NOT INDIVIDUAL ENTERPRISE


 No individual, no matter how large his capital, could meet all of these essentials to. success. This can only be done through cooperation. coordination and the establishment of large units.
 Twenty years ago the farmers who were engaged in the citrous fruit industry realized all this and they instituted this voluntary organization. As the economic necessities arose. the organization per fected or worked out the evolutionary step which was necessary to meet the ex- igencies. For instance, as markets were extended it became necessary to secure llanket freight rates. These were estap- lished on the basis of Sl per lOO pounds for lemons and $l15 per 1G0 pounds Tor oranges These rates were acknowi- edged by those in authority in Washing ton and elsewhere to be justified, and they made it possible to ship citrous fruits to Bangor, Me-. for exactly the same rate as is charged for shipment to Denver or Des Moines. for instance.
 As it costs from 5000 to $12O0 per acre for land and for bringing that lana up to the point where it's products can De harvested, IL was dlso IouHu " DS tial that these lands be cultivated all the time-that is to say. all the year rounu. Gradually this voluntary organization was perfected, first through the organization of 15O local organizations, each one or which had it's packing house to Whlch the fruit was brought, graded, packed ana prepared for shipment. It was possible to do this absolutely at cost. Then, again, for business convenience, the l5o local organizations organized IT district ex- changes which operate for the local ex- changes at cost.

ALL ROOSEVELTS
 WOULD GO TO WAR

Oyster Bay, N. r., April 26.-(Special.) If the United States goes to war with Germany the Roosevelts will go--all of them. The colonel said so today in a statement called forth by the recent ut terances, Stand by the President but he spoke for the men who would have to do the fighting and who would die by thousands because of the countrys un- preparedness. Colonel Roosevelt said:
 Men are saying that they stand be- hind the President or by the President. wish to speak for the men who, in the event of war. will stand in front of the President and between him and the for

eign enemy, and who, therefore, will stand between danger and the men who are behind or beside the President.
 These are the men who will go to the war at once if there is war with Ger many, or with any other great power. and who feel as I do, that we would far rather go to war unprepared than see our women and children murdered with impunity, and the honor of the flag stained.
 "But it is a wicked thing that the folly of our rulers in obeying the be- nests of the peace-at-any-pric people and the apostles of anti-preparedres should make the sacrifice either useless CT else needlessly and appaliingly waste full in blood.
 'In the event of such war my four sons will go, and one and perhaps both of my sons-in-law; I will go myself; the young knfolk and friends of my sons will go; so my words are spoken with my eyes open

NO CAPITAL STOCK

The aSSOclaClOn mus ltSciI III iNOiy Soiii- petition with Sicily for the markets where lemons are sold. It also is Tn strenuous competition with Florida, although only for four months. One of the evolutionary steps taken by the organization was to perfect the cultivation of citrous fruits so that they could be harvested the year round. whereby entailing no cold storage propositions. The naval orange is har- vested from November to June, lemons are harvested every month in the year, while the Valencia orange, which is a summer fruit, is harvested from May to November. The cultivation of the Valen- cia orange is comparatively recent un- dertaking. It has justified completely the undertaking, and now there are shipped from California approximately 14.000 car loads of these oranges
 The association has worked cut the proposition of free competition. In all it's markets competition of this kind pre- vails. Each carload in each market sells on it's own merits. In the larger mar kets such as New York, St. Louis, Pitts burg, Detroit and Minneapolis, the car loads are sold at auction; i'll the smaller markets, usually by private sale. and the agreEate for the year is about 30 per cent handled by auction sale and 70 per cent handled by private sale.
 In the year 1916 the citrous fruits culti- vated in California will probably yield in money between 900 and S90, .O00 and the citrous fruit growers will them selves receive not quite 50 per cent of this amount Never in the palmy days of gold mining in California did the mines in a single year produce so much new wealth as the citrous harvests do.

 FROM WHOLE WORLD
Is Probably One of the Most Perfect Examples of Thorough Organ ization to Be Found in the United States
By HOLLAND

New York, April 26.-(Special. )-shortly after the return of George w. Perkins from his visit last summer to the expo sitions at San Francisco and San Diego he said that, wonderful as were these ex- positions nevertheless he learned some thing of development in California which, from many points of view, sur passed in importance and as an object lesson any or all of the exhibits that were displayed at the expositions. There was a revelation made to him of the methods adopted, developed and pursued by the California Fruit Growers ex- change. It seemed to him that this rep resented the highest development of the economic principle which is the basis of large industrial organizations, and furthermore, furnishes, perhaps, the best object lesson for teaching the value of cooperation, coordination and highly perfected organization
 To illustrate what this voluntary asso- citation now accomplishes MT. Perkins referred to the fact that there is har- vested each year in California and shipped thence to all parts of the United States, even as far east as Portland, Me, the products of the citrous fruit farms
 in perfect condition, marketed at such prices as made it available even to those whose incomes are small
 The development of the Fruit Growers exchange ip California was said yesterday by G. Harold Powell, the general man. ager, who was in New York for few hours, to have been an evolution. This evolution was step by step in obedience to economic necessity. There is perhaps no industry which so thoroughly reflects that quality sometimes called "higf power as does the citrous fruit industry In the first place. it must seek for mar kets 5000 miles distant from the farms and 2500 miles from the center of distribu- tion In the next place. there are high freight rates. Then. again, there is a perishable commodity to deal with Then, too, there is the cost of irrigation and of the land and other highly arti- ficial factors which the cultivation o1 these fruits entails.
