The Civil Service Commission, wishing to give discharged service men every opportunity to qualify for civil positions, asked the Attorney General for an opinion as to whether it would be legal to open, for the benefit of honorably discharged soldiers, sailors, and marines, examinations which had been closed. The Attorney General having expressed the opinion that such action is legal in view of the spirit of a recent act of Congress which provides for preference in appointment to civil positions for discharged soldiers, sailors, and marines, the Civil Service Commission will open only to honorably discharged service men examinations which were pending on April 6, 1917, the date of America's declaration of war, or which were subsequently announced, and for which registers of eligibles now exist. Sixty days from August 1, 1919, will be allowed soldiers, sailors, and marines in which to be examined for positions for which examinations have already been held if they were discharged from the military or naval service prior to August 1, and sixty days from the date of their discharge will be allowed those discharged subsequent to August 1, 1919. TO BRING BACK DAUGHTER Mme. Ernestine Schemann-Heink sailed Saturday for Europe. She went to bring back the widow and children of her son, Lieutenant August, who ON AVERAGES In a recent circular from the State College of Agriculture, containing some sound advice for the new settler in California (and much that is equally applicable to the "old settler") Dean Hunt makes some very interesting statements regarding averages. Says Dean Hunt: "A competent farmer should expect, and no one should undertake to farm unless he may reasonably expect, to produce 50 per cent more than the average. On this basis the gross income per annum may be estimated at 25 per cent of the capital invested." A pretty good yard stick to the farmer who wants to know his rating as a success among his associates, to apply to his business! And how many are there who will measure up to this standard of what a competent farmer really is? It only serves to emphasize the fact that it does not pay to be only an average farmer. The "average" farmer taken by and large is not getting ahead. His labor income, which represents the amount left over after all legitimate costs are charged to the business, is practically net. Many "average" farmers are really paying for the privilege of working on their farms. They would do better to put their capital out at interest and hire out to work for another. But the truly competent farmer is making money, and in the end always will, for the margin of profit comes in that extra 50 per cent produced. And to be a competent farmer means taking advantage of all the agricultural information available as accumulated at the cost of so much time, effort and money by the various governmental research agencies. These are at the beck and call of every farmer if he will but use them. Every farmer who hopes to be competent should make use of his State agricultural college and experiment stations and the Federal department of Agriculture. And one of the best ways to do this is to TO BRING BACK DAUGHTER Mme. Ernestine Schemann-Heink sailed Saturday for Europe. She went to bring back the widow and children of her son, Lieutenant August, who lost his life on a German submarine. His widow and two children live in Amsterdam, and Mme. Schumann-Heink will go there for them, but will not enter Germany, though she has a daughter living in Leipsic. She will return to this country in a few weeks. The singer was in a difficult position during the war, but gained everyone's sympathy. Her eldest son, Lieutenant August Schumann-Heink, was an officer on a Hamburg-American liner when the war broke out, and was drafted into the German navy. Three sons volunteered for active service for Uncle Sam, Ferdinand in the artillery, Henry an ensign in the navy and George Washington Schumann-Heink, the youngest son, who was born in the United States, became a gunner on a troop ship. None of the noted singers or artists have given more freely of their services than Mme. Schumann-Heink. Only last month she sang in the Letterman Hospital in San Francisco, and all through the war she has assisted in her gracious way to entertain the boys. She frequently sang for the Red Cross benefits and for all the Liberty Loan drives. It is expected she will bring her daughter-in-law and grandchildren to California with her and establish them at her home near San Diego. RECLAMATION PLANS Plans for raising $50,000,000 to reclaim and settle 200,000 acres of Imperial Valley land through irrigation from the Colorado river were discussed at the meeting of the California State land settlement board at San Francisco which was called to arrange for the proposed bonding of the state for $10,000,000 for soldier and civilian farms. If the bond issue passes, land and loans up to $3000 will be available, the board announced. California is about to give the world another product. Lima bean candy is the very latest in sweets, it having been successfully made at Oxnard. It was tried out on the Oxhard Board of Trustees, who are willing to vouch for the product. A couple of weeks ago it was predicted that the price of shoes would be about $30 per pair before Christmas. Then came the government attack on the high cost of living, and now announcement is made that this autumn's shoes will be sold at from $8.00 to $12.00. Some come down, but not enough. IN THE OIL FIELD (From Brea Progress) The Federal Drilling Company is putting lumber on the ground for the starting of its first well on the seventeen acre tract recently leased from the Heffron interests and will begin drilling at once. The making of more than 2000 feet of hole on three wells without a fishing job or mishap to delay the work is the run of luck the Petroleum-Midway is having on the Yarnell property in the Richfield district. Yarnell No. 1 is drilling in shale and boulders at 2030 feet. No. 2 shows 2450 feet in the same formation. No. 3 is drilling at 2150 feet, the formation here being also shale and boulders. Granite of the hardest texture is holding back the drilling of the Santa Ana Canyon's Crowther No. 1 rather seriously. Only about 25 feet of hole a week can be made. The hard rock was struck at 1175 feet and at 1250 feet there are no indications of a change in the formation. The Standard's deep test well on the Anaheim Union property is now drilling at 1310 feet. After passing through some three hundred feet of conglomerate of blue shale a change to sandy shale has been noted and the change may cause the deep well to take on a little different aspect. On the Kraemer No. 1 property the Standard is busy with three wells. Dowling, Forbes, Pancheon and Hugo properties, all small tracts but lying adjacent and taken altogether make up a very respectable oil holding. Development of these properties is to commence soon. In addition to these new holdings the Fullerton Oil Company has under consideration a number of properties lying around the big reservoir at Yorba Linda and may close a number of deals for these soon. The Fullerton Oil Company's reedrilled and deepened well on the Travis at Yorba Linda is cleaning out at 2875 feet and reports today from the well state that it is looking very good. The General Petroleum's Yorba No. 3-1 well drilling at 3145 feet came into a brown shale formation that is carrying lots of gas, making the well look exceedingly encouraging. Less than a hundred feet more here should show something good. The Union Oil Company is leading the field for work on new properties and is making some remarkable progress in getting a large number of wells started. Chapman No. 5 is rigged up Dickson No. 1 is marked with a completed rig. For Morse No. 1 rig lumber is going on the ground. Placentia Orchard No. 1 has a rig up and Newell No. 1 shows 620 feet of hole. Contrary to all that has happened in the past on the Standard's famous Murphy property, No. 55 came in a small well, the initial production being fifty barrels. The well was completed at 4000 feet, No. 56 stopped drilling at 4100 feet and is now putting in the rods and tubing preparatory to going on production. Drilling opera-under the jurisdiction of this department, and, if you contemplate investing, do your business with them. EXPAND THE FRUIT INDUSTRY Intensive horticulture and employment for thousands result from the extension of the fruit products industry. The increasing world demand for fruit juices and manufactured fruit products is building great employing industries in the west such as box and can manufacturing, label printing, etc. Increased berry and small fruit acreage is the great need of western fruit industries. Production of loganberries, blackberries and raspberries for fruit juices, canneries, preserves and jellies in from one to ten acres tracts in western states will make any family prosperous, stimulate local manufacturing and healthful employment of family labor. Commercial clubs should take an interest in increasing berry acreage as the product will bring profitable prices for years to come, and a large income per acre from sale of rooted plants. CANADA'S WEALTH IS PUT AT OVER $16,000,000,000. R. H. Coats, Dominion Statistician, in an article in the "Monetary Times Annual," estimates the wealth of Canada at between sixteen and seventeen billion of dollars. Agricultural production for 1918 was almost $2,000,000,000. Life insurance companies in the past years experienced heaviest losses in their history. In spite of this fact they were able to subscribe over $50,000,000 to the 1918 Victory Loan. Fire insurance company losses were also unusually heavy, but they also made The Standard's deep test well on the Anaheim Union property is now drilling at 1310 feet. After passing through some three hundred feet of conglomerate of blue shale a change to sandy shale has been noted and the change may cause the deep well to take on a little different aspect. On the Kraemer No. 1 property the Standard is busy with three wells. Kraemer 1-4 completed rigging up and has made 800 feet of hole. Kraemer 1-5 spudded in today and 16 is building rig. In order to accommodate the change from cable tools to the rotary the rigs of the Santa Fe Oil Company on the Bradford property are being rebuilt and made higher. The Federal Drilling Company has taken the contract for the completion of the three wells started, and will do the work with the rotary tools. Bradford No. 1 shows 745 feet of hole. No. 2 is 110 feet deep and No. 3 has been drilled to 956 feet. That the Standard Oil Company has a big drilling program mapped out for its Kraemer and adjoining properties was made known here today when work was begun on the plans for a large and up-to-date camp for the Richfield district. In keeping with the Standard's policy of furnishing its employees with the best in the way of housing and camp equipment the Kraemer camp will have everything that makes the oil man healthy and happy. The Standard's Collins well at 3427 feet came into a good showing of oil. On account of some water being present, a string of pipe will be set here before the drilling resumes. The well is located less than a quarter of a mile from the Chapman gusher and should be worth while. The Standard's Kraemer 2-1 has stopped drilling at 2980 feet and at this point will be cemented. Kraemer 2-2 is still standing with the cement setting at 2898. As predicted last week the Union Oil Company's Chapman gusher reached the 5000 a day mark. However, the prediction fell short some 200 barrels. A careful gauge on the production at the close of last week showed the well making within 20 barber is going on the ground. Placentia Orchard No. 1 has a rig up and Newell No. 1 shows 620 feet of hole. Contrary to all that has happened in the past on the Standard's famous Murphy property, No. 55 came in a small well, the initial production being fifty barrels. The well was completed at 4000 feet. No. 56 stopped drilling at 4100 feet and is now putting in the rods and tubing preparatory to going on production. Drilling operations on the Murphy now include No. 60 making hole at 4465, No. 62 drilling at 3440, No. 63 at 3500, No. 65 at 3500 and No. 69 drilling at 1560 feet. At No. 69 some fast time was made with the rotary as some 1400 feet was drilled during the week. New work includes the setting of boilers at Nos. 70 and 71. Nos. 72 and 73 are new locations. After drilling to better than 3400 feet and finding nothing to encourage further drilling the Amalgamated Oil Company is making preparations to abandon its Durfee No. 1. The quitting of the Durfee well records another failure in attempts to extend the northeast boundary lines of the present producing Montebello field. EFFORTS TO ELIMINATE FRAUDULENT OIL COMPANIES State Corporation Commissioner Belows Trying to Safeguard Investors. When Commissioner of Corporations E.C.Bellows started the intensified campaign for the protection of unsophisticated investors against fraudulent ventures in oil company promotions, and to put a stop to the illegal advertising of stocks which were not authorized to be sold in California, he also had in mind giving the public suggestions which, if followed, would be a safe guide for the investors and at the same time make it possible to catch peddlers of bogus and unauthorized stock. The Commissioner suggests that prospective investors follow these simple suggestions: 1. Refuse to buy stocks except from or through brokers or brokers' agents, companies or company agents who can show a license or permit from the State Corporation Department. 2. In every instance, when solicited to purchase stocks, request that the... As predicted last week the Union Oil Company's Chapman gusher reached the 5000 a day mark. However, the prediction fell short some 200 barrels. A careful gauge on the production at the close of last week showed the well making within 20 barrels of 5200. The well is a marvel for its gradual and consistent production and is now the greatest producer of clean oil in the state. The oil is coming from the sands as clean as one-tenth of one percent, and the gasoline content is remarkably high for a 23 gravity well. The gas pressure stands around 275 pounds and is very stable. At 2320 feet the Amalgamated's Yorba No.1 struck a considerable quantity of oil and gas, the first showing the well has made. The drilling is going good here, some 60 feet being made in the past week. The Yorba well constitutes the Amalgamated's first showing of oil in the new field and consequently gives the management considerable encouragement. The Clark Oil Company's Hugo Wetzel is paralleling the Chapman quite closely for conglomerate. The Clark well struck it early and at the present depth of 1725 feet the hard formation continues. The Fullerton Oil Company has just closed a deal for the lease of the Joseph Berkenstock property, a 35-acre tract lying one-half mile north of the Union's Chapman gusher. On the south side of the Chapman property the Fulerton has taken leases on the at the same time make it possible to catch peddlers of bogus and unauthorized stock. The Commissioner suggests that prospective investors follow these simple suggestions: 1. Refuse to buy stocks except from or through brokers or brokers' agents, companies or company agents who can show a license or permit from the State Corporation Department. 2. In every instance, when solicited to purchase stocks, request that the solicitor's license or authority from the State Corporation Department be shown, or the company's permit for the sale of such stock in California be exhibited. 3. If solicitors cannot produce such license or permit, refuse to purchase, and immediately notify the Commissioner, 808 Forum Building, Sacramento, California, of such offer, giving the name of the solicitor and such other data as possible, pertaining to the stock offered. 4. Do not invest in stocks of corporations, offered by circulars sent by mail, unless it is satisfactorily shown that such stocks are authorized to be sold in this State. If in doubt, write or otherwise communicate with the Commissioner for information as to whether authority has been given for the sale of the stock. 5. Beware of all extravagant promises for fabulous returns from small investments in stocks. 6. When in doubt concerning representations made of any stock offered, immediately communicate with the Commissioner, who will advise whether the stock is authorized for sale, or whether the solicitor has authority to sell. 7. Remember always that the broker, agent or company having a California permit to sell in California is somewhat divided, also, in the matter of the tonnage which will probably be handled at the 51g new plant on East Fourth street, this season. Estimates have been made, placing the probable number of tons as high as 1800. Last year 1300 tons of walnuts were packed at the packing house of local association. This year, according to a forecast made by Lewis, the association will handle not less than 1600 tons, and, he states, the figures may go to 1800. Lewis bases these estimates on the fact that a considerable new acreage has been signed up by the association. In addition, he calls attention to the size of this year's crop as warranting the belief that this season's association tonnage will be several hundred tons greater than in 1918. Asked as to damage done by worms this season, Lewis stated that the roads on the crop from this source were not nearly as great as last year. "Those orchards that were dusted with the arsenate of lead preparation are practically entirely free of worms," said Lewis. Concerning blight, Lewis stated that it appeared to be a trifle heavier than last year, but that this was offset by the heavier setting of nuts. "Only defective nuts are dropping," said Lewis. "I have been entirely through my orchard and made a careful search, but find that those nuts which have so far fallen are all defective." While it is yet too early for any accurate estimate as to the date when the association house will open to receive walnuts receipts will begin the latter part of September or the first of October. It is possible that operations will begin on September 25th. 4th ANNUAL TRACTOR AND IMPLEMENT DEMONSTRATION 1919 SEPTEMBER 16th. TO 21st.
