Anaheim Gazette ISSUED EVERY THURSDAY ESTABLISHED 1870 Henry Kuehel, Editor and Proprietor SUBSCRIPTION PER YEAR ... $1.50 SIX MONTHS ... $1.00 THREE MONTHS ... $ .50 Entered at the Anaheim Postoffice as second-class matter WILL UNITED STATES PAY EUROPE'S WAR DEBTS? The letter reproduced below is from Henry A. Wise Wood, a leading New York manufacturer, advocate of preparedness and untiring defender of Americanism. It disclosed a plot to saddle the United States with the war debts of Europe, not only those of the nation's which were associated with this republic against Germany, but also it is planned to have America pay Germany's debts, too. Mr. Wood sends the letter out as a warning to the public. It is written to the Philadelphia North American. "The following incident may throw some light upon the cause of the advocacy of the projected League of Nations, which is so pronounced in influential financial circles. I relate it precisely as it occurred. "Early last May there called upon me at my office a Mr. J. J. O'Neill, whose engraved card described him as London Manager of the Manchester Guardian, of Manchester, England. Mr. O'Neill, who was a stranger to me, immediately introduced the subject of hence a special method of sewage disposal must be employed. The most reliable and satisfactory means under such conditions is usually the septic tank method." Copies of the circular may be obtained by writing to the Division of Agricultural Extension, College of Agriculture, University of California, Berkeley. THEY'RE ALL COMING HERE For the past few months this United States of ours has been in the whirl of one vast joy ride, from coast to coast and from lakes to gulf, writes Samuel G. Blythe in Saturday Evening Post. Fancy the California Limited coming across the desert in July in two and sometimes three sections, with Needles and the adjacent territory super-heated. Fancy two sections of the Overland Limited coming west jammed to the roof in the summer time and the North Coast Limited and the St. Paul trains and all the rest. Fancy the other trains, the tourist sleepers and locals, all the great transportation routes crowded with trains that are, in turn, crowded with tourists, and add to these thousands upon thousands of automobiles. There are so many automobiles in the Yosemite that the valley roads look like Market street in San Francisco or Broadway in Los Angeles on busy days, and there is a need of traffic cops to regulate the goings and comings thereof.

BOMBING The Martin boiled the United States ta Ana, but nothing some light upon the cause of the advocacy of the projected League of Nations which is so pronounced in influential financial circles. I relate it precisely as it occurred. "Early last May there called upon me at my office a Mr. J. J. O'Neill, whose engraved card described him as London Manager of the Manchester Guardian, of Manchester, England. Mr. O'Neill, who was a stranger to me, immediately introduced the subject of the League of Nations and took me to task because of my opposition to that project. Upon inquiring of him why an Englishman should be in this country instructing an American in the latter's national duty, and receiving no clear answer, I asked him bluntly what was the actual purpose of his visit to the United States. He replied that he was here upon a mission connected with the internationalization of the war debt. I asked him if he meant me to understand that he was here upon the business of inducing the United States to guarantee the war debt of the nations recently at war, including that of Great Britain, and that of Germany. He said he was. I told him that he would find little sentiment in this country favorable to such a project. This seemed to surprise him; he said that I was the first American he had met who did not favor it. I then asked him whom he had seen, and he replied that upon the previous day he had seen Mr. J. P. Morgan, and that Mr. Morgan had expressed himself as being in favor of the plan. "Whether this was or was not a correct statement of Mr. Morgan's position I have no means of knowing. But it might be valuable at this time to inquire publicly what plans, if any, are afoot to induce Europe's proposed new partner—the United States—to assume the obligations of the financially hard-hit members of the projected co-partnership, who are about to open the business of pooling their troubles under the title of the League of Nations."

B. Davidson, Professor of Agricultural Engineering, and W. B. Herms, Associate Professor of Parasitology, of the University of California, just issued by the College of Agriculture of the State University in co-operation with the United States Department of Agriculture. Besides containing five fine drawings showing the construction of the septic tank and directions as to the mixture of concrete, Portland cement, coarse sand, and screened gravel, the circular discusses the topics of sewage disposal, the use and function of the septic tank, the style and size of the tank, the final distribution of the sewage from the tank, and 10 directions for the building. "Many farms are now provided with water pumping and storage systems so that modern conveniences, such as kitchen sinks, bath and patent toilets can be introduced into the home. The progressive farmer with the welfare of his family at heart must reckon with these matters—they mean better health, comfort and economy. How to get rid of the sewage when modern plumbing is installed in a country home is a most important problem. There is, as a rule, no community sewer system with which to connect; OCTOBER IDEAL FOR SEEDING OF ALFALFA The misconception is wide that none but thoroughly rotted and weed-free stable manure should be applied to the field, which is to be broken and seeded to alfalfa. The fertilizing value of barnyard manure is so great and its liberal application is so beneficial to the alfalfa crop that specialists of the United States Department of Agriculture advise farmers to use all the manure they have available. The plant food realized from the fertilizer will tone up the soil and nourish the young seedlings so that they will get the jump on the weed crop, and once given this advantage, the alfalfa plants will smother out the majority of the enemies which may develop. Save all the manure to which you have access and distribute it in liberal quantities over the field to be plowed for alfalfa preferably before the breaking is attempted. It is largely a matter of individual preference how many times the field is harrowed, dragged and rolled before being seeded. It is essential that the subsurface of the soil be compact, and then be thoroughly fined before seeding. The seed should be sown preferably in a special alfalfa drill as it is necessary not to bury the seed too deep, a mispractice which often results where an ordinary grain drill with a grass seeding attachment is used. Where the alfalfa seeder is not available, a wheelbarrow or hand seeder. It has long been gossip in the corridor that the present real head of the W that Secretary Ball time acted as a ruler office of the chief ograss passed the permanent rank of general Pershing the same honor upon was stricken out.

The rate of seeding will vary in different localities. As a rule, from fifteen to twenty pounds of good quality seed to the acre are deemed sufficient, although in some localities as high as twenty-five pounds of seed are sown. A weeder is an excellent implement for 'covering the seed after broadcasting, but if it is not available a spiked-tooth harrow may be used. All soils designed for alfalfa culture must, of necessity, be free from surplus soil moisture, that is to say, well drained, while they also must be slightly alkaline. Inoculation of alfalfa fields is essential. The best and most simple system is to transfer some inoculated soil from an old alfalfa field to the new stand. This is best done in the afternoon of a cloudy day, the soil being distributed by shovel in the amount of about 300 to 400 pounds to the acre. This work should be done in the absence of sunlight, as the sun destroys the bacteria which induce inoculation. Before buying alfalfa seed the purchaser should inform himself fully regarding the variety best suited for his section and the quality of the seed with regard to both germination and purity. In choosing a variety or strain it is well to bear in mind that the quick-growing alfalfas, such as the Peruvian, because of their tendency to produce heavier yields, should be used. BOMBING PLANE COMING The Martin bombing plane circling the United States is on its way to Santa Ana, but nothing definite as to when THE JUNE DROP For many years I have made some quite expensive experiments in trying to solve the problem of the so-called June drop in oranges and have used every effort at my command, even to the extent of almost living with my trees, doing my own irrigating, watching and studying their wants as carefully as I did in the bringing up and education of my children. After these years of careful study I am convinced that a complete remedy is beyond the power of man, writes Geo. M. Cooley. The cause of the great drop in the young fruit is partially due to climatic condition. My many experiments so thoroughly convinced me that the foundation of the trouble was climate that I then decided not to desert the ship, but to study out some course which was still left for man to take in an effort to overcome the drop in part. So I consulted my assistant at my ranch, Mr. Ellis, and we mapped out a course intended to build up the trees, making them strong and vigorous, to enable them to pass through the period when the climatic conditions were against the young fruit. Before entering into the discussion of the plan which was agreed upon to build up the trees, I will explain the nature of the soil which my grove occupies in order that the reader may judge for himself whether his soil will admit of the same treatment which has proved so satisfactory to me in the care of my Valencia grove. My soil is a bench loam containing considerable grit. The soil averages from twenty-five to thirty feet in depth and the latter part of March, the orchard was deeply cultivated both ways and conserve the moisture. Another deep then harowed, leaving a deep mulch to irrigation was added in the latter part of May and followed by the same cultivation. This method insures ample moisture to carry the trees through the critical period of June and early July when the dropping is rampant. As before stated, the June drop and early July dropping of the young fruit is caused by climatic conditions and is beyond man's power to completely control; but a partial control can be obtained by having the trees in a strong healthy growing condition before the critical period sets in. My experiments have fully convinced me that we cannot continually grow oranges on old wood. The trees must be kept in a strong, growing condition during spring and summer that the process of renewing may continuously go on. The orange is a tropical fruit and requires a more even climate than we have had of late years. It will not totally withstand the great difference between the temperature at 5 a.m. and 2 p.m. Up to July 1 there was no drop in my Valencia orchard and the setting of young fruit was estimated to be above 100 per cent. The crop of old fruit was all picked early in June in order to relieve the trees of the burden of caring for the matured fruit. From June 30 to July 8 there was a marked difference in temperature between 5 a.m. and 5 p.m. During the heated part of the day the trees worked overtime to supply the moisture which was lost by evaporation through the leaves and young fruit. Upon close examination, the other trees condition of me In choosing a variety or strain it is well to bear in mind that the quick-growing alfalfas, such as the Peruvian, because of their tendency to produce heavier yields, should be used. BOMBING PLANE COMING The Martin bombing plane circling the United States is on its way to Santa Ana, but nothing definite as to when it will arrive is known. The plane started out to go around the edge of the United States and through the influence of Glenn L. Martin Santa Ana is included in the points at which it will stop. Martin advised Secretary Metzgar of the Chamber of Commerce some weeks ago that he had been successful in having Santa Ana named as a point for stopping and he promised to advise when the plane would arrive here. He no doubt will made good that promise. The plane was at Helena, Monday, what it is doing so far inland is not known. It is in command of Col. R. M. Hartz. He and his crew of four men were entertained at a banquet at Billings. If the machine comes direct into California, it should not be many days before it reaches this point. This is not the cross continent trip that was planned for a Martin bomber. GRADUATE LARGE CLASS Henry Avila, Supervisor of the Sea Training Bureau, United States shipping board, announced that one of the largest classes of young Americans ever graduated from the Training Ship Iris was transferred on the training ship's arrival at San Francisco from a ten days cruise at sea, last Thursday. There were ninety-four boys who graduated from the deck, engine and steward departments, having completed the prescribed course of instruction and they have since been placed on various Shipping Board vessels bound for all parts of the globe. These ambitious future officers of the American Merchant Marine are shipping out and will enjoy the benevolence of the plan which was agreed upon to build up the trees. I will explain the nature of the soil which my grove occupies in order that the reader may judge for himself whether his soil will admit of the same treatment which has proved so satisfactory to me in the care of my Valencia grove. My soil is a bench loam containing considerable grit. The soil averages from twenty-five to thirty feet in depth and seems to get richer and softer as it extends downward. Some writers have produced articles on the science of tree life and have made the statement that the orange tree is a shallow-rooted tree, never extending deeper than thirty to thirty-six inches. This is true in part, but only where the soil is underdrawn with hardpan, or has only a shallow surface built upon a boulder or rock base. I have seen trees washed out by storm water where the soil was deep and water was down to the depth of twenty feet or more. The tap roots of the orange and grapefruit trees were more than three times the depth stated by the writers referred to. I then dug up a tree where I knew the irrigation water had never gone below three to four feet and found that the tap roots had extended a few inches within the dry earth and at this point had turned almost at right angles and had run out, slanting upward in search of moisture. These facts were conclusive evidence to me that shallow irrigation was all wrong where the soil would admit of putting the water deep into the earth. Mr. Ellis and myself decided to break up the mat of surface roots by deep plowing and cultivating, thus forcing the root system to a deeper level. The method adopted to deepen the water in the soil was by putting three large shovels on the cultivator, setting them down from eight to ten inches, and making six of these so-called ditches between each space of twenty-two feet. As the water in my grove runs from north to south, I commenced making ditches on the lower side of the orchard east and west. As soon as the orchard was all laid off east and west, it was then ditched in the same manner north and south and the water turned on, allowing it to reach the lower end. The filling and banking of 100 per cent. The crop of old fruit was all picked early in June in order to relieve the trees of the burden of caring for the matured fruit. From June 30 to July 8 there was a marked difference in temperature between 5 a.m. and 5 p.m. During the heated part of the day the trees worked overtime to supply the moisture which was lost by evaporation through the leaves and young fruit. Upon close examination; I found the young fruit to be slightly wilted at 2 p.m. and at 5 a.m. The next morning they were full of moisture and very firm. For that reason I concluded it was contraction and expansion caused by the two great extremes in so short a time that causes the drop and am firm in my belief that a total remedy for it is beyond man. Notwithstanding nearly all of my trees were in a strong healthy, growing condition, the drop from June 30 to July 8 was fully 50 per cent of the setting prior to July 1. To show the absolute necessity of deep irrigation and proper fertilization so that the trees may enter the critical period in a strong, healthy growing condition, I wish to state that the very few trees in my orchard that could not be given the proper food and water dropped almost the entire crop. I have experimented with cover crops of burr clover, grain, etc., but have laid them all on the shelf. My conclusions are, after some years of personal work with deciduous and citrus fruit trees, that tree life is somewhat like human life, quite selfish, and the trees behave much better when they have all the soil to themselves. The method which has given me the best results and the most profit in my deciduous and citrus orchards is plowing and cultivations during the winter, when the soil is in proper condition, after each rain, to retain moisture and properly aerate the soil. Deep cultivations are given the orchard both ways after each irrigation in spring and summer to maintain a deep mulch of fine, dusty soil, thus conserving soil moisture. Cover crops prevent the proper aerating of the soil during the cold months in winter. A few hours' bright sunshine, after a cold, frosty night, upon an orchard that is deeply mulched will store heat that will illuminate women suit to tide-tolerant conditions.

These ambitious future officers of the American Merchant Marine are shipping out and will enjoy the benefit of the recent high scale of wages adopted on the Pacific Coast, as follows: Ordinary seamen $65.00 per month. Firemen $90.00 per month. Cooks $90.00 per month. Messmen $80.00 per month. Board and quarters are furnished free aboard ship. Supervisor Avila also stated that the training ship Iris would sail for San Pedro at once where one hundred new recruits are awaiting the training ship's arrival to join the service. ASKS EQUAL RANK WITH PERSHING It has long been a matter of open gossip in the corridors of the Capitol that the present Chief of Staff is the real head of the War Department, and that Secretary Baker has for some time acted as a rubber stamp for the office of the chief of staff. When Congress passed the bill conferring the permanent rank of General upon General Pershing the section conferring the same honor upon General March was stricken out. Now Mr. Baker has made a special trip to the Capitol to urge the passage of the bill which would place General Mach on an equal footing with the Commander-in-Chief of the American Expeditionary Force. The trees soon showed the benefit of this deep irrigation and conservation of all the rain water. By destroying all the matted surface roots and deep wetting of the soil, the root system of the trees was set to working downward in search of moisture and new plant food, thereby lessening the cost of fertilizers; while the deeper root system has resulted in a marked falling off in the wilting of the trees in the middle of the days this summer, In after each rain, to retain moisture and properly aerate the soil. Deep cultivations are given the orchard both ways after each irrigation in spring and summer to maintain a deep mulch of fine, dusty soil, thus conserving soil moisture. Cover crops prevent the proper aerating of the soil during the cold months in winter. A few hours' bright sunshine, after a cold, frosty night, upon an orchard that is deeply mulched will store heat that will greatly assist in lessening the danger of frost for the following night; while with a heavy cover crop, the action of the sun upon the soil is stayed. I prefer to purchase the plant food which is stored in the soil by cover crops and, instead, allow the soil to come in contact with nature's elements, at the same time allowing the trees to occupy all the soil to themselves. There must be ample moisture deep in the soil to carry the trees through the dropping period, as it is dangerous to apply water just before this period sets in. In one of my experiments with a heavy cover crop, the rains shut off early in the season and the cover crop drew so heavily from the lower levels of the soil moisture that it was impossible to get the ground in condition to deep wet it in the latter part of may. I was forced to irrigate the trees in early June, as the soil was completely dried out. The result was that I lost the entire crop. In conclusion, I wish to say again that this article is based only on my years of experience with the kind of soil which my trees occupy. In order that the grower may be successful, he must study the conditions in his own immediate locality, as the soil in Southern California varies much in depth and quality. As has been said before, March, the orchard planted both ways and mature. Another deepening a deep mulch to feed in the latter part by the same culinary insures ample of the trees through the June and early stopping is rampant. In the June drop and ring of the young fruit conditions and is far to completely control can be oblique trees in a strong condition before the rain. My experiments led me that we can now oranges on old must be kept in a condition during spring in the process of rejuvenation go on. The fruit and requires less than we have had will not totally witherence between the 1 m. and 2 p. m. We was no drop in my hand and the setting of estimated to be above the crop of old fruit may in June in order of the burden of matured fruit. From there was a marked literature between 5 a.m. during the heated part was worked overtimeature which was lost through the leaves and close examination; the one important thing is to keep the trees in a dark green, healthy growing condition prior to June 1, with plenty of moisture deep in the soil. ANTI-FLU RULES The "flu" may come back this winter. Here are some safeguards against it, based on recommendations of Surgeon-General Blue and other health authorities: "Do not sneeze or cough without covering the mouth. Do not spit promiscuously. Avoid persons who do those things. Avoid persons having colds. Keep out of crowds as much as possible. Walk to and from work if you can. Avoid common drinking cups or glasses, and dishes that may not be well washed, even if you must carry your own luncheon. Promote the health generally with regular meals and other habits, open bedroom windows, frequent baths, outdoor exercise and liberal drinking of water. "Don't neglect a cold. If you feel ill go to bed and call a doctor. If a case of influenza is recognized; keep other members of the family away from the patient as far as possible. The practice of these precautions will not necessarily ward off influenza, but they will greatly lessen the chances of catching it, and will diminish the severity of the attack if you do not catch it. If you are not concerned about the flu, it will pay to observe them just the same, for they will work just about as well in warding off other contagious diseases. They are simply common sense health rules for every-which-way." which were running the ads offering the unauthorized stock for sale. A temporary restraining order, directed against the District Attorney, was issued by Judge Lewis. When it became known that an assault was being made for the purpose of destroying the Corporation Department, a number of the executive heads of stock and bond houses in San Francisco and Los Angeles, with the approval of the Commissioner, employed former Commissioner Carnahan, author of the act, to appear as an attorney. Commissioner Bellows also was represented by Chief Deputy A. G. Fickelsen of the San Francisco office of the department, these attorneys with Assistant District Attorney Lovett of San Diego, appeared when arguments were heard on the demurrer to the petition. This is the first attack that has been made on the Blue Sky Law since the original Investment Companies Act became effective by a referendum vote by the people. It is not known whether an appeal will be taken to the Supreme Court, but the Corporation Department is prepared to meet such action, and believes that the highest court in California will sustain the decision of the lower court. The constitutionality of similar laws of Ohio, South Dakota and Michigan were sustained two years ago by the United States Supreme Court. BAND CONCERT The last concert of the season will be given at the library grounds tonight. A special program has been arranged. For that reason I contraction and extend the two great expenses time that causes them in my belief that it is beyond man. Early all of my trees healthy, growing consumm June 30 to July 16 of the setting to show the absolute irrigation and proper care of the trees may end in a strong condition, I wish to keep few trees in my garden not be given the better dropped almost. The constitutionality of the Corporate Securities Act, otherwise known as the California Blue Sky Law, has been sustained by Superior Judge Lewis of San Diego County, according to advice received by Commissioner of Corporations E. C. Bellows. This decision was made by the court in sustaining the demurrer to the complaint, and denying leave to amend, in the action recently instituted in behalf of Mrs. Margaret Truax, who had been operating as a broker in San Diego in violation of the law. A petition was filed asking the court for a restraining order to prevent the District Attorney from prosecuting Mrs. Truax. It was charged that the act conferred upon the Commissioner of Corporations, a ministerial officer, judicial and legislative powers contrary to the provisions of the constitution of California. Mrs. Truax started a stock-selling campaign by advertising the sale of Imperial Pacific Oil, Gas & Refining Company shares without first securing a license to conduct a brokerage business within this state. Commissioner Bellows warned her of the violation of the law, and directed that she cease the advertising campaign. These warnings were disregarded by Mrs. Truax, and the Commissioner requested the District Attorney of San Diego to institute a criminal action against her. In the meantime she filed an application for a broker's license and notice was sent to the District Attorney advising him not to proceed against the woman. She instituted an injunction suit to test the Blue Sky Law by petitioning the court for an order re- WANTED—5,000 cotton pickers for short staple, big boll. Bale to acre yield.
