Though the Citrus Fruit Exchange never controlled more than half the product, it was able to double the return per box to growers immediately after its organization by correcting the methods of its rival buyers and it has exerted a strong influence ever since in correcting avuses, in extending distribution, in re- ducing fixed charges; in short, it may be said to have rescued the California citrus | fruit interest from collapse and during the present year it has formed a merger with rival buyvers to prevent gluts and losses in Eastern markets, an example which was quickly followed by those handling the Easiern shipment of decidu ous fruits. Its direct value and its indi rect value in showing fruit growers their power when working together are both | inestimable, ard yet it never controlled more than half the crop. . LESSON OF FAILURE. “The Raisin Growers’ Association, im- mediately upon its organization, secured | control of about % per cent of the raisin | output and fixed the prices at figures | which ylelded a fair profit to the grow- | ers, sold the year's crop, cleared away a considerable carry-over from the previous year and brought a new era of prosperity | irto the Fresno and Kings county dlstrlclI of the San Joaquin Valley, enabling grow- ers to pay off mortgages and have a good cupply of ready money besides. It has | worked five years or more, never reach: ing the permanency and perfection of or- ganization which its most ambitious pro- moters aimed at and yet always rescuing the raisin interest from exactions and op- pressions. The association of prune grow ers had a most difficult task in its ef. fort to sell at a profit the enormous prune product of 190, including the output of rival sections and of people distrustful of each other. It had rivals at home and enemies at a distance. It made colossal errors in the matter of ways and means and from nearly all points of view it failed utterly and will never outlive its bad name. Out of its failure, however, comes a stronger disposition than ever toward the formation of local associations and their affillation into central control. | Lessons have been learned from failure and the air is cleared after the storms. Co-operation among California fruit grow- ers is all the stronger because of the fail- ures it has made. ‘‘We have now in California from 75 to 100 local assqciations, most of them own. ing property in packing houses, etc., buy- ing and distributing suppiies, grading and packing fruit and drying in many cases, selling first-class products under their distinctive brand; and acting to- gether in securing advantages in transportation and the ke, We have associations ‘of special-product people, walnut growers, almond growers, prune growers, etc., which are in some cases fixing minimum price or arranging public sales, accepting or rejecting bids upon products in bulk and representing many producers. In these lines of local co-operation steady and stalwart prog- ress Is being made and general afiiliations including these units will in time bring all our growers together in mutual un- derstanding and joint action.

LOUIS, Sept. 12.—California, whose area is greater than all of the New Eng- Jand States combined, with the added area of Missouri, will make an exhibit at the World’s Fair at St. Louis in keeping with her geographical size. | No State and no country présents a greater diversity of interest and climate than does this western member of the Union, which embraces 155,980 square miles' and monopolizes two-thirds of America's share of the Pacific Coast. In the southern portion oranges, lemons, pineapples, olives, wines, barley, wheat and sugar corn are among the chief pro- ducts. In the extreme north wheat, oats, barley, potatoes and hay are among the principal crops, while sheep and stock- raising is a profitable industry. Every one of California’s “fifty-seven counties possesses rich mineral deposits and there are mined with profit gold, silver, quick- silver, lead, copper, iron, chromium, an- timony, borax, rock salt, soda, potash and sulphur. California’s legislative appropriation for the exposition gives no adequate idea of the extent t§ which the State will par- ticipate at St. Louis. It is $130,000, but any times that amount will be expended by different communities, societie: individuals. The State Jaw permits coun 1 tax and s, nearly every o show its resources to the world and Las raised the required revenue.

STATE BUILDING APART. | California’s State building on the fair | site will be erected apart from the other: A tract of land fronting on Skinker road facing the Palace of Agriculture and overlooking the Palace of Machinery was selected by the Commissioners, and there they will build a reproduction, with some modific sion. tion, of the Santa Barbara\Mis- The central structure, facing on T road, will be fifty feet widc. It sists of an arched entrance between two lofty dome-topped towers. On either | side are wings, two stories high and thirty feet long. The depth of the build- ing is seventy feet, and at the rear are two more wings of the same size and style of architecture as those In front. The entrance is reached by ascendiug a flight of massive stone steps the full | width of the central structure. Even to | the bells the Santa Barbara Mission will | be followed as a type. Besides beirg a | clubhouse for Californiars, many of the | exhibits will be shown In this building, | and it will be rendered so attractive that it will be one of the many favorite resorts | for World's Fair visitors. i Besides showing the resources that | have made the great Pacific State fa- mous, many novel features are planned. An ostrich farm can be seen, and in this | inclosure will be shown the care and| training of the great birds. The feathers | which are so valuable will form an in- teresting part of the exhibit, and the va- | rious processes which the plumes under- | go from the time they are plucked until | they are ready to adorn the hat or are | attached to the ivory frame of a fan will | be in harmony with the exposition theory | —to show processes side by side with the finished product. Of course California will make an elab- | orate display In the Palace of Mines and | Metallurgy. The annual production of | gold and silverin the State is more than $20,000,000 and more than 600,000 pounds of quicksilver is annually produced. In the outside mining exhibit che will show an especially interesting attraction. A gulch covering an area of more than 12 acres | lies southwest of the Palace of Mines and Metallurgy and in this California will re- produce one of the famed 1849 mining | camps, with vivid reminders of the pio- | neer days. Here will be the cabin occu- pied by John W. Mackay, the bonan: king. Pay dirt will be sent from Califo nia and a placer mine in operation will accurately show how this industry is carried on. QUICKSILVER EXHIBIT. Quicksilver or mercury, that mysterious metal which plays so important a pact in many industries, will form the basis for an exhibit bristling with interest. How the metal looks when it comes from the mine, what processes it undergoes {o make it form the background for the mir- for or fill the bulb of the thermometer and all its other uses, will be shown.~ Irrigation, which has become a science, B e 2 2 e o ) tofore deciduous fruits have been grown by rainfall. The older the trees become and the greater their demand for moist- ure in order to produce large merchant- able fruit, the greater is the irrigated area. The addition of water artificially during the rainy season to the amount which comes by rainfall is growing in popularity where the subsoil is deep and retentive enough to act as a reser- volr for such water. Where this is not enough, one or two irrigations in the sum- mer are added. “Protection against frost, or rather the prevention of low temperature at the place where it would do injury, is becom- ing a wider recourse, not alone for citrus fruits which are menaced by frost in De- cember and January, but for apricots, al- monds and grape vines which are liable to injury by spring frosts. The burning of crude oil in properly contrived iron pots, about forty to the acre of trees, has been so fully demonstrated to raise the surrounding atmosphere from three to six degrees Fahrenheit, that outfits of these pots with electric alarms operated by thermostats to give warning of danger- ous drops of temperature are being set up in all parts of the State. The old methods of running water and smoke fires are also employed, but the oil burners are surer to protect the fruit. pay any price you choose, from 73¢ to $2.30.
