of household matters are discussed as
how to get rid of the ants and what
is the best remedy for that worst Of
all pests-the woodbug; also the
greed and iniquity of the landlords
for those who have to pay rent. 9th
ers who happen to be in the renting
class tell of the terrible ruin of de-
structiveness of their tenants and
likely the cost of living; the narrow
ness of the ladies' skirts; the thiev-
ing of the laundress-will come in
for a share of the discussions. No
body seems to really have had a good
time. Nobody has said anything in
teresting or worth while. Nothing has
been said that was uplifting or very
helpful and so everybody is much re-
lieved when the time comes for the
party to break up. All depart with a
feeling deep down in their hearts fol

dividuals that made up the party, hui

CALIFORNIA HAS SHORT CROP
CONSIDERABLY BELOW NORMAL

Next seasons crop OF navel oranges |
in California is reported to be con-
siderably less than earlier estimated.
Heavy droppage in many sections is
said to be responsible for this.
Florida growers for time were
worried at the reported bumper crop
in California which might contend
against their own product in the
northern markets. However, they are
finding reason to feel much easier
over the prospects as later reports
from California come in. Not only
does it appear that there will not be
big crop of navels in California, but
apparently it is going to be consid-
cradle below normal.
"In place of the 81 per cent nor
NAL crop as reported by the bureau
OF crop estimates for Juno ex-
perienced field men in Los Angeles
state there will be barely, 60 per
cent, possibly less" This is the
statement made in recent issue OF
The Produce News of New York.
That paper further says:
"That tho opening price will range
much higher than in other years is
certain. There are only a limited
number of cars remaining to come
cut of northern California and com.
paratively few out of the central dis
trict.
reports state that in many or
chards one can count the oranges or
} a block of ten trees, and can quickly
see that the June drop has been fal
heavier than has been given out from
official sources. In some Of the or
! chards it is said that the ground il
