STATE'S PRODUCT OF STAPLES IN 1916 CALIF. DEVELOPMENT BOARD ISSUES BULLETIN SHOWING STATE'S RESOURSES HEAVY INCREASE IN OUTPUT OF THE FARMS OVER PREVIOUS YEAR The acreage devoted to grain in California (with the exception of barley) has been rapidly falling off year by year, for the reason that the large ranchies formerly devoted exclusively to grain have been rapidly subdivided and planted to more profitable crops. California is the leading barley producing state in the Union with the production in 1916 of 33,320,000 bushels. This exceeds the next highest state production by 5,582,000 bushels. Oats follow with 6,500,000 bushels. Wheat is the third grain importance with 5,600,000 bushels. Corn, fourth with 2,048,000 bushels, Rye 104,000. It appears from Department reports that wheat, formerly the most important agricultural product of the state, has gradually given place to barley. The malting qualities of California barley give it a ready market abroad. Oats are raised, in some parts of the state, more for the hay than for threshing, while corn is but little used as feed for work animals. Barley has long been the main grain feed in California, but of late years oats have come into use to quite an extent. The non-saccharine sorghums are also important in this respect. was threshed, although perhaps 10,000 acres in excess of this were planted but owing to late sowing did not yield heavily. The harvest however, was worth at the end of the 1916 season $3,000,000. Growers, dissatisfied with the prevailing price of $1.60 per hundred pounds of paddy rice held their stock with the knowledge that rice was quoted at a less figure than it was sold for the previous year even allowing for the critical war conditions, rice men felt that a better market would develop and their prophecy has proven correct. During April, 1917, a large bulk of the hold-over from 1916 was sold at an average of $2.75 per hundred pounds, the highest price yet paid for paddy rice in California. A marked increase in rice acreage will be noticeable in 1917 and as this report goes to press, our information is to the effect that fully 90,000 acres will be under cultivation the current season. The greatest advance in rice culture is being made in Glenn county and under one ditch alone where last year 8,000 acres were planted, 17,000 acres have been allotted water for rice during the 1917 season. Sacramento valley is the greatest producing section of California, 90% of the crop coming from that district. There has been a tendency to increase the acreage in the lower San Joaquin valley, in Tulare and Kern counties, but possibly not more than 8,000 acres will be under cultivation this year outside of the Sacramento valley. Butte, Glenn, Colusa, Yola and Yuba counties are the principal producing sections in the order named. Owing to the late plantings as well as high north winds which prevailed during the harvesting season and which dried out and shelled the rice before headers were able to cut, the yield per acre for 1916 was below normal. In Butte county it is estimated that the cost of growing it is $21.55 per acre; cost of harvesting, threshing, etc., on tion, which indicates may be made profitably the irrigated land in leys.

Oats are raised, in some parts of the state, more for the hay than for threshing, while corn is but little used as feed for work animals. Barley has long been the main grain feed in California, but of late years oats have come into use to quite an extent. The non-saccharine sorghums are also important in this respect. The hay crop of California is one of its most valuable agricultural products. The census returns for the crop of 1909, a fair year, gave the yield at 4,327,130 tons, valued at $42,187,215. The total acreage sown to hay amounted to 2,500,000 acres in 1916 as compared with 2,350,000 acres in 1915. The total yield of all hay in 1916 amounted to 4,375,000 tons as compared with 4,230,000 in 1915. The average price per ton in 1916 was $12.60 a compared with $11.20 in 1915, making a total value of the crop $55,125,000 as compared with $47,376,000 in 1915. California grain cut in the milk is highly prized for hay and is sent East by the trainload for feeding race horses. Dairying and hog raising in connection with alfalfa growing is becoming one of the leading industries of the state, being one that is within reach of the man with comparatively small capital. The state board of equalization reported 826,534 acres of standing alfalfa in 1916. The present production of alfalfa in California is about 1,838,000 tons. Lower prices have led to its increased use on the farm and to the introduction of mills for making alfalfa meal. The acreage is steadily increasing and five cuttings may be made yearly on irrigated land, with an average of six tons per acre. It is almost forgotten now that the beet sugar industry of the United States originated in California, at Alvarado in Alameda county. The campaign of 1912-13 in California with 1,612 acres produced 980,894 tons of beets, with a sugar output of 155,432 tons of sugar, giving the state second place, next to Colorado. According to the United States crop reporter there were 144,200 acres of beets planted in 1916 and 1,439,000 short tons of beets harvested. The sugar content of beets grown in California Butte, Glenn, Colusa, Yola and Yuba counties are the principal producing sections in the order named. Owing to the late plantings as well as high north winds which prevailed during the harvesting season and which dried out and shelled the rice before headers were able to cut, the yield per acre for 1916 was below normal. In Butte county it is estimated that the cost of growing is $21.55 per acre; cost of harvesting, threshing, etc., on a basis of 3,500 pounds per acre, $15.75 making the total cost of production $37.10 per acre. Taking an estimated value of $70 as an average price, the net profits is approximately $39.20 per acre. Statistics from the U.S. Department of Agriculture gave California fourth rank in the production of rice in the United States, with an average yield per acre of 66.7 bushels, while the nearest competitor produced an average of only 48.4. Rice is much heavier in the stalk than other grains and to successfully and economically harvest it special machinery should be constructed, but so far implement makers have been unable to grasp the situation to the extent of constructing suitable harvesters, and this fact has been one of the greatest drawbacks to California rice growers; last season it cost from $3 to $5 per acre more to harvest rice with the ordinary threshing machines than it did to harvest other grains. It is evident from the experience of the past few years that California furnishes one of the big fields for the extension of cotton growing in the United States, although the present acreage is not large as compared to the Southern states. The possibilities of successful culture of high quality cotton are being recognized and the production this year will exceed that of last year by 15,000 to 30,000 bales. In 1916, 65,000 bales were produced including that grown in the Mexican portion of Imperial valley. This included about 17,000 bales of Durango and 45,000 bales of short staple, raised in Imperial valley, the rest coming from the Palo Verde and San Pasqual valleys. Egyptian cotton has not been grown in the Imperial valley except experimentally since 1912 when commercial trials did out prove sufficiently profitable to induce the ranchers to extend the planting. Securing labor was the big problem, which must yet be solved before this industry can be extended. The present high prices Those who think fished out will be in that it isn't.

The campaign of 1912-13 in California with 1,612 acres produced 980,894 tons of beets, with a sugar output of 155,432 tons of sugar, giving the state second place, next to Colorado. According to the United States crop reporter there were 144,200 acres of beets planted in 1916 and 1,439,000 short tons of beets harvested. The sugar content of beets grown in California is greater than any other state, having 16.9 per cent and they accordingly bring higher prices, the California beet selling this year for $6.44 per ton. The American Beet Sugar company reports that the production of beet sugar in California for the season of 1916 amounted to 4,727,701 bags of 100 pounds each, and the estimated value, according to J.K. Armsby company was $30,800,000. The leading beet sugar counties according to the report of the State Board of Equalization are as follows: Orange, 30,000; Monterey, 25,000; Ventura, 13,300; San Luis Obispo, 10,000; San Joaquin, 10,000. Since the experiments that were carried on several years ago by the U.S. Department of Agriculture as to the adability of California soil and climate for successful commercial rice culture, the industry has developed as one of the big new leading crops of the state. Rice grown in California was awarded the gold medal at the Seattle Exposition in 1909. In 1910, several experimental plantings yielded well. In 1912 the yield from 1,200 acres was 3,500,000 lbs., and was disposed of for approximately $75,000. In 1913, 6,000 acres were planted with a yield of 19,200,000 lbs. In 1916 about 60,000 acres of rice included about 17,000 bales of Durango and 45,000 bales of short staple, raised in Imperial valley, the rest coming from the Palo Verde and San Pasqual valleys. Egyptian cotton has not been grown in the Imperial valley except experimentally since 1912 when commercial trials did out prove sufficiently profitable to induce the ranchers to extend the planting. Securing labor was the big problem, which must yet be solved before this industry can be extended. The present high prices and the growing demand for the superior staple products has stimulated interest in the planting of Egyptian cotton, and although the acreage this years will be insignificant, a beginning will be made which may mean the ultimate planting of this variety to the exclusion of the short staple product. Ability to control moisture supply furnishes a distinct advantage in favor of irrigated land. The average yields so far have been much higher than the average in the South, although not so high as at first anticipated. It is apparent that the yields of short cotton will have to exceed a bale to the acre on the average, on irrigated land to make a profit because of the added cost of water, irrigation attendance, high prices of labor and land generally obtaining in irrigated sections. At present, by far the largest proportion of cotton is raised in Imperial valley, where the acreage is rapidly being increased, although Palo Verde and the San Pasqual valleys along the Colorado river are gaining in importance. Plantings of cotton on the bottom lands of the San Joaquin and Sacramento valleys have yielded as high as a bale to the acre without irrigation.

The tain point are of figifying the water seem to most; and plans to keep the point of greatest v Anaheim Gazette tion, which indicates that this crop may be made profitable on much of the irrigated land in the interior valleys. According to the United States Crop Reporter for January, 1917, the total number of sheep in the United States was 48,483,000. The production of wool in the United States estimated by the bureau of crop estimates shows an increase in 1916 of 2,764,000 pounds over figures given for 1915. The average price to producers for unwashed wool averaged during 1916 about 27.6 cents per pound as compared with 22.8 cents in 1915 and 18.4 cents in 1914. The same report credits California with the production of 1,850,000 fleeces at an average weight of 6.3 lbs. each, making a total of 11,600,000 pounds. The average price paid for wool in this state in 1916 was 22c per pound which would make the value of the wool crop $2,552,000. FISHING TIME Fly fishing time is here. Some of the angling licensees—and there are over 20,000 of them tagged and catalogued by the Fish and Game commission in the South alone—think good sport due because it has been long enough in coming. But of that no matter. There has been some fishing right along for the fellows who know when, where and how. This last week end, a couple of warm days sent the fish to the top, surface feeding on natural flies in all the creeks. Those who think the San Gabriel fished out will be interested to learn that it isn't. One of these inquisitive chaps who styles himself a poor fisherman because filled with the fanciful lore of the dry fly purists—though he creels as many as the next—looked over our best little trout brook the other afternoon—with floating feathers of course—and picked a nice little mess of the top. He says the stream has a THE FOOD DICTATOR President Wilson is to be congratulated upon the appointment of Herbert C. Hoover to have charge of the food situation in the United States, as Mr. Hoover is an international character when the food question is being discussed. The new food commissioner has attained a world wide reputation for the skillful and economic manner in which he handled the Belgian Relief Commission. Therefore, it is fortunate for every citizen of the nation that the President has appointed such an able, honest and efficient man to take charge of the regulation and distribution of food in this country. The task which has been assigned to Mr. Hoover is a gigantic one, and will require the services of a man of tremendous executive ability to handle with any degree of satisfaction to his superiors or the citizenship of the country. There is no doubt but what the appointment of Mr. Hoover will save the people millions of dollars, as it will largely, if not entirely, prevent speculators from reaping big profits on food supplies. Had the food gamblers been allowed to continue their work unmolested there is little doubt but what flour would have been selling at $10 per sack before the harvesting of the new crop of wheat was well under way. DENIES THE ALLEGATION A number of people have telephoned the Blade, indignantly protesting against the alleged "roast" appearing Thursday concerning Supervisor Finley. It should be stated first that the article was not a roast. Roasts, on the Blade are seldom printed, and when they are, they are never mistaken for anything else. The article was a statement of the board's position. William Jerome, county auditor, is involved in force made by many kinds of vegetables can be dried and thus made available for use throughout the year. The methods are simple and similar to those used with fruits, and can be applied anywhere in California. The method described here is suitable for turnips, carrots, beets, potatoes and other similar root vegetables. 1. Peel or scrape the roots and cut into slices one-fourth to three-eights of an inch thick. 2. Spread on wooden trays. Those used for fruit drying are the best. Any light wooden tray of suitable size can be used. A two foot by three foot raisin tray is convenient. They can be made from half-inch boards, shakes or even from old boxes. 3. Expose the sliced vegetables on the trays to the fumes of burning sulphur. An ordinary "sulphur box" used in drying fruits can be used. A simple sulphur box can be made of tongue and grooved boards or more cheaply by a wooden crate, covered with ordinary tar paper to make it fairly air tight. The box should have cleats on the inside on which to place the trays, or strips of wood should be placed between the trays. They should be so spaced that there will be about two inches between the trays for the circulation of the sulphur fumes. The box should be open at the bottom and is placed on the ground with the out side down over a hole in which the sulphur is burned. This hole should be about eight or ten inches wide and deep enough to avoid burning the trays—about eight inches. As soon as the box is filled with trays of the sliced vegetables, the sulphur, in a shallow iron or earthenware pan, is placed in the hole and ignited. The door of the box is then closed. In from fifteen to thirty minutes the sulphuring is complete. These vegetables can be dried without sulphurizing, but the color, flavor and keeping Those who think the San Gabriel fished out will be interested to learn that it isn't. One of these inquisitive chaps who styles himself a poor fisherman because filled with the fanciful lore of the dry fly purists—though he creels as many as the next—looked over our best little trout brook the other afternoon—with floating feathers of course—and picked a nice little mess of the top. He says the stream has a plenty of fingerlings, probably produce of last fall's plantings, and they are getting catchable in size now; five to six inches and growing all the while. Last October the Fish and Game commission delivered to the San Gabriel, 75,000 steelhead, 50,000 Loch Leven and 45,000 rainbow fry; and to Fish creek 4,000 Eastern brooke trout. No bad storms occurred; and from the fearful laments of poor fishing the first two weeks, they couldn't all have been caught. From now on, when most of the angling licensees have given it up for a bad job, the veteran fly caster gets in his deadly work upon increasingly larger fish. But no use to tell them; those who believe need not to be told. Fishing Deep creek from its junction with Mohave River up about half way to the irrigation intake, a beautiful limit was killed with the fly Saturday, fish no one need be ashamed of in any company. The other day, that canny Scot, "Telarana Joe" Welsh who put the pass in Pasadena, rambled up the Arroyo Seco, much bedeviled of the rollers of red salmon eggs; and by dint of plying his wily art with a Reuben Wood, Josephus creeled 38 respectable troutlings, one of them a whale 12 inches long. While this disciple of the knotless leader lays deserved claim to pass able skill with angling tools, it may be pointed out that the fish must have been there else we wouldn't have gotten them. Charlie Van Horn and Dr. H. D. Wilson, rambled all over the Foothill boulevard country the other day and wound up about quitting time to try a few shies; they got about three dozen in the evening. While that is nothing much, the same place yielded a limit the Sunday before within 30 miles of town. A man who gets his day out is beating the game; and with a mess of fish added, should count himself in rare luck for a panful of A number of people have telephoned the Blade, indignantly protesting against the alleged "roast" appearing Thursday concerning Supervisor Finley. It should be stated first that the article was not a roast. Roasts, on the Blade are seldom printed, and when they are, they are never mistaken for anything else. The article was a statement of the board's position. William Jerome, county auditor, is decidedly in favor of the motion made by Finley. Mr. Jerome says he thinks Finley was exactly right in making the motion, and that the Blade was entirely wrong in printing the story it did concerning him. Another subscriber who is defending the Santa Ana supervisor is Thos. Alexander, proprietor of the Rossmore Hotel. He says he thinks Finley is the one man to save teh county from destruction, or words to that effect. He has much criticism to make regarding the inaction of the members of the board at the flood a year ago last January. CROP PROSPECTS GOOD IN IMPERIAL VALLEY Prospects for big crops of all kinds in the Imperial Valley this season are reported as very good by W. H. Whalen, superintendent on the Los Angeles division of the Southern Pacific. There is a big increased acreage in alfalfa and milo maize. The cotton acreage on the American side shows a remarkable increase of 31,000 acres over last year. Below the boundary approximately 85,000 acres are under cultivation, most of which is in cotton. An estimate of cotton in the valley places the figure for both sides at 140,000 acres, and for corn at 125,000 acres. The farm bureau on minor crops estimates acreage as follows: Canteloupes, 13,000 acres; tomatoes, 320; watermelons, 825; summer squash, 305; tepary and pink beans, 600; silage crops, 3000. Santa Ana almost had an anti-registration riot last week, with a woman speaker from Los Angeles as the "anti" part of it. That the speaker was not arrested was due only to the fact that she tempered her rantings with a certain degree of commonsense. While she several times approached the edge of treasonable utterances she never quite crossed the boundary, and was allowed to continue and complete her speech, which was given at 4th sulphur is burned. This hole should be about eight or ten inches wide and deep enough to avoid burning the trays—about eight inches. As soon as the box is filled with trays of the sliced vegetables, the sulphur, in a shallow iron or earthenware pan, is placed in the hole and ignited. The door of the box is then closed. In from fifteen to thirty minutes the sulphuring is complete. These vegetables can be dried without sulphuring, but the color, flavor and keeping qualities are inferior and the drying is slower. 4. Place the trays in the sun until the vegetables are dry. This will require but two or three days in good weather. 5. The dried vegetables may be kept in stoneware jars, closed bins or heavy sacks. They should be protected from moths, weevils and other insects. If they become infested, the insects may be killed by heating the dry vegetables in an oven for about five minutes, or by placing them in a tight covered box and allowing a little bi-sulfid of carbon to evaporate from a saucer placed on top just below the box cover. 6. Dried vegetables must be soaked in water for twenty four hours before being cooked. They can be used for nearly all purposes of fresh vegetables but are particularly suitable for soups and stews. LOADING TOO MUCH ON THE PRESENT The taxation bill in the house is a Charlie Van Horn and Dr. H. D. Wilson, rambled all over the Foothill boulevard country the other day and wound up about quitting time to try a few shies; they got about three dozen in the evening. While that is nothing much, the same place yielded a limit the Sunday before within 30 miles of town. A man who gets his day out is beating the game; and with a mess of fish added, should count himself in rare luck, for a panful of six inchers fairly killed on the fly is worth a limit of lesser done to death with those pink pills that make trout pale. Bass fishing in the city reservoirs is a hard enough game to really be interesting. Joe Welsh and his first born took a whirl at Fernando reservoir the day it opened, and caught a nice mess of fish on various brown flies; nothing large; but any legal bass taken on a fly becomes a sporting proposition forthwith; and they had some 10 inches long. Welsh says the fish were excellent eating, due partly to deep water and partly to the cool weather. The fish are still spawning however, and the reservoir shows the effect of last season's over-fishing. Gradually a considerable sporting stock is building up for the people in the city reservoirs, and that good old sportsman "Bill" Mulholland is looking after them with idea of letting the public enjoy all the fun possible short of interferring with the chief business of providing clean, wholesome water for all. The fish up to a certain point are of great service in purifying the water strange as this may seem to most; and the water board plans to keep the supply down to the point of greatest value in this regard. Santa Ana almost had an anti-registration riot last week, with a woman speaker from Los Angeles as the "anti" part of it. That the speaker was not arrested was due only to the fact that she tempered her rantings with a certain degree of commonsense. While she several times approached the edge of treasonable utterances she never quite crossed the boundary, and was allowed to continue and complete her speech, which was given at 4th and Bush streets.

As soon as possible the senate should make it known to the country that this bill will never pass. Then the people will take heart again. Wheels will begin to turn and plans will be made to expand industry to meet the needs of the government for fighting the war. Then the bonds will be bought up by the rich and poor. Let the senate give the country to understand that the war is to be fought for all time, the end being the triumph of our democracy against the strongest assault that could be made against it. Let the people know that the immense cost of the war will be borne by those receiving the benefit of victory, as well as by those who endure the burden and shed the blood needful for victory. As the benefit will run to posterity, let posterity pay part of the cost. It cannot pay in blood, but it can pay part of the money cost. And since the greater and more populous and richer United States will be better able to pay its share, posterity will still be under a deep debt to the patriotis of this day who pay more than money for victory. This nation cannot fight this war out of current revenues increased by taxation. It must go into debt. The sooner this fact is understood the better. The debt should be apportioned to the taxpayers over 30 years at least. Fifty years would be better, since the taxpayers 50 years hence will be enjoying far greater benefits than those of the immediate future, who will inherit the blood tax as well as the money tax.
