new RECORD FOR ORANGES:
SALES TOTAL s30,OOO,OOO
49, ,067 CARS ALREADY SENT TO
EASTERN MARKETS
Lemon Shipments Total 27,062 Cars
1914 to be Greatest Year in the
History of the California
Citrus Industry

u LOS ANGELES, Sept. 29.-The year
1914 will be the greatest in the history
of the California citrus fruit industry.
This was established when figures
submitted by the California Fruit
Growers exchange showed 43,067 cars
of oranges shipped from California to
eastern markets to date. Lemon ship
|ments totaled 27,062 cars.
1t is estimated that the valuation of
the citrus fruit already shipped
amounts to $3O,O00,OO0.
Comparing the shipments thus far
this year, it is shown that the ship
|ments of oranges have broken all rec
lords.
In the corresponding time last year
orange shipments from this state to-
tailed 1853 cars. During the same
time in 1911, the big crop year, ship
ments of oranges totaled 3S,779 car
loads.
Total shipments of oranges to date
from Southern California alone are
ESTIMATED at $4,000 cars, against $4,000
Icars in the same period last year, and
| $4,000 cars in the same time two years
Iago.
At the present time shipments are
|going forward in heavy volume. Or
anges are being shipped east at the
rate of forty cars a day, compared with
seventeen carloads daily last year.
Prices in the east at the present
time are somewhat low. This is di-
|rectly due to the heavy receipts. Most
|sales in the large eastern centers range
from So to $3.50 a box for the fancy
grades.
With the walnut crop, a record
breaker, practically oversold at the
highest prices ever fixed, growers of
walnuts in Southern California are re-
joicing. More than $3,0OO,OOO will be
realized from the crop this year.
With the foreign supply of walnuts
cut off, and the homegrown nuts finer
than ever, the walnut orchardists are
due for the most profitable year in
their history.

CALIFORNIA APPLE SHOW TO
Be HELD IN SAN FRANCISCO
PERFECT FRUIT Being GATHERED FROM ORCHARDS CONTAINING
100000 TREES GROWING IN q COUNTIES OF STATE
Exhibit Open October First and Continue Eleven Days October Eight is
DESIGNATED as Southern California DayEes From Various Sec
ons Of California Show New High Water Mark in Apple Culture

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 29.-Two
million perfect apples are being gath
cred from orchards containing 5,000,-
900 carefully nurtured trees in twenty
one counties of the state for the Cali
fornia Apple show, which will open
October l.
The Forthcoming show will be more
than an exhibit of 100000 perfect ap-
pies gathered from the carefully nur-
tured trees of twenty-one counties. 1t
will be more than a review of an in
dustry's progress. It will be a. show in
which all the colors, lines and curves
that make beauty will be used to dress
commercialism. The story of the
growth of apple culture in the state
will be so splendidly illustrated by
vistas of orchards, moss-hung mosques
and mills, f1owered roofs, cooling foun-
tains and great urns upholding formal
plants, that the picture will hold the
eyes of those who have no interest in
the story.
Arrangements Are Rushed
In big lot at Eighth and Market
streets workmen are making place to
hold all the plans after they have been
worked out to the last detail Out in
side street is a huge shed, in which an
other half-hundred workmen are mold
ing papier mache urns and fountains,
frescos, cornices, animals and the huge
apples which will be piled in a heap
to make the entrance. And in the
twenty-one apple-growing counties of
the state, from Humboldt in the north
to San Diego in the south, experts in
apple culture are going through the
orchards gathering the perfect fruit
from 100000 trees. After the execu-
tives, the workmen, the artists, design
ers and apple growers have finished
their work, the big show will open.
Their work will be done on October 1.
To mark it's completion, many thou
sands will come to San Francisco and
ride up Market street in draped auto
mobiles, throwing apples to the crowds
that line the streets. The doors will
be flung open, and again will be well
coined the. fruit-growing communities
of the state and those interested in
fruit-growing. And they will welcome,
also, great hordes, unnumbered and
uncounted, who are interested in apple

perfection because they are apple con-
sumers.
With what formalities the big show
will be opened has not yet been an
nounced, but Market street will be dec
Grated from the ferry to the tents;
apples will be piled high in the shop
windows, and apple pennants will fly
from all the street cars. For eleven
days thereafter there will be a great
hullabaloo about the California apple.
Many Trees in Bearing
There's a reason why the big yellow
apple and it's consort, the big red ap-
pie, will be paid more attention than
the pampered pets of pedigreed ken
nels or the thoroughbreds of stables.
And the reason is found in the figures
set below, which show the number of
apple trees in California and fix the
high water mark in apple culture in
the state-figures which tell why $780,
900 are expected to visit the big tents
at Eighth and Market; figures never
before published, but which tell story
of progress unparalleled. They are:
