ANNUAL INCOME 27 MILLION DOLLARS D. W. McDANNALD TELLS OF THE RESOURCES OF LITTLE ORANGE COUNTY GARDEN SPOT OF THE WORLD ACCORDING TO HIS EXPERT ESTIMATE D. W. McDannald, the Orange county booster, who is perhaps the best posted man in the county relative to its resources, has taken his pen in hand and written up a few facts about the county, its present condition and prosperative future. From his article we extract the following: Reader, if by some unforeseen circumstance you chance to be a stranger in Orange county in the beautiful Southland, the like of which there is none other within the scope of His reign, then I possess the intimate acquaintance of that most delightful section, and if you have a spare half hour at your disposal I'd be delighted to recite a few of her offerings and allurements. Having been introduced to her nearly a half century ago, when the call of the wild was in the land, and having watched her grow from a toddling infant in rags and tatters to a beautiful creature robed and bedecked in royal splendor, I think you will enjoy my little story. Please take a seat in that easy rocker, where you can inhale the soft, soothing zephyrs, and catch the changing vistas, while I tell you what her inheritance is and how richly endowed. Her yearly income, derived from many sources is conservatively estimated at $27,000,000, and her wealth in round numbers, could be safely stated as $100,000,000. But these figures will only apply to the year at hand. Judging the future by the past, next year's record will show a marked increase. What it will be in the years the Santa Fe, and either of these trains will land you at almost any desired destination in the county. Maybe you have brought your automobile along, for if it is winter time, "back there" so you would not have much use for it, in that case take any highway leading to the southeast and from 12 to 14 miles will land you across the border. This is the beginning of "Indian summer" the weather is just as though it had been made to order, and I am going with you on this, your maiden trip, and I know you will pardon me if I make a great many explanations, for I take it for granted you are in search of information, and how else can I satisfy your craving. First, I believe I will take you out to an orange grove, and let you pick a few golden spheres. We feel extremely proud of our orange groves, for they are bringing us such a treasure of golden wealth this year. Some of our neighbors are not so fortunate, for they lost heavily from last winter's cold. Our oranges will bring us more money this year than last, for the prices are much higher, and then we only lost about one-fifth of the crop by the cold spell. Don't you think that is pretty good, considering we have never suffered even that much loss since the first trees were planted. Ours are mostly Valencias and they bring us better prices than the navels do, and they hang on the trees until most other fruits are gone. In ordinary seasons they bring us more than $2.00 a box, this year they are quoted at $6.00 and there is not one-half enough to supply the demand. Navels usually bring the grower less than $1.00 a box. Our lemons escaped injury last winter and are now selling at $8.00 and a little better, a box. How would you like to own a good lemon or Valencia orange orchard in Orange county frostless belt? You can, land is not so high as to make it prohibitive. I might not be able to make this statement ten years hence. The way people are flocking into this little frost protected pocket there can be but one result to land valuations. If I had the time, I would be delighted to take you through several outlying districts where, only a few years ago the land was considered valueless as tree land and was held by the owners at $25.00 to $30.00 an acre. In recent years a great deal of new blood has been injected in the arteries of improvement, and those same lands, now many years ago, among our best allies discovered their ability, and after Americans out of most abandoned its valuations.

In recent years a great deal of new blood has been injected in the arteries of improvement, and those same lands, now that ample water has been developed to irrigate them, find eager purchasers at $1,000 an acre and the top rung in the ladder has not been reached, for they lie snugly enconced in the frostless belt where the rare fruits from tropical climes ripen in perfect maturity. We are now at the county line, and if you will look over there to the east where the horizon is marked by the brown rim of the Santa Ana range you can scan the outline of a section different from any yet discovered in the United States. There water, soil and sunshine form a triune group marking it an easy winner in the race for wealth. Avocados, the richest in food values the world has any knowledge of, is a fruit so highly appreciated for its value as a food product, that the local trade consumes all that is now grown at prices ranging from $6.00 to $9.00 a dozen. The avocado grows almost spontaneously in the West India Islands and is used extensively by the sailors coming around the "Horn." They spread the meaty part of the fruit on their hard-tack, and call it "Midshipmen's butter." The section of country you can see, dimly in the distance and extending north and south eight or ten miles, and having an average width of five miles the avocado finds as congenial conditions as it did in its island home in the Mid-Pacific. If you haven't eaten a "Feijoa" you have missed the most delicately flavored fruit grown. What do they taste like? Well if you were to mix strawberries, pineapples and bananas together you'd then have a nectar faintly resembling the feijoa. We sometimes call the Cherimoya the "lazy housewife's fruit" for the reason that it is corn starch pudding prepared by mother nature, without artificial aid. To one with a palate trained to sweets with a delicate flavor, the cherimoya appeals as no other fruit does. Guavas of various kinds and coming from many sections "abroad" find congenial conditions here where they fruit and flower to perfection. The "Arbutus Uneda," or, as it is known in local parlance, "the strawberry tree," is grown but sparingly, and yet it thrives beautifully in our wholesome climate. Loquats attain such size and flavor as to put to shame the measley little tasteless parent first brought here from Japan.

'It Pleases Us to Please You' The "Arbutus Uneda," or, as it is known in local parlance, "the strawberry tree," is grown but sparingly, and yet it thrives beautifully in our wholesome climate. Loquats attain such size and flavor as to put to shame the measley little tasteless parent first brought here from Japan. If allowed to thoroughly ripen before they are eaten, there is no more palatable fruit grown than the Japanese or Chinese persimmons. Some day, in the none too distant future, these fruits will make the orange hustle to hold up its end of the balance sheet on the cash register. Almost every fruit of known value produced in any section of the world is grown here successfully and in greater or less commercial quantities, owing largely to the amount of publicity it has been given. If you are at all interested, I'd like to take you through some of the walnut orchards and tell you just a little of its history, past and present. The walnut's native heath in Persia, but was transplanted to the southern part of France many centuries ago. Strange to say, scarcely no improvement in the culture of the walnut had been made until its introduction into Southern California, and the greatest achievement in the propagation of new and vastly improved varieties are the result of recent years. Not many years ago the walnut was regarded as an expensive luxury, to be eaten only by those with ample wealth, during the festivities at the holiday season. Time has wrought startling changes. Walnut meats have been worked into so many food products and the necessaries that they are becoming as staple as flour. An oil is made from walnut meat that is superior in many respects to olive oil. Walnut trees, said to have been planted two hundred years ago are still in good bearing. Orange county, even with her scant area, last year produced more than one-half of the crop of the state. In the money valuation the walnut crop brings to the county about a million and half dollars annually.

The State Board of Health intends to stop that extravagant waste of life, so from March 1 it will supply free, from its "State Hygienic Laboratory" at the University of California, Professor F. P. Gay's improved vaccine, that makes it practically impossible to have typhoid. Revaccination every two or three years will be urged, for this simple precaution means safety from the dread disease. If the public will respond to this great opportunity, then 500 lives a year can be saved in California alone. Any physician in California who wants to aid in this great life-saving movement can obtain this anti-typhoid vaccine free by writing to the State Hygienic Laboratory, at the University of California, Berkeley. For a number of months past the Department of Pathology of the University has been sending the vaccine free to any physician who asked for it. Professor Gay wanted to make his improved process of anti-typhoid vaccination absolutely public property, so he has now turned the whole matter over to the State Board of Health, and from March 1 on the vaccine will be prepared and issued free by the State Hygienic Laboratory, under the direction of Dr. Wilbur A. Sawyer. Thousands of people have now been immunized against typhoid by this new method, elaborated in the University's bacteriological laboratories by Professor Gay and Dr. Edith J. Claypoole. Among these are over 1,200 students of the University and the whole staff of the university. INTERESTING PAPER READ At the last meeting of the Orange County Medical Society held in Santa Ana, a paper was read by Robert J. Hamilton, Orange County Secretary of the Y. M. C. A., on "Where and How Shall Sex Instruction Be Given." The paper emphasized a number of suggestions and resulted in a very animated discussion of the subject by the doctors who were present. Two of the physicians emphatically stated that attempts to teach sex hygiene in schools do more harm than good. The suggestion was made that the home was the best place for such instruction to be given, but Hamilton contended that there are many homes in which there is not sufficient knowledge or interest to give this instruction right, the schools should have some arrangement for giving this instruction. Some of the doctors felt that this could be well done in connection with the physiology class rather than by any public lecture. They said children's temperaments differ so widely that only parents can judge of what shall or shall not be told their children. The suggestion was made in the secretary's paper that the church should take a larger interest in this subject as so many young people were led astray and the good done in church and Sunday school was offset by the wrong which comes from ignorance of this subject. The newspapers were also given their share of blame for publishing so much that was suggestive along the lines of evil and not putting enough in that was constructive along this line. It was stated by Hamilton that books along this line should be read more largely by parents than they are in order that they might more intelligently present the truth to their own children, and a number of the best books along this line were exhibited, being the property of the Orange County Y. M. C. A. It was suggested that libraries throughout the country should have a "Parents' Book Shelf" where such books could be within the easy access of parents; and an important suggestion was made that women's clubs, parents' associations and various other public spirited organizations should endeavor to conduct classes or lectures to train parents to properly teach their children along this line in order that it can be done in the home, and so that it will not be necessary... IN AND ABOUT COUNTY Postmaster Thompson Letters have been received at Garden Grove stating that Congressman William Kettner has recommended the appointment of Frank C. Thompson as postmaster at that place. This settles a controversy for appointment at the Grove ever since it was announced a few weeks ago that the office had been raised from a fourth class office to a third class office. Postmaster Junkin, a Republican, was not a candidate for the appointment. Altogether five aspirants were in the field. J. D. Price and George Reyburn withdrew. With their withdrawals came Emerson, Brentlinger and Thompson seeking the appointment. That Thompson is to get the appointment is indicated by the fact that he has received the recommendation of the congressman, in whose hands the destinies of the post offices of his district lie. Thompson, a Democrat, lived at Orange a number of years, and at Garden Grove the last five years, and received strong indorsements from Democrats from various sections of the county. New Road at La Habra The proposal to form a road improvement district, vote bonds and pave a section of county road in La Habra Valley, has taken definite form. After a conference between La Habrans, the district attorney and Supervisor Schumacher, a resolution was presented to the supervisors and passed. This directs County Surveyor McBride to make a survey and estimates for paving a road in La Habra, commencing at the corner of Whittier avenue and La Mirada street, thence along La Mirada street to Central avenue and on Central avenue to Pomona avnue. The pavement will be 22 feet wide and 5 inches thick with two-layer pavement. The county surveyor is also directed to set road grades for all roads north of the Fullerton city limits and this side of the Puente Oil Company property. The district to be formed is designated as road district improvement No. 1. Huntington Beach Paving Bids have been asked for during the past week by the city of Huntington Beach for several miles of paving. Bonds to the sum of $59,000 have been issued for the work, which will include one and a quarter miles on Delaware avenue, three-quarters of a mile on Seventeenth street and two miles on Main and Twenty-third streets. The improved streets will connect the boulevard system of Orange county with the main thoroughfares of the beach town. Success has marked the sale of the subdivision away to every nook and corner of the Pacific Coast, and hundreds of teeming settlements proclaim in poetic splendor the success of co-operation as applied to water distribution by these pioneer irrigators. I'd like to remain at Anaheim awhile longer, but Fullerton, three miles to the north, has unlocked the city gates, and offers us the key.

Success has marked the sale of the subdivision of one-acre plots put on the market by the Huntington Beach Company and the Sharer Investment Company, and the tract is now practically sold out. Another subdivision of the same description is about to be opened in the same locality, which lies adjoining the city reservoir, not far from the center of the city. FOREST NOTES Minnesota has a forested area of 28 million acres, the largest of any state east of the Rocky Mountains. There are approximately four million acres of timber land in New Hampshire of which about half is in farmers' wood lots. Forest fires in the United States have caused an average annual loss of 70 human lives and the destruction of 25 million dollars' worth of timber. Juniper from the Indian reservations of New Mexico and Arizona may prove an excellent source of material for lead pencils. Manufacturers are looking the world over for pencil woods. Canada has established a forest products laboratory in connection with McGill University at Montreal, on the lines of the United States institution of the same sort at the University of Wisconsin. Tree planting on national forests has to be confined to comparatively short intervals in spring and fall. In spring it starts when the snow melts and stops with the drying out of the ground; in the fall it comes between the fall rains and first snowfall. As compared with alluvial mining, the lode-mining operations have been insignificant and have yielded no great body of facts upon which to base conclusions as to the persistence of the lodes. The facts presented in the report, however, show that the geologic conditions on the whole appear to be favorable to the occurrence of lode deposits and that these are not limited to the localities near Fairbanks which have been prospected. The report contains a detailed description of the Fairbanks district by L. M. Prindle and F. J. Katz and an account of lode mining near Fairbanks by Philip S. Smith. OUR RANK The relative rank of the first nine states in regard to value of crops showed that Illinois led with a total valuation for all farm crops of $372,000,000; Iowa was second with $315,000,000; Texas third was $298,000,000, followed by Ohio with $230,000,000; Georgia, $227,000,000; Missouri, $221,000,000; Kansas, $215,000,000; New York, $209,000,000; and Indiana, $204,000,000. And California is not mentioned with the first nine. But note this is general farm crops. The bureau of the census treats farm crops and fruits separately. Ninety per cent of the valuation of general farm crops is represented in 11 leaders. These showed a total aggregate value of $4,813,281,000. Of these 11 leading crops corn was the most valuable, followed by hay and forage, cotton, wheat, oats, vegetables (of all kinds), forest products on farms (timber, lumber, etc.), potatoes, tobacco, barley, and apples, in the order named. The value of the corn crop alone was $1,438,554,000; that of cotton, $703,619,000; that of wheat, $657,657,000; that of vegetables, $216,257,000. Soon we may know as to fruit producing states and California will be in the "also present class" or better. In barley we were formerly first Now Minnesota ranks first and we are second. California does not rank first in any one of the 11 leading farm crops. WE ARE NOT AFRAID to let the most particular customer test our goods.
