DTINITI NS

Rarely is it possible to indicate the total money value of any specofio
group of agricultural crops on a comparable basis with another group of crops, In
other words, the level at whioh agricultural commodities are trade varies with
the ptartioular items as well as the partic lar areas in which the trading takes
places At the present there is no comnon denominator for the tabulation of all
agricultural products. For examples the total value of sweet potates is figured
on an F.O.B. basis, minus selling charges in Florida, Louisianr, and California,
while in New Jersey and the Carolinas, they nar oloulated on a price paid at the
farm. This is due to the differing systems of trading in these Statesa
Since there is no feasible method ftr oaloulating agricultural products
to the same Bomonn denominator, various methods based on eoenomio principal of
expressing the money vlue of production, sales and incom -e have been accepted by
the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Definitions generally used throughout this
report followed
Value of rdution is computed by applying $Ae season average price re-
ceived by growers for quacnties sold from a particular orop or during the market-
ing season, depending en the ocinemity, to the total quantities produced.
Similarly, the value of sales is the unit price applied to the quatity sold from
a particular ror di3rurVIfthe marketing stasan, depending on the oeomndity,

In other wo-rs, the vlue of production is the money worth of the total
2r grown for harvest while the value of sales is the maney recaiTne for tfr
prtion of the harvested orop sold an the market Yr example if a farmer feeds
the h9t he produces to his livestock it has a production value. However, since
no money was received it has no sale value.
Gross Incomes Realized gross farm incme includes (a) osah receipts
from farm mnarketinga (b) value of farm protoite conaumed in favi houaeholdsy (o)
rental value of farm dwellingsj and (d) govaiernmanfpyments to farenars Total
gross income is the realiaed gross incom or minus the value of the nat
change in farm inventories of crsps and livastaeak

Cash receipts fr m farm markettnu consist of total money reosived from
the sale of farm products, together with te ntt receipts from Comndity Credit
Corporation loans,

In other words, oash receipts differ from gross income in that cash
receipts include only the amount of mone reroivtA frm tht mArket transactions
and the CCC loan programs while gross InseM e is the overall ralue of agricultural
raducots consumed and the marketed as well as the rnal fthe farm dwelling,
Farm Value (,s used to compute total grass income abTve) as applied to
crps in the various tables, is derived by multiplying production by the eafimated
season average price received by farmers for that portion of the canmodity
actually sold. The term is used in the inventory tables on livestock and poultry
to mean value of the number of head on farms on January 1. It is derived by
multiplying the number of head by an estimated value pe head as of that date.

F.O.B. Packed Value All prices used on truck crops are on an F.O.B.
basis, which includes harvesting services such as picking, grading, packing and
containers, less selling charges. In the case of some commodities which are sold
in units other than the cne listed, these units are converted into the equivalent
of the ones used,

F.O.B. Packed Value differs from Farm Value in that the F.O.B. Value is
the money value of the harvested crop while the Farm Value covers current book
value of all farm crops and livestock, whether sold on the market or not.

Citrus price terminology Average prices as sold refer to the average
prices actually received by growers in the local market at the point where the
fruit changes ownership. In general, fruit may be sold F.O.B packed by growers,
at the incoming packing house door, or on the trees. If sales are made through
grower cooperatives, it is considered that the first sale is made by the
cooperative.

However, in order to keep all prices on a local market basis, sales by
individual growers and grower-cooperatives at terminal auctions and other distant
points are priced onan equivalent F.OB. shipping-point basis. F.O.B. citrus
prices refer to the prices received by grower-packer of grower cooperatives for
the fruit sold packed, with the price including costs of grading, packing, con-
tainers, and selling expenses. When adjustments are made in actual average prices
as sold in order that these prices will apply to some sales position other than
the position at which the sale was made, the results are referred to as "equiva-
lent per unit returns."

Equivalent per unit returns for citrus are calculated at two points of
sales

(1) Equivalent paokinc-house door returns refer to all fruit, regardless
of the methods of sale, converted to a price which it would have returned had the
entire crop been sold at the incoming packing house door.

(2) Equivalent rn tree returns refer to all fruit similarly converted
to the price it would have returned had the entire crop been sold on the tree.

In arriving at equivalent per unit returns, costs are added to, or
subtracted from prices of fruit as actually sold in order to obtain returns to
growers at one of the two specified points in the marketing process. For example,
in order to obtain equivalent packing-house door returns for Florida oranges, (1)
the average price for fruit actually sold F.OB. packed is reduced by the charge
for grading, packing, containers, etc., (2) the average price for fruit actually
sold on the tree is increased by the cost of picking and hauling to the packing
house door, and (3) the season returns so derived are then combined with the re-
ported price for the quantity, if any, actually sold in bulk at the incoming pack-
ing-house door by weighing the equivalent returns for each method of sales in
proportion to the volume actually sold at each point.

FOREWORD

If Florida agricultural products had no competition, our farmers would have
the markets of the country "by the tail with a downhill pull." The 1958-59
Agricultural Statistical Summary necessarily restricts the analysis of volume.
value, disposition and transportation to Florida production. May the omission
of comparative statistical production and value data for states which produce
annually or intra-seasonally the same commodities not imply to anyone that
Florida agriculture has little or no competition. It does.

The United States" harvested acreage of 59 crops in 1958 was 321,110,000 acres,
including Florida's 1,216,000 acres, or about 265 times the Florida acreage.
The U.S. carlot shipments of fresh fruits and vegetables excluding motor truck
amounted to 517,284 carlot equivalents, of which Florida supplied 52,081 cars,
around 10 percent.

Eggs produced 19583 United States 60,681 million, Florida 684 million
Minnesota and Iowa, favorably situated to the area of largest grain production,
produced 5 to 7 times as many eggs. Number commercial broilers: United States
1,659,636 thousand, Florida 11,319 thousand. Georgia produced 25 times as many
commercial broilers as Florida. Milk production: United States 125.236 million
lbs., Florida 1,117 million lbs. Wisconsin produced 16 times as much milk as
Florida. Beef cattle and calves: United States 64,025 thousand, Florida 1,620
thousand. Since our milk, broiler and egg production is around 1 percent and
beef cattle 21 percent of the United States total, Florida has volume competi-
tion beyond any doubt.

Florida consumes more than it produces of certain products, poultry and eggs,
as noted above. Florida produces annually more than it consumes of other
products, citrus fruit and vegetables, for instance. Included in the State's
total annual consumption of some major commercial commodities, of which Florida
consumes far less than it produces, are nonetheless many carlots originating in
other states -- as in 1958, more than 3500 cars of fruits and vegetables from
California were unloaded on the Miami, Jacksonville and Tampa markets. Whether
the same crop as Florida produces moves from east, west, north or south, the
Florida offering has competition in all markets, including those of Florida, in
which it is sold.

Competition may be expected in export channels, in consumption centers of
other states, and in home markets. It begins at home -- where all our products
originate and many are sold. If Florida shippers continue to realize their
products cannot finish with strong competition unless they start with top
quality -- that consumers can never get more quality out of a pack than they,
the shippers, put in it -- volume and value of Florida agricultural production
in general will increase.

The 1958-59 Summary is not a treatise on competition. The facts and figures
it contains, however, do testify that Florida farmers could not have produced so
much of so many different commodities welling for so much money unless in doing
so they had successfully met competition.

ANNUAL AGRICULTURAL STATISTICAL SUMMARY

By Elmo F. Scarborough, Market News Specialist

SUMMARY REVIEW
News Release

Florida agricultural production was valued at $832,848,000 for the 1958-59
season. This was a very noteworthy increase of 12 percent over the $740,800,500
of the 1957-58 season. Since 1952-53, the production value has risen from 4-9
percent annually, except in 1956-57 when a slightly lower than the previous
year's total value was recorded. The unprecedented unit value of citrus at all
levels of trading, especially oranges, marked the largest portion of the 1958-59
increase. Most categories of the agricultural economy show some increase over
the previous season's, except for poultry and egg products.

Growth of the various phases of farming in the State over the past seven
years has been generally good. CITRUS, which accounts for about 35 percent of
the production value, has jumped from $163 million to $348 million. TRUCK CROPS
represent about 24 percent of this value, and they have varied considerably over
a seven-year period, from $144 million in 1953-54 to $190 million in 1954-55.
Out-of-state competition, domestic and foreign, as well as adverse weather condi-
tions within the State, have caused price and supply variances. In the 1958-59
season, Truck Crops totaled $158 million. HORTICULTURAL SPECIALTY CROPS, which
account for 5 percent of the total value, have shown a steady increase from
$28 million to $35 million. The small crop category of MISCELLANEOUS FRUITS AND
EDIBLE NUTS have represented around $2.5 million to the agricultural industry.
FIELD CROPS contributed about 10 percent to the total value and ranged from
$63 million in the earlier years to $75 million at present. The projected value
for 1959 of $75 million is the greatest for a number of years. Many field crops,
grown in the State, are geared in production to the Government price support
programs. Florida LIVESTOCK and DAIRY PRODUCTS have increased steadily, account-
ing for 9 percent and 10 percent of the total production value, respectively.
Increased population, in the State, increased slaughter activities of cattle and
hogs, and the willingness of farmers to enlarge herds, have been factors affect-
ing this growth. Livestock value was $51 million in 1953, and is expected to be
about $84 million in 1959, while Dairy Products value was $56 million in the
earlier period, and is expected to reach around $80 million in 1959. POULTRY
AND EGG PRODUCTS represent 5 percent of agricultural production, and have
fluctuated between $32-35 million. Eggs represented an important segment of
this category. Florida is considered a deficit producing State for these pro-
ducts, and there has been an opportunity for producers in the State to increase
their production for local consumption. Sharp increases in poultry and egg
production and generally low prices nationally have reflected a lower marketing
price structure in Florida during the last few years. Farm production of FOREST
PRODUCTS along with HONEY AND BEESWAX contributed 2 percent, and have ranged in
value from $7-10 million annually.

FLORIDA AGRICULTURE REGARDED AS UNIQUE

Florida ranged 18th in the United States for cash received by the farmers
during 1958 and 16th the year before. There are many states which raise a large
number of meat animals and a wide diversity of crops. At first glance it
doesn't look as though there's anything unusual about the farming in Florida.
However, an outstanding feature of the State's agriculture is that it

Page 2
predominately consists of winter horticultural crops -- citrus, truck crops, cut
flowers, potted plants, nursery plants, and semi-tropical fruits. A distinct
advantage is Florida's proximity to the Eastern Seaboard, Midwestern and
Southern markets. An average of the past five years shows that 65% of this
State's agricultural money comes from horticultural crops as contrasted with the
overall United States' average of only 10 percent for horticultural crops.

During the months of November through April, our growers generally find a
favorable demand for their product in the North. California and Texas are
competitors for a number of items. Mexico and Cuba offer stiff competition to
our tomatoes. Gladiolus, pompons, and potted plants are also important. In
October, crops are just beginning to come into production, while in May and June
they are tapering off, except for oranges, watermelons, celery, and sweet corn,
which remain quite active during these latter months.

Florida ranks first in the United States as a producer of winter citrus,
cut flowers, and potted plants, and second in a winter production of fresh
vegetables.

CITRUS

The citrus industry, geared to big things in Florida, came through with an
excellent record. The 1958-59 crop of 126,000,000 boxes was quite a sizeable
one following the 1957-58 historic cold winter which damaged citrus trees in a
number of locations. The 1957-58 production was around 116,400,000 boxes con-
trasted to the previous production of around 135,000,000 boxes.

The 1958-59 orange production of 86,000,000 boxes was 4 percent more than
in 1957-58, and 8 percent less than in 1956-57. The processors utilized a
record 68,513,000 boxes last season, or 80 percent of the production. This sur-
passes the previous record of 68,234,000 used by the processors in 1956-57. The
16,837,000 boxes of oranges moved through fresh market channels was the least
quantity used in the fresh form since 1934-35, when 15,143,000 boxes went to the
market. In this earlier season it was noted that only 265,000 boxes were pro-
cessed.

Prices at the "packing house door" level were the highest on record this
past season. Processors paid $3.38 per box in 1958-59, and fresh users paid
$3.23 per box. The season before, 1957-58, processors paid $2.66 per box, and
for fresh $2.51 was paid. In the past 19 seasons for which data are available,
there were only 4 seasons when processors and fresh users paid more than $2.50
per box for oranges at the "packing house door."

The grapefruit production of 35,200,000 boxes in 1958-59 was 13 percent
more than in 1957-58, and 6 percent less than in 1956-57. The processors
utilized 18,561,000 boxes, or 53 percent of the crop, and the fresh market
16,479,000 boxes. During the past 10 years, processors have bought about half
of the grapefruit crop, while the other half moved to the fresh market.

Grapefruit prices averaged $1.16 at the "packing house door" level in 1958-
59, and fresh prices averaged $1.70. Historically, fresh market prices have
averaged higher than those of processors.

Tangerine production totaled 4,500,000 boxes in 1958-59 season. This is
114 percent more than the 1957-58 season, and 7 percent less than in 1956-57.
Prices at the "packing house door" level for both fresh and process outlets
averaged $2.40 per box in 1958-59 compared to $3.24 in 1957-58 and $2.29 in
1956-57.

TRUCK CROPS

The 1958-59 season constituted the third consecutive winter that growers
have experienced heavy rainfall to truck crops at various times during the
season. Historically, Peninsular Florida receives two-thirds of the annual rain-
fall during a five-month period, June through October, with the other months be-
ing comparatively dry.

Quality varied considerably during the season, yields light, and sizes
generally smaller than usual. Vegetable shipments totaled 91,931 carlot equiv-
alents in the 1958-59 season contrasted to 82,906 in 1957-58, and 112,217 in
1956-57. Smaller shipments were noted for most commodities during the past
season, with potato shipments down sharply from those of recent years.

Brief notes about some of the important truck crops follow:

Snap beans were valued at $15,348,000 in 1958-59 compared to $14,017,000 in
1957-58. The total value of the past two seasons was the lowest since the 1947-
48 season. The harvested acreage of the past two seasons of some 53,000 was the
lowest since the 1939-40 season.

Cabbage was valued at $5,566,000 in 1958-59 compared to $6,246,000 the
previous season. Cabbage values fluctuate widely from year to year. Market
prices this past season were generally favorable, however, low yields reduced
per acre returns.

Celery, one of the oldest truck crops grown in Florida, was valued at
$9,398,000 last season compared to $17,255,000 of the previous season. The per
unit price was only $1.47, which was reportedly the lowest ever experienced by
growers.

Sweet corn was valued at a record $13,971,000 in 1958-59 contrasted to
$11,064,000 of the previous season. Generally, it was considered a favorable
corn year pricewise.

Cucumbers were valued at $9,596,000 in 1958-59 compared to $7,637,000 of
the previous year. Peppers were valued at a record $13,158,000 compared to
$11,432,000 for the year before.

Potatoes, another popular truck crops, grown in the State for a number of
years, was valued at $13,524,000 compared to $15,727,000 of the previous season.
The unit price for winter potatoes was generally low, while the spring potato
price was considered quite good.

Tomatoes still rank as the number one truck crop because of the consist-
ently great total production value. In the 1958-59 season, tomatoes were valued
at $44,249,000 compared to $30,063,000 of the previous season. The 46,600 acres
harvested in 1958-59 were the smallest since the 1949-50 season.

Watermelons, an important spring cash crop in Florida, were valued at
$12,431,000 in 1958-59 compared to $7,744,000 of the previous year. Low yields
and small sizes plagued the deal throughout much of the season. The 75,000
acres harvested was the smallest since the spring of 1952.

THE AGRIBUSINESS AND ADVERTISING ERA

The most noteworthy topics discussed during the past year in Florida ag-
riculture, I believe, were the words "Agribusiness" (agriculture and business
inter-related) and "advertising." As a matter of fact, speakers at both the

Page 3B
Ficrija Fruit and Vegetable Association Convention and the Florida Flower Associa-
ti.-n convention this last Fall brought out the "Agribusiness" and "advertising"
theme directly or indirectly.
The agriculturist is trying to express himself more forcibly through the
tern "Agribusiness" in that farm production and marketing problems from the soil
t.o- the consumer involve many businesses. The competition between foods and other
Fr-.,djuts for a "fair share" of the consumer dollar has brought to the forefront
the ai.ertising medium.
First, we would like to mention the current trends in agriculture, then
foilC.- up with some thoughts on what "Agribusiness" and "advertising" may con-
trltrute toward helping agriculture marketing in the State.
ilown on the farm, capital is continuing to replace labor; i.e., mule power
anrd hrd labor. The emphasis is shifting to mechanical power, This change to-
iarjd complete mechanization has necessitated other technological changes.
F'rmrers have to acquire the skills incident to new forms and methods of produc-
tion They are more dependent upon business for many needs as contrasted to the
litE 1300's, when the off-farm purchases were only about 10-20 percent,
Uith the technological gains of the past and those which can reasonably be
fore-een, the question is no longer one of enough food, but instead, how to PRO-
.'i.CE commodities on specification basis more economically, and how to MARKET the
increased farm production with returns to capital and management comparable to
t.hl-e in other sectors of the economy,
The word "Agribusiness" expresses the magnitude and complexities of ag-
riculiture. It readily draws into the farming picture the many intermediary
tu.jinesses and people involved in producing and marketing products. Whether
it' food or fibre that is marketed, it takes a great number of trading channels.
jlitr there declining number of farm families and individual farm operations getting
tiger, it appears to many laymen that agricultural problems should be decreas-
ir,; Actually, the situation is becoming more complex. For instance, the farmer
Ir leIs self sufficient, becoming more dependent upon off the farm businesses for
-sr'Ji.-s, production supplies and marketing, He is the creative specialist in
trri: "Agribusiness" industry, which is of sufficient importance to offset some
' f-':' percent of the national economy.
'ur experience at the Bureau with marketing information shows clearly the
i.d' ringe of intermediary businesses embraced by growers. As many as 2000
ccpie- of this summary are mailed annually to -- growers, shippers, bankers,
zeel-lmn, transportation representatives (air, boat, rail, truck), fertilizer and
ohem-ircl representatives, chain store organizations, independent grocery groups,
citru' and vegetable processors, slaughtering plants, advertising organizations,
c.:rn.tainer companies (cans, cartons, wooden boxes), libraries, marketing organiza-
ti.nr: and production men and economists, both public and private. As are the
grc-ier:, these professional people are also very interested in the agricultural
tren.s. They supply credit, equipment, transportation, containers, cans, etc.
,th'er of these are agricultural leaders in the State, or often counties, who
prom,.:te ideas helpful to farming.
"Advertising" has become a factor of incredible importance to many bus-
ine--s: saleswise. It is claimed that if a housewife listens to a radio or
trileision all day, she will be bombarded with about 432 commercials that day.
It. is always interesting to note that when an Ad man outlines his promo-
tional program he always stresses the need for basic marketing statistics and
research in carrying out a successful program. The radio or TV ads as well as
tr:-e -een in magazines or newspapers are the end products of a lot of hard work
t- -rTiters, artists and researchers.
rIe Agricultural Advertising and Promotion Program enacted for the next two
.-irs- y the 1959 Florida Legislature points out the importance and the concern
in the State of keeping the overall agricultural economy healthy and competitive
throull the use of blanket advertising, that which pushes all commodities during
their respective seasons.

a/Estimated. We have a record of truck shipments of field peas, greens and radishes, We have a record of avocado and mango truck ship-
ment volume, and also of avocado production. The 1954 census gives us some bench work data on the above as well as information for the
first time on miscellaneous fruit such as bananas, coconuts, figs, grapes, guavas, kumquats, papayas, pears, persimmons, plums & prunes.
b/ Spring pickles for processing,
c/ Avocado data based on 1959 season. Due to the quantity of Cuban avocados consumed in Florida, certain adjustments were made to the
West Indies import data which do not reflect in the State avocados total carlot figure.

WEATHER R
Character of the 1958-59 Season's Weather in Florida

The 1958-59 season, as compared to previous seasons, was relatively warm with excessive
rainfall. Cold damage to citrus was generally light, however, truck was hard hit, not as
much by cold as by excessive rain which caused flooding and increased the disease and pest
hazards.

The first cool weather of the year occurred in the north portion of the state on November
22nd, but freezing temperatures did not occur until November 30th, and it wasn't until December
13th that freezing occurred generally over all the northern districts. In the central districts
freezing temperatures were confined to a few of the colder locations during December and it was
not until January llth that the first general freeze occurred in tnis area, which was the first
freeze of the winter for the Everglades. It was not until January 18th that the Lower East
Coast experienced their first freezing temperature. With two major and several minor outbreaks
of cold air, January was the coldest of the season. The first of these occurred on the llth
and 12th and the other during the period from the 17th through the 19th. The majority of the
lowest temperatures for the season was reported on January llth, however, some occurred on var-
ious other nights during the two periods. February and March were rather warm with only a few
minor oold outbreaks in the north and central districts, however, freezing did occur in the
southern districts on March 3rd.

Rainfaifor the season averaged far above normal with the wettest period occurring from
the later part of February through March. Some areas experienced over 30 inches of rainfall
for the season.

Damage to citrus was relatively light although rather heavy defoliation did occur during
the two freezes in January, confined mostly to trees out back as a result of last season's
freezes and young trees which were exposed. Complete loss of leaves and branches up to 18
inches long was noted in the coldest places in north and central districts and in isolated
cases young trees were killed to the bank. Damage to fruit and healthy mature trees was small,
however, heavy firing was necessary on January llth, 12th, 18th and 19th. While citrus came
through the season with only minor damage, truck crops did not fare so well. The January
freezes killed all but the hardiest truck in the north and central districts, did consider-
able damage in the Everglades and spotty damage in the Lower East Coast. Further damage due
to frost was done to 10-15 per cent of corn and beans on the 3rd of March in the Everglades
and some spotty damage in the Lower East Coast. Excessive rainfall throughout the season
hampered truck farming with the largest amount of damage occurring during the month of March.
Crops not only suffered from flooding but from disease and fungi since spraying operations were
impossible during the wet weather and many crops were almost a total loss. Additional damage
was done by high winds which occurred several times during the season reaching gusts of 40 to
60 MPH.

HISTORIC RAINFALL CHARACTERISTICS FOR PENINSULAR FLORIDA

Peninsular Florida, although receiving generally 50 to 60 inches of rainfall annually,
does not enjoy a very favorable distribution through the year. Agriculture as a rule can-
not rely upon rainfall to maintain favorable soil moisture conditions in all seasons. The
calendar year can be divided into two seasons; a relatively wet season which extends from
about June through September or October and a comparatively dry season during the other
months. On the basis of long time expectancy, the five months, June through October, ac-
count for nearly two-thirds of the annual rainfall.

Rainfall during the wet season, June through September or October, comes largely from
afternoon showers and thundershowers that are quite "local" in character. Most peninsular
points will average 80 or more thunderstorms per year. Although most of the thunderstorms
are of short duration, occurring in the late afternoon or early evening, relatively large
amounts of rainfall in an hour or two are not uncommon. Most peninsula locations have ex-
perienced 2-hour amounts in excess of 3 inches at one time or another. Because of the
"local" characteristic of the major portion of summer rainfall monthly amounts and even the
long term medium amounts display considerable variation from place to place in the same gen-
eral area. Over.an area of several thousand square miles, the monthly average for the area
as a whole may be made up of individual station amounts varying from as little as one-half
the area average to as much as nearly double the area average. Temporary flooding condition
may exist in one county while an adjacent county may be experiencing a temporary water defi-
oiency.

Tropical storms during the late sumner or early fall months can produce copious rain-
fall over large areas. More than two-thirds of the peninsula locations for which 25-years
of record are available, have measured more than 10 inches of rain in October at one time
or another. The months November, December January, February and March are comparatively
dry. Few places for which records are available during the 1931-1955 period have received
more than 10 inches in any one of these months; those that have are on the northern pen-
insula.

TROPICAL STOIS

Tropical storms produce the principal high winds in Florida. These storms are often des-
truotive. Florida, jutting out into the 'sea between the subtropical Atlantic and the Gulf of
Mexico, is the most exposed of all states to these storms since hurricanes approach from the
Atlantic to the east, the Caribbean to the south, and the Gulf of Mexico to the west.

From 1885 to 1957, inclusive, 125 tropical storms of all intensities have entered or af-
fected Florida significantly. About 60 percent of these are known to have been of hurricane
intensity. The State has never gone more than 2 years without a tropical storm. The longest
period since 1880 without a major hurricane is 7 years, which began in 1951 and is still con-
tinuing at the time this is written (June 1958).

The vulnerability of the State varies with the progress of the hurricane season. August
and early September tropical storms normally approach the State from the east or southeast,
but as the season progresses into late September and October, the region of maximum hurricane
activity (insofar as Florida is concerned) shifts to the western Caribbean. Most of those
storms that move into Florida approach the State from the south or southwest, entering the Keys,
and Miami area, or along the west coast.

The most intense hurricane of modern times affected the state of Florida on Labor Day,
1935. The lowest sea-level pressure ever recorded in the western Hemisphere, 26.35 inches
was recorded at that time. The maximum winds in the storm were not recorded since the wind
measuring equipment was blown down before the peak of the storm was reached. However, engi-
neers have calculated that winds of 200 to 250 m.p.h. would have been required to account for
some of the damage that occurred during this severe hurricane. During the hurricane of Aug-
ust 1949, winds at West Palm Beach reached 110 m.p.h. with gusts to 125 m.p.h. before the
anemometer was blown away. The highest sustained speed was estimated at 120 m.p.h. with gusts
to 130. A privately owned anemometer, the accuracy of which is unknown, recorded gusts of
155 m.p.h. The highest winds of a hurricane are seldom measured since these usually occur at
isolated points where no anemometers are installed. It seems likely that winds of 150 m.p.h.
occasionally accompany major hurricanes, which occur in Florida perhaps once in 7 years.

The average hurricane rainfall in Florida usually does not exceed 6 to 8 inches in a
24 hour period.

THE OUTLOOK FCR FARM LABOR. 1959-60

The needs for Florida farm workers will be slightly higher during 1959-60 than that of the
previous season according to Mr. Robert B. Beasley, Chief, Reports and Analysis Section of the
Farm Placement Office in Tallahassee. This is a division of the Florida Industrial Conmission.
The following comments by Mr. Beasley are based upon survey reports made during the sumner by the
Commission's area labor supervisors.

'Planted and harvested acreage of vegetables will slightly exceed experience for the 1958-59
season, with the most substantial increases expected in tomatoes and watermelons. In citrus, the
rapid recovery of the trees from the freeze of 1957-58 will result in considerably more production
than last year. Tropical fruit acreage will remain about the same but the lifting of quota regula-
tions will cause a significant increase in sugar cane isor' ge and proluotion.

The expected increase in production indicates that some 100,000 farm workers will be required
in Florida agricultural activity during the 195960 season with sharp peak needs during harvest
seasons in vegetables and citrus.

All indications point to a labor supply at least as large as last year's experience. It is
probable that more domestic workers will be available in Florida from neighboring supply states
because of more effective recruitment planning and the growing cooperation between states in the
migratory movement of farm labor. The only foreseeable deterrent to recruitment of out-of-state
workers is the housing shortage, made more stringent by recent legislation. It is virtually cer-
tain that supplemental contract labor from the British West Indies and the Bahamas will be needed,
possibly in about the same volume as was used last year.

There will continue to be a necessity for complete utilization of all types of agricultural
labor if there are to be no crop losses due to manpower shortages.o

FARM CREDIT IN FLORIDA

Farm credit has become one of the more functional necessities of agriculture as the off-
the-farm needs have increased. This informative tabulation of the farm credit picture, by the
Agri Commission of the American Bankers Association, New York, N.Y., is indioative of the
Florida farmers' increasing need for money. The datum shown is in two tables because of the
different types of information tabulated over a period of time.

a/ Included in Florida processing for disposition purposes are a negligible quantity for interstate shipments for by-produots
manufacture
b/ Total Crop in boxes includes Total Crop of Value, plus Farm-Home Use, plus economic abandonment
c/ In 1958-59 the 200,000 boxes of Tangerines were the only citrus crop on which economic abandonment was recorded.
/ Carload equivalents are based on the total 1958-59 crop of value forthe current harvesting season. Due to some quantity of
citrus being held in storage or late summer varieties harvested after July 31, these above carload totals may differ slightly to
the interstate fresh shipments shown on pages 9-13. The per-car conversion factors are shown in footnote (2) on thief page
The interstate shipments shown on pages 9-13 cover shipments for the period August 1 thru July 31, and they are actual ship-
ments based on documentary rail records, boat shipments reported by boat export firms, and cross-checked at a later date against
U. S. Dept. of Commerce records and truck shipments reported by the F&V Inspection Service on inspections certified for inter-
state movement.
e/ Net returns are growers' returns after deducting the cost of production from the on-tree price.
_/ Only the total fresh limes are officially reported. The fresh lime breakdown was made by the FSMB, and was based percentage-
wise on transportation data from another source.
Definition on preface pages D-E give an outline of procedure used in developing value of agricultural production statistics
for the various commodities.

Citrus, during the last ten years, has been both an important processed and fresh product,
There has been a need for tabulation of orange, grapefruit and tangerine values in respect to
money value at the packed out level F.O.B. shipping point, which covers the product (fresh market
and processed) re~y for shipment. It is our hope that this table more effectively indicates
the magnitude of the Florida citrus industry.

It should be noted that the sums expressed are not those recognized for calculating farm
values but include the manufaoturing and parking costs of the citrus crop, freight on board,
ready for shipment In some instances, complete per unit price datum was not available, and
therefore it is suggested that the information be used for general comparison purposes only.

STUDIES ON COST OF SHIPPING CITRUS TO MARKET IN BULK

Since World War II, there has been considerable expansion of bulk shipments of Florida
citrus from packing houses to markets. According to reports of the Florida Department of Agri-
culture, 122,000 boxes of citrus were shipped in bulk to market during the 1947-48 season. By
the 1954-55 season, this figure had increased to 1,800,000 boxes. Not all of this quantity was
to out-of-state markets but a large part of it was. Many packing houses are now set up to ship
fresh citrus in bulk which has already been degreened, washed, waxed, polished, graded, stamped
and sized.
Most terminal market receivers of bulk citrus have bagging operations for citrus and
other items such as apples, potatoes and onions. The same bagging machines may handle two or
more commodities. Table A included herewith shows that handling costs for citrus fruit packed
in 8 pound mesh bags at shipping point packing houses was 16.5 cents per 1-3/5 buo equivalent as
compared with only 11.9 cents for the same equivalent amount packed in the 8 pound mesh bags at
terminal market operations. The table gives the various cost items included,

Table B shown below, indicates that handling costs for citrus fruit packed and shipped
in 1-3/5 buo wiretound boxes from shipping point packing houses through terminal market ware-
houses, to retail stores, cost 39.34 per 1-3/5 bu equivalent. This compares with a handling cost
of only 8.o5 for the same equivalent amount shipped in bulk from shipping point packing houses,
and then loose in reusable boxes from terminal market warehouses to retail stores which were sell-
ing the oranges in bulk bins. If this 30o8o per box saving could go in growers' pockets for all
fruit sold out of bulk bins in retail stores, it would probably amount to an extra 5 million
dollars per year for Florida grove owners. A detailed breakdown of the costs incurred in both
methods is shown in Table Bo

NOTE: Truck rates fluctuate according to the supply and demand of trucks. Rates are generally
stabe at the lowest per box rate shown; however, during periods of truck shortages rates will
tend slightly higher, hence a rate range is shown to cover the variance during truck shortages.
There was a plentiful supply of trucks until the latter part of April, when the movement of
vegetables, potatoes and watermelons increased in volume, causing an acute shortage. Some truckers
included ice at the prevailing rate, which resulted in even lower charges during the period when
there was an abundance of trucks than those shown. Most trucks are equipped with ice bunkers with
capacity of 1800 to 2400 pounds; however, there is an increasing number being placed in service
equipped with mechanical refrigeration units. Mechanical refrigeration runs from $25.00 to $50.00
per load and ice refrigeration runs from 5 to 10 cents per 1-3/5 bushel box, depending on the
weather and destination.

The Florida AVOCADO Administrative Committee is in the process of changing the container
specification uring the August and September of 1959. The regulations are too lengthy to print
here.
The Committee advised on August 20 the following concerning avocado containers:
"As far as we know at present, the effective date of 9/14/9 is when the present lug for avocados
is to be discontinued and the new lug of size 15-3/4x11l1/2x3-1/4, 15-3/4x11-1/2x3-3/4, 15-3/4x11-1/2x
4-1/# is to replace it.
To accommodate the other sizes of fruit, the present multilayer container will be used, the size
of which is 11x16-3/4x10 inches inside dimensions. The 16 ounce, 36 count, fruit may be packed in
this large container starting August 1, 1959. If by September 8, which is the date of the Committee's
next regular meeting, the present inventory of containers is not exhausted it may be voted to
extend the September 14 date.
Starting August 1, 1959, it was permissible to pack 16 ounce, (36 size) and larger fruit in the
multilayer box. It is hoped that the lug of three different depths in conjunction with the multi-
layer box will acoomnodate all sizes and shapes of avocados, give a standardized pack and four con-
tainers, and save the industry money all the way through. They will stack well and give air
passageway when loaded in trucks."
For further details on avocado cortainersplease write Advooado Administrative Committee,
1102 Iorth Krome Street, Homestead, Florida.

2_ Errata Southern Pea (Field Peas) acreage data shown in 1957-58 report. The 1957-58 acreage
should have read 5,400 planted, and 5,200 harvested.

SRadishes Topped. z Excludes processed spinach.

SMiscellaneous Vegetables include broccoli, okra, onions, parsley, English peas, watercress, eto.

The unofficial acreage, production and value estimates were made by the Market News Specialist,
-3f the Florida State Marketing Bureau. Having made these estimates, some without enough basic data
on which to make as good an estimate as we desire, we hope no one disagress with us about them un-
less they have data whibh could help us with estimates next year. These estimates are made in order
to complete the acreage, yield, production and value picture. We have always tried to do that even
it rough estimates are necessary.

SOUTHERN PEAS (Edible Cowpeas)

This item is marketed principally in the South. The table of Truck Destinations in this book
will aid in the further study of distribution. Field peas are transported to the market
primarily by trucks. Therefore truck shipments represent a very high percentage of the volume
shipped out of Florida. In recent years there has been some marketed through frozen food
channels. Fresh field peas in Jacksonville have been marketed fresh by sellers in an increased
volume during recent years.
