BEYSCHLAG REPORTS ON CITRUS
INSTITUTE HELD AT SANTA ANA

Frank G. Beysehlag. farm adyi-
sor, has returned from the citrus
institute held Saturday in Santa
Ana for growers of Southern Cali
fornia. j. E. Harshman, chairman
of the farm bureau citrus depart
ment and Dan Scott and Emil
Steiner, local growers. were also
present.
Beyschlag states that in his
opinion the talk by C. B. Hutchin-
son, dean of the college of agricul-
ture. University of California, was
the outstanding one on the pro-
gram.
In his general views Hutchinson
expressed opinions similar to those
of Henry A. Wallace, secretary of
agriculture, stating that the Uni
ted States must cooperate with
other countries in opening world
markets for agriculture.
He pointed out that while ex-
ports may not be large, they are
essential safety valves for the mar
keting of produce, and need to be
maintained as places for putting
excess agricultural products. 9th
erwise, he declared, it will be nee
essary to curtail production to meet
the domestic demand
Dean Hutchinson expressed the
opinion that progress has been made
in reducing the huge surplus, the
drought and the AAA regulations
together working to eliminate these
surpluses. The ground gained must
be kept and foreign markets must
be obtained.
Orange Consumption Grows
Paul Armstrong of the California
Imperial Valley press., 1935-06-18

Fruit Growers exchange gave en-
couraging information, saying that
the consumption of oranges had
increased 81 per cent since the be-
ginning OF the depression in keep
ing with the increase in production.
He urged independent growers and
shippers to contribute to an ad-
vertising campaign of their own to
increase the consumption Of citrus.
Summer grapefruit and Valen-
cias face increased foreign demand
since the cold winter in Spain
caused considerable damage to the
citrus crop there, and the same
cold weather in other parts has cut
down the European deciduous fruit
and berry crops so that they are
needing citrus to replace them.
Edison Abel, secretary of the Cal
ifornia pro-rate commission, talk
ed on legislation Just passed which
will strengthen the pro-rate act
making it more equitable for the
growers.
New practices in citri-eulture
were described by Harold Wahl-
berg. farm advisor for Orange
county. who pointed out the
changes that have taken place in
the past 10 years. Irrigation is now
based on soil moisture conditions,
fertilization practices place empha-
sis on quality. bulky organic and
nitrogen fertilizers being prefer
red. while pruning is less heavy
than formerly.
Considerable time was devoted to
pest control but as there problems
do not confront local growers they
proved less interesting
