XXV—NO. 203 JUDGE $3,000 PROFIT PER ACRE ON VALENCIAS E.M. Schlotter Has $14,840 Crop on Five Acres West of Town With the eastern orange market continuing to display an increasingly greedy attitude toward Anaheim valencias, it becomes more apparent that there will be numerous groves in the district which will show a return this season of $2000 an acre. Here's one that will approach the $300 per acre mark. E. M. Schlotter, of 600 North Olive-st, owns ten acres of valencias. Five acres, located west of the city, are in 14-year-old trees. Last year he obtained 3440 field boxes from the five acres. This season he will have considerably RAIN SLOWS UP VOTING ON BONDS Apathy and Over-confidence Only Fear of Advocates of Big Improvement Only 183 registered voters out of a total of 2,212 had voted today in Anaheim up to noon. Whether it is a foregone conclusion that the two issues of sewer bonds will be voted, or the drizzling rain, or both, voters were very slow in appearing, particularly at the Broadway school, where only 46 had appeared.

Here's one that will approach the $300 per acre mark. E. M. Schlotter, of 600 North Olive-st, owns ten acres of valenclas. Five acres, located west of the city, are in 14-year-old trees. Last year he obtained 3440 field boxes from the five acres. This season he will have considerably more, probably 4000. At 53 pounds to a box, this means he would take off 212,000 or more than one-fifth of a million pounds of fruit. At the present price of seven cents a pound on the tree, the crop would be worth $14,840, which isn't bad for five acres, even in the Anaheim district. Schlotter has been raising oranges here for 11 years. He says: "The best agricultural proposition in America, I firmly believe, is a good orange grove in the Anaheim district. But, if you are going in to raise fruit, buy the best grove you can get hold of. It does not pay to bother with a poor grove." Schlotter is a member of the Anaheim Coop. Orange Assn. Last year, he says, he was all but ready to sell early in the season to cash buyers for $3000 but decided to ship thru the association which he did, obtaining more than $7000 for the 3440 boxes. He says he expects to see fruit sell for 10 cents a pound before the season is over. Among other local growers who will enjoy large returns this year are Edgar Hartung, former cashier of the First National bank, who has 12,000 boxes, or more than $40,000 worth of fruit on 20 acres between Anaheim and the river near the Olive-bldd, and City Manager O. E. Edward who has 10,000 boxes on his ranch in the Golden State tract. 500 EMPLOYED ON SANTA FE TRACKS Five hundred are being employed by the Santa Fe in laying new steel rails thru Orange-co to San Diego, it was stated this morning at the local Santa Fe station.

If the House approves the recommendation of the Ways and Means committee, according to Manager W. H. Schurieman of the Anheim Citrus Fruit Assn. Senator Hiram Johnson has been working on this item among others for several months, but the matter has not received the publicity that other items have been given. California shippers, both of associations affiliated with the California Fruit Growers' Exchange and the independents, are a unit in favor of the tariff, for which the Citrus Protective League, representing all or practically all shipping organizations in the state, has been working. It is understood that President Lyons of the association, a Redlands shipper, is in Washington at the present time working in behalf of the item. Recently word reached here that Senator Johnson had received assurance from every member of the House committee that the two cents a pound tax would be put in the new tariff measure. Prices for oranges have been rising in California, particularly during the past year, and the same thing is true of Florida. Costs have been rising, also, and the only way in which growers can obtain an adequate return is to restrict the supply to a point somewhere near the demand. Florida is understood also to be in the movement to obtain the two-cent tariff. Two cents is a higher tariff than has prevailed in several years. The principal shipper of citrus fruit to America is Italy with Messina. The Italians have been particularly heavy shippers of lemons, to the ruination at fines of the American market for California lemons. It is feared that the Italians, with lower labor costs, will try to take advantage of the current and prosperous contractor, reported to police this morning that someone had raided his tools at 1008 East Center-st last night, and made away with a large number of them. He stated that all of the tools have either "D," or his full name inscribed on them. The tools missing include one rip-saw, Diaton 120 grade; one 9-point rip-saw; one 10-point rip-saw, one seigley jointer, one seigley smoother, one chaplin fore-plane, one jointer gauge, five chisels, and one saw set. T. A. Williams also reported a raid on his tools last night. Williams gave the following list of tools as having been stolen from his place of work on North and Zeyn-sts: One Stanley brace, five chisels, one hand level, five saws with a hole in the small end, one ever-keep hammer, one pocket knife one lukfin steel tape, metal case; one Yankee spiral screw driver.

Two cents is a higher tariff than has prevailed in several years. The principal shipper of citrus fruit to America is Italy with Merseia.
