AGENT URGES
Irrigation of Trees
Now Increase Crop,
Alsmeyer Says
Irrigate citrus orchards now.

lrrigate citrus orchards now.
This is the advice OF Henry Ais
rayere, Cameron county agricultural
agent, who says many trees are
showing signs of the approaching
bloom now.
III irrigation Is delayed until aft
er the trees are in blossom many OF
the flowers will drop off and the
size OF the crop will be materially
reduced" Alsmeyer said.
Unless the trees are. watered now
they will not have nearly so many
blooms on them ana this also will
reduce the size Of the crop.
1t Is my opinion that the danger
OF n freeze after this time OF year
IS not so serious rs the certain loss
n fruit production II the trees are
not watered now.
I'm my tours over the county /
find many orchards which are show
ing q serious need of water and il
our next fruit crop ID to be a. large
as II should. the needed moisture
must be applied Immediately"

CAPITAL LURED.
TO BAKING
INDUSTRY
BY MERRYLE s. RUKEYSER
Copyright. 1928. by Universal servics'

BY MERRYLE s. RUKEYSER
Copyright. 1928. BY Universal Service
NEW YORK, May S.--Organized
finance. which once limited itself
TO basic enterprises such as rail-
roads and steel companies, now
adays has more varied taste.
Any demonstration of sustained
consumer demand will attract capi-
tai. Since the war modified capi-
tai has been poured literally into
the baking industry for the first
time. Management for time in
pioneer enterprises in this field
was half-baked. but, gradually con:
6itions have improved. A new
group went into the saddle in the
Continental Baking Company. the
largest enterprise in this field,
less than two years ago, and its
reforms are gradually coming to
be reflected in improved profit
accounts. 81
Economies of Operation
Nj. l.. Marshall, chairman Of
the board of directors, told me
that the Improvement is largely
ascrihable to the economies OF
operation instituted by NJ. l.. Liv-
ingston, Chicago baker, who is
now president and operating head
of the company. Numerous wastes
in bakeries heretofore constituted
leaks which showed up in profits
results
The three other principal bak.
ing combines operate mainly east
Of the Mississippi, but the Cont
mental is seeking to develop along
nationwide lines. 1t has recently
pioneered in adding products Of
the bakeshop to the array OF com.
nodities which lend themselves
to national advertising.
Bread is distributed within a
radius of 100 miles of the widely
scattered plants. and cake within
$50 miles. These baking combines
distribute through chain systems
and also through Independent
grocers. Their chief competition
comes from local bakeries. Home
baking Of bread has already be-
come a lost art in the cities. ac-
cording to Marshall. and in rural
districts mass production bread
is fast displacing the home prod.
act.
Consumption of Bread
In the last 20 years. since
mother did the baking, the per
capita consumption of bread has
fallen off sharply, although within
the last two years this tendency
has been definitely checked.
Among the factors which Marshall
believes operated to cut down con-
sumption are the competition of
better advertised foods, such as
breakfast foods. and the deteriora.
tion of the quality of bread during
the war period, when substitutes
for wheat were introduced.
Marshall believes that an inten-
sified sales and advertising effort,
such as his company has under
taken, will help to re-establish the
consumption of bread. He believes
there is a much greater opportu.
nifty for makers Of bread than for
manufacturers of biscuits, though
he comedies as an offsetting factor
greater competition in the bread
industry
