20 years of Progress in the
California Citrus Industry
A tribute to the marketing efficiency of
the California Fruit Growers Exchange.

~ BOUT 20 years ago many California
Il u citrus growers became alarmed at an ap-
parent over-supply y of citrus fruits They Won
dered whether the California Fruit Growers
Exchange would be equal to the task it faced.
| he annual American consumption of oranges
had remained at 2A dozen per person for
several years. Lemon consumption was sta
tlonary at one dozen per person. Shipments
abroad were almost nil. Prices were only fair
and IN danger of declining. 1t was becoming
more and more difficult to sell the annual crop.
Yet new groves were coming into bearing.
More paintings were being made. Foreign COM
petition IN American markets was keener than
before. Florida was on the verge of great in
crease in citrus production
Truly crisis. A gloomy outlook.
The Exchange, then handling $40 of the
California crop, set about for solution.
1t increased consumer demand through adver-
tislng and concentrated sales promotion.
1t enlarged its membership so that California
shipments could be co-ordinated and more
easily adjusted to supply and demand, thus in
suring consistently higher prices.
1t cut down production costs through cooper4-
tive buying.
1t improved the quality Of its fruit and mar
keted 1t under one brand name-Sunkist-so
that Exchange growers might receive pre-
MUM wherever their fruit was sold.
The Result
oday California citrus production is more
than three times that of 20 years ago. Yet the

The Result

Today California citrus production is more
than three times that of 20 years ago. Yet the
Imperial Valley press., 1928-07-12

prices now received by Exchange Growers are
higher than ever before. American per capita
consumption has been practically doubled. Or
anges, once luxury, are now necessity.
The annual lemon consumption has risen from
one dozen to 4 dozen per person.
Culls are turned into cash through two eff
cient by-products plants.
Through the development and sale of the Sum
kist Electrical Fruit Juice Extractor, a new
market has been created that now absorbs over
5000 carloads of citrus fruits per year.
Foreign sales resistance has been lessened Last
year Exchange growers shipped over 100000
boxes of oranges to Europe alone.
Advertising, backed by standardized products,
has made "Slnkst' the by-word for citrus
fruits

FLAG OF PERU OVER FORTRESS
 ANCIENT |NCAS
Lost Town Is Invaded for First Time Perhaps
 by White Man

LIMA, Peru, Aug. 21. - The Peruvian flag has been hoisted over the fortress at Huaynapicc where ancient warriors of the Inca Empire locked down from the steep mountain retreat and beheld Francisco Pizarro's hand ful of Spanlards conquer their lands some 100 years ago.
 Although it is not known whether the Spaniards ever sue eeeded in penetrating the jungles and climbing the mountain. it is not considered likely, due to the undisturbed order in which the ruins were found. This being true, white men for the first time have set foot on the par ticular part Of the Inca Athaul- pas.
 The vast dominion was first dis covered early this mcnth by men with glasses from distance.
 After three attempts, the ruins were reached. A wide stone stairway. 400 yards long, led to the old stone fortress. The ruins were evidently once thriving city. There are big stone con struetions, many platform dwell ings, characteristic of Inca archi- lecture. There are streets and alleys and other remnants but all are covered by a thick growth.
 A new expedition is being or ganized for the purpose. of cx- amining the ruins.
