N I C H O L CALIFORNIA FRUIT MEN MAY COMBINE For several weeks coast centers have been filled with rumors regard lug a new deal now being formed which Is said to be a "community of Interests" In the shipping and mar ketlng of California deciduous and citrus fruits, says the 1'acker. The principal promotors In the propost tlon, it Is learned, are the Dl Giorgio Funning Connolly Interests together with the I'loneer Fruit Co., the Call forulu Fruit Growers' exchange and several other companies. What will come of the proposition or whether It will be brought to a successful head Is not yet known and no one on the Inside will attempt to predict, The Connolly-Fanning people to. gether with Dl (ilorglo are the doiu Inatlng factors of the Karl Fruit Co , anil own the Producers Fruit Co., al most Inclusively. The I'loneer Fruit Co., although a member of the Cali fornia Distributors, Is Itself an Inde pendent organization. To work out this proposition It will be necessary to either start a long string of new auctions through out the country or acquire a number of those ulready running. Such a combination means the control as far as the marketing Is concerned uf perhaps "." per cent of the citrus and deciduous fruit of Cullforulu. The way matters stand now, how ever, there Is uo certainty as to whether the "community of Interest" proposition will come to a succeswful head; there are n great many factions to be satisfied; there are numerous details to be settled upon so that everybody will !e pleased. What at one moment looks like u great big combination the next moment has the appearance of a balloon lO.IHK) feet In the air about to tip over and sink to earth. One thing Is certain, however, the deal is being talked about continu ally not only on the coast, but In al most every auction center In the country and those vitally Interested outsiders do not know just what to expect. The general Impression on the coast Is that a cooperative plan of marketing Is tn-lng sought, the ex pense to be shared proportionately by all concerned, but some of those said to be directly Interested, say they have not yet been convinced that It Is a good thlug.

EXPERT SAYS INFECTION MAY BE SPREAD BY TOOLS A fruit expert cautions orchardlsts that the tools used In cutting out pear blight should lie frequently cleaned and the cut ends of all branches wiped with a sponge soaked In a solution of corrosive sublimate one part to looo quarts of water. The disease can be carried on orchard tools, sucli as cultiva tors, ns well as on pruning tools and Insects.

Harold Powell Is teaching the world how to save millions of dol lars In packing and shipping fruit. "Fruit Is a living 'organism with an allotted span of existence. Harsh handling shorten Its life anil renders It valueless for food." An extract from unj article In the February American follows; "Two general conclusion have been reached by Mr. Powell anil his band of plant specialists with regard to the keeping qualities of fruit in itorage and In transportation: first, that rough mechanical handling in creases greatly the liability of all fruit to disease; and, second, that cooling as quickly as possible after picking prolongs the life of fruit by re tarding the ripening process, which In warm weather goes on more rap Idly off than on the tree. Simple! In one state, California, the losses from decay on oranges alone sometimes ran as high as $1,'00,(XM) lu a single year, and by pre-coollng this loss has been practically eliminated. Another general result of the Investigation Is that fruit may be enhanced In flavor by longer hanging on the tree, and still be shipped over much greater geographical areas than formerly. "Mr. Powell has punctured many popular fallacious theories among them, that apples and some other fruits keep better anil are less liable to disease when picked green; and that fruit removed from storage de cays more quickly than fruit that has been unstored but Is equally ripe and Is held In the same temperature as the first ufter storage. In these matters the whole world was from Missouri, aud has required to be shown by a series of the most elabo rately careful experiments. Then also, in peach-growing localities, In apple-growing regions, In the land where the orange blooms, Mr. Pow ell heard much talk among growers with a smattering of pomology about the Influence of stock, soli, water, fogs, gravity and psychic Influence on the keeping qualities of fruit. They were shown conclusively that the difference lay In the edlclency of the labor, the equip ment and sanitary conditions of the packing houses, and so on. Truly, It 1 the little foxes that spoil the vines. The nail In the barrel or box, nearby piles of decayed fruit to scat ter disease, gravel or twigs In the bottom of a picking box, the use of pointed Instead of blunt clippers, the puncturing stem of a neighboring fruit, the sharp finger nails of a picker, bruises from dropping, dirty, spore-Infested water or a broken wire In a water tank, a protruding screw In a brush, a bolt extending Into a runway, excessive speed of machinery; all these little things have power to wound and are the material causes that give opening to decay In storage and transit and mav transform a fine, beautiful fruit Into a diseased, moldy wreck."
