Newspaper Page TextMEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, BEDFORD, OREGON, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1933. PAGE TITREE E IN CITRUS BELT California Shipments Only Five Per Cent Less In Vol ume This Year Than Last $52,238,077 Shippers. LOb .ANGELES (8pl. With results only 6 per cent less In volume and 13 per cent lew In returns than in 1933, the California citrus Industry was able to sell 73,383 carloads ot or anges, lemons and grapefruit for an f o. b- return of 68 million dollars. according to the annual report of Paul 3. Armstrong, general manager of the California Fruit Growers Ex change, the 1 year old cooperative marketing group that has gained world-wide renown and now markets three-fourths of the California and Arizona citrus crops. C. C. Teague was re-elected president. The total shipments comprised 68, 866 oars or oranges, 1,703 cars of grapefruit and 14,813 cars of lemons. Shipments through the Exchange equalled 41,619 cars of oranges, 1,225 cars of grapefruit and 13,235 cars of lemons, totaling 56,079 cars and bring ing returns to Exchange shippers f. o. b. cars or $52,238,077. Might Hare Been More "Had the return per box on fruit sold through non-exchange facilities averaged the same as on Exchange fruit, returns to California and Ari zona for the entire crop would have been $68,509,735, and the delivered value of the crop $106,321,676, of which $37,811,942 represents freight and refrigeration," -says Mr. Arm strong. Some reduction In freight rates and refrigeration charges were obtained during the year. Railway rates, bow- ever, are still 34.6 per cent above pre-war level, and constitute too large a. percentage of the selling price of the fruit, the report charges. Nego-. tlatlons with steamship lines brought a continuance of emergency rate on export shipments to Great Britain and European ports. "Despite chaotic financial and busi ness conditions. tthe Exchange placed every emphasis on the continuation of doing business with established trade in the belief that difficulties would be satisfactorily adjusted. This was amply justified by final results, and to the credit of the trade It must be said that while losses to the Ex change were somewhat greater than in more normal times, they were re markably small under the business conditions prevailing." Credit Loss Small He then points to a charge-off for the season from uncollected accounts of only $14,805. or 3-100 of 1 per cent of the net returns. Of this amount more than 70 per cent Is in frozen deposits In closed national banks, from which further salvage is expected. With aggregate returns of one billion three hundred million dollars to Exchange shippers during the last 29 years, credit losses have equaled but 87-10,000 of 1 per cent of f. o. b. returns. Only lemons made a compensatory return per acre to the producer, the other varieties selling at or below the cost of production to the average grower, according to the report. "The fact that such a large vol ume of fruit could be marketed at any price with so great a proportion of the population unemployed and in need of the more substantial necessi ties of life, and the rest of the popu lation with their lessened purchasing power further reduced by heavy tax and relief obligations, speaks well for the stability of the industry," declares Mr. Armstrong. More Advertising Needed Need for increasing the already ef fective Sunklst advertising program is seen in the reference the report makes to the repeal of prohibition and to the competitive progress made by canners of tomato Juice and pine aoole lulce. Newspapers, magazines, outdoor and street car advertising kept the super ' loritles of California citrus fruits and their many healthful uses con stantly before the American public. Merchandising work with the retail and wholesale trade included placing 35.000 fruit displays and distributing 520.000 pieces of display material. Al-, though sale of extracting devices was the lightest In years, 131.910 Sunklst extractors and hand reamers weie sold. More than 80 per cent of all commercial Juice extractors in use are the Sunklst machines, the report dis closes. More than three million pieces of literature were sent to teachers, physicians, dentists and health work ers. Pifty-four foreign countries receiv ed over one million boxes of Exchange oranges, lemons and grapefruit last year. Exchange shipments through the Panama Canal to the Atlr ,1c coast ports totaled more than 500,000 boxes of oranges and lemons. Mr. Armstrong believes the oppor tunity arises under the Agricultural Adjustment Act to formulate a sound marketing program for the ettrus in dustry as ft whole, not only in Cali fornia, but in other producing state as well.

Mrs. Amle and Miss Amanda Johnson are workers In the Unevangelized Tribes Mis sion and are touring the Pacific coast and telling of this work. Mrs. Amle has spent nine years among the tribes of the Belgian Congo, the territory traversed and explored by Henry M. Stanley. The port is at Matadl at the mouth oi the Congo river and to their mis sion located several hundred miles inland and south of the equator there are good automobile roads. The tribes served by this mission have never been evangelized in any way, and the first duty of the Christian Is to learn the language and trans late the Scriptures for them. This mission Is undenominational and is not connected with any board and carries on Its work entirely in faith that the Lord will supply all needs, Mrs. Amle stated. Miss Johnson was formerly a high school teacher near Chicago, and will experience her first field work when she makes the trip early in the year. The greatest lesson learned by thta mission in its work Is the neces sity to evangelize these people be fore education is offered to them, the speakers stated. Mrs. Ellen Doran and Miss Joyce Doran sang "Speed Away on Thy Mission of Light." Tuesday evening, November 31, Mrs. Warner will lead the lesson In Jeremiah, O. S. C.

It has caused a 40 per cent reduction In the issuance of California marriage licenses in this county, so far this year. Tills year up to November 17. but 87 licenses have been issued to Cali fornia couples. Last year for the same period, 213 California licenses were is sued, a decrease of 126. The count was made from the residences of the grooms. For the same period issuance of Oregon licenses shows an Increase. This year 258 licenses have been Is sued to date. Last year, the total to November 17 was 220. The Oregon "gin" marriage la went into effect last January, after passage by the legislature, and ap proval at the polls by the voters.
