Whereas, under the provisions of Pub lic Act No. 10, 73d Congress May 12, 1933, as amended and as reenacted and amended by the Agricultural Marketing Agreement Act of 1937 hereinafter re ferred to as the act , it is provided that the Secretary of Agriculture of the United States hereinafter referred to as the Secretary shall, subject to the provisions of the act, issue orders regulating such handling of certain agri cultural commodities including citrus fruit as is in the current of interstate or foreign commerce, or which directly burdens, obstructs, or affects interstate or foreign commerce in such commodi ties; and Whereas, the Secretary, having reason, to believe that the issuance of an order would tend to effectuate the declared policy of the act with respect to the establishment and maintenance of such orderly marketing conditions for oranges, grapefruit, and tangerines grown in the State of Florida as would establish prices to the producers of such fruit at a level that would give such fruit a purchasing power with respect to articles that the producers thereof buy equivalent to the purchasing power of such fruit during the base period Au gust 1919-July 1929, conducted a public hearing at Lakeland, Florida, on De cember 12, 1938, pursuant to due notice given to all interested parties on De cember 3, 1938,1 on a proposed order regulating such handling of such fruit as is in the current of interstate or foreign commerce, or which directly burdens, obstructs, or affects such com merce in such fruit, at which hearing all interested persons in attendance were 13 F. R. 2872 DI.
afforded due opportunity to be heard concerning the proposed order; and Whereas, the Secretary has found and proclaimed that the purchasing power or oranges, grapefruit, and tangerines grown in the State of Florida during the period August 1909-July 1914 cannot be satisfactorily determined from available statistics of the Department of Agricul ture, but that the purchasing power of such fruit can be satisfactorily deter mined from available statistics of the De partment of Agriculture for the period August 1919-July 1929, and that the pe riod August 1919-July 1929 is the base period to be used in connection with this order in determining the purchasing power of such fruit; and Whereas, the Secretary finds upon the basis of the evidence introduced at the hearing and the record thereof :
1 That at the time of the hearing the prices received by the producers of such fruit were at a level that gave such fruit a purchasing power with respect to ar ticles that the producers thereof buy ap preciably below the purchasing power of such fruit during the base period;
2 That the regulation of shipments of such fruit by grades or sizes, as pre scribed herein, will serve to prevent marked fluctuations in prices to the pro ducers thereof, and will establish and maintain a more stabilized market for such fruit, tending to establish prices to the producers thereof at a level that will give such fruit a purchasing bower with respect to articles that the producers thereof buy equivalent to the purchasing power of such fruit during the base period;
3 That this order is limited in its application to the smallest regional pro duction area and to the smallest re gional marketing area that is practic able, .consistently with carrying out the declared policy of the act, and that the issuance of several orders applicable to any subdivision of such regional produc tion or marketing areas would not effec tively carry out the declared policy of the act;
4 That the pro rata contribution of handlers to the expenses of the ad ministrative agency herein established, based upon the quantity of fruit shipped, as provided in this order, is fair and equitable; and 5 That this order and all the terms and conditions thereof will tend to ef fectuate the declared policy of the act with respect to oranges, grapefruit, and tangerines grown in the State of Florida by establishing and maintaining such orderly marketing conditions therefor as will establish prices to the producers thereof at a level that will give such fruit a purchasing power with respect to articles that the producers thereof buy equivalent to the purchasing power of such fruit in the base period, and by protecting the interest of the con See page 989.
