Tbe marlcet demand for its pro-, ducte is being constantly increased by the B^hange. Twenty-five years ago the orange growers of the State were faced with what they tbougbt waa over-production. Since then produe- tlon has quadrupled and tbe crop ia still consumed. Judicious aaverttslng and merohandising methods have kept demand equal to or ahead of supply. A levy ot tour cents a box on orangea and 6Vfr cents a box on lemons pays for It all. Advertlatng and dealers' aervice work is directed chiefly to the retailer and consumer. In any cross-road village in Ontario, where you could not buy an Ontario appie, you will find oranges constant- ly displayed according to aireetiona worked out by those wide-awake growers in Southern Callfomik. Liower Freight Rates Secured. * Last year an arrangement waa made with tbe railways by wtiicb, through the use ot larger cars and quantity shipments, a lower freight rate was secured on oranges. Tbe reduction will ettect a saving of $3,000,000 a year to the orange growers of the State. This works out to 14 cents a box. The total cost of the organisation's services, exclusive of advertising, is 6.86 c^nts per box or less than halt the amount ot the reduction. Organised ECort Pays the Producer.
