an iinportnnt whipping point of n
buying concern. "Tho simple fact in
that tho cxcliatiKQ handles ornngex
anil IcinoiiH nt cost; wliilu it' wo can't
got a profit on them thuro'ti no use
In our doing bnwinctH."
Ah to how much of tho remaining
10 per cent of tho citrun crop tho
oxcliatiKo may finnlly nlmorh, no one
could venturo a prophecy. "1 think
homo competition in a pretty good
tiling in thiti lniniiiesa," waid .Mr.
Woodford, tho exchange iiinnngor.
Wliilu tho oxchnngo dntcH from
3805, tlioro woro 17 monthn, from
April, 1003, to September, 1001, dur
ing which tho marketing of its mem
burrt' fruit wau not in its hands. Tho
management of that timo different
from tho present ono thought com
petition wuk not ho good a thing in
tho citniH industry. It mndo a com
bination with tho important buying
and forwarding Iiquhum, Tho agency
-tho California Fruit Agoncy did
tho marketing both for tlio exchange
nud for tho buyoru or committmon
hoiiPOH, and tluis controlled 7l pur
cent of tho cro tho oxrhaugo sup
plying about -10 por cent and tho
buying houses about Jill. To tho
uubeiiovurfl in competition thin might
Room almost ideal. Tho rchultH,
however, were anything but ideal.
There in ntill noino dinputo aH to
why. (ho agency failed bo completely.
For ono thing, tlioro wan a rather
unfavorable bouroii; tho fruit gener
ally camo to market in iuforior con
dition. Under any marketing ar
rangement, it in claimed, results to
tho growers would have been unsat
isfactory. Indeed, in 1001, tho av
orago price, froight deducted, foil to
$1,00 a box, and tlioro was an av
erage net loss of .$18 an aero to tho
grower. Hut a dcopor trouble was
that tho agency was composed of in
congruous elomcuts. It was partly
mndo up of cooporating growers,
who wishod fruit marketed nt cost,
nnd partly of private concorns that
woro in tho marketing busiuoss for
profit. Tho ngouoy was abaudouod
aftor 17 months' trial, and tho ox
ohango rosumod its own marketing
iindor a now management. Sinno
then it has stuck to co-operation nud
hns irrown.
Whilo tho big oxohango hnndlos
only 00 por cent of tho crop, 20 to
2f por cent moro is mnrkotod in a
oo-oporntivo way by tho growors
thomaolvcs; At Itodlnnds is tho Mu
tual' Orango Distributors, composod
of half a tloron local associations of
growors. Though it is quite inde
pendent of tho big oxohango, it does
liusinbfls in substantially tho samo
way. At Itivorsido tho National
Ornngo company is n markoting
ngopoy Qf tho Chaso family, who nro
v6ry largo gf6w6r. Thoro are a
nn'nibof of thoso marketing concorns.
Upon tho disruption of tho ngonoy
eovornl of tho largest buying houses
formed tho California Citrus Union,
which now consists of throo of tho
biggost non-oo-oporntivo buyers. Tho
Citrus union and othijr tydepondont,
nqn-Po-oporativo bnyors how handle
frotn IB to 20 por cent oE tho crop.
Thoro is nnothor organisation, tho
Citrus Protootivo league, which is in
tlopehdont of tho vxolmngo, yot
"warmly supported by it. . The league
rcprcNcnts 80 per cent of tho citrus
industry, concerning itcelf largely
with freight rates, tho tariff and like
measures. While co-operating grain
farmers are accumulating grave
doubts about tho highly protcctivu
tariff, co-operating orchard!! seem
to think very well of it ns nearly
(10 per cent of tho lemons used in
tho United Statos still como from
Italy, California furnishing only
about 40 per cent. Tho Icaguo was
instrumental in scouring tho in
creased duty on lemons in tho I'aynu
bill, and is now very busy trying to
keep tho railroads from appropriat
ing tho larger part of tho benefit by

If Your Neighbor Has
Electric Light
and you have not, just step into his house
some evening after dark and compare its light
with your own. Study each point of conve
nience, cleanliness, clearness, beauty carefully,
and then figure out for yourself if it would
not pay you well to have your house wired
for electric light at once.
Electric light today is cheaper and better than
ever before, since the General Electric Com
pany placed its MAZDA lamp on the mar
ket. We have arranged to supply our cus
tomers with the G.E. MAZDA lamps on very
favorable terms. These lamps. ?give two to.
three times as 'much light, as other lamps'
using the same current. '
1( ytut I16U8O is located on any of our dis
tripujiintt lines wo shall be glad to advise you
about having it wired and will give you
more facts about the efficient electric lighting
of your home.
