The purpose of these annual assemblies as planned by Dr. H. J. Webber, director of the Citrus Experiment Station, is to bring the citrus growers and other horticulturists of Southern California more closely in touch with the work that is being done in the southern part of the state by the agents of the United States Department of Agriculture and of the College of Agriculture of the University of California. These gatherings will also offer opportunities for the growers, after learning just what work is being done, to offer suggestions and furnish information which will be helpful to the investigators. There are many agricultural problems in Southern California that need to be solved and their solution will require the co-operation of growers and investigators. These annual assemblies will give everybody a clearer idea of the work which is now being done and of the questions that need attention. The day will also be interesting as a sort of annual picnic day as most people will bring a basket lunch and spend the day at the experiment station. The meeting at Riverside on Saturday, November 15th, will include addresses relating to fertilizers, bud selection, orchard diseases, insect pests and methods of fumigation, investigations of California soils, lessons from the 1913 freeze, and other topics of interest. Dean Thomas F. Hunt, director of the College of Agriculture, will preside at the morning session and G. Harold Powell, director of the California Fruit Growers' Exchange, in the afternoon. The speaking will begin at 10 o'clock in the morning and at 2 o'clock in the afternoon. Other speakers will be H. J. Webber, director of the Citrus Experiment Station, L. J. Briggs, biophysicist, U. S. Depart- The time before and after the speaking will be devoted to an inspection of the experiments under way at the station. Among these is a fertilizer experiment with citrus fruits that has been running for seven years; a four-year experiment on cover crops; and an experiment on different root-stocks for citrus trees. There will be exhibitions showing the various types resulting from bud variation in citrus fruits, specimens of the nematode or root-worm, so commonly found on the roots of trees with "mottle leaf," and cultures of the organisms causing gummosis in lemon trees. Orchardists from all parts of Southern California will attend the gathering and an interesting and enjoyable day is assured. Everyone interested is invited to attend. Come early and bring your lunch. TURNED THEM LOOSE The triangle was before Justice Cox this morning when Timoteo Ledesma, Perfecta Moreno, and Jose Moreno, appeared in answer to a charge against the two former, alleging dissolute conduct. Four small children, including a babe in arms, accompanied the Moreno woman. It was shown by witnesses that Moreno was in the habit of getting drunk and driving his family into the street. Finally he completed the performance by ordering Ledesma, who also lived there, to decamp. He did not allege any misconduct between his wife and the other man prior to the final eviction. Then the woman told Ledesma that if he would take her away with the children, she would be happy with him, and Ledesma asked Moreno what he proposed to do about it. The latter said she might go where she pleased, he was through with her. So Ledesma and the Moreno woman and children went to Los Angeles and set up housekeeping. The arrest followed. Justice Cox tried to patch matters up by effecting a reconciliation, but it became evident that Moreno, the husband, merely wanted to get the children away from the mother and have the county take care of them. Judge Cox threw up his hands and ordered the whole crowd to take their problems elsewhere. Mr. and Mrs. George W. Hamler were visiting friends in Los Angeles Sunday.

BACKS old stand, Established over a Quarter of a Century Ago NATURAL GAS FOR SANTA ANA Birch Oil Company to Submit a Proposition to City A proposition to furnish natural gas to Santa Ana will soon be submitted by the Birch Oil Company. This statement was made by Trustee Grubb at the city trustee meeting Monday night. Trustees Grubb and Alderman, and City Clerk Burke made a trip to Fullerton and Brea with a view to investigating the feasibility of securing natural gas for that city. "We find that natural gas makes an excellent heat," said Grubb. "We found that 750 feet of natural gas makes as much heat as 1,000 feet of the wife of the superintendent with the help of one assistant. Friends have provided an abundance of reading matter in the shape of magazines and papers. Everything about the grounds is in an unfinished condition. There has been a good garden, now nearly gone, and a row of eucalyptus trees has been set out which will soon afford a grateful shade. When the commodious new hospital building, now well under way, is completed, the grounds can be laid out and the farm will ultimately be a beautiful place. It is a healthful location, having always a good breeze. The superintendent, E. A. Chaffee, and his good wife, seem to be doing all in their power, under somewhat unfavorable conditions, to make those under their charge comfortable and happy. Other friends are taking an interest in helping as they DISTRICT ORGANIZED FOR ROAD PAVING Bonds to the Amount of $30,000 Will Be Issued Soon The Anaheim-Fullerton division of Orange county, a district that intends to vote bonds for paving a street, was organized Wednesday when the Board of Supervisors accepted a petition asking that the district be formed. The district contains 395 acres of land, and, roughly speaking comprises a district lying a half mile on each side of the main road between Anaheim and Fullerton. The backers of the movement propose to issue $30,000 bonds in order to pave that portion of the street not paved as state A proposition to furnish natural gas to Santa Ana will soon be submitted by the Birch Oil Company. This statement was made by Trustee Grubb at the city trustee meeting Monday night. Trustees Grubb and Alderman, and City Clerk Burke made a trip to Fullerton and Brea with a view to investigating the feasibility of securing natural gas for that city. "We find that natural gas makes an excellent heat," said Grubb. "We found that 750 feet of natural gas makes as much heat as 1,000 feet of artificial gas. Fullerton had an option on Birch Oil Company gas at 20 cents, and would have had to put in a distributing system if the city had taken up the matter as a municipal system. However, the Southern Counties Gas Company and Fullerton reached an agreement whereby Fullerton will get natural gas distributed at 75 cents. When you consider the difference in heat value, the rate is approximately 50 cents. "We visited the oil fields, and saw a representative of the Birch Oil Company, who said his company would make Santa Ana an offer to deliver natural gas at Santa Ana. We are awaiting that offer. "I might say that the gas proposed to be distributed is that from which the gasoline has been extracted, and the gas that it is proposed to sell is extra good gas." INCREASED GAS IN CALIFORNIA Seventy-One Producing Wells in the State In 1812 The year 1912 was the greatest in the history of the natural-gas industry in California, the quantity of gas produced being estimated at nearly one-half more than that produced in 1911. This increase was not brought about by the discovery of any new fields, but by an increased production from the districts already reported, particularly the Midway field, which came into prominence as a gas producer in 1910 and 1911. The total production of natural gas in California in 1912, as estimated by E. W. Parker, of the United States Geological Survey, was 9,354,428,000 cubic feet, valued at $1,747,379, compared with 6,389,820,000 cubic feet, valued at $800,714, in 1911. The larger portion of the natural gas produced in California is consumed in the industries, the estimated quantity in 1912 being 8,379,632,000 cubic feet. FOREST NOTES To secure a merit badge in forestry, boy scouts are required, among other things, to identify 25 kinds of trees. One of the principal by-products of the national forests of Japan is furnished by mushrooms, which have yielded in one year a revenue of a million dollars. Articles of clothing from wood fiber are being made in Europe. The material for a suit costs about 50 cents. Clothing made of this material, however, can not be washed. One of the largest and most valuable timber trees of the country is the tulip tree, known to lumbermen as yellow poplar. It is related to the magnolias, but is the only tree of its kind in the world. The largest tree in the United States is said to be the "Mother of the Forest," a giant redwood in the Calaveras big tree grove in California. It is supposed to contain 140,619 board feet of lumber. There are, however, many claimants for the honor of being the "largest tree" and the "oldest tree," and these claims, according to foresters, can not always be verified. FULLERTON BRIEFFS N. B. Norswing has sent out what is believed to be the first wagon-load shipment of walnuts that has ever been forwarded to Eastern points by parcel post. Recently he sent out postal cards offering to fill orders by parcel post or by express in tenpound boxes. Up to the present time nearly one hundred orders have been received. Fred Hollinger ordered about $3,000 worth of new machinery Saturday for the Fullerton laundry. The laundry will cost, fully equipped, about $4,000. A stock company will be formed, but practically all of the stock needed has been subscribed. Mr. Hollinger will take 50 per cent or more of the stock. Wednesday A. A. Mills and others representing the division, petitioned the supervisors for an appropriation of $10,000 from the general road fund and for $200 from each of two road districts, Anaheim and Fullerton, to be used in carrying out the division's plans. The supervisors declare that however much they would like to help out the good work, the general road fund will be called upon to meet promises already made by the board, so that the appropriation will be an impossibility for at least three years. The petition for the appropriation was denied. An election will have to be held upon the bonds. There are 118 residents in the division. The assessed valuation is about $222,000. A delegation of Orange growers from various sections of the county appeared before the board of supervisors at 2 P.M., Wednesday for the purpose of discussing plans for securing more general and more effective steps against scale pests in the orchards of the county. The matter was taken up some time ago and committees were appointed from each of the associations in the county to attend the meeting today, but only four associations were represented this afternoon. Some of the leading growers of the county were present, however. As the law now stands the county horticultural commissioner has the power to order an orchard either fumigated or sprayed, but he has no authority over the fumigators, and if the work is poorly done or the orchard injured the grower has no recourse. It was the idea of the growers present that an ordinance should be passed requiring owners of fumigating outfits to be licensed, and placing them directly under the authority of the commissioner. Talks along this line were made by John McFadden of the Tustin Hills Association Volney Tubbs Co. The total production of natural gas in California in 1912, as estimated by E. W. Parker, of the United States Geological Survey, was 9,354,428,000 cubic feet, valued at $1,747,379, compared with 6,389,820,000 cubic feet, valued at $800,714, in 1911. The larger portion of the natural gas produced in California is consumed in the industries, the estimated quantity in 1912 being 8,379,632,000 cubic feet. Only 974,796,000 cubic feet was consumed for domestic purposes, but these figures are almost double those for 1911, the number of domestic consumers having increased from 10,598 in 1911 to 18,171 in 1912. A considerable quantity of the gas produced from the oil wells of California goes to waste annually, there being no means of disposing of it. Much of this gas is rich in gasoline, and during 1912 several plants for the extraction of this gasoline were erected and successfully operated. There were 71 producing gas wells in California at the close of 1912, six wells having been completed during the year. INMATES OF COUNTY FARM The young people of the Presbyterian Christian Endeavor Society went on Sunday afternoon to the County Farm and Hospital on West Chapman avenue to conduct a religious service there. As the weather was too chilly to hold the service in the open air, the dining room was used and a very pleasant meeting was held with the little group of inmates. There are now at the farm fifteen men and one woman. Several of these are confined to their beds or their rooms. All are housed in neat cottages or in tent houses and seem to be well cared for and contented as a rule. All who are able, take their meals in the common dining room.

Inasmuch as my name appeared in the printed list of the members of the Anaheim Taxpayers' League, published in Orange County Plain Dealer and Anaheim Gazette, November 5, 1913, I hereby take this opportunity of stating that I am not now, and have never been a member of that organization, and have never signed an application for membership therein, nor any paper whatever in connection with such organization. (Signed) CLAUDE R. PRINCE. horticultural commissioner has the power to order an orchard either fumigated or sprayed, but he has no authority over the fumigators, and if the work is poorly done or the orchard injured the grower has no recourse. It was the idea of the growers present that an ordinance should be passed requiring owners of fumigating outfits to be licensed, and placing them directly under the authority of the commissioner. Talks along this line were made by John McFadden of the Tustin Hills Association, Volney Tubbs, Geo. Dierken and others. Horticultural Commissioner Bishop explained that as matters now stand he has the power to order an orchard cleaned, but is powerless to supervise the work. He called attention to the fact that every county in Southern California except Orange has an ordinance licensing the fumigators. After hearing the growers the board referred the matter to the district attorney and the horticultural commissioner with instructions to draw an ordinance for the licensing of fumigators. WORLD'S ORANGE PRODUCTION That the orange is one of the most popular of fruits is demonstrated by its wide distribution and consumption. Our consular reports note its production in over 30 different and widely scattered countries throughout the New World and the Old World, although its commercial importance is limited to but a small number of these. The following list of orange growing countries largely gathered from these consular reports, while not by any means complete, covers those countries of the greatest commercial importance: Europe—Spain, Italy, France, Portugal, Cyprus, Crete, Southern Russia.

The increase in production and consumption in the past ten years has been very great, and the orange is growing in popularity and esteem the world over. The total orange exports of the world are now over 40,000,000 boxes (California capacity), or over 100,000 TWO CARPENTERS HURT IN COLLISION Run Into Automobile at Santa Ana With Serious Results W. D. English and H. L. Wilkins, carpenters of Anaheim, had a close call Friday when English’s motorcycle, ridden by them, went head-on into August Stohlman’s automobile on the Orange Plaza circle. That both men were not killed is a marvel. English was thrown heavily to the pavement, and was picked up unconscious and bleeding from a scalp wound. While he suffered some concussion of the brain, it is believed that his injuries are not serious. Wilkins fell on his head and received some severe cuts. The two men have been employed on the new Lutheran church at Orange. LET CONTRACT At the next meeting of the Board of Supervisors a contract will be let for building nine miles of good roads in the Placentia section. One of the roads will run from Anaheim to Olinda. Three bids have been received. They are from Withers & Crites, Los Angeles, $37,562.84; George S. Benson & Sons, Los Angeles, $42,271.10; Roger Brothers, Los Angeles, $44,728.55. Withers & Crites, the low bidder, is now engaged in building a section of county paved highway between Orange and Olive.
