WILLIAMS WRITES OF HIS EXPERIENCES IN CHICAGO EXTRAVAGANT PRICES The marked success attending the introduction of Sudan grass into the United States and the limited supply of seed grown this year, due to the excessive drought, has led certain seed growers and dealers to ask unduly high prices for the seed. The high value of this grass has been demonstrated by the splendid results secured this season. While the supply is small, no one group of dealers has a monopoly on the seeds of this grass.

WILLIAMS WRITES OF HIS EXPERIENCES IN CHICAGO AND OTHER POINTS. ALL WEST-BOUND TRAINS ARE LOADED TO THE GUARDS, EAST-BOUND TRAINS DESERTED J. C. Williams, of Williams Bros. Co., of Anaheim and Los Angeles, is on a business trip to eastern points, and writes from Chicago that everyone he meets, almost without exception, is talking "California." He says every west-bound train is loaded to the guards, and east-bound trains look deserted. In New Mexico and Colorado the trains were delayed in some places three days, snow being from a foot to 15 feet deep. On Mr. Williams' return to Chicago from a trip through Ohio, he will meet his exhibit of S. C. Brown Leghorns which were shipped from here to compete at the big "Coliseum Poultry Show," the largest and finest poultry show in the United States outside of New York, where his birds defeated all the Eastern and Canadian exhibitors last January. Mr. Williams also writes that his exhibit of Brown Leghorns sent from here to the great International Poultry Show at Buffalo, N. Y., just closed, won first, second and fifth prizes, defeating "all comers." He expects to repeat this winning at the Chicago show. Mr. R. A. Rowan, the millionaire real estate operator of Los Angeles, is exhibiting his white faced black Spanish chickens with Mr. Williams' exhibit at Chicago. EXTRAVAGANT PRICES The marked success attending the introduction of Sudan grass into the United States and the limited supply of seed grown this year, due to the excessive drought, has led certain seed growers and dealers to ask unduly high prices for the seed. The high value of this grass has been demonstrated by the splendid results secured this season. While the supply is small, no one group of dealers has a monopoly on the seed of this grass. It has been quite widely distributed by the Department of Agriculture for two years, and since it seeds freely, large quantities of seed will soon be obtainable at reasonable rates. The average farmer is not justified in paying $1 or $1.50 per pound for this seed, except for very small quantities to be used in growing his own supply of seed next year. DIVERSIFIED CROP In the minds of those who know California, there has never been any doubt as to the fertility of California soil or its value from a productive viewpoint. At the same time everyone may not be familiar with the possibilities California land offers. The experience of the Southern Pacific Company with a tract of land adjoining its property at Merced gives a good idea of what may be done with small acreage. The company purchased this property some years ago and parked it. Today this park is a full grown orchard and now contains the following fruit trees: Three soft shell almonds, five royal apricots, three white figs, two black figs, 32 Muscat grapes, three Lisbon lemons, five mission olives, seven naval oranges, one seedling orange, four Bartlett pears, two American black walnuts, one English walnut. All the trees and plants are thriving and bore new crops this year. The orchard park at Merced is proving a source of great interest to travelers, especially those coming from the east.

In the past Christmas was a great event because the people took a little more time to live than the people of the present do, and the old entered into the spirit of the occasion as well as the young. They might not have been as wise as the people of the present, when measured by some standards, but they could beat us all hollow when it came to extracting happiness ATTACKED BY INFURIATED BULL Former Orange County Man Has Exciting Experience A. I. Stewart, formerly of Fullerton, and well known in Anaheim, is slowly recovering from injuries sustained by the attack of an infuriated bull, Sunday, and probably owes his life to the fact that the animal had been deformed. The attack of the bull was made as Stewart entered the corral on horseback. The force of the charge was such as to send the horse backward and down, after rearing upon its bind legs in an effort to escape. Both horse and rider were thrown upon the ground. The bull continued the attack and in the fight which followed Stewart was assisted materially by the fact that the horse was between himself and the bull. Armed with a heavy hammer, which he happened to have in his hand upon entering the corral, Stewart was able to defend himself until the arrival of one of the Mexicans in his employ, who rushed to the rescue. Stewart has three fractured ribs and is otherwise injured. ENORMOUS CROP VALUES With the most valuable crops of corn and cotton ever produced and the second most valuable oat crop, the value of the nation's 14 principal farm crops this year aggregates the enormous total of $4,940,301,000, the Department of Agriculture announced recently in its final estimates of acreage, production and value. This is an increase of $182,958,000 over the value of the same crops last year and of 850,772,000 over those of 1911, based on the prices paid to farmers Dec. 1. The total value of the animal products of the farm is estimated at about 8,000,000,000 annually. The acreage of the crops is equivalent to a farm one-seventh the size of continental United States. The exact area planted to these 14 crops, which is more than 95 per cent of the total all crop area, was 299,433,000 acres, an increase of almost 5,000,000 acres over last year's area and of more than 1000,000 over the 1911 area. More than one-third of the total acreage was planted to corn. For the crops as a whole the average production an acre was valued at about $16.50. The corn crop averaged 15.96 an acre; cotton, $22.19; sugar beets, $59.64; wheat, $12.14; oats, $11.44; sweet potatoes, $68.60; rice.

CHRISTMAS CHANGES People never notice how great a change there has come in the world so much as when Christmas is approaching. There is something in the season that makes one look back to the "good old days" and long for their return. In the long ago it seemed as if there was an age between one Christmas and another, and a few weeks before it seemed that the coming of Yuletide was too good to be true, but now the year passes more rapidly, and even before the day arrives we begin to look ahead to the first of January when the devil—the creditor—is to pay. As a matter of fact the times have not changed at all—the change is all in the individual.
