DEMONSTRATION TRAIN HERE ON SATURDAY ARRIVES AT SOUTHERN PACIFIC DEPOT AT 9 A. M. Remains Two and One-Half Hours—Cars Will Be Open to Inspection of Public—Will Visit Points in Orange County—Description of Contents of Cars, Together with List of Eminent Men Accompanying It—Public Invited The horticultural and agricultural demonstration train of the University of California will be open to the public at the Southern Pacific depot on Saturday morning, April 1, from 9 o'clock to 11:30 a.m. The public is invited to attend. The train will arrive on Friday evening, March 31, at 5:30, but the cars will not be open to the public until Saturday morning. On Friday points on the line north of this city will be visited, and on Saturday Santa Ana and Smeltzer will have a chance to see the train. The train leaves for Los Angeles Saturday afternoon and proceeds up the coast. A description of contents of the train, together with names of those accompanying it, follows: The Agronomy Division (field-crops will exhibit cereals, cover crops and forage crops best adopted to the various sections of California. There will also be shown, by placards and by demonstration, improved methods of culture for increasing the yield of grain, and other crops, as demonstrated by extensive experiments conducted in the various stations of the university. The fundamental principles of so-far farm medicines that have been the means of saving many a valuable animal. To those interested in dairy cattle a display of instruments and models illustrating recent discoveries and improvements in the prevention or treatment of contagious abortion, tuberculosis, milk fever, bloat and other important diseases of these animals will be especially instructive. To those interested in swine the literature, charts, models, specimens, and instruments dealing with the veterinary side of this important branch of farming industry will be attractive. For those interested in poultry one portion of the car will be set apart for an exhibit of caponizing instruments and specimens showing the common alliments of fowls. Dairy Industry.—This exhibit will serve to demonstrate certain approved practices in the production, distribution and manufacture of dairy products. Under production will be shown the methods of conducting herd tests, sanitary precautions to be observed in milking, and the evil effect and losses incident to careless practices in the dairy. The distribution phase will show proper methods of separating, cooling and handling milk or cream on the farm, as well as valuable suggestions in getting same to market in best condition. Under manufacture will be shown the various tests for quality and butter-fat, used in testing milk and cream upon the farm and in creameries and milk plants. Interesting conditions of manufacture will be shown in appropriate photographs. In the Horticultural division will be found a comprehensive exhibit showing methods of grafting, budding and kindred operations. Care and choice rusts, mildew, severe diseases which cause cultivated fruits, crops grown commercially, along with the methods of control of diseases. Especial even walnuts, bees which is the most effective them. Spray Hybrids, named wormia blacks and be shown. Also the grafted trees over recognition of variegated plants and control of the keynote of the Poultry.—The try division is for presenting some methods of practical military value to poultry stage of the three-tiered with two continuous house units of mention.

There will also be shown, by placards and by demonstration, improved methods of culture for increasing the yield of grain, and other crops, as demonstrated by extensive experiments conducted in the various stations of the university. The fundamental principles of so-called "dry land" farming will receive special attention in this division. Under this division will also be shown practical methods to be employed for the conservation and improvement of the fertility of California soils with respect to field crop production. The objects of the soil exhibit are to show the great depth of the soil of this region as against the shallow soils of the regions which receive rainfall throughout the year; to show the great depths to which the roots of our plants descend as against the shallow rooting of the plants in the humid region; to show the great depths to which bacteria in the soil are found and are active in this region as against their presence only in the comparatively narrow humus layer in which they work in the humid region; to emphasize from these comparisons the necessity for deep plowing and deep irrigation in order that the proper air and water conditions may exist to encourage such deep rooting and bacterial activities at great depths. Moreover, to emphasize the importance of humus in our soils and to give the methods for its production and maintenance there. It is also intended by giving exhibits of the bacteria that are found in our soils and a resume of the general chemical conditions which exist in our soils to show the relation of plant food to plant production, along with the methods that are needed to produce or maintain that plant food. Fertilizers.'—Object.—To illustrate the fact that the agricultural value of a fertilizer depends upon its charter; that a given fertilizer may produce good results on one crop and soil and under a given set of conditions and be worse than worthless on a different soil or crop or under a different set of conditions. That fertilizers should always be selected with due regard to the nature of the soil, the crop and conditions of application. To indicate the financial advantage of buying high-grade fertilizers over getting same to market in best condition. Under manufacture will be shown the various tests for quality and butter-fat, used in testing milk and cream upon the farm and in creameries and milk plants. Interesting conditions of manufacture will be shown in appropriate photographs. In the Horticultural division will be found a comprehensive exhibit showing methods of grafting, budding and kindred operations. Care and choice of young trees and pruning will also receive attention here. Care of olives and olive-oil making will be shown and explained. In this division will be found a good exhibit covering the matter of eucalyptus culture and the use of eucalyptus timber. Questions and discussion on any phase of horticultural work will be most welcome. The viticultural exhibit will include specimens, photographs and charts, illustrating the main operations of the vineyard. Special attention will be given to pruning, grafting and the control of the most serious diseases and injurious insects. A section of the exhibit will be devoted to improvements in the art of wine making. The irrigation division will comprise an exhibit of models of irrigation implements for the preparation of land for irrigation and measuring boxes for the measurement of water; of devices for the economic distribution of water; of photographs illustrating modern irrigation practice; of charts showing the best use of water. Native Birds and Mammals.—This exhibit consists of collections of native birds and mammals arranged and labelled so as to show how each species affects the farmer, and what measures are to be taken to encourage the beneficial kinds and to exterminate the injurious ones. Not all hawks and owls are harmful; some, indeed, are unquestionably of great use in serving to check the increase of ground squirrels and the meadow-mice. It is of importance, therefore, that the valuable birds be distinguished from those of harmful effect, so that they may not only be spared from destruction but encouraged to increase. Many song-birds are of great value in killing destructive insects and all should be recognized as valuable assets of the agriculturist and horticulturist. The same is true of bats, moles, shrews and skunks. Among the rodents, on the other hand, the species of emphatically harmful qualities Public Health—Thecerned essentially by total principles invocation of the public conditions. The dual and that of the paramount importation of California is made to the preservation of health with simple character. Proper sanitation farm will be dealt with control of such problems as malaria, typhoidosis, bubonic plague and sease. This phase will be illustrated through graphs and charts. A collection of newrasites and diseases included concerning mosquito, the house-hook-worm and ticks, ants, and the common horses, swine, sheep try, e.g. the hornflies lice, scab, mites, lice. Home Economics fact that the works on farms is continuous year and that this is derided easier by means devices, the exhibition planned to be suggest lighten the labor or especial attention is modern kitchen impulse as labor-reduced University Farm comprises 780 acres located at Davis, thirty Sacramento. The first instruction in all life to young men when he usual grammar is taught fifteen or more years admitted to the regina period of three eight months each. At least eighteen yeas be admitted for speci sue such studies as the curriculum and are prepared. There are horticulture, viti farm crops, soils, farry industry, animal husbandry, carpentry tany, chemistry, physics, mathematics. List of instructors cultural and horticulture train are: the fact that the agricultural value of a fertilizer depends upon its charter; that a given fertilizer may produce good results on one crop and soil and under a given set of conditions and be worse than worthless on a different soil or crop or under a different set of conditions. That fertilizers should always be selected with due regard to the nature of the soil, the crop and conditions of application. To indicate the financial advantage of buying high-grade fertilizers over buying a larger amount of low-grade material. To show how to calculate the commercial value, to estimate the agricultural value of fertilizers and show the extent which fillers or adulterants are present. Animal Industries.—This exhibit will bring before the farmers of California advanced methods in the breeding, care and handling of livestock. Very special emphasis will be placed upon the matter of swine, with particular reference to breeds that will prove valuable under western conditions of climate and available food supply. To fully illustrate the types of hogs useful for lard production and those that may be considered as bacon producers, specimens of the various types will be shown. In addition to this exceedingly interesting and important work miniature cuts of some of the farm buildings and appliances that are in direct relation to the care and handling of farm animals, with samples of animal produce, will be shown. Veterinary Science.—To Those Interested in Horses an exhibit of specimens showing the more common unsoundnesses of these animals will be attractive. There will be a display of instruments and simple meadow-mice. It is of importance, therefore, that the valuable birds be distinguished from those of harmful effect, so that they may not only be spared from destruction but encouraged to increase. Many song-birds are of great value in killing destructive insects and all should be recognized as valuable assets of the agriculturist and horticulturist. The same is true of bats, moles, shrews and skunks. Among the rodents, on the other hand, the species of emphatically harmful qualities should be known and measures taken to encourage natural means of checking their spread. Demonstrations are given showing methods of getting rid of destructive animals such as rats, mice, squirrels and gophers, by poison, trapping and fumigation. The main part of the entomological exhibit will be a practical demonstration of the operation of spray nozzles, with a complete set of the nozzles on the market, with charts, showing the performance of each nozzle, and others showing the actual spraying practice of growers in this and other states. Of special interest to schools will be the exhibit of living insects, illustrating the methods of caring for them in aquaria, ant-cages, etc., for study in the schoolroom. Bee-keepers will be interested in the new charts of the honey-producing plants of California, showing distribution and blooming periods. In the orange growing section the special attention of the demonstrator will be given to the exhibit illustrating the recent investigation of the leakage of fumigation tents. Plant Diseases.—The division of plant diseases will exhibit a full and comprehensive collection of blights, ANAHEIM GAZETTE 20,000 Why You Should Buy a $1,000 Twenty Thousand E-M-F “30” Owners They are our reasons. Each one a thinking, separate personality—each one with likes and dislikes that differentiated him from all the others, for no two out of all that immense number approached the question of “shall I buy” or “I will buy” an E-M-F “30” from quite the same reasoning point. One had to weigh carefully the question of first cost; another the “after buying cost” of upkeep. One never considered price, but was attracted by quality; another having a bent toward mechanics saw quickly the perfect chassis. One considered the financial stability of the Company behind the product; another that same company’s good faith, and so on—ad infinitum. These Men Are Representative Of all that is best and constructive in our great commonwealth. E-M-F “30” owners form a democracy of varied interests, among them being Bankers who know the value of money and its purchasing power—Lawyers who are skilled in discovering the weak points in any argument—Tradesmen who know how to buy for profit—Farmers who, as a class, are the most careful purchasers of automobiles—Business Men in the great populous centers, who had every opportunity to draw comparisons and weigh the merits of rival cars—Doctors who demand the kind of car that is always ready—at a moment’s notice—to go anywhere, over any kind of a road—every trade and profession—millionaires and men who have lived upon modest incomes are all represented in the great army of E-M-F “30” owners. But There Is One Reason Why you should buy an E-M-F “30” that is greater and more convincing than any one of those 20,000 reasons that made men choose an E-M-F “30” rather than any other car at any other price. And this, what we call “the unanswerable reason” has been getting stronger. prices without in any way interfering with the nutritive value or palatability of the ration. Public Health—This division is concerned essentially with the fundamental principles involved in the protection of the public health under rural conditions. The health of the individual and that of the community is of paramount importance. The climate of California is naturally conducive to the preservation and stimulation of health with proper precautions of simple character. Proper sanitation of the home and farm will be dealt with, involving the control of such preventable diseases as malaria, typhoid fever, tuberculosis, bubonic plague and hook-worm disease. This phase of the subject will be illustrated by models, photographs and charts. A collection of mounted animal parasites and disease carriers will be included concerning the control of the mosquito, the housefly, fleas, lice, hook-worm and tapeworms of humans, and the commoner parasites of horses, swine, sheep, cattle and poultry, e.g. g. the hornfly, Texas-fever-tick, lice, scab, mites, liver-fluke, etc. Home Economics.—Recognizing the fact that the work of the women of the farms is continued throughout the year and that this work can be rendered easier by means of labor-saving devices, the exhibit in this division is planned to be suggestive of means to lighten the labor of housework, and especial attention is called to various modern kitchen implements and their value as labor-reducers pointed out. University Farm School—The farm comprises 780 acres of land and is located at Davis, thirteen miles west of Sacramento. The farm school offers instruction in all lines of agriculture to young men who have completed the usual grammar school course in the public schools. Those who are fifteen or more years of age may be admitted to the regular work, covering a period of three years of about eight months each. Those who are at least eighteen years of age may be admitted for special work to pursue such studies as are available in the curriculum and for which they are prepared. The subjects taught are horticulture, viticulture, irrigation, farm crops, soils, farm accounts, dairy industry, animal industry, poultry husbandry, carpentry blacksmith, botany, chemistry, physics, English history, mathematics, surveying. List of instructors for special agricultural and horticultural demonstration train are: MERGER OF GAS COMPANIES Local Plant Taken Over by Southern Counties Company The Southern Counties Gas company of California, according to announcement made by officers of the company, has arranged to take over the Covina valley gas company, serving Covina, Glendora, Azusa, and the Piedmont gas company serving Monrovia, Sierra Madre, Arcadia, Duarte, and El Monte, the Orange county gas company serving Orange, Anaheim and Fullerton, and has acquired the gas plants of the Southern California Edison company serving Santa Ana and Whittier.

POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS Less than two months after forty-eight postal savings banks had been established, on February 28th to be exact, 3923 accounts had been opened and a total of $133,869 had been deposited. This figures up an average of $36.54 per depositor. In a statement issued this week by the postoffice department it is pointed out that if the postal savings system proves as popular after it has been established in all money order postoffices, the total amount on deposit after one year's operation will be about $200,000,000.

And getting stron- ing everything before it; we call this invincible “reason” by a simple name everybody knows. Satisfaction That’s it. Each and every man who owns an F-M-F “30” is satisfied. They are all subscribers, as it were, to the enthusiasm and interest about that proved, enduring quality and record-breaking price, which have made the E-M-F “30” the most talked-of automobile in America, perhaps in the world, because, and we say this without fear of contradiction, there is no car made upon which so many men absolutely agree. These 20,000 satisfied owners will tell you one story, simple and convincing, that they own a car they are proud to drive, to boost to endorse a car that not only backed their judgment, but above all taught them the lesson—that it isn’t necessary to decorate a check book with a lot of fancy figures and rob a bank balance to buy an automobile whose quality is in the chassis, where it belongs. An Investment of $1,000 In an E-M-F “30” will be the wisest expenditure you ever made, whether you own an automobile or not. The most you can get for your money would be 6 to 8 per cent interest. But here is the car at the price any man can afford. And to own a car is the ambition of every man. The automobile is a tremendous factor in our every day life. Aside from its utility there is the pleasure it freely gives, the sense of freedom it imparts. It brings the country to the city, and makes every dwelling place a country home. At a moment’s notice it is ready to whirl you and your family upon the sunlit, open road into the world of green fields—the country's life-giving out of doors. It means health to the wife and children, and binds the family in closer ties. It is a tonic, nerve builder, it trebles the value of time; an Automobile is given with the purchase of every E-M-F "30" Five ring Car. Detachable Demi-Tonneau Roadster.
