Forecasting Of Maturity Predicted DADE CITY (By Staff Writer) Forecasting for pounds-solids and maturity of citrus fruits and pinpointing these with joe e. Mullin aericultural statictipia In nU imr tt u.i6c uiC uj. Agriculture Department's statistical reporting service, Orlando, predicted both growers and processors will benefit from the system, now in the formative stage.

Speaking to about 200 growers at the 20th annual Gulf Coast Citrus Institute here, Mullin said work on the forecasting program began in October of 1963, as a series of surveys to record the changes in the maturity of citrus fruits. USDA statisticians conduct monthly surveys and determine the maturity level and pounds-solids content of Florida citrus fruits. Mullin cited the need for development of what he termed a "reference date," which can be used as the given point at which fruit will reach maturity, as far as pounds-solids content is concerned. "Processors will benefit by being able to forecast the cost involved in their operations," Mullin said. The system also will benefit the marketing of products and the merchandising activities of the citrus commission, Mullin said.

The institute is sponsored by the citrus advisory committees of Hernando, Citrus, Hillsborough, Manatee, Pasco, Pinellas and Sarasota counties and is one of the major citrus institutes in Florida. lor worn on me ross rionaa Barge Canal.

Conner said Florida citrus is sprayed with poisonous parathion. but the amount used is .04 parts per million.

He said this is far less than the one part per million allowed for safety. Conner said the Police Gazette's June issue said a 12-year-old Okeechobee County boy died after peeling an orange with his teeth and eating it The orange had been sprayed with parathion. Conner said the depart- ment's laboratory tested oranges from the grove near the boy's home and found only a slight trace of parathion. Moreover, he said, a coroner's jury reported the boy died of pulmonary edema an excess of fluid in the lungs and ruled out oranges as the cause of death. Conner said his department has been keeping a close watch over use of pesticides in fruit and vegetable producing areas.

"We have analyzed hundreds of samples of oranges in the past five or six years," he said, "and have not found a single over-the-tolerance level of parathion." Conner said the Police Gazette's story could bring serious economic damage to the citrus industry. 2 West Coast mental hospital branch in Her- nando County was proposed yesterday.
