UNITED STATES PLATINUM SUPPLY INADEQUATE State Mineralogist Urges Conservation And Increased Production of this Indispensable Metal According to experts of the United States Government, the country is at present not supplying 10 per cent of the platinum it requires. It has been urged that platinum dealers and producers inform the government fully regarding the available reserves of this highly important metal, as a patriotic duty. Fletcher Hamilton, state mineralogist, has given this matter careful consideration, and as California supplies the bulk of the domestic output of crude platinum, he has detailed C. A. Logan, one of his field assistants, to carry on an investigation, in cooperation with L. M. Prindle, of the U.S. geological survey, with the object in view of collecting exact data relative to all sources of platinum in California, in the hope that means of increasing the production of the metal may be secured to aid in meeting the nation's needs for war purposes. A second mining bureau field man will also assist in this work, taking up his duties within the next week. Messrs. Prindle and Logan have proceeded to Trinity county and will confine their efforts for the immediate future to that section of the state which includes Trinity, Siskiyou, Del Norte and Humboldt counties. Fifty per cent of the platinum used in the United States during recent years has gone into the manufacture of jewelry. A majority of the leading jewelers, have, however, agreed to discontinue this practice, while the war lasts and if the public will do its part by refusing to buy ornaments of this material benefit will result and a MARVELOUS FIND OF INDIAN RELICS MADE IN N. M. Sixty Pieces of Rare Pottery, Beads, Baskets, Tools in Ancient Dwellings An extraordinary find of historic pottery and relics has been made by Earl Morris, excavating Pueblo ruins at Aztec, San Juan county, New Mexico, with a force of 25 men, for the American Museum of Natural History. The discovery includes sixty pieces of rare pottery, over 20,000 carved red and black stone beads, baskets, matting, knives, battle axes and other stone implements. Turquoise heads, mosaics and shell ornaments are classed as among the finest ever excavated in the southwest. Grains of corn with cobs, tassels and husks were found intact, as were also beans and bean pods, pumpkin seeds, pine cones, cotton fiber, yucca leaves, rushes, cotton yarn and cloth, sandals, snowshoes, beaver teeth and bones of animals and of human beings, one skeleton in a sitting position indicating the man had been decapitated. The find was made in an underground communal dwelling buried for centuries.

Fifty per cent of the platinum used in the United States during recent years has gone into the manufacture of jewelry. A majority of the leading jewelers, have, however, agreed to discontinue this practice, while the war lasts and if the public will do its part by refusing to buy ornaments of this kind great benefit will result and a serious misuse of this important metal will be eliminated. Dentistry also consumes a large amount of the metal in question, but it is interesting to note that members of this profession are making every effort to substitute other substances for their purposes. As a "war metal" platinum becomes particularly important in the manufacture of sulphuric acid and chemical utensils, both of which have a direct bearing on the production of high explosives and other necessary war supplies. CHEESE MAKES GOOD MEAT SUBSTITUTE Experiments Show Cheese Is Easily Digested and Furnishes More Protein Than Meats American Cheddar cheese is a most satisfactory substitute for meat and may be made the important protein dish of a meal, say food specialists of the United States department of agriculture. Too many people use cheese only as an appetizer. Since it compares very favorably with meat in protein content and can be kept and served easily, its wider use is advocated. Contrary to the opinion of many, Cheddar or "store" cheese is not usually indigestible and constipating. Extensive digestion experiments conducted by the department have demonstrated that more than 95 per cent of the protein in cheese is digested and that 90 per cent of its energy is available. Even when eaten in large quantities and for long periods, no case of indigestion, constipation or other disturbance was observed in those who ate it. One person who ate cheese as the chief source of protein and energy, eating an average of 9.27 ounces daily for more than two years, did a fair amount of muscal work and kept in good health. Method Used by Canning Demonstrators In the North and West Can as soon after the corn is gathered as possible. Remove husks and silk. Blanched by placing in boiling water for five minutes. Remove and dip quickly into and out of cold water. Cut the corn from the cob and pack directly into hot jars or cans to with in one fourth inch of the top. Pour in enough boiling water to fill the container. Add one level teaspoonful of salt to each quart. Put rubber rings and caps of jars into position, but do not tighten the wire clamps. Seal tin cans completely. Place containers on a false bottom of wooden slats or wire mesh in a vessel of water deep enough to cover the containers completely. Keep the water boiling for three hours. Remove the jars, tighten covers, invert jars to test seal, and cool (not in draft, as jars might crack). Tin cans may be placed in cold water for rapid cooling. After the containers are cool store in a dark, cool place. Rapid preparation for canning is especially desirable for corn if a good product is to be obtained. The best results can be secured when one person cuts the corn from the cob and another fills the containers. If it is necessary for one person to work alone she should cut off sufficient corn to fill one jar, pour on boiling water, add salt, place the rubbers and caps in position, and put the jar or container into hot water at once. The extra cooking which will be given to the cans first filled will not be injurious and a better product will be secured than if the cut corn were allowed to stand until all jars were filled. LEGHORN HENS PRODUCE CHEAPER EGGS Superiority of This Breed as Layers Over General Purpose Breeds is Shown by Recent Feeding Test Leghorns produce eggs cheaper than heens of the general purpose breed—Plymouth Rocks, Wyandottes, Rhode Island Reds and Orpingtons.

This fact which confirms the belief and experience of commercial poultry farmers, was one of the results obtained in a rather extensive feeding test recently reported by poultrymen of the United States Department of Agriculture. Because they lay as many or more eggs, eat only about 55 pounds of feed per head, as compared with 70 to 85 eaten by the general purpose breeds, and because their egg yield very materially exceeds that of general purpose breeds during their second and third laying years, Leghorns, the specialists say, undoubtedly are more profitable to keep for the production of eggs only. In this test the feed cost of a dozen eggs for one of the Leghorn pens was 7.34 cents in 1913, while the average cost of all the pens of the general purpose breeds was 10.6 cents. In 1914 the feed cost of a dozen eggs for the same pen of Leghorns was 8.7 as against an average cost of 15.1 cents for the second laying year of the general purpose pens. During their third laying year the cost of a dozen eggs was 8.8 cents compared to 18.6 cents for the general purpose fowls. The total value of eggs per hen over feed cost in the Leghorn pen for three years was $6.84 against $4.30 for the general purpose hens. The highest egg production obtained in any of the feeding experiments up to 1915 was by a pen of Leghorns which laid 157.6 eggs per hen, at a feed cost of 6.7 cents per dozen. The Leghorns produce smaller eggs than the general purpose breeds. The average weight of the eggs of a pen of Leghorns during the first laying year was 1.42 pounds per dozen as PLACENTIA CANNES NEXT T Reconstruction work at Cannery is nearly ready thing will be re-ment season opens.

However, Leghorns laying eggs weighing 1.50 pounds per dozen or even more, the specialists say, have been selected and bred by many poultrymen. An examination in May, 1915, of 500 eggs from three Leghorn pens showed that 31 per cent weighed more than 2 ounces each, or 1.50 pounds to the dozen. The value per dozen of the eggs produced by the Leghorns was from 1 to 3 cents less each year than the eggs of general purpose hens. This difference is due to the fact that the general purpose breeds are better winter layers than the leghorns, while the latter give a higher production in spring and summer. Very few Leghorns become broody which probably materially affects their egg yield as compared with the general purpose breeds. Better fertility in the eggs, especially with stock confined in the yards, is more often secured with Leghorns than with the general purpose or any of the heavier breeds. CIVIL SERVICE EXAMINATIONS The California State Civil Service Commission announces the following examinations to be held in the near future. Requests for further information should be made at an early date. Assistant Property Agent, state board of control, $1200 to $1800 a year. Laboratory Helper, state board of health, $600 a year. Skilled Trades Examinations: The wages for the following positions are the prevailing wages of the locality where the employment exists, except in the cases of institutional pointers and plumbers, who receive $80 a month with maintenance. Painter, Plumber, Plumber's Helper, Blacksmith, Blacksmith's Helper, Application blanks, and further in Placentia, says the Courier. It provides, in subject, that a school district cannot be partly within and partly without the boundaries of a city of the sixth class. This means that Fullerton will take three sections from the Placentia district, considerably reducing the assessed valuation, taking about 20 children out of the district, and probably depriving us of one teacher after this year. Orangethorpe will lose half of its territory and many other districts will be similarly effected. The local trustees are consulting legal authorities and may decide to contest the legality of the act. P.E. TO START WORK AT FULLERTON END Preparatory to beginning construction on its line from Fullerton, the Pacific Electric has moved three houses that blocked its right of way. It is believed work on the line at this end will start in a short time. The failure of the electric company to settle with A. O. Stovall and the Anaheim Union Water company, is the last obstacle in the way of pushing the line through. The case has been set for trial October 8. Meanwhile all the P. E. can do is to build up to that point from both directions. Unless a settlement is effected before the case goes to trial, indications are it will be somewhere around the first of the year before the line is completed into Fullerton. It has been learned from a reliable source that a settlement had been made between the P. E. and Mrs. Beatrice Gantz as administratrix of the estate of Mrs. Gertrude Bain. The sum involved is said to have been $12,500, and in addition the electric company agreed to construct an under-grade crossing making possible means government service. Not only have new bureaus and commissions and committees sprung up, but branches of the service already in operation have added to the list of their employees upon the ground that the war has added to the work to be performed. As an illustration of the east with which clerks now get into the government service may be cited the case of a girl who tried in vain to hold a clerical position in private employment at $60 per month, losing her positions because not qualified, but now holding a government position at $2,000 a year. Another girl accepted a call to one of the bureaus but in response to better salary offers from other bureaus rapidly transferred until she occupied a position beyond her fondest hopes a year before. Under civil service regulations these positions must be pro rated among the several states, but so long as an emergency exists the appointments will be made without regard to geography, if no eligibles are to be had from states that have not supplied their quotas. GOVERNMENT RECOMMENDS FLOUR SUBSTITUTES Home Grown Substarices May be Combined Profitably With Wheat Flour in Making Bread The south has at its command a variety of foodstuffs which can be used to excellent advantage as part substitutes for wheat flour in making bread and biscuits. Housewives are urged by specialists in the United States department of agriculture to try some of these in their bread making. Not only will they be able to effect a saving in household expenses, but by reducing in the south the consumption of wheat flour brought in from other sections of the country they will be DON'T LEND YOUR COMMUTATION TICKET Under the terms of a new anti-ticket scalping ordinance which becomes effective on the 27th of this month, the activities of those who make a business of re-selling transportation will be considerably curbed.

STATEMENT ISSUED BY TAX PAYER'S ASSOCIATION OF CALIFORNIA The report that the Attorney general of the state has formally held that Assembly bill No. 1013, the five percent tax limit law, is not subject to the referendum provisions of the constitution, is extremely welcome to the taxpayers of California. This law is beyond doubt the best law for the protection of the taxpayers that has been passed in recent year, and the nullification of the attempted referendum is a decided victory for the people of the state and will not work injury either directly or indirectly, upon any branch of government activity. It is confidently predicted that instead of being injured the schools will be particularly benefited by the operation of the law. Under it waste in all county departments will be reduced to a minimum, thereby leaving more money for such legitimate purposes. of control, $1200 to $1800 a year.

BETTER SEED FOR CALIFORNIA Better seed means larger crops for California at practically no more expense for growing them. To stimulate interest among the farmers of California in growing better seed for their own use, a seed show will be held at the University of California Farm at Davis during the first two weeks of the short courses, which begin on September 24. While no awards will be given at this seed show, all farmers are invited to send samples of their seed crops, to be displayed and to be judged according to merit. There is no entray charge, and the privilege of exhibiting is open not only to members of the short courses but to any farmer in California. All seed entries should be addressed to B. A. Madsen, assistant professor of Agronomy, at the University Farm, at Davis, Yolo county. Samples should be sent before September 15, if possible. After the seed show, the exhibits will all be returned to the owners, if so desired. Entries submitted should bear the name and address of the sender, the name of the variety, and if possible, the yields which have been obtained, data as to home grown seed, with intelligent selection, is far better than most seed that can be bought, for thus seed can be obtained of plants which have proved themselves fitted to the land where they are to grow and to local climatic and other conditions. It pays to harness up heredity. TO SHOW FRUIT GROWERS HOW TO MIX AND USE SPRAYS The south has at its command a variety of foodstuffs which can be used to excellent advantage as part substitutes for wheat flour in making bread and biscuits. Housewives are urged by specialists in the United States department of agriculture to try some of these in their bread making. Not only will they be able to effect a saving in household expenses, but by reducing in the south the consumption of wheat flour brought in from other sections of the country, they will be helping materially to leave the railroads freer to transport necessities. Among the wheat flour substitutes recommended by specialists for the south are: (1) Banana, cassava, dasheen, and sweet potato. (2) Rice and kafir. (3) Soy beans and peanuts. The substitutes in group 1 should be mixed with good white flour in the proportion of 1 to 3. The resulting bread is excellent in every way. Only a little less rich in protein than ordinary bread, it is much richer in minerals and other important constituents. Dried bananas should be used in making banana flour; the dasheen and sweet potato may be boiled and then mixed with the flour, or the dried product may be used. Rice and kafir should be mixed with flour in the same proportion as the substances in group 1—1 to 3. Bread made from kafir is somewhat darker in color but richer in protein and ash than white bread. Brown rice flour mixed with wheat is also somewhat darker in color than white bread, but it is as rich in protein and other food constituents. The use of polished rice does not add either to the appearance of the bread nor to its nutritive value. Soy beans and peanuts are extremely rich in protein and fat. Flour prepared from either of them, when mixed with white flour in the proportion of 1 to 3, is well adapted to make a nutritious bread. Bread made from white flour alone contains less than 9 per cent protein and only about 0.3 per cent of salt free ash, while bread made from soy bean and wheat flour contains about 14 per cent protein and 1 per cent salt free ash. Bread made from peanut and wheat flour mixture contains about 12 per cent protein and about 0.62 per cent salt free ash. Thus it is seen that even when only 1 part of these substitutes is mixed with 3 parts of white flour the resultant bread is about 40 to 80 per cent richer in and the diminution of the attempted referendum is a decided victory for the people of the state and will not work injury either directly or indirectly, upon any branch of government activity. It is confidently predicted that instead of being injured the schools will be particularly benefited by the operation of the law. Under it waste in all county departments will be reduced to a minimum, thereby leaving more money for such legitimate purposes as require more money. If the schools really require more money than they are now receiving this new law affords them the best possible means of proving their necessities. PLACENTIA CANNERY WILL OPEN NEXT WEEK Reconstruction work at the Placenta cannery is nearly complete and every thing will be ready when the tomato season opens. Glen Crowell, field superintendent, was out on a tour of inspection a few days ago and finds that nearly every field the company has under contract is up to 100 per cent, in all particulars. The tomatoes are coming on nicely and the canny will probably begin work on them during the first week of August. The installation of many new labor saving machines will reduce the working force, which is a good thing this year. As it is, about 50 women will be employed. The new machinery will make their work easier, too, as well as more profitable. The improvements include a new office, nicely furnished and well equipped, and manager Stevenson fits it well. SCHOOL DISTRICT TO BE CUT DOWN One of the freak laws passed by the last legislature is coming home to TO SHOW FRUIT GROWERS HOW TO MIX AND USE SPRAYS It is the patriotic duty of every farmer and fruit grower in California, declares the University of California, to spray his fruit trees during the coming year in such a way as to reduce to a minimum losses from insects or disease. Any fruit grower who wants to know when and how to spray, and what spray to use, and how to prepare or mix sprays, can elain how by attending the farmers short course at the university farm at Davis, from September 24 to November 2. The problem of mixing sprays is a complicated one, for certain sprays cannot be combined without impairing the efficiency of the material or damaging the fruit or foliage. Certain other sprays can be combined with but slight reduction of efficiency or damage to the fruit. The university declares it will cost fruit growers much less to take a brief vacation from their orchards and attend the short course than to stand the losses which come from not spraying right or from mixing sprays wrong. LARGE DEMAND FOR FEDERAL EMPLOYES The entrance of the United States into the war gave an enormous boost to the civil pay roll of the United States, and, particularly in Washington, afforded opportunity for a host of people to achieve their long nourished ambition to get a position in the white flour above containers less than 9 per cent protein and only about 0.3 per cent of salt free ash, while bread made from soy bean and wheat flour contains about 14 per cent protein and 1 per cent salt free ash. Bread made from peanut and wheat flour mixture contains about 12 per cent protein and about 0.62 per cent salt free ash. Thus it is seen that even when only 1 part of these substitutes is mixed with 3 parts of white flour the resultant bread is about 40 to 80 per cent richer in protein and about 50 to 300 per cent richer in mineral ingredients other than salt. As each person, it is calculated, consumes about three fourths of a barrel of flour a year, and as the population of the southern states is approximately 30,000,000, it is obvious that the general use of these wheat flour substitutes would result in a marked reduction in the total quantity of wheat flour consumed in the South. On the basis of a total flour consumption in the Southern States of over 22,000,000 barrels, it has been estimated that if the practice became universal the use of 25 per cent of flour substitutes grown in the south would save over 5,500,000 barrels of flour. As a matter of fact, however, the saving would be far greater than this, because a much larger proportion of flour substitutes can be used in the preparation of biscuits than in bread. In view of this fact the total saving might amount to 10,000,000 barrels of white flour. All this flour, it must be remembered, is imported into the south from other sections and the consumer must pay freight rates on it. IN AID OF NON-RESIDENT CITIZENS Representative James R.

PROFITABLE SHEEP PRODUCTION ON EVERY FARM Wool is one of the few every day essentials that we do not raise in sufficient quantities to meet our wants. Our annual consumption of wool is about six hundred million pounds, this year we will raise about two hundred sixty millions pounds. While our population is increasing our sheep are decreasing. In 1900 there were one million farmers keeping sheep—today there is but few more than half a million engaged in raising sheep and wool. There are more than twelve million less sheep 'oday than in 1900. In the warring countries sheep have been slaughtered by the millions, and consequently there will be a great shortage of sheep and wool for years to come, which means that the sheep raiser is going to receive large profits from his flock. It is claimed that the United States can profitably increase the number of sheep to one hundred and fifty million.
