THROWS MARKET OPEN TO THE FOREIGNER FREE TRADE TAKING MILLION A MONTH AWAY FROM THE AMERICAN FARMER FOREIGN GROWERS WILL WAX FATTER WHILE OUR OWN WILL GROW LEAN In the ten months ended April, 1914, the value of foreign foodstuffs imported into the United States increased $10,000,000, or $1,000,000 a month. This money, which should have gone to the American farmer, went to foreign farmers. In the same period the exports of American foodstuffs decreased $64,416,000, or 6,400,000 a month. The adverse balance against the American farmer, so far as dealings with the outside world is concerned, is $4,500,000 in ten months. During the ten months ended April, 1914, there were imported 20,058,998 bushels of oats, as against 714,767 bushels imported during the same period ended April, 1913. Comparing the same periods there were imported 1,854,054 bushels of wheat against 769,329; other breadstuffs, $2,602,952; against $1,362,630; fruits, $26,155,168; against $21,635,382; nuts, $722,217; against $636,290; butter, $1,633,515; against $263,513; cheese, $9,302,438; against $7,683,399; olive oil, $6,444,247; against $5,815,810; prepared vegetables, $3,015,645; against $2,772,100; fresh vegetables, $1,468,396; against $1,308,821. The importation of eggs dur... These are staples produced by American farms, orchards and gardens. The new Tariff reduces the duty upon these articles and opens the market to foreign farmers. The foreigner has seized this opportunity and is now making $1,000,000 a month which formerly went to the American farmer. The consumer gets no benefit from this Tariff reduction. The price has not gone down on a single article mentioned. The high Tariff formerly kept the foreigner out and gave this business to the American farmer. The new Tariff throws the business to the foreign farmer, who, with the middleman, pockets the benefit, and the consumer pays as much as he did before. The only loser is the American farmer. This loss of $1,000,000 a month covers only ten months of the new Tariff. It is natural that the loss should be greater as soon as foreign farmers awaken to the splendid opportunity offered by the American market. The more they take advantage of this opportunity the more the American farmer will lose. The only way to prevent this loss to the American farmer is to put the bars up again, and shut out the foreigner. The experiment has been in effect long enough to show that it does not decrease the cost of living. Maybe this item of $1,000,000 a month loss through the low Tariff will be borne in mind by the American farmer when we vote next November for Congressmen who frame Tariff bills. EIGHT-HOUR LAW Union labor is coming to the support of the California in their fight against the proposed universal eight-hour law. The Farmers' and Fruit Growers' federation, in charge of the campaign being conducted against the proposed law, announced that the Order of Rail-Orange County's Five Plants All Busy Slicing Beets The Anaheim sugar factory opened its campaign the first of the week and is running 24 hours a day. The Southern California Sugar Company, one of the two big factories south of Santa Ana, delayed the opening of its campaign until tonight. The Santa Ana Co-operative has been in operation ten days, and has found that the beets are testing well for this time of year. The yield per acre is heavy. Rains came right in the spring, and the early summer has been cool, yet warm enough for growing. It has not been as sunshine the last two weeks as the factory men would like. It takes sunshine to put sugar into a sugar beet. However, since the campaigns will last until Thanksgiving, in some of the factories, and the opening up of warmer weather, the sugar beets are going to give an average test of percentage of sweetness that will be pleasing to the growers, who get 30 cents per ton for each additional 1 per cent above 15 per cent. While the weather has been a little too cool for the 35,000 acres of sugar beets in the county, it has been ideal for lima beans. The bean crop is going to be record-breaking. Even the first setting pods are well filled out, and that in itself is unusual. The vines are as full of pods as they can set, and fogs and dows at night with sunshine in the day have filled out all of the pods in good shape. The manace of the bean grower is a scoring hot day. This summer there has been no such a day to stop the development of the pods or to shrivel the vines. In the county are 25,000 acres of limas and black-eyes. A bean crop here never looked better. FISHING IS GOOD For those who want to catch fish and don't care what kind they are so they are fish, the accommodating kingfish have returned. It is a poor angler who cannot land a good sized string of these silvery specimens in an hour's time from the Southern Pacific wharf, but as they bite so readily and have but little pull in them, they are held cheaply by the regulars. As a pan fish the kingfish is not to be despised and large quantities of them are smoked here each fall. Mackerel are here to stay this summer and can be had early each morn- EIGHT-HOUR LAW Union labor is coming to the support of the California in their fight against the proposed universal eight-hour law. The Farmers' and Fruit Growers' federation, in charge of the campaign being conducted against the proposed law, announced that the Order of Railway Conductors, California state legislative board, are opposed to it as being detrimental not only to railway men, but also to a large majority of laboring men. A statement by the federation says: "That the farmers of California will have the support of a great proportion of labor is evidenced by the action of railway men who have gone on record as opposed to the Socialists' universal eight-hour law. Many labor men urge that inasmuch as all crafts, as well as women, already are under the eight-hour rule in California and there is no hardship in working conditions in this state, they should not as voters inflict this tremendous injury upon farmers who are compelled to harvest their ripe and perishable crops regardless of any flexible time schedule." BUILDING A TOWN One of the largest land deals closed recently is the 550-acre tract purchased by the Melrose Mesa Association. This association has been incorporated under the Religious Corporation Act for the purpose of financially assisting the Board of Christian Education of the Episcopal Diocese of Los Angeles in its religious work. Its affairs are managed by a board of directors, consisting of prominent churchmen in the diocese. The plan is to place on the market approximately 150 acres subdivided Mackerel are here to stay this summer and can be had early each morning. Several halibut fishermen have been down from Huntington Beach, saying that fish were to be had there, but that no one was allowed to fish for live bait and that the rights of fishermen were curtailed from the new pier that there was no satisfaction in fishing from that structure. If this is true, it would seem that the city trustees of Huntington Beach are pursuing a short-sighted policy, as the freedom allowed fishermen on the Southern Pacific wharf and Balboa pier has always been an inducement for them to return to this city. The abundance of phosphorescence in the water lately has not been conducive to good surf fishing, but in spite of this, some good catches have been made from the beach at East Newport and from the Balboa pier. Albicore have been running in great numbers outside and one can get enough fishing to do for some time by going out in one of the launches that carry parties daily from the wharf. Yellowfin tuna have made their appearance a month earlier than usual this year.

FIRST EXHIBIT AT PANAMA EXPOSITION Three-Pound Potatoes Sent From Orange County to the Fairs Orange county takes the lead in being the first county of Southern California to send an exhibit to the Panama-Pacific exposition, the exhibit consisting of 500 pounds of potatoes grown KILLED BY AUTO, DRIVER PASSES ON Lacy Harrison of Brea, Killed by Unknown Motorist As Lacy Harrison, a well known young employee of the Union Oil Company, was on the road near Brea Wednesday at about 5 P.M. he was run over by a passing automobile and sustained fatal injuries. The owner of the auto did not stop the machine, nodoubt thinking he had killed Lacy and that it was best for him to escape. Mr. Harrison was left in the road face down with his skull crushed. A little girl saw the accident, neighbors were notified and did what they could for the injured man who was brought to the Fulletron hospital where he underwent an operation last night and died the following morning. The physicians did everything possible to save the young man but the auto driver had got in his deadly work and there was no chance for Lacy to recover.

MARKS Candidate for DISTRICT ATTORNEY Subject to the decision of the voters at the primary election Aug. 25, 1914. teresting, however, is the increase shown in the quantity of the dairy products. In 1909 these amounted to 114.815 pounds, in 1911 to 273,028 pounds, an increase of practically 140 per cent in two years. In the same time shipments of wheat had increased 59 per cent, tobacco 31 per cent, and lumber and other forest products 48 per cent. In addition to this increase in quantity the cost of hauling each ton of produce was materially reduced. In other words, the farmers not only produce more but produce more cheaply, for the cost of transportation to market is of course an important factor in the cost of production. From this point of view it is estimated that the $100,000 spent in improving the roads in one county saved the farmers of that county $41.000 a year. In the past two years the traffic studies of the federal experts show that approximately an average of 65.000 tons of outgoing products were hauled over the improved roads in the county an average distance of eight miles, or a total of 520,000 "ton-miles." Before the roads were improved it was estimated that the average cost of hauling was 20 cents a "ton-mile;" after the improvement this fell to 12 cents a "ton-mille," or a saving of 8 cents. A saving of 8 cents per mile on 520,000 "ton-miles" is $41,000 a year. The county's investment of $100,000 in other words returns a dividend of 40 per cent annually. Because this saving, in cases of this character, does not take the form of cash put directly into the farmer's ORANGE COUNTY takes the lead in being the first county of Southern California to send an exhibit to the Panama-Pacific exposition, the exhibit consisting of 500 pounds of potatoes grown by H. Larter near Huntington Beach, who contributed the potatoes to Orange County for exhibition purposes. Norman F. Juers, representing the Southern California Panama Expositions commission, and D. W. McDonald of Orange county chamber of commerce, brought the exhibit from the ranch at Santa Ana where they were re-packed to be sent to San Diego and then later to San Francisco. These potatoes were grown on peat land between corn rows. The corn measures from 10 to 15 feet in height, yet the yield of potatoes is about 250 sacks to the acre. The largest potato of the exhibit weighs three pounds and two ounces and many others weigh two and one-half pounds. There were three varieties: Gold Coin, White Rose and Early Harvest King. ST.

Mr. Harrison was left in the road face down with his skull crushed.

The physicians did everything possible to save the young man but the auto driver had got in his deadly work and there was no chance for Lacy to recover. The officers are trying to locate the auto driver, but as they have no description of the machine or driver they have absolutely no clue to work on. Harrison was married and came from Prairie Grove, Ark., where the body was shipped for burial. HOW GOOD ROADS HELP THE FARMER $41,000 Per Year Saved In One County Alone That an improved road will increase vastly the productiveness of the area through which it runs now been satisfactorily demonstrated by studies conducted by the United States Department of Agriculture in Virginia. Conditions in Spotsylvania county were investigated with particular care and the results have proved surprising. In 1909 the county voted $100,000 to improve 40 miles of roads. Two years after the completion of this work the railroad took away in 12 months from Fredericksburg, the county seat, 71,000 tons of agricultural and forest products hauled over the highways to that town. Before the improvement of the roads this total was only 49,000 tons annually. In other words the quantity of the country's produce had risen more than 45 per cent. Still more in- In Dinwiddie county, Virginia, for example, where peanuts is one of the staple crops, the average load for two mules on a main road was about 1,000 pounds before the road was improved. After its improvement the average load was found to be 2,000 pounds and the time consumed in hauling the larger load to market was much reduced. In other words, one man with a wagon and two mules could do more than twice as much work with the improved road than with an unimproved road. This is the explanation of the extraordinary rise in the total output of agricultural products in a county with a good road system. Jose Garcia is in the hospital with a slash six inches long reaching from shoulder to the front of his neck. The cut was made by a razor in the hands of a Mexican known as Porfrio.
