CALLED BACK
columns

In the San Francisco Call we find
fairly considerate review of the citrus
fruit industry in California, particu-
larly in relation to culture in northern
and southern parts OF the state, re-
spectively. The article sets out, how
ever, with an obviously illogical state
ment, ascribed to the state board of
trade. 1t is to the effect that "all Cali
fornia has the same climate and pro-
duction." The state embraces about
six degrees of latitude, and there is
no place on earth where such a range
presents the same climate and produc-
ton.
The aim of the Call is to show, like
all its northern contemporaries, that
the so-called northern citrus belt pro-
duces earlier and rather better oranges
than are produced in the citrus belt
of the southland 1t is true that in the
exceptionally warm valleys of the
northern orange belt, hedged from
ocean breezes by the mountains, Or
anges ripen rather earlier as "A rule,
than they do in the open citrus belt
of the southland. 1t is true, Also that
some excellent oranges are produced
there.
But it is an uphill proposition for
the Call. or any other champion of the
northern orange, to argue that 1t is in
the same class with the southern Or
ange In orange culture as in most
human activities, results speak for
themselves. Now it is a well known
fact that oranges We're grown in the
came a commercial commodity in the
southland. The editor Of the River
side Press, who recently made a close
inspection OF the citrus fruit industry
in the north, says he saw Seeding Or
ange trees bearing fruit in Orovnle
that were thirty-five years old" He
says further 1T seems surprising to
come 700 miles north of Riverside by
rail and find oranges nearly a month
earlier than with us. but the condi-
tions of greater heat in summer and
warmer nights result in developing an
early orange"
But the Florida orange ripens earlier
than any of its kind in California, yet
It is an insignificant factor in the mar
ket compared with the Southern Cali
forna product. Much OF the Florida
fruit is excellent, but climatic eondi-
tions are not favorable to such COM
merclal SUCCESS In orange culture as

THE DOCTORS CRAFT

In letter to The Herald from one
of its lady readers some light is thrown
on the relations of physicians with the
patent medicine business. The writer
Of the letter, in visiting a sick neigh
Dor, was told of a patent medicine that
had been used by the patient with ex-
cellent results. Desiring to obtain a
bottle for her own use, the lady asked
the price and where it was obtainable
the medicine being imported and bear
ing French label The patient had
ordered the preparation on the doctors
prescription, paying seventy-ive cents
for It, on sending to the drug store
for the second bottle, without the pre-
scription, the price was fifty cents. To
explain why the first bottle cost sew
enty-five cents the druggist was
obliged to admit that he added twenty
five cents to be credited to the doctor
justifying the act by saying that it
was customary
1t seems, therefore, that some physi-
clans in addition to their regular
charges for service and their percent
age on compounded Prescriptions, also
reap a revenue of one-third on the
prices of patent medicines that they
recommend. This revenue, in the ag-
gregato, must be immense in Los An
geles, as the practice of recommending
proprietary medicines by doctors is
quite common.
It must require considerable nerve
even for a physician, to filch from q
patient thirtY-thrce per cent added to
the cost of a patent medicine which he
recommends. The names of all the
persons who figure in the incident re-
lated above are in The Herald's pos
| session
