CITIZENS URGED TO GROW MORE FOODSTUFFS DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE ASKS PEOPLE TO CULTIVATE EVERY AVAILABLE SPOT RESIDENTS OF CITIES SHOULD TRANS FORM THEIR YARDS TO VEGETABLE GARDENS In view of the approaching war the government, through the department of agriculture issued a statement Saturday, urging all patriotic citizens of the United States to cultivate every inch of vacant ground. Every section of the country, the department declares, should be made self-sustaining, as, in the event of war, the transportation facilities will be needed by the government. "If national policy decrees that there should be a big increase in our acreage and yields per acre of food crops," the statement says, "then the nation as a whole, and not the farmer as a class, should and must assume the major part of the risk involved. The department is urging each section of the country to become as nearly as practicable agriculturally independent. This is good policy in time of peace, and would be a vitally important policy in time of war, when our transportation systems necessarily would be chiefly occupied with the transportation of soldiers and war supplies." "In view of the apparent worldwide Saturday night, Senator LaFollette slipped out and took a restful sleep, preparatory to delivering in the senate Sunday morning a philippic against the armed neutrality bill. Doubtless it was his intention to be talking when the hour of adjournment arrived, and thus have the credit for literally talking the bill to death. But he had not reckoned on a filibuster against himself. He reached the senate chamber fresh as a daisy soon after 9 o'clock Sunday morning, and soon was seeking recognition from the chair, in order that he bight speak and deliver the carefully prepared oration aimed at the president's policy. But, strange as it might seem, the vice president just didn't see him at all. Every time a break came in the prolooking in another direction and was looking in another direction and recognized some other senator. Senator La Follette's address went to an untimely end along with the bill he helped to throttle. He was not permitted to speak at all. POPULAR YOUNG COUPLE MARRIED AT SAN DIEGO Miss Gladys De Vinney and Will Liewellyn Wedded Sunday Although they kept it secret five days, the news leaked out Friday that Will Liewellyn, Anaheim's assistant postmaster, and Miss Gladys De Vinney, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. F. DeVinney, were married. The ceremony was performed at the home of Judge and Mrs. J. F. Wilson, uncle and aunt of Mrs. DeVinney. The young couple left here Saturday and were met at San Diego by Mrs. DeVinney, who had gone before. They were taken to the home of Judge Wilson, and the following day at noon, Rev. Hollington performed the ceremony which made them one.

This is good policy in time of peace, and would be a vitally important policy in time of war, when our transportation systems necessarily would be chiefly occupied with the transportation of soldiers and war supplies. "In view of the apparent worldwide wheat shortage and present and prospective high prices in those part of the country where spring wheat at normal prices is as profitable or almost as profitable as oats, farmers would do well to seed a part at least of their normal cost acreage to spring wheat. In case of war, few things would be more important than that the United States should have on hand a large surplus of wheat with which to feed its allies. "It is the patriotic duty of every city boy, girl and woman who can transform his or her yard or some near-by vacant lot into a garden, each square foot of which will grow two or possible three crops during the coming summer. "Moreover, the average small farmer and his family owe it to their country, as well as to themselves to raise at least 100 chickens, to keep one cow or more, at least enough hogs for home consumption and perhaps a little bunch of sheep. "The cheapest, most profitable and quickest known means of increasing general production is by the use of lime. There are few sections in the United States without some local supply of limestone, marl or oyster shells. If every farmer in the country would apply from two to four tons of crushed limestone per acre to all his sour land our national supply of breadstuffs this year would be augmented by a surprising number of million bushels." The United States must devote itself to increased agricultural production, in the opinion of David Lubin, the American representative in the International Institute of Agriculture at Rome. Mr. Lubn has sent President Wilson a plan for food mobilization in case of war, based on the experience of Europe and aiming to obtain a greater agricultural effort in view of the world's shortage of food and also to prevent food speculation. To the Associated Press Mr. Lubin said: "The first and necessary thing is postmaster, and Miss Gladys DeVinney, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. W. F. DeVinney, were married. The ceremony was performed at the home of Judge and Mrs. J. F. Wilson, uncle and aunt of Mrs. DeVinney. The young couple left here Saturday and were met at San Diego by Mrs. DeVinney, who had gone before. They were taken to the home of Judge Wilson, and the following day at noon, Rev. Hollington performed the ceremony which made them one. Mr. and Mrs. Llewellyn are now staying at the home of the bride's parents on South Los Angeles street. They will enjoy a wedding trip during the groom's vacation weeks, and on their return will take up their residence in their new home in the Zeyn tract. These young people have a large circle of friends in Anaheim, who extend best wishes. AMAZING FIGURES During the first seven months of the fiscal year our export trade was $2,265,908,707 greater than our purchases abroad. Should the same ratio between exports and imports be preserved the trade in our favor at the close of the fiscal year would total the enormous sum of $3,884,416,928. While our imports during the first seven months of the fiscal year were over thirteen hundred million dollars, it is to be noted that over two hundred and fourteen million dollars represent "manufactures ready for consumption." Contrast that with the total of $1,703,730,959 of our exports of such manufactures! Most of our imports indeed, considerably more than half—were either of crude materials for use in manufacturing or of manufactures for further use in manufacturing. Should this war last for the length of time that now seems probable, New York will become the financial capital of the world and the dollar will supersede the pound sterling as the unit of international exchange. Our entrance upon the war probably would conduce to the expansion rather than to the restriction of business.

Mr. Lubn has sent to President Wilson a plan for food mobilization in case of war, based on the experience of Europe and aiming to obtain a greater agricultural effort in view of the world's shortage of food and also to prevent food speculation. To the Associated Press Mr. Lubin said: "The first and necessary thing is to plant potatoes, turnips, carrots and corn on farms and also on every available city lot. The same measures should be taken for animal food and for industrial agricultural products such as cotton. If America goes to war it must understand that the war will last perhaps two years longer. Germany's agricultural mobilization has kept her alive and fighting. A system of food distribution through the parcel post is desirable in order to avoid high prices and the activities of speculators. Congress also should adopt Senator Sheppard's bill to solve the food problem. LA FOLLETTE AS THE GANDER There is a time honored proverb to the effect that what seasons food for the goose must not be sniffed at by the leader of the flock, and its application was beautifully illustrated at Washington Sunday, in the case of Senator La Follette. The Wisconsin member had been the leading spirit in a filibuster which had deadlocked the senate for a week and prevented action to strengthen the hands of the president in the national crisis. Every time a vote was asked for La Follette objected. But before final adjournment the measure was meted out to him. Leaving lieutenants on guard late upon the war probably would conduce to the expansion rather than to the restriction of business. OPENINGS FOR BUSINESS MANAGERS IN STATE HOSPITALS The business management of the state's hospitals for the insane calls for men of executive ability who have a good general knowledge of business methods, are familiar with farm management and the production and disposal of crops, and have an intimate knowledge of supplies of all kinds needed at the hospitals so that they can judge the quality of the goods supplied by contractors. The state is anxious to secure men with these qualifications, for employment as required at the six hospitals for the insane at salaries of $1800 per annum, with maintenance in addition. Opportunity to enter the service of the state in this capacity is offered in an examination scheduled by the civil service commission for May 5. The examination is open to all American citizens residing in California—preferred ages being from 25 to 50—who are in good health and meet the requirements. Persons interested in the examination may secure application blanks and further information from the state civil service commission at any of the following offices: Room 733 Forum Bldg., Sacramento; Room 10, Ferry Bldg., San Francisco; and at the office of the Los Angeles county civil service commission, Room 1007, Hall of Records, Los Angeles. Completed applications must be filed with the commission on or before April 28, 1917.

Tests made to determine the suitability of the Alaskan trees for mine timbers showed that in bending strength developed the four species named are from 20 to 100 per cent stronger than lodgepole pine, Alpine fir, Englemann spruce, bristle cone pine and western yellow pine from the Rocky Mountain region. All of these species are widely used for mine timbers and were tested by the laboratory. Sitka spruce, white birch and western hemlock from Alaska proved to be considerably higher in average strength than Rock Mountain Douglas fir. White spruce averaged nearly as well. THE NEW GRAND CLARA KIMBALL YOUNG IN "THE PRICE SHE PAID" FRIDAY, SATURDAY AND SUNDAY "The Price She Paid," one of the most popular American novels ever written, with Clara Kimball Young, the favorite of all moving picture actresses, will be the Selznick-Pictures feature offering at the New Grand, Friday, Saturday and Sunday of this week. The story is that of Mildred Gower, a young woman who has been reared in luxury, and finds herself almost penniless at the death of her father. It is necessary that she make a "good match," and because of the taunts of relatives she is finally forced to marry a multimillionaire many tion, as agent for its members, to perform services connected with the production, preservation, drying, canning, storing, handling, utilization, marketing, or sale of agricultural and horticultural products produced by them. It would also permit the association to perform for its members, in a similar way, services connected with the purchase or hiring of supplies, including live stock, machinery and equipment, and the hiring of labor. The membership of such organizations would be limited to persons engaged in agriculture or horticulture. Membership would be nontransferable, and each member would be entitled to one vote only; to be delivered in person or by mailed ballots. Voting by proxy would not be permitted. The draft of the proposed bill was prepared in the department in compliance with requests from many officials and individuals. It is pointed out that the Department of Agriculture has no power to give an authoritative ruling as to the antitrust laws of the United States. It is suggested, therefore, that those who desire to make use of the bill drafted by the department, or to organize thereunder, should act with reference to the matter on the advice of competent counsel of their own choice. SPORTSMEN REJOICING OVER NON-SALE TROUT LAW Lake Tahoe Fish Cannot Be Marketed Now The thousands of sportsmen throughout the state who seek the happy hunting and fishing ground in motor cars are delighted with the passing of the non-sale trout bill by the state senate a few days ago. This bill was framed to stop the wholesale marketing of trout from Lake Tahoe. Last season 2,500 logical survey, in cooperation with the California department of engineering. In 1915 a report by W. O. Clark, published by the survey gave an estimate of the supply in the area known as the Niles cone, and a similar report is now announced for the area around written, with Clara Kimball Young, the favorite of all moving picture actresses, will be the Selznick-Pictures feature offering at the New Grand, Friday, Saturday and Sunday of this week. The story is that of Mildred Gower, a young woman who has been reared in luxury, and finds herself almost penniless at the death of her father. It is necessary that she make a "good match," and because of the taunts of relatives she is finally forced to marry a multimillionaire many years her senior. She finds herself little more to him than a fine piece of furniture which he displays to his friends to gratify his pride, and she leaves him. A former sweetheart provides her with money to enable her to study for an operatic career, but she makes little progress, until another man, Donald Keith, shows her that success is to be reached only through self-denial. She then learns that she never was legally the wife of the multi-millionaire, as he had a wife living in an insane asylum. Finally she achieves her ambition and is free to marry the man of her choice. This picture was directed by Charles Giblyn, who has recently joined the Selznick forces. Ordinarily a film star is satisfied to have one leading man to a picture; but Clara Kimball Young has no less than three in "The Price She Paid." Whether this is because there is safety in numbers, or because variety is the spice of life, deponent saith not; but the fact remains. It may be, too, that in these days of types a man could not be found who could portray the three different characters who enter so prominently into the life of the girl in David Graham Young seems to have selected a worthy trio to do the work, namely: Allen Hale, one of the most popular of the younger leading men of the screen. Then there comes into her life a remarkable character, General Siddall. For this part Director Charles Giblyn engaged the veteran character actor, Snitz Edwards. David Powell plays Donald Keith, the third of the trio of lovers. Matinees will be given Saturday and Sunday. Monday and Tuesday a beautiful new Bluebird feature entitled "The Gift Girl" will be presented. All Bluebird features are shown at the New Grand in advance of Los Angeles. COOPERATIVE ASSOCIATIONS Lake Tahoe Fish Cannot Be Marketed Now The thousands of sportsmen throughout the state who seek the happy hunting and fishing ground in motor cars are delighted with the passing of the non-sale trout bill by the state senate a few days ago. This bill was framed to stop the wholesale marketing of trout from Lake Tahoe. Last season 2,500 pounds were sent from the lake weekly during the fishing season. The Fish and Game Commission is endeavoring to put a stop to this and the offorts are being backed by the sportsmen who recognize in Tahoe a great natural fishing ground which should be preserved for all time for all the people. Fishing in Lake Tahoe is one of the state's greatest summer delights and has been enjoyed by thousands of Californians and tourists. The motorist who puts his camping outfit on the back of his flivver and starts on his way with the entire family is as much interested in the non-sale fish bill as the wealthy tourist who rides in an S.P. drawing room. The opening of the road between Yosemite and Tahoe has made it possible for motorists to visit both resorts on one trip and thousands will take advantage of the opportunity this summer. The summer is the vacation time of the Californian. After the Eastern tourists have turned homeward the California begins enjoying these unequalled pleasures. Nowhere is such a wonderful resort as Tahoe within easy reach of the people. Southern California motorists and those who ride by train have a longer trip than those in the vicinity of San Francisco, but the lake will be the Mecca of thousands from the South. From San Francisco it can be reached overnight on the train. It is a nice day and a half run in a motor car from San Francisco. The best plan is to drive to Sacramento and make the run in the next day. The roads are not open as yet but as soon as the snow melts travel will start. PREPARING TO RETURN TO SUNNY CALIFORNIA J. W. Heinz and Family of Prescott, Wisconsin, are Coming Back Mrs. J. W. Heinz and three children want to know as well as produces mysteries that have the scientific world puzzled. See this man at the Opera House, Thursday and Friday at 8 p.m. logical survey, in cooperation with the California department of engineering. In 1915 a report by W. O. Clark, published by the survey gave an estimate of the supply in the area known as the Niles cone, and a similar report is now announced for the area around the village of Morgan Hill. The ground water level in the Morgan Hill area rises during the rainy season 10 to 45 feet, or an average of 19 feet. As the water bearing materials underlie about 15,700 acres of the area and have an estimated available porosity of about 12 per cent, it was calculated that this rise in water level requires a storage of ground water during the rainy season of about 34,000 acre feet, or practically sufficient to meet the needs of irrigation if the area is planted to orchard. Recently four gaging stations have been established at points along Coyote river to determine how much water this stream loses by percolation into the gravel deposits that underlie the Morgan Hill area. These determinations will form a chock on the estimates based on rise of water levels. McPHEE CONFISCATES DEFECTIVE MILK BOTTLES Shipment of 25,000 Examined by Him And Many Rejected George McPhee spent the greater part of last week inspecting a shipment of 25,000 milk bottles shipped to the Dale Hardware company of Santa Ana from a West Virginia glass factory. He examined each bottle separately and rejected a large number of them because they were short. Many of the bottles were broken. "If another shipment should arrive in such a condition I would simply condemn the whole before I would go to the trouble to inspect every bottle. It looks like the cases had boen handled with hay hooks. My fingers are full of glass and are so sore I can hardly use them. It was the most jumbled up mess I ever had to deal with." In every probability a lawsuit will result from the condemnation. The breakage will have to be assumed by the railroad over which the carload was shipped and the factory will have COOPERATIVE ASSOCIATIONS A draft of a bill for use by states desiring to provide for the organization of nonstock agricultural and horticultural cooperative associations has been drawn in the United States Department of Agriculture and, together with a letter explaining the circumstances under which the bill was prepared and the object to be accomplished, is published in Service and Regulatory Announcements No. 20 of the Office of Markets and Rural Organization. In shaping the bill an effort has been made to conform to the Clayton amendment to the United States antitrust laws, which exempts from the operation of these laws "labor, agricultural and horticultural organizations instituted for the purpose of mutual help and not having capital stock or conducted for profit." The bill is drawn on the principle that every association created under it shall act exclusively as an agent for the member, and that if it act for a nonmember it shall do so also as an agent, the services to be performed at cost. It is sought by this application of the principle of agency to safeguard the non-profit feature of such an organization. It is absolutely essential, the paper points out, that this feature be adhered to both in the organization and in the conduct of the association. The bill would permit the associatior PREPARING TO RETURN TO SUNNY CALIFORNIA J. W. Heinz and Family of Prescott, Wisconsin, are Coming Back Mrs. J. W. Heinz and three children of Prescott, Wisconsin, who have been visiting for the past three months with Mrs. Heinz's parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Kirsch of the Katella district, left Sunday for their home. Mr. Heinz expects to dispose of all his interests in Wisconsin and return to Anaheim in September. Mrs. Heinz and her husband think it is foolish to live in bleak and wintry Wisconsin when there is still plenty of room in sunny Southern California, consequently they are preparing to return. Mr. Kirsch, who is one of the prosperous ranchers of the Katella region, was in town Monday transacting business. In addition to his fine Valencia orchard he has ten acres of lemons which, he says, is a more profitable crop than oranges. MEASURING GROUND WATER In few places is water more valuable than in the Santa Clara Valley, where large supplies are pumped out of the earth for the irrigation of prunes and other crops and for use in the cities on San Francisco bay. For several years investigations to determine the quantity of underground water annually available for use in this valley have been made by the department of the interior, through the geo-condemn the whole before I would go to the trouble to inspect every bottle.

The breakage will have to be assumed by the railroad over which the carload was shipped and the factory will have to stand the loss occasioned by my condemnation unless it should prosecute a case against the state successfully. The freight bill was over $200. Because of the liability of suit, I have been very careful in my investigation." Dale and company are large purchasers of bottles. They supply them to the dairymen of the county and are responsible to the purchasers and are taking the precaution to protect themselves. The company is expecting another carload of bottles next month. GRAPHITE PRODUCTION The production of flake graphite has increased steadily during the last three years, owing to the great demand for it for use in making crucibles. H. G. Ferguson, of the U.S. geological survey, department of the interior, estimates the production of flake graphite for 1916 was about 11,500,000 pounds, as compared with 7,074,000 pounds in 1915 and 5,220,-539 pounds in 1914. Alabama furnished about 5,500,000 pounds, and the remainder came from mines in California, Montana, New York and Pennsylvania. In all 16 companies produced flake graphite.

Owing chiefly to the immense demand for crucibles for use in making munitions, the better grades of flake graphite command more than double the prices at which they sold before the war. Most of the amorphous graphite used in this country is imported from Mexico and Korea, but a total of 2,562 tons was obtained from mines in Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, and Rhode Island. Amorphous graphite is not suitable for use in the manufacture of crucibles but can be used for making lubricants, pencils, paints and foundry facings. The price of amorphous graphite varies according to the grade of the product and has not been greatly increased by the war. LAKES OF MORE THAN 100 SQ. MI. The U. S. geological survey, in a recent letter to a correspondent, gives the following interesting list of lakes in the United States, exclusive of the Great Lakes, each more than 100 sq. miles in area. The areas of a number of these lakes change materially from time to time, owing principally to variations in rainfall. Tulare lake, Cal., for example, at times dries up completely. In a lake with shallow water at the margins, such as the Great Salt Lake, the rise or fall of a foot will very materially increase or diminish the water area. Sq. Mi.

Reports from the mills at Bebford, Mass., are that the Arizona cotton received is the finest ever handled there. Twenty five bales of Pima have been shipped to England, to the Fine Spinners and Doublers association to introduce the variety in competition with the Egyptioan, which, it is understood, has better luster in the finer grades, but lacks the strength and length of the Arizona fiber. With the picking season only just closed, reports have been compiled on the seven fields of Pima cotton in the Tempe district. The acreage was only 252, producing seed for about 5000 acres this season, this to be expanded till all the valley acreage has been changer over from the Yuma variety to Pima. The net average yield for the past season was 499 pounds to the acre, though Cottrell & Packard, on 25 acres averaged 635½ pounds. BIG LAND DEALS California ranch property, in one piece, has just changed hands, the sum involved said to be $2,000,000. This is marked evidence of the confidence of capital, and, as the land is to be cultivated, gives promise of adding materially to the total of state products. Nevertheless, there is a general feeling that the day of the small land holder is approaching. The prosperity that comes from the soil, and which is the basis of all prosperity, is to be attained in fullness only when the soil is made to yield to its ultimate capacity. This may be brought about only by intensive farming involves almost necessarily the Cal. for example, at times dries up completely.

The winning bid was 58.6 cents, about 5 cents above the previous top figures. The lot was about the last of the valley's Pima crop, of the average fine quality of that grade; now recognized as the best on the western continent. Purchase The prosperity that comes from the soil, and which is the basis of all prosperity, is to be attained in fullness only when the soil is made to yield to its ultimate capacity. This may be brought about only by intensive farming involves almost necessarily the ownership of the acres tilled by the man tilling them. So the small farm and not the large farm is the logical unit of operation. One disadvantage of the farm running into the thousands of acres is that it gives no chance to the man of moderate capital. If permitted to work any part of it, it must be in the role of tenant. Statistics prove that this is satisfactory neither to tenant nor to owner. It seems incompatible with human nature that a tenant should regard the land he rents as he would the same land if he held title to it. Perhaps for a considerable time the big farm will be known in California, but in the future in all likelihood the large holdings will be divided and divided again until each portion will be of a size to be worked by one man and sustain one family. Meanwhile it is far better to observe such deals as the one mentioned than to have the land kept in comparative idleness, not contributing more than a moiety of its potential riches.
