AC K N 0 LEDGMENT

We wish to acknowledge the splendid cooperation we received from both
official and private sources during the preparation of this rather comprehensive
statistical report.

The rail freight and express carlot shipment figures were secured from the
Fruit and Vegetable Branch of the Production and Marketing 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, Jr., Mr. J. B. Owens, and Mr. Paul
Shuler, Agricultural Statisticians, and Mr. G. N. Rose, Truck Crop Statistician,
U.S. Bureau of Agricultural Economics, Federal Building, Orlando, Florida.

Mr. A. L. Scarborough, Statistician of the Citrus and Vegetable Division,
Florida Department of Agriculture, Winter Haven, Florida, supplied us with important
record data and other information. Mr. Hugh S. Flynt, Assistant Director of this
division, supplied a detailed summary of inspections for the season. The daily
reports from their Road Guard Stations, operated by the Citrus and Vegetable Division,
showing passing of fruits and vegetables, were very helpful to shippers and growers
throughout the season and for record purposes in this report.

Mr. H. F. Willson, Federal-State Citrus iEarket News Service, also supplied
useful data for use in this report. Mr. Willson is located in Lakeland, Florida.

Mr. William B. Conner, of the Florida Citrus Exchange, Tampa, whole-
heartedly complied with our requests for specified citrus information.

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 long and hard work,
and appreciation by the writer is extended to our Bureau staff for their efforts and
accomplishments. Commissioner L. Neill Rhodes contributed and Introductory which is
information and well worth your reading. ir. L. H. Lewis, Specialist, Live Stock
and Field Crops, and Ir. Gifford N. Rhodes, Specialist, Live Stock Market News, and
Mr. F. Vf. Risher, Specialist, Dairy and Poultry Products, of this Bureau, supplied
certain livestock and poultry information.

FOREWORD
Inasmuch as this Annual Report has just been completed I am full of the subject
and will tell some of the younger generation a few things about the Florida fruit and
vegetable business and Florida statistics. Several days ago I read that some sort of
a research economist had made a study which brought out the fact that U3 percent of
the people did not remember anything about the affairs of the nation prior to 19b1.
Many of our foremost economists have no recollection of business affairs prior to
1930, and still fewer remember 1923, and even fewer were worrying about marketing or
other business affairs in 1916. Just to set the record straight, I gave such things
no thought before 1920.
The Federal Market News service and Inspection service was started in 1916 and
in a very limited way. The late Commissioner L. M. Rhodes helped to get the bill
through Congress to start the old U.S. Bureau of Markets.
Commissioner Rhodes came to Florida in 1917 to start off the Florida State
Marketing Bureau, and headed it until his decease in 1946.
I went with the Federal Market News service in 1923 and came to Sanford on the
celery deal in January 1924, and back again in 1925 to operate the Federal-State
Market News service for celery. In those days the Market News service and the Inspec-
tion service in the United States was very young but vigorous. Crop estimates on
fruits and vegetables was very limited. Mr. H. A. Marks, who later established the
Crop and Livestock Reporting service in Orlando for Florida, was a roving crop
reporter who covered all of the states from North Carolina to Florida to Arkansas.
Carlot shipment figures were not complete as the system for collecting these
daily shipments was not well established. All shipment figures prior to 1925 were in-
complete and cannot be considered accurate. As a matter of fact no statistics prior
to 192$ were anything like as complete and accurate as they are today. Remarkable
progress has been made in the collection of statistics during the last twenty years.
Back in 1924 Florida had very poor roads, just as most other states did. A great
road building program began in 1925 and has continued to this day. No one had any
any thoughts at that time of a truck transportation system for long hauls of Florida
fruits and vegetables. There were no large trailer trucks on the roads.
After the Florida real estate boom and collapse in 1925 and the improvement in
the Florida and Southern highways, the truck movement of citrus first started and it
gained impetus during the early part of the national depression in 1930-31. Many men
with no jobs started hauling fruit to large and small markets to make a living.
Vegetable movement by truck did not catch on until later.
We had a pretty good life back in 1923 even though we did not have radios or
canned or concentrated citrus, and not much income tax either. I remember back in
1925 when some of the more inventive minds in Orlando and Sanford were trying to find
some perfect method of putting up citrus segments and juice in a vacuum container in
order to preserve the real flavor of the natural fruit. They said we did not have
over-production but under-consumption of citrus and that we needed to reach the con-
sumer in the summer months when we did not have fresh fruit. In those years the
citrus season was practically over at the end of April and did not get started good
before November 15. These foresignted men saw most of the uses to which present
canned citrus and concentrates have been put but they did not realize that a less
perfect method would do. Someone came along later and canned citrus juice and seg-
ments just as canned tomatoes and juice had been put up. The canned products did not
have the natural fruit taste but they were well liked and became almost indispensable.
It has been said that drier sections of the West could never have been settled with-
out canned tomatoes as a food source, as a thirst quencher, and as a source of
vitamins. Just think how much faster and better the West could have been settled with
the aid of citrus juices. A drink of Florida citrus juice would have made even the
wildest Indian jump with joy and lay down his tomahawk. Citrus juices have replaced
tomato juice on most shelves. Citrus juices in fact have top priority among juices.
Citrus concentrates were a development during World War II to preserv r-rans-
portation space, in being sent to our service men overseas and to our ui.,' nourished
civilian allies in other lands. Concentrates gained wide popularity and Tvith constant
improvements have now become the talk of the world along with the war in Korea.

ihen I came with the State Marketing Bureau August 1929 it was just the right
time to prepare the Annual Report of the previous year's fruit and vegetable business.
At that time the report was a four-page report and I think that I Increased it to ten
pages that first year. The next year it had more pages and it has been increased year
by year as more basic information became available, until now it covers 106 pages of
tabulations without an inch of waste space. In fact, it should be spread out better
over 200 pages. The Annual Report has been a report which grew from y-ar to year just
like Topsy -- or whoever it w.as. Sometimes people ask me, "How in Heaven's name did
you ever get all those figures together?" se simply have grown old along writh the
industry and we just put our accumulated knowledge in statistical form from year to
year. We have a wonderful source of information in the Florida Crop and Livestock
Service (U.S. Bureau of Agricultural Economics), in Orlando. The head of that office,
Mr. J. C. Townsend, has been in Florida fruit and vegetables for 27 years, and in the
statistical office for almost that long. Mr. J. B. Owens, his first assistant, has
been there many years. Commissioner Neill Rhodes of this Bureau has 33 years consec-
utive service in this Bureau. I havu been in Florida fruit and vegetable marketing
information service for 26 years. Neither the U.S. Department of Agriculture or the
Florida Department of Agriculture ever relieves a man they think is doing a good job
in Florida. The U.S. Department of Agriculture recognizes, quite rightly, the import-
ance of the Florida fruit and vegetable industry. M'r. H. F. ivillson, a Federal Market
News man, who operates the Federal-State Citrus Market News service in Lak.land, has
been there for many, many years.
Florida statistics are not just statistics to us, as we have seen, and have been
a part of the events which brought on the statistics.
This leads me to say that .iy sweat and tears, if not blood, have gone into this
Annual Report for the past 21 years, and I feel a little like it's mine; and this
reminds me of a storey I heard as a boy in Svwectwater, Tennessee. The Mt. Harmony
Baptist Church was looking for a new location for a new church and decided to ask Mr.
Boiler, a well to do farmer, to donate a corner of his land. Lir. Boller replied, say-
ing he would not only give them the land but would build them a church too. Soon
afterwards there was a Sunday School convention in Chattanooga and the church asked
Mr. Boller, who was a good but not very revorcnt man, to go as one of their delegates.
He agreed to go, and did go. Ihen the moderator called the meeting to order he pro-
ceeded to introduce the delegates and ask them to stand. V.hen he came to the Monroe
County delegation he asked Mr. Boller to stand, saying, "Mr. Boiler, I understand you
belong to the Mt. Harmony Church;" whereupon 1r. Boiler replied, "Hell, nol The damn
thing belongs to me." lith that he sat down, and with this I sit down too.
HOLD EVERYTHING! A late report on Hurricane Damage.
Orlando, October 21--A preliminary report of the Bureau of Agricultural Econom-
ics of the U.S. Department of Agriculture today placed Florida citrus losses in the
hurricane of Vednesday and Thursday at from 2,500,000 to 3,000,000 boxes.
Grapefruit losses were heaviest, J. C. Towisend, statistician for the Bureau
said, with an estimated 1,500,000 to 2,000,000 boxes knocked off trees and orange
losses were estimated at 1,000,000 boxes.
The Indian River section, and Indian River County in particular, appeared to
have sustained the greatest loss, Townsend said. The State citrus crop w:ill be re-
surveyed as of November 1 and adjustments in the present estimate made in the
November 10 report.
The State's crop picture changed drastically during the week, the U.S. office
here said. Heavy rain and strong winds caught the important Pompano and Everglades
farming sections as the storm swept the length of the State from Miami to Jackson-
ville. The Federal report said planting of Fall crops was well advanced in the
Pompano section and therefore losses were quite heavy to snap beans, lima beans,
cucumbers, eggplant, pepper and squash. Most will have to be replanted.
In the Everglades, most important Fall snap bean area, loss was heavy to acreage
ready for harvest late this month and early November. Only light harvesting is ex-
pected from the surviving acreage. Reseeding started almost immediately after the
storm. Other Sections had some damage too.

INTRODUCTORY
By
Neill Rhodes
Commissioner, State Marketing Bureau
Preliminary figures of Florida Census indicate a population of nearly
2-3/4 million. If the total Florida production of fruits and vegetables, the
greater proportion shipped interstate plus home consumption, had to be marketed
within the State, the obvious solution in the minds of many to the greatest need
for disposing of such volume as indicated by Mr. Scruggs' report, would be PEOPLE.
Stretching the imagination still further, if the total Florida agricultural produc-
tion were shifted to China where the total population is estimated at 00 to 450
million people, or India and Pakistan where the population is estimated at around
420 million, in the minds of many the obvious solution to the profitable marketing
of a given Florida agricultural production would be MONEY. It might appear on first
analysis that there are either too many people or too little food, since the two are
badly out of balance, but the greatest need, were food abundant, would be the where-
withal to purchase it. The plain facts are that while the best fed nations are
becoming better fed, some of the worst-fed nations have become worse fed.
According to United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organiza-
tion, the increase of the world population is about 1 percent a year, which means
about 2 million per month, h75,000 a week, nearly 68,000 a day. The 2.3 billion
people on earth, increased by about 1 percent per year, on a world-wide basis
provides sufficient consuming population. In the United States where we have
surpluses and support programs, we also have people on relief, welfare agencies,
with plenty domestic and foreign competition. A very large segment of our own
population is unable to purchase the top grades of our products, All of our popula-
tion does not have all the food desired or needed, even though there are surpluses
of some food products. Unless the consumer has the money to purchase even the
surplus placed before him, the surplus will go begging and the consumer without.
Even if production were sufficient to abundantly feed the people of the world and
distribution facilities existed to transport world-wide production to remote barter-
ing posts, the average consumption would not increase without increased purchasing
power, or gratis disposition.
It is not easy for the farmers of Florida and much of the general American
public, who know of the United States surplus production, price levels for some of
which are dangerously near or below production cost, to realize there is not enough
food to go around in other parts of the world. UNESCO points out that half of the

(Cont'd.)

Introductory (Cont'd.)
world's people are ill-fed and undernourished; another one-sixth do not have enough
food for good nutrition, and only one-third have enough food on the average.
If all of the people were able to buy all the food that could be produced,
certainly the earth could feed the present or the future population. Given an
assured net profit sufficient to stimulate productive endeavor on all the land till-
able in Florida, the potential production possibilities of this State alone are
almost beyond estimate. Of the world's land surface of 36.,billion acres, according
to estimates given only half can be tilled, only one-tenth or about 3.6 billion
acres are under cultivation which can be made to produce 20 percent more. It is
estimated that an additional 1.3 billion acres, mostly in tropical regions, can be
opened to cultivation. Part of the sea area, 89 billion acres, of the world
contributes significantly to the food supply. The greatest new land potential lies
in the tropics, but with more already produced than can be profitably sold now
through market outlets, our growers will manifest little excitement about the
development of land in tropical regions for increasing food production. They well
remember that from 1929 to 19h1 Brazil burned 75 million bags of coffee, 1/3 of its
total output, because there was no market. They will recall that in the 1930's the
world witnessed the destruction of vast food surpluses while people starved.
Introductory to the comprehensive summary tabulations in this Annual
Report efficiently and untiringly prepared by Mr. F. H. Scruggs, covering statis-
tically so many different phases of Florida's commercial and total production of
food products, some might like to take a quick gander at the world-wide picture
which I have briefly outlined. I have also emphasized that marketing does not
depend exclusively on either production or population -- even hungry millions --
or distribution, but also on money or its purchase equivalent. Vihether we look at
global conditions or pin-point our focus upon individuals, we can find under-
nourished and ill-fed people not only in other parts of the world but also in the
United States, in our own state, county, and city. The probabilities are that you
can recall one or more in your own vicinity who do not have a sufficient diet of say
3250 calories per day.
So long as we have hungry American citizens, ve have not perfected our
system of food distribution and marketing at home, much less exports to foreign
lands. In delving into interesting data spread upon the pages following, may you
see both the "trees and the forest," in perspective of the "wilderness" overseas.

STATE MARKETING BUREAU
1949-50
ANNUAL FRUIT AND VEGETABLE REPORT
By Frank H. Scruggs, Market News Specialist

The 1949-50 season which ended officially with the July shipments was noteworthy
in one important respect and that was the unusually favorable citrus prices for the
season after disappointing sales in the fall. Most of the citrus industry had
expected a very good grapefruit year in Florida because of the considerably lower
volume in Florida, also the lower volume in Texas and Arizona as a result of freezes
the year before. The heavy demand for oranges and a reasonably good demand for grape-
fruit by the concentrators and other processors took more citrus out of fresh fruit
sales channels than had ever been taken before and at high average prices. This
improved the fresh fruit market.
The vegetable season was not exciting to the general public as we had no severe
freezes to wipe out the production. There were several light to fairly heavy frosts
in spots and there were numerous heavy rains and high winds which did considerable
damage in certain sections. We also had the dry spells which were bad at certain
times in certain sections.
Altogether the weather was as good or better than normal for vegetables. It
must have been, as we produced more carloads than ever before. This brings to mind
the city fellow who was hunting in the farm country and came to a rather wide stream
which he had to cross. He couldn't swim and he was concerned about the depth. He
spied a young boy sitting on the bank fishing and said, "Son, is this stream shallow?"
to which the boy replied, "It must be shallow;" whereupon the city huntsman jumped
into the stream, went down under a couple of times, and finally managed to get back
on the bank., He was wet, and he was made with the boy, and he said, "Dumbhead, you
said this stream was shallow." The boy said, "I didn't say it was shallow. I said
it must be shallow because I just saw a duck walk across."
This brings us up to the facts and figures for the 1949-50 season. We produced
288,357 carloads of fruits and vegetables, with a gross Florida value of i361,706,000,
or approximately $1254 per carload. The volume and price includes fruit and veg-
etables shipped out of Florida, that processed and that consumed in Florida. The
volume of 288,357 compares favorably with the record volume of 323,481 carloads in
1948-49; and the gross value of $361,706,000 in 1949-50 compares with the record high
value of $364,330,000 in the 1945-46 season. The 1935-36 season volume of 127,181
carloads with a gross value of $76,734,000 or $603 per carload shows that we have
more than doubled our production and prices. Please see page L.
If you progress to page 5 of this report you come to the f.o.b. packed value of
vegetables for the last 16 seasons. You may notice that tomatoes in 1949-50
accounted for 32 percent of the total for vegetables. A better picture which shows
acreage, yield per acre, total production and unit price, can be found on pages 81-85.
ec reserved page 6 to show the agricultural volume and value of fruits, veg-
etables, livestock, dairy and poultry and products, general field crops, nuts,
nursery and hothouse and.specialty crops. The total value for 1949-50 season or the
latest season available was $547,782,000 as compared with the previous report of
$504,951,000. We added figures for lumber, naval stores, fishery products, and
mineral production, to give you $268,877,000 and a rounded out picture of the prod-
ucts of Florida land and nearby waters, for a grand total of $816,659,000 as compared
to the previous report of $729,896,000.
Some people in Florida and in other states have no yardstick for measuring the
value of a grove. On page 7 we have set forth figures which show the value of the
average grove based on the average yield and the average gross return per box on
fruit sold for all purposes.
We do not think it advisable to buy a grove solely on the record it had the
previous year. Crop volumes in other states and many other factors enter into the
calculations. The study of page 7 will help anyone who wishes to know more about
grove values. We have been told that, so it must be so.

Page 2.
Two pages to which the writer has to refer most during the year are pages 8 and
9, showing the disposition and the gross and net values of citrus.
Following you will find a disposition tabulation for vegetables. We do not
recommend these figures as we had to make too many estimates and compromises to make
our component parts equal the total production figures supplied by other sources.
Pages 12-15 are devoted to the shipments by months, and pages 16-19 by years
for the various means of transportation. Our total carlot shipment of 166, 57 in
1949-50 was higher than any previous season except that of 1948-49 when we had
187,030 carloads.
Rail shipments by counties are next shown. It should be pointed out that one
county may have some of its production shipped from, and credited to another county.
Truck shipments of vegetables by weeks are shown on pages 24-25 and it is the
best means of seeing when the season begins and ends, and the volume between.
For those of you who use comparative acreage and production citrus figures for
Florida, California, Texas and Arizona, pages 26-27 will be of interest.
We have prepared or reproduced some very interesting information on citrus
concentrates and canned products on pages 28-31. We have a lot of inquiries on this.
On pages 32-37 can be found, if you look, comprehensive citrus shipment and
value figures for the last 23 seasons. These figures are followed by citrus auction
prices in 10 markets for all of the seasons beginning in 1932-33.
Inasmuch as canners and processors take so much of our fruit it should be
interesting to compare the 1949-50 prices with those for preceding years. iW have
these prices by months beginning in the 1941-42 season. We do not have them for prior
years. See page 43; also see Citrus Price Analysis on page 44.
We have the estimated cost from tree to auction on page 16. We inadvertently
omitted the details of marketing charges for the 1949-50 season. We make a good many
mis takes but we generally have to wait for someone to tell us about them. We some-
times get both dizzy and woozy before we get through with all these figures. In the
lower tabulation the initials RBT means Rail, Boat, and Truck, if anyone is in doubt
about it. Truck shipments did not play much of a part in carload movement to auctions
prior to 1946-47 season..See pages 46-47.
We have truck and rail distribution of citrus to other states on pages 48-49 but
we have no present way of obtaining similar accurate information for vegetables.
POULTRY AND EGGS
Although many of our readers may be interested only in fruits and vegetables,
we have other agricultural business in Florida. De have a good size poultry business
and on pages 50-53 are the prices of eggs, hens and fryers in Jacksonville, Tampa,
Miami and Orlando. Yes, we have worries other than fruits and vegetables. All of
these price quotations are made by representatives of the State Marketing Bureau and
play an important part in the marketing of poultry and eggs. Our quotations serve as
the basis of trading and we get plenty of grief. This work is really ulcerating at
times. Vhile pondering the subject of poultry please turn to pages 102-103, which
will show you where the poultry and eggs come from. Ve positively do not know which
came first.
The production and values of Florida field crops are not neglected, as you can
see on pages 54-57. The two following pages are devoted to tobacco. I would like to
tell you the story of the tobacco farmer who was figuring 2- percent of $6500 but
space vill not permit. He got some unexpected and interesting assistance, as well as
a new car.
Detailed figures for acreage, yield, products, and value of vegetables and
miscellaneous fruits can be found on pages 60-70. The acreage by counties and
commodities is included, and on pages 72-80 follow fruit and vegetable acreages by
commodities and counties. We give it to you both ways. More of the same on pages
81-87.
LIVESTOCK
Our livestock industry is very important and is growing every day, month and
year. We now may have more good bulls than good men -- that is, with pedigrees. We
have 14 pages of the livestock facts and figures. Florida has 2,243,000 head of
livestock, with a gross farm value of $128,329,000 after sales in 1949 amounting to
$45,576,000. Florida livestock has a great future and has been showing remarkable
growth during the past twenty years with accelerated growth during past ten years.

Page 3.
We have devoted page 10, to avocados and limes for the benefit of the agri-
cultural students and economists. They have in the past asked for those figures.
Page 105 was used to show the inspections of citrus for rail and truck shipment
in the various counties. The actual shipments were substantially the same as the
inspections for shipment, which included intrastate as well as interstate. Most, if
not all of these inspections were made at packing houses. Some fruit may be grown
in one county and Nauled to a packing house in another county, perhaps just a short
distance away. At times fruit may go a long distance, 100--150 miles from one county
to a packing house in another county. Once a truck is loaded in the grove it's only
a matter of two or three hours more time and more gasoline to go to a packing house
100-150 miles away. On page 105 we also show the passing of citrus through the
various Florida Citrus Road Guard Stations.
The Federal-State Inspection service in Florida inspected a total of 155,256
carloads of commodities. See page 6.
CITRUS
ORANGES: Our production of 58,500,000 boxes in 1949-50 was almost equalled in
1947-48 and in 1948-49, but not exceeded. Polk, Orange, Lake, Hillsborc, and Volusia
are the leading orange counties, according to bearing acreage.
GRAPEFRUIT: The production of 24,200,000 boxes in 1949-50 has been exceeded in
every year since the end of V.orld var II. The record production was the 1903-h4
season with 31,000,000. Polk, Pinellas, Lake, Indian River, and St. Lucie are the
leading counties in point of acreage.
TANGERINES: The tangerine production in 1949-50 was estimated at 5,000,000 boxes,
which was higher than any previous .season. Leading counties were Polk, Orange, Lake,
Volusia, and Hillsboro.
ALL CITRUS: The leading counties in point of orange, grapefruit, and tangerine
acreage were: Polk, Orange, Lake, Hillsboro, Pinellas, Brevard, Volusia, St. Lucie,
Highlands, and Indian River.
VEGETABLES

We estimate that the 10 income as shown above on oranges will actually yield 7% and the 13 will actually yield around
10o. It is doubtful if a prudent investor would buy a grove risk with a near term expectation of less than 10% net
above all costs. High prices paid by processors account for1 949-50 citrus prosperity.

NOTE: Gross refers to returns FO' cars Florida shipping points, and net refers to returns to growers or fruit ovnerr
before deducting for interest and grove taxes, but after deducting for cost of production and marketing.
1: Trucked out shipment figures were based on inspections certified for interstate r~-ovemnnt. Road Guard Stations for
checking were open October 16 thru June 17. August 1-31, October 1-31, June 16-30, ond July 1-31 wcre estimated.
2: Cannery fruit aepreseuLs average gross price at cannery door, and the net price is the gross less the estimated
picking, Iauling, and other marketing charges.
3: Figures for Consumed in Florida are rough estimates based on population, prices, etc. Any person who does not
approve this home consumption estimate may rake his own estimate, but this volume, which is probably under
estimated, has to be counted. This locally consumed volume of citrus includes packed, unpacked, inspected and
uninspected. No study of local or Florida consumption of fresh citrus has cver been made.

(Pages 10 and 11). There is considerable difficulty in working out a detailed disposition sheet for vegetables and
miscellaneous fruits as comprehensive data is not as available as for citrus. It was advisable to try to use'the U.S. Depart-
ment of Agriculture estimate of total production and work back from there. We have the records on the truck shipments out of
State, which figures are used. We have the records on straight freight .and boat for most of the individual co-mmodities. IWe
had only the totals for mixed freight and LCL express. The Florida consumption figures are only estimates. Vfe had to
apportion the mixed freight and mixed express totals as best we could tb the various commodities with the handicap of trying
to make all of the separate totals check with the total official crop estimate.

..g. e gs Iu ana 11). An additional problem was the disposition of the volume of radishes, cauliflower, carrots, spinach,
broccoli, endive, etc., included in the miscellaneous figures for vegetables. Miscellaneous fruits included mangoes, grapes,
guavas, persimmons, pears, blueberries, etc. # Ordinarily units of different kinds are not added but if the 50# sack is used
for cabbage, instead of tons, and the number of watermelons are divided by two to get a crate, we find that all of the units
are bushels or the near equivalent of bushels, with the exception of citrus which are in 1-3/5 bushel boxes. I# Abandoned
because of market conditions and not included in the gross FOB Florida value. The estimated gross includes the production,
marketing costs, and packing costs if packed, and profit, if any. Some truck passing in packages have been changed to
better reflect comparisons with rail loadings.
Are those tabulations any good to you? They are very troublesome for us.

GROWTH IN OUTPUT OF FROZEN CONCENTRATED CITRUS JUICES Page 29
From The Fruit Situation, U.S.D.A., June, 1950
Started on a small scale in 1945-46, production of frozen concentrated orange
juice has since increased rapidly to become a major outlet for oranges. The early
success achieved with oranges has led to the more recent manufacture of frozen
concentrated grapefruit juice; blended orange and grapefruit juice, and even lemon-
ade. Among non-citrus juices, frozen concentrated grape juice is also being manufac-
tured commercially. Experiments are being carried on with other fruit juices.
Commercial manufacture of frozen concentrated orange juice began in Florida in
1945-46, when about 226,000 gallons of 4 to 1 concentrate were produced (see accom-
panying table). Production in this State more than doubled in 1946-47. The orange
concentrate made in these two seasons was distributed largely thru the hotel,
restaurant, and soda fountain trades, where response was so favorable as to point to
its widespread use by household consumers.

Production of orange concentrate in California did not get started until 1947-48,
and the combined output of this State and Florida more than quadrupled that of
Florida in 1946-47. Output again expanded greatly in 1948-49, amounting to more than
five times that of the preceding season. Of the 12.2 million gallons produced in
1948-49, over 10 million were made in Florida and nearly 2 million in California and
Arizona. The-frozen orange concentrate manufactured during the 1947-48 and 1948-49
seasons was packed mainly in 6-ounce cans for sale by retail stores.
Manufacture of frozen concentrated orange juice in Florida in the 1949-50
season, now about completed, is more than double the 1948-49 output. Thru June 17
this season over 21 million gallons were produced in that State. Production in
California and Arizona, drawing from the Valencia crop, will run thru the summer and
also may double the preceding year's output.
Production of frozen citrus concentrate was extended to grapefruit juice in
1947-48, when 402 gallons were made in Florida. In 1948-49 production was over
116,000 gallons, and in 1949-50 it again increased sharply to about 1,582,000 gallons.
In 1948-49 nearly 112,000 gallons of frozen concentrated blended orange and grape-
fruit juice were made in Florida, and in 1949-50 output soared to about 1,290,000
gallons.
The amazing growth in output of frozen citrus concentrate over the past five
years stands out as a record that can be matched by few other industries. Output
during the fourth year of operation was more than 50 times that of the first year,
and output during the fifth year probably will be about 100 times. In 19145-46, the
first year of manufacture, frozen orange concentrate provided an outlet for about
one-fifth of 1 percent of the orange crop of the United States. In 1948-49, the
fourth year, it took about 10 million boxes of oranges or 10 percent of the crop.
Canning took about 30 percent of the 1948-49 orange crop, and fresh use accounted for
nearly 60 percent. This frozen concentrate outlet is expected to take about 20

Page 30
GROWTH IN OUTPUT OF FROZEN CONCENTRATED CITRUS JUICES (Cont'd.)
percent of the 1949-50 orange crop and about 5 percent of th. gr.ap.-fr-it crop. L.ith
the 1949-50 orange season in Florida nearly completed in mid-Jurne, frozen orange
concentrate took about 31 percent of the Floridu qrangr'z, cannirLn about 29 percent
and freshuse about 40 percent. Of the 1948-49 crop in Florida, these tU-iree uses took
1h, 32, and Sh percent, respectively.
In 1948-49, the last full season of production, the 12 million gallons of L to 1
frozen orange concentrate were equivalent to about 48 million gallons of single-
strength orange juice, or about lh million cases of 24 No. 2 cans. In the same
season, the canned pack of orange juice amounted to about I1 ii.hllion cases of 2L d!o.
2 cans, that of blended orange and grapefruit juice to 11 mi_iion cases, and that of
grapefruit juice to 14 million cases.
Although part of the increasing output of frozen concentrated citrus juices has
been utilized in filling the broadening channels of the distributive trade, most of
the production has quickly moved into consumption. Per car.pi:a consumption of frozen-
orange concentrate during the 19h8-h9 season was nearly 3 crunds, single-strength
basis.- In the same season, per capital consumption of canned single-strength orange
juice was about 4 pounds, and that of all canned citrus juices combined was about
10.7 pounds. The increase in consumption of the frozen orange concentrate in the
1948-49 season about offset a decrease in canned citrus juices.
With the growth in output and popularity of the frozen citrus concentrate,
distribution of the product has become more widespread. A nationwide survey
conducted in 1949 by Industrial Surveys Co., Inc., for the United States Department
of Agriculture revealed that frozen concentrated orange juice was being handled by a
sharply increasing percentage of retail stores. Of the stores surveyed about 17
percent carried the product in April, 24 percent in August, and 31 percent in
November, 1949. In contrast, 84 percent of the stores carried canned orange juice
in November 1949. This survey showed that the frozen orange concentrate was least
available in stores doing a relatively small volume of business, in stores located
in small cities and towns, and in stores in the South. But even among such stores,
the percentage carrying the frozen orange concentrate doubled during 1949.
More than twice as many household consumers purchased frozen concentrated
orange juice in April 1950 than in April 1949, according to a survey of a national
sample of household consumers conducted by the above company. The proportion (14
percent) of consumers who bought the product in April 1950 was the highest so far
recorded. Such consumers were reported to have paid an average of 27.8 cents per
6-ounce can, compared with 24.2 cents in April 1949. Diluted to single strength,
the juice cost a little over 1 cent per ounce, a cost in line with that of other
fruit juices.
Frozen concentrated citrus juice is manufactured by a process developed by the
Florida Citrus Commission and the United States Department of Agriculture. In making
the orange product, for example, fresh orange juice is passed thru a low temperature,_
high vacuum evaporating system, which moves enough water to reduce the juice to about
one-sixth its original volume. This product is then mixed with about half as much
fresh juice, giving a h to 1 concentrate (420 Brix). The fresh juice tends to
restore the original fresh flavor. The concentrate is then chilled to a slush,
sealed in cans, and frozen to zero or lower. It is stored at zero until sold. The
exact process of manufacture varies with the sugar-acid ratio, percentage solids in
the juice, and other factors. In preparing the concentrate for the table, it is
mixed with three times as much cold water, which brings it back to single strength.
In this form, it cannot easily be distinguished, if at all, from fresh orange juice.
The astounding growth of the frozen orange concentrate industry is the result
largely of the favorable reception accorded the new product by consumers. The ease
and quickness with which the new juice could be prepared for consumption and its
fresh-like flavor together with prices in line with those of other fruit juices
rapidly won it a place on the breakfast menu. On the production end, the cost of
tin cans was less than one-fourth the cost of packing an equivalent,amount of single-
strength juice in 18-ounce cans. Less storage space was required and the smaller

Page 31
GROV.TH IN OUTPUT OF FROZEN CONCENTRATED CITRUS JUICE (Cont'd.)
volume ccuLd be transported at a considerable saving. Expansion in production,
distribution, and hence consumption has grown with the construction of ncw
concentrating plants, installation of frozen food cabinets in retail stores, and
more and better refrigerators in homes. For the same reasons, further expansion in
production and consumption seems likely.
T;ith increased plant capacity, production in Florida reached a peak weekly out-
put of more than 1.3 million gallons of frozen orange concentrate in the 1949-50
season. Additional plants will be available in California this summer to process
Valencia oranges, and the first plant in Texas will be ready next winter to handle
Texas citrus fruits. However, the period of rapid growth in the industry may soon
be over, leaving the frozen citrus concentrate firmly established as an important
outlet for citrus fruits. (END)

PREVENTABLE LIVESTOCK LOSSFS

It is difficult to make a statement as to the exact losses incurred to live-
stock in the USA as it involves (l)bruises, injuries, cripples and deaths on the
farm, to market, in yards, and at packing plants. It is estimated that bruises and
injuries take a toll of about 414,000,000 annually(USA),and possibly .450,000 in
Florida annually. (2) External and internal pCarasite damage is very difficult to
arrive at; but would probably be near $15,000,000(USA) an.d possibly 4500,000 in
Florida. (3) The loss in calf and pig crop from malnutrition, improper feeding,care
and management at birth and during the feed period possibly amounts to in Florida
some $4,000,000 annually on hogs and possibly $5,000,000 on cattle due to low crop
of pigs and calves born and raised. The calf crop has been from 57 to 640 avnually
when it should have been- 85% or more. The number of pigs -raised. is about 60% of the
total born. thesee losses could and should be corrected.
These losses happen (1) on the farm,(2)in transit,(3)at public markets and(4)
at slaughtering plants. They are caused by 'inferior breeding stock as to bone, con-
formation, quality and ability to finish. Often it is caused by lack of suitable
minerals,- protein supplements combined with sufficient good feed and grazing crops
to keep the animals thrifty and growing.
Animals should be given the proper amount of feeds to properly devclop them.
Grazing crops make up a large portion of the low cost feeds and these crops are
very important as they help to reduce losses from parasites by (1) cutting the
mortality rate,(2)reducing the parasitic infcction,(3)improving general thriftiness
of the animal; at the same time tiese grazing crops help to prevent(l) waste in
time,(2) waste in feed,(3) waste of animal life and.(4) waste of. income.
Some of the biggest losses are caused by(l) defective shipping equipment such
as broken boards, protruding nails,holes in the floor in cars and trucks and non-
installed bull-boards in cars,otc;(2) poor bod-ding(and there is only one good bedd-
ing- 4 inches of sand);(3) elubs,prod-poles, sharp corners, unnecessary obstructions
in the feed lots and yards;(4) slippery footing, rush loading, ovurcrowding;(5)loss
of temper, sharp horns on cattle, sharp tusks on hogs; (6) internal injuries caused
by swallowcd-wire, feeding clips, etc;(7) preventable diseases such .Ls T.B.,Bang's,
blackleg, anthrax, cholera, etc; (8) poor feed conditions due to lack of balanced
diet(lack of mineral and protein supplements,etc.)-resulting in (maciation, reduced
calf, pig or lamb crop, and often resulting in death prior to, during and efter ship-
ments;(9) shipping-colds or shipping-fever caused by insanitary conditions often pro-
duced by 4-overs- Over-fatigue, over-exposure,over-crowding and over-filling;(l0)
insanitary conditions resulting in the production of a number of species of worms in
cattle, hogs, sheep,poultry,etc.,and the loss of thousands of dollars in livers,
kidneys and casings;(ll) the lack of good shipping equipment including corrals,
chutes, squeezes, loading and unloading pons;(12)the lack of shade and wrater;(l3)
irregular driving speed or jerky driving, and taking curves too fast;(14) mixing
species in loads, such as horses, cattle, hogs,and sheep, and/or mixing classes,
such as cows, steers, heifers, calves and bulls, or mixing a class within a load
where there is a great difference in age,condition or weight;(15) not stopping for
rest and water often enough to preclude "downers", and if "downers" occur get them
up on their feet as soon as possible to prevent trampling; and(16) or other means
which may lessen the comfort and/or add to the losses from bruises, injuries,
cripples and deaths.
Many of these losses can be prevented by(l) feeding mineral for strength of
bone to help carry the animal to market,(2) sufficient protein to properly balance
the feed and to give strength,(3)by providing sufficient feeds to properly grow out
the animal,(4) by proper care and management practices and >5) by exercising proper
care, good judgment and practices 'at shipping time. Other-practices include adequate
feeding trough and feed rack space when feeding, comfortable shelters, dehorning of
calves destined for feed lots, ample and convenient sorting pens or corrals and
chutes and loading facilities on the farm 'and at shipping point. It is important to
see that the equipment used in transportation is in good condition,free of nails,

broken boards, wire, or otnor sharp objects; avoid striking and kicking of animals.
If one decides to kick an animal, let him first remove his shoe. Do not fod just
prior to shipment and water sparingly. Handle animals quietly -not in h'.sto or
excitement; segregate classes within a species br 'do not ship bulls and cows nil
calves in the same c ar unless amply nartitioncd. Likewise do not ship cattle end
hogs and/or calves mixed in trucks or cars except pc.rtitioncd. Use 3 to 4 inches
of sand as bedding, never use sawdust cr straw as it may cause slipping. Do not
overcrowd, overheat, overtax or overload. Use canvas slappers but ncver use cl,'bs
or canes. -Slow dovw on sharp curves and do not start or stop suddenly.
Losses from disease and foreign objects take a tremendous toll. Gr. ater
sanitary conditions will help eliminate waste r.t market time. All breeding animals
should be tested for Bang's, and Tuberculosis, and calves treated for Blackleg and
pigs for Cholera. Often shipped cattle will rapidly overcome shipping colds if they
are given one pound of baking soda to 12 gallons of water for cattle to drink when
unloaded or after they have had time to eat some hay after unloading. Insanitary
conditions lead to increased tuberculosis among hogs, cattle and sheep, and increase
worrms in cattle, hogs and sheep. Poricarditis (puncture of heart or heart membrane
by foreign objects) causing death, occurs by wires, nails, stones, clips, and other
foreign objects often found in feeds. Be chrcful in this respect.

Internal anrd external parasites take a tremendous toll. Each producer should
have Agricultural Year Book,1942,"Kcoping Livestock H:oalthy". rite U.S.Senator.
Shipping fever is generally caused by (1)over-fatigue; (2)over-exposure,(3)
over-crowding,(4)ovcr-filling. The use of baking soda as outlined above as the
first vwtor after being unloaded will do much to preclude shipping fever and/or over-
come it. The amount of soda may be reduced gradually until after a period of 4 or 5
days they .re on water without it. The length of time the soda would be given would
depend on how serious the cold. All cattle destined for feed lots should have it
when unloaded. If the cold is not. serious, do net give-them soda Iw.ter over 1 to 2
days. If the cold is serious, animals should be isolated from others and treated
until over the cold,and/or see your Vetcrinarian.
Grubs in cattle arc caused by heel flies, warbles, and/or cattle grubs. They
are causing from .41 to $3 a head loss annually wherever the grubs are found.

Improper branding of hides or branding on the upper portion of the animal's
body where the higher prices of the hide are found, decreased the value of cattle
hides and calf skins from 1 to 3# per lb.,depending upon the location and extent
of the brand.

In loading cattle one should keep in mind that the length of the car,average
weight per head, the condition of the animal, etc. has much to do with the number
of head loaded per car. If cattle or calves are in good condition,normally it will
take about 56 head of 300 lbs.weight each or 45 head of 400 lbs. each or 40 head
of 500 lbs. each, 36 head of 600 lbs. each, 31 head of 700 lbs. each, 28 head of
800 lbs. each, 25 head of 900 lbs:. each or 22 head of 1,000 lbs. each to fill and/or
properly load a 36 ft. car. Normally a 40 ft. car would carry about 2500 lbs.live
weight more than the 36 ft. car. Thinand/or emaciated cattle must be loaded
according to condition. It is difficult to s"to how many such cattle can be loaded
in a car. One must therefore take into account condition of animals when dctermin-
ing the number to lc:.d'in the car, or,the length of the 'car, condition of the
animal, average weight per head, and other factors will help to determine how many
animals to load in car. One should not overload but should load snugly-not tight.
Hogs: 80 hogs 200 lbs or 90 hogs 160 Ibs or 16,000 lbs fat hogs will fill 36 ft car.
Every producer should know grades of livestock and should sell by grade and
weight. Some benefits of classifying and grading are animals can be sold accord-
ing to their value, will be accepted by buyers when not present, can be accurately
reported as Market News, be a guide for production, breeding and feeding operations,
makes for comparisons of markets by grade and price, and provides the basis for
statistical study of supplies, demand, prices, and movement.

POINTS IN 1. BEEF CATTLE PROGRAM FOR FLORIDA
(1) Rnew desirable animals as to conformation, type and quality and the productive breeding history of each animal.
In cows select good milkers, thrifty and good doers. Cull out shy-breeders, bad udders, poor conformation and quality,
unthrifty and slow growing kind. Cows should be fast breeders and have a tendency to calve each year,- be docile.
(2) The bulls should be better than the best cow in the cow herd be highly desirable in conformation and quality,have
natural ability to grow fast, docile yet a hustler. (3) Heifers should not be bred until 2 years old but before 3 yrs
old. (4) In buying, buy off of farms and/or thru facilities which are kept clean of disease and parasites. Keep a clean
herd or test regularly for Bangs and TB and inoculate for Blackleg. (5) Segregate classes in pastures according to
purpose,- have pastures (a) for bulls, (b) for the breeding herd, (c) for steers, (d) for heifers not breedable age,ctc.
(e) Steers of different weights should be separated by groups so not over 150 Ibs. in extreme weights.(6) Provide
plenty of feed as pastures, cakes and pellets.(7)Go after and get a calf crop.(8)Eliminate bruises & use best markets.
