VAST EMPIRE OF THE WEST CALIFORNIA PIONEERING WAY TO ITS DEVELOPMENT Embracing One-Fifth Country's Area It Contains One-Twentieth Its Population—Fertile Lands Offering Inviting Field for Investment—Wonderful Resources and Development Opportunity is writ large in our western land, for there is the Nation's safety valve for relief from congested population conditions even now receiving serious consideration of political economists of the East. In our western country, embracing California, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Utah, Nevada and Arizona, is a combined area of 717,000 square miles—one-fifth of the total area of the United States—yet having a combined population of but 4,000,000 people—less than one-twentieth of the total population of the country. It has an area equal to the combined areas of all the states east of the Mississippi river with the exception of New Hampshire, Alabama and Mississippi, yet its total population is less than that of the city of New York. In the eastern states, which it equals in area, is a population of 60,000,000, and to have our region so densely populated would require 56,000,000 more than are now in the seven Pacific States. In this vast, undeveloped empire California the Golden stands in the forefront. California, the land of poetry and of song. California, the land of romance and of sentiment. California, whose beckoning handing the best results. Irrigation could be used to advantage in any country, and on any farm in the world. Irrigation in California, therefore, is the means of highest development under the most genial skies. Speaking of genial skies brings me to California climate. You all have heard of California climate, for it is the topic of conversation of every Californian who has traveled away from home. All sorts of stories are told of the wonderful properties of our climate, some of them bordering on the improbable. I have heard some people doubt the truth of the following story: A young man left his home in Illinois to try his fortune in California. He had been there but a short time when he received word that his old father and mother were very ill, and if he wished to see them alive he must hurry back home. He had no money, and the best he could do was to take his bicycle and start. In course of time he reached his old home, to find that his father had passed away, and his mother was almost in her last gasp. He trundled his faithful bicycle into the house and had but time to greet his mother when he was asked to hurry to the drug store to get a prescription filled. On his return he was surprised to see that his mother was greatly improved. She got better rapidly and before night was out of bed. The village doctor was quite chesty over his remarkable cure, and as the young man took his bicycle out of the room he noticed that when he came in a tack on the floor had punctured his tire and the California air in it had effected the marvelous cure of his mother. I do not vouch for the truth of the story, but I can assure you that our sands of acresings devoted been divided whose orchard come annual enormous to 200; into affluent try yards and ducing other grand totalition to more year. California's four years ago $600,000,000. was $1,005,000. 66' per cent. agricultur increase of 33% 000,000, an in forestry, fish the list. Yet with a california's mannural industrial fancy. Unbe open for ther greatest world, for all the industry,$5,000,000 every year to California is try raising,y 000 worth off year to meet so superior and poultry brings much shipped in. I a clipping frieing the Unit Department w production of an annual stating that i In the eastern states, which it equals in area, is a population of 60,000,000, and to have our region so densely populated would require 56,000,000 more than are now in the seven Pacific States. In this vast, undeveloped empire California the Golden stands in the forefront. California, the land of poetry and of song. California, the land of romance and of sentiment. California, whose beckoning hand calls to the farmer of all lands to come and enjoy the best there is in life. Have you ever stopped to think what California means to the nation? Have you ever considered its relation to the Atlantic seaboard of the United States? Let us take a map and make a few observations. A line drawn across the northern border of California to the Atlantic touches Boston, away up in Massachusetts, and a similar line drawn from the southern border of California strikes Savannah, Georgia. On the Atlantic side we find eleven states washed by the waters of the ocean in the same distance that California extends on the Pacific side. On the one side we have Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina and Georgia; on the other side we have California, on whose broad and welcoming bosom we can place all of New England, all of New York, all of Pennsylvania, all of Ohio, all of New Jersey and still have room left for a good sized state. California has an area, in round numbers, of 100,000,000 acres, which may be classified in order that you will have a better idea of what I desire to say, as follows: Swamp land, reclaimed and possible of reclamation, 2,000,000 acres; irrigated lands and those possible of irrigation under present systems, 2,800,000 acres; agricultural land which may be irrigated, 8,200,000 acres; agricultural land not requiring irrigation, 7,000,000 acres. This makes a total of arable lands under present conditions of 20,000,000 acres. The other 80,000,000 acres may be divided as follows: Government land, desert and mountain, 20,000,000 acres; grazing, mineral and timber land under private ownership, 35,000,- 900 acres; forest reserve, 25,000,000 acres. Of the desert land owned by the Government, the grazing, mineral and timber land in private ownership, and the forest reserve it is estimated to see that his mother was greatly improved. She got better rapidly and before night was out of bed. The village doctor was quite chesty over his remarkable cure, and as the young man took his bicycle out of the room he noticed that when he came in a tack on the floor had punctured his tire and the California air in it had effected the marvelous cure of his mother. I do not vouch for the truth of the story, but I can assure you that our climate does things almost as marvelous when combined with our soil and our water. California soil has this peculiar quality—it is unwashed. Do you catch my meaning? We have no torrential rains in California, and the nitrogenous principles of the soil are not washed by storms. Not only is this true, but irrigation increases the life-giving qualities of the soil by bringing to it the detritus of the hills, which is deposited over the land to such an extent that it is not impoverished by constant cropping. This condition combined with a climate of such geniality that cows may feed on green grass from year end to year end, means much for the farmer, for it gives him absolute assurance of what his crop will be. The average farmer elsewhere puts his seed in the ground on a gamble. There is no certainty of harvest. The California farmer puts his seed in the ground with such certainty that bankers can almost compute to a dollar what they are going to get out of it, and make their preparations for the necessary cash to harvest and market the product long months before the crop is ready. California climate has another peculiarity. It knows neither north nor south. Isothermal lines do not run east and west in California. They run north and south. In the minds of some who are not conversant with conditions is the thought that the southern part of California is the summer land and the northern part is covered with snow and ice nearly all the year. California is 800 miles from north to south; as I said before, from Boston to Savannah, and San Francisco is about half way between the northern and southern boundaries. San Francisco is also about half way between the northern and southern limit of citrus fruit growing. In other words, oranges grow nearly as far north of San Francisco, in California, as they grow south of that city. Not only is this worth of your time to meet so superior and poultry brings much shipment in. I am a clipping freighting the University Department where production of an annual stating that if the wheat crop swine crop California's poultry amounted too has a market that amounted to ten or two will bring great tilted 160. The man was small farm ores in California as much as large farm elevators but he never severe winter work because is surrounded with telephone trict library national system makes for hapless It is said land of romance goes that makes for California is the does not sent Sentiment biased than business between man bore him; seeing to the call flag we lose the land of slander and we have sentiment and all the world arms and saffalate California spare for all Come out to orange turp Where Nature art of turn Where there's year that Where there's streams oWhere there's ment tha This makes a total of arable lands under present conditions of 20,000,000 acres. The other 80,000,000 acres may be divided as follows: Government land, desert and mountain, 20,000,000 acres; grazing, mineral and timber land under private ownership, 35,000,000 acres; forest reserve, 25,000,000 acres. Of the desert land owned by the Government, the grazing, mineral and timber land in private ownership, and the forest reserve, it is estimated that eventually 20,000,000 acres will come under scientific cultivation. Just a word about the pseudo desert land of California. Lying in the southeastern corner of the state is a vast area of sand and alkaline desert, apparently barren, and sterile. In the extreme southeastern corner is the county of Imperial, formed two years ago. Seven years ago this entire county was also desert, barren and sterile, facing the blazing sun, nor water nor vegetation in all its vast expanse to temper the torridity. Six years ago a little band of surveyors passed along, laying out the course of an irrigating ditch. Today dozens of towns and cities dot this desert with modern civilization in every sense of the word, and are the homes of thousands of happy and prosperous citizens, dependent upon more than 200,000 acres of the richest land lying in all out-doors. All brought about by the magic touch of water on the desert. Other millions of acres of such desert land wait but the coming of irrigating ditches to become equally fertile and equally productive. In countries where irrigation is not practiced there is a mistaken idea in the minds of most farmers as to the exact status of irrigation. Let me impress upon you this idea: Irrigation is not a substitute for rain. It is the scientific application of water to the soil for the purpose of bring- is covered with snow and ice nearly all the year. California is 800 miles from north to south; as I said before, from Boston to Savannah, and San Francisco is about half way between the northern and southern boundaries. San Francisco is also about half way between the northern and southern limit of citrus fruit growing. In other words, oranges grow nearly as far north of San Francisco, in California, as they grow south of that city. Not only is this true, but the first oranges of the season, six weeks earlier than the fruit from the southern part of the state, come from the Sacramento valley, north of the middle line of California. This, with the later fruit from the southern part of the state, brings a harvest of oranges in California practically all the year round. Another alchemy was dominated by the theory that somewhere existed the element necessary to transmute baser metals into gold. Modern alchemy in California has discovered this missing element, and the baser metal grain is being transmuted into golden fruit by water trickling through thousands of irrigating canals. It is from this lesson that we learn the possibilities of productivity of California soil. Fifteen years ago California was the great wheat state, with a production of from 40,000,000 to 50,000,000 bushels every year, at a proximate total value of from $35,000,000 to $45,000,000. Under best conditions of crop and price it sometimes reached as high as $60,000,000. California's wheat crop of 1909 is 5,775,000 bushels, valued approximately at $7,000,000. When California's wheat crop reached $60,000,000 it was said that this was the limit of the production of her soil, and if we were to stop with the consideration of the wheat crop we might think the State had retrograded in her productivity. But there is another side of the shield.

Walnut Shipments Total Many Carloads According to estimates at the walnut packing houses in this county, exclusive of the Fullerton, Anaheim and Placentia districts, their shipment for the season will reach 288 carloads. The bulk of the crop has moved, and there remains but few carloads from each packing-house still to go. Of the 288 carloads, 228 went from Santa Ana, making Santa Ana the biggest shipping point for walnuts in the United States. The associations this year controlled sixty-five or seventy more carloads than they did last year. Even with that locality remains the strong hold of the independent shippers of California. The association estimate for the season are: Santa Ana valley walnut growers' association, shipped from Santa Ana, ninety carloads; Richland walnut growers' association, shipped from Orange, thirty carloads; San Juan Capistrano walnut growers' association, shipped from San Juan Capistrano, thirty carloads. The independent houses report as follows: all from Santa Ana: Gowan & Willard, 110 carloads; Smith & Miner, fifteen carloads; C. C. Collins, thirteen carloads. These nuts will total between $610,000 and $640,000 for the growers. The Santa Ana association alone by the end of the season will have distributed $200,000. This association will receive no more walnuts this season. Suit to dissolve partnership with a petition for a receiver has been being gun in the Superior Court by James A.

Why, the $2000 Buick, one of the lowest priced cars in the race, wins the most grueling contest in the world, over the roughest mountain and desert roads, roads that are no roads at all, mere trails among the rocks and sagebrush; defeating the following high-priced and high-powered cars: Columbia $2,900, Kisselkar $3,150, Isotti $6,000, Pennsylvania $3,000, Elmore $2,650, Dorris $2,650, Franklin $3,900. Think of going over this route of 500 miles in 19 hours, 13 minutes, 30 seconds, chopping 11 hrs, 12 min. 30 sec. from last year's record, which was, at the time, considered phenomenal. NOW LISTEN Now listen—the BUICK had not a single breakdown, in spite of this terrific speed, no broken axles, steering knuckles, frames nor striped gears, which disabled most of the cars. Doesn't this show conclusively that, when you pay a big price for a car you are not always getting something for your money, no better material—perhaps not so good—as the result of this race seems to show.
