regulations of the department are
such that it will be useless to make
any recommendation for extension OF
the shipping season unless they are
removed
Growers Concerned
Citrus fruit growers throughou,
the entire Valley are watching the
situation with great concern. With
less than half the citrus truit crop
marketed, il will lie necessary to
dump the remainder on the market
IN four or five weeks unless the ex-
tension 10 April ! Is granted, they
state. Shippers predict that II the
extension Is granted fruit prices will
advance 25 cents 20 80 cents per box
as soon as the announcement Is
made.
The receivers know we must get
rid OF the fruit before March i, I'M
der the present regulations" a Valley
shipper said. They are not going to
bid a good price for fruit which tnes
know will be forced onto the mar
-st. ! am confident that unless tnu
extension is granted there will be
practically no advance in present
prices until after March l. IL anoth-
er month is given Us, | believe the
major part of the fruit can be ois-
posed of at a profitable figure"
Growers express the opinion that
IL an extension TO April ] can be
secured this year, another extension
10 May / can be secured IN 1851, pro-
yiding the Valley c~o-operates with
the department IN eliminating sec
ondary host fruit trees and MAINTAIN
ing orchards in proper condition.
They point out that with the heavier
PRODUCTION of the 1929-30 season, the
extension TO May l will be necessary
10 avoid dumping" and that II Is
very essential that every interest IN
the Valley come to the aid OF the
and cooperate in the clean
a. demanded BY the federal depart
ment.
II greatly appreciate the cooper
alton that mas been EXTENDED, by All
Valley interests and l sincerely nope
will be in position to forward the
recommendations and a general re-
view Of the situation TO the depart
ment the first Of next week. hoidale
said. II realize that many people
have made sacrifices, and we APP
preciate the willingness displayed TO
come 10 the rescue Of the citrus in
dustry. Many of the communities
have made the cleanup of secondary
host fruit trees 100 per cent, and /
am confident that those who thus Tar
have failed TO cooperate will see the
necessity Of joining In this general
cleanup. IL is unfortunate that they
should be opposed to it, but am con.
fident their better judgment will
~prevail and they will be willing TO
make the same sacrifices that hun
dreds Of others have made for the
good of the citrus fruit industry"
Two parties of inspectors were
completing work in Brownsville Sat
urday. and reported that the city Is
almost 100 per cent.
