BEAN GROWING CONTESTS FOR BOYS AND GIRLS COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE HAS NOVEL METHOD FOR ENGAGING THEIR ATTENTION CONTESTANTS MUST GROW AT LEAST TWENTY-FIVE HILLS OF LIMA BEANS California is famous for the production of dried beans, the farm value of the crop in an average season amounting to nearly $10,000,000. The very favorable climatic conditions enjoyed by a narrow strip of the Southern California coast, ranging from San Luis Obispo to San Diego county and embracing Orange county, gives this state the reputation of being the greatest Lima bean growing country in the world. In the interior of these coast counties as well as up and down the great Sacramento and San Joaquin valleys, Limas cannot be grown commercially, but other varieties of beans thrive and are produced on an extensive scale over one million sacks being harvested in some years. It behooves every loyal Californian, therefore, to have an intelligent understanding and appreciation of the importance of this great food producing plant. It is befitting, also, that every boy and girl studying agriculture should take an active interest in bean production and improvement. It is the purpose of a circular issued by the College of Agriculture at Berkeley and just received at this office, to suggest a method for the systematic study of bean culture and to give a few brief directions for growing the crop. Most boys and girls, like grown-ups, can do better work when they are matching their knowledge or skill talent, ranging in value from first to fifth prize, will be given in each contest to the boys or girls who have grown, selected and exhibited the heaviest yielding bean vine. The prizes will be procured and awarded by the committee in charge of the respective contests. When two or more varieties are entered in a county contest there should be as many classes as varieties and approximate prizes should be offered in each. Every contestant, whether winning a prize or not, who faithfully complies with all of the contest regulations, will receive, as special recognition of his or her praiseworthy work, a Certificate of Merit, signed by the Dean, College of Agriculture, University of California. In the city or county contest, a special prize in the form of a cup, medal or banner, will be awarded that school district, or community whose representatives make the most favorable showing. 1. Boys or girls, 18 years of age or younger, who meet all the requirements of the contest, may qualify and become eligible for the awards. 2. Each contestant shall actually grow at least 25 hills of Lima beans (the pole type), or one hundred hills of the white, pink, black-eye, or other varieties. Every variety grown should be handled under field culture conditions so far as possible. (For instance the running type of Lima will not be poled.) 3. Besides performing all the cultural operations incident to bean growing (save those tasks beyond the strength of boys and girls) contestants shall select and exhibit the one bean vine out of all those grown on their respective plots, which in their judgment, has produced the largest number of perfect beans. 4. A crop record or note book, describing all of the work done, from the preparation of the seed-bed to the harvesting of the crop, shall be prepared by each contestant, countersigned by the parent or teacher and filed as part of the exhibit. 5. Each contestant shall be allowed It is befitting, also, that every boy and girl studying agriculture should take an active interest in bean production and improvement. It is the purpose of a circular issued by the College of Agriculture at Berkeley and just received at this office, to suggest a method for the systematic study of bean culture and to give a few brief directions for growing the crop. Most boys and girls, like grown-ups, can do better work when they are matching their knowledge or skill against that of others. To enter a contest at once places a contentant on his mettle and, as in athletic events, he strives his utmost to win just for the fun of winning. The fact that prizes are offered will be only an additional incentive, tending to make the contest more interesting and profitable. Because of the natural love of competition that exists among boys and girls, those who attend school in bean growing districts are encouraged to engage in a friendly contest to see who can grow the most productive bean vine. This competitive work is of such a nature that those living in the city are on an equal footing with those attending a country school. The students taking part in these bean growing contests will have the opportunity to win prizes for themselves and bring honor to their schools and communities. What is more important, through their study and practice of the best cultural and plant improvement methods necessary to grow prize-winning beans, they will gain valuable information concerning the science of soils and plant growth that can be applied to other crops as well. Co-operation among men and women in every pursuit and occupation of life is the most encouraging movement of recent times and it is destined to be the most important factor in the development of a better and more efficient social and industrial life. Organized effort focuses the attention upon the task at hand, stimulates a desire for knowledge and incubates the study habit. Club work among boys and girls is proving just as effective as the organized efforts of adults in promoting a wider and better knowledge of the art and science of agriculture. The school affords an ideal place for all club and contest work to center and it is recommended that whenever five or more students in a school desire to enter a bean growing contest they organize a club with that end in view. It will not be necessary, however, for anyone to join a club in order to qualify in a contest. The formation of clubs is advised because numbers lend 4. A crop record or note book, describing all of the work done, from the preparation of the seed-bed to the harvesting of the crop, shall be prepared by each contestant, countersigned by the parent or teacher and filed as part of the exhibit. 5. Each contestant shall be allowed but one exhibit or entry in a contest. 6. In each school or district contest, only that variety of bean shall be grown that experience has shown to be the best adapted to the soil and climatic conditions of that section. 7. In a county or general contest when two or more varieties are entered, all of the exhibits of a given variety shall be judged in a class by themselves. 8. All contest exhibits shall be judged by means of a score card. The same score card may be used for judging both the local and general exhibits, excepting that in the last named, only the shelled beans shall be exhibited. The record books of prize winning contestants in local contests should be supplemented with a memorandum by the judge of the local contests, stating the actual number of pods and beans found on the prize winning vines. 9. Before contestants shall receive the Certificate of Merit, they must mail their record sheets or note books, containing all the information specified in the Crop Record Plan, to the Dean, College of Agriculture, University of California, Berkeley. 10. The advisory committee in charge of each local club contest shall make all arrangements for the exhibition that will mark the close of the contest, and for procuring and awarding of prizes. After the exhibits have been scored, the beans on the prize winning vines, which are to be picked off and shelled by the judge or some other disinterested party, are to be placed in a suitable container, together with the contestant's record sheet, and, after being securely sealed, mailed to the city or county superintendent of schools in charge of the general contest. 11. All exhibits are to be the property of the contestants at the close of the exhibition unless the advisory committee rules otherwise. It is suggested that all of the beans produced by the vines placed upon exhibition be saved by the contestants in order to plant a special bean improvement plot another year. 12.

It will not be necessary, however, for anyone to join a club in order to qualify in a contest. The formation of clubs is advised because numbers lend enthusiasm and co-operation engenders success. The Bean Growing Contest will be in two divisions in order to give every boy and girl a better chance to win a prize. In the first division, the contest will be between the members of each school or community club and the prize winners in each local contest will again compete with the winners in the other club contests throughout the city or county. The general or county competitive exhibition, forming the second division of the contest, should be held in connection with the county or district agricultural fair whenever possible or a special school fair or exhibition may be organized for this purpose. The character and value of the awards to be given in each instance will be determined by the advisory committee in charge of the district or local clubs and by the city or county superintendents of schools, or a committee designated by them, in case of the general contest.

Biggs and family on Friday moved from this city, where they have made their home for a year and a half past, to Santa Ana, where they have purchased property and will probably make their future home. Mr. Biggs has large experience in sugar factory work, and has accepted a lucrative position in the factory at Santa Ana. Mr. and Mrs. N. H. Mitchell left on Friday for an extended tour of Europe. They will travel extensively on the continent and may prolong their tour to a trip around the world. They will be absent probably until the end of the year.

SCHOOL ELECTION HELD ON FRIDAY Chambers Succeeds Self on Grammar School Board—Sparks and Goodale Win in High School Fight Two hundred and seventy votes were polled in the election for trustee of the Anaheim school district held on Friday. Those in the race for the place were Wm. Chambers, present clerk of the board, and C.E. Chamberlain. Mr. Chamberlain had consented to have his name proposed by the solicitation of friends, but did not make a strenuous run for the job and was beaten by a vote of 220 to 50. Mr. Chambers has been a member of the school board for four years, having been appointed to fill out the unexpired term of W.H. Spake who was compelled by removal to relinquish his duties on the board, and was re-elected at the election the following year. He has been clerk of the board for the past three years, and it is due largely to his untiring efforts that the schools of Anaheim now rank as the best in the county. Before the beginning of this school year, all the buildings in the Anaheim school district were put in first-class shape, woodwork being painted and varnished, and everything about the premises repaired. In addition, another room was added to the Katella school house, to provide for increased attendance at that place. Mr. Chambers has always been a very efficient member of the board of trustees and his many friends here are extending congratulations upon his re-election. The total vote in the high school trustee election was 594 of this vote Members of the Chamber of Commerce are going to play ball with the boys of Buena Park grammar school at 2 P.M. Saturday.

George Wilcox was re-elected as school director for this district last Friday, although a lady candidate for this office gave him a very close race. Much interest was taken in the election and an unusually large vote was polled. If you want anything, get it through a Gazette classified.
