GRAHAM Trade at Headquarters---IT IS SAFE FACTORY CLOSES BECAUSE OF TARIFF STOCKHOLDER IN THE ALAMEDA PLANT TELLS OF DISASTER TO SUGAR INTERESTS MILLION DOLLAR INSTITUTION IN COURSE OF CONSTRUCTION DISMANTLED AT LOSS There is one man in Southern California who is qualified to speak as to the influence of the cut in the tariff on sugar and its results, which gives an idea of what is being suffered in other portions of the United States and probably in many different industries affected by the tariff. George W. Scott, a wealthy San Francisco man, who is staying for the week in this region, has been affected to no uncertain degree on account of the change in his affairs caused by the necessity of closing a sugar factory in which he is interested and in calling off of the eduction of a $1,000,000 sugar plant, for the construction of which part of the steel had been received. Mr. Scott tells of the incident as follows: "I am a stockholder in the Alameda Sugar Company, owners of a plant at Alvarado, California, which they have operated for many years, but which will be shut down this year as a result of the operation of the new tariff law. In addition, this company some time ago acquired a valuable property at Mederian, near Marysville, consisting of 11,000 acres. The property is located on the Sacramento river and is subject to irrigation. The Alameda Sugar Company spent much money on pumps and pipes, getting ready to plant the land to sugar beets, to be sent to a $1,000,000 sugar plant, plans for which had been accepted. "At the time that the new tariff law went into effect, $80,000 worth of steel had been delivered at the proposed site of the new factory and was on the ground at the time the new bill was signed by the President." er National Bank of San Francisco and is a member of the executive board of the Pacific Theological Seminary at Berkeley, whose president, Dr. McClean, recently passed away. He has extensive business interests and practices extensive philanthropies. There are a number of sugar factories in California that will not open again under present conditions. A CURE FOR CIGARETTE HABIT Oregon Physician Says Nitrate of Silver Does the Job After giving it a thorough trial for six weeks on boys sent to the institution, W. F. Hale, superintendent of the Oregon State Training School for Boys, announced that nitrate of silver was a positive cure for the cigarette habit. He said one treatment put an end to the smoking for the time being and treatment for several days ended the craving. "Almost all boys sent here are cigarette smokers," declared the superintendent, "and of course it has been our practice to break them of the habit as soon as possible. In some instances the boys were so addicted to tobacco that it would have been unwise to take it away from them at once, so they were allowed to smoke in moderation for two or three days. However, when a smoker arrives now we give him the nitrate of silver treatment and that ends the habit. They just simply cannot smoke after their mouths and throats have been swabbed with the drug. "One of our physicians heard of the treatment several months ago and we began its use about six weeks ago. We said nothing about it for a while, because we thought it best to await results, but now that we have found it efficacious we do not care who knows it. The boys who have finished the treatment say they have not the slightest desire for tobacco. I am certain the treatment would be as efficacious for adults as for boys and that the tobacco habit in all forms would yield to it." In addition, this company some time ago acquired a valuable property at Mederian, near Marysville, consisting of 11,000 acres. The property is located on the Sacramento river and is subject to irrigation. The Alameda Sugar Company spent much money on pumps and pipes, getting ready to plant the land to sugar beets, to be sent to a $1,000,000 sugar plant, plans for which had been accepted. "At the time that the new tariff law went into effect, $80,000 worth of steel had been delivered at the proposed site of the new factory and was on the ground at the time the new bill was signed by the President. Since that time, however, the company has decided to abandon the proposed building on account of the protection for sugar having been eliminated and the encouragement of competition from abroad. "The company has now leased this land, which was ideal for the growing of sugar beets, for other crops and has decided to sell the steel that had been delivered for the new factory for what it may bring as old steel." "We are also going to close the Alameda factory, the operation of which cannot be done at a profit with the new tariff in effect. "When I purchased my stock in the Alameda Sugar Company the stock was at par and was paying a dividend of 8 per cent. Under the new tariff conditions the price of the stock has fallen to $10 per share and I have had to pay an assessment of $2.50 per share on my holdings. "But the worst feature of this, which is only one instance among many, is that the establishment of a new factory by this company would have meant the employment of several hundred men the year around and several thousands in the fields several months of the year, in addition to the payment of hundreds of thousands of dollars to the growers for beets, whereas the crops on the land at this time will bring but small returns, and all of this, in addition to the closing down of an industry at Alvarado that has been established and has been run successfully for years. "I can only commend President Wilson, however, in the fact that he carried out his party pledges by acting so quickly, for if he had delayed the matter very long, we might have our entire new plant completed and would have been forced to close it up." Mr. Scott is a director in the Crock- "One of our physicians heard of the treatment several months ago and we began its use about six weeks ago.

MILLIONS MADE IN CHICKENS The hens of Iowa last year, according to the report of the township assessors, produced more than $38,000,000. This is just about the value of the combined gold output of California and Colorado. As there are only 36,000,000 hens in the state, the money output of the poultry of the state was more than $1 per hen for the year. As the hens are worth less than a dollar each, they have proved magnificent money makers. The poultry production of California, in spite of the efforts of Petaluma and a few other centers, does not approach that of Iowa. In fact, in spite of the boasts of California in this matter, we do not begin to produce the eggs and poultry we use. Storage eggs are shipped to California in car load lots, and the giant poultry cars, loaded with live chickens, are a familiar sight to those along the railroad. And yet California has in climatic conditions a tremendous advantage over the eastern states. Wedo not have to take unsusual precautions during the winter for the care of the hens and the chickens to some extent are busy during the winter months. It would seem that we could learn a lesson from Iowa. Of course that state lies in the center of a populous portion of the country where the poultrymen have a large market at their doors; but California poultrymen do not begin to supply their own market. It would seem that there is something wrong with our methods if we do not make poultry pay. Certainly nature has done more than her share for us. Petaluma has proved that there is money in eggs; but there is no reason why Petaluma should be the only poultry center in California. Iowa, and also Ohio, Illinois, Missouri, Kansas and other states in the Middle West prove that the chicken is a profitable crop.—Sacramento Union. G. W.

Backs' Old Stand (Established over a Quarter of a Century Ago) ORANGE COUNTY GROWS MUCH CELERY TWELVE HUNDRED ACRES GROWN IN THIS COUNTY THIS SEASON NINETY PER CENT OF ACREAGE BELONGS TO CELERY GROWERS' ASSOCIATION An association of 110 celery growers, that has run smoothly since its organization thirteen years ago, is to be found in Orange county. Hard dealings with commission men gave a common cause to weld the farmers together at the start, and wise details in its constitution and management have placed under its control 90 per cent of the 1,200 acres devoted to celery in this county. Under its constitution, the association may borrow any amount of money up to $40,000 annually. This it does when its members need the money, the First National Bank of Santa Ana supplying the cash, without question, at 6 per cent interest, to be repaid as soon as the association chooses. This is loaned at 6 per cent to its members, who would otherwise have difficulty in getting it at 7 or 8 per cent. The association buys seed in France for the whole section. Bordeaux spray material is also bought wholesale and sold to members at cost. G. W. Moore, one of the charter members, and now its president and manager, employs crew bosses and crews who cut, grade, pack, and label the crop for all the members, charging the cost to each one individually. The manager apportions the amount that each may cut at any one time pro rata, according to the market demands. Every member agrees to turn over his entire crop to the association for marketing. The association keeps its books open at all times to the inspection of its members and renders complete original sales accounts when requested.

The association keeps its books open at all times to the inspection of its members and renders complete original sales accounts when requested. The California Vegetable Union markets the crop under contract with the Celery Growers' Association, charging ¾c per dozen for all selling under 18c and up to 2½c for higher priced sales. The Vegetable Union has salaried agents in the principal Eastern markets who look out for its interests in all f. o. b. sales and see that the auction sales are well handled. Expenses, salaries, losses, etc., incurred in association business are paid from a fund created by withholding 1½c per dozen bunches from the returns of all sales. Whatever is left at the end of the season is refunded to the growers. This usually amounts to two-thirds of the entire fund. Owing to daily fluctuations of price on the markets, the average price of all sales of each grade for each month is paid to the growers according to the amount each has shipped of each grade during that month. The shipping season lasts from November to March, inclusive. Each crate shipped receives the association label after inspection by the manager or his field superintendents. This is where the association has its only difficulty. Owing to the large amount of labor involved in celery raising, Japanese, Chinese, and Mexicans compete strongly with white growers. But these "no savvy" "throw out bad celery"; and many do not join the association or else violate the high grade standard indicated by its label. Inferior celery knocks the prices on all of it. Aside from this difficulty, the association has had prosperous, peaceful sailing, no losses from dishonest commission men, supplies bought at wholesale, money borrowed cheaper than usual, intelligent distribution to markets that need the celery and will pay the price. FINED TWENTY DOLLARS H. Williams was arrested last Saturday evening, charged with having caught and having in his possession crawfish under size, also over-size. He gave his promise to be on hand in court at 10 o'clock, and promptly appeared at that hour. It being proven that he had the fish in his possession, Judge Cox fined him the minimum amount fixed by law, $20.00. He paid the fine. The complaint was sworn to by I. A. Bordener. Charles Vanberg and wife of Aurora, Nebraska, are spending a couple of weeks with H. F. Kealiher and family. Mr. and Mrs. Vanberg spent several weeks with friends in the San Joaquin valley and other points north before coming here but they only began to realize the beauties of California after arriving in Orange county. Mr. Vanberg declares if he had disposed of his interests in Nebraska before leaving he would never again go beyond the boundaries of this county—or at least he would remain within easy distance of it. They will remain here a couple of weeks and Mr. Kealiher expects to see them return for all time shortly. FARM LAND BANK SYSTEM There was introduced on Thursday in both houses of Congress a bill which provides for the establishing of a national farm land bank system. The bill as introduced provides for the creation, operation and supervision of a national farm land bank system, through which the farm land banks to be established under the terms of the act, or to be created through the federalization of existing state farm mortgage concerns and farmers' banks shall become the new rural credit system of the United States. Banks under the proposed law are prohibited from engaging in general banking business. They may not loan on the stock or bonds of fellow bankers in the system. Their loaning power is restricted to 15 times their own capital and surplus. The measure is tentatively the administration bill for the establishment of a national rural credit system. It represents the result of the labors of a United States commission appointed by President Wilson last April to investigate the rural credit system in European countries and report thereon.
