There has been more or less COM
plant during the past week from the
orange men in and about Pasadena
that the oranges are beginning very

qualities. The putting of the ripened
fruit is explained by the officers of
the Pasadena Orange Growers asso-
citation as caused by the rains coming
after a peculiarly long drouth, when
there is little if any irrigation. The
Pasadena Orange Growers association
is now running full force and packing
a very fair grade of fruit and will
continue to pack until the 200 cars,
which the association controls, are
shipped east.
