UNIVERSITY WILL RECORD FARM RESOURCES SOIL SURVEY TO BE UNDERTAKEN BY STATE COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE. GIVE HOMESEEKERS CHANCE TO HAVE FAIR, HONEST AND USEFUL INFORMATION Plans for a soil survey of all the agricultural lands in California are announced by Professor Charles F. Shaw in the first number of the "University of California Journal of Agriculture, a new monthly just established by the students of the college of agriculture. This summer the soils of the Sacramento valley will be surveyed, and next winter those of the San Joaquin valley. Before the Panama-Pacific Exposition opens, the university will publish soil maps and descriptions for practically the whole of the great interior valley. Within the next few years the university will publish detailed soil maps for every agricultural area in California. These "reconnaissance soil survey" maps will be on a scale of four miles to the inch. The soils series will be indicated, and accompanying reports will deal problems involved are how to find and counsel wisely prospective settlers who are competent to succeed, and how to aid such newcomers to avoid the untrustworthy and to select lands suitable for making successful homes. Among the requisites are: an accurate inventory of the resources of California, to protect homeseekers from settling on lands where it is not worth while trying to make a living; knowledge as to the type of people best suited to the development of California, as farmers and, thirdly, investigations as to new agricultural industries which ought to be established in California, and as to the people who can best develop such new industry. Director Hunt suggests, therefore, thorough investigation of agricultural and human conditions in regions similar to California, including, for example, Australia, Uruguay and the Mediterranean countries, and the "supplementing of restrictive immigration by selective immigration." Typical of the possibilities in new industries is cotton. Cotton has been grown commercially in California only five years yet this year's cotton crop will be worth $1,125,000, or five times last year's. The story of this important new agricultural industry is told in this May Journal of Agriculture by Walter E. Packard, in charge of the university's experiment station in the Imperial valley. In the reclaimed desert, below the level of the sea, was grown last year cotton which took the first prize over all short staple cotton grown in 1912 in IN AND ABOUT 6,615,805 Orange Trees in California has more lemon trees of bearing other states of the Union. The 1910 federal rerus fruit says that Cal 6,615,805 orange trees out of 9,737,927 in the 941,293 lemon trees out of the nation's 956,922 Arrested at Capistrano.

"How did the Bird Know that"— By making Our Store worth more to You we make it worth More to Us: The ramento valley will be surveyed, and next winter those of the San Joaquin valley. Before the Panama-Pacific Exposition opens, the university will publish soil maps and descriptions for practically the whole of the great interior valley. Within the next few years the university will publish detailed soil maps for every agricultural area in California. These "reconnaissance soil survey" maps will be on a scale of four miles to the inch. The soils series will be indicated, and accompanying reports will describe the soils, the natural conditions, the good and bad features, the crops grown and the results obtained by farmers, and the best treatment and use of the particular soil areas discussed. This survey will give homeseekers a chance to have fair, honest, and useful information regarding every farming section in Cafifornia. It will protect investors against misrepresentations. It will aid the farmer to plan wisely his planting, his crop rotations, and his treatment of the soil. Professor Shaw has recently completed after six years of work, just such a soil survey for the whole of Pennsylvania. His soil survey for California will carry on the great work in this field pursued for several decades past by Professor Eugene W. Hilgard, a pioneer among all soil investigators. Professor Shaw will have from three to six men continuously at work and the United States Bureau of Soils will have a like number at work in California. For each of the major soil groups, special studies must eventually be worked out to determine the crops most appropriate to each, and to decide for each the most appropriate ways of tillage, plant breeding and fertilization. The promotion of successful family life in California is the underlying purpose of all the university's agricultural work. Dean Hunt of agriculture in the same initial number of the Journal of Agriculture urges promotion of "selective immigration" that the vast lands of California may come to be farmed by men and women who will "make good." The grown commercially in California only five years yet this year's cotton crop will be worth $1,125,000, or five times last year's. The story of this important new agricultural industry is told in this May Journal of Agriculture by Walter E. Packard, in charge of the university's experiment station in the Imperial valley. In the reclaimed desert, below the level of the sea, was grown last year cotton which took the first prize over all short staple cotton grown in 1912 in the whole United States. The great problem facing the California cotton raiser, says Mr. Packard, is to select and establish the variety that will bring the greatest net returns. Other varieties should then be excluded from a particular locality, to protect against hybridization. Durango, a long staple upland cotton is said the be the favorite with inch and a quarter staple, and commands a premium of from 3 to 5 cents over the short-staple cotton on the market. The Cotton Growers Exchange is offering large cash prizes to the growing of clean fields of this one type. While the Egyptian cotton is by far the finest, it yields less well than Durango and is more expensive to pick. Experiments are, however, being made in the hope of getting a new variety or strain better than anything yet grown in the Imperial valley. That a normal crop of oranges is expected in Southern California for next year, despite this winter's frost, and that after fifteen to eighteen months the lemon trees will be bearing as well as ever, is stated in the Journal by A. R. Taylor, assistant Plant Pathologist at the university's Southern California laboratory and citrus experiment station. Carl Nichols gives a detailed account of the frost fighting on the Limoneria ranch, in Ventura county, where fires were kept up in the lemon orchard for twenty-seven nights, at an expense of between $90 and $100 an acre. However, the average loss of lemons was in consequence reduced to 15 per cent, as compared with five times that loss elsewhere, so the premium on lemons will amply compensate for the expenditure. A third paper on citrus matters is by A. V. Amet, who discusses lessons from the freeze, such as pruning methods, proof that sour stock was more resistant than sweet, development of by-products, the improved methods for testing for frozen fruit. An account is given also of the "summer traveling practice course" in citriculture, given this year for the first while in the Santa Ana one day last week on a ship jaunt, Mrs. Sara Jaffe incidentally shot in the left injury necessitating the death of middle toe of that James is a good shot and firearms. Her injury was accidental discharge of while she was preparing shot at a bird. Mrs. James en to the Santa Ana host the toe was amputated.

It seeks to bring to the knowledge of the community the work that is being done by the agricultural investigators of the university, and to aid in every way the development of agricultural education in common schools, high schools, and the university itself. As part of its aid to the rapidly developing movement for teaching agriculture in all the schools, the University of California is to have a number of courses in the next Summer Session, from June 23 to August 2 for the special training of high school and grammar school teachers of agriculture. Included will be courses on the elements of agriculture (for elementary school teachers), on plant propagation, and on home and school ground gardening, and courses for training teachers to give high school courses in school-farm work, dairying, animal industry and horticulture. Thus the university is advancing the good cause of developing direct practical training in all the schools. The trial of F. J. Catterlin Case Continued The trial of F. J.

ANAHEIM GAZETTE GOES BACK TO WASHINGTON. Sheriff Harry E. Stark of Washington started for that state on Thursday with Bert H. Marsh, who escaped from jail there after he had been sentenced to from two to five years in the penitentiary for bigamy. Marsh had a wife and three children at Garden Grove. He was arrested by Deputy Sheriff Turner of that town. Grove. Freight Loss and Damage. The movement started by the Santa Fe railway to reduce to the minimum the item of freight loss and damage is winning the earnest approval of shippers all over the system. Officials of the company here and elsewhere along the line have received hundreds of letters in the last few days commending the road for the campaign it has inaugurated and pledging their co-operation in the work. The Santa Fe also will have the hearty assistance of manufacturing concerns which make containers for eggs, butter, fruit, vegetables and products of that character, the damage in transit to which has been considerable. These concerns have expressed a desire to co-operate in planning for the construction of containers that will best meet the needs of the shipper and the railroad. A great deal of the work of bringing about the desired results will be done by the station agents and transportation inspectors, whose duty it is to watch the handling of freight in warehouses, on transfer wagons, in depots and on trains. The inspectors, 10 o'clock, the county spelling contest of the eight grades of the Triangle League will be held in the Santa Ana high school building, a silver cup offered by the Santa Ana chamber of commerce to be presented the winner. The spelling contest of the seventh grades will be held in the Commercial school, and a silver cup, offered by the W. C. T. U. of this city will be presented the winner. Admission to these events free. Tickets for the track meet will be 25 cents; children 15c. At last year's contest, the Anaheim schools won everything, bringing home the silver cup for winning the spelling match, and both school banners for athletics and spelling. A good representation will be sent over this year, and with the talent manifested by the pupils of the local school, ought to bring back a share of the honors from this contest. A. Fiedler, formerly proprietor of Fairyland theater, now of El Segundo, was in town on Monday, settling up business affairs. Mr. Fiedler has sold Fairyland to H. C. Bilger, who is now conducting that popular moving picture theater. Mr. Fiedler has been in enfeebled health for some time past, and will devote some time to rest and recuperation before going into business again. While in the Santa Ana bottoms one day last week on a marksman-ship jaunt, Mrs. Sara James was accidentally shot in the left foot, the injury necessitating the amputation of the middle toe of that foot. Mrs. James is a good shot and is used to firearms. Her injury was due to the accidental discharge of the weapon while she was preparing to take a shot at a bird. Mrs. James was taken to the Santa Ana hospital, where the toe was amputated. Kitty Meason Files Petition. A petition was filed in the Los Angeles supreme court last week in behalf of Kate Lieritz, formerly Kate Meason of Delhi, convicted in Orange county of a violation of the liquor laws. She is said to have sold liquor in Santa Ana and was sentenced to six months in the county jail. Irregularities in the formation of the "No License" Fifth supervisor's district where the violation is alleged to have taken place, is the ground upon which the petition for the release of the woman is based. Asks For Return of Deed Asserting that she gave a deed to lot 28, Anaheim Home tract, on misrepresentation, Clara M. Swan has brought suit against Frank Hart, asking the court to cancel the deed and declare the title to the property vested in the plaintiff. The complaint states that on April 8 Hart secured the deed, representing that $50 would be paid on a mortgage for $300. The plaintiff asserts that the representations were not true and that she got no compensation for the deed. May Be a Blind Pigger Under Sheriff Law, Deputy Dean and Constable Heard are satisfied that A. Battestea has been selling liquor at Delhi. Battestea has been using a good deal of it himself. Friday night Law and Dean went to the store on a report of a disturbance. They had no warrant. Battestea came out on the porch and drew a revolver. The officers refrained from attempting to take the man as a fight might result in the death of the man, which might put the officers in bad since they had no warant. Battestea was noisy again Saturday and the officers took him in. He tried to destroy bills for brandy and wine in 10-gallon quantities, but the officers took the bills from him. Catterlin Case Continued. The trial of F. J. Catterlin accused of obtaining money under false pretenses which was, to have begun on the superior court on Monday, has been postponed by consent of Fairland to H. C. Bilger, who is now conducting that popular moving picture theater. Mr. Fiedler has been in enfeebled health for some time past, and will devote some time to rest and recuperation before going into business again. All Kinds Of Pork. NATIONAL MARKET Walter F.
