GREEN FORAGE FOR POULTRY FLOCKS FIETY PER CENT OF YOUR HENS' RATIONS CAN BE GROWN ON SMALL LOTS ALFALFA AND OTHER CLOVERS MOST VALUABLE FEED FOR CHICKENS Possibly at no time during the past twenty-five years has the matter of food for farm animals been so acute nor so important as during the period of the war. Much bearing on the subject has already appeared, particularly as it pertains to the cereals and their products. We take up the subject just at this time to put in a plea to the poultry breeders to grow as much green food as available land will admit of for certain it is that green stuff is to occupy a much wider application in animal feeding than has heretofore been the rule. In England the leafy parts of plants and their equivalent in vegetable roots and tubers have, by intelligent treatment, become from 45 to 50 per cent of the ration fed to poultry—the remaining ingredients being such grains and their products as the food administration will allow and of which there is an available supply. On this war ration the owners of fowls have been able to maintain their flocks and obtain satisfactory crops of hen fruit. As the war continues, much the same conditions will come to pass in dently appreciate the flavor. Carrots and turnips may be used raw or cooked, pulped or mashed with bran or other meal. Carrots contain a valuable principle which benefits poultry. Potatoes in the raw state contain about 75 per cent water, 2 of protein, a trace of fat and 20 of carbohydrates. Cleaned and cooked in their skins, they may be mashed with bran, thus affording an occasional change in the diet. According to recent discoveries of research men, we have not given to the leaves of certain food plants the dietary values they are entitled to. Not only do they supply certain elements which are absent in the seed (grains) of plants, but essentials that make for health, robust growth and activity. Possibly the success attained in England by poultry breeders in feeding a ration consisting of nearly 50 per cent leaves and edible roots and tubers points the way to a wider use of these easily attainable products. What we would like to see elucidated and practically worked out is a combination of green foods in variety amalgamated with grains and their products (meals), each to consist of 50 per cent, or one-half, of a balanced ration capable of sustaining life, a robust health and profitable production. These several ingredients to be composed of such vegetable foods as will luxuriate under a California sun, and such grains and their products as are available in our markets at prices justifying their general uses as poultry foods. CROWN STAGE LINE GRANTED ANOTHER PERMIT Supervisors Accept Bids for Improving Yorba Linda Highways The application of the Crown Stage Company for permit to operate an auto stage line between Santa Ana and Laguna Beach, was granted by South Main street, skidding machine, tubes of gasoline. Gasoline ignited, and all over his clothing help, and Decker wished to respond. When he was enveloped in fire of which shot high Decker called to be the grass, and Hat lawn of J. B. Win Decker, and rolled Decker in the men's garden hose on him. When the flames he was wrapped in as comfortable as medical aid was by physician was sum hospital at once an injured man into a drove at breakneck pital. "Shoot me and misery," cried Hat that had assembled severely and to the crowd to rell him. The accident occurred 6 o'clock. The most prest-o-lite, and burning.

On this war ration the owners of fowls have been able to maintain their flocks and obtain satisfactory crops of hen fruit. As the war continues, much the same conditions will come to pass in this country; hence a plea for the growing of more liberal crops of green food capable of sustaining production and the vigor and health of the birds. If the signs of the zodiac are not deceiving, we are to have early rains this year and a wet winter, which renders garden and field operations matters of immediate consideration. Nearly every fancier and breeder has some ground, no matter if limited, that can be utilized to the growing of crops suitable as food for his fowls. Space and character of soil are to be considered, but since the literature of the seed vendors gives this information, we will pass by that phase of the subject; let us rather consider it from the point of feeding values. Chief among plants the leaves of which possess high feeding value and are appreciated by fowl is alfalfa, either fresh or cured. Indeed, it has not unwisely been termed the "King of Fodders." There are several varieties, chief of which is the blue-flowered. Being indigenous to the arid regions, it finds ideal conditions in California. Planted on a suitable deep soil, with irrigation facilities enormous crops are produced. It is at its best when only about 12 per cent of the flower buds are just opening. It should be fed cut into short lengths, both in the fresh and cured state. Green alfalfa has an average protein content of about 5 per cent, hence is good as a flesh former and also for egg production. It can be fed hung up in small bunches, thus affording the birds occupation, but this is hardly so economical as when fed in a chaffed condition—a practice quite generally observed by commercial poultrymen in this state. Clover is much grown in the humid regions and forms a good green food; but with us alfalfa is in the lead. The cabbages, kales, etc., provide large quantities of green food for poultry; if fresh and succulent the birds are fond of this class of vegetable leaves. Old fibrous, tough growths are somewhat rank, hence are not so keenly relished. Cabbages are gross feed their products as are available in our markets at prices justifying their general uses as poultry foods. CROWN STAGE LINE GRANTED ANOTHER PERMIT Supervisors Accept Bids for Improving Yorba Linda Highways The application of the Crown Stage Company for permit to operate an auto stage line between Santa Ana and Laguna Beach, was granted by the supervisors at Wednesday's session. The application of Standard Oil Company for permit to lay pipe line across the Placentia Yorba road east of the Santa Fe railway crossing near the Yorba bridge was granted. The application of John Davis for permit to lay pipe line across the county road about five-eights of a mile east of Graden Grove was granted. The application of R. W. McClain et al., to change the name of Newport school district to Greenville school district was granted. The application of the John T. Carpenter Water Company for permit to lay a pipe line across the county park road was granted. It was ordered that all drivers of county trucks and automobiles be authorized to respond to emergency calls from any portion of the county. Bids were opened for improvement of the Edinger street road, and the bid of Orange County Engineering & Construction Company of $14,520.86 was taken under advisement until October 5, 1918, at 10 A.M. Bids were received and opened for improvement of portions of Yorba Linda boulevard, Buena Vista avenue, Lake View aveune, Oriente drive and Citrus avenue, near Yorba Linda, and the contract awarded to J. G. Donovan for $25,498.20, subject to permission of United States highway commission, for said construction. The map of Lake View Tract near Yorba Linda, was accepted as the official plotting of said tract. An appropriation of $200 was made for a ten-page write-up in "California Highways." Supervisor Leck was given permission to spend in excess of $500.00, and not to exceed $1,000, for improvement of Aliso-Trabuco road. A deed was accepted for right of way on road from Laguna Beach to Corona Del Mar.

Clover is much grown in the humid regions and forms a good green food; but with us alfalfa is in the lead. The cabbages, kales, etc., provide large quantities of green food for poultry; if fresh and succulent the birds are fond of this class of vegetable leaves. Old fibrous, tough growths are somewhat rank, hence are not so keenly relished. Cabbages are gross feeders and for this reason can be planted in chicken yards that are allowed to go fallow for a season, in which, after a crop has been harvested, the soil will be found quite pure and sweet. Many poultrymen are quite partial to the kales, the thousand-headed or Jersey tree being a favorite. The leaves are stripped at regular intervals, when a new crop follows. The water content is 90 per cent, which tends to slake thirst; the protein content is 2.40, and of considerable food value; carbohydrates, 3.8; mineral salts rather low, but in valuable form. For small areas lettuce and Swiss chard can be commended. The latter is given the preference by the writer. The plant belongs to the best family, but only the leaves are used. These are stripped at regular intervals and replaced by new growth. The leaves are very succulent and highly relished by fowls that are confined. In the way of roots and tubers we have beets and mangels, carrots and turnips, and, in a more limited way, potatoes. Beets and mangels average 90 per cent water, 1 per cent protein, only a trace of fat and under 10 per cent carbohydrates. They may be sliced or pulped and mixed in the mash food, or cut in halves and hung up in the runs for the birds to peck at.

SINGULAR ACCIDENT FROM GASOLINE EXPLOSION Santa Ana Man Probably Fatally Burned on the Highway Billy Hatley, night hostler at the Southern Pacific roundhouse, Santa Ana, sustained Tuesday morning what might prove fatal burns in an accident that is probably the first of the kind in the history of the motorcycle. He is at the hospital suffering intense pain from burns about the head, back, chest, hands and legs. Hatley lives at Newport Beach and travels between Santa Ana and the beach on a motorcycle. After completing his work at the roundhouse Tuesday morning he started for home, carrying two half-gallon bottles of gasoline in a sack on his back. While traveling at slow gait on South Main street, his motorbike slipped on the wet pavement, the accident happening in front of W. S. Decker's place at 922 ANAHEIM GAZETTE South Main street. He fell from the skidding machine, breaking the bottles of gasoline. In an instant the gasoline ignited, and flames spread all over his clothing. He screamed for help, and Decker was one of the first to respond. When Decker saw him he was enveloped in flames, the tongues of which shot high above his head. Decker called to him to lie down on the grass, and Hatley hurried to the lawn of J. B. Winslow, next door to Decker, and rolled over and over, Decker in the meantime turning the garden hose on him. When the flames were extinguished, he was wrapped in blankets and made as comfortable as possible, while medical aid was being summoned. A physician was summoned to be at the hospital at once and Decker took the injured man into his automobile and drove at breakneck speed to the hospital. "Shoot me and put me out of my misery," cried Hatley to the crowd that had assembled. He was suffering severely and appealed to some in the crowd to relieve him by killing him. The accident occurred a little after 6 o'clock. The motor is equipped with presto-lite, and the headlamp was burning. It is not certain whether the gasoline was ignited by this or from the heat of the engine. The engine was hot and gasoline dropping on the muffler or hot cylinders would have caused ignition. The fire department was called out, and put out the fire on the motorbike and pavement where the gasoline had been spilled. Hatley has been working for the Southern Pacific here for many years, and is known to be a careful man. He is not a speeder and it is said that he was riding very slowly that morning because of the wet pavement. side are beautiful and ample showers make it green summer or winter. American engineers, stevedors and troops in general are putting new life into France. Funny old donkeys and carts which recall the 17th century are nearly run over here by 1918 American trucks, while United States railroads are speeding up this place. It's a grand life here, full of dash, rush and "win-the-war" spirit. I'll never forget it. How is Carl getting on? Hope he likes the navy. After coming across I can't say I do. Where are Geldert and Steller? Have met several Los Angeles boys here. They all ask, "How is everyone back home?" And I reply, "Full of pep and right behind you to the last dollar." It we eat beans three times a day we know the reason why and like the French, say, "C'est la Guerre." Probably we will not be here only long enough to get a rest and then we'll be moving along. I'll write when I get a definite location. In the mean time any mail sent by anyone in the county will be appreciated very, very much. Address below. Nights are chilly here but the days fine. No food is wanted in France. We deal in francs instead of dollars. Everything is different and foreign and the spirit is strong. We are issued tobacco now as a ration. Very sincerely yours, PVT.

Starbuck has severed his connection with the Pacific Telephone Company at Fullerton, and will deviate his time entirely to his personal affairs.

Resolved, that every bank should provide conspicuously located and decorated booths or windows, adequately served by clerks, for receiving subscriptions and furnishing information during the Fourth Liberty Loan campaign. III. Resolved, that banks should encourage and invite loans to subscribers, to be secured by bonds of the Fourth Liberty Loan up to 90 per cent of the par value of such bonds; that these loans should mature ninety days after their date and bear the same rate of interest borne by the bonds; that in case of renewal the rate on such renewal should conform to the prevailing commercial rate. IV. Resolved, that the carrying of bonds for subscribers on the partial payment bank plan, either directly for the subscriber or indirectly through his employer, be confined to bonds of $50 and $100 denominations and to a total of $100 thereof for any individual subscriber; that no installment payment thereon be for less than one-tenth of the subscription and that deferred payments bear interest at the rate borne by the bond. V. It is the desire of the Southern California Liberty Loan State Central Committee that the distribution of the bonds of the Fourth issue will be of such a nature and of such an amount that it will not be necessary for any banks to make subscriptions to bonds for their own accounts. We believe that resolutions such as the above will tend to accomplish this result and suggest similar action throughout all the cities in Southern California subject to such change and modification as may be necessary to meet your own local requirements. TIRE THIEVES Unusual activity on the part of the district POTTER RELATES HIS EXPERIENCE IN FRANCE After Trip Across the Sea Prefers Army to Naval Career. Clyde Potter, publicity manager for the Southern Counties Gas Company, is now in France with the American troops, and sends the following letter back to his numerous friends. Potter is well known in every newspaper office in the Southland, and the boys all hope for his safe return: Our long voyage has ended and we now are resting in a U. S. rest camp near Bordeaux. We sailed up a wonderfully beautiful river to our debarkation port near here. I can only say that France and the matter in which the hospitable French people welcome American soldiers are far beyond all imagination. We marched through picturesque French villages which are located on hillsides or along rivers or anywhere they happened to settle centuries back. A rain shower came along but we marched along the quaint and narrow cobble-stoned streets in high spirits. Having been aboard ship for days we were tired to death so we were allowed to drop our packs on a steep street and seek a little rest while the wonderful French people came from their odd little shops to greet us and talk to us. We asked for some water and the girls and women rushed frantically into their houses, coming out with pitchers of water and bottles of French wine. Of course we thanked them in our poor French and tried to make them take some money in return but they refused. I'll never forget this first landing here in chivalrous France. We now are resting in a camp where hundreds of wounded are coming from the battle lines daily and have met many of them. They are the finest fellows in the world, these wounded boys. Ask them what of the outcome and they know only one answer, America. While the English and French muffler or hot cylinders would have caused ignition. The fire department was called out, and put out the fire on the motorbike and pavement where the gasoline had been spilled. Hatley has been working for the Southern Pacific here for many years, and is known to be a careful man. He is not a speeder and it is said that he was riding very slowly that morning because of the wet pavement. STARBUCK QUITS W. Starbuck has severed his connection with the Pacific Telephone Company at Fullerton, and will deviate his time entirely to his personal affairs. The management was offered to Mrs. Starbuck, who has been cashier in the office and co-worker with Mr. Starbuck since 1910, but she promptly declined it. Mr. Starbuck was agent almost since the installation of an agency, having it in his drug store. He built up the exchange to over 400, when in 1910 he sold the store and took the management in the company's new office. Since then Placentia has been cut off and he and Mrs. Starbuck have handled the two in connection with their other affairs. The two now have nearly 1,300 subscribers. The Telephone company states the offices have been kept in the front ranks of efficiency in the southern division every month. E. A. Beard, manager at Anaheim, will take on also the management of the Fullerton office. INCREASED WHEAT ACREAGE There will be an increase of 100,000 acres of wheat in California for the coming year, states Albert Lindley, chief of the department of emergency crop production of the state council of defense. He has just returned from a tour of valley counties, after making a survey of the prospect for wheat production. Orders already given for seed wheat, and statements secured, indicate estimate is conservative, says Mr. Lindley. While investigating as to wheat in Butte county, Mr. Lindley was informed by interested farmers that the action of the state council during the late drought in securing irrigation water, by the aid of Senator Phelan, Ben Crouch, the Parrott Estate and other landowners, saved the rice crop of 1,300 acres from probably total loss. Another emergency irrigation activity directed by the emergency committee, with co-operation from the food administration's department, was effective. Thousands of acres of beans and a considerable acreage of alfalfa and other crops were in great danger, state grateful residents of San Joaquin county in letters to the state council, but salvation came through an order... Of course we thanked them in our poor French and tried to make them take some money in return but they refused. I'll never forget this first landing here in chivalrous France. We now are resting in a camp where hundreds of wounded are coming from the battle lines daily and have met many of them. They are the finest fellows in the world, these wounded boys. Ask them what of the outcome and they know only one answer, America. While the English and French troops stop when they have taken their objective, the Americans keep on as long as they can go. I talked with a boy from West Virginia who was hit at the beginning of the recent drive. They had traveled three days and went over the top at dawn with no food or drink or rest. Talk about nerve, these boys have it! We asked him what he did in case his company was almost wiped out and when he would stop, and he replied in an innocent 18-year-old manner straight from the heart, "Why, the Americans never get orders to stop." This is the stuff that will win the war and if it seems hard at home sometimes and the business drags you may rest assured that the boys in France are the last ones to look down-hearted. These fellows who have been through the drives and hell of the front have only smiles for the world. Can you beat it? I never had such a strong feeling for the war and against Germany before but from now on I'm in the war for all I can give. The Y. M. C. A. is great to us here. The French children come around our camp and sell us grapes and fruit and it is giving us an opportunity of getting our French language quicker. The chateaus and country homes here all recall wonderful days of the empire regime. The hills, woods and country- BANKS AND THE LIBERTY LOAN With the Fourth Liberty Loan at hand, many are naturally interested in the attitude the banks will take toward the loan and its subscribers, particularly with regard to terms of payments on bonds. The part the banks will take in the loan campaign is well outlined in a bulletin issued to all banks by the Southern California Liberty Loan committee. This covers the payments on bonds, limiting them to one-tenth at each payment. The bank bulletin is as follows: At a meeting of the Los Angeles Clearing House Association, the following resolutions were adopted as regulations under which all the members would be guided in co-operating with the Liberty Loan committee. 1. Resolved, that all banks should furnish the Liberty Loan committee with daily lists of subscriptions received, giving the names and addresses of all subscribers and the amount subscribed by each, except in cases in which the Liberty Loan committee ad- has this record utilization. every bank should be located and decimals, adequately for receiving subscribing information bery Loan cambanks should enpans to subscribny bonds of the up to 90 per cent such bonds; that feature ninety days earr the same rate the bonds; that the rate on such return to the prevailning of ons on the partial other directly for directly through his and to a total any individual subment payment than one-tenth of that deferred payment at the rate borne. of the Southern Ocean State Central distribution of the issue will be of such an amount necessary for any scriptures to bonds ounts.

And this punishment of crimes and murders, patiently premeditated, carefully prepared and coolly and cruelly accomplished, cannot be inferior to their monstrous character. "The ancient law of retaliation, however repugnant it is to the nations fighting for the triumph of justice and liberty, is the only one fit, in the circumstances, to be invoked against a nation that has willfully and deliberately put itself outside of civilization and finds itself in a state of systematic retrogression. The national committee, on behalf of the interests intrusted to their care, invite all governments whose peoples participate in this new crusade to announce their formal resolve to make use of a modernized retaliation law, according to the barbarian's own wish, town for town, village for village, church for church, castle for castle, property for property. Such is the only formula likely to make an impression on minds and hearts closed to all feeling except that which may arise from fear of punishment." HELLO! AND SO LONG! "Going to France?" asked a traveling man at the station of a negro soldier. "No, sah! I see not going to France," replied the dusky soldier. "I've goin' to Berlin, but I may stop in France for a showt time on de way." Merle Anlauf came down from Santa Paula last week on a short visit to friends. His mother-in-law, Mrs. F. S. Gates, accompanied him home on a visit to her daughter.

Moved by this long series of odious crimes, the national committee for the entire reparation of war damages, including among its members a number of eminent jurists, the president of which is M. Larnande, senior, of the Paris law school, has issued the following declaration: "'The attention of the national committee for the entire reparation of damages caused by the war has been called on to witness that devastations, plunder, war tax levies, taxes created without military necessity in invaded regions and which, despite the reprobation and the feeling of horror caused by such deeds all the world over, have been increasing more and more.
