Horticultural Notes


Keep the sprayer going according
to schedule.
No sweet cherry pollinated with its
own pollen will set any fruit.
Where the first and second sprays
could not be properly applied or If
the curculio is still present. use ar
senate Of lead in the third spray.
Nothing is n greater convenience to
the home than good walks. They save
untold drudgery for the housekeeper.
The root systems of low-headed
trees become more firmly established
In the soil, and thus offer greater
resistance to the wind than the high
headed trees.
For making sprays use only the best
grade of rock or quicklime Where
this cannot be obtained use hydrated
or builders lime one-third more by
weight.

widespread interest in the "c,r,fo-
MIA plan" of cooperative morke,,r,
makes especially timely Department
bulletin 1887. Organization and De-
veiopment of Cooperative CItrus-
fruit Marketing Agency, Just issued
oy the United States Department of
Agriculture. In 1891, when shipments
were little more than 1000 cars
there was an apparent overproductlon
or California citrus fruit. Thirty veors
later crop totaling more than &c 600
cars was marketed successfully. Bull
ietin 1877 describes the growth of the
system Of cooperative marketing that
since 1893 hns taken leading part in
the development OF the California cit-
rus Industry. 1t outlines, also, the
steps by which local associations and
district exchanges became federated In
the California Fruit Growers ex
change.
Historical Account.
brief historical account Is present
ed of the California citrus industry
since the Introduction of orange trees
by the Franciscan monks In lI69. The
conditions causing the practical bank
ruptcy of the industry in the early
ninetles, and the unfortunate alliance
of the exchange with commercial shin
pers in 10000 are other topics dis
cussed In the historical section of the
bulletin.
Considerable space is given to n dis
cussion of the organization and opera
t!on Of the local units that make I'D
the exchange.
Local cooperative associations are
the foundation of the exchange sys-
tem." II Is stated. "The earliest or
ganlzatlons OF this kind preceded the
incorporation Of the exchange by al
most three years. They were created
by the members of community who
considered their marketing problems
ms being, first Of all, local in char
acter."
The organization and functions of
the district exchanges and the various
departments of the California Fruit
Growers exchange are discussed in
detail.
Other Organizations.
An organization for the purchase of
supplies and two by-products compa-
nies have been established by the fed
Grated associations. These organza-
tions are not subsidiary to the Callfor-
mia Fruit Growers exchange. but are
units of the exchange system. The
problems leading up to the organza-
tion of these companies, and the serv-
Ices they perform for the members of
the exchange, make up one section of
the bulletin.
Several pages are devoted to dis
cussion of the economic services of the
exchange, and the fundamental prin-
ciples upon which the organization is
based. The appendix contains the
original organization and marketing
plan adopted in 1893. the bylaws of
the exchange and contracts in force
between the growers and their asso-
Citations, the associations and the dis
trict exchanges and the district ex-
changes and the exchange.
