LOS ANGELES, Calif., April 20.
Present abnormal prices of Cali
fornia navel oranges are explain
ed, in recent figures complied by
crop authorities. These figures
show that only fifteen per cent of
the normal navel crop of California
came to maturity as a result of the
heat wave last June, the most de
structive in thirty years. As a
result of the unusual heat, eighty
five per cent of the young navel
fruit -shriveled and dropped from
the trees. The natural consequence
has been larger oranges and a sup
ply far belo.w the demand and there
fore higher than usunj prices.
The truth Is that there has not
been anywhere near a normal sup
ply of California oranges since the
shiprlng season opened last Novem
ber. They will not be on the mar
ket In abundance until the'new
shipping season opens in May.
The summer crop of California
Valencia oranges promises to bo
