"THE EARTH" TELLS OF ORANGE SHOW The earth, for August, a monthly published by the Santa Fe railroad at Topeka, gives the third annual California Orange Show some highly valuable publicity. There are three excellent cuts, below appears the following: Another big event in the history and success of the citrus industry was the California Valencia Orange Show, held at Anaheim, Orange co., May 22 to 30 inclusive. Nine carloads of the Valencias were required to complete the exhibition and the prizes aggregating $5,000 were distributed in addition there were over $1,500 in cubs and trophies. Under the management of Malcolm Fraser, Chamber of Commerce secretary of Anaheim and former New York and London newspaperman, the 3rd annual show surpassed all previous efforts and was both a financial success and commercial. Thousands from all parts of the country attended and saw visualized the wonderful citrus industry, as represented by the Valencia variety. Some 12 years ago only the navel orange was marketed on any commercial basis, and people who liked oranges only thought of eating them around the Christmas holidays. Hence the navel variety, which ripened around the holidays was the popular product of the kind. Through a systematic campaign of education, the Valencia which ripens from March to October and remains for a period of six months to a year on the tree in perfect condition, was introduced and now it is common practice to eat oranges twelve months in the year, which fact has materially added to the development of the industry. It therefore is a big event each year when the vast army of Valencia growers and the bi gpacking houses in the orange belt bring together the wonderful exhibition of the golden fruit. The Anaheim show was done in Egyptian, to use a phase of the present day fashion tendency, and the beauty of the great exposition with its color scheme and atmosphere of the ancient dynasty cannot adequately be described.
