It is proposed to finish this survey in two weeks from Monday, April 16th, and to this end numerous bodies of men will be actively engaged therein. Hearings will be held in each county and the general plan to be followed will be to hold first an executive session of the board of enquirers, in the forenoons. To this session a limited number of people, well posted on conditions in their regions, will be invited, and their advice and counsel sought. In the afternoons, open meetings will be held and the whole situation, so far as state food and resources are concerned, will be discussed, and advice given as to proper action in the region. This advice will be based on the facts that may be developed in the various discussions. This is an emergency matter and the cordial cooperation of every individual and every organization in each community is necessary that the work may be effective, the facts gathered reliable, and the widest publicity given the advice of the experts.

In addressing a patriotic mass meeting at San Francisco last week, Governor Stephens not only declared that he had always been a strong advocate of keeping the California National guard out of all labor disputes, but that the present state legislature should enact a law which would prevent its use for strike duty. In part he said: "The main reason why our national guard was not long ago filled up to its full strength was because the guardsman might be compelled to take up arms against his brother in case of industrial labor dispute. The strike duty provision, to my mind, has been a bar to many of the strongest, bravest and most patriotic men in our state and nation." "The state council of defense last week, by unanimous vote, adopted a resolution urging the state legislature to eliminate this objectionable strike duty obligation of national guardsmen. I sincerely trust that our state lawmakers will act upon this recommendation, making it immediately operative. If such an act comes before me, I will sign it immediately." MILITIA MEN PENSIONED BY U. S. GOVERNMENT Incorporation in the bill to pension certain veterans of the Indian wars, which passed at the last session of congress and was signed by the President on March 4th, a few minutes before the expiration of his first term, with provisions for the pensioning of the state militia, as well as members of the regular army which participated in the campaigns against hostile Indians on the Western Frontier. This bill has an interesting history, dating back to a meeting in Denver on Thanksgiving day, 1909. On New Year's day, 1910 a permanent organization was formed and Henry Hegwer was elected commander in chief. On taking his oath of office, Mr. Hegwer heavily prevailed up of the soil. The quintessentially disgusting nature of his actions led to fine and already broken up. The following are garden specialists who would continue in the garden simply to fine and already broken up.

On New Year's day, 1910 a permanent organization was formed and Henry Hegwer was elected commander in chief. On taking his oath of office, Mr. Hegwer took a solemn obligation never to give up until congress passed a bill to reward these soldiers who endured such hardships under conditions which were never equaled in any other warfare in the history of this country. The carrying out of his solemn promise to his comrades has necessitated Mr. Hegwer's coming to Washington on three different occasions since he had the bill introduced in 1910. After the passage of the bill, Mr. Hegwer found that so much remained to be done in order to secure individual justice to his comrades that he has moved the headquarters of the United Indian War Veterans to 608 3rd street, Washington, D. C., and is giving his time and advising and keeping all veterans of these campaigns—regardless of whether they are affiliated with his organization or not—posted on their status under this bill and is furnishing copies of the same free of charge to all who apply. Orange held a patriotic demonstration Friday at which 4000 people participated. A flag pole was raised on the plaza from the apex of which Old Glory waves. Patriotic speeches were made by local people, and the newly-organized Orange band furnished the music. Dr. M. M. Henderson, Dentist, Suite 1, Mullinix Bldg., Anaheim.

HOME GARDEN HINTS Vegetable seed for planting should be ordered at once, so as to be on hand as soon as the weather and condition of the soil make planting possible. Before ordering seed the home gardener would do well to look over his garden plot, decide on the best location for each vegetable, and determine how much seed he will require for the space available for each variety. He will find it helpful to make a rough plan of his garden on a large sheet of wrapping paper. On this plan he can indicate the spaces to be used for each variety and also by means of colored pencils or symbols show where a second crop is to be planted or interplanted between growing rows and also arrange for the second and third crops which are to follow those previously harvested. Such a plan will enable him to keep the garden busy all season, supplying fresh vegetables during the summer and producing in the late fall root and other crops for winter use. Once the heavy preliminary spading and working of the garden has been done it is about as easy to raise two or three crops as to keep the garden clean of weeds to produce only one picking. The specialists advise those who are not used to gardening or wish to have their children take an interest in the garden to hire a laborer to do the heavy preliminary spading or breaking up of the soil. This heavy work frequently disguises novices and children who would continue to take an interest in the garden if their task was simply to fine and cultivate the soil already broken up. The following amounts of seed the garden specialists of the United States department of agriculture say are need ed to plant approximately 100 feet of row, or enough to supply vegetables for a family of four: Home gardner should find useful Farmers' Bulletin 255, Home Vegetable Garden, and Farmers' Bulletin 647, Home Garden in the South. The latter is designed particularly for use in the warmer climates, but contains many suggestions that can readily be adopted by home gardeners in the North. The Department of Agriculture will supply these bulletins free on application as long as its stock of free distribution lasts. PLAN TO UNITE ALL LOYALISTS FOR SERVICE Civilian Patriots to Have Opportunity To Do Their Bit Opportunity for patriotic service to the nation by individuals and organizations throughout the country is thrown open under a plan approved by the secretary of war. The scheme embraces the entire United States, and includes every man or woman who wishes to render service to the nation. The semiofficial channel through which Secretary Baker requests all individuals contemplating the formation of volunteer organizations of any kind to communicate is the National Committee of Patriotic and Defense Societies, which has its headquarters in the Southern building in Washington. The committee, acting as a clearing house for 28 or more patriotic and defense organizations, is coordinating the efforts of these organizations, with a view to system and efficiency and with the purpose of eliminating useless duplication of effort among them. The committee, led by George Wharton Pepper of Philadelphia, and with Lleut. Gen. S. B. M. Young as its honorary chairman, in its formal announcement of the new plan says: "This committee, which was formed above should be considerably increased. The home gardner should find useful Farmers' Bulletin 255, Home Vegetable Garden, and Farmers' Bulletin 647, Home Garden in the South. The latter is designed particularly for use in the warmer climates, but contains many suggestions that can readily be adopted by home gardeners in the North. The Department of Agriculture will supply these bulletins free on application as long as its stock of free distribution lasts." Plans for developing a nation wide volunteer reserve, enrolled by State local committees under a democratic scheme of control, are under way, but of course cannot be fully worked out or announced until congress passes the army bill. The formation of local organizations need not be discouraged in the meantime, for if their leaders will get in touch with us the organization can immediately be utilized as soon as the time comes when a harmonious movement can be begun." QUAIL LIMIT MAY SOON BE CUT DOWN VERY LOW Word has come from Sacramento that a bill reducing the quail bag limit from fifteen per day to ten per week had been introduced by Senator Luce with every likelihood of becoming a law unless sportmen protested it generally. From the stir evident around the places where gunners gather, there will be protesting in plenty. Officials of the state fish and game commission stated that no change was recommended in the quail laws governing Southern California, as their investigations indicated that a larger breeding stock had come through the 1916 shooting season than survived 1915, and that was the best year in several for quail shooting.

Of early Irish potatoes 1 peck to ½ bushel will be required, and of late potatoes ½ to 1 bushel, or more, depending upon the amount of ground available for this purpose. If possible, enough Irish potatoes should be grown to last throughout the winter.

Officials of the state fish and game commission stated that no change was recommended in the quail laws governing Southern California, as their investigations indicated that a larger breeding stock had come through the 1916 shooting season than survived 1915, and that was the best year in several for quall shooting. They say that while quall always are scarce along the highways and close to the large cities, they are plentiful enough a few miles back, and last winter's rains assure this being a good breeding season.

The fish and game that no change in the quail laws California, as their need that a larger come through the men than survived the best year in shooting. They say ways are scarce many more places which report quail gaining rather than showing a decrease. Senator Luce represents San Diego, the northern and eastern parts of which county are plentifully stocked with quail, but around San Diego they are getting scarce except across the line, where no season or limit holds, and bags of several hundred have been made daily in the past. Local shooters say that ten birds is too small a number to warrant men taking long trips, which they are glad to do now when able to ship fifteen birds and bring back fifteen birds with them. So many of the large ranches are posted against all hunting that long trips are needed to reach country, but hunters feel that the decrease of open grounds is protecting the quail enough without discouraging all gunning interest by needlessly strict laws which defeat themselves by throttling down the hunting license income which has to pay for the extra wardens such laws make necessary to keep violators from profiting by the absence of the conscientious sportsmen from the hunting fields. Quall were very plentiful in Ventura county last season, and sportsmen who shoot up the coast reported limit bags quite generally. Limits were shot down Perris way right through the season by experienced huners. In lower Orange county all the shooting was on the larger ranches from which the general public was excluded, but there quail were pelintiful enough for any use. THE BLACK SHEEP Following the announcement of government regulation of foodstuffs there is considerable interest in learning whether this regulation will extend to clothing and other living necessities. An instance where some regulating would be thoroughly appreciated is found in the woolen and cotton industries the consumers in the hollow of their patrician palms. Now our local dealers inform us that another price jump is at hand, and that the quotations on next fall's supply of woolens will force most of us back to the fig leaf. The immediate prospect of the government ordering a million or so uniforms offers the excuse for the coming advancement. The woolen industry in this country is confined almost wholly to the old established mills of New England. The stock in these mills has been in the same families since Colonial days, handed down from generation to generation. It is something of a ceremonial, an honored custom, for the controlling interests of these mills to get together regularly and "fix" the prices and supply. The wholesale dealer cannot place his order for so much of this and so much of that, even at the prices asked. No indeed. Instead, Marshal Field & Co., are informed that they can have just so much of this and just so much of that. Other firms are given similar advice. Take it or leave it, gentlemen. The placing of an embargo on the wool supply of Australia and the prospective government uniform orders perhaps furnish some foundation for unreasonable woolen prices, as this country possibly does not grow enough wool to meet the demands. There is enoug cotton grown in this country, however, to supply any possible demand and the reasons for its dizzy antics are difficult to fathom. Not wishing to cast any asperlons on the old and established houses of Woterspooon, Von Plunk, Ponsonby, etc., some government investigation might help us to understand. The area devoted to the cultivation of tobacco in the United States in 1915 was 1,368,400 acres. The production of tobacco was 1,060,587,000 pounds, and the farm value on December 1.
