AGRICULTURAL USE OF LIME ESSENTIAL NEEDED AS FERTILIZER BY ALL CLASSES OF VEGETATION, IS DECLARED DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE GIVES SOME INTERESTING AND VALUABLE FACTS ON SUBJECT The use of lime as a fertilizer dates from the inception of modern scientific farming. Agricultural chemists have shown that there are five or six different functions which lime may perform to benefit a soil, which may be summarized briefly as follows: 1. It is an essential element of plant food. 2. It aids in the conversion of decaying organic matter into humus. 3. It forms compounds with the humic acids which tend to prevent their being leached out of the soil and loaf. 4. By producing proper sanitary conditions the growth of injurious bacteria is largely prevented, while the growth of nitrifying bacteria is encouraged. These nitrifying bacteria convert the nitrogen of the humus into such a form that it is available as a plant food. 5. Lime aids in the liberation of potash and phosphorus from inert compounds. 6. It tends to flocculate clay soils, rendering them granular and more porous. Obviously, permanent results cannot be expected unless care is taken to insure the presence of some organic fertilizer at all times. Lime used alone may be temporarily beneficial but will eventually be harmful; when used with cowpea vines it becomes more efficient for general purposes than almost any other fertilizer. Of course, lime is not beneficial to all production of the state was less than 2,000,000 pounds, but in 1913 it exceeded 90,000,000 pounds. In sympathy with the general tendency in the decreased production of gold, the output of gold in Nevada decreased from 650,943 fine ounces, valued at $13,456,180, in 1912 to 570,589 fine ounces, valued at $11,795,130, in 1913. More than 60 per cent of the gold produced in Nevada in 1913 and 1913 came from the Goldfield and Tonopah districts. The production of silver increased from 14,369,063 fine ounces, valued at $8,836,974, in 1912 to 16,090,083 fine ounces valued at $9,718,410, in 1913. About 70 per cent of these liver output is derived from the Tonopah district. To what extent the Comstock lode in Churchill County has fallen from its high estate in the production of silver is indicated by the fact that in 1876, when this famous district was at zenith, the output was over 17,000,000 ounces of silver, and in 1913 he total production from Churchill county was less than 1,500,000 ounces. The total value of the mineral products of Nevada in 1913 amounted to $37,842,084 against $39,111,828 in 1912. PRODUCER TO CONSUMER The parcel post service between the producers in the rural communities and the consumers in the cities has been declared to be a great success by the post office department, and its rapid extension, until it shall embrace all of the most important urban councils of the country has been decided upon. Emphasis is given the growing importance of this service by the recent announcement that several cities have been added to the list of 12 originally set apart to receive the service. Ten of these cities were designated for the first experiments last March, and two others were added in July. "Complete reports from the ten cities first chosen have been received," said an official of the department,"and the postmaster-general regards them as encouraging in the highest degree. I tie the belief of the postal authorities that the service has proved successful that its future is assured, and that gradual stops should now be taken for its expansion all through the country." The ten cities set aside experiment- Obviously, permanent results cannot be expected unless care is taken to insure the presence of some organic fertilizer at all times. Lime used alone may be temporarily beneficial but will eventually be harmful; when used with cowpea vines it becomes more efficient for general purposes than almost any other fertilizer. Of course, lime is not beneficial to all crops to the same extent, and not all soils need lime. Thus, some of the common plants which are stated by the Department of Agriculture to be consited by lime, are spinach, lettuce, beet, celery, onion, cucumber, cantaloupe, asparagus, cabbage, peanut, rhubarb, pea, pumpkin, bean, tobacco, alfalfa, clover, barley, wheat, oats, timothy, goosebeer, currant, orange, quince, and cherry. Indian corn is only slightly benefited. Plants which are said to be slightly injured by lime are cotton, tomato, cowpea, concord grape, peach, apple, and pear, and those really injured are radish, fjax, blackberry, black raspberry and cranberry. Whether a soil will respond to liming or not depends on the amount of available calcium oxide which it already contains. Probably the best indication of the need of the lime is the failure to obtain a good crop of clover. The question whether lime should be applied to the soil as quicklime, hydrated lime, air-slacked lime, or ground limestone is still the subject of a great deal of controversy. The advocates of ground limestone claim that the causal properties of quick or hydrated lime will burn up and destroy the organic matter in the soil whereas limestone can be applied in large quantities at long intervals and will therefore produce a more or less permanent fertility. The advocates of lime claim that one of the main features which lime has to perform is the destruction of the organic matter and the liberation of the nitrogen in such a form that the plant can use it; that the frequent and judicious use of lime, together with some organic fertilizer, will bring immediate results. Of course the local conditions of each particular case must be considered before a final conclusion can be reached. Thus, it is rational to use quicklime on soils which are exceedingly rich in organic matter, such as peat or swampy soils. Limestone is safer than quicklime when applied just before planting a crop which is little helped by liming, or when applied to a light sandy soil in hot dry weather. INSTALLING GREAT PUMPS Four giant pumps, each weighing 110 tons are being installed on the pipe line of the Producers Transportation company. The fly wheel of each pump POSTAL SAVINGS The war in Europe is proving a big boon to postal savings in this country. From the very day hostilities opened across the seas postal receipts began to increase by leaps and bounds and withdrawals fell off, a result quite contrary to the predictions of many well-informed persons, who, in their imagination saw lines of feverish depositors at the post office pay windows anxious to again return their savings to the boot leg and body belt depositories whence they came before intrusted to Uncle Sam. But the forecasters failed to reckon on the absolute confidence of the American citizen, regardless of the flag that first met his eyes, in the ability and purpose of the government to carry out its obligations, not only among the nations of the earth but with the unm垦 citizen of our land. Two important results have followed: thousands of people, largely of foreign birth, accustomed to send their savings abroad, are now patrons of our postal savings system; and enormous sums of actual cash have been released for commercial uses among our own people at a time when the need for every available dollar is most pressing. The growth of postal savings in the United States has been steady and healthy, and the system has filled an important gap between the tin-can repository and the factory paymaster.

The fly wheel of each pump weighs 12 tons. The pumps were manufactured in Buffalo, N.Y., and shipped here via the Panama Canal. They are located at Junction, 30 miles west of McKittrick; at Shandon, at Creston and at Antelope. The distance from Maricopa to Avila is approximately 140 miles. Within the past year the Producers' Transportation Company has laid a second line from its Olig station, two and one half miles north of McKittrick, to Junction, where it connects with the main line from the Coalinga oil field. From Junction the line extends over the Coast Range and across the plains to the waters of the Pacific. NEVADA'S MINERALS Nevada is essentially a metal-producing state, metallic products constituting more than 98 per cent of the total value of the state's mineral output, according to the United States Geological Survey. Though Nevada is at present of much less relative importance as a mining state than it was in the "glory" days of the famous Comstock lode, it continues to rank first in the production of silver, which is third among the mineral products of the state. The most important mineral product of Nevada is copper, in the production of which Nevada ranks fifth among the states. Gold mining ranks second among the state's mineral industries. The production of copper increased from 86,477,494 pounds in 1912 to 90,693,751 pounds in 1913, but with a decline in value from $14,268,787 to $14,057,531. Copper mining is one of the new industries of the state. It did not begin on an important scale until 1908 with the development of the Ely district in White Pine county. In 1907, prior to the development of the Ely district, the copper growth of postal savings in the United States has been steady and healthy, and the system has filled an important gap between the tin-can repository and the factory paymaster. On July 1, when affairs were running smoothly here and abroad and the transmission of money across the Atlantic was safe and expeditious, there was approximately $43,000,000 of postal savings standing to the credit of about 388,000 depositors. Since then over $10,000,000 of deposits have been added and the number of depositors has increased enormously. This unprecedented gain is the more striking when it is considered that the net gain in the last three months is considerably larger than the gain for the entire fiscal year of 1914. Scores of offices have done more postal savings business since the war has been going on than was done by them during the previous existence of the service. The increases are confined to no special localities, but have been felt in every nook and corner of the country. New York city alone made a gain in September of more than a million, while Brooklyn showed a relatively large increase. Chicago reported a larger gain in the past three months than for the previous twelve months. More than 7,000 new accounts were opened-during the period, bringing the number of depositors in that city up to more than 21,000. The unexpected increase in postal savings business has not only added greatly to the general administrative duties of the system but has brought up many new and interesting problems which have called for the careful personal consideration of Postmaster-General Budleson and Governor Dockery, third assistant postmaster general. But their task has been lightened somewhat by the promptness of deposit banks in furnishing additional security to meet the abnormal deposits. A number of the very largest banks in the country, which have hitherto declined to qualify as depositories for postal savings funds, are now among the eager applicants for them.

High in Jail Awaiting Trial Gonzalo Guileterras wanted to go to Mexico. He belloved that the quickest and most simple way to go about it was to "adopt" a horse and buggy, sell it and with the proceeds of the sale, proceed to Mexico. His plan worked well—for awhile. He "adopted" a horse and buggy from W. E. High, who lives about two miles west of Anaheim. Next, he drove his "adaptation" to Oxnard. There, however, the fates seemed to be working against him. Guileterras had found a customer for the horse and buggy. He had the deal almost completed. The sale price was to have been $43.50. Guileterras had the money safe in his jeans. He had, in fact, begun to write his name at the bottom of a bill of sale. Laboriously he had traced out the letter G and had the first letter of his last name just about completed when City Marshal Kennedy of Oxnard arrived on the scene and cold-bloodedly shattered Guileterras' dream of getting to Mexico. Guileterras was taken to Santa Ana and his preliminary hearing was held in Justice Cox's court Thursday morning. At the hearing Guileterras admitted everything in connection with his escapade. Deputy District Attorney Koepsel appeared for the plaintiff and Albert Trujillo of San Bernardina for the detendant. Guileterras was held to answer to the Superior Court. His ball was fixed at $1000, which he failed to produce. CHRISTMAS GIFT VESSEL SAILS Carries Toys, Dolls, Clothing and Food For Children of Europe Saturday with more than 1200 tons of Christmas gifts from the people of America, the naval collier Jason, a Santa Claus ship, sailed for Europe. A message of Godspeed from President Wilson was received by Lieutenant-Commander C.F. Courtney, U.S., shortly before sailing time. The sailors were black. Police Judges Busy. Alfonso Keroga was relieved of a large and vicious looking butcher knife and $30 in hard cash Thursday morning when he appeared at Orange to answer a charge of disturbing the peace. Constable Jackson brought Keroga in from El Modena last night. The Mexican, it is said was threatening to whittle up the town. The usual grist of traffic violators were on hand that morning. R. Woodward, who had driven his auto without lights, had deposited ball in the Anaheim court. S.G. Morningstar, who rode his motorcycle with muffler open, failed to appear. The following fines were, however collected: Lee Hale, bicycle, no lights; $2; John Buchelm, bicycle, no lights, forfeited $2 ball; E.D.Carter, bicycle, no light, forfeited $2 ball; Everett Cone, bicycle, no light, reprimand (was under age); G.H.Cooyo, Los Angeles, auto speeding $10; J.S.labell, bicycle, no light; J.John Spoon, Los Angeles, motorcycle speeding $5; E.K.French, auto, no number; $6; A.H.Sherwood, auto, no light; $3; C. Chamberlain, auto, no light; $3. Liquor in Fullerton. Harry Hoyt who runs a lunch room on South Spadra, Fullerton, was arrested Wednesday by Marshal French on a warrant charging him with disturbing the peace. He was taken before Police Judge Kenney, Thursday morning and he pleaded guilty. He was fined. As soon as this case was disposed of, he was arrested again on another warrant charging him with giving liquor away. He pleaded guilty of this charge also and was fined $100. Both fines were paid. New School at Westminster. Monday morning the work of building the new grade school at Westminster was started by Contractor A.M.Boyd of Santa Ana. The contract was signed Thursday evening, the price being $13,800. The building according to the terms of the contract, is to be completed in 90 days' time. Plans for the school, which will be located across from the Southern Pacific depot at Westminster and will have the proposed county boulevard to Long Beach, have been ready for some time. The school is to be in the Italian Lombardo style of architecture. The exterior walls will be faced with Echos of Hallowe'en. Westminster is still having difficulties that had their start in Hallowe'en pranks. Several boys were arrested on charges of overdoing and overturning things Hallowe'en. That started more trouble, and Guy Mansperger swore to two complaints charging Clara Hagen, who was complainant against the boys, with selling liquor. Wednesday Mrs. Hagen pleaded guilty to two charges, and on each she paid a fine of $50. It seems that the liquor was sold in a quart jar, and the best that Justice Cox could get out if it was that when it was sold the purchaser had said something was needed to soothe the baby, who was sick. And that was not all. A warrant was issued for the arrest of John Donetius, a tobacco dealer of Westminster, on a charge of selling tobacco to Lawrence Mansperger, aged 6 years. Donetius employed W.W.Davis to defend him. A jury trial was asked and was set for November 19. Sues for Damages. Manson Rouse, aged 17, son of Mrs.Sarah Rouse of 2040 North Broadway,Santa Ana, is plaintiff in an action brought here against C.H.Adams.Rouse asks for $5120 on the ground that Adams was responsible for injuries received by Rouse on June 3.The complaint filed by Attorney M.A.Cain states that young Rouse is riding north on Broadway about ten feet from the east curb, on the right side of the street, when Adams came around the corner of Santa Clara avenue from the east.It is stated that he cut the corner so closely that he was not over two feet from the curb,and that Rouse had no chance to avoid the collision.Rouse states that his left knee was crushed and broken,his neck cut and his body badly bruised. For Contempt of Court. CHRISTMAS GIFT VESSEL SAILS Carriés Toys, Dolls, Clothing and Food For Children of Europe Saturday with more than 1200 tons of Christmas gifts from the people of America, the naval collier Jason, a Santa Claus ship, sailed for Europe. A message of Godspeed from President Wilson was received by Lieutenant-Commander C.F. Courtney, U.S.N., shortly before sailing time. The docks as the ship sailed were black with thousands of school children. The gifts the ship carried were gathered from every state in the Union. They included everything from toys and dolls to clothing and food. So heavy was the rain of presents that a force of ninety soldiers and sixty sailors from the navy yard was required to classify and repack them so that an equal distribution might be made in the several countries for which they were intended. The cargo contained the following items: Fourteen carloads of children's clothing, five carloads of women's clothing, one carload of men's clothing, five carloads of toys and 57 carloads of miscellaneous presents, foodstuffs, boots, shoes, etc.; a total of 82 carloads. The ship will call first at Falmouth, where-the gifts intended for England, France and Belgium will be discharged; then she will proceed to Rotterdam, where gifts for Holland and Germany will be discharged. At a later date another consignment will go forward for the people of Russia and Poland. VACANCIES FOR CYLINDER PRESSMEN Cylinder pressmen who would like to work in the state printing plant at Sacramento, should write to the state civil service commission, state capitol, Sacramento, for application blanks for the examination to be held December 12, 1914. Extra help will be needed during the approaching session of the Legislature, and applicants who pass the examination will be eligible for appointment to vacancies whenever such occur. Application blanks and further information may be secured from the state civil service commission, state capitol, Sacramento. Applications must be properly executed and filed with the commission on or before December 12, 1914, in order to be considered for this examination. FOREST NOTES Although there were an unusual number of forest fires on the national forest of Oregon and Washington this year, the loss of merchantable timber has been relatively small. The propellers of aeroplanes such as are used in the present European fleet morning the work of building the new grade school at Westminster was started by Contractor A. M. Boyd of Santa Anna. The contract was signed Thursday evening, the price being $13,806. The building, according to the terms of the contract, is to be completed in 90 days' time. Plans for the school, which will be located across from the Southern Pacific depot at Westminster and will take the proposed county boulevard to Long Beach, have been ready for some time. The school is to be in the Italian Lombardio style of architecture. The exterior walls will be faced with red-ruffled brick with break joints laid in coursed mortar. There will also be laths of white stucco. Embodied in the design for the new school are a number of entirely new and modern school features, which will make the building one of the most attractive and comfortable in Orange county. Won't Organize. At this time it looks as though there would be no chile pepper growers' association organized at Garden Grove this year. There seems to be a difference of opinion among the growers as to the advisability of pushing the proposed plans now. One reason is that many have contracts covering this year's crop and it would be difficult for these men to go into an organization under these conditions. Others believe, evidently in having an organization as some future time, but do not like all the details of the plan now in the minds of some. Some of the larger growers do not see the situation as some of the smaller growers. It seems to be satisfactory to all to wait until conditions are more favorable before further consideration of the plan. Will Raise Chills. The farming district around Huntington Beach has added another sta Monday morning the work of building the new grade school at Westminster was started by Contractor A. M. Boyd of Santa Anna.

For Contempt of Court. Claude Short of Los Angeles was sentenced to five hours in jail and to pay a fine of $10 for contempt of court. He was summoned as a witness in the trial of Frank D. Mitchell of Los Angeles, charged with stealing an automobile from Hugh Plumb of Tustin. Short's testimony concerned a conversation that he had with Mitchell. Short failed to appear in court Thursday, and a bench warrant was issued for him. When brought to court Thursday he said that he had not obeyed the order because he was busy and he had been told by a friend that he did not have to go unless he wanted to, as Santa Ana is not in the same county as Los Angeles. Judge West showed Short that the law gives him no such discretion. Short's attitude during the examination indicated that he was an unwilling witness. Placentia's Cannery. Possibly the only cannery in operation in the Southland today, with a payroll of nearly fifty persons, the value of the Placentia Preserving company is now being somewhat realized. A 40-h. p. boiler was installed the past week to handle the output of the plant and it will probably be necessary to enlarge the plant shortly.
