PLANT SORGHUMS FOR FEED UNIVERSITY ADVISE Is Better Adapted to the Climate of California Than Corn "Plant sorghums." That is the advice the University of California is giving the farmers of the state. Since two-thirds of what the average American family consumes is of animal origin, the raising of plenty of feed for livestock is one of the great national emergencies. The grain sorghums are better adapted to California climate than corn, and very valuable for feeding farm animals. With irrigation, sorghums may follow grain hay, and sorghums may be planted on irrigated lands as late as June 25. Full information as to how to grow this drought-resisting forage crop is given in a bulletin on "Grain Sorghums" written by Prof. B. A. Madson, just issued by the University of California, and obtainable free by writing to the college of agriculture at Berkeley. Here is some of the good advice on sorghums given by Prof. Madson and by Prof. J. W. Gilmore. Sorghums will grow in hot, dry climates. Sorghums yield grain and forage. Sorghums can be planted on any good average soil, not after May 1, on unirrigated land, but up to June 25 on irrigated land. The seedbed should be prepared thoroughly, with a two inch mulch. For grain, the rows should be planted three and a half feet apart, with the plants four to six inches apart in the rows. For grain, six to eight pounds of seed should be used to the acre; for forage, thirty to forty pounds to the acre. The good should be planted below national forests is estimated at $2,000,-000. On parts of the Angeles National forest the packrats are so abundant that many of the young pines planted by the service have been killed or injured by the rodents. The damage seems to take place chiefly in the late summer and fall and is more extensive in dry than in wet seasons. It is thought that the rats tear off the tender bark of the trees to obtain moisture, at times when water is scarce. CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS Eighteen constitutional amendments passed the recent legislature and will be up to the people at the general election in 1918 for approval or rejection. The two most important come within the scope of humanitarian legislation. One, introduced by Kehoe, paves the way for the establishing by the legislature of a health insurance system along the lines suggested by the state social insurance commission. The aim of the amendment is to insure tollers against the hazards of sickness, the cost of insurance to be divided between employee and the state and benefits to be in accordance with schedules announced by the Social Insurance Commission following a thorough investigation. In effect would amount to an extension of the workmen's compensation act to cover sickness. California is one of the first states to take up this great problem. The other humanitarian amendment was introduced by Luce and proposes to write into the constitution the provisions of the workmen's compensation act. It would vest in the legislature penalty power, unlimited by any provision of the constitution, to enforce a complete system of workmen's compensation, giving compen- mendations are, the elicitation duplications in officials turning local assessment collections over to the county and the appointment of a city treasurer, his being the use, by his barricade city funds. Commenting on the first legislature to submit to the constitutional amendment by the state tax commission would permit lature, by three fourths houses, to change the subject to reference Lyman M. King, writing Facts, views the outcome regret. Referring to the commission's work, and the amendment, which led to the "big measure of therator King writes: "Thus the state's money, with suit, although the inform will undoubtedly be used is unthinkable that our elastic tax system will main." unirrigated land, but up to June 25 on irrigated land. The seedbed should be prepared thoroughly, with a two inch mulch. For grain, the rows should be planted three and a half feet apart, with the plants four to six inches apart in the rows. For grain, six to eight pounds of seed should be used to the acre; for forage, thirty to forty pounds to the acre. The seed should be planted below the mulch, on moist soil. For grain, the best varieties are dwarf, Egyptia ncorn, or feterita. For forage, the best varieties are the Kaffirs or sweet sorghums. Weeds should be kept down around the young plants. The ground should be cultivated to preserve the mulch and to conserve moisture. The sorghums are most economically grown where they can be fed on the land where grown, but the grain has market value as stock food. Dwarf milo germinates under wider range of moisture and temperature conditions than the other sorghums; and is more hardy under adverse soil conditions. It should be planted when there is doubt as to the other varieties, as it is apparently the most generally adaptable. Dwarf milo takes from 100 to 140 days to mature. Feterita is useful where bird damage to other varieties is expected, and where the soil is in poorer condition as to moisture and temperature, and for planting in May, but it is less hardy than other varieties. The blackbird is the most destructive pest of the grain sorghums. Egyptian corn is useful for late planting where the milestone supply is very deficient and where forage is of little importance, but it is not so hardy as milo and is more subject to shattering. Indian corn is less adaptable to California climate than the grain sorghums and requires warm and humid temperature and irrigation. It is most economically used as silage and as food for cattle. Sudan grass is useful where there is not enough moisture to produce sorghums. It produces forage at less expense than corn or sorghums. It yields an annual crop on land that would otherwise have to be summer fallowed, and is suitable for land where alfalfa cannot be grown because of the character of the soil or would amount to an extension of the workmen's compensation act to cover sickness. California is one of the first states to take up this great problem. The other humanitarian amendment was introduced by Luce and proposes to write into the constitution the provisions of the workmen's compensation act. It would vest in the legislature penalty power, unlimited by any provision of the constitution, to enforce a complete system of workmen's compensation, giving compensation to all injured workmen irrespective of the fault of any party and making adequate provision for health, safety and general welfare of all workmen and those dependent upon them. Two of the constitutional amendments deal with exemption of certain property from taxation. Under Statterwhite's measure property of certain cemeteries not conducted for profit would be exempt; under Lyon's property of Young Men's and Young Women's Christian Associations would be exempt. Another amendment by Lyon clears the way for reimbursement by the state to cities for taxes lost on account of exemptions from taxation. Constitutional amendments introduced by Kehoe and Carlson deal with appellate courts. Kehoe's provides for two divisions of the San Francisco and Los Angeles appellate districts so that there would be three more justices in each district. Carlson's proposes to place in the hands of the legislature the whole business of creating, changing, or abolishing appellate districts and of increasing or decreasing the number of justices. A two-thirds vote of each branch of the legislature would be necessary. Two constitutional amendments that were voted down in 1915 will be again put before the people. Evans introduced the one under which the state, counties and cities, in securing land by condemnation may acquire more than the amount actually needed for use in the improvement. Tyrell sponsored the other, relating to the deposit of public moneys. It is proposed to give the legislature power to enact an "absent voters" law under the constitutional amendment fathered by Ambrose. The establishment of municipal court in the framing of charters is dealt with in Egsward's constitutional amendment. One by Gebhart will make it possible for the state and its political subdivisions to take immediate action. RAISING HOUSE Plans through which every city and town in Canada be utilized in the rails which are badly needed by the country's depleted railroad are being worked out by council of defense. According to information from the council by Dr. J. Health officer of Los Angeles of dollars worth of gas to waste in California by the failure of municipal refuse for hog feeding or garbage can be handled by sanitary way and that hogs could be raised wasted material, is the Dr. Pomeroy. Data compiled by the defense shows that larger cities of the stateinerators for burning and that thousands of refuse, available for hooses are destroyed daily. Several offers have been made to collect all general of the larger charge to the taxpayer service, and to maintain farms which would be such a sanitary maneuver to them could be provided by the California's association. At a convention to ramebo this month, gates from all over the present, the subject ofomy, food supply and which will aid in connonia's present food supply caused by experts. An ens will be Dr. Thomas of the university of Californi acting chairman of their resources and food a council of defense. Through the Parent citation, it is expected that defense will be carried out every home in California forts to teach housewives. Sudan grass is useful where there is not enough moisture to produce sorghums. It produces forage at less expense than corn or sorghums. It yields an annual crop on land that would otherwise have to be summer fallowed, and is suitable for land where alfalfa cannot be grown because of the character of the soil or the lack of water for irrigation. This advice to plant sorghums is part of the work the University of California is doing to aid the committee on resources and food supply of the state council of defense in its work of furthering the mobilization of all California's food resources. FOREST NOTES Balsa wood, found in Central America, is said to be the lightest wood known. It is lighter than cork and has an average specific gravity of only .104. A wood specimen found in glacial drift and estimated by the Wisconsin state geologist to be approximately half a million years old has been identified by the forest products laboratory of the forest service as spruce. State forests with a total of over 3,600,000 acres have been established in thirteen states. Of these New York has the largest forests, which comprise 1,826,000 acres; Pennsylvania is second with 1,008,000 acres, and Wisconsin third with 400,000. The largest number of sheep grazed on any single national forest is 315,740, finding pasturage on the Humboldt in Nevada, while the largest number of cattle—75,818 head, is found on the Tonto in Arizona in Arizona. The value of the average annual meet product of these two na- ed for use in the improvement. Tyrell sponsored the other, relating to the deposit of public moneys. It is proposed to give the legislation power to enact an "absent voters" law under the constitutional amendment fathered by Ambrose. The establishment of municipal court in the framing of charters is dealt with in Egsward's constitutional amendment. One by Gebhart will make it possible for the state and its political subdivisions to take immediate possession of rights of way required for public use in actions of eminent domain. Three of the amendments relate to local conditions. One by Reed would open the way for an election on the matter of putting the city of Oakland in a county by itself; one by C. W. Lyon relates to the municipal idebtedness of the city of Venice and one by Bartlett relates to the reimbursement of official funds held by the treasurer of Los Angeles. VOICE OF THE PRESS What California needs, according to the San Diego Union, is "not more legislation for the distribution of rapidly increasing taxation," but a revision of our state system so that "all taxation shall be based on an executive budget." The Union believes that the chief executive should be made thoroughly responsible for the state's program of expenditures. The San Francisco Chronicle observes that no plan for tax limitation will really limit "which does not specify in dollars the maximum amount which can be raised by taxation in any given year. All other plans will fail." As revealed in the Sentinel, the Tax Payers' Association of Santa Cruz has a comprehensive program for effecting economy in the seaside city. Three of the leading recom- mendations are, the elimination of duplications in officials and salaries, turning local assessments and tax collections over to the county officials and the appointment of a bank official as city treasurer, his compensation being the use, by his bank, of certain idle city funds. Commenting on the failure of the legislature to submit to the people the constitutional amendment proposed by the state tax commission, which amendment would permit the legislature, by three fourths vote of both houses, to change the state tax system subject to referendum, Senator Lyman M. King, writing in Redlands Facts, views the outcome with evident regret. Referring to the cost of the commission's work, and the failure of the amendment, which he regards as the "big measure of the session," Senator King writes: "Thus we spend the state's money, with no direct result, although the information gained will undoubtedly be used later, for it is unthinkable that our present inelastic tax system will forever remain." RAISING HOGS Plans through which the garbage in every city and town in California may be utilized in the raising of hogs, which are badly needed to reinforce the country's depleted meat supply are being worked out by the state council of defense. According to information laid before the council by Dr. J. L. Pomeroy, in peace times would be regarded only as headstrong outbreaks or expressions of opinion, but which in war time are nothing less than treason. "This country is at war and the government demands unquestioned and undivided loyalty from every one of her citizens. Military necessity makes it mandatory that every person who fails or refuses to give such undivided and unquestionable allegiance shall be considered as disloyal. Disloyalty, in turn, is considered treason. In war time, treason may be punished with death. "Unfortunately it has been necessary to deprive a few persons of their liberty because of unwise acts and utterances. More than 100 such persons, taken into custody in this state are now being detained because of their failure to observe that degree of loyalty to their country which a condition of war demands. Quite a few instances also have been reported to the council of defense wherein persons have been sentenced to long terms in jail for treasonable language. In other instances offenders in this respect have escaped with a warning. "The state council of defense urges upon every person in California the necessity of being loyal both in act and word at this time. True patriotism means not only loyalty to flag and country, but to the president and the heads of our government. Every person should give this kind of loyalty. "In the words of Gov. Stephens im- Notice is hereby given that a Resolution was passed by the Board of Supervisors of the County of Orange State of California on the second day of May, A.D. 1817, declaring its intention to form a storm water district in the County of Orange, State of California, to be known and designated as the "BUENA PARK-CYPRESS STORM WATER PROTECTION DISTRICT OF ORANGE COUNTY." That the exterior boundaries of said proposed storm water district are described as follows to-wit: Beginning at the point of intersection of the southerly line of the right of way of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway company with the West city limits of the City of Fullerton; thence southerly along the line of said west city limits and continuing along the line between Range 10 West and Range 11 West S. B. B. & M. to the northeast corner of the South one-half of the Southeast one-quarter of said Section Eleven (1) to the South line of said Section Eleven (1); thence westerly along said South line of said Section Eleven (1) and continuing along the East and West center line of said Section Twelve (12) and continuing along the East and West center line of Section Eleven (11) Township Four (4) South, Range Eleven (11) West to the Northeast corner of the northwest one-quarter of the Southeast one-quarter of Section Eleven (1); thence southerly along the East line of the one-half of that Southeast one-quarter of said Section Eleven (1); thence westerly along said South line of said Section Eleven (1) and continuing along the East and West center line of Section Sixteen (18) Township Four (4) South, Range Eleven (11) West S. B. B. & M. to the East line of Section Seventeen (17) Township Four (4) South, Range Eleven (11) West S. B. B. & M.; thence southerly along the East line of said Section Seventeen (17); thence westerly along the south line of said Section Seventeen (17); to the point of intersection of said South line of said Section Seventeen (17) with the southerly line of Sancho Los Coyotes; thence northwestly along said Ranch line to its point of intersection with the boundary line between counties of Orange and Los Angeles; thence northeasterly along said county boundary line to its point of intersection with the southerly line of the right of way of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway Company in Section Twenty-Six (26) Township Three (3) South Range Eleven (11) West S. B. B. & M.; thence southerly along said southerly line... RAISING HOGS Plans through which the garbage in every city and town in California may be utilized in the raising of hogs, which are badly needed to reinforce the country's depleted meat supply are being worked out by the state council of defense. According to information laid before the council by Dr. J. L. Pomeroy, health officer of Los Angeles, millions of dollars worth of garbage is going to waste in California yearly through the failure of municipalities to utilize refuse for hog feeding purposes. That garbage can be handled in a perfectly sanitary way and that thousands of hogs could be raised on the now wasted material, is the contention of Dr. Pomeroy. Data compiled by the state council of defense shows that many of the larger cities of the state maintain incinerators for burning their garbage and that thousands of tons of table refuse, available for hog raising purposes, are destroyed daily. Several offers have been made to the state to collect all garbage in several of the larger cities, without charge to the taxpayer for collection service, and to maintain hog raising farms which would be conducted in such a sanitary manner that no objection to them could be raised. ELIMINATE WASTE OF FOOD State wide cooperation for Gov. Stephens and the council of defense in steps already taken to bring about food conservation and the elimination of food waste in households, is to be given by the California Parent Teacher's association. At a convention to be held in Sacramento this month, at which delegates from all over the state will be present, the subject of domestic economy, food supply and other topics which will aid in conserving California's present food supply, will be discussed by experts. Among the speakers will be Dr. Thomas Forsyth Hunt, of the university of California, who is acting chairman of the committee on resources and food supplies of the council of defense. Through the Parent Teacher's association, it is expected that the council of defense will be enabled to reach every home in California in its efforts to teach housewives how to eliminate have escaped with a warning. "The state council of defense urges upon every person in California the necessity of being loyal both in act and word at this time. True patriotism means not only loyalty to flag and country, but to the president and the heads of our government. Every person should give this kind of loyalty." In the words of Gov. Stephens immediately following the declaration of war, it also is a time for 'kindliness, friendliness and broad-spiritedness.' A friendly spirit should be exhibited toward citizens of foreign birth or of foreign parentage. They should be dealt with courously and fairly and made to feel that they are among friends. We are not at war with American citizens of German birth or extraction, nor do we entertain feelings of enmity toward the mass of the German people. Prussian militarism has made this war and it is against this that we fight. "It would make for patriotism if every citizen would occasionally read President Wilson's message and to study it carefully." One of the most recent instances of a heavy jail sentence being imposed as a result of treasonable remarks is reported from Santa Rosa, where District Attorney G. W. Hoyle caused the arrest of a man at Healdsburg, who was sentenced to 180 days in jail. The man is said to have used language derogatory to our government and its institutions. TO THE BOYS AND GIRLS OF ORANGE COUNTY President Wilson has called on every man, woman and child to do their bit for their country. More dry beans are needed to supply the world with food. You have many places in your yard where you can plant beans. Will you pledge yourself to raise at least one pound of dry beans and store them for winter use, and more, if you can? Plant any variety that will grow in your locality. The Lima, Black Eye and Refugee beans are among the best varieties and are easy to grow, but any bean will do as long as it can be dried and used for winter food. These may be planted as late as the first of July in many places and still mature a crop, but the earlier they are planted the better. You may be asked later to report which will aid in conserving California's present food supply, will be discussed by experts. Among the speakers will be Dr. Thomas Forsyth Hunt, of the university of California, who is acting chairman of the committee on resources and food supplies of the council of defense. Through the Parent Teacher's association, it is expected that the council of defense will be enabled to reach every home in California in its efforts to teach housewives how to eliminate food waste. PATRIOTISM OF EVERY CITIZEN DESIRED More Than 100 Persons In This State Interned for Treasonable Utterances In a warning issued by the state council of defense against the commission of treasonable acts and the use of treasonable language, the fact was made public that more than 100 persons already have been interned in California for such offenses, while in several cases heavy fines have been imposed by county officials who did not resort to the federal process of internment for such offenders. A. H. Naftzger, vice chairman of the state council of defense, states that the internment of mayn prisoners has been found necessary by federal authorities because of treasonable and seditious utterances. In the majority of cases where such internment has been resorted to, it is said that the persons being held are mostly allens, but instances are recorded wherein native born American citizens are being held in duress. In a warning to the public against remarks which can be construed as treasonable, Vice-Chairman Naftzger said: "Many persons do not realize the seriousness of acts and remarks which one pound of dry beans and store them for winter use, and more, if you can? Plant any variety that will grow in your locality. The Lima, Black Eye and Refugee beans are among the best varieties and are easy to grow, but any bean will do as long as it can be dried and used for winter food. These may be planted as late as the first of July in many places and still mature a crop, but the earlier they are planted the better. You may be asked later to report the number of pounds you have raised. There are nearly twenty-six million boys and girls attending the American schools. If every boy and girl will do their bit, just think what you can do, be the means of adding twenty-six million pounds to the world's food supply. Get your spade, rake and hoe and go to work. This is something you can do right at home. You are just as necessary to the success of the war as the man in the trenches, every one of you, from the kindergartner to the high school graduate. Every one of you can raise one pound of beans and more too. Will you do your bit toward furnishing "bean bullets" and help win the war? County Council of Defense, Z. B. WEST, President. L. A. WEST, Secretary. The Orange high school baseball team cinched the Orange Belt baseball championship by defeating the Santa Ana team, 3 to 1 in a hard fought 10-inning contest. For nine innings the game was a pitcher's battle with neither twiener having the shade. Hendricks was on the mound for the Orange team, whil Burk did the twirling for Santa Ana, and up to the 9th either allowed but one hit. However, in the 9th both hurlers weakened and both teams scored one run. This did not help any, for it still made the score a tie. In the tenth frame the wear of the battle told on Burk and he was nicked for two hits, which scored two runs and won the game for the Orange team. The contest was one of the hardest fought games played in the prep ranks this year. Stub Kane umpired the contest in stellar fashion. WHY NOT USE IT?
