WAR STIMULATES CALIFORNIA INDUSTRY NEW PRODUCT OF GREAT VALUE BEING GROWN IN OUR FER-TILE SOIL GOLDEN STATE WILL SUPPLANT GERMANY AND AUSTRIA IN SUPPLYING U. S. WITH BELLADONA Should the plans of Fred Schiffman, millionaire rancher and his father, Rudolph Schiffman, retired physician of Pasadena, succeed, California will take the place of Germany and Austria in the production of belladonna, one of the most necessary medical plants in existence. Right in the heart of Pasadena, on Washington and Lincoln avenues, the Schiffmans have had an acre of ground thoroughly cultivated and Monday, with a force of men, started transplanting the tender shoots from the hothouse following a six months' growth under cover. Since the war started belladonna has become scarce and the supply has been so depleted in Germany and Austria, according to the Schiffmans, that it has been impossible to obtain the medicine for aid of wounded soldiers. This fact, together with a great demand for the article in the United States, started the Schiffmans in their experiments. "eW are just raising the belladon-als common in ore deposits are, in contact with water or with solutions of various salts. The author, Mr. Wells, concludes that the character of the solutions has fully as great an influence on the electric activity developed as the nature of the metallic minerals and that in general acid and oxidizing solutions give the highest potentials and alkaline and reducing solutions the lowest. Economic geologists have long recognized that the solutions in the upper oxidized portion of many ore deposits are acid and oxidizing, while farther down they become neutral or alkaline. Whether such variations and the electric differences dependent upon them are sufficient to cause an appreciable electric current to flow from the upper part of an ore deposit to a lower part or vice versa is still an open question. Surely such action, if it exists, is of relatively minor importance in controlling ore deposition, the main factor being the actual movement of metal bearing solutions from one place to another. Measurements of electrical potential can, however, be quickly and easily made and may prove very useful in indicating the direction and intensity of the chemical reactions of which they are one expression.

This fact, together with a great demand for the article in the United States, started the Schiffmans in their experiments. "eW are just raising the belladonna to benefit mankind," declared Fred Schiffman, "and should we prove successful we hope that California will rapidly awaken to its immense value and productiveness and start making a specialty of belladonna fields." "California would be the greatest botanical place in the world were its possibilities developed and when one comes to think that there is no supply of belladonna in the world to be had now, there ought to be many persons interested in it here. Belladonna enters into every plaster that is made and into all fever and many optical cases. It is one of the most needed medicines in the world. It remains for the United States to start the belladonna fields." According to Schiffman almost $2000 clear profit can be made on each acre planted to belladonna, exclusive of labor and cultivation. Schiffman says the belladonna is valued at $2.25 a pound for the leaf and $2.50 for the root and that an acre will yield half a ton of leaf and 600 pounds of root. The plants, he states, must be started in a hot house and take from six weeks to six months to begin growth, while it is necessary to wait until the frost is out of the ground before transplanting. Dr. Rudolph Schiffman, who lives on Grand and Palmetto avenues, Pasadena, is a retired physician, but the war has started him in a series of experiments in growing medicinal plants that have hitherto been exclusively a German importation. His son, Fred Schiffman, who is helping in the experiments, has a several hundred acre fruit ranch and is noted as a horticulturist. ELECTRIC SCIENCE The marvelous accomplishments in electric science have far surpassed anything that men would have dared to predict in the early days of its development, yet certain prophecies in regard to it have remained unfulfilled. Tourists to be Kept Posted on Conditions in National Forests Beginning early this month the San Francisco office of the forest service will issue weekly reports on the condition of the principal automobile roads in the national forests of California. This information will be obtained from the forest rangers and will be furnished to newspapers, press associations, auto clubs, hotels, and other interested organization by which it will be made available to motorists. The twenty national forests in California comprise more than 19,500,000 acres of land and contain approximately 8,600 miles of road. There are in addition 9,500 miles of trail which make accessible the more remote regions. Many of these roads penetrate large stretches of wild mountain country where thousands of people go each summer to escape the heat of the lower valleys. The present roads are to be supplemented by others, made possible by the federal aid road act, one section of which provides a million dollars a year for ten years for the construction of roads in or near the national forests in all the state. Of this fund a total of $281,751 has been apportioned to California for the fiscal years 1917-1918. To provide an adequate road system for the California national forests the district forester at San Francisco has tentatively estimated that the construction or repair of 837 miles of road would be required. Of this amount 663 miles would be in the national forests and the remainder in the nearby localities. The roads are intended primarily for the purpose of developing the resources of the national forests but would also open up new areas to tourist travel. WORLD'S POTATO CROP The average potato crop of the world is estimated to be some 5,200,000 bushels. Of this amount the undermentioned countries produce on an average of 2,925,000,000 bushels. Complete statistics for the world's crop of 1916 are not available, but from those received it is estimated that the countries named below produced in 1916 only 1,753,500,000 bushels, or 34 per cent of the world's average crop. Bu. in millions 1916 1915 ELECTRIC SCIENCE The marvelous accomplishments in electric science have far surpassed anything that men would have dared to predict in the early days of its development, yet certain prophecies in regard to it have remained unfulfilled. Among theees are the suggestions of some geologists that electric phenomena might play an important part in the formation of ore deposits and that electricity methods might be utilized in prospecting for ore bodies. Both these suggestions, in the light of the growing knowledge of ore deposits and of electricity, appear to be illusions. It is now clear that the great causes of ore deposition are not electric in the ordinary sense and that the electric currents generated in ore deposits are far too small to aid a prospector in discovering ore by their influence on a galanometer or other electric apparatus held in his hands. If however, electricity is denied a leading part in the formation of ore deposits its action can not be excluded entirely. It is well known that many chemical reactions are capable of developing measurable electrical currents, and it should therefore be expected that in places where chemical action is in progress in ore deposits today electric activity should also be detectable. This has indeed been shown to be the case by several experimenters, and miniature batteries can be formed with water for the battery fluid and certain metallic minerals, common in ore deposits as the poles. A report of the U. S. Geological Survey records a series of careful measurements of the electric potentials developed when various metallic minerals. BU.

Nearly $500,000,000 worth of the product of American factories found a market in Russia in the 15 years prior to the opening of the war, and another $500,000,000 worth in the first two years of the war, 1915 and 1916. A compilation by the foreign trade department of the National City bank shows that Russia's total figures of imports from the United States in the period 1900-14 show a total of $468,000,000, while our own figures of exports to Russia show that the annual average in the closing years of that period was almost 150 per cent greater per annum than in the opening part of that period. Our total exorts to Russia in the three year period 1900-02 averaged $11,000,000 per annum, and in the three years 1912-14 averaged over $31,000,000 per annum. Dr. M. M.

Fourth street Santa Ana announced it would be glad to act as a clearing house for people, messages and packages going to the mobilization camp at ArCADia, where Company L of Santa Ana went Saturday to remain for an indefinite time. All autoists contemplating a trip to the ArCADia camp who have an extra seat or seats and are willing to take others who have no means of conveyance or who will carry messages and packages to the soldier boys, are asked to notify the auto club as far in advance of the trip as possible. Anyone wishing to send messages or packages are asked to leave them at the auto club office, and anyone without conveyance wishing to make the trip should notify the club, which will make an effort to bring those going and those wishing to go together so that suitable arrangements for the trip can be made, and will send letters and packages to the camp by the first available auto. dication that prices will go to 15 cents per pound, apricot growers of Orange county promise to fare as well this year as will the bean growers. The county crop will bring growers between $250,000 and $300,000. Buyers are now offering to contract the coming crop at 11 cents per pound, and some growers have taken such contracts. Many of the producers, however, believe that before the harvesting season is over the fruit will advance to 15 cents per pound. Market conditions were never better than they are at this time. Last year's dried fruit has been cleaned up. The market is absolutely bare of this commodity at this time. In a general way, the same condition obtains with reference to other dried fruits. Quotations of the future will be governed to some extent by crop conditions in other apricot growing centers. Reports from the Santa Clara and San Joaquin valleys are to the effect that the yield will be about 75 per cent of normal. In the Lankersheim district, it is reported that the crop is a total failure, frost being responsible for the failure. In Orange county cots have set so thick that many will be crowded off the trees as the fruit develops. One fourth of the stand could be lost and still have a normal yield. In fact, many of the growers will probably resort to thinning. Neither the heavy rains nor the frost at the time the trees were in blossom did any damage in Orange county. In the northern sections, the predicted shortage is due to frost. It may be that the growers in those sections have underestimated that yield, and should that prove to be true, the expected offers of 15 cents per pound may not materialize. The tonnage in Orange county will be right around 1100 tons of dried cots which in about the same yield made by dropping the fruit into swift currents of water, the light frosted fruit rising to the surface before it reaches the separating screens while the heavy undamaged fruit is carried under the screens. These machine are guaranteed to make a close separation of the damaged and undamaged fruit. Many housese pack the best grades from the machines under their best regular brands. WHAT OUR SCHOOLS COST In a pertinent and well considered article, the first of a series written by Wilford E. Talbert, director of reference and research for the Oakland public schools, presents figures showing that whereas the school costs of kindergarten, elementary and secondary schools in California were $7,232,-287 in 1903, they were $23,285,724 in 1915, an increase of $16,053,437, or 211.9 per cent. The cost of permanent improvements for these schools in 1903 was $937,879, and in 1915 it was $8,-406,238, an increase of $7,468,359, or 796.3 per cent. While, on the one hand, these figures do not include overhead charges for state and county school offices, on the other hand they do not, of course, take note of the growth in school attendance, or the other factors involved in the increased expenditures. They merely tell the financial story of cost not of cause. Mr. Talbert also supplies a drawing, showing the trend of cost of all kindergarten, elementary and high schools in the state since 1900, and in explaining it says that whereas such cost "in 1915 was $23,000,000; it may be $37,-000,000 in 1920; $59,000,000 in 1925 and $96,000,000 by 1930." The writer believes, however, that in future the expansion of cost of these schools will be less rapid, the increases of the past fifteen years hav- THIS COUNTRY NEED NOT FEAR BLOCKADES The United States occupies the enviable position of being entirely self-sustaining so far as necessary foodstuffs are concerned. That too, is its fortunate position with respect to most other articles that enter into general consumption. To a greater extent than any other country "business as usual" would be the rule during a state of war. The United States will suffer a minimum of discomfort so far as the absolute necessities are concerned. It produces in excess of its own needs. It would be impossible for an enemy to reduce this country to the state of privation that is the plight of England and the lot of Germany. Isolation protracted during a series of years of war could not "starve out" America. War is horrible in contemplation, but the people of the United States can view the prospect without those fears or apprehensions wherewith other countries entertain the prospect of hostilities. We produce 23 billion lbs. of meat, and import less than 1 million pounds. We produce nearly 2 billion pounds of butter; the imports are negligible. The production of cheese products reaches 300 million pounds; imports but 30 million. Only 1 million dozen eggs are imported as against 2 billion dozen of domestic production. The crops of corn and wheat are reckoned in billions of bushels and provide a surplus for export. All the rice we need soon will be home grown. The normal production of potatoes, sweet and Irish, exceeds 450 million bushels, as against imports of 200,000 bushels. Our fisheries contribute a billion pounds to the food of the people; imports are hardly worth mentioning. Our sugar production does not meet out needs, being but 2 billion pounds, but Cuba's crop fills our requirements and Cuba is so near that we may reckon nor the frost at the time the trees were in blossom did any damage in Orange county. In the northern sections, the predicted shortage is due to frost. It may be that the growers in those sections have underestimated that yield, and should that prove to be true, the expected offers of 15 cents per pound may not materialize. The tonnage in Orange county will be right around 1100 tons of dried cots, which is about the usual yield. However hundreds of acres of trees have been grubbed up within the last year, and the less acreage producing the average tonnage tells the story of the crop set on the trees. KEEP A LOOK OUT FOR BOGUS GOLD COIN Swindler Has Been Operating in Santa Ana and May Come Here Merchants of Santa Ana who Saturday night found bogus $5 gold pieces in their tills in cashing up their receipts can attribute their appearance to a smooth swindler who operated in the city. So far as has been reported to the officers, the man passed one piece and fell down on another attempt to exchange the bogus coin for good money. About 4 o'clock in the afternoon he went to the Orange County Ignition Work at the corner of Fifth and Spurgeon and bought a light bulb for 75 cents and received the difference in silver. Earl Matthews, proprietor waited on the swindler and took the bad money. A half hour later he discovered that the gold piece was counterfeit and notified the police. About 6 o'clock the swindler went to the Mercereau grocery at 1502 West Fifth street, where he bough a bill of goods amounting to 40 cents. He tendered a gold piece to Lester Pearson who waited on him. Pearson, after giving him the change, discovered that the piece was bogus. The man had not had time to leave the store and Pearson called him to the counter and told him the gold piece was counterfeit. The change was returned. The fellow had said that Mrs. Green had sent him to the store to make the purchase and gave him the gold piece. When cornered, he said: "I will have to go back to Mrs. Green and get the change, as I have none with me." That was the last store story of cost not of cause. Mr. Talbert also supplies a drawing, showing the trend of cost of all kindergarten, elementary and high schools in the state since 1900, and in explaining it says that whereas such cost "in 1915 was $23,000,000, it may be $37,-000,000 in 1920, $59,000,000 in 1925 and $96,000,000 by 1930." The writer believes, however, that in future the expansion of cost of these schools will be less rapid, the increases of the past fifteen years having been due largely to developments for which little if any foundation had been laid. The gerat cause of increase he finds to have been the high school, and in that connection he adds this explanatory word: "Fifteen years ago, only children of the cities had easy access to schools beyond the 8th grade. Today even most of the country districts have good high school, or are provided with transportation to good schools where tutition is free. In the light of this new and expensive addition to our public school system, therefore, we may expect that the rate of increasing costs will slow down as the new schools are established." BRIEF ITEMS The total bonded indebtedness of the state, county and city governments in California is $253,000,000 according to official figures, or $84.33 per capita. The taxpayers in the city, county and state governments of California are paying $11,000,000 per annum simply as interest on bonds. This amounts to $3.66 ter capital for the entire population. From 1907 to 1916, according to official reports, the total county taxes levied in California increased from $22,145,000 to $47,054,399, or 112.48 per cent. In 1912-13 the county taxes levied were $34,678,183. The incerase in this year was 56.59 per cent over 1907, and the increase in 1916 over 1912-13 amounted to 35.69 per cent. Between 1912 and 1916 the assessed value or non-operative property, against which these taxes are levied, increased a shade less than 18 per cent. Following the defeat by the voters of a proposed new county charter, the board of supervisors of Lake county have announced that they propose to consolidate the office of tax collector with that of sheriff and to combine the offices of recorder and treasurer. Bills have been introduced in the legislature The sugar production does not meet out needs, being but 2 billion pounds, but Cuba's crop fills our requirements and Cuba is so near that we may reckon it practically a part of the United States. A little condensed milk is imported, but the domestic milk production meets every demand upon it. If supplies of coffee from over seas were cut off Porto Rico and Mexico presently would supply us, and tea may yet finds its place among American products. It has been cultivated with success in South Carolina. Fruits of all kinds and vegetables we produce in abundance. The shock of war closes the doors of commerce and blocks the channels of trade. Mistress of the seas though she is, Great Britain is hard put to it to feed her people. The blockade has imposed frightful hardships upon the German people. For lack of coal and food Italy nears exhaustion and France endures privation. Unlike any of the countries now at war, the United States is self contained. Our people can view the future in this respect without apprehension, and, indeed, with composure. While not delightful as is the prospect of peace, it yet contains no menace of starvation—no threat of even hinder.

This is the second one finished last month. The first being in the house of the McRae Fruit company, also at Rialto. The improved dryer is an evolution of many years' work to meet the demand of the packing house men for a dryer of fruit. The improvement consists in utilizing the return flight of the endless belt of rollers to carry the fruit under the fans for a second time. Thus without any extra room being required, the fruit is exposed to the drying blast of air for just twice the length of time. The same two houses and two others in Rialto are equipped with Parker's Frostless Fruit Separator, which separates the good fruit from the bad and the indifferent. Three grades can be made, the good, the bad and a middle grade containing fruit equal to the best of the poorest and the poorest of the best grade. The separation is that the piece was bogus.

After Matthews reported his experience with the swindler to the police, City Marshal Jernigan notified a number of businessmen that he was operating in the city. The policemen on the streets were also notified.

SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY TESTING SUGAR BEETS Several Hundred Acres Will be Grown For Huntington Beach This Year San Bernardino county is making a test of growing sugar beets, and if this year's crop proves a success a factory will probably be built in that city. "In view of this discussion with reference to the securing of a beet sugar factory in San Bernardino, it may be of interest to know that between 500 and 600 acres of sugar beets are to be grown in the valley this year," said Secretary Kneedler of the chamber of commerce.
