SMALL CITRUS

A serious situation faces VAL
ley citrus growers In the market

according TO veteran shippers Of
the Valley. who state that the
Marsh seedless deal bids fair to
prove most disastrous unless or
chardists Immediately irrigate
citrus holdings.
To quote one Of the old-time
shippers:
Not until we came TO ship
Marsh seedless did We realize how
small the aizes OF this variety of
fruit was running. We knew the
Duncan variety was running
smaller than usual. but due to the
TACT that the Duncan was the first
on the market. with the conse-
quent early season demand, we
paid little attention to the reasons
underlying the smallnesS of the
fruit.
Large Fruit Rare

t8 create a demand for the larger
sizes, sizes which IL knows the
Valley growers cannot put on the
market now, shippers state.
w. j. Schnurbusch. head Of the
u. 5. weather bureau at Browns
vile, tells the Herald that the
Valley has not had a real soak
ing rain since October 1880 when
8 inches fell during the month.
AS a natural result, the subSoil
does not contain the usual amount
OF moisture, and it is from this
subsoil moisture that the citrus
trees derive their sustenance,
S~chnurbusch states.
Comparative rainfall figures for
the pat four years for September
bear out the theory advanced by
Valley shippers and by Schnur-
busch.
Rainfall Slight
September rainfall as shown by
the weather bureau records has
been as follows: l.43 inches, 1881:
2.80 inches, 1890; 5.16 inches, 1929;
8-9l inches, 1928 and 4.82 inches
in 1927.
July and August rainfall in 1881
compares favorably with the rec
ORD, OF previous years the weather
bureau records show.
However, Sc~hnurbusch raises an
other point which will scy ant
further for the deficiency in SUBJ
soil moisture this year.
Growers have not irrigated
their orchards during the past
SUNNY as often as they did in
previous years and when they have
irrigated. they have not put as
much water on the land as they
used TO-" he states.
This theory Of less irrigation is
born out by the bureau records of

during the past summer months.
