ANAHEIM SUGAR IN THE TARIFF DEBATE SENATOR WORKS USES STATISTICS FURNISHED BY THE LOCAL MILLS ADDRESSES UPPER HOUSE IN MASTERLY SPEECH AGAINST REDUCTION OF DUTIES The speech delivered by Hon. John D. Works before the United States Senate on July 24 and 25 in defense of California's products which are threatened by the pending tariff bill is being circulated in pamphlet form. It is a lengthy document, filling 140 pages, considerable of the space being devoted to tables. The Senator reviews the citrus, sugar and walnut industries of Southern California and points out in unimpeachable terms the disaster that would follow the enactment of the Underwood bill in its present form. Referring to the proposed reduction of the duty on sugar he said he had a very clear statement of conditions from the Anaheim Sugar Company, showing particularly the advantages of the industry to the people of the State of California, which read as follows: Believing, as we do, that you will oppose any change in the sugar tariff which you can be convinced is against the interests of your state, we take the liberty of giving you a few figures, the correctness of which can be easily verified by an examination of our books: 35,800 bearing and 22,600 non-bearing trees, and its acreage is 1,432 bearing and 904 non-bearing. The total acreage planted is 35,460. CITRUS GROWERS SHOULD FUMIGATE Many of the leading citrus experts throughout the southern part of the state, such as Mr. McGill, manager of the McNally ranch; C. C. Teague of the Limoneira company; W. H. Jameson of Corona and others, agree that fumigation is an absolute necessity, but that to get the best results a citrus fruit grower should see that the right chemicals are used. Pure sodium cyanide 129 per cent has been proven to be the least expensive and to give the best results. Every citrus grower should read the article on page 7 of this issue. The information given therein is of particular value. ORANGE COUNTY'S BIG BEAN CROP Twenty-One Thousand Acres Being Harvested on Irvine Ranch The harvesting of the biggest bean patch in the world began this week when ranchers on the San Joaquin ranch, owned by the Irvine Company, commenced cutting bushes. After drying for two weeks or more, the vines will be ready for the threshers. On the ranch are 17,000 acres of lima beans and 4,000 acres of black-eyes. The black-eyes mature two and three weeks earlier than the limas, and have already been cut. Threshers will begin on the black-eyes next week. The crop of beans, which is worth over $1,000,000 annually in Orange county, is below normal this year, owing to the O. V. KNOWLTON ELECTED COMMISSIONER Head of Malvern Hill Southern California But little opposition to tion of First Vice-Commissioner Knowlton of Fullerton to er of the Southern Calans' association at the held at their encampment Beach Wednesday, self, the friends of A Shafer of Los Angeles, w candidate, evidently feel Knowlton's election was conclusion. The women diary societies took cons est in the contest, thro fluence chiefly to Knowlton choice was unanimous. The new commander is of age, having enlisted Army during the Civil mere boy. He was in a n tiles and was several time action. He is an orange a ranch near Fullerton, lived many years. He has for several ye mander of Malvern Hill always taken an active Army affairs. FOREST NOTICE Twenty-two states, in all, now employ state foresters. A 115-foot lookout tower greaves national forest, constructed by forest offi entially of logs and with hoisting machinery other and tackle blocks. Forest officers on the N al forest are using a c drill in road work on the is considerable rock we Believing, as we do, that you will oppose any change in the sugar tariff which you can be convinced is against the interests of your state, we take the liberty of giving you a few figures, the correctness of which can be easily verified by an examination of our books: We paid the farmers last year per ton of beets testing 20 per cent sugar, $6.75; our average freight rate per ton of beets to the factory was .508; expense of field men—making contracts and instructing farmers in growing beets—per ton of beets, .121; expense of loading beets in cars at dumps per ton, .102; making a total cost per ton f.o.b. factory of $7.481. It is generally figured that a 75 per cent extraction of the sugar is good work, which would mean 300 pounds of sugar out of the 400 pounds in the beets, from which it will be seen that we pay for the beets delivered an equivalent of $2.49 per hundred pounds of extractable sugar, and, in addition to this, must bear the cost of extraction, of which labor at American rates is one of the principal items. In the way of comparison, raw sugar delivered in New York today from Cuba is selling at $3.45 per hundred pounds, and without the duty of $1.348 would be equal to $2.102 per hundred pounds. Therefore we start with raw material in the way of beets at $2.49 per hundred pounds of sugar, while the refiners in the East start with raw cane sugar at $2.102 per hundred pounds, and the factory cost of producing refined sugar from beets is at least double the cost of refining raw cane sugar. This should prove that a free-sugar bill at any time would destroy the beet-sugar industry and give the cane refiners absolute command of the production of this commodity and the regulation of prices. In the interest of the farmer, laborer, and others in California engaged in this industry outside of the sugar factories, we wish to say that during the year 1912 this state produced 3,173,630 bags of beet sugar, and there was disbursed for beets, fuel oil, labor, etc., approximately $12,000,000, while the production of the same number of bags of refined sugar by refining raw cane sugar would mean in comparison a distribution of not much over one-sixth of this amount. Our auditor's cost sheet for the year 1912, copy of which we will be glad to On the ranch are 17,000 acres of lima beans and 4,000 acres of black-eyes. The black-eyes mature two and three weeks earlier than the limas, and have already been cut. Threshers will begin on the black-eyes next week. The crop of beans, which is worth over $1,000-000 annually in Orange county, is below normal this year, owing to the light rainfall of the spring months. Considering the amount of rainfall this year, however, the pods are well filled. The weather has been uniformly good for growing, and the crop is all that was expected when the limas were planted last May. At the present time the prices quoted for lima beans is 4.80 cents per pound, which is a drop from 5 cents, quoted two weeks ago. Black-eyes are quoted at 3.25 cents per pound. The average yield on the San Joaquin is ten sacks to the acre. That includes lands where the yield is very light. In the lowlands of the county the yield runs in places as high as forty sacks to the acre. That is where there is plenty of water at hand. In this county lima beans were first grown on the San Joaquin ranch under protest by the ranchers, who were used only to grain growing. The crop long since ceased to be an experiment, and ranchers who were slow to begin bean growing could not now be persuaded to go back to the less profitable growing of grain. The San Joaquin bean fields are known as the biggest in the world, for on no other single holding is an acreage its equal set to beans. PROGRESSIVE HAWAII Islands Lead the United States in Agricultural Development In an article on "The Agricultural Revolution" published July 26th, the authors assert that Hawaii leads all the rest of the United States in agricultural progress and in the efficiency with which lands are tilled and improved. They point out that an average of $20 an acre is expended annually for fertilizers. Referring to the Hawaiian sugar industry the article says: "The Sugar Planters' Association maintains an experiment station of its own at a cost of $75,000 a year. The Territory has a Commissioner of Agriculture and Forestry with a staff of 15, and spends approximately $50,000 a ranch, owned by the Irvine Company, commenced cutting bushes. After drying for two weeks or more, the vines will be ready for the threshers. On the ranch are 17,000 acres of lima beans and 4,000 acres of black-eyes. The black-eyes mature two and three weeks earlier than the limas, and have already been cut. Threshers will begin on the black-eyes next week.

SANTA FE RAILWAY TO DOUBLE Estimates Made on Cost Fullerton to Los Angeles 23 miles. It is said th about $20,000 per mile. Imported that company th line double tracked San Diego in time to ha fair business. Counting Diego, Riverside and ov there are now over 20 pa daily between Fullerton geles-and many othe other between Fullerton It is said this improve greatly to the importance as a railroad junction p The Chamber Of Conhind a proposition to bet between Fullerton and some talk of voting box work, two miles north limits, if the outsiders thof the amount from thhe city to Brea this industry outside of the sugar factories, we wish to say that during the year 1912 this state produced 3,173,630 bags of beet sugar, and there was disbursed for beets, fuel oil, labor, etc., approximately $12,000,000, while the production of the same number of bags of refined sugar by refining raw cane sugar would mean in comparison a distribution of not much over one-sixth of this amount. Our auditor's cost sheet for the year 1912, copy of which we will be glad to file with you, shows that after crediting the by-products consisting of dried beet pulp and molasses our sugar cost us at the factory $3.88 net per 100 pounds. This cost would be increased provided we are not able to dispose of the molasses at the inventory price of $10 per ton. Referring to the walnut industry the Senator said: Mr. President, this bill does not spare the walnut industry in my state. It reduces the tariff on walnuts not shelled from 3 to 2 cents a pound and on shelled walnuts from 5 to 4 cents. This is simply a part of the general scheme to reduce tariff rates all along the line without regard, as I think, to the justice of it in the specific case or the harm that is bound to be done the particular industry affected, as compared to the benefits to accrue as a result to the general public. Walnut growing in California is confined mainly to the four counties of Los Angeles, Orange, Santa Barbara, and Ventura, all in the southern part of the state. Orange county reports 160,450 bearing trees and 92,725 non-bearing trees; acreage, 6,412 bearing and 3,709 non-bearing. Ventura county reports 168,416 bearing trees and 14,934 non-bearing trees; acreage, 6,736 bearing and 597 non-bearing. Santa Barbara reports "The Sugar Planters' Association maintains an experiment station of its own at a cost of $75,000 a year. The Territory has a Commissioner of Agriculture and Forestry with a staff of 15, and spends approximately $50,000 a year. And the Bureau of Plant Industry has a large experiment station at Honolulu under the management of E. V. Wilcox, one of the most competent men connected with the Department of Agriculture. "For the present time at least Hawaii is the last word in modern agriculture, and what Hawaii is doing now will be done in nearly all, if not all, the states in a comparatively short time." Porto Rico is another of our recently acquired island possessions, the prosperity of which this government stands responsible. There are more than a million people in the island. The greater part of them are dependent upon the cultivation, the grinding and the marketing of cane sugar. There is a tobacco industry, there is some business in coffee and in tropical fruits, there is a little lumbering, with some scant mining interest. But directly and indirectly, pretty nearly all the million human beings and more in Porto Rico get their living out of sugar. And it may well be that when we do have sugar on the free list, and, if the worst that is expected happens, we do see ruin overwhelming Porto Rico, then we shall have to cut that island adrift to sink or swim as best it can by its own efforts." O. V. KNOWLTON ELECTED COMMANDER Head of Malvern Hill Post to Lead Southern California Veterans But little opposition to the promotion of First Vice-Commander O. V. Knowlton of Fullerton to be commander of the Southern California Veterans' association at the annual election held at their encampment at Huntington Beach Wednesday, manifested itself, the friends of Adjutant A. C. Shafer of Los Angeles, who had been a candidate, evidently feeling that Mr. Knowlton's election was a foregone conclusion. The women of the auxiliary societies took considerable interest in the contest, throwing their influence chiefly to Knowlton and the choice was unanimous. The new commander is only 65 years of age, having enlisted in the Union Army during the Civil War when a mere boy. He was in a number of battles and was several times wounded in action. He is an orange grower, with a ranch near Fullerton, where he has lived many years. He has for several years been commander of Malvern Hill Post, and has always taken an active part in Grand Army affairs. FOREST NOTES Twenty-two states, including Hawaii, now employ state foresters. A 115-foot lookout tower on the Sitgreaves national forest, Arizona, just constructed by forest officers, was built entirely of logs and without the use of hoisting machinery other than ropes and tackle blocks. Forest officers on the Payette national forest are using a compressed air drill in road work on the forest. There is considerable rock work to do and was out of debt, and had about $20,000 in cash in the bank. A man named Clarke and others formed the National Home & Town Builders in Los Angeles. Clarke made a proposition to take over the property and cash of the Orange county company, issuing in return stock in the National Home & Town Builders. The Orange county company held a meeting at Santa Ana and after listening to a speech by Clarke in which he pictured a bright outlook and big profits in his company, it was decided almost unanimously to accept Clarke's proposition. About all the stockholders have left today are their certificates of stock and lawsuits that are pending. After Olmstead quit the old company as its head A. S. Bradford was elected president and he served in that capacity as long as the National Home & Town Builders was in business. DON'T LIKE LATEST STYLES Judge Oster Scores the Present Mode of Dress Popular Among Females Judge Oster, of San Bernardino, while sitting in Los Angeles, stirred up the populace with scathing remarks about the present mode of dress of women and girls. Judge Oster made his remarks from the bench, while senencing to San Quentin a man of 50 years accused of a statutory offense against a young woman. "There can be no palliation of your crime," he told the defendant, "but it is apparent to me after a study of the conditions that the outrageous lack of modesty on the part of thousands of women and girls of tender years contributes in no small degree to such offenses." "It would seem that parents of girls of the school age take pride in encouraging them to emulate the disgraceful modes of dress that the average modiste is able to sell by merely FOREST NOTES Twenty-two states, including Hawaii, now employ state foresters.

Forest officers on the Payette national forest are using a compressed air drill in road work on the forest. There is considerable rock work to do and the drill saves time and money in cutting grades on mountain roads. In an experimental test track near Janesville, Wis., an inspection just made showed that hemlock and tamarack ties put in the track without preservative treatment were decayed after 5½ years’ service. Those which had been treated were practically as good as when first laid. Light burning of underbrush to remove forest litter had been practiced in India, with the idea that it improves conditions for teak growing. Now after long investigations forest officials there say that the fires are harmful, that full fire protection must be extended everywhere, and that to be really effective this protection must be continuous. SANTA FE RAILROAD TO DOUBLE TRACK Estimates Made on Cost of Work From Fullerton to Los Angeles The engineering officers of the Santa Fe are making estimates on the cost of double tracking the road between Fullerton and Los Angeles, a distance of 23 miles. It is said the cost will be about $20,000 per mile. It is also reported that the company hopes to have the line double tracked all the way to San Diego in time to handle the 1915 fair business. Counting the local, San Diego, Riverside and overland trains, there are now over 20 passenger trains daily between Fullerton and Los Angeles and many of them pass one another between Fullerton and that city. It is said this improvement will add greatly to the importance of Fullerton as a railroad junction point. The Chamber of Commerce is behind a proposition to pave the road between Fullerton and Brea, a distance of about five miles. There is some talk of voting bonds to do this work, two miles north to the city limits, if the outsiders can take care of the amount from the north line of the city to Brea. "There can be no palliation of your crime," he told the defendant, "but it is apparent to me after a study of the conditions that the outrageous lack of modesty on the part of thousands of women and girls of tender years contributes in no small degree to such offenses. "It would seem that parents of girls of the school age take pride in encouraging them to emulate the disgraceful modes of dress that the average modiste is able to sell by merely proclaiming them the height of fashion. "Such a practice on the part of parents, and the women who parade themselves in the garb of the nature of the slit skirt, harem trousers, the bath towel suit, and a half dozen other costumes now proclaimed the rage, to be emulated by the average school girl, is a crime of itself." It was a long time ago and in a far-off land that an inspired writer spoke of making the desert blossom as the rose. This has come to pass in Imperial county in the southeastern corner of California along the Colorado river, a mixture of wilderness and desert ten years ago, and now producing immense crops. The cotton crop of this season will run to 18,000 bales, the cantaloupe crop already harvested amounts to 3,508 carloads, and the watermelons to 461 carloads. Already there have been shipped of grapes 112 carloads. Railway Time Table SANTA FE—GOING NORTH Leave Anaheim Ar.

STOCKHOLDERS SUED FOR COMPANY’S DEBTS Claim For Wages Against National Home and Town Builders The National Home & Town Builders which company recently closed its offices and quit business, has been sued in a Los Angeles court by J.

Over two hundred stockholders are made defendants, each for his individual proportion of the indebtedness. The company did an extensive business throughout Orange county and among the defendants is a long list of Anaheim citizens. Copies of the summons are being served on stockholders all over Orange county.
