COME STARTLING FIGURES

- G. Harold Powell, manager Of the
california Fruit Growers Exchange,
has laid before the congressional COM
sittee now studying the tariff some
very pertinent figures, among other
facts giving the following regarding
labor conditions in Valencia, Spain:
In the spring Of 1911 orange pick
er5 We're paid from 80 to 10 cents a

boys who helped in carrying the fruit.
> TO 20 cents; women wrappers, Is
cents: women graders. 30 cents: WO-
men packers. 20 to 80 cents: carpen-
ters. for making boxes, 90 cents; a
foreman in a large packing house, 81,
and ordinary mans labor in the packing
houses. 10 to 80 cents a day Mr.
Frazer, the American consul at Valen-
sia, estimates the average wages Oi
aieu at 80 cents and women at 20
cents, and states that in the routine
agricultural operations, such as prun-
mg, irrigatng. fertiliZing, etc, the
amount Of work accomplished is prob
ably at least equal to the average in
California.
II is certainly evident from these
figures that the lemon growers Of
California cannot but suffer from com
petition with such conditions, and this
Is made more manifest from The fur
iher statement that the freight rate
from Valencia to New York. is 30 cents
against 81 cents flJm California 10
New York. He figures the average
present tariff Of sf02 a box as about
equaIizing the cost Of laying down the
fruit in New York.
That such conditions should call for
Z protective tariff is certain, and yet
me Press does not believe that a mod
ifIoatIon Of the present tariff Of 4 "

riHed to believe there are sections Of
Southern California where the com
DDn cotton might be advanta-eously
groWm, though it Is not a crop that
brings ample returns on an average
under irrigation. The cotton reaches
deeper into the soil for moisture than
barley. and if it can be made to pro-
dnce third Of a bale per acre without
irrigation it should pay $50 to $25 an
acre, and with thorough soil prepara-
lion and cultivation it should do twice

California may yet. aside from I'm

there should be an opportunity for cot
