We wish to acknowledge the splendid cooperation wve received from both
official and private sources during the preparation of this voluminous statistical
report.
The rail freight and express cirlot shipment figures were secured from the
Fruit and Vegetable Branch of the Production and Markcting Administration, U. S.
Department of Agriculture in Washington, D.C.
Exhaustive vegetable acreage, yield, production and value data and other
assistance was supplied by Mr. J. C. Townsend and Lr. J. B. Owens, Agricultural
Statisticians, and Mr. G. N. Rose, Truck Crop Statisitician, U. S. Bureau of
Agricultural Economics, Federal Building, Orlando, Florida.
Mr. E. E. Raasch, Statistician of the Citrus Inspection Bureau, Florida
Department of Agriculture, Wintrr Haven, Florida, supplied us with important record
data and other information.
The daily reports from their Road Guard Stations, showing passing of
fruits and vc.etables, were very helpful throughout the season and for annual
records shown in this report.
Mr. William B. Conner, of the Florida Citrus Exchange, Tampa, whole-
heartedly complied with our requests for specified citrus information.
Mr. H. F. Willson, Federal-State Citrus iLarket News Service, and Mr. Hugh
S. Flynt, of the Fedcral-State Inspection Service, also supplied useful data for use
in this report.
Mr. La IMonte Graw, Manager of the Florida Vegetable Committee, prepared
an article and rendered other assistance.
Several official and private agencies and individuals not already mentioned
supplied information directly or indirectly to us, for which we extend our thanks.
The preparation of this report is tedious and requires much thought and
long, hard work, and appreciation by the writer is extended to our Bureau staff for
their efforts.
Comments which would lead to t he improvement of this Annual Report would
be appreciated.

ANNUAL FRUIT AND VEGETABLE REPORT
By Frank H. Scruggs, Market News Specialist
VOLUME AND VALUE OF ALL FhUITS AND VEGETABLES
Another eventful crop season has passed but the beginning of the 1947-48
season is so upset as these words are written, October 17, 1947, that it hardly seems
useful to go into the history of the 1946-47 season, which was only moderately and
unevenly successful.
Looking back over the weather summary since 1925, no season shows such heavy
rains and flooded conditions in September and to October 17 as prevailed this season
in South Florida and to a lesser extent in Central Florida and Westward to the
Suwannee River.
High winds and heavy rains lashed Florida's fruit and vegetable areas in
South and Central Florida. Two hurricanes and two or more near hurricanes brought
high winds and torrential rains over most of South Florida. Palm Beach, Broward and
Dade Counties where the bulk of Florida's vegetable crops are grown, were already
suffering from high water.
As of October 14, the citrus production for 1947-48 had sustained consider-
able damage, most of the vegetables in South Florida were drowned out, pastures were
flooded. At this date, much of the vegetable land in the important Fall and Winter
vegetable areas was still under water and may continue that way for many days. Un-
official reports are that the rainfall in South and East Florida as far North as
Jacksonville up to October 15 is 20-30 inches above normal.
Up to the time of the September 17 hurricane and subsequent periods of heavy
rains, Florida citrus groves located mostly in Central Florida or on higher ground in
South Florida had been favored with ideal weather conditions for crop production and
recovery from the February 5-11 freezes of the 1946-47 season. The September 17,
1947 hurricane caused extensive losses of grapefruit in the lower East coast,
particularly in Indian River and St. Lucie Counties, which Counties normally produce
less than 10% of the total Florida crop, and had some of the best of the State
grapefruit crop. Lower I.R. Counties furnish 25 per cent or more of the fresh grape-
fruit shipments. The loss of 40 per cent or more of high quality fruit, generally
accepted by the higher class trade, will likely affect the fresh grapefruit situation
The higher quality grapefruit in the various citrus sections should benefit marketwise
An appreciable loss of grapefruit was also sustained by growers in Highlands, South
Polk, Hardee, DeSoto, Manatee, and Pinellas Counties, where some of the better grape-
fruit is grown. Most of the grapefruit crop in Lee County on the West coast was blown
off the trees. Heavy rains in late September and to October 15 continued to plague
the East coast. Many groves were flooded and additional loss of fruit may likely be
sustained. Associated reports out of Ft. Lauderdale say that 5,000-6,000 A. of orange
trees planted on the lower ground of the Davie section have been ruined beyond
recovery. Time will tell.
Livestock in South Florida and lower Central Florida is also suffering from
heavily flooded pastures and rangeland. Unofficial reports say that 10,000 or more
head have died from either drowning or starvation or a combination of the two. If
there are no additional flood rains in late October and November the livestock in the
sections South of Orlando should pull thru fairly well. There may be enough grass to
sustain the range cattle but they should be getting fatter instead of barely holding
their own in the Fall season. More Florida livestock has been marketed this year, and
at high prices, than ever in the history of Florida.
Unlike some States, we give the full facts even if bad, believing that truth
is the best policy even if it hurts. This Bureau would not do anything else.
There are some bright sides to the 1946-47 season and even some good
prospects for the 1947-48 season.
The 1947 corn crop of 7,946,000 bushels is 15 per cent above average. Cottc
yields are better than a year ago, the farmers expecting 10,000 bales as compared to
Page 1
Page 2
6,000 bales in 1946. Tobacco yields wero 25,190,000 pounds as compared to 22,251,000
pounds, and peanuts 57,000,000 pounds against 45,600,000 pounds; sweet potatoes
1,159,000 bushels compared to 1,088,000 bushels in 1946. Corn, sweet potatoes, pea-
nuts are selling higher than last year, while tobacco and cotton are lower at 40.7,
and 320 per pound, respectively. Poultry and egg prices have run higher in 1947
although feed prices are up too. Beef cattle on September 15 averaged $13.70 per 100
pounds compared to $10.70 a year ago. Hogs average $22.90 per 300 pounds compared to
$15.00 a year ago as of September 15.
Most of the crop mentioned had been harvested before the September 17
hurricane. West Florida, which has not had too much rain, is the principal source of
some of the field crops.
This brings us up to the fruit and vegetable summary for last year.
FRUITS AND VEGETABLES IN THE-1946-47 SEASON
Excessive rains delayed field operations in Palm Beach and Broward Counties
last year. The hurricane of October 7-8 did some damage to vegetables and a lot to
citrus. A tropical storm with heavy rains around November 1 did extensive damage to
vegetables in part of the Everglades but less damage in the Ft. Pierce (St. Lucie
County) tomato and vegetable area, and in the Broward County bean and vegetable area
and in the Dade potato and tomato area. Heavy rain was followed by hot sunshine with
consequent heavy scald damage in most South Florida sections.
'Strong winds December 2-5 whipped badly the crops along the lower East coast
in the Lake Okeechobee section. Heavy rains December 15-14 did not do any good. Un-
seasonably warm weather prevailed throughout the State until early February. This was
wonderful for tourists but bad on citrus which needs some cool to cold temperatures to
ripen, sweeten and to make it firm for holding in the cars, warehouses, stones and
homes until it is consumed.
Tender crops and tender citruswere hit hard by thefreezes of February 5, 6,
10 and 11, 1947. Heavy rains March 1 and high winds March 2 further reduced'tendor
crop acreage. Other damaging rains occurred in the Spring of last season.
We are not complaining about Florida weather conditions, as the weather'
conditions are most delightful generally to 2,500,000 Florida people and to about
1,000,000 out-of-State people who spend their winters or vacations here. Our freezes,
although doing enormous damage to fruits and vegetables at times, are of short dura-
tion. We can have a freeze on Sunday and have real baseball weather by Wednesday:. We
expect the storms, as that is the penalty we must pay for sticking out into the Ocean
and Gulf, and having over 1,200 miles of shoreline. We are semi-tropical and that
means lots of storms and rains. Florida is a green State the year round in spite of
some freezes and this green is attractive to all who live or come here. We have lots
of lakes, bays and rivers which help to keep us wet but attractive. We can grow beans,
eggplant, peppers, squash and strawberries in January and February and' no other State
can do this in any volume or regularly.
Even though we can and do grow these tender vegetables in the Winter it is
strictly a gamble on the part of the individual grower who has to have nerve and come-
back powers. The Nation owes a debt of gratitude to these hardy farmers who get fresh
produce to them in the dead of winter even though the price might be high. Whenever
the price is extra high it means that for every farmer who was not hurt there were
probably ten who suffered heavy losses from a freeze and that the supply is very light.
GROSS VALUE OF 1946-47 CROP $248,700.000
In spite of all the weather handicaps, Florida produced 262,992 carloads of
fruits and vegetables with a gross f.o.b. Florida packed value of $248,700,000. This
was considerably lower than for the 1945-46 season when we produced 286,427 carloads
for all purposes, with a gross value of $364,300,000. The 1945-46 season was the best
season gross and net in the history of Florida. The gross value in 1946-47 season
just passed was considerably above the pre-war average of about $110,000,000 gross.
Our production of 262,992 carloads for the past season was higher than any prior year
except the record 1945-46 season.
Page 3
Gross prices during the last season or so cannot be fairly compared with
pre-war seasons as all labor, crate materials, equipment and other costs have
increased two, three or four-fold. Generally speaking, the citrus and vegetable
growers did not do very well during the 1946-47 season. The extra costs of these
storms or freezes, which require replanting of crops once or twice or more do not show
up in the gross and net calculations. The citrus growers had to battle a freeze from
February 5-11, using much fuel and much extra labor. Cplifornia is used to this
expense, while it is rather new to us. California is a good State in spite of her
smoke and fog and cloudbursts. Florida at the moment sympathizes with California.
SOME RANDOM THOUGHTS
When Will We Get A 125,000,000-box Citrus Crop?
Most people in the citrus industry have been predicting that we would have
tremendous increases in the citrus production from 1945 on,.and that we would have
150,000,000 boxes by 1950. At the time these predictions were first made we had a
crop of 86,000,000. They seemed right and probably are right. For the 1946-47
season it looked like 102,000,000 boxes or more. Along came a hurricane in October
1946 and a freeze in February 1947 and we ended up with 83,100,000 boxes used and
another 4,600,000 boxes abandoned because of poor markets. In August 1947 it looked
like a crop of 90 to 95 million boxes and we were hit by a hurricane in South Florida.
.The trees had not fully recovered from the freeze of February 1947 or we might have
had prospects of considerably more than 100,000,000 boxes. We have the potentials
for a 150,000,000-box crop by 1950, but is nature going to let the crop go that high?
We do have good citrus weather sometimes for two years in a row and it is conceivable
that our crop could jump to 125,000,000 or more in two years. So far nature in its
destruction has been good to the citrus industry as a whole and saved them from some
terrific marketing problems. Our 1946-47 crop is now just about average size and
manageable. The price structure. over this nation is still unsettled but marketing
may not be any more of a problem than for the 1946-47 season just passed.
HIGH COST OF TRANSPORTATION
The writer, who has been with the Florida State Marketing Bureau since 1929
and four years longer in Florida and has seen the trucking of fruits and vegetables
develop from scratch and has heard the railroad men groan and despair of ever
effectively meeting this truck transportation and to a slightly lesser extent the
transportation by boat from Florida, finds it interesting if not tragic to see them
asking for higher and higher rates which they cannot or will not get down fast enough
when the good times are over. The railroads have their costs problems and they can
easily rationalize their present behavior. They are apparently tied to the present
levels of high labor and material costs. After getting out of the bankrupt doldrums
of the thirties, and before, they feel like they are entitled to a fair profit on
their investment. Some growers vould like to see the combined investment costs to
present owners of all railroads out of bankruptcy and the combined net return for
same. It must not be forgotten that the railroads own a tremendous volume of valuable
unimproved real estate which they do not use in their operations. This could be sold
and their taxes reduced. While the railroads may be tied to the high labor and
material costs and claim a right to higher rates, the Florida grower is not so
fortunate. He is tied to these same high costs but he has-no Interstate Commerce
Commission to help guarantee him a profit. We agree.that the railroads are very
necessary to this nation and that they did a good job during tne war and are still
doing so.-
Perhaps we have our heads in the sands. We nay never go back to pre-war
prices; we may be permanently on an inflationary level 50-100% higher than pre-war
Still we cannot get away from the fact that 4,600,000 boxes of citrus were abandoned
last season at certain periods because the markets would not justify the cost of
packing, marketing and transportation. VWe cannot forget that 1,465 carloads of
Page 4
cabbage and 1,500 cars of watermelons were abandoned for the same reason. WVe did not
do so badly financially on the volume we were able to grow last year but this surplus
volume and these periodic low prices seem a portent of worse things to come.
All of us, including the railroads, are spinning around on the wheel of
fortune or disaster, and where she stops nobody knows.
DETAILS OF TRANSPORTATION OF FRUITS AiMD VEGETABLES FOR 1946-47 SEASON
Freight volume- of citrus at 68,569 cars was the second lowest in the last
five years, the high year being the 1943-44 season with 83,328 cars. The 1946-47
vegetable volume of 30,538 was the lowest in the last six years, the highest volume
being in 1945-46 when 57,310 carloads were shipped by straight freight. (See page 2F.)
The trucked out shipments of fruits and vegetables were the equivalent of
32,007 carloads, compare( to 25,604 for 1945-46 and 17,161 carloads in 1944-45 season,
showing a healthy increase over the last year of the war when 17,161 carloads were
moved by truck. The record year was in 1940-41 just before the war when 41,712 car-
loads were moved by truck.
The railroads moved 111,756 carloads of fruits and vegetables out of a
total freight express truck and boat movement of 148,606 carloads. In the 1940-41
season the railroad moved 79,775 out of 140,844 carloads moving out of State by all
forms of transportation. Back in 1940-41 the coastwise boats were a factor with
19,357 carloads. The railroad percentage volume for 1946-47 is some higher than for
1940-41 season as the number of packages per car is generally 10-15 per cent higher
than before the war. The trucking operations are increasing rapidly but the boat
operations are increasing slowly.
1946-47 PRICES COMPARED WITH 1.945-46 SEASON
The following tabulation shows the f.o.b. Florida gross packed value of
some of the commercial fruits and vegetables in Florida. Commodities sold to

NOTE: Gross reft-rs to returns f.o.b. cars Florida shipping points, and net refers to returns to growers or fruit
owners before deducting for interest and taxes but after deducting for cost of production and marketing.
1. Trucked out shipment figures were based on passing through Road Guard Stations. Road Guard Stations for check-
ing were open October 1-June 15. Prior and later passing estimated.
2. Cannery fruit represents average gross price delivered to canners, and the net.price is the gross less the
estimated picking, hauling, and marketing charges.
3. Figures for Consumed in Florida are rough estimates based on population, prices, etc. Our summer population in
1947 was nearly 2,400,000. Our winter tourist population is estimated at 750,000-1,000,000 people at height of
season in February.
4. Abandoned for marketing reasons 4,600,000 boxes, which represented a loss of 2,420,000, which was not deducted.

NOTES: There is considerable difficultyin working out a detailed disposition sheet for vegetables and miscellaneous
fruits as comprehensive data is not as available as for citrus. First it was considered advisable to use the U.S.
Dept. of Agriculture estimate of total production and work back from there. -Ve have the records on the truck ship-
ments out of State which figures are u.sd. We have the records on straight freight and boat for individual commodi-
ties. We have only the totals for mixed-freight and LCL express. The Florida consumption figures are-only estimates
as there are no actual records. Vie had to apportion the mdxed freight and mixed express totals as best we could to
the various commodities with the handicap of having to make all of the separstd :totals check with the total official
crop estimate. An additional problem was the disposition of the volume of squash, radishes,caaliflowier,carrots,spinach,
broccoli,endive,etc., included in the miscellaneous figures for vegetables. Miscellaneous Fruits included avocados,
Persian and Key lines, mangoes, grapes, guavas, persimmons, blueberries, kuxmquats, etc.

equivalent of bushels with the exception of citrus which are in 1-3/5 bu. crates. The 28 cars of strawberries
assigned to L.C.L. express is without record data to support it. We khow that some strawberries went out L.C.L.
express and we included in this figure any shipments by air. ** We have no shipping record to support this 100
car estimate for L.C.L. express miscellaneous fruits, but since completing our shipment tabulation we learn that
approximately 109 carloads of Persian limes were inspected for LCL express. Probably another 100 cars or more
of avocados, mangoes, etc., went out by L.C.L. express. Abandoned because of market conditions and not
included in the gross FOB Florida value. The gross includes the production, marketing costs, and packing costs
if packed, and profit', if any. Most, or all, crops showed a profit.

Page 10 LET'S NIOT FOOL OURSELVES
By La Monte Graw, Manager, Florida Vegetable Committee
Florida 1946-47 vegetable crops yielded good prices for the grower, if he pulled
his crop through, and there seems to be a feeling on the part of many growers that
"everything in the future will. come out all right." After all, they say, grower
prices did not break down as predicted by agricultural economists and others, and
those fortunate enough.to pull their crops through got good prices. Therefore, they
conclude, we can grow our products as we have in the past, package'and sell them the
same way, and still make money, IF we are lucky enough not to get drowned or frozen out
Mother Nature has again been the ally of those who contend we can do business in
the same old way. She has reduced the 1947 Fall crops, and they will probably bring
good prices. (The Everglades Section early 1947 Fall plantings are practically
drowned out as result of storms, rains and mid-September hurricane.)
Does that mean we can expect to continue to plant heavily, gambling that the
market price will be high enough in future years to cover a cost increase of 150't-
200% over pre-war, and still give us a profit? I don't think so.
Facts are facts. It is a fact that weather conditions last Spring and this Fall
have reduced the crop, and prices held up. However, we can't forget that competing
areas were also kicked around at the same time, a very unusual condition, and the
Nation has had the highest employment and highest national income ever known.
It is a fact that we may have good prices all through 1947-48 if weather
continues to-cut the production in Florida and competing areas.
However, if we examine the experience of vegetable growers in areas where the
supply has been ample during their season, we find that the vegetable price level has
dropped considerably. Some of them took severe lickings.
What about the years when we and our competitors will have large crops; when
the purchasing power of the Nation will drop from the present peak; when the full
force of competition from frozen foods will be felt? Can we afford to sit back and
say "everything will come out all right"?
Growers and shippers who have analyzed the situation don't believe so. They
point out that:
(1) We can produce more.
(2) The cost of producing our crops has increased greatly.
(3) The transportation situation has not improved, and won't for some years.
(4) The terminal markets are antiquated and inefficient, resulting in costly delays
and product deterioration.
(5) Retailers, with the exception of the big super-markets, are not equipped to store
and display this increased volume, and seem to have little interest in increasing
their sales through lower mark-ups.
(6) The housewife has fewer dollars for food, and
(7) The consumer price is too high two to three times what the grower gets.
A nationally recognized authority warned the Vegetable Growers of America at
their recent annual meeting that the trend is away from fresh produce. He even
predicted that in future years the housewife may buy one-third of her fruits and
Vegetables frozen, one-third canned, and the remaining one-third fresh.
The retail trend is toward self-service. The retailer wants consumer-sized
packages he can put into his display case without a lot of preparation and waste, both
expensive to him.
The housewife is turningmore than ever to convenient sized packages. She is
more "finicky" and wants vegetables more mature, more palatable, better appearing,
and in a package she can carry home in her arms and store in her limited refrigerator
space. She wants something she can prepare with a minimum of effort and expense and
she wants it clean.
When the housewife had to buy fresh vegetables, particularly in the out-of-season
months when the supply was relatively small, her wishes could be ignored. Today, when
the frozen food people, the canners and others are fighting for her business; when the
production of fresh fruits and vegetables is so great that it can no longer be
absorbed by the "luxury" market, but must be sold in large quantities to consumers in
the lower income groups; when the consumer price has been loaded down with costs that
put fresh vegetables beyond the ability of many consumers to buy today we must
begin merchandising our products, or we won't be able to sell enough of them tomorrow
to cover our costs and return a fair profit.
Page 11
The grower who complacently figures that we will be "all right" if we do nothing
to fit ourselves to changing conditions is in for a sad awakening, though he may go
broke before he does wake up.
Certainly our competitors are not going to sit back and do nothing. Vegetable
growers and shippers in Texas and California are aggressively going after the'
business. Mexico and Cuba are coming backlinto the picture bigger than ever. They
can produce anything we can, and will do it as soon as transportation conditions
permit. Many markets formerly served by Florida have been-taken over by these
competing areas. Certainly the transportation companies aren't going to give up
their fight for higher rates. Proposed increases would add millions of dollars to
the growers' cost of doing business, and will tend to restrict the market.
The distributors and retailers aren't-going to make a lot of improvements in
their way of doing business unless compelled to do so. Privately, some of them
admit they must do a better job and do it at lower cost but terminal facilities
and handling methods are not likely to be improved-very much until the distributors
find themselves losing money. Retailers continue to expect a big profit from small
volume, rather than trying to sell a larger quantity and better variety at nominal
prices. Most of them would have to install expensive display and storage equipment
to do a better job.
On top of all this is the desire of the housewife for better foods for less
money. Fresh vegetables must compete for her business on quality, appearance, avail-
ability, variety, convenience, cleanliness and price with frozen foods and better-
than-ever canned goods.
During the past year the frozen food people have learned to their sorrow that
the housewife won't accept a product just because it is frozen. If the quality and
value aren't there, she won't buy. Millions of'dollars were lost by the frozen foods
industry last year because some of the processors tried to make a quick profit from
low quality merchandise. This year, having learned their lesson, they are going to
be offering good merchandise at a price.
We congratulate ourselves on the fact that'we can get good prices when produc-
tion is reduced by Mother Nature, without realizing that this same condition has
caused high consumer prices for poorer quality vegetables. The result is that many
housewives stop buying Florida fresh produce and turn to oth-r food items. It will
be a hard job to win many of. them back.
Let's not fool ourselves we have a big fight ahead and we can't win it
unless viwe fight as a unit for what is rightfully ours.
The growers and shippers of Florida vegetables have generally done a good job of
improving their production procedures water control, soil analysis and treatment,
labor saving cultural and protective equipment, washing and grading equipment,etc.
When they do an equally good job of adjusting plantings to avoid market gluts -
diverting waste parts and surplus to profitable by-products, speeding up the process
of transporting our goods to market in good condition, reducing marketing costs, and
at the same time give the housewife a better product at a price she can pay then we
will be in a position to meet the competition from other areas and other products,
and to hold our own in the fresh vegetable industry.
The Florida Vegetable Committee is a voluntary association of many, if not
most, of the larger shippers and larger producers.
They contribute a lot of their time, thought and money, working for the
benefits to the vegetable growers, large and small. Some smaller belong too.
They have a fully staffed office in Orlando and Mr. LaMonte Graw, the
enterprising manager of same, may be found there when he is not in "'ashington, Texas,
Mexico, California or Tallahassee, looking after the interests of the vegetable
industry in Florida.

citrus net prices do not allow any deductions for interest on investmentS, for taxes,
or for depreciation of equipment. Pages 6-7 of this report which include private as
well as auction sales of citrus should be used along with this page. Private sales
of tangerines averaged considerably higher than auction sales in the 1945-46 and
1946-47 seasons. See pages 44-45 for Citrus Price Analysis.

The above tabulation was prepared from data supplied by hr. J. B. Owens
and L'r. G. I. Rose, Agricultural Statisiticians, U.S. Bureau of Agricultural Economics
Federal Bldg., Orlando, Florida. They are the original and only source for acreage and
production estimates in Florida.
These estimates were made as of September 20, 1947, and are subject to
revision. Crop reporting is not an exact science. Later information will come showing
that there was some isolated acreage not reported, some abandoned acreage not
previously reported. These estimators do not have an all-seeing eye and look down
from the heavens and locate exactly every acre that is planted, or at least know for
sure what it is. They are just like the majority of the readers except that they have
been in this business a long time in Florida, and have a lot of farmer and shipper
contacts and a lot of "know how." They're pretty good.

NOTE: No boat shipments reported during 1942-43, 1943-44, and 1944-45 seasons due to War restrictions, but
there might .have been small amounts to the West Indies and some perhaps on Naval vessels or Army transports,
if any in Florida waters. A few boat citrus shipments went out during the 1945-46 season. See Page 29 for
further information regarding boat shipments.

The grades in the USA were for the year 1944 while those for Florida were
in a survey of 1947. From the above figures it is evident of the need of good
purebred bulls, improved pasture and feed conditions, fencing and herd management
practices, otc., as a means to bring about increase in grade.
For additional information -write the.-Florida State marketing Bureau for

(Per Capita Civilian Consumption)
The consumption of food statistics may appear very dull reading except for
those who really desire to 'study and'have need for there. The-e data are assembled
from various sources but mostly from the U.S. Department of Agriculture Statistical
Year Books.
It may be noted that the per -capita consumption of red meat has changed ver!
little since 1910.
The increase in chicken meat has been about 25%, while turkey meat consumed
shows a marked increase, and may increase even more. Consumption of eggs has increase
about 30%.
Margarine has not shown any marked increase and probably would have decrease
except that butter supplies were short in 1945.
Lard shows little change, but other edible fats showed about 1/3 increase ir
1940 prior to the war in 1941.

Per capital consumption shows a decided decrease for potatoes and a down-trert
for sweet potatoes, while dried beans show a moderate increase.
Apples are losing in popularity, but the figures for 1910 and 1935 are not
comparable, as commercial production only was considered after 1933.
Citrus fruits per capital show a remarkable increase, being more than 35
times what it was in 1910.

Frech fruits as a whole show only a slight increase, but canned fruits and
canned fruit juices show bout 5 times the volume consumed per capital in 1910 and
considerable increase over 1930.
Fresh vegetables show a moderate increase. Tomatoes fresh and tomatoes
canned, popular for decades show no material change. Other canned vegetables show a
remarkable increase since-1910, and about a 50% increase since 1950.
The consumption-of corn meal, which is included with the corn and corn
products consumption figures, shows a marked decrease. Rice is just about as popular
as in 1920. The same holds for dried fruits.

Any person over 50 years of age who was raised in the country or in a small
city can recollect the changes in eating habits since 1910. We had plenty of red meat
and chicken in 1910. Butter and lard were.plentiful. Lots of home made bread,
biscuits, and corn meal were available at low cost. Oatmeal was the principal cereal
in 1910. Sugar was a little high priced for some. The cheap American cheese made up
most of the cheese consumption. A slice of cheese and some crackers made a meal for
the more thrifty farmers and workers in town for the day. Potatoes were required in
large quantities in the North; sweet potatoes, rice and grits in the South. A lot of
hard work with long hours was done in those days and the worker needed plenty of solid,
nourishing foods.
In late years few off-the-farm work over 40 hours a week, but people still
eat a lot of meat but less potatoes and bread. The doctors have recommended cereals,
citrus, fruit juices, etc. Many women are working in offices and eating out of cans
at night, having fruit or vegetable salads for lunch. Many manual workers now eat a
lighter breakfast and lighter lunch.
The per capital consumption of red meats, wheat, corn, potatoes, sweet
potatoes, dried beans and lard was approximately. 696.7 pounds in 1910 as compared to
509.0 pounds in 1945, while for a group of foods including milk, butter, eggs, fresh
and canned fruits and juices, and vegetables, the per capital consumption was approx-
imately 716.0 pounds in 1910. and 970.8 pounds in 1945. The total of these two groups
was 1412.7 pounds in 1910 and 1480.7 pounds in 1945. This shows that we eat more
volume, get less calories, but get more minerals, etc.
The physical condition of the inhabitants is considered much better in 1945
than in 1910, but this is not entirely due to a better balanced diet. Much of this
improvement is due to better health and medical care, and perhaps to the lighter
physical'work 6f many.

THE PRODUCTION OF FLORIDA FRUITS AND VEGETABLES AS AFFECTED BY WEATHER
CONDITIONS 1946-47 SEASON
By G. N. Rose, Associate Agricu2tural Economist
Old man weather gathered together his most unfavorable items, bound them in
a neat package and threw the bcok at Florida during the 1946-47 season. Beginning in
the Fall with heavy rains, followed by abnormally high temperatures in the late Fall
and early Winter with a reversal into a February freeze, the elements took a heavy
toll of fruits and vegetables. A cool, wet Spring and Summer revived the freeze
battered citrus acreage, but the 1946-47 season ended and the 1947-48 started with a
hurricane September 17, accompanied by heavy rains, laying waste Fall vegetable plant-
ings and causing some loss to citrus, mainly grapefruit. At this time (October 6,
1947) much land is still under water, dimming the prospects for Fall vegetable
production.
FRUIT Florida started the 1946-47 season with prospects for a record
citrus production of over a hundred million box crop. Warm weather during October,
November, and December resulted in a deterioration of quality to the extent that
prices were demoralized and considerable quantities of fruit hit the ground. The
February freeze took an additional toll of eleven or twelve million boxes and when
the season had ended, about 85.1 million boxes had been utilized and over 4 million
boxes lost through low prices.
VEGETABLES Florida farmers planted approximately 350,000 acres of
vegetables during the 1946-47 season and were able to bring through about 280,000
acres for harvest, or about 80% of the planted acreage. However, acreage re-planted
to the same crop within either the Fall, Winter or Spring season is not counted in
the above planted acreage. Production from the harvested acreages amounted to
approximately 60,000 cars and car equivalents.
The first chapter from the book huffed and puffed its way across the State
October 7 and 8, 1946, and vegetables unhurt by the blow had a wet blanket draped
very ungracefully over them by the rains which followed. The next chapter was a hot
onel In fact it stayed too hot for favorable production, especially for leaf crops,
until the assassin killed its innocent victims February 6 and 7. Tender crops in all
Florida areas were hard hit by the heavy frost and cold. Snap beans occupied the
largest acreage, followed by tomatoes, potatoes, peppers, peas, lima beans, cucumbers,
eggplant and squash. The various leaf crops-were damaged but to a lesser degree..
Continued cold and rain came intermittently'throughout February and March, 1947.
Crops were either abandoned or planted again and again. The inevitable result was 9
seriously reduced production and delayed harvest.
There was one comforting factor: Farmers able to bring even a part of a
crop through were amply rewarded, in most cases, with fancy prices. END.
NOTE: For Truck Crop News released monthly or oftener, write to Mr. G. N. Rose,
U.S. Bureau of Agricultural Economics, Federal-Building, Orlando, Florida.
The above brief review of the effects of weather on Florida production seems
gloomy and is gloomy, but it is not the first year that Florida has been hit hird by
the weather. In fact we hardly would go through a season without some bad weather
and crop losses.
As this report goes to press October 14, 1947, we are having as bad fall
weather perhaps as we have ever had in South Florida which is principal vegetable%
production area in Florida. All plantings are being delayed and our November and
December crops in South Florida will be light. Central and North Florida areas are
better off.
In spite of bad weather in various seasons, from 1926-27 to 1945-46 seasons
inclusive, Florida has shipped 1,087,237 cars of vegetables and miscellaneous fruits
and the total production of fruits and vegetables was equivalent to 3,566,921 carloads
with a gross fob packed value of 42,669,450,000 for the 20-year period.

The 1947 average for 24 oz. eggs will likely be around 735 per dozen, and for
heavy breed fryers around 37 a pound.
Florida producers do not, of course, get grain from Kansas or Iowa at farm
prices. They are buying mixed feed at $5.70-6.50 per 100 pounds with prospects of
higher prices. Florida producers generally get a lower price than the Jacksonville
quotations.
