ROAD COMMISSION IN ANAHEIM VISITS The three men Highway Commission retary Carl McStuart of So. Calif. were The Anaheim district's shipments of navel oranges will show a 20 per cent jump over last year, according to Manager G. W. Sandilands of the Anaheim Orange & Lemon Ass'n. The latter finished shipments Saturday. Its total was 40 cars against 30 last year. Skiing up of the fruit, with better weather conditions, made possible better showing. Last year cold weather intervened in the midst of the season, altho higher prices after this made good the loss in part. Sandilands estimates 125 carloads of navels for the district. The county is likely to show a similar jump of 20 per cent he believcs. The southern hal of the county is practically thru shipping, but the northern half is still busy. The Placeia Orange Growers of Fullerton, for example, will not finish until next week, if then, depending upon clear weather for picking. The condition of the valencia crop is steadily improving and not an orange has been touched by cold weather anywhere so far as known. It will be about two weeks yet probably before shipping of Mediterranean sweets and St. Micheals' begins in this district.

Poor attended a meeting and banquet for the district men of the Stewart Fruit Co. at Los Angeles a few days ago. Most coast districts where the company operates were represented, and reports very satisfactory to the officers were turned in. It was shown that the company's shipments showed a considerable increase over the preceding year, and this in spite of the serious car shortage, frosts, and winds and poor market during part of the season. The Stewart Company lost over 1000 carloads of deciduous fruits on account of lack or cars. Then they voluntarily sacrificed the handling and commissions on several hundred cars of Oregon pears which they had under contract, and advised the growers to sell cannies, when Eastern markets did not promise as good returns to hite growers. The same thing was done on several hundred cars California peaches. This is a fixed policy of the company, and several thousand growers on the coast like this kind of true cooperation.
