POSSIBILITIES OF KAFFIR CORN IN STATE LIVE STOCK RAISING WILL BE IMPORTANT INDUSTRY IN NEAR FUTURE KAFFIR IS THE COMING FEED ACCORDING TO AN EXPERT AGRICULTURIST As present-day methods find profit in the "tailings" of the crude mining practice of yesterday, so the Californian is learning that his agriculture has thus far only skimmed the surface and real development is yet to come, says I. D. Graham in Pacific Rural Press. With nature's lavished endowments, this state is more nearly equipped for the fostering of every human endeavor than any other, and yet California has been exploited only for her mines, her fruits and her climate. She has enjoyed two epoch marking periods in her history, in the discovery of gold and in the discovery of fruits, and now her citizens are learning that there is more gold in her soil than ever came from her mines; that fruit growing alone is only picking up golden grains while the ore bed remains untouched, and that her future success depends upon live stock raising and the methods which belong with it. There can be no permanent system of profitable agriculture without live stock. Wheat will produce enormously on new lands, but without the methods and practices which belong with IN AND ABOUT COUNTY Getting Even Presumably some person whom Justice of the Peace Cox of Santa Ana at some time sent to jail or fined is getting even with him. Three weeks ago a 2-year-old palm tree in front of the justice's house was ruined by some miscreant. Monday night a hedge of spineless cactus three feet high and fifteen feet long was kicked down. Every plant was broken off at the ground. Cox has offered a reward for information as to the identity of his enemy. Valuable Orange Grove One of the finest Villa Park orchards has changed hands. The consideration was $2,500 an acre for young trees. The ranch was sold by G. W. Whitsell of Villa Park to P. V. Grout, the L. W. Hemphill Realty Company acting as agents. The ranch is situated along the foothills and consists of ten acres of 4-year-old trees, eight acres of which are Valencia oranges and two acres lemons. The trees yielded a crop of $2,500 this season and will be bearing much heavier by next year. The ten acres brought $25,000, making one of the best deals that has been reported for many months. Stanton Is Progressing The citizens of Stanton want a school house near their townsite, as at present they are a mile and a half from a school. A meeting was held last week to see if a union district, made up of Savanna, Magnolia and Los Alamitos districts, and build a good building at Stanton. The next best proposal was to move the Savanna school house to Stanton. What the rest of the people would think of the proposition was the problem, and a committee of five was appointed to Maintaining the Reputation The productiveness city is becoming better day, and it is admitted oure climate of ours, in much of this, and now reputation of good th Summers, at Tomato ed her husband with morning.

There can be no permanent system of profitable agriculture without live stock. Wheat will produce enormously on new lands, but without the methods and practices which belong with animal husbandry, it will fall away. Fruit will yield golden returns, but not always, and when the land begins to fail, it is vastly harder to restore its depleted fertility than it would have been to maintain or increase it had live stock been kept. Through the Panama-Pacific International Exposition, the farmers of this state and coast will have a greater opportunity to gather of the untouched resources of the earth than has ever come to any people at any time. The great live stock exhibition, which will be a very special and prominent feature of the Panama-Pacific International Exposition, will mark a third epoch in the history of this state's prosperity. The best in all breeds from all lands will be on display in the "view herds" which will remain during the entire exposition period as well as in the competition for premiums in the late fall months. Quality and not quantity is sought in this exposition and it is quality in live stock that the California breeder and farmer must have. The cheap steer which made money for his owner on cheap land, will not do on costly acres. The 150 pound cow and the poorly bred hog become parasites which no farmer can afford to keep. Better stock is needed almost everywhere, but especially in California where land prices are so high that intensive methods are necessary. The very common belief that corn is necessary to success with live stock and the fact that California is not ranked as a corn state, are perhaps the chief factors which have heretofore retarded progress in animal husbandry. Corn, however, is not necessary to complete success with live stock. There are the non-sacharine sorghums which supply the lack of corn. Kaffir, as an illustration, will yield more grain than corn. It will withstand drought very much better and its feeding value, as grain, is practically the same. Milo is of quicker growth and for some localities a better crop, though its crooked neck raises objections to it because it is more difficult to harvest. Kaffir is an excellent silage crop and school house near their townsite, as at present they are a mile and a half from a school. A meeting was held last week to see if a union district, made up of Savanna, Magnolia and Los Alamitos districts, and build a good building at Stanton. The next best proposal was to move the Savanna school house to Stanton. What the rest of the people would think of the proposition was the problem, and a committee of five was appointed to see what the people of the three districts will permit. It was declared that Stanton needs a cannery, and a committee was appointed to see what can be done to encourage the establishment of one. Factories All Closing Monday at noon the sugar beet season closed at Santa Ana when the grinders of the Southern California Sugar Company sliced the last sugar beet and the juices from it aresqueezed out and made into sugar. The Santa Ana Co-operative Sugar Company closed its season two weeks ago, the Holly Sugar Company at Huntington Beach a week ago, and Anaheim Sugar Company at Anaheim Sunday. The Los Alamitos Sugar Company at Los Alamitos, the pioneer factory of this section, is ending its campaign. Monday a train of six cars loaded with sugar beets passed through Santa Ana to the factory. They are the last to be received by rail. The Southern California Sugar Company plant has sliced about 67,500 tons of sugar beets this season. The sugar beet growers of the county received fully $2,500,000 for their crop this season. Three Months in Jail If Santiago Ambriz keeps up the pace he will spend nearly all the rest of his life in jail. On November 6 he finished a six months' sentence for shoplifting at Anaheim, and yesterday afternoon he and Ricardo Savala, a brother-in-law, entered the county jail by persuasion to remain for three months for stealing walnuts. The Annin brothers of Fullerton caught Savala and Ambriz picking up walnuts in the Annin orchard. One of the Mexicans had a sack three-fourths full. The other had no sack, but he had tied strings around his trouser legs at the ankle and was filling all the available space with walnuts. The trousers were large and the Mexican was thin, so there was plenty of space for walnuts. The two men were taken to jail at Fullerton, and with Under Sheriff Law as interpreter, Justice Inskeep went to the jail and held court. It was all over in a few minutes. The Annin brothers testified, and sentence of three months Justice Cox at Santa Claire charged with selling beer to Under Sheriff's office on the afternoon of Friday. The officers met the Santa Ana River beer from a supplier said he was taking to nish cheer for a fiestafield there that night.

There are the non-sacharine sorghums which supply the lack of corn. Kaffir, as an illustration, will yield more grain than corn. It will withstand drought very much better and its feeding value, as grain, is practically the same. Milo is of quicker growth and for some localities a better crop, though its crooked neck raises objections to it because it is more difficult to harvest. Kaffir is an excellent silage crop, and it is doubtful if there exists any country wherein the silo could be used to a greater or more economical advantage than California. Kaffir is a splendid hay crop when thickly seeded and cut young and, when grown either for grain or hay, it withstands drought better than almost any other farm crop. It does not "fire" or die when the drouth comes, but simply "stands still" until the rains or the cool dewey nights bring added moisture when it springs to rapid maturity. The farmers of California are awakening to the value of live stock on their farms, and this question of feed becomes doubly important as the production of beef, pork or milk becomes much simplified when a cheap grain, such as is supplied by Kaffir, is within easy reach. The great live stock show to be held as one of the most important features of the Panama-Pacific International Exposition has given immediate importance to live stock on the Pacific coast, and with this has naturally come the question of a grain crop suitable for developing and fitting animals. Such a crop is found in Kaffir, the use of which will extend the grain belt almost indefinitely in California. FOR RENT—One furnished bedroom and bath. 202 West Broadway. L. H. Bronson, on his place on the mesa just north of Huntington Beach, three months ago planted two acres of spineless cactus, confident that the conditions were right. His confidence, it is said, has been more than justified. Practically every plant has one or more new leaves, and they are from 8 to 12 inches long. Shortly after planting they were irrigated to give them a start, as they were planted in the driest part of the year, but the humidity that prevails at the seashore proved sufficient and growth has been rapid. The place is being watched with great curiosity by farmers, as here, if anywhere, the theories of Burbank, the plant wizard, are said to be getting their most favorable test. As the Huntington Beach table land is free from damaging frosts, the cactus should continue to grow vigorously throughout the winter months. Both the bean and beet returns from the farm country surrounding Huntington Beach are now in, and the total, it is stated, exceeds $1,500,000, all in cash. Celery shipments will begin soon and the totals are expected to exceed the records of last year when more than 1,700 carloads were shipped from the Huntington Beach loading stations alone.

Dr. J. P. Boyd was the Stork's assistant. They are all boys, and fine ones at that. The tiniest weighs four pounds and the heaviest weighs six. The triplets came to a family where there were already three girls and a boy. Summers is aged 32 and his wife 29. Wind at Fullerton Late Tuesday night during the heavy rain there was a hard wind which lasted only a few seconds. Twenty walnut trees in the grove of J. C. Sheppard in this city were blown down. The trees were planted in 1891. Sheppard says the ground has been kept thoroughly irrigated all summer and that when the heavy rain came down Tuesday night it made the ground soft and that this is the reason the trees were blown down. He thinks he can raise, replant and save nearly all of the trees. Two or three large umbrella trees were also blown down in that part of the city. Segura Confesses to Beer Sale Paulino Segura was examined before Justice Cox at Santa Ana Thursday, charged with selling four bottles of beer to Under Sheriffs Stacey and Law on the afternoon of November 14th. The officers met the Mexican east of the Santa Ana River, and purchased the beer from a supply which Segura said he was taking to his house to furnish cheer for a fiesta that was to be held there that night. When confronted by the testimony of Deputy Stacey, the accused said the facts had been correctly stated by the witness, and that he was guilty, having been a little The county has used the road but the Santa Fe owned it. The same condition existed up at Northam, where depot grounds had been reserved. Enough letters have been written concerning these two rights-of-way to fill a volume. The Santa Fe stenographer who first heard of it seems to have referred it to the assistant to a subsecretary, who referred it to the secretary, who referred it to the assistant of the assistant land agent, who referred it to somebody else. That is about the way the thing got along. It took ten months for the deeds to arrive. But they arrived today, and the county officials feel somewhat relieved. It took an awful lot of work to get title to do something that to all uses has belonged to the county. The county Justice Cox at Santa Ana Thursday, charged with selling four bottles of beer to Under Sheriffs Stacey and Law on the afternoon of November 14th. The officers met the Mexican east of the Santa Ana River, and purchased the beer from a supply which Segura said he was taking to his house to furnish cheer for a fiesta that was to be held there that night. When confronted by the testimony of Deputy Stacey, the accused said the facts had been correctly stated by the witness, and that he was guilty, having been a little drunk at the time he sold the stuff. He was held to answer, under $300 bail, to the superior court. The offence having been committed in the Fifth Supervisorial district, and coming under the Wyllie law, Justice Cox had no jurisdiction over the defendant beyond the preliminary. Big Fruit Shipments Fifty or more carloads of oranges will be shipped east from Fullerton for the holiday trade. Fruit will begin moving from the local packing houses about December 10th. The Benchley Fruit Company will ship 12 or 15 carloads. This company reports that the fruit is fairly well colored and that the sizes will be a little smaller than last year. Mr. Benchley says the crop of Washington navels will not be as large as it was last season, in fact he does not believe that there will be more than 80 per cent of a normal crop in Orange county. This company has been shipping oranges from Sanger during the past two weeks and reports that the fruit up there is in excellent condition for shipping now. The Placentia Orange Growers' Association, according to a statement by Manager A. Pritchard, will begin shipping holiday fruit from both the Fullerton and Placentia houses about December 10 and will move out about 15 carloads. Mr. Pritchard reports that the fruit is well colored and is as sweet as it was at this time last year. The fruit will also run to good sizes. He believes there will be an average crop but says it will not be as large as it was before the freeze of last season. Interrupted the Picture Florence Seidell, Monday took another involuntary bath in Newport Bay, and the moving picture machine recorded another scene in which an accident interrupted the acting out of a plot to be presented by moving pictures. The aviatrix escaped without injury. In her hydro-aeroplane, she was to sail up and rescue Gus Vanderpool, a moving picture actor supposed to be drowning. Vanderpool was stationed about 15 feet from shore. The airship came up successfully and Vanderpool grabbed hold of the front end does not want to build good roads on some man's land, because that man might want his land for a pig-pen, warehouse or an oil well. Stolen Sheep Still Troublesome Some time ago M. Soto had a sheep stolen over near Los Alamitos. Since then a procession has moved irregularly through Justice Cox's court at Santa Ana to the county jail for stealing the sheep, for receiving a part of the meat, and Friday morning Silvio Ruiz was brought in for receiving the pelt. Two witnesses appeared. Under Sheriff Dean, who saw Ruiz go from his house to the place where the pelt was found buried and made him dig it up, and Joe Fenando, now serving six months in the county jail for stealing the sheep, who testified that he brought the pelt to Ruiz' house, but did not give it to Ruiz. The latter said that he had gone out that morning after wood. That on the way he saw a place where the ground had been disturbed. SUGAR FACTORIES IN PERIL The National Association of Sugar Beet Manufacturers has been in session in Chicago the past week. It was a gloomy session and nothing but disaster could be seen in the future. "It was declared on the floor of the convention that the crop of next year would be the last to be harvested and manufactured, at least until there should be some change in the tariff. It was stated that beet sugar will be unable to contend with the price of cane sugar after 1916. This will necessitate the closing up of all the factories which are now engaged in the industry." There are one hundred millions of dollars now invested in factories and equipment, according to one delegate, and these will be forced to find new outlets within the next year. Factories in Michigan and Wisconsin where the percentage of saccarine matter is not so great as in the California and Florence Seidel, Monday took another involuntary bath in Newport Bay, and the moving picture machine recorded another scene in which an accident interrupted the acting out of a plot to be presented by moving pictures. The aviatrix escaped without injury. In her hydro-aeroplane, she was to sail up and rescue Gus Vanderpool, a moving picture actor supposed to be drowning. Vanderpool was stationed about 15 feet from shore. The airship came up successfully and Vanderpool grabbed hold of the front end of the pontoon instead of the center as he had been directed to. It had suddenly occurred to him to keep as far away from the deadly propeller as possible. The aviatrix shouted to him to let go but he held on desperately. His weight of a hundred and ninety pounds over-balanced the machine and turned it over forward, pitching the aviatrix, who wore a cork jacket, head first into the water. By a quick struggle the plucky woman got clear of the engine and came to the surface of the water through the wings very wet but uninjured. She was rescued by boatmen, but two sections of the wings were damaged. The moving picture machine got it all. Deed Finally Arrived Large bodies move slowly. Perhaps that is the reason it took a deed to Orange county for roadway that the county has been using for years, nearly a year to get here. When the good roads work was started, the first thing tackled was right-of-way. That proved to be a tremendous task. Attorney Walter Eden and the other officials who have had the work in hand found that the road south of Olive runs through land that along in 1887 was dedicated to the Santa Fe as depot grounds for the town of St. James. St. James is a mere memory to the old-timers who were here in boom days. and Friday morning Silvio Ruiz was brought in for receiving the pelt. Two witnesses appeared. Under Sheriff Dean, who saw Ruiz go from his house to the place where the pelt was found buried and made him dig it up, and Joe Fenando, now serving six months in the county jail for stealing the sheep, who testified that he brought the pelt to Ruiz' house, but did not give it to Ruiz. The latter said that he had gone out that morning after wood. That on the way he saw a place where the ground had been disturbed, and thought something had been buried there. He put a tumble weed on the place and stamped it down but could give no satisfactory explanation as to his motive in thus decorating the grave. Said he didn't know anything about any pelt, if there had been one at his house he would have smelt it. It was while he was moving away from the cache that Dean accosted him and made him dig it up. Justice Cox remarked that he was too gorgeous a liar to be at large and held him over to the superior court to answer. Later in the day, Ruiz entered a plea of guilty before Judge West. Charles H. Green, chief of the department of manufactures of the Panama-Pacific International Exposition, has received word from exhibitors all over the world and is assured of one of the most remarkable collective displays of the world's manufactures ever assembled. The development of the manufacturing industries has been rapid. In the United States alone the latest census discloses the existence of more than six hundred thousand manufacturing and mechanical establishments. The total annual output is valued at over $15,000,000,000 and the capital employed by this myriad of working concerns is over $10,000,000 annually. It was stated that beet sugar will be unable to contend with the price of cane sugar after 1916. This will necessitate the closing up of all the factories which are now engaged in the industry. "There are one hundred millions of dollars now invested in factories and equipment, according to one delegate, and these will be forced to find new outlets within the next year. Factories in Michigan and Wisconsin where the percentage of saccarine matter is not so great as in the California and Colorado beet fields, will not make any contracts for next year even, as it is stated that they did business at an actual loss the present year. "Representatives are present from factories in Michigan, Minnesota, Iowa, Illinois, Wisconsin, Kansas, Colorado, Montana, Nevada, Utah, California and Arizona. These delegates are all of the opinion that the industry is on its last legs, in the states they represent." On receipt of the above dispatch a newspaper representative interviewed managers of the sugar companies in Santa Ana, and learned that they would be forced to close down the business unless some change would be made in tariff. "As the matter stands now," said one of these officials, "it will be a case of losing money for the beet sugar factories of Orange county to try to keep their factories running under the conditions which will exist when the tariff is gone completely. We broke about even this year, but next year, when 25 per cent will be deducted from the present tariff, I see nothing but a shut down. Of course, we will make contracts for next year, but they will be at a smaller price for beets. And in 1916, when the tariff is off altogether, there will be nothing in it for the beet grower, and none would take contracts at the price we could afford to pay."

Center St. : Anaheim, Ca “There’s No Place Like Home” HAVE FAITH IN THE HOME MAN It is true today as it was 1900 years ago that “a prophet is not without honor save in his own country.” The lack of appreciation by home people has caused many a man to leave a town and seek a new community in which to begin an enterprise. Thus a new industry which might have helped this town to grow was lost because its people lacked faith in the home man. The man who goes away and succeeds is readily acknowledged by the people of his home town as a genius. Many an inventor and many a projector of new enterprises has had this experience; it is common, indeed, to all mankind. Persons in many communities have not sufficiently appreciated what their neighbors were accomplishing or could achieve and so many a man has gone elsewhere and found recognition that was denied him at home. Give credit and backing to the home man. Have faith in him and encourage him. If this is done fully and freely it will go a long way toward keeping at home many a man who otherwise will go elsewhere to find moral and financial backing. There is genius in this town as well as in any other. If you know of a man who has something to develop, don’t let him go elsewhere. Help him to get a start right here. Commercial enterprises are a benefit to any town, and we should have sufficient pride in this town to want it to grow. ---the newspapers tell us of someone who has hidden his savings in strange places—only to lose them by fire or theft. ---this can only be attributed to ignorance. ---analyze the situation ---ask friends—the safest place for savings is in a strong bank. ---and closest investigation will prove that this conservative bank is absolutely secure. 4 per cent interest on savings.
