FINLEY ENTERS THE RACE Tells Democratic Convention he Will Make the Race Eighty delegates to the democratic county convention assembled at Spurgeon's hall, Santa Ana, on Saturday morning, trotted out Col. Finley for the assembly, adopted resolutions and decided to move forward in solid phalanx for "them offices." They endorsed the democratic nominees selected at the primaries August 16, but withheld it from republicans whom the democratic rank and file placed upon their party ticket. There was talk in the convention early that a number of republicans had been elected as delegates, and it later developed that the entire Olinda delegation were of the republican faith—in fact, the same as those selected as delegates to the republican convention. These delegates did not appear, and the precinct went unrepresented. Dr. Gordon, chairman of the county central committee, called the meeting to order, and Secretary C. D. Overshiner read the call for the convention. D. W. McDannald offered a resolution on order of business, which was adopted. Dr. Gordon announced that the delegates were also delegates to the convention to be held in May, 1912, which convention shall elect delegates to the state convention, which shall elect delegates to the 1912 national convention. E. J. Marks of Fullerton was unanimously elected permanent chairman of the convention, and D. W. McDannald of Berrydale secretary. These officers are to hold over as permanent sense of the convention that Col. S. H. Finley "get in and run," his name already being on the ticket, and that the convention "pledge him its support." The motion carried. Col. Finley stated that recently he had made up his mind never to run for public office again, and he would not now take the nomination were he expected to make any very active fight, but in view of the past favors of the party he would deem it gratitude were he to fail to respond to the call of the party. "I will do what I can to secure the election," said he. Following the convention the central committee organized by electing W. L. Duggan, Santa Ana, chairman, and C. D. Overshiner, Santa Ana, secretary. WINE MEN WANT CHANGE Government Asked to Amend Rulings As to Alcohol Complaints by Southern California wine manufacturers concerning ruling of the internal revenue bureau at Washington and objections to existing laws will be investigated by Royal E. Cabell, commissioner of internal revenue, who will arrive in Los Angeles Aug. 30 from the national capital for a stay of several days. The principal complaint of the wine men is with regard to the law which limits to 10 per cent the amount of alcohol that may be added to wine to bring it to a total of 24 per cent. The wine men are willing to limit the total to 21 per cent, but want the law so changed as to permit the addition of as much as 17 per cent to make the total 21. Such a change would increase the revenue received by the government from the wine industry. DROUTH-RESISTANCE "Dry Farming" Crops Distinct Group Address by Prof. A before the Western K Conference. Drought-resistant crops which are adapted to may be divided into different and distinct groups: 1. Early maturing grow rapidly and ripen available soil moisture or before the hot, dry gins; such as winter spring grains. 2. Crops which root ther their moisture so large volume of soil, and certain grasses. 3. Hardy, vigorous which are able to cease the soil becomes too unfavorable main in a dormant rain comes, when they of the favorable condition rapidly, simply reach little later than would case if they had been unfavorable condition riod of growth. These drought resistant crops corn, sorghum, buffalo er native grasses of th.

E. J. Marks of Fullerton was unanimously elected permanent chairman of the convention, and D. W. McDannald of Berrydale secretary. These officers are to hold over as permanent officers for the May, 1912, county convention. Dr. Gordon moved that a committee of three be appointed on credentials. "This is necessary," said Dr. Gordon, "for we find in one precinct that every delegate elected is a straight-out republican." Dr. Gordon and Dr. Menges of Santa Ana and J. J. Schneider of Anaheim were appointed on credentials. W. T. Brown of Fullerton and W. L. Bentley of Westminster were appointed as committee on resolutions. The convention adopted resolutions in substance as follows: 1. We rejoice in the belated awakening of this state to the necessity of emancipation from corporate influence, that the emancipation has long been prevented by the control of the republican party by "machine politicians," that the surest step that can be taken to this emancipation is to elect Theodore A. Bell governor. 2. That the only way to stop graft is to elect public officials who will be guided by honesty and economy. 3. We favor permanent improvement of highways, but oppose a state bond issue and favor doing the work by county action. 4. We oppose bonding the state for exposition purposes, and we oppose "the lavish and wasteful expenditure of public funds which has characterized the various departments of the state." 5. We condemn the reciprocal demurrage act, as favoring the railroads as against the shipper. 6. We endorse the direct primary, and favor an honest revision of it. We regret that some democrats registered as republicans, thus defeating the purpose of the act. We believe in non-partisan voting at elections, but oppose the members of one party interfering with another party. 7. We believe that in selection of county officers ability, experience and personal fitness should be considered rather than party affiliation. 8. We endorse the candidates nominated for county offices by the democrats. The principal complaint of the wine men is with regard to the law which limits to 10 per cent the amount of alcohol that may be added to wine to bring it to a total of 24 per cent. The wine men are willing to limit the total to 21 per cent, but want the law so changed as to permit the addition of as much as 17 per cent to make the total 21. Such a change would increase the revenue received by the government from the wine industry. Another change which the wine men wish is in the certification or tagging of wine in vats. They want it so fixed that wine may be certified as to eligibility for fortification, leaving it to the manufacturer to determine later, should he desire, whether it will be finished into sweet or sour wine. Commissioner Cabell is said to be greatly interested in the California wine industry, in which $60,000,000 is invested in Southern California alone and it is expected he will make recommendations that will be helpful to the winemaking. Accompanied by Claude Parker, collector of internal revenue for this district, Commissioner Cabell will visit wineries in Southern California, and later will go to San Francisco to attend a conference of revenue collectors of the Pacific coast. SANTA ANA The Orange County Carnival of Products promises to be the biggest and best ever held in the valley. The executive committee has re-engaged Holbrook of Los Angeles, who so successfully superintended the designing of the floats last year., and will give him authority to make everything in this line more elaborate than ever before. Work on the floats is now in progress. The committee has made a generous appropriation for poultry exhibit prizes and equipment to attract entries from all parts of Southern California. Los Angeles firms are contributing towards the carnival fund. Miss Emeline Petersen, who will be Queen of the Carnival, already has three malds of honor, Buena Park having chosen Miss Agnes Hardin, La Habra naming Miss Ella Proud and Huntington Beach choosing Miss Mamie Bushard. A new bank is projected for Santa Ana, and final plans are making this week. The names of those mentioned as stockholders are W. F. Lutz, A.J. Visel, M. Nisson, E.A. Stocklaid of growth.

A new bank is projected for Santa Ana, and final plans are making this week. The names of those mentioned as stockholders are W. F. Lutz, A.J. Visel, M. Nisson, E.A. Stocklager, Charles Ross, Fred Ross. Probably the amount of capital stock will be $100,000, and the bank will likely be located on the southwest corner of Fourth and Bush streets. TUSTIN A mule and a motorcycle were the prime factors in a double runaway at Tustin. The motorcycle, in action, scared the mule, which was being driven by a Spanish youth and immediately the mule began to run. As the fleeing animal turned the first corner that came in its way, it collided with a horse and buggy. The buggy was overturned, spilling its occupants, N.S.Long, and his daughter, Miss Louise Long, and the frightened horse took its turn at running away. Miss Louise, unhurt, was left behind, but the buggy, righting itself, went bouncing along after the flying, frightened animal. Meantime, Mr.Long was having an exciting experience. He had wound the lines around his hands as the horse started to run, so was dragged along the ground at an automobile rate. After a block or so of this man and buggy were both released by the collision of the buggy with a telephone pole. The buggy was smashed, but Mr.Long escaped with nothing worse than painful bruises.

DROUTH-RESISTING CROP "Dry Farming" Crops Divided Into Distinct Groups Address by Prof. A. M. TenEyck, before the Western Kansas Farmers' Conference. Drouth-resistant crops, or crops which are adapted to "dry-farming" may be divided into three quite different and distinct groups, as follows: 1. Early maturing crops, which grow rapidly and ripen before the available soil moisture is used up, or before the hot, dry weather begins; such as winter wheat and early spring grains. 2. Crops which root deeply and gather their moisture supply from a large volume of soil, such as alfalfa and certain grasses. 3. Hardy, vigorous growing crops, which are able to cease growth when the soil becomes too dry or conditions become too unfavorable, and remain in a dormant state until the rain comes, when they make quick use of the favorable conditions, growing rapidly, simply reaching maturity a little later than would have been the case if they had been subject to no unfavorable conditions during the period of growth. These last are true drouth resistant crops, such as kafir corn, sorghum, buffalo grass and other native grasses of the western plain. The crops which belong to the last named class, as a rule, do not root deeply, but the plants develop an abundant and extensive growth of roots in the surface soil, which enables them to take advantage of light rains and to quickly absorb a large part of the water which enters the soil, thus securing greater supply of APPLES IN PACIFIC GROUP Largest Crop of Exceptionally Good Quality Ever Harvested Spokane, Wash., Aug. 27.—Apple growers in the Pacific or box group, taking in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, California, New Mexico, Utah and Colorado, will this year have the largest crop ever harvested in these states and the fruit promises to be of exceptionally good quality, according to a report on the condition of the yield in the United States and Canada, received by W.D. Finley, assisnt secretary in Spokane of the fifth dry farming congress, from C. P. Rothwell, secretary of the international apple shippers' association. The report says in part: "The Pacific group shows a decline in but one important state — Colorado. There are heavy increases in Washington and Oregon, and heavy increases in the less important states of Idaho and Utah. The important state of California shows a moderate increase of 15 per cent, and for the whole group an increase of 50 per cent over a year ago is promised." The output of Washington and Idaho will be 200 per cent better than in 1909, Mr. Rothwell says, while the Oregon crop will be 175 per cent ahead of last year. Montana and New Mexico are 10 per cent under a year ago; Utah, 100 per cent better; California, 15 per cent increase and Colorado, 30 per cent less than in the year 1909. "In accordance with the practice of our association for several years," Mr. Rothwell explains, "we make last year's crop in each state the basis for this year's estimate, increasing or diminishing the percentage as the correspondingly lighter." rod of growth. These last are true drought resistant crops, such as kafir cern, sorghum, buffalo grass and other native grasses of the western plain The crops which belong to the last named class, as a rule, do not root deeply, but the plants develop an abundant and extensive growth of roots in the surface soil, which enables them to take advantage of light rains and to quickly absorb a large part of the water which enters the soil, thus securing greater supply of water under certain conditions and allowing less waste water by surface evaporation than occurs with a deeper rooting crop of fibrous roots in the surface soil. It appears also that certain of these crops actually require less water to produce growth than some other crops which are not considered especially drought resistant. Aside from the character which such crops possess of taking advantage of the conditions under which they grow, these drought resistant crops are different in some ways from ordinary crops in the quality named above, in that they are able to stop growing during unfavorable weather and with unfavorable soil conditions, renewing their growth again when conditions become better. This character in a plant is not well understood. It seems to be a characteristic which has been bred into the plant by continual exposure to the conditions under which it is able to grow. We find that most of the crops adapted for growing on the western plains have been imported from foreign countries which have a semi-arid climate similar to the climate of the western plains. These crops have been bred and grown for centuries, perhaps, in the countries from which they have been brought, and the character of being drought resistant has become a quality of the plant, the same as the character of being hardy in a cold climate has become the nature of certain varieties of fruit and of many crops. Without doubt, certain crops are more drought resistant than others, but successful dry land farming depends largely upon the character of the soil, the preparation of the seedbed and the culture which the crop receives. The only soils which may be made to produce crops without irrigation in the semi-arid regions are soils which have great moisture holding capacity. It takes water to produce drought resistant crops as well as to produce crops grown under ordinary circumstances, and a thin soil underlaid by a gravelly sandy soil will provide Oregon crop will be 175 per cent ahead of last year. Montana and New Mexico are 10 per cent under a year ago; Utah, 100 per cent better; California, 15 per cent increase, and Colorado, 30 per cent less than in the year 1909. "In accordance with the practice of our association for several years," Mr. Rothwell explains, "we make last year's crop in each state the basis for this year's estimate, increasing or diminishing the percentage as the crop is correspondingly lighter or heavier. For illustration: If a given state is rated at 20 per cent, it then means the crop this year is equal to four-fifths of the crop of a year ago or if given at 200 per cent the crop in such state is just twice as large as a year ago. "Upon the important question of quality I will say that it is decidedly better than in 1909. New England, New York and Ohio all promise a much better quality than a year ago, as does all the southern group, while the Pacific group promises exceptionally good quality for the entire group, which will be the heaviest ever harvested. "The middle west or Ben Davis group ranges from poor to good in quality, with a considerable portion of it of only fair quality. Illinois, Nebraska and Iowa show considerable decrease, while Arkansas, Oklahoma, Kansas and Indiana have substantial increases. "The central group, which is the largest producing group, shows increases in Ohio, Delaware and New Jersey over last year; Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin show considerable decline, with the increases not being sufficient to offset the shortage, and this group shows a decline from last year of 5 to 19 per cent. "The New England group shows an increase in the entire section, except the unimportant state of Rhode Island, and for the whole group the entire crop this year promises to be above 40 per cent in excess of last year. "In the southern group, the important state of Virginia shows a decided increase over last year, with a considerable increase in West Virginia and Kentucky, Maryland alone showing a decrease in this group. This group shows an increase of fully 50 per cent over a year ago. "Canada, not including the province of Nova Scotia, shows a decline of 30 per cent over a year ago, early varieties promising relatively better than winter varieties. The Nova..." others, but successful dry land farming depends largely upon the character of the soil, the preparation of the seedbed and the culture which the crop receives. The only soils which may be made to produce crops without irrigation in the semi-arid regions are soils which have great moisture holding capacity. It takes water to produce drouth resistant crops as well as to produce crops grown under ordinary circumstances, and a thin soil underlaid by a gravelly or coarse, sandy subsoil will produce, if at all, only when water is supplied in sufficient quantity during the period of crop growth, while soil which retains moisture well may produce crops even without much rainfall during the growing season. Prof. H. B. Linfield, of the Montana Experiment Station, says on this subject: "I have seen a paying crop grown on land ranging from a clayey loam to almost sandy, when the subsoll was not porous." The presence of a large amount of humus in the soil also increases its moisture capacity and its power to retain water, and is an important requisite to insure against the injurious effects of drought. It is true of the soil in a large part of the west that it is lacking in humus, and for this reason its water holding power is not so great as it might be, resulting often in low yields and crop failures in an unfavorable season. EMIGRANT CAP ROAD NOW IN GOOD CONDITION State Engineer Ellery has now completed the repair to the Emigrant Cap road, that runs from Emigrant Cap to Donner lake, through Placer and Nevada counties, and it will be in first class condition for travel this winter. It is a good road for automobile travel... "In the southern group, the important state of Virginia shows a decided increase over last year, with a considerable increase in West Virginia and Kentucky, Maryland alone showing a decrease in this group. This group shows an increase of fully 50 per cent over a year ago. "Canada, not including the province of Nova Scotia, shows a decline of 30 per cent over a year ago, early varieties promising relatively better than winter varieties. The Nova Scotia district promised a good crop until recently, but a very heavy drop followed shortly after setting time, and present prospects are for a light crop, poor quality and not to exceed 40 per cent of a year ago in quantity." Mr. Rothwell closes his report in these words: "If present prospects are maintained until harvest time our country will have plenty of apples, all of better than average quality, which should have a good outlet at moderate prices to the consuming public." EIGHTEEN BUCKS KILLED Deputy Game Commissioner W. K. Robinson states that there have been eighteen bucks killed in his territory, which comprises all of Orange county and a small part of the northern end of San Diego county, since the season opened. Nearly all of these were killed within the first week following the open season. At that time the mountains were full of hunters, and the bucks that were not killed were made exceedingly fond of the thick brush. Consequently the later hunters have had little luck. A few days ago Ed Adkinson of Trabuco canyon brought down a fine buck near the old Fox place above Bell canyon." REAL ESTATE ACTIVITIES In Orange County are recorded in the offices of Williams Bros.
