Book excerpt: Excerpt from Annual Report of the California Avocado Association for the Years 1918 and 1919: Including Reports of the Third Annual Meeting Held in Los Angeles, May 18 and 19, 1918, and the Fourth Annual Meeting Held in Pasadena, May 9 and 10, 1919; Issued July, 1919 Notwithstanding the World War and the epidemic of influenza, the membership has increased rapidly during the last year. More than 100 new members have been taken into the Association since May 1st, 1918. It is to be hoped that this growth may continue and even increase, for many years to come, as the future work and efficiency of the Association depend largely upon the increase in membership. Up to the present time the work of the Association has naturally been devoted, in a large measure, to the study of varieties and scientific investigations of the avocado as a food. It is our intention, not only to continue extensive work in these directions, but to take up also the prob lems of marketing fruit, the susceptibility of the avocado to hot and cold weather, the standardization of pack for shipment, the regulation, as far as possible, of the prices for different varieties, the keeping of individual tree records, the education of the public to a more general use of avocados, and any other problems which may arise as the industry grows.
