H. Crocheron, assistant professor of agricultural extension. Thirty states will be represented at this Washington conference. Plans will be discussed for co-operation between the government, the agricultural colleges, and local committees whereby every county shall have a trained advisor, who will go about among the farmers spreading knowledge of improved methods, helping one farmer to learn by the experience of his most successful neighbors, and aiding the individual to obtain from the experiment stations special advice on special problems. Another great work which these state leaders will confer upon is that of developing boys' agricultural clubs throughout the country. These boys' clubs conduct contests for growing the best corn, the best pigs, the best potatoes, etc., and so improved methods are brought into general knowledge and use. Agricultural clubs have now been formed in a number of California high schools, in co-operation with the agricultural students at Berkeley. Among these are Ferndale, Arcata, and Fortuna, in Humboldt county, and Yreka, Napa, Santa Ana, and Santa Barbara. The University plans to hold during the coming year crop-growing and animal-raising contests throughout the state, in which the members of these and other clubs will participate. Anyone who wants to start such a club in his own neighborhood will have the hearty co-operation of the Agricultural Club of 500 students of the College of Agriculture at Berkeley, if he will America already, and is expected to add incalculably to the productivity of American farms and the prosperity of American farmers. FINE SHOWING BY PLACENTIA MUTUAL Orange Growers' Association Report Profitable Season The annual meeting of the stockholders of the Placentia Mutual Orange Association was held at the packing house on Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock. A large majority of the stockholders were present to hear the annual report and the speakers. A brief summary of the year's business was given by the manager. The association paid net per packed box regardless of variety or grade after deducting all freight and packing charges, $2.28. For every 100 filled boxes delivered at the packing house, 63.5 packed boxes were shipped. The percentage pack for the navels was 66 and for the Valencias 60. After taking into consideration the amount of frozen fruit and badly wind-marked fruit, and that the fruit was not sorted in the field, to have the fruit pack out 63.5 per cent and pay the net price of $2.28 per pack box is considered to be the highest average made by any association in this locality. Mr. A. Gregory, general manager of the Mutual 'Orange Distributors, was present and gave the growers a very clear idea as to the present market's conditions. He also spoke of the fruit situation, here saying that the amount of fruit to be shipped from California is larger than it was first estimated. Mr. Thomas Strain, Jr., district manager for the Mutual and a director of the association here, and Mr. Wolever, manager of the Mutual house at River-side, each gave a very good talk along different lines. Local matters were then taken up. The association is installing for the coming year a new double grader, a washer and a newly improved roller system for handling loose boxes of fruit. It is the aim of the association to install machinery only as the increased business warrants and then to install only that class of machinery which will best take care of the fruit for the growers. The following directors were elected: Samuel Kraemer, J. C. Tuffree, J. W. Newell, Benj. Kraemer, C. C. Wagner, A. T. Pendleton, Thos. Strain, Jr. AT CA J. O.

Forster and Blanche Dolph Erecting Palatial Mansions The valley of the San Juan Capistrano mission is to have two handsome new residences, one to be built by John O. Forster and the other by Miss Blanche Dolph of Arch Beach. That is not strictly true, for Miss Dolph's residence is to be built on the rocky coast near the mouth of the immediate future that will cause the whole people to show greater concern than they have manifested in the past. It is difficult for many men to realize how important the producer is, because in the cities he is seldom seen, but he performs the highly important service of growing practically all that feeds and clothes the nation, and it is from his industry that all others draw their life, and his prosperity is the common prosperity of all. The means of helping the producers are not things that can be readily explained by everybody—they are questions that require the services of capable men who are unselfish enough to DEMAND GOOD WORK D. C. Pixley, highway commissioner, states in regard to the criticisms of the highway work, that he knew nothing of alleged lack of depth in the concrete work. He said that some of the concrete had been found to be soft, and that the commission had not accepted the work and were investigating it. He stated that the commission gives careful attention to every phase of the work, and that if it appears that any inspector or engineer on any of the work has been careless or incompetent, as far as he is personally concerned, he will insist that such officials be discharged. J. O. Forster and Blanche Dolph Erecting Palatial Mansions The valley of the San Juan Capistrano mission is to have two handsome new residences, one to be built by John O. Forster and the other by Miss Blanche Dolph of Arch Beach. That is not strictly true, for Miss Dolph's residence is to be built on the rocky coast near the mouth of the canyon. The mission valley seems likely to soon become famous for its fine country residences. Two, built two years ago by Frank Forster and Cornelio Echenisque, have attracted much attention. The Forster dwelling will be of reinforced concrete construction and fire-proof. The main house will be 86x30 feet in size, the kitchen wing being 20x30 feet. The roofs will be of mission tile. One of the charming features will be a patio measuring 68x90 feet in dimensions and surrounded by pergolas. The Dolph place will occupy a ten-acre site on bluffs overlooking the ocean and lying to the south of San Juan Capistrano proper. The elevation is such that the house will command a superb view of all the valley back of the mission. It is one of the most charming portions of the American Riviera. The house will contain 14 rooms and will be 100x80 feet in size. The main feature of the plan is an open court 65 feet square into which all the principal rooms will open. This court will face to the south. The interior of the dwelling is to be finished in hard woods, and most of the rooms will have unusually high paneling. THE FARMER'S WELFARE No portion of the President's message so vitally concerns the American people as that which relates to the farmers, and it is fortunate that he recognizes that the prosperity of the country depends upon this industry to a much greater extent than upon any other. It is impossible to conceive that the President is not deeply concerned in the matter of farm credits, or any other matter that touches the welfare of the American farmer, and the fact that he realizes we "have allowed the industry of our farms to lag behind the other activities of the country" indicates that it is his purpose to urge Congress, not only in this measure, but in all others, to devote more attention to the farmers. It is difficult for many men to realize how important the producer is, because in the cities he is seldom seen, but he performs the highly important service of growing practically all that feeds and clothes the nation, and it is from his industry that all others draw their life, and his prosperity is the common prosperity of all. The means of helping the producers are not things that can be readily explained by everybody—they are questions that require the services of capable men who are unselfish enough to consider their work of greater importance than their own political fortunes. As a result of the efforts of men who have concerned themselves in this subject, it is almost certain that we shall be given a satisfactory system of farm credits, which will be one important advance, but the work must continue until the farmer has everything to which he is entitled. SUIT TO QUIET TITLE Mrs. Martha Shaffer, owner of extensive property interests in Santa Ana and Orange, has begun suit to quiet title to the Temple theater of that place, which has been under lease by Dr. A. M. Roberts since it was built. The theater is said to have been built originally with a view of making it a temple for the use of the believers in spiritualism, but was converted into a moving-picture and vaudeville house. It was so conducted by Dr. Roberts for several years, but has recently been closed, Dr. Roberts having moved to Ocean Park. The object of the suit is to again give control of the building to Mrs. Shaffer, who financed the project. ALFALFA ALWAYS HIGH "Here in California we can never hope to equal the demand for alfalfa. Prices must rule high. Alfalfa rarely ever sells for less than $8 per ton and often it reaches $20. Think of eight or even nine or ten crops a season and twelve tons per acre in a single year! "On my own farm on the Sacramento River, which is sub-irrigated river sediment soil, alfalfa sown in April produced ten tons of hay that same year. If there is any other crop comparable with this, I have not heard of it. Alfalfa, properly managed, rivals even the nuts and citrus fruits at their best as a 'money getter.'" The above statements are excerpts from a speech delivered by Dr. A. J. Cook, state horticultural commissioner, before the California State convention of Fruit Growers, at San Jose, last week, and has created wide comment. There can be no doubt of the correctness of Dr. Cook's statements, by being nothing of alleged lack of depth in the concrete work. He said that some of the concrete had been found to be soft, and that the commission had not accepted the work and were investigating it. He stated that the commission gives careful attention to every phase of the work, and that if it appears that any inspector or engineer on any of the work has been careless or incompetent, as far as he is personally concerned, he will insist that such officials be discharged. Chief Engineer Halliday said today that he could not account for the alleged thinness of the concrete. He stated that some soft concrete had been found, and that a careful examination of all the work would be made and the contractor compelled to replace it where defective. NOT A QUESTION OF TARIFF It seems a foregone conclusion that there is to be widespread disappointment among those who are expecting radical reduction in the cost of living in the item of table meats as a result of the new tariff law. Meat animals continue high with prospect of going higher still in the face of and in spite of the free listing of cattle and fresh meats. Such problems as the cost of living have always been, and must always be, very largely dependent on productive, economical industrial and trade conditions, and can only be affected incidentally and in small measure to acts of government. There has been such a persistent and long-continued disposition among the people in this country to look to politics for relief from the illies and hardships of life, that this bent of mind has become a positive obsession. The disillusionment from the dream might as well come now as later, for some it must and will. The Democratic tariff has been framed with the expectation that it would serve the best interests of the American people, but no administration, no labor and wisdom in congress can do more for the people as a whole than a fraction of what the idealists, thetheorists and innovators have preached could be done by the state for the individual through laws and political devices. To return from generalities to the specific question of table supplies, it stands to reason that but two ways of cheapening beef are open under the tariff free list now in force—first, through large imports of cattle on the hoof and of meat at low prices; or, secondly, through large importations of low priced feed stuffs to cheapen the cost of raising and feeding cattle here. It is impossible to conceive that the President is not deeply concerned in the matter of farm credits, or any other matter that touches the welfare of the American farmer, and the fact that he realizes we "have allowed the industry of our farms to lag behind the other activities of the country" indicates that it is his purpose to urge Congress, not only in this measure, but in all others, to devote more attention to the farmers. As he says, "it is not proper that the farmers should enjoy any privilege," but since their welfare indirectly concerns the whole people it is highly important that nothing be left undone on the part of the government to make the business enjoy the highest possible degree of prosperity. The trouble with many of the efforts to help the farmer is that they reached high tide during a political campaign, and were calculated to injure him, by stirring up class feeling, rather than to prove of any benefit. It does no good to tell the farmer he is being imposed upon. What concerns him is a method by which he may better his condition, and the solution of his problems is more likely to be found by the sincere student who carefully weighs matters than by the man who has an ax to grind. The farmer need not expect the government, either state or national, to solve any great number of the problems that confront him, because the greater part of his success or failure is measured by his own judgment and labor, but there are many ways in which the government can be of assistance, and it is fortunate that the President shows a determination to furnish as much relief as possible. It is highly important that the state, as well as the nation, should give more attention to this most important of all industries, and it is to be hoped that there will be an awakening in the year. If there is any other crop comparable with this, I have not heard of it. Alfalfa, properly managed, rivals even the nuts and citrus fruits at their best as a 'money getter.'" The above statements are excerpts from a speech delivered by Dr. A. J. Cook, state horticultural commissioner, before the California State convention of Fruit Growers, at San Jose, last week, and has created wide comment. There can be no doubt of the correctness of Dr. Cook's statements, by being an agricultural expert of more than state-wide fame, and president of the Fruit Growers' Association.

The grain markets have been affected slightly from time to time the past few weeks by reports and rumors of heavy imports, but the downward turns from this influence have been spasmodic and insignificant. Corn and oats are both high and will remain high until this country raises another record crop—and it will have to be a bumper crop, in fact, to meet the fast increasing demand and materially lower the profitably produced at lower prices than now prevail. Unless the farmers here and everywhere elect to raise more meat animals, advance the supply nearer to the demand and participate in larger production at somewhat smaller profits. American livestock will continue master of the situation. There is practically nothing to fear from the tariff free list and the influence of foreign competition. Distant Argentina can no more fix the price of beef in the United States than Russia could send its armies 6,000 miles over a single-track railroad and win the war against Japan.
