SHOWING OF WALNUTS A PRINCIPAL FEATURE Southern California Display at the Panama Pacific Exposition a Credi-table One One of the principal features of the Southern California display section is the California section at the San Francisco fair is the showing of nuts. Very few states of the Union produce walnuts, unless it be the common black walnut, which is a wild variety. Consequently the walnuts shown by the seven Southern counties always excite the interest of the tourist. Among the largest commercial nuts shown in the feature is the Klondike of Bijou. This nut is very popular on the market and Southern California is a prolific producer of them. Among the other commercial varieties now on display are the Eureka, Neff's Prolific, Placentia Seedlings, Garden Grove Prolific, Placentia Perfection and Jumbo. Other varieties of nuts shown are almonds, chestnuts, peanuts and pecans, all of which are produced in practically every county although Orange county is about the only district at present producing chestnuts in commercial varieties and quantities. The main varieties of pecans shown are the Stuart and the Columbia. Tennessee Red and Jumbo peanuts are shown in abundance and are products of the entire seven southern counties. Among the almonds shown are the Jordan, No Plus Ultra and the Lauquedoc, three of the principal commercial almonds. Southern California, however, produces an abundance of almonds. More than one hundred varieties are sometimes to be found on a single farm. Almond growing is becoming more popular each year and a vast acreage is now devoted to the cultivation of that nut. A majority of the annual output is exported from the state and cratic paper of the South, says on this subject: There is nothing inconsistent with democratic doctrine in maintaining the present tariff on sugar, instead of abandoning it, as had been intended by congress. There would be no inconsistency if the tariff should be increased. Referring to the failure of the reduction in the customs duty to cheapen the price of sugar to the consumer, the Brooklyn Eagle comments: As a mater of fact, sugar is now dearer than it was before the rates upon it were revised downward. The consumer is worse off than he was before. That he would have been better off, but for the outbreak of the war, is of course contended, but the proof of the pudding is the eating thereof. Theory has not been verified by fact. That sugar was unjustly discriminated against in the Underwood law is the view of the Jacksonville (Fla.) Times-Union. It says: The duty on sugar is mainly a revenue duty and as such is one that democrats should favor. When it was abolished while other duties highly protective and therefore furnishing little revenue were left, with only slight reduction the democrats departed from their own principles. "It was a mistake, when reforming the tariff on a revenue basis," remarks the Louisville Courier-Journal, "to abolish the great revenue duty on sugar." The Louisville Post points out "that there is not the slightest departure from democratic doctrine in retaining the duty." and on this point the Beloit (Wis.) Press adds: The Wilson administration's decision in favor of its temporary retention does not, as has been suggested, involve a change of democratic policy. It does mean concession to the needs of the PRINCIPLES OF FARM MANAGEMENT Fundamental Process of Farmermen Certain fund farm management specialists of the culture as having or substantiated cultural survey sentative farming county, Pa.

LEGISLATIVE PLAN OF DEMOCRATS OUTLINED Secretary McAdoo Says Income Tax Law to be Amended; Sugar Tariff To Stand The first intimation of the program of legislation that the administration will suggest to the next congress has been given out by Secretary McAdoo. While Mr. McAdoo's statement gives the items merely in the form of personal suggestions there is no doubt that his utterance was approved by the president and that Mr. Wilson has in mind the tax levies suggested by his secretary of the treasury. The program of suggestions includes the following: An increase in the rates of taxation on individual and corporate incomes. A reduction of the income tax exemption from $3000 to $2000 for single persons and from $4000 to $300 for married persons. The application of the surtax to incomes above $10,000 to $15,000 instead of $20,000, the amount fixed by the present law. An extension of the war tax on gasoline, crude and refined oils, automobiles and other internal combustion engines. The re-enactment of the war revenue tax in its present form. The repeal of the clause in the present tariff law which puts sugar on the free list beginning with May, 1 next, thus retaining this large item of revenue. Secretary McAdoo volces the opposition of the administration to a bond issue for national defense purposes and expresses the opinion that it will not be necessary; that the necessary expenditure can be met with taxes "widely diffused and scarcely felt." marks the Louisville Courler-Journal, "to abolish the great revenue duty on sugar." The Louisville Post points out "that there is not the slightest departure from democratic doctrine in retaining the duty," and on this point the Beloit (Wis.) Press adds: The Wilson administration's decision in favor of its temporary retention does not, as has been suggested, involve a change of democratic policy. It does mean concession to the needs of the hour by President Wilson personally, but it actually involves a return to the policy long uphold by a majority of the democratic leaders. The Houston (Tex.) Post expresses the opinion that the retention of the sugar duty will be permanent. It says: So far as the sugar tax is concerned, we believe its retention, once decided upon, will be permanent, because there was never any good reason for repealing it. It is the most general and most natural revenue tax we have and the one tax that enables all the people to contribute moderately to the support of the government. Even if we had not the vestige of a sugar industry in the United States, the sugar duty would be desirable for this reason alone. "While the retention of the duty may decrease to some extent the profits of the big refineries of the sugar trust located in the east," says the Bay City (Mich.), Times, "sentiment generally is in favor of the change as the surest and easiest means of raising a large sum for the government." DRYS KNOCKED OUT IN WASHING, REPORT Persistent reports have been in circulation in Portland, Ore., for some days that the state supreme court of Washington has knocked out the prohibition law. Officially there is nothing known as to the report. The favorite rumor is this: The members of the supreme court wrote its decision three weeks ago and the majority favor the wets, the latter winning on a technicality. Instead of handing down the decision, the court has been requested to withhold it temporarily and meanwhile the drys are doing everything possible to have the decision reconsidered. WHY WOMEN SUFFER The repeal of the clause in the present tariff law which puts sugar on the free list beginning with May, 1 next, thus retaining this large item of revenue. Secretary McAdoo volces the opposition of the administration to a bond issue for national defense purposes and expresses the opinion that it will not be necessary; that the necessary expenditure can be met with taxes "widely diffused and scarcely felt." Secretary McAdoo takes a somewhat more optimistic view of the revenue situation confronting the government than do many leaders of congress. Mr. McAdoo figures that the new revenue necessary to meet the deficit in 1917, and the increased national defense program, will be $112,806,394. In other words the additional taxes which will have to be levied will represent a little more than $1 for every person in the United States if there is to be no issue of bonds. Mr. McAdoo points out that if the payments on account of the Panama canal for 1916 and 1917, amounting to $50,000,000, should be paid from the proceeds of bonds already used, then the additional revenues which would be needed for the fiscal year 1917 would be only $62,806,000. CURRENT COMMENT ON THE SUGAR TARIFF Press of All Parties Approves Proposal to Retain Tariff Without regard to party affiliations or previous tariff leanings, the newspapers of the country continue to approve the action of the administration in moving to repeal the free sugar clause of the Underwood tariff law. The Baltimore Sun, a leading demo- The favorite rumor is this: The members of the supreme court wrote its decision three weeks ago and the majority favor the wets, the latter winning on a technicality.

ANAHEIM GAZETTE—THURSDAY, DEC. 2 PRINCIPLES OF FARM MANAGEMENT Fundamental Principles of the Business of Farming Stated by Government Specialists Certain fundamental principles of farm management are advanced by specialists of the department of agriculture as having been brought out or substantiated by a thorough agricultural survey of an old and representative farming section of Chester county, Pa. These principles are summarized as follows: Farming conforms to local soil, climate, labor, and market conditions as well as to the business conditions of the individual farm. When conditions remain unchanged for a long time, farming becomes approximately what it ought to be to get the best results, provided that practice which is immediately the most profitable does not deplete soil fertility. Success in farming, measured in percent of profit on investment, does not depend on the magnitude of the farm business, but of the farm family it is directly proportional to the magnitude of business. Profits increase as yields per acre increase until the yields are considerably above the average for the locality, but beyond this point increased yields are obtained at a loss. In quantity of product per dairy cow the point of diminishing returns is not reached in ordinary farm practice. It is easier and more profitable to increase low yields per acre than high ones, and small product per cow than large product. In other words, profits can be increased more easily by attention to the weakest points in a farming system. There is a way of grouping the enterprises of a farm that is more profitable than any other way; that is, there is a certain most profitable average for each crop and a most profitable more or less exposed to the danger. Unless pork is known to have been subjected to refrigeration as above indicated, it should be thoroughly cooked. The microscopic examination of pork for the detection of trichinae has been abandoned, as the usual methods have proved inefficient. In this connection it is interesting to note that more prime sheep were slaughtered. PROBLEMS OF THE CITRUS INDUSTRY Suggestions Assume the Principle of Cooperation as Fundamental J. Clark Wilson of Glendora writing in a Los Angeles newspaper concerning the citrus industry, says: In a previous article I put forward three suggestions for the growers in the citrus industry: (1) Greater control of the market; (2) more frequent meetings to quicken interest in local association affairs; (3) the publication of a periodical through the California Fruit Growers' Exchange to blind the members of the local associations more closely with the exchange and with one another. All these suggestions assume the principle of co-operation as fundamental. Experience of economic production in general, and our own citrus industry in particular, has shown that cooperation is the right principle for the best results. In general industry competition has been abandoned, and is as dead as Adam Smith. We don't nowadays put our finger into our eye to spite the other fellow's face. In the citrus industry we have largely eliminated ruinous competition at the growers' end through the formation of local cooperative associations. These associations have taken the place of the old time independent action by each grower with results that have put the industry on a more stable and healthy basis. It is possible that the newer growers need to be reminded of a time when they would have had to seek their own market and take what was offered them, which frequently had no relation to its value in the eastern markets. These were days when fortunes were made in the fruit business, but not by the growers. There are still nearly 40 per cent of the growers who are outside of the California Fruit Growers' Exchange, and while It is easier and more profitable to increase low yields per acre than high ones, and small product per cow than large product. In other words, profits can be increased more easily by attention to the weakest points in a farming system. There is a way of grouping the enterprises of a farm that is more profitable than any other way; that is, there is a certain most profitable acreage for each crop and a most profitable proportion of income from any one source. Some enterprises, such as poultry keeping, may easily be made profitable as side lines, yet are difficult to make profitable when made a main feature of the farm business. Production costs much more per bushel or per ton on the small farm than on the large form of the same type. Diversity of business is an important factor of success on the average farm. A moderate degree of diversity is better than either extreme. GOVERNMENT GUARDING THE MEAT SUPPLY Approximately 60 Per Cent of Animals Are Now Slaughtered Under Federal Inspection More than 58,000,000 meat animals were slaughtered in establishments under Federal inspection during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1915. Since approximately from 58 to 60 per cent of the animals killed in the country are slaughtered in establishments where Federal inspection is maintained, it appears that about 100,000,000 meat animals are now being killed each year in the United States. Of the animals subjected to Federal inspection, 299,958 were condemned as unfit for human use and 644,688 were condemned in part. Thus a little more than 1½ per cent of all the animals inspected were condemned either in whole or in part. These figures include only cattle, calves, sheep, goats and swine. Tuberculosis was the chief cause of the condemnations. More than 32,644 carcasses of cattle and 66,000 carcasses of swine were entirely rejected on account of this disease, and in addition parts of 48,000 cattle and 440,000 swine. Hog cholera was responsible for the next largest loss nearly 102,000 swine being condemned entirely on been more or less exposed to the danger. Unless pork is known to have been subjected to refrigeration as above indicated, it should be thoroughly cooked. The microscopic examination of pork for the detection of trichinae has been abandoned, as the usual methods have proved inefficient. In this connection it is interesting to note that more swine were slaughtered in the past year in establishments under Federal inspection than ever before. A total of 36,247,958 were inspected at the time of slaughter and approximately 35,900,000 passed for food. SOUTHLAND FRUITS AND VEGETABLES WIN AT THE FAIR Thirty-Five Awards for Horticultural Excellence are Made by Experts From a display gleaned from the countries of the world and comprised of the choicest products of the horticulturist's skill, Southern California has come out with flying colors and thirty-five awards; including one grand prize and two more to follow, by its exhibit of fruits and vegetables at the San Francisco exposition. Information of the triumph of Southern California natural products was contained in a letter of congratulations telegraphed from San Francisco by W. D. Egilbert, commissioner general of California, to R. W. Pridham, of Los Angeles. The telegram which was received at the offices of the Western Union Telegraph company, as follows: "Congratulations to the Southern California exposition commission on being given 35 awards for fresh fruits and vegetables including the grand prize for oranges and avocados, to be awarded later." Granting of the numerous awards in the citrus fruit classifications is met with particular satisfaction by Southern California growers because of the comprehensive displays in that line made by nations of Southern Europe. It is considered as a tribute to the local ranchers of superiority in product and natural advantages over those sections of France, Spain and Italy formerly noted for the excellence of their citrus crops, and places California in the fore rank of the world's industry on a more stable and healthy basis. It is possible that the newer growers need to be reminded of a time when they would have had to seek their own market and take what was offered them, which frequently had no relation to its value in the eastern markets. These were days when fortunes were made in the fruit business, but not by the growers. There are still nearly 40 per cent of the growers who are outside of the California Fruit Growers' Exchange, and while many of these are members of a cooperative association, they ship their fruit independently of the California Fruit Growers' Exchange. It is these independent shipments which are a menace to a stable market, and to the best returns. The marketing of our crop is as important to us as its production, and consequently it is important to us to have the greatest control of the market possible. A very apt illustration of this has taken place during the week. Ranchers are all anxious to get the highest prices they can, but they are also anxious to get the fruit off the trees for practical reasons. But the picking gangs are temporarily idle. Why? To keep prices at their present highly profitable level it is necessary to keep a strong grip on shipments. Therefore, when it was found that there was a tendency to ship too heavily, the exchange recommended local manager to slow down, and the pickers were called off. Of course, it would be possible for other smaller marketing concerns to collaborate with the exchange in controlling the supply. But collaboration by them has often taken the form of seizing the opportunity of an exchange curtailment to sell in a declining market at the expense of the exchange growers. Hence it seems to me in the interest of the growers that the California Fruit Growers' Exchange should have an increased percentage of our fruit. In a very illuminating article on cooperation in the latest year book of the Deparemtne of Agriculture, the writers say: "No cooperative marketing association should be attempted unless the prospective members feel that it will do the work better or at a less cost than any existing plan. The object must be to eliminate or reduce waste." I hold no brief for the California Fruit Growers' Exchange. It is rot a perfect organization. It can only reflect the level attained by its members and the officials they appoint. But its latest report of opera- mals inspected were condemned either in whole or in part. These figures include only cattle, calves, sheep, goats and swine. Tuberculosis was the chief cause of the condemnations. More than 32,644 carcasses of cattle and 66,000 carcasses of swine were entirely rejected on account of this disease, and in addition parts of 48,000 cattle and 440,000 swine. Hog cholera was responsible for the next largest loss nearly 102,000 swine being condemned entirely on this account. The annual appropriation for the Federal meat inspection service is now about $3,375,000, so that the cost to the people would be between 5 and 6 cents per animal if the service was confined entirely to the inspection of the animals and carcasses. In addition, however, great quantities of the meat and products are reinspected. In this item there was a very considerable increase during the last fiscal year, the reinspection resulting in the condemnation of a total of nearly 19,000,000 pounds of products of one kind or another. Furthermore, 245,000,000 pounds of imported meat or meat products were inspected and more than 2,000,000 pounds condemned or refused entry. In the course of its work, the bureau of animal industry, which is in charge of the meat inspection service, has discovered a new method of destroying trichinae in pork, which is an additional safeguard to human health. Refrigeration at a temperature of 5 deg. or lower, for a period of 20 days will destroy these parasites, which occasionally give rise in human beings to the serious disease known as trichinosis. Hitherto the only known safeguard against this disease has been thorough cooking of all pork and pork products, and those persons who neglect this precaution have always Our many customers are appreciating more and more our efficient delivery service---two early deliveries before supper and before breakfast.

Claudina The haunting cry of revenue has stirred the administration to dig into every possible avenue for money. The latest suggestion that emanates from Washington is to levy a tax of $1 per horsepower upon every motor vehicle manufactured in the United States. If you contemplate building don't make the mistake of purchasing your material before getting an estimate from the Griffith Lumber company. Compared to the old day—the "old days," as some of the older ranchers bitterly recall—when packing, freight and commissions almost balanced returns, and the ranchers had to forget to put any value on their own work, the present conditions are both healthy and hopeful. Healthy, because we are getting a profit on our investment, and we can see an actual return for our work. Hopeful, because our industry is organized on an economic basis to give us popular control of the management policy, and expenditure of our organization. A study and comparison of the figures given in this report of the general manager is instructive reading. There is no other marketing organization on the same scale to compare. The only available figures before me are from the annual statement of a much smaller organization, and their cost of selling works out at over 9 cents per box, compared with the Exchange cost of between 6 and 7 cents. This latter figure includes 2 cents a box for "national advertising to increase the consumption of citrus fruits," wherein all growers will benefit, whether they are members of the Exchange or not. And herein is an added reason for members of local as- Orange County Dye and Cleaning Works is one of the best equipped plants for cleaning and pressing clothes, cleaning carpets, dyeing, etc., in Orange County.

ORANGE COUNTY MAKES A GREAT SHOWING Takes Twenty-Three Prizes at the San Francisco Expoaltion California horticulturally and agriculturally, was awarded 503 prize awards at the Panama Pacific Exposition. Of These, eleven were grand prizes, forty eight medals of honor, ninety-five bronze medals and 142 honorable mentions. Orange county made a wonderful record, taking twenty-three prizes—two grand prizes, eleven gold medals and ten other medals. Only one of these was on oranges, St. John's brand took a gold medal, as did loquats. This county also took prizes for feljoas, vanish nuts, chill peppers, persimmons, tomatoes, potatoes and sapota. And the list of these prizes covers every range of fruit and vegetable raised in the northern and near-tropical California, 1,075,000 is in San Bernardino county, 397,000 acres in Los Angeles and 267,000 acres in Kern county, and smaller tracts in Lassen, San Luis Obispo, Riverside, Tehama, Santa Barbara, Ino and Modoc counties.

And the list of these prizes covers every range of fruit and vegetable raised in the northern and near-tropic climates. Santa Clara county gets a gold medal for display of blackberries, Alameda is mentioned for strawberries, and, if the judges had been there this month, nobody doubts who would have had the gold medal. Calaveras county took mentions for two varieties of apples. San Leandro took a gold medal for cucumber pickles; Fresno county took no less than five gold medals for grapes, Persian melons, nectarines, peaches and plums. Kern county was well up in the list with four gold medals, one silver medal, two bronze medals and ten honorable mentions. The prizes were given for rhubarb, quinces, blackberries, watermelons, Jerusalem artichokes, casabas and other fruits and vegetables. Kings county also took seventeen prizes mostly for grapes. Mariposa county took a silver medal for apples. Merced county was given a medal of honor for figs and was represented in the honor list with grapes and sweet potatoes. Nevada county, in a long list of gold, silver and bronze medals, had one mention of pears. The names attached to the delicious fruit for which the county took its medal are well known, in fact Nevada county took the grand prize for Bartlett pears, and the White Doyenne, Bose and Glendenning varieties are also among its list. Placer county had the longest list of awards with thirty. These included prizes for pears, pomegranates, persimons, quinces, apples, apricots, raspberries, cherries and strawberries. San Joaquin county won with its onions, Solano county with grapes and plums and Sonoma county with apples. Most of the other counties of California won medals and mention. Orders designating 1,875,000 acres in California and 830,000 acres in South Dakota for entry in the enlarged home-stead act have been approved by Secretary Lane of the Interior Department this year? The tillers of the soil are digging free gold out of every acre, and counting and pocketing about $115,000,000 received for their crops. Of this vast amount it is conservatively estimated that three-fourths comes to Southern California, with its fields and orchards rich beyond compare, and its production ever increasing. It is a banner year in this state for agricultural output, and that output is commanding in nearly all cases the highest prices ever known—and the ranchman reaps the benefits. During the past three months the prices of beans, sugar beets, rice, walnuts, hay and dried fruits have steadily advanced, and the top of the market is apparently not yet in sight. The pile of gold is growing higher. California ranchmen are getting about $25,000,000 more this year for their crops than last, and that was considered a good season. But there has never been such a demand as at present for the good things we grow. Our beans and prunes, for instance, are fed daily to hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of fighting men in the European trenches, and there's a call for more; more. With the extraordinary demand for the Golden State's products and the heavy consumption in the homeland, the ranchman has more markets than he can supply, and appears to be getting about all the money he can comfortably carry. He is growing opulent, he is building fine homes, he is buying the best autos, and he is enjoying life. The present is good to him, and the future is a rainbow of promise.
