DISPATCH ONTARIO, Sept il. That real ranchers who will stay on the ranch and devote their energies to the raising of high-grade fruit rather than ex-drug-store and dry-good clerks who merely buy deciduous fruit property in the hope of getting rich after hearing of the high prices which have been paid for fruit in recent years is the paramount need of the Southern California peach industry it It Is to be put baclt on nrra basis, was the declaration this afternoon of Clyde M. Sheets, manager of the California Growers' Assoojatlm in addressing members of the Ontario-Upland Realty Board at the Hotpolnt Club. Mr. Sheets gave it as his opinion that the realtor could be of material assistance in bringing this about if he would impress upon the man to Whom he sells peach property the necessity of attending to business in the matter of producing good fruit.

PUBLIC PARTICULAR The speaker admitted that both the peach and apricot Industrie of Southern California were in bad condition and he held the packer and the grower responsible rather than the. public which today is buying only high-quality fruit. The packer, he declared, had been spoiled by the fact that up until the past two seasons he had been able to sell practically anything in the fruit iine which was put in a can the result that many warehouses are now filled to capacity with a low-grade class of fruit which It is next to impossible to dispose of. Mr. Sheets, who is in close touch with the situation, reported a blight brightening of conditions within the past sixty days with a small but steady Increase in the case price of canned fruit.

He expressed tha belief that with the hearty co-operation of the growers and a firm determination to produce first-grade fruit, the deciduous industry could be back on a firm basts by next season. NORTHERN CROP SHORT The sorthen crop this season fell about a million cases short of the early estimates, according to the speaker; and the big Ontario plant of the growers' association canned more peaches than all the rest of the Southern California canneries put together. He predicted a record crop for next season but expressed the belief that if the deciduous rancher will give careful attention to pruning and drastlo thinning and otherwise do everything in his power to improve the quality of his fruit, he will receive good returns on his investment. One of the greatest needs of the teach and apricot industries, as seen by Mr. Sheets, is to increase their consumption and this he held can be done by Improving the quality and by proper advertising.

The present apricot consumption, he declared, is less than a quarter pint per capita a. year In the United States. VENICE RUNAWAY HELD By a Times" Staff Correspondent VENICE, Sept II.
