GREAT YEAR FOR CALIFORNIA ORANGES EXTRAORDINARY CROP PREDICTED BY EXPERT WRITER FOR THE COMING SEASON HIGHEST PRICES EVER KNOWN WILL PROBABLY PREVAIL THIS FALL "In thirty odd years of experience in growing oranges in Southern California and in the Fruit Exchange," said the veteran, P. J. Dreher, the other day. "I have never known so marvelous a promise of productivity and splendid market prices as now seems to be in store for the California citrus fruit growers. The blooming has been marvelously prodigious, and, with the solution of several problems in the growing of orange crops the outlook is certainly most promising. I look for the record breaking yield of all varieties of oranges next winter and spring and the finest kind of a market." Like reports come from every part of the citrus growing region, writes H. G. Tinsley in Orchard and Farm. It looks good from any angle of one's vision. Go out into the orange and lemon valleys of Southern California and note the supreme optimism that possesses the growers. Take note of the high prices at which the old time who has ever had any experience in growing the golden spheres for market how the heart of the average grower sinks very deep each June and early July as he daily observes what seemed to him a magnificent promise of abundance in his grove in May suddenly become a fear by reason of the carpeting of the ground with tiny green oranges beneath the trees. Many a grower has felt his May time hopes going rapidly into thin air as each morning he viewed the earth newly covered with green pellets, which he had a few days before had bright anticipations of harvesting seven or eight months later as golden oranges at $1.50 or $2 a box off the trees. Now science has shown that the annual June nightmare of a drop may be easily avoided. The experiment has been tried so successfully during the extra heated term last year that the state university horticultural experts have decided that they are on the right road to checking forever the June drop in the orange groves, especially in navel groves. The remedy—if not an absolute cure—is the creation of moisture among the trees. Last June amid most trying circumstances the drop was checked to a marvelous degree. Cover crops of alfalfa planted between the rows of trees will do the work. Simplicity itself.* In past years the thrifty grower has been accustomed to planting a cover crop of peas or some other legume among his orange trees and plowing the growth of green vines under the soil in the late spring so as to give the nitrogenous qualities of the legumes to the soil. The ground has been left barren by June, when warm weather and drying winds have come over the grove.

It looks good from any angle of one's vision. Go out into the orange and lemon valleys of Southern California and note the supreme optimism that possesses the growers. Take note of the high prices at which the old time groves have been selling lately to the veterans in the industry. Groves that you and I might have had for $1000 or $1200 an acre two or three years ago, now sell to men who have had a generation of experience in orange and lemon production at prices varying from $2000 to $3000. Every day the daily papers are telling of how this or that grove has had a buyer at the biggest valuation ever known in the respective neighborhoods. Many reasons obtain for the extreme optimism of the growers. The marvelous blossoming of all varieties of orange trees in California is one of the chief reasons. Never before in the history of growing oranges in the state has the blooming been so prolific. After the longest period of rest the groves have ever had they have come forth rejuvenated by a long period of cessation from productivity and have made up for lost time in a way that only nature knows how. On June 16 and 17 the warmest period ever known since oranges and lemons were planted in California fell upon the state. That caused a most serious "June dropping," which cut the orange yield down even to fifteen per cent of a normal crop. Hundreds of navel orange groves everywhere in Southern California suffered a dropping of ten boxes a tree while the fruit was the size of peas. The ground beneath the trees was literally covered with tiny green oranges. A normal production of 31,000 carloads of oranges was cut down in two days of heat to 7730 carloads. The trees relieved of the burden of bearing a normal crop have had a long and beneficial rest. Now they are ready for a great year of productivity and they have signalized the year by a prodigious blossoming. It has been a sight worth going long and far to look upon. The trees have been so coated with immaculate white blossoms that they have looked like immense balls of snow atop the ground. The peculiarly sweet scent of trees will do the work. Simplicity itself. In past years the thrifty grower has been accustomed to planting a cover crop of peas or some other legume among his orange trees and plowing the growth of green vines under the soil in the late spring so as to give the nitrogenous qualities of the legumes to the soil. The ground has been left barren by June, when warm weather and drying winds have come over the grove. For several years the state horticultural authorities have been experimenting with summer cover crops in the groves and they have found that the dry winds and absence of cover crops in the groves to keep the earth cool and to shed moisture around the grove are the reasons for the June drop. In fact in localities nearer the sea where the warm days do not come till July the dropping of navels occurs more frequently in July than in June—the farther from the ocean the earlier in the summer occurs the annual drooping of the tiny fruit—a month or so after the blossoming when the fruit is setting. The state university people are of the opinion that the planting of such moisture making cover crops as alfalfa will save any navel orange crop from the dreaded dropping in the warm days of early summer. "I am absolutely certain that by planting thick cover crops among the trees on any orange grove the loss of tens of thousands of dollars annually may be saved to the orange growers" said Dr. E. J. Wickson, one of the most eminent horticultural authorities in the west, recently at a citrus fruit growers' convention in Porterville. He went on to say that the loss to the citrus fruit industry of California by reason of the "June drop" has been at least a million and a half dollars each summer for a generation or more. Last June a dozen navel orange growers in the Uplan dand Ontario district had their groves planted to a summer cover crop of alfalfa or peas when the phenomenally hot wave of June 16 came sweeping over the state, they had the least dropping of green fruit of anybody in the district or in that whole section. They had almost normal crops ready for the market last spring. Dr. Wickson has said that the weather which has prevailed in Southern California since the April blossoming has been ideal for a setting of the new crop. Taking it all in all the California orange growers have good reason for all varieties of oranges next winter and spring and the finest kind of a market."

The trees relieved of the burden of bearing a normal crop have had a long and beneficial rest. Now they are ready for a great year of productivity and they have signalized the year by a prodigious blossoming. It has been a sight worth going long and far to look upon. The trees have been so coated with immaculate white blossoms that they have looked like immense balls of snow atop the ground. The peculiarly sweet scent of blooming oranges has pervaded the air for miles around. So far as physical conditions are concerned the citrus trees of California are in prime shape—never better. Another reason for the fruit growers' opinion is the rare cleanliness of their groves throughout the length and breadth of the orange and lemon growing region. The hot weather of last year did more to exterminate scale pests and to rid the groves of fungus growth than any agency ever did before, either by fumigation or by sprays of chemical solutions. Old Sol has done for the fruit growers in ridding their groves of black scale and red spiders what they could not have obtained by the expenditures of tens of thousands of dollars' worth of chemicals and months of labor. In the Redlands, Riverside, and Pomona districts, the old time home of the naval orange, the groves have not been quite so clean in foliage and so wholesome in appearance in the memory of the growers. Hundreds of growers say that the unprecedented heat of 1917 has been a help to the citrus industry in that it has put tree productivity ahead for at least twelve years. But more than all else, the optimism among citrus fruit growers is the finding of the cause of the "June drop" in orange groves, especially in navel groves. There is no need to tell one June 16 came sweeping over the state, they had the least dropping of green fruit of anybody in the district or in that whole section. They had almost normal crops ready for the market last spring. Dr. Wickson has said that the weather which has prevailed in Southern California since the April blossoming has been ideal for a setting of the new crop. Taking it all in all the California orange growers have good reason for their optimism for the yield which will be ready for the harvest next winter. They have besides the strong conditions for crop production, the best outlook for a most profitable market. The foreign supply of oranges and lemons to American ports has become during these war days almost negligible. It has been the smallest since February that it ever was in the same period of time. Scores of eastern importers of citrus fruits from Spain and Sicily and the West Indies have gone out of business during the last year after having vainly tried to stem the tide of business reverses since the war began. The market for Valencia oranges presages a wonderful demand for a navel fruit next season. Today Valencia oranges are bringing the biggest prices ever known for such variety of fruit in America at this period of the year. Fruit shipping experts make no bones of predicting that by the end of September Valencia oranges out of California will be bringing the topmost prices for any grade or quality of oranges known in the history of the trade. TRINITY'S RECORD Trinity county, with an area of some 3,000 square miles, and a population of only 3,000 people, with no moving ANAHEIM GAZETTE ANAHEIM GAZETTE picture theatres or populous centers, and with but few roads, has, nevertheless, a war record which is hard to beat, according to the report of Judge James W. Bartlett, chairman of the council of defense. More than 100 of her young men—over three per cent of the total population—have long since joined the army, either by enlistment or through the draft. As a result, the labor shortage within the county is acute, but the situation will be successfully met by cooperative work among the farmers, who have determined to raise this year, more foodstuffs and beef than Trinity county has ever before produced. In spite of the fact that it has no industries employing large numbers of employees, and does not receive any revenue from "war industries," this mountain county very nearly trebled its quota of $18,000 for the Third Liberty loan, and, on April 1, was number 8 in the list of northern California counties in the purchase of war savings stamps. Its Red Cross chapter, with over 1,000 members (33 per cent of the total population) has, in the past year, shipped to the parent organization over 2,000 articles including hospital supplies and knitted goods. Now that the second Red Cross campaign is ended, the county council will, according to its chairman, carry out a vigorous campaign for the prevention and suppression of fires which have in the past, done so much damage to food, forage and forest within the state. With the help of the state forester and local officers of the U.S. Forest service, and with the loyal support of the residents, Trinity county is determined to make a record in fire prevention and protection of which it and the whole state may well be proud. ROAD CAN BE BUILT ON RIVER'S EDGE Engineer Hamlin Says Its Maintenance Will be Costly Wednesday afternoon Homer Hamlin, civil engineer, of Los Angeles, told the board of supervisors that a road could be maintained at the edge of the Santa Ana river at Sulphur Slide. "It will take considerable money," said he, "but it can be done. I advise riprap of heavy stone along the present wall at Sulphur Slide and above. I do not advise cutting into the side of the mountain above Sulphur Slide, for the mountain will almost certainly slide. I'd riprap out always and maintain the road between the riprap and the edge of the mountain." Hamlin said that a road could be built over Sulphur Hill, where there would be a grade of six per cent upon a road that would climb 203 feet above the mesa and 300 feet above the wall, but that the road would probably be subjected to slides. Hamlin was asked how much it would cost to riprap the portion of the river edge from Sulphur Slide to a point above the washouts above Sulphur Slide, which distance Supervisor Finley said would be 4,000 feet. Hamlin said he could not say without going into details, with borings, etc., as he did not know how deep the wall would have to sink. "It will be expensive," said he, "and it remains for you to decide whether the road at the river's edge is worth the added cost." "There are two questions for us to decide," said Supervisor Talbert. "One is the question of engineering and the other is the question of business, the question of expense. According to Mr. Hamlin's statements it can be done. If we can't hold that road at the river."

NO MORE DIRT SLIDES IN PANAMA CANAL Engineer Talks to Santa Ana Audience About Big Ditch Slides in the Panama canal are a thing of the past, in the opinion of W. M. Bekding, who was engaged on the canal work for several years as master mechanic and who recently addressed the Santa Ana merchants in attendance at the weekly chamber of commerce luncheon. Belding is now a resident of that city. He talked entertainingly of conditions during the period of work and described briefly the operation of the big enterprise. He says that the canal is now paying running expenses, and that while he thought at first it probably would be fifty years before the canal would earn interest on the investment, he now believes that had it not been for the war earnings within ten years would have increased to the point where a fair rate of interest would have been returned. "Contrary to general belief, waters from the Pacific and Atlantic oceans do not meet in the canal," said Belding. "Lakes between make this impossible." In describing the locks and the process of raising and lowering the ships from one level to another, he said that chains are stretched across the canal to prevent a boat passing through from striking the gates, should an accident of any kind happen. He gives John F. Stevens, engineer, credit for developing the plans which were the basis for carrying out the big project. Stevens left the work before his plans had been fully developed, but they were carried out by others.

One way is to serve breadless meals now and then. Have you ever tried them? Breadless meals need planning ahead. You can't take just any menu and take the bread out and expect the family to like it. Bread has several functions in the meal, and fully deserves the high opinion which we have of it. It is one of our best foods for fuel, furnishing carbohydrate in the form of starch and also body building protein and mineral substances. But if the meal contains enough other food to furnish the starch and the protein needed why not save the bread? Try planning your meals so that these wheat saving dishes take the place of the bread. Potatoes, sweet potatoes or dasheens—mashed, baked, boiled, or riced—rice, oven fried cornmeal mush, hominy grits, large hominy, baked beans, lima beans, split peas—all are good served as vegetables, with meat and gravy. It is not necessary to serve more than one of these starchy foods at a meal, but serving two of them, for instance, well browned, crusty croquettes or fried mush (and these can be cooked in the oven instead of in the fat kettle) in addition to potatoes or sweet potatoes, makes the meal more tasty for many of us and is an easy way of securing variety. Aside from the question of economy and convenience the important thing in such a case is not the number of cereal foods served, but the character of the meal as a whole, which must be truly varied and not made up almost entirely of any single type of food. We must have other kinds of food in our diet in abundance as well as starchy foods. "It will be expensive," said he, "and it remains for you to decide whether the road at the river's edge is worth the added cost." "There are two questions for us to decide," said Supervisor Talbert. "One is the question of engineering and the other is the question of business, the question of expense. According to Mr. Hamlin's statements it can be done. If we can't hold that road at the river edge, I favor going above." It was found that heavy rock can be bought at Temescal for not over 65 cents a ton. It could be hauled by truck. Figures on hauling have not yet been secured. THE KAISER'S TALK TO HELL The kaiser called the devil up on the telephone one day, The girl at central listened in to all they had to say. "Hell?" she heard the kaiser's voice, "Is old man Satan home? Just tell him it is Kaiser Bill that wants him on the phone." The devil said "Hello" to Bill and Bill said "How are you?" "I'm running here a hell on earth, so tell me what to do." What can I do "the devil said, 'My dear old Kaiser Bill', If there's a thing that I can do to help you, I sure will." The kaiser said, "Now listen and I will try to tell The way I'm running on earth a modern hell. My army went through Belgium shooting women and children down; We tore up all their country and blew up every town. I've saved for this many years and have started out to kill; That it may be a modern job, you leave that to Bill. My Zeps dropped bombs on cities, killing both old and young. And those the Zeppelins didn't get we've taken out and hung. I started out for Paris with the aid of poison gas, The Belgians damn them, stopped us and would not let us pass. My submarines are devils; why you should see them fight, They go a-sneaking through the sea and sink a ship on sight. I was running things to suit me till a year or so ago, When a man called Woodrow Wilson wrote me to go more slow. He says to me, 'Dear William, we don't want to make you sore, So be sure and tell your U-boats to sink our ships no more; We have told you for the last time, so Dear Bill, it's up to you, And if you do not stop it you will have He gives John F. Stevens, engineer, credit for developing the plans which were the basis for carrying out the big project. Stevens left the work before his plans had been fully developed, but they were carried out by others. Goethals has wonderful ability for handling men, treating them justly and insisting on reciprocation of fair treatment. He declared that the project was entirely free of graft—free, so far as proven graft was concerned. There were charges of graft, of course, but none that were well founded. Belding had charge of building operations and said that his department handled about 12,000,000 feet of lumber, erecting 1500 new buildings, ranging in cost from $500 to $300,000. This in addition to the repairing of a great many buildings built by others who attempted to put the canal through. Sanitation provided under the direction of Col. Gorgas had wiped out yellow fever and it is now unknown there. The climate he declares is not bad and that he had seen warmer days here in Santa Ana than he had on the canal, the temperature there ranging from 79 to 98. Touching on the slides in Culebra cut, he said that the slides that had occurred were anticipated and that engineers figured that it would be cheaper to let the slides take place and the dirt fall into the canal and remove it by water than to move it with steam shovels. Vessels passing through the canal pay as high as $12,000 toll, depending on the size and cargo. As many as 200 have passed through in one month. "To eat potatoes is the best kind of local, home grown patriotism." In addition to potatoes or sweet potatoes, makes the meal more tasty for many of us and is an easy way of securing variety. Aside from the question of economy and convenience the important thing in such a case is not the number of cereal foods served, but the character of the meal as a whole, which must be truly varied and not made up almost entirely of any single type of food. We must have other kinds of food in our diet in abundance as well as starchy foods. Therefore, in planning your breadless meals make sure that you serve an abundance of fresh vegetables, such as green cabbage, kale, turnip tops, onions, onion tops, dandelions and other greens, asparagus, green peas, tomatoes, spinach, carrots, and so on, choosing those which are in season and abundant in your garden or your market. With a varied meal planned in the usual way, except that the servings of the starchy foods and the vegetables are larger than usual to make up for the bread, you can have a breakfast, dinner or supper which may be pleasing to the taste and which will meet the body needs. There are other food combinations and dishes which you can take advantage of in planning the meals with bread. For instance, you may prefer to replace part of your usual allowance of bread with a wheat saving dessert. These desserts furnish much the same food materials as bread, but in a different form: Rice pudding, hominy pudding, Indian pudding, tapioca cream or fruit tapioca, cornstarch pudding, baked bananas (use bananas which are underripe, because they are richer in starch than the ripe ones) or gingerbreads made from the wheat substitutes. Of course, we all like bread and you will not want to make a general practice of breadleys meals. But an occa- They go a-sneaking through the sea and sink a ship o'nsight.

I did not listen to him, and he's coming after me, With a million Yankee soldiers from their home across the sea. Now that's why I called you, Satan, for I want advice from you, And I knew you would tell me just what I ought to do."

I've been a mean old devil but not half as mean as you; The minute that you get here I will leave my job for you. I'll be ready for your coming and I'll keep the fires all bright, I'll have your room all ready when the Yanks begin to fight; For the boys in khakl'll get you, I have nothing more to tell— Hang up the phone and get your hat, and meet me here in hell."

Assuming that the garbage is legitimate waste—that no housekeeper is throwing away any food suitable for human use—the points out that "every ton of it has its exact equivalent in artillery shells and foodstuffs."

Imperial's cantaloupes are earlier than those of any other section in America. Uncle Sam, anxious that all his nephews and nieces be not denied their breakfast delicacy, has ordered transportation facilities to be strained to provide the Imperial valley growers with 5500 refrigerator cars to move the crop. It is believed by experts that the melons are in better condition than they have been for years. Growers have been giving the fruit heavy irrigations, to bring to final maturity the heavily laden vines. Pickers began moving through the patches weeks ago, selecting the very early melops for express shipments. Now carloads are being shipped. The height of the season will be about June 25, when two or three trainloads per day will be sent out. About 80 per cent of the crop is sent eastward. I. T. Sparks, commercial agent of the Southern Pacific, has finished a census of the cantaloupe fields. He finds that the total acreage this year is 10,896, divided by sections as follows: Brawley, 4489 acres; Heber, 1170; Calexico, 883; Rockwood, 860; Westmorland, 825; Grape, 667; Imperall, 510; Meloland, 400; Callipatria, 382; Niland, 160. The relative immensity of the Imperial Valley cantaloupe crop, considering other American patches, as reported by the 1917 bureau of crop estimates of the U.S. department of agriculture, shows the dominant position of the Imperial melon growing industry.
