The Secretary, having reason to be lieve that the issuance of an order would tend to effectuate the declared policy of the act with respect to the establish ment and maintenance of such orderly marketing conditions for grapefruit grown in the State of Arizona; in Im perial County, California; and in that part of Riverside County, California, situated south and east of the San Gor gonio Pass, as would establish prices to
the producers of such grapefruit at a level that would give such grapefruit a purchasing power with respect to articles that the producers thereof buy equiva lent to the purchasing power of such grapefruit during the base period, August 1919-July 1929, conducted a public hear ing1 at Yuma, Arizona, on October 15, 1940, pursuant to due notice given to all interested parties on September 27,1940, on a proposed order regulating such handling of such grapefruit as is in the current of interstate or foreign com merce, or which directly burdens, ob structs, or affects such commerce in such grapefruit, at which hearing all interested persons in attendance were afforded due opportunity to be heard concerning the proposed order.

in Imperial County, California; and in that part of Riverside County, California, situated south and east of the San Gor gonio Pass, during the period August 1909-July 1914 cannot be satisfactorily determined from available statistics of the Department of Agriculture, but that the purchasing power of such grapefruit can be satisfactorily determined from available statistics of the Department of Agriculture for the period August 1919July 1929, and that the period August 1919-July 1929 is the base period to be used in connection with this order in determining the purchasing power of such grapefruit.
The Secretary finds upon the basis of the evidence introduced at the hearing and the record thereof:
1 That the terms and provisions of this order prescribe, so far as practicable, such different terms, applicable to differ ent production areas, as are necessary to give due recognition to the differences in production and marketing of such grapefruit;
