USING BEANS FOR SUMMER COVER CROP Orange County Ranchers Getting Profit In Two Ways Beans for summer cover crop in ninety acres of Valencias, and mellotus for winter are adding fertility to the soil of the thrifty three-and-a-half-year-old orchard belonging to the Carrol ranch in Orange county, says the Pacific Rural Press. The bean straw is plowed into the heavier soil. Last July the Carrols sold 610 sacks of the 1915 lima beans at the high price of $6.35 per 100 pounds, a cash income from the ninety acres of $3,873, or about $43 an acre. Some 40 or 50 sacks were sold for seed and 23 sacks kept for 1916 seed. "It's good trees we are after," says one of the Carroll brothers, "but the beans not only add fertility and improve texture of the heavier spots, but they help along with the expenses." The trees will be too big next season, however to grow a cultivated intercrop. They are uniform, vigorous, with large dark green leaves. The bean crop in 1916 was only 295 bags, due to wire worms and fewer rows between the trees. The orchard is set in 24-foot squares. On 30 acres there were in 1915 six rows of beans 33 inches apart, in each center, leaving them four feet from the trees. On 60 acres there were only four rows. In 1916 there were three rows in part and four in the rest. The 1915 crop was planted about May 10, using about 40 bags of seed. The crop was cultivated twice, irrigated in July, cultivated, and then laid by, for the vines prevented further cultivation. Meanwhile the oranges were irrigated by furrows outside the beans in the usual way and neither interfered seriously with the other.

YORBA ESTATE HEARING BEFORE SUPREME COURT Descendant Still Fighting for a Portion of Spanish Grant The fight of Mrs. Beatrice A. Yorba-Arnaiz Johnson of Los Angeles for the re-opening of the estate of her grandfather, Bernardo Yorba, Sr., who died on November 20, 1858, was up before the supreme court Thursday on an appeal from the superior court denying the re-opening of the ancient estate. The property involved in the action lies along the Santa Ana canyon in the Yorba and Peralta sections, and northeastward into part of Riverside and San Bernardino counties. Following the hearing last week, it was agreed that argument would be THE PAPER OUT The secretary of agriculture Houston, on March 18 following statement: Conditions in the have constituted one olois of our domestic pity the last year. Due to prices charged for new profits of the great dale wiped out entirely or a minimum, while their were brought face to pension and even absolical publishers have badly, the profits in many changed to losses, and per of every kind has and bounds. The federal trade brought some measure On 60 acres there were only four rows. In 1916 there were three rows in part and four in the rest. The 1915 crop was planted about May 10, using about 40 bags of seed. The crop was cultivated twice, irrigated in July, cultivated, and then laid by, for the vines prevented further cultivation. Meanwhile the oranges were irrigated by furrows outside the beans in the usual way and neither interfered seriously with the other. In September the vines were cut with a sled cutter, dried and threshed late in the month at a cost of 20 cent per sack for the machine, besides the hauling which brought the cost 10 cents higher. Sacks cost Mr. Carroll 7½ cent each. Winter Cover Crop: When visited the Carroll ranch late in September, 1916, they were irrigating by flooding. They expected to spring tooth it both ways three or four days after irrigation, broadcast mellilotus, harrow it in, and then ridge at least one way for irrigation. Unless rain should come early, an irrigation would be given in October, and if desirable to delay plowing in the spring, they would be able to irrigate at any desirable time. HOG RAISING OFFERS OPPORTUNITY FOR WEALTH California's Supply of Beef Cattle Almost Exhausted, is Report Warning that California's supply of beef cattle is almost exhausted, that there are but few marketable swine in the state, and that because of lack of interest by breeders there is a scarcity of horses and mules, is contained in a report to the state council of defense by the state veterarian. According to the report compiled by state investigators, hog raising in California offers an opportunity for wealth. So great has been the demand that in many cases, when heretofore unheard of prices were offered, many ranchers sold their breeding stock. Through the committee on resources and food supplies, the state council of defense is urging ranchers to go back to stock breeding, not only of hogs but also of cattle, horses and mules. GIRL WINS IN HOG CONTEST The Imperial Valley's first annual hog raising contest, held the middle of March, was a very interesting affair, father, Bernardo Yorba, Sr., who died on November 20, 1858, was up before the supreme court Thursday on an appeal from the superior court denying the re-opening of the ancient estate. The property involved in the action lies along the Santa Ana canyon in the Yorba and Peralta sections, and northeastward into part of Riverside and San Bernardino counties. Following the hearing last week, it was agreed that argument would be submitted on briefs. This case has come up frequently in the last year, since the contest was started. From the first, the local title companies have declared that the chances that any of the present titles would be in the least disturbed by the proceedings were exceedingly remote. Decisions in both Los Angeles and Orange counties quickly put the case off the boards in those courts, and those opposing the proceedings are confident that the supreme court can find nothing upon which to base a reversal. Thomas H. Wright is asking that he be appointed administrator of the old estate. Bernardo Yorba, Sr., was one of the heirs of what in the early days in Southern California was known as Rancho Santiago de Santa Ana, containing 62,500 acres. This was a grant from the King of Spain to Jose Antonio Yorba and Juan Pablo Peralta. He also owned real estate in San Bernardino county. Yorba's will, distributing his real and personal property, was filed December 9, 1858, and Ramunde Yorba, Prudencia Yorba and Leonardo Coto were named as executors under the will. The report of the executors shows that the value of all property owned by Bernardo Yorba, Sr., was in excess of $300,000. In the schedule of assets of the deceased was one item bequeathing the wild horses on the estate to certain of his heirs. Mrs. Johnson alleges that she has never received her share of the real estate bequeathed to her father, Bernardo Yorba, Jr., and asks an order of court in that behalf. THE CHILD'S VOCATION Do you wish your child to be happy? If there is something that he has shown a strong interest in for a number of years give him a chance to play with it or study or work at it to the fullest possible extent. Let him have also broad training, culture, accomplishments charged for new profits of the great dale wiped out entirely or owed a minimum while these were brought face to pension and even absolutional publishers have badly, the profits in many changed to losses, and per of every kind has been bound. The federal trade commission brought some measure of newspaper publishers. It has been freed from having been made to best position to the cost of pre-eminent equitable systems. It has been devised so that lows will get their fair manufactured product. Inquiry of the commission artificial control, it does that there is almost an equal between supply and demand industry. In 1914 we used about news print every day. It has reached 6,000 tons; demand appears to be rate of 10 per centially faster than its inflation. To supply our news print requires an 000,000 cords of pulp for our requirements for book paper; stationery papers of all forms; wall papers; cardboard; like, 4,000,000 corrugated wood are consumed and tension barely keeps pace sumption. For instant demand for news six months of 1917 is against this is placed supply of 930,000 tons. As if this close be peril enough, there is that the United States Canada for a third of paper, either in the form or raw material portion is increasing rapidness of economic conduction of foresight in cutting so depleted the availability of pulp woods in per manufacturing stand not enough left to last or 15 years.

This 000 cords, and for all purposes we use but 7,000,000 GIRL WINS IN HOG CONTEST The Imperial Valley's first annual hog raising contest, held the middle of March, was a very interesting affair. Miss Barbara Leach of Westmoreland carried off first prize with 54 contestants. Miss Leach is a school girl 18 years old, yet she has proved herself the most successful hog raiser in the Imperial Valley. She wan both in the profit per hog and in the increase in weight since the contest began. She has shown the older hog raisers of the valley that it does not pay to put a pig on alfalfa and rolled barley alone. She made a profit per hog of $7.55 by feeding ground milo malze, tankage and alfalfa. The cost of feeding under this method per pound of gain was 6 cents. She has been offered 14 cents per pound for her herd of Durocs and has made more than 100 per cent by studying the feeding of hogs. Miss Leach started last year to keep accounts of what it cost to feed per pound of gain. She found that by feeding rolled barley and alfalfa pasture, it cost her 7.6 cents per pound the pig gained, the profit per hog being $1.95. She next tried rolled barley, cocoanut meal, and alfalfa. This cost 6.7 cents per pound of gain. The profit on these hogs was $4.37. Then she tried her present method which put her in the lead as a hog raiser in the Imperial Valley.

If there is something that he has shown a strong interest in for a number of years give him a chance to play with it or study or work at it to the fullest possible extent. Let him have also broad training, culture, accomplishments, if you can. But don't force him from his own right of way upon any sliding of your own fancy. When he gets ready to choose his calling insist that the main issue is that he shall be able to shout every morning with Marcus Aurelius, "Lo, I am going with gladness to that work for which I was born into this world." He may decide to become a barber, when you wanted him to be a minister. Well, he had better be a good and happy barber than a discouraged minister. For "happy is the man who has found his work." One of the results of the school election at San Juan Capistrano last Friday was the appointment of E. D. Elson as a trustee to fill a vacancy. Previous to the election, County School Superintendent Mitchell stated that he would appoint to the place whoever got the second highest vote at the election at which the term end vacancy would be filled. O. Woodward got the highest vote, and aws regularly elected. Elson was second. In Savanna district Mrs. E. L. Gridley was elected a trustee; Newport, E. M. Redmond; La Habra, E. E. Proud; Katella, W.

Im High School April 27, '17 ion, 25c. THE NEW GRAND "THE GIRL IN THE CHECKERED COAT" FRIDAY AND SATURDAY Dorothy Phillips scores a decided triumph in her dual portrayal of the Graham sisters. As a test of versatility nothing severer could well be imagined than the presentation of two character studies so widely different, and Miss Phillips' undoubted success adds fresh lustre to the laurels already possessed by this charming and clever star of screendom. In many respects her work in this feature will be hailed as the best offering she has yet made to the films. The toughness of Fan and innocence of Mary are set forth in such easy natural fashion that both characters make a strong appeal to the audience, with the result that the story moves smoothly from beginning to end and carries conviction in every reel. William Stowell figures as a remarkably attractive hero and Lon Chaney has never shown to better advantage than in the role of the villainous Hector Maitland. The cast as a whole is a decidedly capable one and the action of the play never flags. The death of Mrs. Graham leaves her two little daughters in the custody of their father, a man of criminal tendencies. Mary flees from her evil surroundings and becomes a shop girl, while Fannie remains with her father and develops into an expert pickpocket. At Christmas time Fannie steals a woman's purse and buys a checkered coat, slipping the empty purse into the pocket of another coat hanging nearby. The store detective suspects her and she is searched, but no evidence forthcoming, is discharged. Meanwhile Mary Graham, working behind the counter faints from exhaustion would give us a fair profit is surely coming to us, and if the raise doesn't come pretty soon some of us will have to close up shop." TAXPAYERS' LEAGUE AGAIN REVERSES ITSELF Repudiates Action of Executive Committee on Coast Road Proposition At the meeting of the Orange County Taxpayers' League Saturday a reversal was reversed. By a vote of 13 to 7, the league refused to ratify the action of its executive committee in approving a state appropriation for a coast road along the shores of Ventura, Los Angeles and Orange counties. A month ago the league at its regular monthly meeting passed a unanimous resolution against the proposal that $500,000 be appropriated by the state for the coast road. A few days later Governor Stephens in his war message to the state legislature declared emphatically in favor of coast roads as a matter of defense. The executive committee of the league was immediately called, and by a vote withdrew the leagues' objections to the coast road plan. Saturday A. A. Mills of Anaheim moved that the league refuse to concur in the action of its executive committee. He said the necessity of the road as a military adjunct would be gone before the road would be finished. "As a member of the executive committee," said D. G. Cole, "I voted to reverse the league's action. Every citizen should stand by the governor in doing the thing the governor believes is necessary for defense." Jackman said the bill presented to the legislature appropriates $500,000 for the coast road without any reference to a fifty-fifty proposition with the counties, and federal aid was looked for in building the road. The federal trade commission has brought some measure of relief to the newspaper publishers. Competition has been freed from restraint, prices have been made to bear a closer relation to the cost of production, and a more equitable system of distribution has been devised so that the little fellows will get their fair shars of the manufactured product. But, while the inquiry of the commission developed artificial control, it developed also that there is almost an equal balance between supply and demand in the paper industry. In 1914 we used about 5,000 tons of news print every day. Our present use has reached 6,000 tons a day and the demand appears to be increasing at the rate of 10 per cent a year, materially faster than the increase in population. To supply our presses with news print requires annually about 3,000,000 cords of pulp wood. To meet our requirements for magazine and book paper, stationery and business papers of all forms, wrapping papers, wall papers, cardboard, fiber board and the like, 4,000,000 cords more of pulp wood are consumed annually. Production barely keeps pace with this consumption. For instance, the estimated demand for news print for the first six months of 1917 is 888,000 tons. Against this is placed an estimated supply of 930,000 tons. As if this close balance was not peril enough, there is the added fact that the United States depends upon Canada for a third of its news print paper, either in the form of finished product or raw material. This proportion is increasing rapidly. The pressure of economic conditions and lack of foresight in cutting the forests have so depleted the available private supply of pulp woods in many of the paper manufacturing states that there is not enough left to last more than 10 or 15 years. The forest service has estimated the pulp wood in the national forests at 300 billion feet. This means 600,000,000 cords, and for all paper of all kinds we use but 7,000,000 cords a year. Mary flees from her evil surroundings and becomes a shop girl, while Fannie remains with her father and develops into an expert pickpocket. At Christmas time Fannie steals a woman's purse and buys a checkered coat, slipping the empty purse into the pocket of another coat hanging nearby. The store detective suspects her and she is searched, but no evidence forthcoming, is discharged. Meanwhile Mary Graham, working behind the counter faits from exhaustion and is sent home to her humble lodging. It happens that Fan also rooms in the house and she is observed by a policeman in the act of picking a woman's pocket as the later enters an automobile. Fan escapes into the house, but knows that she is being followed. Opening a door between her room and the next apartment, she finds Mary Graham lying on the floor unconscious, she having fainted again. Fan trades clothes with the senseless girl, arraying her in the checkered coat. When the officers arrive they arrest Mary and take her to the station. Attorney David Norman undertakes Mary's defense and she is acquitted. Mary has a letter introduction from her mother to a Miss Maitland, a wealthy spinster and dispenser of charity. The Latter's nephew and lawyer, Hector Maitland, has repeatedly refused to allow Mary to see his rich relative. Norman succeeds in introducing Mary to Miss Maitland, and the wealthy lady takes her to live with her. Hector Maitland places Fan as a maid with his aunt, and the thief steals Miss Maitland's jewels in such a manner as to throw suspicion on Mary. But David Norman frustrates the plot, Mary's innocence is made clear and Fan goes to jail. David marries Mary, while Fan sinks lower in the social scale. CHARLEY CHAPLIN Charley Chaplin, the biggest drawing card in moviesom, is also billed for the Grand Friday and Saturday. He appears in "The Bank," one of his greatest stunts.

BAKERS MUST RAISE PRICE OF BREAD Orange County Association Declares. "As a member of the executive committee," said D. G. Cole, "I voted to reverse the league's action. Every citizen should stand by the governor in doing the thing the governor believes is necessary for defense." Jackman said the bill presented to the legislature appropriates $500,000 for the coast road without any reference to a fifty-fifty proposition with the counties, and federal aid was looked for in building the road. "I think it is a political scheme to scare the people into building this road," said De Witt. "If the Federal government needs this road it will build it." L. A. Sweet said the executive committee should have waited and let the league act. "That $500,000 will be the start, and we will pay the rest," said he. William Feldner said he was against reversing the league's first action. Jesse Dinsmore was against the action of the executive committee. Robert Hazard, a member of the executive committee, said he favored the project as a government policy and because the bill was not a fifty-fifty bill. Goldickson said he was in favor of staying with the governor. John Boose very clearly declared that if the proposition was advanced by the governor of the state under the present circumstances, the league should not oppose the plan. A rising vote was taken, and Mills' motion carried. Mills was appointed as a committee to go before the Board of Supervisors and ask that steps be taken to get a county charter. ELECTRICITY TO HELP AGRICULTURE A notable experiment of applying electricity to agriculture is being tried on a farm at Herford, England, where at the request of the development commissioners, 50 acres of land have been placed under electro culture. A Herford paper has published an interesting interview with Mr. W. J. Kerr, the city electrical engineer, who told the paper's correspondent that within a measurable length of time the country would be able to produce all the food it required. There need be no more bad years, he said, dull days will be electricity's opportunity. Mr. Kerr explained that to use electricity in bright sunshine would be wasteful as The forest service has estimated the pulp wood in the national forests at 300 billion feet. This means 600,000,000 cords, and for all paper of all kinds we use but 7,000,000 cords a year. There are other large supplies of pulp wood on privately owned lands in the West. These western raw materials are much cheaper than the woods now used by paper mills in the northeast. While pulp wood stumpage in the northern states costs from $2.50 to $5 per cord standing in the forest, first class western timbers are available at prices ranging from 25 cents to $1.50 per cord. Long distance transportation and the large investments tied up in paper plants necessarily will retard the westward expansion or migration of this industry; but unquestionably it should afford one means of increasing the production of paper to keep pace with current demands. ANIMALS' SPEED It is believed that no animal has ever exceeded the speed which can be attained by the horse: Instantaneous photographs of one famous specimen showed the full length of a complete stride to be about 26 feet. The hare has not in reality the speed of a dog. The dog, on the other hand, does not attain the speed of the horse. The giraffe is said to run at the rate of 15 yards per second under the most favorable conditions. The elephant, going at the rate of two yards a second, carries a weight approximating to that carried by six horses. PATRIOTIC NIGHT Tonight is one of the big patriotic nights. Pennants on canes, silk flags for coat lapels will be given away free. No increase in price of admission. BAKERS MUST RAISE PRICE OF BREAD Orange County Association Declares They are Losing Money Bakers of Orange county must raise their prices to afford them a fair margin of profit, or quit. Most of the bake shops are losing money at the present prices. Some of them will have to raise or quit. That is the present situation among local bakers, as unanimously agreed upon at a meeting of all the county bakers, when first steps toward formation of a county association of bakers was taken. A committee of three was appointed to keep tab on the situation, and what Los Angeles firms are doing and this committee will report at another meeting to be held next Tuesday night. While no raise will probably be made on local bread until like raises are put in force by the big city bakers, everything else turned out by the local shops either has raised or is due for an immediate jump in price. If present plans go through, 10c loaves of bread will go to either 12c or 15c, and the 5c loaves will go to 6c, 7c or 8c. "We have held off as long as we could," said one baker, "but the prices of all shortening, butter and flour are higher than ever before and if it is not a case of swapping dollars it is a case of continual loss to continue the present prices. A raise which missioners, 50 acres of land have been placed under electro culture. A Herford paper has published an interesting interview with Mr. W. J. Kerr, the city electrical engineer, who told the paper's correspondent that within a measurable length of time the country would be able to produce all the food it required. There need be no more bad years, he said, dull days will be electricity's opportunity. Mr. Kerr explained that to use electricity in bright sunshine would be wasteful, as it would over accelerate the growth of the plants so treated and cause them to shrivel. The current would have to be applied before the sun rose or after sunset, or it might even be applied all night if necessary. In a conservatory were to be seen boxes of seeds of cauliflowers, cabbages and leeks demonstrating the effect of electro-culture. Some of the seeds, though only planted five days previously showed a healthy green blade an inch above the soil, while normally no blade would have showed at all. In explanation, Mr. Kerr said that electricity split up the lions from the atmosphere and thus enabled plant growth to abstract the nitrogen, adding that the more manure that was put on the soil the better the electrical results would be. If the ground was well treated, he explained, the crop would be increased a hundredfold. Mr. Kerr confessed that rain was their only enemy unconquered so far, but they meant to overcome it, because they believed the results would be better still if they could apply the current during a rain storm. They were only at the beginning of things yet. With electro culture three years ago, he declared, there would have been no need for food rules and rations. Three years hence, he remarked, we shall wonder why we slept. The possibilities are boundless.
