OFFERS NEW PLAN FOR ORCHARD CARE Recently arrived from South Africa, where he was expert advisor to the British government in the establishment of the citrus fruit industry, Raymond Nebelung, son of Max Nebe lung, plans a work which may be of marked importance to the maintenance of the industry in Orange and Southern Los Angeles counties. Nebelung hopes to become superintendent of orchards in the possession of absentee owners, who cannot personally look after them. There are many hundreds of acres of orange and lemon groves so owned. Nebelung would have complete charge of these or as many of them as he could acquire charge of. He would advise when to fumigate, cultivate and irrigate, plant, prune, bud—in fact, superintend all the operations demanded to properly care for a grove. On Wednesday he will speak at the Community Service luncheon in the Elks' clubhouse on his work in South Africa. At present he is looking after the 30-acre grove of his father.
