GARDEN GROVE IS HEART OF CHILI INDUSTRY SEVENTEEN HUNDRED TONS WILL BE MARKETED AT THAT POINT THIS YEAR PROFITABLE CROP WHICH IS RAPIDLY GROWING INTO ONE OF PROMINENCE On land running less than one mile in each direction from Garden Grove the greatest chili pepper industry in the United States is conducted. The gardeners of the community cultivated 800 acres of peppers in 1913 and produced therefrom 1,200 tons of green and approximately 500 tons of dried "redhots," the gross returns from which were $121,600. In addition to the chill pepper crop, Garden Grove produced last year fifty acres of valuable sweet Spanish peppers for pickling. There are now thirteen private pepper drying plants within a radius of two square miles adjoining the town. This year it is expected that at least five more drying plants will be erected. A sweet red pepper canning factory is a promise which will likely be fulfilled before the summer is done, and the growers have signified their intention to put in 1,500 acres of chili and 150 acres of sweet Spanish pickling peppers for the coming season. In the sandy loam at Garden Grove sprinkled with water from a fine-nozzled hose. They take up moisture rapidly, and when they have absorbed sufficient to make them very tough, without leaving any free moisture upon the outer surface, they are packed into the big sacks and shipped. Until recently it was customary to string red peppers for market. Many still cling to that system, but it is no longer popular, for it makes more work for the grower and the wholesaler has to pay a cent and a half more for string peppers than he pays for dry bulk goods. The only argument in favor of stringing is that the peppers can be hung up at the retail store and shown to better advantage. The public, however, has taken kindly to the red pepper in sacks, and it is better for all parties concerned. Some few of the Garden Grove planters ship direct to their own buyers in Eastern cities, but most of them sell their products to the Los Angeles wholesalers. BUILDS BUNGALOW AT BRENTWOOD Former Anahelmer Erecting Beautiful Home Near Los Angeles Will I. Smith, a relative of Charles R. Stephens, the wealthy Moline, Ill., manufacturer who recently purchased the property known as the Tiger's Tail, bordering on Brentwood Park, has just completed plans for an attractive eight-room bungalow to be built in Brentwood. Smith has been living in Brentwood Park for more than three months to decide whether that location best suited him and his choice was made conclusive when he purchased a site at the corner of Lincoln drive and Euclid.

A sweet red pepper canning factory is a promise which will likely be fulfilled before the summer is done, and the growers have signified their intention to put in 1,500 acres of chill and 150 acres of sweet Spanish pickling peppers for the coming season. In the sandy loam at Garden Grove the pepper growers have discovered that they can clean up from $125 to $210 per acre, and they are going into the comparatively exclusive industry quite extensively. The most extensive planter in the community is J. Allen Knapp, who has 85 acres of chill peppers under cultivation. Allen Brothers grow 40 acres each year. There are one or two 20-acre plots, and the remainder of the acreage is divided into small plantings, some of which is on leased land handled by Japs. When the green pepper crop comes on it is harvested and shipped to the pickling plants in Los Angeles, the contract price being $18 to $20 per ton, f. o. b., Garden Grove. Dried red peppers are something quite different in price. The prevailing wholesale price for dried reds is $200 dollars per ton. Packed in big gunnybags, not unlike standard wool sacks, the dried commodity sells for about $30 per sack—at the rate of 20 cents per pound. An acre will produce many or few dried peppers, according to the number of green harvested. If the average acre gives up 12 tons of greens worth $20 a ton, it will probably not yield more than half a ton of dry peppers. On the other hand, if only five tons of greens are gathered, the acre will likely produce a ton and a half of dried peppers. Growers conservatively estimate that it costs from $25 to $50 per acre to produce and market a crop. Most of the labor is entrusted to Japs. The white men act as overseers. By going through the fields in the summer and marking the thriftiest fruit, the growers nearly all save their own seed. In the spring they prepare the ground as carefully as though they were going to plant gardens, and in late March and early April they drill, with hand drills, the seed, in rows about three and one-half feet apart. It takes a pound and a half of seed to an acre. When the peppers come up they are thinned until there is one every twenty inches in the row. Every two weeks the crop is irrigated and cultivated. The cultivator runs close, but not deep, and leaves the field level, to be ditched and watered soon afterward. Will I. Smith, a relative of Charles R.

Smith has been living in Brentwood Park for more than three months to decide whether that location best suited him and his choice was made conclusive when he purchased a site at the corner of Lincoln drive and Euclid avenue, through J. A. Campbell of the Braly-Janss Company. The Smiths have been extensive travelers for a number of years, devoting their time to tours of Europe. Their first visit to Southern California brought about their conversion and they purchased a large walnut grove near Anaheim where they made their home for a year previous to their removal this winter to Brentwood Park. RAILROAD AND OTHER PROPERTY In 1870 the value of farm products in the United States was a little less than $2,000,000,000; forty years later, in 1910, nearly $9,000,000,000. In the same time the value of manufactured products grew from $4,000,000,000 to $20,000,000,000. The railroad mileage increased in the same period from 52,922 miles to 249,992 miles. In 1870 the average rate per ton-mile on the leading railroads in the country was 1.99 cents. Ten years later, in 1880, this rate was reduced to 1.17 cents. Another decade passed, and in 1890 the average on all the railroads of the country was .73 cents. Take the year 1911, with the freight carried one mile over 253,700,000,000 tons, and the reduction in cost from the rates in 1870 would amount to over $3,000,000,000 in the year. The freight rates in the United States are less than one-half of those in the other principal countries in the world. The railroads of the United States are carrying products 1,000 miles from the interior to the coast for less than roads in other countries are getting for carrying stuff 200 miles.

It takes a pound and a half of seed to an acre. When the peppers come up they are thinned until there is one every twenty inches in the row. Every two weeks the crop is irrigated and cultivated. The cultivator runs close, but not deep, and leaves the field level, to be ditched and watered soon afterward. Peppers require considerable water. About the middle of August cultivation ceases, and a cover crop of burr clover or vetch is sown between the rows, to be turned under for fertilizer, after the pepper crop is off. The green pepper crop is on from the middle of August to the 1st of December, and the red peppers ripen from November 1 to January 15. A little frost does not hurt peppers—in fact, it hastens maturity. A little fungus creeps in occasionally, but peppers may be said to be quite free from this. The average dryer is a frame structure with a basement full of hot air pipes like a furnace room. The furnaces are arranged in a pit outside. They burn No. 3 distillate. It takes from $8 to $12 worth of fuel to turn out a ton of dry peppers. Most dry houses are about 20x36 feet and 14 feet high. They can be built and equipped at from $400 to $800. The peppers are poured into wire netting bottomed trays 2x7 feet and 3 inches deep. The trays are stacked high upon each other in the house. The house will hold about 1,000 trays, and it takes from five to seven days to dry a batch. When dry as tinder, the peppers are taken into the open, where they are sorted. The poor quality stuff goes into a heap to be ground and sold for chicken feed and the good ones are taken to a board platform for toughening.

NAMES OF CALIFORNIA STREAMS California is certainly not particular about the names of its streams. According to the "Gazetteer of Surface Waters," issued by the United States Geological Survey, California lays claim to five Deadman's creeks, ten Dog creeks, two Humbug creeks, two Jackass creeks, five "Lost" streams, and two Mad rivers. Bear, Bear Canyon and Bear Trap are applied to 36 water bodies, and there are five Grizzly creeks. There are 15 Coyote water bodies, five Lion creeks, two Wildcat, one Cat, and two Gatos (cat, Spanish) creeks; one Skunk creek, nine Deer creeks, one Rabbit, two Quail, two Dog, and one Scorpion creek. There are also 10 Devil and two Diablo creeks, but the Saints, male and female (San and Santa), cover a dozen pages of the gazetteer. There is also a Poison creek and a dozen Snake and Rattlesnake creeks. The fish are represented in a page full of Eel rivers, several Fish creeks and Sardine creek.

GO, GOVERNMENT DECLARES DEPARTMENT WILL SPEND $800,000 IN EXPERIMENTS DURING YEAR 1915 RELENTLESS WAR BEING WAGED AGAINST DISEASE-CARRYING DESTRUCTIVE INSECTS Bugs, bugs that fly and bugs that burrow, bugs that bite and bugs that sting, bugs and tiny bugs, ladybugs, and bugs anything but lady-like are going to cost the Federal government $800,000 in real money during the fiscal year of 1915. That is the amount carried in the agricultural bill now before Congress. Dr. L. O. Howard, chief of the bureau of entomology and Uncle Sam's champion bug hunter, has pointed out, however, that these insects will cost the country fully one hundred times that amount in cotton destroyed; corn, and wheat and other grain crops injured; forests devastated; root crops ruined and fields laid almost bare. It is to stop such ravages as these that the bureau is maintained. That it saves many times its cost every year is easily demonstrated by statistics. The biggest bug from the standpoint of destructiveness is the boll weevil which is slowly but certainly retreating before the desperate attacks of government scientists. But the "sinners of war" provided by the appropriation bill are also wanted for campaigns against the gypsy moth that attacks tree foliage the horn worm COUNTY BANKERS MEET AT SANTA ANA Eygabroad Elected President and McCord Secretary Charles Eygabroad, F. C. Krause and G. H. Goodale, accompanied by their wives, attended the annual meeting of the Orange County Bankers' Association at Santa Ana Wednesday evening. In addition to the business session of the association a banquet was tendered the visitors at Elks' hall. The election of officers for the next year resulted in the selection of Chas. Eygabroad for president, H. T. Rutherford vice-president, A. B. McCord secretary, and J. R. Porter treasurer. Mr. Eygabroad is president of the Anaheim National Bank and Mr. McCord cashier of the German American Bank of this city. The next meeting of the association will be held in Anaheim in June. The association expects to have a business session every two months hereafter. MAY RECLAIM MOJAVE LANDS Delegate to Irrigation Congress Reports Progress For Work Good In an address before the chamber of commerce and Merchants' association at San Bernardino on Friday evening, John D. Reavis of Victor Valley, who is just back from the National Irrigation congress at Denver, declared the prospects were bright for the securing of government aid for the big reclamation project in the Mojave River Valley, on the north slope of the San Bernardino mountains, where thousands of acres can be reclaimed with water. Reavis declared the receipts from the sale of public lands in California, which money makes up the government reclamation fund, had been $5,000,000 since 1902, and that the government had spent in the state from injured; forests devastated; root crops ruined and fields laid almost bare. It is to stop such ravages as these that the bureau is maintained. That it saves many times its cost every year is easily demonstrated by statistics. The biggest bug from the standpoint of destructiveness is the boll weevil which is slowly but certainly retreating before the desperate attacks of government scientists. But the "sins of war" provided by the appropriation bill are also wanted for campaigns against the gypsy moth that attacks tree foliage, the horn worm that destroys tobacco plants, the cane insect that lays low cane fields, the alfalfa weevil that attacks that crop, the cinch bug that sucks the life from wheat and corn stalks, the codling moth that spoils tree fruits, the pine beetle and the bark beetle. The latter insect is a serious menace to the national and private forests because it destroys millions of feet of standing timber. The cotton red spider also has been condemned as a public enemy, and two new menaces that have slipped past the immigration authorities are the Argentine ant which ruins growing tobacco and the Australian potato-tuber month. This latter pest lays its eggs in young potatoes with the result that when the farmer digs them he finds a large caterpillar inside each tuber eating 16 meals a day. And finally there is a lot to be done in the way of reducing the number of house files and stable files which carry diseases more to be feared than crop failures. "We have undertaken an extensive study of the house fly," said Dr. Howard on this point. "In the small farm and village 99 per cent of the house files are bred in stable refuse and we have been co-operating with the bureau of chemistry to find some substance that will kill the fly larvae and not impair the fertilizing value of the refuse. We have found recently that there are one or two such substances which may be used at an economical rate. I think we are on the verge of a very practical discovery which will be of great value in the way of reducing the house fly pest." "We have several lines of work now going on in regard to the effect of insects upon the health of man and animals. We wish in the first place to complete the records of longevity of the cattle ticks. Then, as to stable files, this insect has been shown to be instrumental in the carriage of infantile paralysis. We also expect to undertake a series of malarial fever studies and the bionomics of malarial mosquitos, in order to provide remedies for the requirements of plantations, especially in the Mississippi delta where malaria is so rife, the idea being to find out what species of mosquito carry malaria in those districts, exactly how they breed, what can be done in the way of protecting people from their bites, and what can be done to destroy the mosquitoes in their breeding places. The alfalfa weevil is a serious problem in Utah and has spread to Wyoming and other neighboring states. As is always done in a case of this kind, the bureau of entomology has scoured the world for parasites to attack the new VICTOR VALLEY TO GET WATER That a government survey of the reclamation possibilities of Victor Valley will be completed within the next nine months and that before the end of five years water will be flowing in government canals to every part of that great section was the prediction made by John D. Reavis in a report to the Victor Valley Reclamation Club in Los Angeles on Friday. Mr. Reavis is a delegate to the recent national irrigation conference at Denver as representative of Victor Valley, and the special meeting in Los Angeles was called to hear his report. "We put it squarely up to Chairman Newell of the reclamation service bureau and to Assistant Secretary of the Interior Jones that Victor Valley demanded government recognition," declared Mr. Reavis. "We encountered the one thing that has so far made the reclamation work more or less of a farce—the spirit of evasion and indecision; but before we had finished, after keeping these two men behind locked doors until late into the night, we had secured their promise that individually and together they would recommend strongly to the secretary of the interior that the Mojave River watershed be surveyed with the idea of impounding the immense amount of waste water." On Saturday hundreds of members of the Victor Valley chamber of commerce met at Victorville and heard a supplementary report made by Mr. Reavis and elected officers for the year. These officers will be installed at a big celebration arranged for May 9, when special trains will be run from Los Angeles to Victorville and a big barbecue served. MORE TROUBLE FOR BIRCH Two new suits have been added to the nine already brought against A. Otis Birch, owner of the greatest oil well on earth, by former stockholders of the Menges Oil Company, who declare that they were duped into selling their stock to Birch. The judgments asked in the 11 suits total $1,393,800. The plaintiffs in the actions are H. C. Dawes, who asks $68,400, and Mrs. H. C. Dawes, who petitions the court for judgment of $168,000. The complaint in each of the 11 cases tells the same story. Birch had control of a majority of the stock of the Menges Oil Company. Just before John D. Reavis of Victor Valley, who is just back from the National Irrigation congress at Denver, declared the prospects were bright for the securing of government aid for the big reclamation project in the Mojave River Valley, on the north slope of the San Bernardino mountains, where thousands of acres can be reclaimed with water. Reavis declared the receipts from the sale of public lands in California, which money makes up the government reclamation fund, had been $5,000,000 since 1902, and that the government had spent in the state from that money only $528,000. Nevada contributed only $520,000, but received in reclamation projects $6,220,000. Reavis said California had been discriminated against by the government. OPENINGS FOR CIVIL ENGINEERS The California State Civil Service Commission announces another examination for civil engineers, to be held in Sacramento, San Francisco and Los Angeles on June 5-6, 1914. The candidates who were successful in the examination given in January of this year have all been appointed to positions under the state, and more men are needed." The State Highway Commission employs a large number of civil engineers, and the experience gained under this and other departments of the state is very valuable. The entrance salaries range from $1,200 to $1,800 per year. All citizens of the state, 21 years of age or over, who comply with requirements, are eligible for this examination, which will consist of questions in mathematics, surveying and civil engineering, and will give credit to those applicants who have had engineering experience. Application blanks and further information may be secured from the State Civil Service Commission, State Capitol, Sacramento. Completed applications must be filed with the commission on or before June 1., 1914. NEW SECRETARY AT WORK E. M. Brown, who came from Baker, Ore., is now in charge of the County Y. M. C. A. as secretary, succeeding R. J. Hamilton, who has gone to Whittier to enter the second field of community type of Y. M. C. A. work. Mr. Brown is a native of the state of Iowa, whence have come such great leaders as Fred S. Smith and John R. Mott. He is a graduate of Morningside College and when attending this school was active in all phases of college life, being her star debater, and in athletics his ability was above the average in that one season he held the championship for the low hurdles in six states. He believes in a uniform development and was active in the work of the Y. M. C. A. throughout his college career. For two seasons he was a college secretary in Oregon, where his wife served as Y. W. C. A. secretary. Later he became assistant Christian work director of the Portland association.From there he went to Baker quitos, in order to provide remedies for the requirements of plantations, especially in the Mississippi delta where malaria is so rife, the idea being to find out what species of mosquito carry malaria in those districts, exactly how they breed, what can be done in the way of protecting people from their bites, and what can be done to destroy the mosquitos in their breeding places. The alfalfa weevil is a serious problem in Utah and has spread to Wyoming and other neighboring states. As is always done in a case of this kind, the bureau of entomology has scoured the world for parasites to attack the new enemy. Two such have been imported, one from Italy and another from Southern France. The alfalfa weevil fortunately cannot fly, but it gets into freight cars along the track, into bales of hay for shipment and seems to know by instinct how to secure free transportation. The boll weevil, which is capable of extended flights, is much more difficult to deal with. Much has been done to control it by burning cotton stalks after the crop has been picked and by introducing parasites. Dr. W. D. Hunter, in charge of southern field crop insect investigations for the bureau, says that records extending back 50 years in some instances show that the boll weevil never voluntarily leaves a territory it once invades. "We have found that the weevil has already acquired a considerable number of parasites in this country," said Dr. Hunter, in telling of the war on the cotton pest. "That is there are parasitic enemies of related weevils which have transferred their attacks from their original hosts to the boll weevil when it came into new territory." The introduction of parasites has been particularly successful in the war against the gypsy moth, and Dr. Howard estimates that last year 50 percent of the moths in New England were killed off by parasites imported from Europe and Japan. The present invested areas are the whole of Massachusetts as far west as the Connecticut river, the southern half of New Hampshire, the southern border of Maine running half way up the sea coast, and one or two colonies in Vermont. There are isolated colonies in the Berkshires, two in Connecticut near Stonington and Hartford and one in Rhode Island. Two new suits have been added to the nine already brought against A. Otis Birch, owner of the greatest oil well on earth, by former stockholders of the Menges Oil Company, who declare that they were duped into selling their stock to Birch. The judgments asked in the 11 suits total $1,393,800. The plaintiffs in the actions are H. C. Dawes, who asks $68,400, and Mrs. H. C. Dawes, who petitions the court for judgment of $168,000. The complaint in each of the 11 cases tells the same story. Birch had control of a majority of the stock of the Menges Oil Company. Just before the rgeat Brea well, which produces $3,750 worth of oil and gas per day, was brought in, Birch persuaded the minority stockholders to sell their stock for $2 a share. It is alleged that when persuading the stockholders to sell, Birch knew of the prospects for a big well, but withheld the information from the stockholders, whom he represented as president and general manager of the company. FOREST NOTES China imports wood pulp from Great Britain, Sweden, Norway, and Germany. The highest mountain in Montana, Granite Peak, with an altitude of nearly 13,000 feet, is in the Beartooth national forest. Norway has 144 tree planting societies. The first was founded in 1900, and since then 26 million trees have been planted, more than 2 million having been set out last year. In many parts of the west snow is leaving the mountains earlier than usual. Foresters say that this may mean a bad fire season, and they are making plans for a hard campaign. New Jersey is said to have the greatest proportion of railroad mileage of any state in the country, or one mile of railroad to every three square miles of territory. This makes an unusual risk of forest fires set by railroads. The heavy storms in Southern California during the past rainy season wiped out many miles of trails in the national forests of that part of the state. They are now being rebuilt for the coming summer, for use in fire protection. They are also of great use to tourists, campers, and prospectors. College and when attending this school was active in all phases of college life, being her star debater, and in athletics his ability was above the average in that one season he held the championship for the low hurdles in six states. He believes in a uniform development and was active in the work of the Y. M. C. A. throughout his college career. For two seasons he was a college secretary in Oregon, where his wife served as Y. W. C. A. secretary. Later he became assistant Christian work director of the Portland association. From there he went to Baker, Oregon, where he served as a general secretary of the city association, and from there he comes to this county. In addition to these two splendid association workers, Mr. and Mrs. Brown have a worthy assistant in their 2-year-old son, Bob. The immediate tasks to which the new secretary will apply himself are the big County Triangle meet at Santa Ana, April 29; County Convention at Orange, May 15, and the financial campaign of one day to follow enlisting as many volunteer solicitors as are needed to secure the pledge for the new year's budget. In his labors he is being assisted by E. J. Ruenitz, the Group Secretary for Southern California. INSPECTED RIVER H. Clay Kellogg, the eminent civil engineer, has returned from Lompoc, Santa Barbara county, where he was called last week to come and look over the Santa Ynez River, with a view of devising some means whereby it could be controlled in high water times. It flooded a large area in February of the present year, and the people of that locality do not want a repetition of such conditions if they can by any possibility be prevented. Mr. Kellogg went to Lompoc Sunday night, and returned to be present at the Knights Templar reception. He has made no detailed report as yet, but will soon forward his findings to the people who employed him. He thinks, however, that it will not be a very difficult matter to keep the river within bounds, if the people go about the work in the proper manner.
