"Our tank developing machine have fogged many films recently we have abandoned their use, the trouble seems to be due to the carbon paper on the autograph film which keeps the developer from penetrating; the apertures are present seem to allow penetration O.K., but the films even when first soaked in water to facilitate that even penetration of developer are faulty or streaky when taken from the tanks.
The oranges we have purchased here in the market have been very fine flavor. A large Mandarin or Tangerine as we know it, was bought here. They are as large as an average orange & fine flavored yet juicy just particularly dry. In color they are deep orange red spire on a fine perfume. A redder orange was found here quite similar to our Mand produce in flavor texture which if doubled its ancestral stock although no mand is present"
