BIG CORN CROP IS NOW MOVING More Than 3,000 Million Bushels Raised in 1917—Gives Big Surplus. SAVES WORLD FOOD SITUATION America Beginning Greatest Corn Consumption in History, Using Cereal in Many Delicious Dishes. Corn, America's greatest cereal crop, is now moving rapidly to market. More than 3,000 million bushels—30 bushels for every man, woman and child in America—were raised in 1917. It was a mighty crop. The actual increase is about 500 million bushels. And this extra store of grain is coming on to the market in the nick of time, since the American wheat surplus has been sent to help feed famine threatened Europe. Just as it happened in the Colonial days, the War of the Revolution, and the Civil War, corn has actually become the nation's mainstay. In the entire list of America's food commodities there is no item that is better than corn. In puddings, bread, corn pone, and as hominy combined with meat or eggs, corn is without a peer. Housewives are fast learning the large number of delicious dishes that may be made with corn and their families are benefiting by an increased use of the cereal. Corn, more than any other cereal, contains all of the elements essential to maintaining life and health. In order that the fighting men abroad and in the army camps at home may be fed, and in order that actual famine may be kept from the nations associated with America in the war, the citizens of America are finding corn products delicious and palatable. PRICES FIXED ON FLOUR AND SUBSTITUTES Food Administrator, Millers and Grocers Agree on a Schedule Stabilized prices to consumers for white flours and other wheat flours; together with their substitutes, were fixed Saturday by the United States Food Administration for California, through an agreement with millers and retail grocers. The new prices, fixed to prevent advances because of the increased demand for substitutes, took effect on Monday, throughout territory surrounding points of distribution, such as Los Angeles, San Francisco, Sacramento, Stockton and Fresno. Freight differentials will make some slight variance in the prices in remote country districts. The new prices are: 49-1b. 24½-1b. 10-1b Family flours ... $2.95 $1.55 $.70 Graham flour ... 2.80 1.45 .70 Entire wheat flour 2.90 1.50 .75 Rye flour ... 3.05 1.60 .75 Rye meal ... 3.00 1.55 .75 These substitutes will be sold in equal weight with white flour at these prices: Barley flour ... 2.90 $1.50 $.75 Cornmeal (white). 3.00 1.55 .75 Cornmeal (yellow). 2.75 1.40 .70 The substitutes mentioned, together with hominy, buckwheat flour, rice flour, oatmeal, corn grits and rolled oats will be sold to the consumer in equal quantities with purchases of white flour. Rye flour and rye meal, which can be shipped to the entente Allies were not classed as substitutes by the Food Administration although they may be purchased alone.

No date for the been set by the publications are that notice will be given council of defense on the registration. Housewives are fast learning the large number of delicious dishes that may be made with corn and their families are benefiting by an increased use of the cereal. Corn, more than any other cereal, contains all of the elements essential to maintaining life and health. In order that the fighting men abroad and in the army camps at home may be fed, and in order that actual famine may be kept from the nations associated with America in the war, the citizens of America are finding corn products delicious and palatable on "wheatless days" and glory in the fact that "wheatless days" here mean more wheat for the war worn allied nations in Europe. England, France and Italy, must be fed from America's great storehouse. They will get some corn—especially Italy—but most of their grain shipments must be wheat. Their ability to use corn is small compared to the facilities they have for using wheat. And it is the opinion of officials in Washington that the present is no time to try and change the eating habits of Europe. America's greatest use of corn will be in the form of corn bread and corn meal, mixed with wheat in the making of leavened bread. Mixed with 80 per cent, wheat flour, corn meal can be used in bread making, producing a loaf more nutritious than bread baked with wheat alone. It is a fact corn millers will verify that dozens of the large American bakers have been successfully using a corn flour in bread making for several years. Hominy grits, served at breakfast with a poached egg, or eaten at any other meal with meats or gravy, is another use of corn that will become unusually popular during the war. Corn syrup to sweeten corn cakes, and corn oil for use in all kinds of cooking, are two more products that are already welcomed in thousands of American homes. THE UNITED STATES FOOD ADMINISTRATION SAYS: Food saving is in its essence the daily individual service of all the people. Every group can substitute, and even the great majority of thrifty people can save a little—and the more luxurious elements of the population can, by reduction to simple living, save much. This means no more than that we should eat plenty, but wisely and without waste. IMPERIAL COTTON The gross returns from Imperial Valley's cotton crop for the season just closing will exceed the huge total of $12,000,000, or practically double the amount of last year. FROM THE ARABIC He that knows not, and knows not that he knows not, is a fool. Pass him by. He that knows not, and knows that he knows not, is worthy. Teach him. He that knows, and knows not that he knows, is asleep. Awake him. He that knows, and knows that he knows, is wise. Follow him. MAY REVOKE GRAZING PERMITS Range Users Warned Payments for Waiver of Grazing Privilege is Sufficient Cause for Revocation The secretary of agriculture is notifying all holders of permits for grazing live stock on the national forests that the payment of any bonus or allowance for waver of the grazing privilege in connection with sales of live stock or ranch properties will be cause for revocation of the permit. This is in accordance with one of the regulations governing the use of the national forests for grazing purposes, which provides that permits will be granted only for the exclusive use and benefit of the owners of the stock and will be forfeited if sold or transferred in any manner or for any consideration. To protect permittees who may wish to dispose of their property against the losses which sacrifice sales would involve, it has been customary to allow continued use of the national forest ranges by the new owner. Without some provision for this, the forest service grazing officials point out, holders of permits who wish to go out of business would not be able to obtain a fair value for their property. But the procedure has aimed throughout at such safeguarding of the situation as would prevent the acquisition of anything approaching vested rights in the public property by private property by private individuals or companies. Owing to the great and ever in- IMPERIAL COTTON The gross returns from Imperial Valley's cotton crop for the season just closing will exceed the huge total of $12,000,000, or practically double the amount of last year. Two compresses handle all the cotton ginned in the valley. The Calexico compress reports receipts of 40,800 bales, and the Imperial compress 11,000 bales. It is conservatively estimated that 8000 bales have been ginned and not compressed and there are about 5500 bales standing in the field a total of 65,300 bales, an increase of 20 per cent over last year's crop, the next best record. If the valley gins 65,000 bales this season, the gross receipts at the present price f.o.b. Imperial Valley points will be $9,750,000. For every bale of cotton, about 1100 pounds of seed is sold. Therefore, 35,750 tons of cotton-seed at $52 per ton will bring a gross of $1,859,000, and other cotton products $100,000 more, a total of $11,709,000. Several thousand bales of Durango long staple are bringing 10 cents more a pound than short staple, and this extra amount will increase the total nearly $1,000,000. Enough Pima Egyptian cotton seed is being planted in the valley this year to assure the seeding of 10,500 acres to this desirable fiber, which now sells at 73 cents per pound. Frank Steadman has sold his span of fine mules to Peter Nicolas. ANAHEIM GAZETTE MANY MEN WANTED IN SHIPBUILDING YARDS Applications for Jobs Can be Made to Judge Howard or Marshal Kellenberger First steps toward securing California's quota of 11,310 men for shipbuilding purposes were taken Wednesday by the Orange County Council of Defense when registrars for the various sections of the county were appointed.

SPEED UP ON POULTRY In these days when many inexperienced people are endeavoring to reduce their high cost of living and help food supply by raising poultry, a few hints from those who know how are acceptable. The following, written by Mrs.Susan Swaysgood of Pomona, for the Pacific Rural Press, might be read with profit. It is about time the plans were made for the season's work. Some have chicks on hand already, but unless you are well fixed for taking care of them, the later chicks will be more profitable. Cold frosty nights are hard on little chicks that are not well protected from the changes of daytime and night temperature. The average rancher would do better with hen hatched chicks than hot air brooder chick. The former is a natural, healthy chick to commence with and it will keep free from disease longer. It will mature quicker, and lay more eggs without losing stamina than the incubator chick. Where the incubator and brooder shine are in numbers and man power. One man can care for five times the number of chicks, and the number of eggs in course of hatching with incubators than he can with hens. Hen hatching is not a matter of just putting the eggs under a hen, unless she is an exceptional hen, it is a case of watching her and see that she lives up to her contract both with eggs and chicks. Cracked corn and rolled oats make the best feed I know of for setting hens; the oats are nourishing and easily digested, while the cracked corn is heating and lasts longer because it digests slower. Whole corn is very hard to digest and often causes indigestion and diarrhea. Three dustings, and more are better if the hen is lousy to commence with, but three are indispensable to success. Dust the hen whee hase is first set, then ten days later, and the last time a day or two before she hatches, and once a week as long as she runs with chicks. Regularity in this matter is what insures the lives and health of the flock. Some people dust a hen once and expect that will do; then, when they discover more lice they blame the powder. A hen shakes the powder out of her feathers, so it can've be blamed, but if it acts quickly it does all the work with the lice that are then on the hen, but nits keep hatching an dthat is why frequent dustings are necessary.

Some have chicks on hand already, but unless you are well fixed for taking care of them, the later chicks will be more profitable. Cold frosty nights are hard on little chicks that are not well protected from the changes of daytime and night temperature. The average rancher would do better with hen hatched chicks than to give one hen all she can cover in a small wind proof coop or house and shut them in nights. I have raised as high as four hundred chicks with hen hatching and brooding. It was a big job, but I enjoyed it. I once read of a woman in Minnesota who raised, or rather hatched, 300 chicks up to May 10th, when a big rain storm came up and washed out all her little coops, drowned all her chicks and many of her hen mothers, and after picking up her dead, she went to work and hatched every good egg she had until she had made up for the ravages of the storm. In the fall a man came and offered her $1 apiece for all she had hatched, but she would not sell. The next man that came looking for poultry offered her $2 a head. Then she got curious and asked him why he wanted to pay $2 a head for her fowls and would pay only 50 cents for a neighbor's fowls. Being a fairly honest sort of man, he told her that whether she knew it or not she had some of the finest crevecoeurs in the United States, and her neighbor had just mongrels. The woman was a French woman and her folks had sent her a pen of these beautiful birds from her old home for a wedding present, and because of that she had worked so hard to make good. Her brooding hens were all common stock, because her home fowls had a good house, high and dry. The buyer adviser her to keep her best specimens and breed and hatch all she could the next year and he would contract with her to take all of them and pay her $2.50 a head regardless of sex. She did so, and was able to pay off the mortgage on her and her husband's home. And this is a time when we all need to practice courage, to do our level best to produce all the foodstuffs we possibly can, and do it in the spirit of this good French woman—just to make good to our country. Now, it is a good practice to set several hens at one time, or at least three. Don't put too many eggs in a nest or with profit. It can be blamed, but if it acts quickly it does all the work with the lice that are then on the hen, but nits keep hatching an dthat is why frequent dustings are necessary. DECIDUOUS AND CITRUS NOTES California Peach Growers, Inc., plan to erect a plant at Hanford to handle the crop of Kings county members of the association. A shipment of 1500 apple trees from Oregon to Mondocino county was found to carry oak root fungus in 20 per cent of the trees. Planting of fruit trees will be heavy in Kings and Tulare counties this year. Prunes are the favorite in both counties. Apricots will also be extensively planted in Kings. Thirteen and a half cents is being paid growers for Calimyrna figs as against 10½ cents last year. It is reported growers in Fresno county are colding large quantities for higher prices. M.W.Hubbard raises a very fine brand of orange in the Placer county foothills near Auburn which causes the local papers to call attention to the fact that there are thousands of acres in that locality suitable for citrus fruit culture. The horticultural commissioner of Tulare county reports exceptional success during the past season in combating orchard pests, results in many cases running as high as 99 per cent and making further work unnecessary for some time to come. Fresno is to be the headquarters of still another growers' cooperative association, the preliminary steps having been taken to organize the California Fig Growers' association along similar lines followed successfully by the raisin and peach growers associations. According to H.A.Hyde, the Watsonville nurseryman, there are no large commercial plantings being made this season in his locality and what is being done mainly runs to the fruits suitable for drying in anticipation of future heavy demands for dried fruits for export. A second payment of over a million dollars was made today by the California Peach Growers' association of Fresno to the members. This was 2c a pound on No. 1 and No. 2 stock, 1917 crop, and brings the price to 7c or $140 a ton, with a still further payment yet C. E. Jones, Fullerton. M. F. Clarko, Brea. A. J. Wilson, La Habra.

And this is a time when we all need to practice courage, to do our level best to produce all the foodstuffs we possibly can, and do it in the spirit of this good French woman—just to make good to our country. Now, it is a good practice to set several hens at one time, or at least three.Don't put too many eggs in a nest or some of them will be sure to get chilled when the hen turns and shuffles them around. If you mark the eggs in a nest, and then watch for several days you will notice that one day a certain egg will be on the outsid; the next day it will be another egg on the outside, and these eggs get more or less chilled and fail to hatch. But if the hen can cover all of the eggs there will be no outsiders; therefore none will get chilled.Say we set three hens with 13 eggs each, which is plenty for cold weather, and ten out of each nest starts.On the seventh day test the eggs and let the hens give all their heat to the eggs with chicks in; if there is a greater percentage of non fertile eggs it may be possible to double up the eggs, giving half to each hen; then, when the hatch comes off, double up the chicks and give them all to one hen This requires a good sheltter for hen and chicks,because if she is the least bit neglected or the coop is cold there will be a loss of chicks. But a good sized hen in a good coop well sheltered will take care of 30 chicks in our climate,and you set off the hens feed against coal oil it is about equal; but there is no comparison between a henhatched and henbrooded chick and an incubator and If You Can’t Help “Over HERE” You Can at least Help “Over HERE” Buy War-Savings Stamps at your bank, postoffice, store F. A. Yungbluth to be made. The 1916 crop was sold at $120 a ton. A second payment will be made by the California Associated Raisin Co. to the members on the seedless variety of $50 per ton, which will bring the price paid to $120 a ton to date. After final payment has been made on the 1917 crop, the price is expected to exceed that of 1916, which was $131 per ton. Mr. Niswander of the California Peach association reports a very small hold over. The only variety left is the standard. There was a large proportion of the crop this year that ran small, due to the extreme heat and heavy crop. Now that the grading is tall completed, it is expected that practically everything will be sold out before the next crop comes in. Field Deputy R. P. Cundiff has reported on the citrus shipments for the past season from counties north of the Tehachapi. Extensive tests for soluble solids and acid developed but few cases where the ratio was below 8 to 1. In several counties especially in the Sacramento valley the proportion of substantially colored fruit was low. This is the first record of citrus standardization tests and it will require three or four years before any definite conclusions can be drawn. The 76th, it should be explained is none other than the heretofore gunless home guard company of Orange. Now it's the 76th California, fully armed, fully uniformed and with a definite identity mark, the first home guard organization in Orange county to be officially recognized by the state. Formal notification was received Monday morning from Adjutant General J. J. Borree, stating that a license would be issued to the local company to drill with arms and officially designating the company as the 76th California. The letter from the adjutant leaves the stamp of success upon a long, patient, persistent and finally peppery, effort of Captain Ralph to unwind the red tape at Sacramento and get action upon the application for organization license. The matter was taken up personally with Gov. Stephens on his recent visit and finally, when it was thoroughly understood that no uniforms or arms were asked by the local company, but that mere permission to use what they had was wanted, the license came through.

Leland S. Hatfield, who is at the front in France. In part he says: I received John Ziegler's box of cigars on the 26th and yours on the 31st. It certainly seemed great to some some "honest to God" cigars again. I am much obliged to you for sending them. I wish you would thank John for his donation. I received a fine box from somebody out there, but there was no name or address, just Orange county Calif. If you know who it came from thank them for me. I have also received three Gazettes and it sure seems good to see the old paper again. We are drilling pretty hard as well as doing a lot of fatigue work now. It means the trenches pretty "pronto," I guess. I certainly do like this machine gun work and am very glad I got transferred to it, although I was not at first. It is so cold here that a few days ago I got up to sign the morning report and found the ink in my fountain pen frozen. I took a fine ride today on my brone with two other officers. We visited some buildings over a thousand years old. They were built by the Romans. There are a lot of interesting things around here, but I haven't time to see them. 76TH COMPANY IS ORANGE'S TITLE Home Guard Company is Recognized By the State.

(Authorized Publicity) CAL D. LESTER MAKES STATEMENT AS CANDIDATE FOR COUNTY TREASURER In starting my campaign for the election to the office of County Treasurer I desire to make a statement to the voters. If elected Treasurer I shall run the office in an up to date, business like manner and my aim will be to have a set of books that will compare favorably with any Treasurer's in the state. I shall economize from the start. The Statutes allow two deputies who are employed in this office at the present time. I can assure you that the office can be run in first class shape with one deputy, provided an efficient Treasurer devotes his entire time at the desk. I shall run the office with one deputy. This will be saving to the taxpayers to the extent of $8600.00 during the term. Orange County is the only county in the state from the 7th class to the 18th class where the Satutes provide for more than one deputy to a County Treasurer. Orange county is in the 14th class and provides for two deputies for the Treasurer. Think it over, voters of Orange County, and if you desire an economical, business-like administration, give me your support. (Signed) CAL D. LESTER.
