Experts Praise
Grapefruit in
Imperial Valley

Even though last year was the
peak of the grapefruit industry in
Imperial Valley, it is indicated that
more nitrogen is needed in fertiliz-
ing if the best results are to be
obtained. it was brought out at a
meeting of grapefruit growers in
FL Centre Tuesday night.
Wallace Sullivan. extension spec
ialist in farm management, and
Clark Johnston. citrus specialist, told
growers that theii ihree-year study
of the valley grapefruit industry
indicated this need,
They plan, however, to continue
their studies.
There is little chance that phos-
phoruS will do any good in increas-
inc the Yields" Johnston said. Our
tests in the vaiiey show that the
best results are obtained from
chemical nitrogen"
WARN ON NEW GROVES
They agreed that this is no time
to plant groves, They declared 1t
is poor policy to plant on a high
market and have the groves come
into bearing on a low one. Johnston
said 10000 acres of new citrus have
teen planted in Florida and Texas
and this is expected TO reach the
lO0,00O-acre mark soon. They an
ticipate this will flood the market
in a few years and send grapefruit
prices sharply downward.
Their survey showed that grape
fruit yields and production costs are
low in Imperial Valley and quality
is good.
STUDIED Is GROVES
They included Is groves in their
study. representing 37l acres for the
1943-l944 season. In general the
crop was the most profitable in
many years. The seven best groves
in the study showed an average
net profit of $238.26 an acre. The
eight low ones showed an average
net profit of S57.57 an acre. The best
grove studied showed net profit of
S342.67 an acre.
The best grove, IA acres in extent,
had an average yield of 642 field
boxes to the acre tabout As pounds

average of all groves studied was

II is apparent from official

not done too well this season.
Harold Newhouser of the

handler in the league since
Thornton Lee OF the White SoN

To date, Newhouser has
pitched excellent ball--better

matter of fact, his dismal rec
