MARKETING THE
CITRUS FRUIT CROl

The season of 1918 and 1919 will
long be remembered by the orange
and grapefruit growers of Florida as
one of the banner years in thsacitrus
fruit industry.
While the crop was lighter thar
some other seasons the prices have
probably been the best of any in
years. This has set many Of the
growers to thinking seriously about
their fruit and how it was sold and
marketed and many are wondering
now whether or not they did the right
thing for their own good.
Before the close Of 1918. hundreds
of the growers, If not thousands. hal
sold their fruit on the trees to specu-
lators, who have since made several
fortunes off the crops Of the growers.
with little effort on their part. These
growers are now figuring what they
could have gotten out of their fruit
If they had shipped 1t themselves or
through some good marketing organ
ization. One grower we have In mind
sold his fruit for $4,000 on the trees
and the buyer shipped nearly 5000
boxes Of first class fruit, which would
have netted the grower at the very
least So box, with a very good
chance of bringing him SO net If it
had been shipped through the Florida
Citrus Exchange. In any event he
was out from $1,000 to $4,000 by sell
ing 1t on the trees but was saved the
bother and worry of shipping IT him
self.
Many Of the growers who shipped
on consignment netted all the way
from 81 so to SO q box and in some
cases received discouraging reports
of fruit received in bad condition,
market off or congested. etc., and the
profits were small. They also are
studying the matter over seriously
and especially are they studying the
averages received by the Florida Cit
rus Exchange, which have been very
good throughout the entire shipping
season.
The exchange has had a good sea-
son. It will have handled at least
~ per cent of the entire citrus fruit
crop of Florida when the season
closes and that is 8 per cent more
than 1t has ever handled. It could
have handled more the past season
but the officers decided that the ex >
change would pack and ship only the
fruit Of members and only members
that shipped all of their fruit through
the exchange. BY doing this the ex-
change has made itself much stronger
and there is little doubt that the de-
cided action taken will bring many
new members and sub-exchanges into
the fold next season.
The percentage Of fruit handled Is.
still insufficient to enable the ex-,
change to give It's members the best
results but the officers feel that the
organization has gained so strongly
in the past two years and is now in a
position to increase its marketing IA
cilities, that the membership will DO

ing summer and fall and It is hoped
that next, season the percentage can
