FARMERS' INSTITUTE WAS GREAT SUCCESS Important Topics Discussed by Men and Women of Experience—Interesting Meet Largely attended and instructive sessions of the farmers' institute were held in this city on Friday and Saturday. The attendance was good, but the importance of many of the subjects discussed was such that every farmer in the county should have been present. Not a single farmer can long afford to ignore such truths as fell from the lips of James Mills of Riverside in his address on "Cover Crops," nor were the papers read by local men lacking in interest and importance to those who wish to be successful in farming. Mrs. Basley's talk upon poultry was one of the best of the institute. A poultry-raiser asked the question, "What makes my chicks crowd in the brooder?" He had lost many that way. Quick came the answer from this gifted lady, "Your out. Mr. Chapman always welcome when he speaks because they do throw cull orange Spadra street.

Mrs. Basley's talk upon poultry was one of the best of the institute. A poultry-raiser asked the question, "What makes my chicks crowd in the brooder?" He had lost many that way. Quick came the answer from this gifted lady, "Your chicks crowd-together because they are cold." That was simplicity itself, yet, backed by the opinion of one who is regarded as an authority upon the subject, was at once accepted as convincing and conclusive. Mr. Braunton's talk upon street and ornamental trees was a classic. Mr. Chapman's address upon Orange Growing for Profit, as well as Pleasure, was delivered in his usual interesting manner, and was listened to with close attention through- Anaheim Cash Group Headquarters for Chamberlain's Chick Food, Cream Egg Food.

It was the first time people had to see Mr. Neff preach an institute. Very flattering it have come of his work at institutes throughout Southern Indiana, and he has been personally mentored by the University peo- the success attending his efforts in meetings. Anaheim adds its praise to the other localities. Neff seems to be the right man in right place. The meetings were arranged and largely attended. Effect cannot but be entirely benefited by the whole county. Sessions began on Friday morning 10 o'clock, when Mr. Neff called meeting to order. The hall in the rogue building had been tastefully decorated with evergreens and sand presented a very handsome dance. The address of welcome delivered by W. H. Spake, who kindly greeting and hospitalize to all. Response was made Sherman of Fresno. M. E. Sherman of Fresno read a paper of the institute, "The Garden." Knapp's paper, "Growing Peppers," was of more practical and elicited great interest, follo- by the most general discussion day. At its conclusion many bring inferior prices than those raised here. Dr. Sherman suggested the organization of a chilli-growers' association, so that Anaheim might get the credit for raising this crop, instead of having it shipped out indiscriminately by Los Angeles wholesalers. The first speaker at the afternoon session was Mrs. A. Basley of Hollywood, whose subject was Poultry. Mrs. Basley spoke for an hour and a half, answering many questions at conclusion of her address. Poultry raisers who missed hearing this talented woman missed a rare intellectual treat. Ernest Braunton of Los Angeles spoke upon Street and Ornamental Trees, giving the institute one of the best talks of the day. The eye of this notable landscape gardener must have been struck by the acacia trees lining our sidewalks, surrounded as they are in places by weeds as tall as themselves. "Keep your ornamental trees free of weeds, and give them plenty of water," was Mr. Braunton's advice. Miss Edna Ames and a class of high school girls favored the audience with a vocal selection, and in response to applause responded with an encore. George L. Wagner's paper on Potato Culture brought the afternoon session to a close.

Wagner’s paper on Potato Culture brought the afternoon session to a close. His paper was full of interest, and many questions were asked and answered by Mr. Wagner, who has been thoroughly successful at the business of raising potatoes. A most important address was that on Cover Crops by James Mills of Riverside, which was the first of the evening session. Mr. Mills is superintendent of the largest orange orchard in the world, and during the past year experimented with 287 varieties of leguminous plants. Farmers in Orange county who plow under barley and rye, in the fond hope that they are enriching their soil, should have heard the wonderful story told by Mr. Mills. A man who plows under barley in order to get nitrogen is a nitrogenous nodule. Mr. Mills spoke for more than an hour, giving his experience in plowing under cover crops, putting humus in the soil, rendering the soil fertile, necessitating less water for irrigation, pulverizing the ground and making it easier upon one’s horse in producing better crops, giving one a larger bank account and conducing to the comfort of the home and family circle. The subject of Cover Crops is by odds the most important now before the farmers of the State. If farmers grow them they will be successful; if they do not, they will not. C. C. Chapman spoke on Orange Growing for Profit. He said he would amplify the subject by adding the words “and for Pleasure.” He commended Mr. Mills’ fine talk on Cover Crops, declared that his experience attested the truth of that gentleman’s theory, and added he was himself growing vetches throughout his orchard. Mr. Chapman said no man can make a success of an enterprise unless he takes pleasure in his work. He spoke along these lines, saying that while profits must necessarily follow intelligent cultivation, yet unless a man take pleasure in his work he would not achieve his full measure of success. There was no fear of over-production. He cautioned his hearers. A committee on resolution pointed, consisting of W. B. Rea and Henry Kueb mittee met on Monday to the following resolution: Resolved, By the farm citizens of Anaheim to the close of the most instructive of farmers’ We thank J. B.

Mr. Chapman said no man can make a success of an enterprise unless he takes pleasure in his work. He spoke along these lines, saying that while profits must necessarily follow intelligent cultivation, yet unless a man take pleasure in his work he would not achieve his full measure of success. There was no fear of overproduction. He cautioned his hearers, not to raise oranges merely, but to raise fine oranges. There could be no overproduction of such fruit. During the evening the city band, under the leadership of Prof. Walter Crowther, discoursed music which called for hearty applause. The question box was in evidence on Saturday morning, when a fair attendance of farmers were present for the opening session. Mr. Neff answered questions regarding walnut culture and Mr. Mills did the same for cover crops. Questions were asked upon a wide-range of subjects and prompt and satisfactory answers given. The first paper was upon Berry Culture, by D. Gervais. In response to a question by Mr. Mills, who said he was interested in the subject, Mr. Gervais said strawberries yielded $500 per acre. The expense, he said, was one-half this sum. Mr. Mills said that land which yielded such returns was worth $2000 per acre. Land was cheap about Anaheim, he said, "because you don't know what you've got." E. G. Ware of Garden Grove read an interesting paper upon Walnut Culture. Mr. Ware is always certain of a respectful hearing when talking upon walnuts, for he is an authority upon their culture, and his paper was one of the most important of the institute. Smith and Martin bill permitting tries in forest reservation house was considering Mr. Smith secured the amendment excepting reserves from the accession Now, through Senator Clinton the Senate has stricken amendment. Flint says there are no farming land in California which may as well be settled. Smith adopts exist, but contends that "no fence" law of California tering of farms through tion will practically destitute ability as cattle range will not have to fence to protect crops, and cattlemen follow up herds to prevent injuring somebody's back. Smith and Flint hadence over the matter, agree. Accordingly the conference committee, Flint and Smith will be hearing in an effort to other.

Smith and Flint A pretty contest is reported from Washington between Senator Flint and Representative Smith over the bill permitting homestead enclosure forest reservations. When the case was considering the measure, Smith secured the adoption of an amendment excepting the California laws from the act's provisions. Through Senator Flint's efforts, Senate has stricken out the Smith amendment. Smith says there are plenty of plats forming land in California reserves that may as well be opened up for development. Smith admits such plats but contends that, owing to the "foreance" law of California, the scat-ting of farms through the reservoir will practically destroy their availability as cattle ranges; for farmers not have to fence the land to crops, and cattlemen will have to buy up herds to prevent them from being somebody's barley and corn. Smith and Flint had a long conference over the matter, but could not agree. Accordingly the bill went to a reference committee, before which Smith will both ask for a ruling in an effort to convince each other. "The no fence" law does not apply over western states where there is instead entry to forest reservations.
