run in the first on a walk to Bud Stoffel, who advanced on an out, and scored on a single by Bob Stoffel. In the fourth they scored one run on an error by the center fielder and a single by Mike Patin. In the sixth they scored one more run on an error by the short stop and singles by Patin and Jack Kirsch. In the seventh Don Schilling was safe on an error, advanced to second on an out and scored on Vern Granere's single for Church of Christ's only run. St. Boniface—Bud Stoffel, ss 2 1 0 J.

HENRY KUCHEL 75 Years Ago From the Santa Monica Outlook: "Anaheim is fully alive to the importance of the railroad extension, and the Gazette has been very earnest in presenting to its readers the many advantages. A meeting will be held in that town at an early date." The Artesia settlement is making wonderful progress. With in the last six months we understand from a gentleman from that vicinity, about forty farms have been opened in Artesia and that number of houses erected. It is a flourishing locality. Dr. Grey and J. R. Opitz have filed bonds necessary for starting a cigar manufactory at this place. Arclibald McCaw who has been a dealer in "Puts and Calls." in Los Angeles, has absconded. He will be arrested and brought back to answer a charge of obtaining money under false pretenses. Jesse Burton of Santa Ana who accidentally shot himself through the hand some days ago, is recovering. Among the freight arrivals at the depot was packages of ice for the Planter's Hotel, R. J.

Herman Dickel made a trip into the Peatlands one day last week in search of potatoes. Spuds are scarce in the local market and command fancy prices. Mrs. Schauman returned last week to mLos Angeles where she spent a couple of weeks visiting friends. 25 Years Ago Our young friend, Edgar Johnson, editor of the Fullerton "News-Tribune" makes the following kind reference to an erroneous item recently appearing in a number of Southern California newspapers: "At the time the National Editorial association visited Orange county, an item appeared in a number of publications, stating that in point of service, the editor of the News-Tribune was the oldest editor in Orange county. This is a mistake." When the writer was publishing a small weekly paper in Santa Ana, 40 years age, or longer, Henry and Charles Kuchel were publishing the Anaheim Gazette. During this long period Henry Kuchel has been editor of the Gazette, therefore in point of service he is the oldest editor in the county. Forty years ago there was no Orange county—it was Los Angeles county. Many years ago Charles sold his interest in the Anaheim Gazette, to his brother, Henry Kuchel, who is well known as the best editorial writer in Southern California. Out of a membership of about 100 at the time the Southern California Editorial association was formed, 40 years ago Henry Kuchel of Anaheim Church of Christ's only run. Baptists Down White Temple 3-1 Bethel Baptist downed White Temple by the identical score of the first game, 3 to 1; on two hits. Bethel Baptist scored two runs in the second, on a walk, an error by the pitcher, an infield out and a fielder's choice. In the fifth, they scored one more run, on an error by the shortstop and a double by Marv Hartmann. White Temple threatened only in the seventh, when they scored one run after two were out, on singles by Duane Duncan and Wilbur Herman. These two teams will play at 7:15 on Tuesday night.

Rams Lick Proud Chicago Bears LOS ANGELES (UP)—Two exhibition victories hardly make a regular season of battle in the National football league, but championship hopes of the Los Angeles Rams sprang into full bloom today. Coach Joe Stydahar's Rams plastered a 42-14 licking on the proud Chicago Bears last night in what the record book says was the worst defeat suffered by George Halas' midway monsters since 1929. In that year, in regular season competition, the Chicago Cards whipped the Bears, 40-6, and the New York Giants added a 34-0 whipping. The Rams, scoring seven touchdowns, had the Bears bleeding by a 42-7 count until the final two minutes. Then a Ram fumble on their own five set up an easy chance to collect a touchdown. A crowd of 65,314 witnessed the contest. Last week the Rams hammered Washington for a 58-14 triumph before 91,985 fans. Once again the Ram running attack, fashioned by assistant coach Hampton Pool and Stydahar, all but overshadowed the brilliant aerial game. And rousing touchdown runs by V. T. Smith for 71 yards by Ury Williams for 61 sent the crowd to its feet. Cold figures show the Rams outgaining the Bears rushing, 182 to 121, and as expected, 248 to 143 in the air. The first Ram touchdown march consumed 64 yards, and all but 17 on one pass were gained rushing the ball. Quarterbacks Bob Waterfield and Norman Van Brocklin split passing honors as the Bears' Johnny Lujack, completing 12 out of 27 passes, earned only 99 yards. Hollywood Stars Whip Rainiers 7-5 (By The Associated Press) The Hollywood Stars still are battling, even if forlornly, for the Pacific Coast league pennant. They whipped the Pacific coast league-leading Seattle Rainiers last night, 7 to 5. It was the first game in a series of six. The victory left the Stars five games behind, with five to go. Each has 19 left on the schedule. It was a county fair ball game, with nine pitchers seeing action and 20 hits rattling through the infield and up against the fences. George Schmees, Hollywood's big rightfielder, provided the difference in batting punch between the teams. He clouted a homer, his 26th, over a sign 360 feet from home plate, with Gene Handley on base in the third inning, and his triple with Chuck Stevens aboard came in the seventh scored the winning tally. Managers Rogers Hornsby of Seattle and Fred Haney of Hollywood engaged in a battle in the last of the sixth. Dino Restelli opened up with a single against Steve Nagy and Frank Kolleher doubled into Seattle's bullpen.
