CHILI GROWING IS A PROFITABLE INDUSTRY ANNUAL PRODUCTION OF PEPPERS IN ORANGE COUNTY IS RAPIDLY INCREASING Garden Grove, the Real Home of Hot Stuff, Produces the Greater Part of the Output.—Nearly Six Thousand Acres in County. Just at present Orange county is red hot—with peppers—Mexican chili, long red and pimento. In the Garden Grove section things are particularly lurid, for here is the real home of the California pepper industry, and in one place there are fields aggregating 500 acres in one uninterrupted sweep of chilis, say the Cultivator. The census of 1910 gave California 55 growers of peppers, with an average of 417 averaging seven and one-half acres to a grower. Today Orange county alone has about 5,600 acres, divided as follows: Mexican chill, 2,800; long reds, 800; pimentos, 2,000; Nearly all the last named are canned in Los Angeles and Santa Ana, for these are the sweet peppers as distinguished from the "hot" peppers. The total output will probably be 1,800 to 2,000 tons of dried chili, 500 future will be dried in 48 hours, perhaps less. They may be dried much quicker, but the art of drying lies in extracting the moisture without deterioration of the chili in quality or appearance. One curious fact comes to light through a study of local weather conditions. It is quite evident that a good year for beans is apt to be a poor one for chilis, and vice versa. The present one is a chili summer, though a warm one. Peppers need continuous warm weather, not necessarily hot, but without fogs. It is well known that beans thrive best with foggy nights, especially the limas. In the Garden Grove section chilis are fertilized, often with bone meal, but as the soil is light and sandy, the best white growers are depending heavily on cover crops. The industry is grown by leaps and bounds, but who consumes all this fiery stuff is a speculative question. BAKER-MARCH PLAN FOR A WORLD POLICE ARMY Further light on the Baker-March plan for a regular army of 500,000 men was given in the recent testimony before the Senate Military Affairs Committee by Colonel John McK. Palmer, formerly a member of General Pershing's staff, and now on duty with the General Staff at Washington. According to the statements of Colonel Palmer, General March overruled the plans of the General Staff for an army of approximately 276,000 men, with universal training, and issued permeatory instructions. And T Several gentlemen tended a convenience all going over home singly the certainty whether town has a great city jail and is now in a station sanitary in charge, but the ethical aspect could be rented ing.

A young man electrician boasts two weeks. After the first thing he silk shirts at $15. Some of the Jness here pay no housing problem so growers of peppers, with an average of 417 averaging seven and one-half acres to a grower. Today Orange county alone has about 5,600 acres, divided as follows: Mexican chill, 2,800; long reds, 800; pimentos, 2,000; Nearly all the last named are canned in Los Angeles and Santa Ana, for these are the sweet peppers as distinguished from the "hot" peppers. The total output will probably be 1,800 to 2,000 tons of dried chill, 500 tons of long red (dry) and 2,500 tons of the latter used green. These figures were given out by J. A. Knapp of Garden Grove, who says that in this district the monetary returns from the pepper crop will exceed those from oranges, walnuts, beans, peaches, apricots and eggs. This is a pretty "hot" story though it comes from a chill district. The largest drying plant is two miles from Garden Grove and belongs wholly to Japanese. In this center there are 18 drying houses and nearly half as many warehouses. These are small, the average perhaps 16 by 24 feet, with walls eight feet high. The larger houses will each hold 1,500 trays of chilis containing about 30 pounds to a tray, but when dried the 30 pounds is reduced to about five. They are held in the houses six or seven days at a strong heat. The first two days the temperature is kept at 140 and for the remaining four or five days at 120 to 125. During this time the chilis turn from a vivid scarlet to a sedate chocolate brown. The drying season commencements about October 10-20 and continues until frost catches the chilis in the field. The ripe peppers are not damaged by a light frost so they still come in after the plants have frosted. The season therefore, usually closes in December, but during one mild and glorious winter it continued into February. Sun dried chilis are almost a thing of the past, except with growers on a very small scale. In testing the efficiency of the drying process the experts first hold the pods to the light to see if they are clear and bright in color and then open the peppers to see if the seeds are a bright light golden yellow. If this condition has not been obtained they have not been well dried. At seaking time they are mony before the Senate Military Affairs Committee by Colonel John McK. Palmer, formerly a member of General Pershing's staff, and now on duty with the General Staff at Washington. According to the statements of Colonel Palmer, General March overruled the plans of the General Staff for an army of approximately 276,000 men, with universal training, and issued permitory instructions for the preparation of a bill providing for the organization of an army of 576,000, at a total cost of nearly a billion dollars. The bill was drafted by a committee of which Colonel Palmer was chairman. "We never could win a war with that bill," was Colonel Palmer's eloquent description of his views on the bill which he drew up under orders of his chief. Colonel Palmer commended the general provisions of the Chamberlain-Kahn bill, calling for a small regular army with universal military training for citizenship, and stated that it would adequately meet America's military needs. It is this bill which has the support of the Military Training Camps Association, of General Wood, and the great majority of American army experts, and those citizens generally who wish for the adoption by the United States of a rational and intelligent military policy. The Baker-March scheme for a professional army of neary 600,000 men is but a clumsy attempt to saddle on the United States a military force that will be at the disposal of the Council of the League of Nations for the performance of any duties that it may wish to have performed in any part of the world. Under it American boys would be guarding the spoils of imperialism, wherever won. The American Army would pass from the control of the sovereign American people to a handplucked body sitting at Geneva or Brussels wherein the United States is, under the proposed plan, to exercise as much power as the Kingdom of Hedjaz. The defeat of the Administration's Army bill, and the substitution of a democratic system of universal training, with a small professional army, is one of the most urgent duties that now faces the Congress of the United States.

In testing the efficiency of the drying process the experts first hold the pods to the light to see if they are clear and bright in color and then open the peppers to see if the seeds are a bright light golden yellow. If this condition has not been obtained they have not been well dried. At sacking time they are sometimes too brittle and will break up, but this is overcome by a light springling with water before handling. These are the methods by which the Japanese were handling chilis as observed by the writer who was in several drying houses and warehouses. Quite a different process of drying is being installed at the Knapp ranch three miles west of Garden Grove. Mr. Knapp has eight kilns or drying houses, originally equipped the same as the Japanese plant. The fact must not be overlooked that all these houses are heated by natural gas piped from the nearby hills. Four of the Knapp houses are now being converted into steam dehydrators, and in time it is expected this equipment will be installed in the remaining four. This gives Mr. Knapp the largest plant in drying capacity in the state. The equipment is being placed and operated under the supervision of G. A. Austin, representing the manufacturers, the Cutler Dry Kiln Company of Buffalo, New York. Mr. Austin is also installing plant for dehydrating chilis at Buena Park for Joannes Bros., one at the university farm, Davis, and another at Guasti, the two latter for grapes. All plants thus far are meeting with success, and instead of six or seven days the chilis of the BELIEVES IN RECIPROCITY An Eastern editor has decided on a scale of prices for various kinds of puffs in his newspaper.

It is not known for a certainty whether or not the nearby town has a great white way. The city jail has been fumigated and is now in a spick and span condition sanitary in every way, say thirteen charge, but tenantless. Aside from the ethical aspect perhaps the rooms could be rented for light housekeeping. A gentleman speaking at an a blage of citizens in a neighboring city recently concerning the aeroplane as a means of carrying passengers in formed his hearers that there was no danger while you were up in the air. By that it is inferred the real danger was when you hit the earth. It has just become known that an employee has been in the service of the city for 35 years and for 23 years of that time has never taken a Sunday off nor enjoyed a holiday. What would a walking delegate say about that. A young man who is engaged as an electrician boasts of earning $95 in two weeks. After getting his money the first thing he did was to buy two silk shirts at $15 a piece. Some of the Japs engaged in business here pay no attention to the housing problem.

The fact that the passageway was in existence was one of the considerations which induced the plaintiffs, they declare, to lease the room occupied by their cafe.

Sixteen of the families own their own homes, 29 pay rent and 15 have their rent furnished free. Twenty-five of the Mexican Indians were born in the United States, and 35 were born in Mexico.

When news of the veto reached here many gents began brushing up the time cards going into the wet zones. A little bird whispers that one of Anaheim's well-known business men will soon hook up in double harness. Knowing ones say that if you hold your ear to the ground you can hear a story that will jar you. Chance for the gum-shoe man. Oil drilling companies are notably reticent about divulging information about their success, but a report is now out on apparently good authority that the H.K. and T. wildcat well being drilled a few miles south of Irvine is showing some promising indications. The hole is now drilling at 1500 feet. It is reported, and there is enough oil and gas being encountered to make things look interesting, the well having commenced at 1400 feet to show up rather good. It is rather unusual oil men say, for a blue shale to carry any oil or gas. SEEKING AN INJUNCTION Through a suit filed in Superior Court Monday through Attorney Ernest R. Coll. St. Los Angeles, Trefon Harrison and Bill Gathas will seek an injunction which would prevent Mary Ziegler from carrying out an alleged threat to close up a passageway connecting the Oyster Loaf Cafe, at 174 West Center street, Anaheim, with a hotel adjoining the cafe on the west and operated by Mrs. Ziegler. The plaintiffs declare that Mrs. Ziegler originally caused the passageway to be built for the purpose of enhancing the rental value of the premises used by the cafe. The fact that the passageway was in existence was one of the considerations which induced the plaintiffs, they declare, to lease the room occupied by their cafe. The lease in question was signed on February 1, 1919, and covered a period of five years, according to the plaintiffs. The lease was signed by the defendant and by her husband, John Ziegler, who died last June. If Mrs. Ziegler carries out her alleged intention of closing up the passageway the plaintiffs will suffer estimable damages, they declare. The value of restaurant business from day to day, in a very great measure depends upon the continued existence of the passageway, according to the complaint. In fact, the plaintiffs assert, without the existence of the passageway, the lease would be valuable. INDIGENT FAMILIES IN ORANGE COUNTY Sixty Mexican and 142 White Families Receiving Aid. That there are in Orange county at the present time sixty indigent Mexican families and 142 white indigent families is the information contained in a report by W. S. Gregg, county aid commissioner, who will forward the report to the Commission of Housing and Immigration, San Francisco.
