Imperial Valley press., 1926-03-06
BY E. L. GARTHWAITE
(Farm Advisor, Agricultural Exten-
sion Service)

OF the greatest possible import
ancc to the people of Imperial Val
ley. il appears to me, is the recent
statement by the bureau of agricul-
tural economies of the United State
department of agriculture that,
the outlook for the producers of
citrus fruits is not rcassuring. No
further paintings should be made
without careful consideration of cX-
iSting facts regarding acrcagcs and
and production.
In Florida only 7S per cent of
the grapefruit trees have reached
hearing age, and less than two
thirds of the bearing trees have
reached full production. In Texas
there rs Il large acrcagcN cover 10000
acres in grapefruit not vet in bear
ing and many new trees are being
set out this year. Taking the coun-
try as a whole the prospect for the
next few years is for very heavy
increase in production of oranges
and grapefruit with downward
trend in prices. This trend seems
likely, even though there may be
some increase in per capita cosump'
tion and in spite of some reductions

Outlook For Grapefruit Crops
Is Discussed by Farm Advisor

i'll Florida acreage caused by tho
subdivision and neglect of groves
in the recent real estate activities.
$50 to 400 Acres Here
There are at the present time in
Imperial county $50 to 400 acres Of
bearing grapefruit. and over ten
times that amount of non-bcaring
trees. Local and outside nursery
men are selling thousands of trees
for this years planting. Estimates
for the 1926 planting have varied
from 1900 to 5000 acres, which will,
by this fall, mean somewhere be-
tween five and eight thousand acres
of non bearing trees coming into pro
duction in the next three to six
years.
Robert w. Hodgson, in charge of
the division of citriculturc of the
University Of California, made a
comprehensive survey of the grape
fruit industry in the fall of 1924
and pointed out to Imperial Valley
growers at that time that the pro
duction of grapefruit in the United
States, had increased more than SOC
per cent during the past five years
and that the acreage had increased
tremendously the non bearing acre
age in Texas alone being 90 times
as large rs the bearing acreage.

WIDE RANGE OF

This is the time of year when Cali
fornians who are motorists, can en-
JOY every sort of weather. climate
and seasonai sports they care for.
Snow and snow sports are avail
able on the mountains, warm sun

in Southern California at least, to

green from the boutiful winter rain,
is mass of velvety green carpet
and beautiful blossoming trees.
These are the things that put the
direct urge Of motoriag in every
human heart, according to Ford
Smith. local manager for W. L..

''Thosc who wish, may have their

exceptional quality of our grape
fruit can deny that there is consid
cradle room for increase III the
present amount of consumption.
just how successful Imperial Valley
growers are going to be in marketing
the product from 5000 or more acres
is, however, Il problem that merits
the deepest consideration not only
of the present growers, but also OF
intending planters. The inability
to profitably market the produce
from this large acreage would create
a financial condition in the valley
that would stand second only to the
dark days of 1921 and 1922. The
seriousness of the situation, already
apparent to many of the older grow
crs, should be fully realized by
bankers and business men as well
as by farmers.
Arrange Special Meets
In order to give every farmer and
business man in Imperial Valley an
opportunity of learning just exact
ly what is the present situation in
regard to grapefruit acrcagcs, both
bearing and nonbcaring, in regard
to shipments, prices amd forecasts,
two special evening meetings have
been arranged for Wednesday and
Thursday of next week., The We'd

| ing this information. The Thursday
night meeting will be held in the
Brawley high school auditorium
Both meetings will start promptly
at 1880 p. m.
Prof. Il. w. Hodgson will discus,
at that time the results of his re
cent exhaustive survey of the grape
fruit industry in the entire United
States including Imperial Valley
California, Arizona, Texas, Florid,
and the Isle of Pines. The title o

Despite the most ella b0rate

fresh trade winds blowing in from

warmth and vigor of the sun.
The Sun Of Civilization
The entire record of Mans cul-
ture, the very rise and develop
ment of civilization, is inseparab bly,
linked with the lifegiving warmth
and radiance of the sun. The ear
liest social organizations in his
tory were the Egyptian and
Sumerian civilizations which arose
more than fifty centuries ago in
the sun-swept valleys of the Nile
and the Tisris- -Euphrates. The
glory that was Greece and the
grandeur that was Rome We're
achieved beneath glowing Mediter-
ranean skies. Even today the
elaborate fabric of European cul-
ture is confined To those attitudes
In which the heat of the sun gives
life to mind and body. In the
bleak Arctic wildernesses, thought,
action, and life itself dwindle and
die away.
This close relationship between
the influence of the sun and the
rise of intellectual systems has
had no more striking exempliica-
ton than that OF The Greek cul-
ture. Climate bore an important
part in the development of the so,
cial and economic life of Greece.

winds, and temperate warmth
