A NEW VELVET BEAN THAT DOES NOT VINE A Bush Variety Highly Recommended by Government. Disadvantages of the ordinary varieties of velvet beans, in that their vining, twining nature makes it practically impossible to harvest the resultant forage as hay, are rectified in a new variety known as the "bush' or "bunch" velvet bean. It is of erect, upright growth and arises from a selection of the Alabama variety, first developed on the farm of a Georgia planter. This farmer carefully saved the seed from the crop raised during the 1915 season, which harvested 60 bushels, and he distributed it in his vicinity, so that at present the variety has been established on a large scale in that section of Georgia. It is noteworthy that wherever this bush variety has been grown it ultimately has replaced all other varieties of velvet beans. The United States Department of Agriculture is promoting its popularization. The individual plants average about three feet in height growing approximately as high as the ears on corn plants. The bean plants branch near the ground most of the branches being short. Occasionally some are from 5 to 7 feet long, but show no inclination to twine over cornstalks. The pods are all produced near the base of the plant, but the stem is stiff enough to support the clusters so that few of them rest on the ground. In appearance the pods and seeds are exactly like the Alabama and Georgia varieties, the pods having the same ability to resist decay when they lie on the to lock their reserves up for a term of years through the absorption of the Victory Loan; and the injury would fall upon the people themselves rather than upon the banks." "Just to the extent that a bank buys bonds, it has ceased to exist as a bank. If all its resources were invested in bonds it might as well close up for it could no longer make loans or serve its customers. Then imagine the condition if our banks were to lock up five or six billion dollars of their reserves in the next national loan. Just imagine what extent they would be compelled to curtail their accustomed accommodations to the merchants and manufacturers of the country. Then indeed should we face a problem of unemployment compared with which all past experiences would be as nothing. The stagnation that would follow in trade would be disastrous." "If you want hard times and high prices; if you want factories to close; if you want building operations to cease and a palsy to fall upon the economic life of the nation, you have only to adopt the disastrous principle of finance involved in the declaration that the banks should be "made to take up the Loan." "NO," said Mr. McKee, "this must be distributed just as broadly as its predecessors and it is to the personal interest of every citizen and all Southern California that this be done." "Plans are now being rushed for the opening of the Victory Loan on April 21st, and every citizen should be urged on that date to duplicate his subscription to the Fourth Liberty Loan in a Victory Loan subscription and thus guarantee coupon clipin on the right side of his ledger." plants. The bean plants branch near the ground most of the branches being short. Occasionally some are from 5 to 7 feet long, but show no inclination to twine over cornstalks. The pods are all produced near the base of the plant, but the stem is stiff enough to support the clusters so that few of them rest on the ground. In appearance the pods and seeds are exactly like the Alabama and Georgia varieties, the pods having the same ability to resist decay when they lie on the ground. The bush velvet bean matures in about the same period as the Alabama variety, but the yield is a little lower. An outstanding feature which particularly appeals to farmers is that the plant does not twine on corn, and, therefore, does not tend to pull down the stalks. Hence, where it is grown in combination with corn for ensilage purposes, it is much easier to handle the two crops than has been possible where the ordinary twining varieties of velvet beans have been grown in combination with corn. In addition the bunch velvet bean is especially valuable for planting in orange and other tree groves where any variety of forage crop which climbs trees is decidedly objectionable, particularly while the trees are young. This new bean may be used as a rest crop after the manner of cowpeas, as the absence of twining stems eliminates the common difficulty in mowing ordinary velvet beans. Indications are that where the crop is used principally for soil improvement the Alabama and Georgia varieties are preferable, as they yield a large amount of green growth. Furthermore, where the entire crop of matured beans is to be gathered the bush variety is perhaps not so desirable as the twining varieties, as the pods are all produced very near the ground and thus the labor involved in gathering them is increased. The bush velvet bean should not be planted too early in localities to which it has been acclimated, but at about the same time as cotton, as the beans do not make a thrifty growth until the soil has become thoroughly warm. As a rule, 1 bushel of seed will plant 2 to 3 acres, the seeds being dropped 2 to 3 feet apart and covered the same as corn in rows which are 36 to 48 inches in width. The beans may be planted either alone or in the same rows with corn. It is customary after planting to cultivate the bush bean STATE RE-ORGANIZATION Following the submission of Gov. Stephens' message to the Legislature, wherein he failed to call for the adoption of the report of his Committee on Efficiency and Economy, a plan of state reorganization was introduced in the Assembly and Senate at the instance of the Tax Payers' Association of California, which organization claims that the problem of re-organization is of such vast importance as to demand immediate attention on the part of the law-making body. The bill provides for the inclusion of all the boards, commissions, bureaus and other agencies of the State Government in twelve departments as follows: 1. Finance; 2. Commerce and Labor; 3. Law; 4. Sanitation and Hygiene; 5. Public Works; 9. Natural Resources; 10. Conservation; 11. Defense; 12. Education. Strong efforts are being made to secure action at this session of the Legislature. In accordance with the provisions of the bill the Department of Finance is given complete control of all financial policies and affairs of the State, together with purchasing, printing and the exercise of the powers now vested in the Civil Service Commission. The Department of Commerce and Labor is given control over the regulation of corporations, public utilities, harbors, labor and markets. All special attorneys now employed by various boards and commissions are placed under the direct control of the Attorney-General in the Department of Law. All powers and duties relative to health, food and drugs, and housing are placed in the Department of Sanitation and Hygiene, while the functions of the State with reference to charities are placed under the Department of Charities and Welfare. The prison and reformatory functions are placed in a Department by Allowing $\frac{1}{2}$ quart of water, let two-thirds full of each egg separate slip into the wooched eggs and lowing sauce: 2 cups canned 1 slice onion, or 1 cup tomato sai $\frac{1}{4}$ teaspoon salt 2 tablespoons br 2 tablespoons b $\frac{1}{4}$ tablespoon p Cook tomato and peel. 20 minutes, strainer.

The beans may be planted either alone or in the same rows with corn. It is customary after planting to cultivate the bush bean crop the same as cowpeas. In the opinion of specialists of the United States Department of Agriculture, bush velvet beans are worthy of extensive testing. The wide popularity achieved in the limited area where they are known indicates that they may become highly useful and particularly valuable for the special purposes mentioned. As this variety is a new one, the Department recommends that all farmers who give it a trial make provision to save their own seed, as for two or three years the seed will probably be scarce and high in price. ITS UP TO THE PEOPLE "The Victory Loan must be placed before the public in just the same manner as the previous Liberty Loans have been, and the ill citizens who have made the statement that it is up to the banks to take this Loan, little realize the tremendous importance and disastrous effect that such a course would have upon each community," was the statement of Henry S. McKee, Chairman of the Southern California State Central Liberty Loan Committee. "Few worse financial disasters could befall this country than that which would follow if the banks of the United States were induced or compelled by various boards and commissions are placed under the direct control of the Attorney-General in the Department of Law. All powers and duties relative to health, food and drugs, and housing are placed in the Department of Sanitation and Hygiene, while the functions of the State with reference to charities are placed under the Department of Charities and Welfare. The prison and reformatory functions are placed in a Department by themselves, while the Department for Care of Defectives will have the administration of the State Hospitals for the Insane. All public work performed by the State, together with highway construction and maintenance, river and harbor work, etc., will be under the Department of Public Works. The Adjutant-General will be at the head of the Department of Defense. Functions relative to forestry, fish and game and the preservation of land marks and historical buildings, etc., are placed under the Department of Conservation. The Department of Natural Resources includes all functions performed by the State with reference to water, land, agriculture, animal industry and mining, while the Department of Education includes all educational functions. The bill provides that all fees and collections of State officers and departments shall be paid into the treasury to the credit of the general fund, and that all support of State departments and officers shall be in consequence of appropriations by law. Provision is made whereby the heads of the twelve departments, who act as a cabinet, may adjust duplications and conflicts of authority between departments, while power for like adjustments as between the div- ANAHEIM GAZETTE IN THE OIL FIELD (From Brea Progress) Activity in oil development work is still confined to three companies at Newport. The Interstate Oil Company, drilling a well south of the Standard's Irvine, now has 1200 feet of hole and the drilling is going along nicely. For the past two weeks the Standard has been unable to make any headway on its Irvine No. 1 well. An attempt is being made to drill up a joint of casing lost in the well. The pounding away on the iron is going very slow. The depth of the well is 3630. No oil showing worth of mention has been struck yet. The Union Oil Company is rapidly closing up on the development work of the Graham-Loftus property. Two wells are now drilling, No. 51 at 2700 feet and No. 52 at 2575. The completion of these two wells will probably close the development work on this one time busy property. The Union is to give its attention to the new Chapman and Kramer fields, and will let the older properties stand idle or with few wells drilling for awhile. Naranjal No. 7, a recent Union Oil Company completion, is turning out to be a good well. The production has climbed up to 230 barrels. Naranjal No. 10 is drilling at 2550, and No. 11 at 2400, and No. 12 at 2000. The deepest well now drilling in the old Olinda field is the Columbia Oil Company's No. 28. This well is now Allowing ½ teaspoon of salt to 1 quart of water, have a shallow pan two-thirds full of boiling water. Break each egg separately into a sauce and slip into the water. Cook as for poached eggs and serve with the following sauce: 2 cups canned tomatoes and 1 slice onion, or 1 cup tomato sauce. ¼ teaspoon salt. 2 tablespoons butter. 2 tablespoons flour. ¼ tablespoon pepper Cook tomato and onion, finely chopped, 20 minutes, then rub through a strainer. Melt the butter, add dry ingredients and strained tomatoes. Pour this sauce over the eggs and serve. Eggs in Nest Carefully separate the white from the yolk of an egg. Beat the white until stiff and pile lightly on a nicely trimmed slice of toast. With a spoon make a depression in the top of the white and slip the egg yolk into it. Place on a baking dish in a moderate oven and when the white has become a golden brown remove and serve. It may be seasoned to taste. Eggs Goldenrod 1 cup milk. 2 tablespoons butter. ½ teaspoon white pepper. 1½ tablespoons flour. 4 hard cooked eggs. 1 teaspoon chopped parsley. ½ teaspoon salt. 6 slices toast. Melt the butter, add the dry ingredients and stir until smooth. Add the heated milk slowly, stirring constantly, and allow to come to the boiling point. Separate the yolks from the whites of the hard-cooked eggs. Chop the whites finely and add them to the white sauce. Cut the slices of toast in half and after arranging on the platter, pour the sauce over them. Put the yolks through a potato ricer or press them through a strainer, sprinkling them over the sauce. Garnish with parsley and serve. Dutch Eggs 6 hard cooked eggs. ½ cup grated cheese or cottage cheese. 1 cup white sauce. 1 sweet red pepper cut into strips. Cut the eggs into quarters and place about one-quarter of the amount in a buttered baking dish. Cover this layer with sauce and sprinkle over it a layer of cheese; then a few pieces of will let the older properties stand idle or with few wells drilling for awhile. Naranjal No. 7, a recent Union Oil Company completion, is turning out to be a good well. The production has climbed up to 230 barrels. Naranjal No. 10 is drilling at 2550, and No. 11 at 2400, and No. 12 at 2000. The deepest well now drilling in the old Olinda field is the Columbia Oil Company's No. 28. This well is now drilling at 4000 feet, and is beginning to look like an oil well. Some good sands have been passed, and the completion of the well should result in a deep long time producer. A fishing job on No. 30 has delayed the drilling somewhat after 2000 feet of hole was made. No. 32 a new well, is rigged up for drilling. The deepest well now drilling in the California field is the Union Oil Company's Bastanchury No. 6. This well is now drilling at 5225. The formation is blue shale and shows no indication of ever being anything else. At 4400 this formation was struck and has continued unchanged to the present depth of 5225. The Union Oil Company has little hope of striking oil now, but will continue the well as far as possible in order to give the locality a thorough test. A well located a half mile north of this deep hole is producing some 40 barrels a day. This well, No. 5, was drilled to a depth of 4740, however the production is coming from approximately 4400 feet. The Riverbank Oil Company started its friends and backers by striking a considerable amount of gas at a depth of 800 feet in the sand wash well near Placentia. The rigging is of the hardest kind The conglomerata te is so compact and resisting that as many as six fish tails are used in a single tour. The great Chapman gusher that startled the oil interests of the west two weeks ago, causing one of the greatest rushes for oil properties and which opened up a new and hitherto unknown field is still the center of interest. The great well that started off at the rate of 4000 barrels has been pinched down to 1800 barrels a day, and the flow is now coming through a three-quarter inch opening. After getting the well cleaned out and al- Dutch Eggs 6 hard cooked eggs. ½ cup grated cheese or cottage cheese. 1 cup white sauce. 1 sweet red pepper cut into strips. Cut the eggs into quarters and place about one-quarter of the amount in a buttered baking dish. Cover this layer with sauce and sprinkle over it a layer of cheese; then a few pieces of the pepper. Repeat until the dish is full. Sprinkle bread crumbs on top dot with butter, and brown in a hot oven. Escolloped Eggs 2 tablespoons butter. 2 cups bread crumbs 6 hard cooked eggs. 2 cups cooked macaroni or rice. 1 cup milk. ½ tablespoon salt. 2 tablespoons flour. 3 tablespoons grated cheese. ⅛ teaspoon pepper. 1 cup tomato sauce. Make a sauce of the flour, butter, salt and pepper, and remove from the fire to add grated cheese. Stir until melted. Combine carefully the cooked macaroni or rice, sliced egg and salt. After covering bottom of baking dish with buttered crumbs, add the mixture. Then add rest of crumbs, brown in hot oven and serve with tomato sauce. One of the fastest and most successful drilling jobs of the new field is the Fullerton Oil Company's No. 1 on the Travis tract. The well is now making hole at 2200 feet, the sandy shale formation at this point is showing oil in very pleasing quantity. Anaheim Gazette, per year, $1.50, payable in advance. The great Chapman gusher that startled the oil interests of the west two weeks ago, causing one of the greatest rushes for oil properties and which opened up a new and hitherto unknown field is still the center of interest. The great well that started off at the rate of 4000 barrels has been pinched down to 1800 barrels a day, and the flow is now coming through a three-quarter inch opening. After getting the well cleaned out and allowing it to flow into the immense sump near by for a couple of days, the production was found to be clean enough to flow direct into the receiving tanks last Sunday. The gas coming from the well has also been taken care of and the output of this valuable by-product is running about half a million feet daily. This great well stands today an unknown factor in the oil industry of the southern field in that the flow of oil is coming up through the 4¼-inch casing and this is not even perforated pipe, and also the sand was just pierced by the drill when the tremendous flow of oil came in and stopped further drilling. What a well a hundred feet deeper will do can only be imagined. The Union Oil Company is busy working on two new wells on the Chapman property. Nos. 2 and 3 have been located Rig lumber for both these two wells is being placed on the ground and rig building has started. The Amalgamated on the Ibbitson has succeeded in shutting off all surface water at 2250 feet and has resumed drilling. The depth of the well is now 2278 feet, the formation is sandy shale, with no oil showing as yet. On the Yorba property No. 1 is drilling at 325 feet in brown shale.
