NITRATE FERTILIZES FARMS INSTEAD OF DESTROYING FOE War Munition Converted to Peaceful Use Following Armistice. More than a hundred thousand tons of nitrate, originally produced to help in blowing the German armies off the map of Belgium and France, this year will be put to the more peaceful work of increasing the fertility of American farming soil. After the signing of the armstice the War Department released to the Department of Agriculture 111,000 tons of nitrate at a salvage price. To this quantity is added 40,000 tons received from Chile by the Department of Agriculture too late for distribution last year, so that 151,000 tons will be sold by the Department of Agriculture to farmers under the authority of the food-control act, which provided for its purchase and sale by the Government to farmers at cost. Through this arrangement it is estimated that 100,000 farmers will save about $1,500,000, according to the opening market price and the $1 a ton f.o.b. shipping point charged by the Government. Farmers have taken up the full 151,000 tons in orders ranging from a bag of 200 pounds to an order for 300 tons. The price last year was $75.50 a ton, f.o.b. shipping points, located at six Atlantic and Gulf ports. The Department of Agriculture last year arranged for the shipment of 120,000 tons from Chile, but shortage of shipping space kept the quantity transported in time for use last year down to about 75,000 tons. This year's price was announced early in 1919, and application blanks were sent to county agricultural agents for distribution to farmers. Harbor strikes at Charleston, S.C. and New York City have seriously interfered with shipments from these points, but a recent arrangement for lightering nitrate destined for New England and New York points from the Erie Basin in Brooklyn was made with the union in New York City, and the nitrate bound for these points is to be moved at once. Shipments are now being made from 21 storage points, and to date shipping instructions have been sent from Washington to forwarding agents covering about 125,000 tons. Records show that about 110,000 tons have actually been shipped, and it is expected that the entire 151,000 tons ordered by farmers will be shipped before the end of May of this year. The Bureau of Markets, which is in charge of the nitrate distribution for the Department of Agriculture, has pointed at each storage point a forwarding agent and has charged him with the duty of even-weighing, reconditioning, loading and shipping the nitrate on orders received from Washington. These representatives receive a large number members of the University and of are outlined in the courses of the Stater Session in Los Angeles just been issued Press. Dean Morel the introduction says that the course benefit of: team intendents, super school officers; graduate students those registered session of the University shorten their college make up for deficient school graduates ter the University graduate nurses, specialization works health, etc. A moment of courses charge by application Press, Berkeley. Anaheim Gazette payable in advance ANAHEIM GAZETTE from the Department of Agriculture $1 a year plus the regular commercial rates for services rendered. Where county nitrate requirements are very light, farmers have been requested to forward cashiers' checks or New York drafts in payment for nitrate at the time of filing their applications, after which the nitrate is shipped direct to them. Where county requirements are comparatively heavy, federal nitrate distributors have been appointed by the bureau, on the recommendation of county agricultural agents, to act as consignees and distributors for all nitrate shipped to such counties. These federal nitrate distributors collect money from applicants, send shipping instructions to Washington, receive nitrate and distribute it to farmers. Shipments are forwarded to these distributors on order notify bills of lading, with sight draft attached. The bureau has designated about 500 federal nitrate distributors. CANNEL COAL IN TEXAS What is possibly the largest body of cannel coal in the United States, if not in the world, lies on the Rio Grande about 25 miles above Laredo, Tex. The outcrop of this coal can be traced for many miles in the bluffs along the river in Webb County to a point at which it swings northward into Uvalde County. The coal has been mined for many years at Santo Tomas and more recently at Darwin, or Cannel, and Dolores. It occurs in two principal beds, about 90 feet apart, both of which are being mined. The beds range in thickness from about 2 feet to 8 feet. HENS PROPERLY FED WILL YIELD A PROFIT U. S. Experimenters Give Out Good Balanced Ration for Poultry. Many people who keep a few chickens wonder why their hens do not lay as well as the neighbors' hens. They don't appear to understand that they themselves are responsible for the poor showing. The hen must be properly fed in order to get results. A certain amount of food is required to sustain the body, and a poorly fed hen cannot be expected to produce eggs. Hens are profitable if properly fed, but they will surely prove a loss to the owner if under nourished. The following rations are desirable for the use of the laying flock throughout the year. Ration No. 3 contains no wheat or wheat products, thereby reducing the cost of this scratch mixture materially. No. 1 MASH 16 pounds corn meal. 6½ pounds beef scrap, 1 pound bran, 1 pound middlings.

It is the boast of the Japanese that in a very short time Japan will be one of the greatest producing nations in the world. We believe it. The remarkable progress of that country during the war bears out the prophesy. Australia is planning a new Tariff law with one eye, if not both of them, on Japan. England is planning a Protective Tariff law which shall adequately protect against the products of low-priced Japanese labor. The United States—well, what is the United States planning? Is she planning adequate protection against Japan? We have no quarrel with Japan, but that is no reason why we should hire her workmen to do the work which our own workmen should do. It is needless to say that this country is large and Japan small; that we are farther advanced in manufacturing lines than are the Japanese. It is true, to a large extent. But it may not always be true if we do not look alive. Japan is rapidly becoming one of the greatest producing nations in the world. Although her territory is not so large as ours and although we are farther advanced in modern improvements, yet Japan, on equal terms, can undersell us in our own market in many and ever-increasing lines of production Japan makes our hairbrushes, our toothbrushes, our matches, our fountain pens our sewing needles, our tionable if the people will long want to put up with such a plan. The President washed his hands of the problem in December, and the Democratic Congress passed it along to the incoming Republicans, who will have here the knottiest of all reconstruction questions.

The outcrop of this coal can be traced for many miles in the bluffs along the river in Webb County to a point at which it swings northward into Uvalde County. The coal has been mined for many years at Santo Tomas and more recently at Darwin, or Cannel, and Dolores. It occurs in two principal beds, about 90 feet apart, both of which are being mined. The beds range in thickness from about 2 feet to 2 feet 6 inches, and are fairly persistent. For many years they have supplied a large part of the coal used on the railroads in southern Texas and the adjacent part of Mexico. This coal is of geologic interest because, although it lies in rocks which elsewhere in Texas contain only lignite, it is a bituminous coal. It has the qualities of a cannel coal; it contains a large amount of volatile matter, or gas, and it yields oil by distillation—about 50 gallons of oil to the ton of coal. It contains more nitrogen than any other coal in the United States. At most places the roof of the coal is poor and requires considerable timbering, and as no trees grow in Webb County this requirement adds considerably to the cost of mining. At each of the mines in this district there is a huge dump of clay, either removed in mining the coal or derived from the shale that forms the roof. This clay may be of value for making brick or other clay products. FOR FLOOD CONTROL Senate Bill No. 280, by Senator Evans, known as the Conservancy Act, has passed both the Senate and Assembly and is now before the Governor for his attention. This bill makes it possible to form conservancy and flood control districts on a whole watershed, whether it be in one or more counties, and will enable the people of San Bernardino, Riverside and Orange counties to combine all of the small flood control organizations in one great district for conservation of water and flood control, covering the whole watershed from top of the mountains to the ocean. Senate Bill No. 62, by Senator King, provides for the appropriation of $5,000 to be used with a like amount to be set aside by the Federal Forest Service for continuing the work of fire protection on the San Bernardino Mountains. These two measures parallels wheat or barley, 1 pound oats. No. 2 MASH 2 pounds corn meal, 1 pound bran, 1 pound middlings, 1 beef scrap.

A well-balanced poultry ration contains the proper proportion of protein and carbohydrates to satisfy the needs and desires of the farm fowl, while it also carries the mineral matter, bulk and palatability necessary to accomplish good feeding results. There is no best ration superior to all others. The aim of poultry experts and practical farmers is to ascertain about what mixture of the poultry feed gives the best results and then to use this relative proportion in making rations, or in substituting different feeds according to their price and availability. Modifications of feeding methods are so numerous that the individual flock owner may select the method which he thinks best suited to his conditions. The average farmer feeds his fowl on home-grown grain and rarely buys commercial or mixed feeds. Furthermore, fowl allowed free range on the farm pick up plenty of green feed, bugs and seeds during the spring and summer, which help to balance their own ration during these seasons. It is also profitable to feed these hens any available surplus skim milk or buttermilk, which may be mixed into a mash with the ground grain and combined with some beef meal or table scraps during the winter when the birds can not get insects on the range. Dispatches from Washington Say Situation is Serious. That there is likely to be a serious shortage of sugar-beet seed for the spring of 1921 unless arrangements are made immediately by beet-sugar companies in the United States for their planting requirements in that year is indicated by recent cablegrams from a representative of the United States Department of Agriculture in the Netherlands, taken in connection with information regarding stocks on hand and contemplated plantings for seed in this country. A Washington dispatch says that the situation for 1921 is serious, because of the shortage of sugar-beet seed in Europe as compared with former years, and because of the increased activity in beet-sugar production in European countries, which will probably require a large part of the European beet-seed on hand and of the European production this year and next. The present indications are that there is sufficient sugar-beet seed now in the hands of the beet-sugar companies in the United States to take care of the entire acreage to be planted to sugar beets in 1919. The most recent information in regard to the sugar-beet supply for 1920 indicates that there is at present a shortage of from 25,000 to 40,000 bags. This is being met through importations in Senate Bill No. 62, by Senator King, provides for the appropriation of $5,000 to be used with a like amount to be set aside by the Federal Forest Service for continuing the work of fire protection on the San Bernardino Mountains. These two measures, particularly the first, are of the very greatest importance to the people of San Bernardino, Riverside and Orange counties. COURSES FOR SUMMER SESSION A large number of courses under members of the faculty of the State University and of eastern universities are outlined in the announcement of courses of the State University Summer Session in Los Angeles which has just been issued by the University Press. Dean Monroe E. Deutsch, in the introduction to the announcement, says that the courses are planned for the benefit of: teachers, school superintendents, supervisors, and other school officers; graduate students; undergraduate students, and especially those registered in the fall or spring session of the University who wish to shorten their college curriculum or make up for deficiencies; for high school graduates who are about to enter the University; for housewives, graduate nurses, social workers, Americanization workers, students of public health, etc. A copy of the announcement of courses may be had free of charge by application to the University Press, Berkeley. Anaheim Gazette per year, $1.50, payable in advance. Walker D. Hines has just announced that another increase in pay has been granted the men in the train service of the roads under Government control, amounting to $65,000,000 a year, or a total of nearly a billion since the Adamson bill was passed. No one will begrudge the engine and trainmen the high rate of pay granted them, unless it be some of the less well paid employees, who may be envious of the success of their thoroughly organized brethren. The public, however, must foot the bill. February reports unofficially tabulated, showed a decrease in net operating revenue at the rate of $150,000,000 a year under last year's experience. As the final net deficit in operating revenue for 1918 was $214,000,000, the indications are that for the current year unless a marked change in business conditions transpires it will be close to $370,000,000. Add this to the $750,000,000 appropriation asked for the roads, and the net cost to the people for the second year of Government management of the railroads will approximate $1,120,000,000, which is some load for even the wealthiest country in the world to carry. Private ownership could not support such adrain, and it is quiescent. The present indications are that there is sufficient sugar-beet seed now in the hands of the beet-sugar companies in the United States to take care of the entire acreage to be planted to sugar beets in 1919. The most recent information in regard to the sugar-beet supply for 1920 indicates that there is at present a shortage of from 25,000 to 40,000 bags. This is being met through importations in order to provide sufficient seed for a normal planting next year. Dutch growers and dealers are unable to book further orders for 1919 seed and orders for 1920 delivery must be received by them this month. At the present time surplus stocks in the Netherlands are selling at 1.3 florins a kilogram (approximately 25 cents a pound) and up, though some dealers are holding for from 2 or 2.5 florins a kilogram (approximately 35 to 45 cents a pound). Reports received from German sources indicate that prices there will remain high or possibly increase during the next two years. It is possible that subsequent information may modify the situation somewhat, but Department of Agriculture officials believe every effort should be made to produce in this country during 1919, and especially in 1920, all the good quality sugar-beet seed possible, up to the American requirements. Here in Orange county the cry that there will be a shortage of sugar-beet seed has been raised often, yet the sugar-beet seed have never been short. It is believed here that if the seed were secured during war time, the supply in peace time will be quickly provided. The worry over beet seed here is not up to the farmer. The factories see to getting the seed. The Last Chance Only three more days of the Big Remodeling Sale at HANDLEMAN'S SHOE STORE Goods are going rapidly owing to the remarkably low prices at which they are marked, but there are splendid bargains still on our shelves, and only three days are left in which to take advantage of them. Saturday is the Last Day. Don't Miss This Chance. LOUIS HANDLEMAN Kroeger Building WHY Everybody Eats at the Exchange Grill Excellent Service and Good Eating A. KLUEWER, Prop. IN THE OIL FIELD (From Brea Progress) In spite of the fact that the Heffron well has had 16 fishing jobs since the drilling was started a month ago, 1800 feet of hole has been made. Much of this drilling was through some of the hardest conglomerate and a great deal of the hole had to be drilled through a sand so compact and resisting that fish tail bits were ground down in less than hour's time. At 1800 feet the formation has changed from hard sand to shale. The new formation is showing some strong oil colors. The Petroleum Development Company has three wells drilling and a fourth well rigging up in the Kramer field. Bradford Bros.' No. 1, after bat- The Amalgamated Ibbitson well is drilling in a white sand at 2850 feet. The formation gives no promise of an oil well and the management is beginning to look on the project with some doubts. The Standard's Kramer wells in the hills north of the Ibbitson came into the oil sands at less than 2300 feet. The distance between the properties is less than a quarter of a mile. On the Yorba lease the Amalgamated's No. 1 is drilling in shale and boulders at 1820. On the Chas. Potter property a rig is being erected and drilling will start there in a few days. All drilling records are going by the boards in these days of great haste to get new wells started, drilling and producing. A few years ago a man went out to work on a well expecting to have a home for a year or more. Today wells are drilled and put to producing in a single month. The Petroleum Development Company has three wells drilling and a fourth well rigging up in the Kramer field. Bradford Bros.' No. 1, after battling with heaving sand for a week is now making hole at 300 feet. Joaquin No. 1 started drilling with a 20-inch hole and has made 100 feet. The well recently located at Richfield has completed rig and preparations are now being made to start drilling. Prior to the discovery of the Chapman gusher the Petroleum Development Company was doing no new development work and was giving all the time and attention to old wells. At Kramer 2-1 the Standard is making some very creditable time drilling in the hard sand. Better than 200-feet is being averaged each week. At 1550 the hard sand encountered at 1000 feet continues as hard as ever. Much of the hole is now being made with Sharp and Hews bits. Particularly good time is being made on the Collins well just across the line. Here the formation is also a hard sand, but 500 feet of hole was made last week and the hole now stands 1400 feet. The Standard's Anaheim Union well No. 1 is now drilling at 3735 feet and is showing nothing more than a hard sand mixed with a blue shale. Not a sign of oil sand or oil has been noted to date. Lock no. 1, situated a little west of the Anaheim well, is 3760 feet deep and shows no oil sands nor any favorable indications of oil. All drilling records are going by the boards in these days of great haste to get new wells started, drilling and producing. A few years ago a man went out to work on a well expecting to have a home for a year or more. Today wells are drilled and put to producing in a single month. In one week a well on the Standard's Baldwin lease was drilled to 1700 feet, the water string put in and cemented. The well will stand ten days, and two weeks after that it will be producing. Such speed is characteristic everywhere in the Southern California fields today. Operators are going ahead strong in all the proven fields and wildcatting during the past few months has assumed a big factor in the development work of the southern fields. At present there are eight wildcat wells drilling and over half of these are looking promising enough to open up much new territory. It was learned here today that a tract of land consisting of more than 200 acres lying between Anaheim and Fullerton has been taken under consideration by the Union Oil Company for development. The land is being considered on the theory that the Fullerton basin extends west of the city and that a second great field similar to the Chapman may be opened up. Much of the acreage in this new prospect is now planted to oranges and the drilling of wells will necessitate the removal of many valuable trees. It is understood that the property carries with it no bonuses and, if accepted by the Union, drilling will be commenced inside of a year.
