AC K N OWLEDGMENT

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, boat 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, Mr.
Paul Shuler, Mr. F. T. Galloway, Agricultural Statisticians, and Mr. G. N.
Rose, Truck Crop Statistician, U.S. Bureau of Agricultural Economics, 302
Post Office 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 inspec-
tions for the season. The daily reports from Road Guard Stations, operated
by the Citrus and Vegetable Division, showing passing of fruits and veg-
etales, were very helpful to shippers and growers throughout the season and
for record purposes in this report.

Mr. H. F. Willson, Federal-State Citrus Market 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 Mutual, Lakeland,
wholeheartedly complied with our requests for much specific citrus informa-
tion. Much of this information would be difficult to obtain from other
sources.

Mr. James T. Duncan supplied some very useful rail and truck rate
tabulations for this report. Mr. Duncan is Manager, Traffic Division, Florida
Fruit and Vegetable Association, 01Ol East Colonial Avenue, Orlando, Florida,
Phone 3-2558.

Miss Dena Snodgrass, Research Analyist, State Chamber of Commerce,
supplied certain miscellaneous statistics on Specialty Crops and general
statistics. Her office is in the Hildebrandt Building, Jacksonville, Florida.

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 several
important pages in this report. Mr. Gifford N. Rhodes, Specialist, Livestock
Market News, and Mr. F. W. Risher, Specialist, Dairy and Poultry Products, of
this Bureau, supplied several pages of good livestock and poultry information.

INTRODUCTORY

Since 1929 Mr. F. H. Scruggs has served the Florida State Marketing

Bureau as Market News Specialist. The Annual Fruit and Vegetable Reports of

the Bureau since 1929 have been prepared by Mr. Scruggs. The demand for the

reports proves their usefulness to the agricultural industry of Florida.

Neither Mr. Scruggs nor the Annual Report therefore needs introduction to

those who request and well use this finished product of his tireless, capable

efforts.

It is appropriate to introduce here a veteran in Federal and

Federal-State Market News service, but a newcomer to the Bureau staff, Mr.

Elmo F. Scarborough, Assistant to Mr. Scruggs in Fruit and Vegetable Market

News work, and Collaborator in the 1952-53 report. Mr. Scarborough holds

B.S. degree in Horticulture, Iowa State College. He served the U.S.D.A.

Market News division in Chicago, Detroit, Cincinnati, Baltimore, and New York

City markets, and as local representative in Market News field offices,

representing numerous shipping areas in North Carolina, Georgia, and West

Virginia (four state area), and Florida Federal-State Market News service for

vegetables in the shipping-point areas of Sanford, Belle Glade, Plant City,

and Leesburg, including f.o.b. coverage for many other points. Mr. Scar-

borough prepared the summaries for the various Florida Federal-State Market

News field offices of which he was in charge, covering all the important veg-

etables in the principal production areas of the state, and he represented the

Florida Citrus Commission in Cincinnati, 1952-53 season. His experience

qualifies him as "made-to-order" for assisting Mr. Scruggs in preparing this,

the 1952-53 Fruit and Vegetable Report of the Florida State Marketing Bureau.

Together they have prepared for your benefit an Annual Report which I think

stands out as the best we have released thus far. So, folks, shake hands with

Mr. Scruggs and meet Mr. Scarborough.

ANNUAL FRUIT AND VEGETABLE REPORT
By: Frank H. Scruggs, Market News Specialist
Elmo F. Scarborough, Asst. Market iJews Specialist
SUMMARY
The total gross value of Florida fruits and vegetables was again outstanding
during 1952-53 with citrus leading horticultural products to a sum of $375,974,000.
Citrus fruit was noteworthy from a production standpoint with profits satisfactory.
Vegetable production was high but still under that of both the 1951-52 and 1950-51
seasons. Vegetable prices were irregular with respect to individual commo-uiy.
Miscellaneous fruits showed a slight increase in production and gross value-
FRUIT AND VEGETABLE PRODUCTION HIGH 1952-53 SEASON
The total production in terms of carloads vas 364,215 as compared to 373,599
in 1951-52, and the gross Florida f.o.b. value of $375,97h,000 compared to $367,136,000
for the 1951-52 season, Fruit and vegetable carload shipments in 1952-53 ranged from
30,000 to 150,000 carloads more than were shipped in any specific growing year during
the past ten, exclusive of the 1951-52 season.
The vegetable volume of 112,948 carloads with a gross fo,b. value of
$137,587,000 averages out $1218 per car compared with 41382 per car gross of 1951-52.
Miscellaneous fruits with a volume of 31,233 carloads and a gross value of .'19,558,000
was favorable. The citrus gross value was $218,829,000 compared with the 4190,123,000
of 1951-52 season. This was the third consecutive year citrus production has been
over 100,000,000 boxes,
The 1952-53 gross value of the 375 million dollar Florida fruit and Veg-
etable industry shows that citrus represents 58.2% of the gross while vegetables
accounted for 36.6% of the gross, and miscellaneous fruits such as strawberries, water-
melons, and tropical fruits constitute 5.2% of the gross sum.
CITRUS NET RETURNS AND PROCESSING PRICES UP 1952-53
Retail consumption of over a million gallons weekly for orange juice concen-
trate was most indicative of the important role juice played in the utilization of the
1952-53 citrus crop. High consumption of processed juice aided by a well constructed
fresh market program kept prices at a very favorable level. Net returns for all citrus
was 60 cents per box as contrasted to the low of 27 cents per box of 1951-52. However,
the 1952-53 net returns were slightly lower than the 1950-51 net of 82 cents.
Citrus for processing had a gross value of ,836857,519 compared with the
1951-52 season gross value of .45,.933,756. Canners paid 1,.80 per box for fresh
oranges used in concentrating compared with $l.11 of the previous season. Processors
used 62 million boxes of fresh fruit this season compared with 61.8 million boxes of
the 1951-52 season. The striking thing these figures do not bring out is that there is
little of the 1952-53 processed pack expected to be carried over to the coining season
while there was an ample supply carried over into the next season from the juice pack
of 1951-52.
DISPOSITION OF THE 1952-53 FRUIT AND VEGETABLE CROP
This crop was less in volume than the 1951-52 crop by 10,344hh carloads but
brought in 0.8,838,000 more- The carload equivalent value was ?1034 as compared to 982
for 1951-52 season. The volume and values shown above included the portion of the
crops processed for local and out-of-state shipment as well as the fresh fruits and
vegetables consumed within Florida.
Acreage planted for vegetables amounting to 333,725 was 11,295 acres above
1951-52 while the acreage harvested was only 4395 higher than the 309,230 acres
harvested in 1951-52. Acreage lost because of crop failure or weather conditions was
20,100 as compared to 13,200 acres in 1951-52,
Yields per acre were generally less than in 1951-52 season. Beans, corn,
and escarole-endive were exceptions with plus signs. Cabbage, cucumbers and lettuce
yields were about the same as for 1951-52. Limas, eggplant, peppers, tomatoes and
cauliflower yields were less than in 1951-52.

Page 2
We always have to abandon some vegetables which have reached or nearly
reached maturity because of unprofitable market conditions present. A total of 75,000
bushels of beans were abandoned along with 324,000 bushels of potatoes and 47,000 tons
of caobage. A large majority of vegetables sold at a lower price f.o.b. than for the
1951-52 season. The exceptions were beans, limas, corn. Cabbage prices were only
030.10 per ton as compared to 362.50 for 1951-12. Potatoes at ,1.58 per bushel were
much less than 42.43 for the 1951-52 season. Cucumbers, eggplant, peppers, tomatoes
and cauliflower were considerably less per package.
New citrus acreage comes into bearing stage each year much faster than old
trees are pulled out. We now have revised acreage figures showing 433,693 in 1950-51,
449,220 in 1951-52, and 462,316 acres as of October 1, 1)53. That represents an
increase of nearly 29,123 acres. Most cf this represents actual acreage which came
into bearing but some of it may be due to revision of estimates considered too low.
More increases are in prospect for the coming year, and most of this increase is in
oranges. Citrus yields per acre were estimated at 237 boxes per acre as compared to
265 in 1951-52 season. Nc citrus was abandoned because of marketing conditions.
Citrus processed or canned accounted for 124,001 of the 219,452 carloads
produced. Freight and express accounted for 4h,316, trucked out 39,341, and Florida
consumed 11,506 carloads. More may be said about processed volume under another subject.
There were no outstanding changes in the disposition of fruits and vegetables
for the last two seasons. See pages 8 and 9 for more details. (The cucumber carloads
by truck should be 5892 instead of 3892 but the respective totals are unchanged.)
The volume of watermelons and miscellaneous fruits in 1952-53 was 31,233 car-
loads as compared to 26,105 for 1951-52 season. Watermelons accounted for all cf this
increase.
CHANGES IN AGRICULTURAL INCOME SINCE 1939
On page 128 you will find a comprehensive tabulation showing the comparison
of values for the past lh years. Inflation has accounted for most if not all of the
increase but the actual increase in dollars was more than two-fold. Page 5 shows fruit
and vegetable comparisons for 20 years.
In 1939-40 season we had a fruit and vegetable crop which grossed "93,104,000
but the value has increased to 4375,974,000 for '51-52.in 1939-40 we had a volume of
184,563 carloads with a gross f.o.b. value of ,93,104,000 or -504 per carload. The
1952-53 volume was 364,215 carloads worth 4375,974,000, or ?1032 per carload. The
value of total production carload is only slightly over double what it was in 1939-40
season. Inflation of the dollar takes care of this increase in value. In 1939-40 we
had a gross value of 450 for production carloads. Suppose the cost of producing and
marketing were 4$50 per carload, leaving a net of *45$.00. Suppose further that it cost
$900 to produce and market a carload in 1952-53. This would leave a net of $132. Most
of us would take the 4132 instead of the .454 as we like to have more dollars. It's a
nice way to kid yourself.
We have more detailed figures on citrus so we will make a few similar compar-
isons. For 1939-40 season we had a crop of 42,973,000 -oxes with a gross value of
$1.17. The production and marketing cost was estimated at ,1.05, leaving a net of
120. For 1952-53 we had a crop of 109,600,000 boxes with a gross of 42.05 per box.
Cost was 41.45, leaving a net of 600. The gross increased 75 per cent, the cost of
producing and marketing 38 per cent, and the net o00 per cent. One season is not much
of a swallow, however. If we consider the average for 1939-40, 1940-4l and 1941-42 as
compared to the last three seasons we find that gross per box increased around 47 per
cent, cost of production around 34 per cent, and net around 146 per cent. All of these
figures included the canned, processed and locally consumed fruits and vegetables and
not just the commercially shipped portion.
It may be well to note that Florida's officially reported citrus acreage was
332,500 in 1939-4O as compared to 462,816 acres in 1952-53. The yield per acre in
1939-40 was estimated at 132 boxes while in 1952-53 the yield had increased to 237
boxes. The net return per acre in 1939-40 was almost ,16,00, while in 1952-53 it was
estimated at $14l per acre for all citrus. The increased yield per acre as well as the
increased value per box has made citrus much more profitable than it was immediately
before the war. (The 462,816 acres for 1952-53 is revised from the 449,216 figure.)

Page 3
The difference in vegetable yields per acre over a 12-1L year period have
been interesting. Bean, lima, eggplant and pepper yields are just about the same.
Cabbage yields have increased about 55 per cent, celery about 30 per cent, cucumbers
above 50 per cent, potatoes 72 per cent, and tomatoes about 70 per cent. Vegetable
yields fluctuate, sometimes widely from year tc year, but the increases noted are on
long time basis. See pages .2-56.
AC.2AGZE CREASES
Most of the vegetables show satisfactory increases over those prevailing
before the war. Cucumber acreage has increased U3 per cent, peppers 82 per cent,
potatoes 35 per cent, tomatoes 72 per cent, celery 20 per cent, eggplant 80 per cent,
watermelons 233 per cent. The melon acreage was 86,000 in 1952-53, which was 13,000
above the previous year, when there was a record 68,030 acres.
Beans, which is one of the major crops with 65,400 acres, has shown an
increase of 30 per cent over pre-war, but the acreage has decreased a little during the
last 10 years.
Table corn as we now know it was not even in the picture l years ago.
Practically all of the progress has been made during the 7 years of plenty. In 1947-48
we had only 6,000 acres but now we have nore than 30.000, a 400 per cent increase.
Cauliflower acreage has shown a 275 per cent increase but the volume is still
very light.
Carrots can't get started so far. Competition from other States has been too
stiff.
Escarole acreage may be more than holding its cn,,. but endive, its close
relative, is making very fine progress.
Most of the people have forgotten that Florida used to grow more than 150,000
bushels of peas. Good frozen peas have just aoout ruined the fresh market for
California, Mexico, Florida and some other States.
Squash acreage has increased about 20 per cent in the last five seasons but
it is still a minor crop in Florida and other States,
Radish acreage has increased very fast in the past five years but there are
no official acreage figures. A careful estimate indicates aoout 7,000 acres planted
during the 1952-53 season. Truck shipments are much heavier than two or three years
ago. Radishes are planted several times each season, much of the time on the same
ground.
Getting back to Florida's agricultural values over the last 14 years, cattle,
calves, hogs, pigs and other livestock was valued at }10,224,000 in 1939 and $63,446,000
in 1952-53, an increase of 520 per cent.
Milk, poultry and eggs valued at $31,679,000 in 1939 increased 116 per cent
to .68,488,000 in 1952.
Field crops increased from ,21,239,000 to 70,2h7,000, an increase of 230 per
cent.
Special crops such as tung nuts, honey, gladiolus and nursery products
increased from J3,929,000 in 1939 to j28,874,000 in 1952, an increase of 740 per cent.
Florida's total agricultural gross income was +149,951,000, but this in-
creased to $608,038,000 in 1953, representing a 305 per cent increase. Much of the
increased valuation was of course due to inflation but some was due to increased acre-
age, or numbers of livestock. It is most likely true that the 1953 gross value in
terms of the 1939 dollar shows a worthwhile increase.
We have to grow more to get more dollars to make any progress. Livestock
people had a favorable position for several years but the present outlook is not good.
The vegetable growers are gamblers on the weather and other things. They are opti-
mistic -- they have to be. The principal worry of the dairyman is that somebody will
upset the milk can. The poultry producers come and go -- only the hardy survive and
make money over the years. The citrus people are hopeful of good years to come with
greater consumption of citrus and less competition from other citrus States. The
writer understands that average good orange groves sell ?1500-2000 per acre with more
acreage being set out daily.
The great majority of Florida's oest informed citizens are sure that Florida
agriculture will continue to increase in volume and value over the next decade. The
increase in population over the nation is one factor for this optimism. We still have
many thousand acres of land suitable for agriculture -- and we have water!

TRANSPORTATION COMMENTS
During the 1952-53 season we shipped 212,818 carloads of fruits and vegetables
from Florida. Of these there were 98,472 carloads shipped by freight, 4,236 carloads
shipped by railway express, 288 carloads by boat, and the equivalent of 109,822 carloads
by truck. Transportation by truck accounted for 51% of the carlot shipments, while freigh
represented 46% of the carlot volume with 3 per cent of the produce being shipped by
other means of transportation. The 109,882 carloads, or 51 per cent, of truck shipments
in 1952-53 was a noticeable advance since 1943-44 when 19,480 carloads were shipped by
truck and 131,.252 carloads moved by freight.The percentage of leading commodities last
season which were routed thru truck channels to fresh outlets were oranges 43%, grape-
fruit 44%, beans 77%, cabbage 55%, celery 28%, cucumbers 85%, potatoes 4h%, tomatoes 58%,
watermelons 66%. Five years ago, 1947-48, the percentage of these same commodities was
oranges 26%, grapefruit 16%, beans 5h%, cabbage h3%, celery 13%, cucumbers 54%, potatoes
20%, tomatoes 49%, and watermelons 27%.
Both rail and truck play major roles in the disposition of Florida produce and
each form of transportation serves a specific purpose in shipping. Some growers have
brought out several points of interest concerning motor freight shipments.
Shippers have found the use of trucks valuable when shipping to terminals where
a favorable market price is anticipated because a day or so of time can often be saved
between Florida and northern destination points.
Perhaps the most important factor in the truck picture is the trend that whole-
sale firms in smaller cities as well as chain store groups have taken in shipping
directly from growing points to their respective warehouses thereby by-passing terminal
markets. In some instances these concerns don't have the convenience of a rail siding
for unloading at the warehouse and they often must haul a mile or more from the nearest
siding. The use of trucks it is claimed enables quicker pick-up at field points and
easier and cheaper handling ccsts at the warehouse.
On the other hand rail freight also has advantages. It provides a slightly
cheaper in transit cost than motor freight and then it is more economical to work from
a refrigerated car where a perishable commodity is held a day or so at a terminal
market as a refrigerated car makes a good temporary storage unit. Too, rail cars can
easily be held at central rail centers in the north such as Cincinnati and Richmond. Va.
for diversion to other points for marketing, or "rollers" can be sold while in transit--
an especially valuable factor when market conditions have made it unwise to sell at
shipping point or consign to terminal markets. One of the main points pursued in favor
of the use of trucks was the convenience of pick up of mixed loads at scattered shipping
points; however, it should be clearly brought out that growers also use rail in shipping
mixed loads. This year there were 13,360 cars of both mixed citrus and mixed vegetable
loads moved by rail which shows rail transportation is used in many instances.
In summary, one could say that the use of trucks is preferred for short hauls
to southern markets, while the use of rail cars is preferred for longer hauls with a
trend toward motor truck on long haul transit.
ERROR ,iND REVISIONS
One important but typographical error found thus far will be found on page 9.
Truckloads of cucumbers should read 5,892 instead of 3,392. Totals are unchanged.
Some late revisions of figures coming in after much of the report had been
printed have been used where possible. In most instances the revised figure is the
larger. The revisions however are of minor importance.

NOTC8 The above figures on estimated costs from tree to auction for 1952-53 season were compiled by
the Florida Citrus Matual Statistical Department from various reports from reliable packing houses,
growers andoaretakers who represent a fair cross section of the industry. The above costs are
their ideas as to costs for the industry and do not necessarily represent the ideas of everyone in
the industry.

The State Marketing Bureau takes note of the reports which say that the quality of the citrus
fruit going to the auction markets is usually higher than the State average.

FLORIDA CITRUS HISTORY
By F. H. Scruggs
According to the Florida Citrus Fruit Summary for 1952 prepared by the Florida Crop and
Livestock Reporting Service, it appears from a statement made by Petro Menendez, dated April 2, 1579 at
St. Augustine, that citrus fruits were growing in abundance there at the time, and it is justifiable to
assume that they were brought in by the first settlers in 1565. (This makes the Florida citrus industry
388 years old and perhaps it would be well for the State to officially celebrate the 400 anniversary
in 1965).
Early settlers in Florida, some two centuries later, found wild citrus groves scattered over
Florida. The oldest cultivated grove planted in Florida is thought to be the Don Phillipe grove situated
near what is now Safety Harbor in Pinellas county, planted sometime between 1809 and 1820.
The growth of the Florida citrus industry was spasmodic until the 1894-95 season when the
Great Freeze hit Florida. That season's production had climbed to 6,000,000 boxes and citrus was almost
totally wiped out by freeze. (Incidently there probably are remnants of some of these frozen groves even
in 1953). Fourteen years passed before Florida equaled this production again.
By the 1919-20 season, Florida had 84,100 acres in bearing commercial groves from which were
produced 13,928,000 boxes. When Florida surpassed all other states in citrus acreage in 1932-33 with
265,400 aores, it accounted for 46 per cent of the U.S. total acreage. By 1951-52 Florida's 454,700 acres
of producing groves were producing more than two-thirds of the citrus produced in the U.S., on 58 per cent
of the acreage. This was 119F360,000 standard boxes (1-3/5 bu) out of the U.S. total of 175,910,000 boxes
(A Florida box of oranges weighs 17 per cent more than California and Arizona boxes, while a box of Florida
grapefruit weighs 25 per cent more. The Florida and Texas box weighs 90 lbs for oranges and 80 lbs for
grapefruit. The California and Arizona box weighs 77 lbs for oranges and approximately 67 1Bs for grapefr
California and Texas
The writer,who now departs from history, reports a recent conversation with a western
agricultural scientist of high repute, who says that California will be out of the picture as a citrus
market factor in 10 years or a little longer. This same scientist who has visited Texas this year says
that they are almost through too. Freezes, lack of water and high production costs are putting Texas and
California out of business. Many of the California groves located in the main citrus section within 50
miles of Los Angeles have been and are being sold for industrial business, and residential purposes. He
thinks Florida citrus will do well in the future. The conversation was very pleasing to the writer who
believes he could be right about California and Texas. However,it's possible for f'lorida to have trouble
too. It'a always possible to have a freeze in the winter or a hurricane in the fall or a drought much more
severe than any in the past. The cost of producing, picking, packing, selling, and transporting Florida
citrus has been increasing steadily. If a further decline in prices takes place it will most likely
precede a decrease in production and marketing costs.
FLORIDA FUTURE ACREAGE
It is estimated that as of June 30, 1952, there are 70,800 acres of non-bearing citrus trees
planted in Florida. This means that for the next four years there will be added to the bearing acreage of
Florida citrus an average of approximately 17,700 acres per year, and by 1956 Florida bearing total citrus
acreage will be approximately 525,000 acres.

A BRIEF HISTORY OF FLORIDA CITRUS PROCESSING
E. F. Scarborough, Asst .^.arket News Specialist

Processing of citrus started in the 1920-21 season when 2,000 cases of 24 cans No 2 size
grapefruit sections were canned, In the 1928-29 season the first grapefruit juice was canned, showing
a volume of 202,000 cases. In 1929-30 season the first orange juice was canned, the volume being
37,552 cases, Then during the 1935-36 season the first blended juice was produced, the volume being
84,938 cases. The same year the first citrus salad snowed up in 65,194 cases. Later on during the
1937-38 season 33,430 cases of orange sections were canned !.o new processed citrus showed until the
1940-41 season when the first orange concentrate was produced, the volume amounting to 65,900 gallons
of 650 brix. This unfrozen concentrate produced from 1940-41 season thru the 1944-45 season was
principally for the armed forces and for distribution to the people of England France.

The most important development in citrus history may have occurred during the 1945-46 season,
when the first commercial production of frozen orange concentrate was begun. The consumer demand for
Florida orange concentrate has been phenomenal. The, 226,000 gallons processed for the first season
(1945-1946) is a slender figure alongside the 46,552,605 gallons processed during 1952-53 season. The
consumption of this year's frozen orange juice has been hign ar.d there is little if any of this past
season's pack expected to be carried over to next season-

Frozen orange concentrate has been a decided success as far as the consumer is concerned.
Rapid progress has been made in frozen grapefruit and tangerine concentrate, and while they are not
nearly as popular as frozen orange concentrate they are preferred by many consumers.

Concentrated juices orange, grapefru-it, blended orange and grapefruit, and tangerine -
afford one of the citrus industry's best outlets for tne increasedd citrus acreage which will be coming
into production in the near future. Florida ranges lend themselves somewhat better to consumer appeal
than the other fruit because they are slightly more pleasing to the palate and the vitamLa conscious
public respects the high Vitamin C content,

Florida is fortunate in having only limited competition in the concentrate processing field.
Florida also is the only state able tc produce a high quali:y orange fruit for frozen orange juice to
which it is unnecessary to add sugar. Thus growers can say, ^Florida concentrated orange juice is just
as fresn and sweet as when the fruit is first picked *

Frozen foods as a whole have grown rapidly in demand Retailers are just beginning to meet
this demand with the installation of more freezer cabinet space in their stores. Concentrated juices
represent a large volume of this new business Some large chains in the Midwest report that concen-
trated juices account for 30-40 percent of their frozen food business.

While we watch the astounding growth in demand for concentrated juices, the citrus industry
continues working on new promotional ideas, marketing methods and new research for use during the new
season in all three phases fresh, concentrate and single strength juices,

One new advancement worth watching is the use of more reasonably priced dispensers that
contain small frozen juice cubes for use in soda fountains to provide quick, fresh juice,

MARKETING INFORMATION IN 1940 AND 195?
by
Neill Rhodes
Commissioner
Florida State Marketing Bureau

Comparing Market News information available in 1953 to that which the Florida
agricultural industry might obtain in 1940 emphasizes expansion and improvement of the
official service initiated by the Florida State Marketing Bureau more than 30 years ago.
Back in June 1919 fruits and vegetables, and poultry .r-d eggs, Jacksonville, were quoted
daily by the Bureau. October 1, 1919, the "white egg" quotes were started. The Federal-
State leased wire service, extended to field station coverage, had its origin in the 1922-23
season, celery Market News office conducted at Sanford January-April 1923, Citrus Market News
offices were in operation at Orl-ndo January-April 1924.

By 1940 a cooperative agreement had been entered into between the U.S. Department
of Agriculture and the Florida State Marketing Bureau, whereby the elaborate Market News
system and facilities of the Federal agency were made available to Florida, In accordance
with reccrmnendation I made. the entire overhead expense of the Florida Federal-State Market
News field office service -?as shared equally between the two cooperating agencies, at
tremendous saving to Florida.

Increasing the Market News service by every practical means possible, the Bureau
Ey 1940 was providing coverage for fruits and vegetables, poultry and eggs on the Jackson-
ville, Tampa and Miami markets. The Federal-State service provided shipping point and
terminal market information daily market reports on the principal vegetables at Sanford,
Hastings, Ocala, Leesburg, Belle Glade-Chosen, Bradenton-Plant City, Pompano, for citrus at
Lakeland, and on livestock, Florida area, at Thomasville, Georgia.

The chain of marketing information, essentially Market News service, connecting
the initial, pioneering stage of 1919 with the most comprehensive set-up of all states in
1953, has more links in the welding process for future expansion and broader coverage by
press, radio and television. For the present 1953, the network of official, impartial market
information available for the Florida grower and shipper is so fabricated that the farmer is
as well fortified with current market values and conditions as the trade. There is no excuse
for his being misinformed or uninformed. If the agricultural endeavor is devoted to citrus,
special market reports are available daily throughout the citrus shipping season. If
vegetable production is the line followed, a daily Federal-State report is mailed free of
charge from the Bureau offices from November 1 to July 1, including shipment, passing, track
holding, terminal market conditions and prices, and Florida shipping point prices and market
conditions of the principal Florida vegetables. In addition similar service is provided for
the seasonal operations in concentrated vegetable producing areas of the State at Hpstings,
Sanford, Ocala, Pompano, Belle Glade, Plant City, and Leesburg. F.oOB. coverage is included
regularly in these several-section releases for other points as Florida City, Ft. Pierce, Ft.
Myers, Immokalee, Manatee-Ruskin, Sarasota, Wnuchula, Webster, G-inesville, Zellwood, Dover,
the Lake Okeechobee and Dade County areas. A special summertime Market News service is
provided July-October for lime, avocado and mango shippers.

The poultry farmer receives great recognition in our Market News work. The year
round a report is mailed free of charge from the Bureau offices in Jacksonville every Tues-
day and Friday including intervening days to provide complete record of poultry and egg
prices fors Jacksonville, Miami, Tampa, Orlando, St. Petersburg, Tallahassee, Palatka
section, and the North Georgia and other outside markets of interest to Florida poultrymen.
Special telegraphic service available for faster-than-mail requirements.

Two additional livestock Market News reporters were added to the Bureau force
last August 1.o Official quotes and market information is available to the livestock
producer and dealer for the following markets. Gainesville, Live Oak, Ocala, Arcadia,
Lakeland, Wauchula, Monticello, Marianna, Graceville, Madison, Belle Glade, Okeechobee,
Kissimr.ee and important outside centers.

The New York City flower market is included in the daily releases of the Jackson-
ville and Plant City offices. A continuous schedule of current farm-side value of numerous
other miscellaneous agricultural products is provided thru the medium of For Sale, Want and
Exchange Bulletin with an estimated reader patronage of 150,000 people. Tentative plans pro-
vide for the greatest Market News service expansion ever but that is an article within
itself. If the Florida farmer will only take the time to listen and read, he can keep fully
informed of the market value and conditions of any important agricultural commodity he may
produce.

Date cf Report January 1953
1952 FLORIDA A14NUAL CROP 310UMMARY
For the seventh consecutive season crop production in i iorida set a new record when in 1951-52 a
little over 7.5 million tons of food and feed were produced. This output exceeds last year's production ol
6.8 tons by 10 percent. New records were est-blished in citrus and vegetable production. The State's 39
principal crops were grown on 2,282,500 acres in 1951-52 compared wiT ,27,800 the year before.
The value of crops harvested in Florida dropped about $32millicn as low returns for citrus fruit:
more than offse-ta $20 million increase from vegetables. The value of all crops harvested in 1951-52 is
placed at $356,717,000, 8 percent under tne 1950-51 return of $386,822,000.
FIELD CROPS There were 1,307,400 acres of field crops planted with 707,200 tons of food and fe,
taken from 989,400 harvested acres. This production was valued at $69.6 million. Most of the increase in
acreage and production was due to larger plantings of corn and oa-lt which more than offset smaller acreage
of cotton .nd peanuts.
FRUITS AND NUTS Another record citrus crop of close to 120 million boxes boosted the fruit and
nut production in the State to 5.2 million tons, compared with 4.6 million the year before. Valuation droll
again despite the record production and at $128 million compares with $181 million in 1950-51 and the all
record of nearly $203 million in 1949-50.
Planting of citrus a d *ung nuts continues to increase, boosting the total acreage of fruits and
nuts from 584,300 in 1950-51 to 609,700 in 1951-52. Bearing acreage reflecting recent plantings of citrus
tung increased 19,000 acres during the year to 524,600 acres.
VEGETABLES Florida growers planted, harvested and sold a record vegetable crop in 1951-52 when
365,400 acres were planted, of which 344,800 acres were harvested, yielding 1588,900 tons valued at nearly
$159 million. These are all new records for acreage, production and value. Snsp beans, tomatoes and a ne*
comer, sweet corn, paced the plantings with 73,6C0, 53,500 and 32,900 acres harvested respectively, while
dollar-wise tomatoes with $43 million, Irish potatoes $18.5 and snap beans $17.8 were the three top crops.

U.S. PRODUCTION AND MARKETING ADMENISTRATION
Gainesville, Florida
PEANUTS UNDER MARKETING QUOTA

Marketing quotas were effective on the 1952 crop of peanuts, farmers having voted in favor of
quotas on a National basis in 1950 for a three-year period 1951 thru 1953.

Acreage allotments totaling 57,068.01 acres were established on 5,943 farms located in 29
counties in the State. Total acreage harvested (picked and thresher ) as determined by reas seents-wam
47,730.8 acres or 83.6 percent of the total farm acreage allotments. The total production reported was
40,413,595 pounds for an average yield of 847 pounds per acre.

Legislation formerly in effect, which permitted farmers to harvest on acreage in excess of their
allotment but not in excess of the 1947 harvested acreage (or 1948 harvested acreage if none were
harvested on the farm in 1947) without incurring marketing quota penalties on the excess production,
provided such excess production was delivered for 'oil" purposes, was repealed early in 1952 and prior
to the time harvest began

FLORIDA FLUE-CURED TOBACCO 1952 SEASON

Marketing quotas were effective on the 1952 crop of flue-cured tobacco, farmers
favor of quotas on a National basis in 1949 for a three-year period, 1950 thru 1952.

having voted in

On July 19, 1952 a referendum was also held to determine if farmers desired to have quotas in
effect in future years. Nationally 98o8 percent of the farmers orting favored continuation of quotas,
In Florida the percentage was 96.7 in favor. As a result, quotas will be effective thru the year 1955
unless something unforeseen develops.

Acreage allotments totaling 23,700o5 acres were established on 7,247 farms in 31 counties in
Florida under the 1952 program. The total harvested acreage was 22,504.4 acres on which the production
was 25,804,706 pounds for an average yield of 1,147 pounds per acre.

A summary of acreage and production data by counties is shown on the following page. Data
relating to the price support program for the 1952 crop of flue-cured tobacco is carried under the
Price Support part of this report.

A summary of across-state-line movement of the 1952 crop is shown on the following page.

TOBACCO (Flue- ured) PRICE SUPPORT
Price support to eligible producers (those harvesting within their acreage allotment) on the 1952 flue-
cured tobacco crop was pxovidei by Commodity Credit Corporation thru the Flue-Cured Tobacco Stabilization
Cooperative Corporation. This Cooperative operated at each aaotion warehouse The level of support was at
90% of parity as of February 15, 1952. (Parity at the beginning of the marketing year was lower, but the
minimum level computed on basis of February 15, 1952 parity was used)
The average loan rate was 50.6 cents per pound and varied from a low of 12ol12 cents per pound to 69o12

Eligible tobacco sold at auction by farmers (who held membership in the cooperative) which did not
sell at or above the applicable support price for the grade involved was placed under loan by the Stabiliza-
tion Cooperative with use of Commodity Credi- Corporation fDnds, and producers were paid the support price
less usual warehouse charges and deduction of 12 osnts per hundred service charge for overhead expense of
cooperative.
Approximately 801,000 pounds of the 1952 crop in Flori..da failed to 'bring the support price at the
auctions and was purchased at the support price of $352,037o64o ihis represented only about 3ol% of the
total 1952 production in Florida and only 39% of -he volume c.cquired by the Stabilization Cooperative in
Florida from the previous crop
The net gain made by the Cooperative or the 1948 and 199S crops of flue-cured tobacco from the entire
belt was $6,127,325.58 and these funds were distributed to farmers in January 1953. No record is available

1952 FLORIDA HONEY REPORT
Honey production in FLORIDA in 1952 totaled 17,025,000 pounds, 5 percent less than the record production*
of 17,876,000 produced in 1951 but 55 percent more than the 1947-50 average. Honey production per colony was
75 pounds. This compares with a yield of 82 pounds in 1951 and the 1947-50 average of 55 pounds. In mid-
December Florida producers had 1,702,000 pounds of honey on hand for sale, or about 10 percent of the total
production. The 1952 honey crop was produced by 227,000 colonies of bees, 4 percent more than 1951. Beeswax
production during the year was 272,000 pounds, 14,000 pounds more than the preceding year.
Florida with a production of 17,025,000 pounds now ranks fourth in the nation in the production of hone
California with a production of 48.9 million pounds is the leading honey producing State, i&ile Minnesota wil
a production of 24.8 million pounds is second and Iowa is third with a production of 17.1 million pounds.
Florida's 1952 honey crop is valued at $2,707,000, a slight decrease in value from the 1951 record of
$2,842,000. In the National picture Florida continues to rank as the third largest State in value of honey
produced, being exceeded only by California with a crop valued at $6,122,000 and Minnesota with a $3,521,000
crop. FIGRIDA PRODUCTION AND VALUE

Honey production in the UNITED STATES in 1952 totaled 272,771,000 pounds, 6 percent more than in 1951
and 23 percent above the 1946-50 average. Honey production per colony was 49.5 pounds, the highest since
1941, compared with 46.4 pounds in 1951 and the average of 38.7 pounds. In mid-December, producers had abouT
77 million pounds of honey on hand for sale 28 percent of the total production. The 1952 honey crop was
produced by 5,508,000 colonies of bees, 1 percent less than in 1951. Beeswax production was 4,825,000 pounds
compared with 4,705,000 in 1951.
Honey production was up sharply in the West and the West North Central States, which more than offset
decreases in other States. Production in the West was up 23 percent, mainly because of the tremendous
California crop. Production was up 18 percent in the West North Central States due mainly to large crops in
Minnesota, Iowa and Nebraska. Decreases from last year were 13 percent in the East North Central, 5 percent
in the South Atlantic, 3 percent in the South Central and 2 percent in the North Atlantio States.
Dry hot weather was responsible for reduced production in a number of important Eastern States and in
Texas. Conditions were generally favorable for honey production in the West and West North Central States,
exceptionally favorable in California. The tupelo flow in West Florida produced less than a normal crop but
the citrus crop was one of the best in years. Saw palmetto and ras grove also produced well. Although 1952
was another drought year in Texas, dry weather in the Eastern part set in a little later than in 1951 and
yields were not quite as low as those of 1951.
The 10 leading honey producing States in 1952 were California, Minnesota, Iowa, Florida, Wisconsin, New
York, Texas, Michigan, Illinois aud Indiana. These States produced about 62 percent of the total crop.
STOCKS Estimated stocks of honey on hand for sale by producers in mid-December totaled 77,299,000
pounds 28 percent of the 1952 crop. Stocks of honey include 7,021,681 pounds under the Government farm
storage loans and 2,981,839 pounds under Government purchase agreements.
PRICES Prices received by beekeepers for extracted honey sold at wholesale averaged 12.6 cents per
pound 1952, compared with 11.9 cents in 1951. Prices for o--ob honey sold at wholesale in 1952 averaged
30.0 cents per pound, compared with 29.6 cents a year earlier. These increases were partially offset, how-
ever by slight declines in prices of ohunk honey in some of the Southern States. Prices received by bee-
keepers for all honey sold in 1952 averaged 16.2 cents per pound compared with 16.0 cents in 1951. These
estimated prices include the combined wholesale and retail sales of extracted, chunk and comb honey, in all
size containers, from both large and small apiaries.
Beeswax prices to beekeepers declined sharply in 1952 from the record high level of 1951, nearly to the
level of 1950, as demand fell off. Beeswax prices averaged 43.1 cents per pound in 1952 compared with 50.4
cents in 1951 and 42.8 cents in 1950.

SMALLER U So TLREIY CROP TIIS YEAR
Farmers are raising 55,746,000 turkeys this ye-.r 3 percent less than last year, according to a
preliminary estimate of the Bureau of Agricul-uural -csnomics. Snall varieties decreased 11 percent
and large varieties 7 percent.
Turkey production is below th-x of l2st -yer in -il1 parts of the country except the North Central
States where it was up about 1 percent. Lecre--ses from last v2:-r -iere 16 percent in the South
Atlantic, 12 percent in the North Ailintic, 11 percent in the 7'est ane 10 percent in the South Central
States. There was no change in the East North Central, but a 1 percent increase in the West North
Central States. All but 10 States show decr-ases ranging from 2 to 33 percent, Four States showed no
change while 6 St-tes showed increases r-nging from 2 tc 15 percent. Tne combined production of the 5
most important States with over 3 million bires epc'h s ? percent smaller than in 1952 and amounts to
almost T of the 1953 turkey crop.
A special survey of turkey hatcheries in 14 irpo-tart Stp.tes on May 1 showed a decrease of 19
percent compare! with l-t year in the number of ,oults h',ichled during the first 4 months of this year.
However, poult h-tchigrs -icked up during the next 3 mo.-tht: -nd in July they were reported to be
substantially abcve t'-os_ _n ':ly 1952. Heavier hatchin s during the latter part of the hatching
season and smaller poulT losses have resulted in a smaller dtcr?-se in the turkey crop this year than
early hatchings indicated.
Last January, following the August-Dec..ber 1952 narceting s-Easao, during which turkey prices
averaged 3.6 cents per pound less than in 1951, frmers expressed -their intentions to raise 8 percent
fewer turkeys this year than in 1952. This is the same creasee as now shown by the August 1 pre-
liminary estimate of turkeys raised. Prices during the first 4 months of this year the early hatch-
ing season continued below those of 1952 until mid-May when they reached a level of -2 cent higher
than a year ago. They sagged again in June but in Jaly were 0O4 of a cent above the July 1952 price.
Producers of hatching eggs held 10 percent fewer hens this year than last. However, there was an
ample supply of hatching eggs to meet the demand for hatcheries during most of the season,
