VALLEY CITRUS
GROWERS HEAR
MARKET DATA

Citrus growers of the valley
heard problems of marketing an
alyzed at two meetings conducted
Tuesday by the agricultural ex-
tension service at which market
mg and economic experts outlined
various phases of the industry.
Dallas w. Snyther. extension
specialist in agricultural economics
discussed the economic situation
# the industry, stating that the
average annual farm price of Cal
ifornia Arizona grapefruit was on
a declining trend from the season
l924-25 to that of 1928 with the
exception of one year, 1929.
Since the season OF 32-'34 the
farm price has been slightly high
er despite larger production.
Production for the next 10 years
is on the upward trend in the
United States he said. citing fig
ures showing that almost one
fifth Of the acreage in this country
is MT OF a bearing age and that
So per cent Of the bearing trees
are less than Il years of age.
Lower Price Seen
Frcm these figures Smyther drew
the conclusions that increasing
production will lead to still lower
prices than those of recent years,
or widespread abandonment OF
acreage. CT drastic control of ship
ments.
In discussing the possibility of
increasing returns through the
control of shipments, the speaker
pointed out that California and
Arizona have geographical adyan-
tages in the form of freight rate
differentials in markets west OF
the Rockies and must look to those
markets for control advantages.
Large crops bring smaller total
returns usually than small crops
and a seasonal total limitation of
shipments in years of large crops
viii improve growers returns.
REGULATION of the flow CT ship
ments TO market regardless OF the
season total was recommended Tor
continuous use as it avoids market
congestion and the resultant price
cutting and loss Of trade conf
dence in the stability OF prices.
w. R. Schoonover, extension
specialist in citrieulture said that
in regard to marketing agreements
and their operation that equaliza-
ton and distribution Of marketing
opportunities amCng growers by
the regulation of shipments IS no
different than the past customs
which are now law regulating
water rights and water distribution.
Problems Brought Up
Representatives of the Califor-
mia Arizona Citrus Marketing
agreement program were also pres
ent. Problems of equitable distri-
button of the burden Of regulation
between individuals were brought
up, local growers expressing disat-
isfaction that they did not have
more direct representation on the
committees controlling the citrus
agreement programs that errors
were made in estimating produc-
tiCa: that fruit could not be held
late in the season on all groves
and that Texas and Florida We're
MT in the program.
AAA representatives felt that
the inequalities between individ-
uals could be remedied in the pres
ent program and that it could be
expanded to other states.
