CALIFORNIA ORANGE DAY IS SATURDAY, MARCH 18 Everybody in North America Expected to Eat Our Fruit That Day Manager G. W. Sandilands and the 235 members of the Anaheim Citrus Fruit association are co-operating with the balance of the packers and growers of the state in an effort to introduce the California orange into every home in North America on Orange Day, Saturday, March 18. Manager Sandilands says: "The cooperation of all the railroads, hotels, and express companies is being secured to give this matter the fullest publicity to the end that the California orange may be on the table of every home in the North American continent on this day. Everyone in California is being asked to mention the celebration of this day in their correspondence to Eastern friends and to keep mentioning it until March 18th arrives. We expect to lend all assistance in our power by putting out special souvenir boxes as we have done the past two years. This day and the national celebration of it means a great deal to every citrus grower of the state and has been the means in the past of getting oranges into markets that had hitherto never handled California oranges."

Although this bulletin deals primarily with the production of Durango cotton in the Imperial Valley, much of the information which it contains is applicable to other cotton growing communities. For the Imperial Valley no other variety of long staple Upland cotton has been found as suitable as the Durango. This variety, which produces fiber form 1 3-16 inches to 1 1-4 inches in length, yields as well as short staple varieties, but brings better net returns. To realize the full possibilities in the industry, however, community action is essential. It requires community action to insure an adequate supply of pure seed, to turn out from the gin a smooth sample without defects, and to establish a reputation for a consistently high quality of cotton. These factors have been realized in the Imperial Valley, and the bulletin already mentioned points out the extent to which the development of the industry has been favored by the organization of the Imperial Valley Long staple Cotton Growers' association. The grower, however, can not alone effect the stabilization of the cotton industry in any one community. He must be assisted by all the other interests which share in the benefits of CALIFORNIA MINIATURES Work in the Californias reported to the oil state mining bureau ending January 22, work tha nfor several Only four new wells LOST CHILD FOUND ON THE BLEAK HIGHWAY Taken Into Brea, but Refused to Give Name or Place of Residence Brea had a mystery child on her hands Tuesday inght. The youngster was plucked from the blackness of night by Fred Weekly between that place and Fullerton. Weekly took his charge to his home in Brea. The boy was apparently about eight years old, though at times he claimed to be as old as fourteen. Sweating, grilling and even a mild form of the third degree would elicit no substantial information as to his identity, his home or where he was bound for, and the final conclusion was that he was either off balance mentally or was abnormally shrewd and tactful for one of his age. Every question brought a new story, told in a broken and uncertain way, and about the only point upon which he appeared to be absolutely positive was the fact that he did not want to return home. Mr. Weekly phoned to neighboring towns to ascertain if the loss of the hoy had been reported but no information that gave light could be secured so Fred wished his charge off onto Landlord Gibbs of the Kinsler hotel and went home. Mr. Gibbs took the boy next morning to Fullerton, and later he was sent to the county authorities at Santa Ana. GREATEST PRODUCTION OF ANTI-MONY ORES The prices of antimony in 1915 were probably the highest known since the metal became a regular article of commerce. The highest prices were naturally reflected in far the largest production made in the United States, and probably the same statement is true for the world's production. According to preliminary figures collected by the geological survey, the production of antimony ores in this country is estimated to have been about 5000 tons, containing about 2000 tons of antimony, valued at about $325,000. The price, which in July, 1914, had been down to a monthly average that ranged from 5.44 to 7.11 cents a pound and depended on the brand, rose gradually. These factors have been realized in the Imperial Valley, and the bulletin already mentioned points out the extent to which the development of the industry has been favored by the organization of the Imperial Valley Long staple Cotton Growers' association. The grower, however, can not alone effect the stabilization of the cotton industry in any one community. He must be assisted by all the other interests which share in the benefits of stabilization—the banker, the merchant, the ginner, the buyer, and the cotton manufacturer. The ginner is interested because he must have some assurance that he will have sufficient cotton to gin to pay him a dividend upon his investment. He will not have this unless cotton raising is made profitable to the growers. The giner's success is dependent upon the success of the grower, and for him to see that the full value of the fiber is preserved in the ginned bale is an economical form of insurance. To the banker, cotton on a standardized basis with one varity grown exclusively means the best there is financially in the cotton industry for the community. Durango cotton grown from pure seed provides an exceptionally good basis for crop loans, a fact which has already been proved in the history of cooperative associations in the Imperial Valley. The raising of cotton of an unknown or inferior quality represents waste to the grower and unnecessary risk to the banker. In the past manufacturers have urged an extension of long staple cotton production in order to insure for themselves a tseady supply of raw material, but they have not taken any substantial and permanent measures to make the production of long staple cotton profitable to the producer. From the grower's point of view, the production of marketable cotton of a superior quality is the most effective step that he can make toward stabilization. In the Imperial Valley a simple formula for him to follow is: Plant good seed of the Durango variety, produce a bale or mor, per acre, and pick it carefully. The production of a bale or more per acre can only be accomplished by the application of the best agricultural practices. The most important of these are listed in Bulletin 324, as follows: 1. Thorough leveling of the land so that water can be applied uniformly. 2. The maintenance of proper tilth.

According to preliminary figures collected by the geological survey, the production of antimony ores in this country is estimated to have been about 5000 tons, containing about 2000 tons of antimony, valued at about $325,000. The price, which in July, 1914, had been down to a monthly average that ranged from 5.44 to 7.11 cents a pound and depended on the brand, rose gradually, though unsteadily, to the end of 1915, when Chinese, Japanese and American antimony were quoted at about 40 cents a pound. The largest production was made from deposits near Wild Rose Spring, in the Panamint Range, Cal. Other deposits were mined in California—at many places in Kern county, in the eastern end of San Benito county, and on Moore's Flat near Grass Valley. In Nevada considerable quantities were mined at many places, most of them in the northwest quarter of the state. Oregon, Washington and Idaho produced small quantities of ore, and in Arkansas a company was organized work old properties west of Gilham. The present high prices are of course temporary. The Chinese deposits are large and are worked by very cheap labor, and deposits are being developed in other parts of the world, so as soon as the war is over, and possibly before, prices will probably drop nearly to a level with those of 1914.

CALIFORNIA MINING REPORT Work in the California oil fields, as reported to the oil department of the state mining bureau, during the week ending January 22, shows less new work than nfor several months past. Only four new wells were reported, CALIFORNIA MINING REPORT Work in the California oil fields, as reported to the oil department of the state mining bureau, during the week ending January 22, shows less new work than several months past. Only four new wells were reported, one each by the Associated and Union Oil companies in the Los Hills Belridge district, one by the General Petroleum company in the Midway field and one by the Traders Oil company in the Kern River field. The fact that eleven new wells have been started in the old ern River field in the last five months affords a good illustration of the long life of California oil fields' and the wisdom of giving them the best care engineering skill can devise. The field is about 15 years old, is very closely drilled and yet of the total number of wells that have been completed about 90 per cent are still producing. Such fields are in marked contrast with those of most other states where the life of an individual well is of so little moment that statistics take no account of abandonment, but merely state the number of new wells. Even the routine work of redrilling wells and testing water conditions, to which the bureau engineers give special attention, was below the average. The general inactivity is probably due more to the interference of the heavy winter storms than to market conditions. The number of abandonments is unusually high, but this work is attended to simply when occasion permits. The complete report of operations is as follows: Begin Drilling New Wells— Company Sec. Twp.

Pfister, county clerk of Santa Clara county, to register the party affiliation of Eugene M. Don. Chief Justice F. M. Angellotti announced the decision of the court, which agreed without leaving the bench. The intent of the decision is to hold the provisions of the 1913 direct primary law, which provides for the declaration of party affiliation at the time of registration. No official cognizance was taken of the primary laws as amended by the recent special session of the legislature, which attempted to straighten out a conflict in the statutes left by the repeal of certain non-partisan measures at a referendum election last fall. The amended election laws provide that party affiliation may be declared at the primary polls. This law will not be effective until ninety days following the adjournment of the special session. At the expiration of that period the amended direct primary laws, unless held up by referendum, will be in full effect, and the county clerks will have no option in the matter but to follow the expressed provisions that party registrations shall be made at the time. In rendering the decision orally from the bench directing the issue of a writ of mandate to compel county Clerk Pfister to accept party registration, Justice Henshaw said: "Under the law as it now stands the voter is entitled to have his party affiliation recorded. Party registration is essential to the enforcement of the primary law." TEACHERS OF AGRICULTURE The demand for properly trained men to teach agriculture in secondary schools is greater than the supply, and from present indications, will continue to increase for some time. Hitherto, comparatively few men have studied agriculture with the deliberate intention of teaching it as a life work. In consequence, while provision for agricultural education has been greatly developed, the number of teachers is still small. This subject is discussed in the Agricultural Education Monthly, published by the department of agriculture. It points out that a good teacher must, of course, have all the fundamental qualifications. He must know his special subject and must also be versed in the science of education and the art of teaching. Those already qualified to teach general subjects in secondary schools who wish to teach agriculture should, if possible, take at least a course extending over several years in the tsate agricultural colleges. Those who cannot leave their positions can take courses during the summer vacation or short courses during the winter.
