Average Orange
Prices to Equal
Postwar Days

Average orange prices are un-
likely to equal those of the post
war decade for some years to come
because of rising world production,
it is pointed out in the 1887 Agri-
cultural Outlook of the Agricultural
Extension Service, University of
California, just issued. California
orange growers must look mainly
to the domestic market to dispose
of increased production.
The tendency over the next 10
years will be for summer orange
production to approach or surpass
winter oranges in volume, Califor-
mia now has about $1,000 acres of
bearing winter orange trees, while
Florida has about 106,500. Only
13 per cent of this California bear
ing acreage is not yet in full pro-
duction, but almost one half of that
of Florida and SO per cent of the
Texas acreage is yet to reach its
full volume.
Regulated shipments out of the
state have helped the California
orange market in the past. If the
same regulations are put into eff
feet for Florida, both states will
benefit. Likewise, anticipated bet
terment of consumer demand should
materially improve winter orange
prices in 1861. With the existing
acreage situation, however, a sur
plus of winter oranges may be ex-
pected for many years to come.
The Spanish civil war may de-
crease competition for Calf fSrnla
winter oranges in world mafEets
and the small apple crop may help
support the local market in the
present season. But the long term
view is not so optimistic.
Likewise a strongly rising trend
in summer orange production has
set in. The 1887 Valencia crop
prospect is n per cent of normal,
as compared with 65 per cent in
1896. Florida, Texas and Arizona
are now marketing as continuously
during the summer months as the
California growers. Nevertheless,
there is an increasing tendency to
spread such shipments from the
first named states oyer longer
period.

Butter-Grading
Service Growing
More Popular

The growing popularity of the
butter grading service Of the Bu-
reau of Agricultural Economics is
revealed by inspection figures COW
ering the year ended June 30, 1886.
More than 242,00O,00O pounds of
creamery butter was graded for
quality during this period, an in
crease of nearly 10 per cent over
the preceding year.
The service was extended during
the year to number of shipping
points in Minnesota, Iowa, and
Illinois. This increased to II, the
number Of places over the country
where manufacturers may have
butter certified as to government
grade by Federal-State graders. A
fee for the service is paid by manu-
facturers
Butter graded last year was about
l5 per cent of the total creamery
butter production in the United
States, and about 40 per cent of all
butter of 80 and SO score quality
Total production of 80 and SO score
butter is estimated at about 500,-
100000 pounds a year.
In the last 3 years there has
been an increase of nearly 33 1-3
per cent in the quantity of butter
graded, an increase which has in
cluded a large quantity of butter
OF " and SO score for packaging
In cartons or in rolls, with certifi-
Gates of quality inserted in the
cartons or printed on the quarter
pound or the l pound parchment
wrappers. This grading and stamp
ing service has been an important
factor in inducing producers to i'm
prove the quality of butter, bureau
officials believe.

points of the new plan are:
l. No provision that the money
be spent within a month or any
specified time.
z. Both husband and wife to re-
ceive the 500 pension, if quail
fled.
3. Payment of the pension with
out requiring the receiver to take
a pauper's oath or any similar
declaration.
THE Townsend proposal of 5000
month will never be the law
OF the United States,' McGroarty
declared. "Once we understand
that we will be in a better posi-
tlon to win an old age pension.
Il believe we stand good chance
under this new plan. But remem-
Der, if it doesn't come tomorrow,
1t will come some other day.
Eventually we will win"
McGroarty deplored the split in
the ranks Of the original old age
pension movement. He said he was
convinced the sum asked in the
townsend proposal was too great.

partment of Agriculture in the Ter
ritory and has held both positions
since that time. Mr.. Flory las put
80 years in the Forest Service, en-
tering the service in Orting, WASH,
in 1906. He later became an assist
ant I'M the Portland, Ore, office and
later was promoted to his Alaska po-
sition. His present change is inter-
preted as a reward for his long and
faithful years of service and he has

80 Is Out of Way, But
NO,u It's CON to '388''
BY BYRON PRICE
Chief of Bureau, The Associated
Press, Washington

The campaign is over but cleo
ton day does not mean an end to
politics. Even though the opposing
forces rest momentarily on their
arms, no experienced politician ex-
poets to hear any talk of surrender
Instead, the eyes of the commend
ers already are turning toward 1898
and 1940
The currents of this Presidential
year have run too deep and strong
to be stilled suddenly. Hatred and
hero worship are among the most
enduring of human emotions, and
both have been manifest in abund-
ant measure in 1886. That they will
continue to disturb and embitter
public affairs can be doubted by no
one.
On the Democratic side the verdict
of November has found Mr. Roose-
welt and his colleagues mid-stream
in their endeavor to turn the party
more decisively toward liberalism.
The job is only partially done.
Among the Republicans is appar-
ent a half-crystalized determination
TO rebuild party lines SO that they
will stand solidly and teranally
against most of the things Mr..
Roosevelt is advocating
And the evidence is clear now that,
entirely aside from the electoral col
lege lewiston of power, each party
has enlisted the almost jealous sup
port of very large numbers of voters
down in the ranks Apparently
these enlistments are for the dura-
ton of the war, no less.

Only Brief Interim

In the activity of the central or
ganization Of the two parties some
post-election pause is inevitable.
The stalwarts on both sides are
weary from the unremitting exer-
tions of the past few months, and
a little dazed from excitement.
They are short of temper with one
another, within the same camp, as
result of animosities which have
sprung up in the heat of battle
1t is not the moment for further
high-pressure effort
But the interim of rest and reflec-
ton is unlikely to last very long
In this respect the present situa-
ton gives the impression of def
mite undercover tensity, of lasting
quality. Almost within weeks, the
practical politicians expect to see
the building of party policies which
look toward the next election.
The coming session of Congress
will provide an excellent forum fol-
the opening skirmishes of renewed
battle. Most of the major issues
taxation, tariffs, relief, farm and
lending and many others-will come
up automatically for congressional
review, either through expirations
of old statutes or otherwise. The
final prediction emergence of So
cial security as topic of intense
dispute tickets that subject too, fol-
probable attention at the coming
session.
