RECORD YEAR IN CITRUS

 PHOENIX, Dec 6.-With the sea son more than half gone and every indication pointing toward a record year in citrus history in Arizona, the Arizona Orange association is ship ping on an average of three cars Of oranges and grapefruit each day. Al ready nearly 70 cars have been shipped by the association. which in- cludes a majority of the orange and citrus growers in the valley, and the seasons output will run close to 15O cars.
 Probably the most important fea- ture of the season, however. is the fact that at last Arizona oranges and grapefruit are coming into their own as Americas best, and are finding recognition as such in every part of the country The Arizona product is receiving preference over the famed California crop in Los Angeles and San Francisco, and is dominating the entire coast market. as we'll as middle western markets.
 The first car of Arizona fruit was shipped by the orange association October 29, and ever since that time there has been ceaseless activity.
