WANT LEGISLATION ON JAP SITUATION Associated Chambers Appeals to Gov. Stephens for Aid. Urging Governor Stephens to convene the state legislature in extra session to consider the Japanese menace, the Associated Chambers of Commerce Wednesday night passed resolutions favoring the adoption of national legislation that will prohibit the immigration of Japanese to this country, with particular emphasis laid on the importation of picture brides. The resolution was offered by Dr. J. D. Thomas of Olive as chairman of the agricultural committee, to which was referred at the last meeting an investigation of the situation in this county, following a presentation of some of the conditions obtaining here by H. H. Covell of Cypress. "Senator Phelan says there are 150,000 Japs in the United States, 100,000 of which are in California," said Mr. Covell in speaking for the motion to adopt the resolution. "The birth rate of the Japs in California is equal to that of the whites, and the time has come when we should organize to combat this growing menace. If we don't we soon will be dominated entirely by the little brown men. They and their children are rapidly driving whites from communities in which they locate. In Colusa county, they control 90 per cent of the vegetable output. They are gaining in strength and financial importance everywhere throughout California." Dr. Thomas declared that the most objectionable feature was the picture bride and that the Japs were prone aga- IN THE OIL FIELD (From Brea Progress) At a little less than 175 feet the hard-conglomerate was struck in the Fullerton Oil Company's Anaheim Union No. 1. This formation has continued unbroken to the present depth of 735 feet. Sharpe-Hughes cone bits are being used to drill through this hard stuff, and in the last well some 270 feet was drilled with the cone drills. The tanks are up and preparations are about completed for the bringing in of the General Petroleum's big Stern well. The drill stopped at 2985 feet, where oil rose in a mighty volume and flowed over the crown block. Bailing of water is already well under way, and it is hoped that the well will start flowing without being swabbed. Work on Stern I-2 and 2-1 has started, also new work on the Yarrington lease. The Union Oil Company is now in the midst of the greatest development work the company has ever carried, and in order to not have any of the plans for the winter program go amiss a tractor has just been added to the equipment of the field department. The tractor will be used to pull heavy trucks and trailers over the new roads in the Richfield district when the mud gets deep. Work is often held up in a serious manner on account of the transportation facilities being hung up in wet weather. is making hole at 1300 feet, 2-3, 2-6 boilers and rigging.

In Colusa county, they control 90 per cent of the vegetable output. They are gaining in strength and financial importance everywhere throughout California." Dr. Thomas declared that the most objectionable feature was the picture bride and that the Japs were propagating so rapidly that it is only a matter of time when they will overwhelm this state and country unless something is done to check the immigration to this country of both men and women. Secretary Metzgar was directed to send copies of the resolution to Governor Stephens and members of the legislature and to urge that a special session be convened immediately following adjournment of the called meeting for action on the national prohibition amendment. Following is a copy of the resolutions offered by Dr. Thomas, as chairman of the agricultural committee: "Be it resolved, that we pass a resolution endorsing the action of the different bodies and organizations such as our own in protesting against the present Japanese situation in this country, and more particularly in this state, and that we heartily co-operate with other similar organizations and endorse their efforts to influence our congress to change our treaty with Japan, so as to exclude the immigration of Japanese to this country, and particularly prohibit the importation of picture brides." SCHOOL LANDS FOR SALE A sale of school lands at public auction in the counties of Madera, Fresno, Tulare and Kern, will be held by W. S. Kingsbury, State Surveyor General, at the court houses in said counties in the month of November. The Surveyor General reserves the right to reject any and all bids. The land in Madera county will be offered for sale at the Count House in the city of Madera on November 18th; that in Fresno county at the Court House in the city of Fresno on November 19th; that in Tulare county and in order to not have any of the plans for the winter program go amiss a tractor has just been added to the equipment of the field department. The tractor will be used to pull heavy trucks and trailers over the new roads in the Richfield district when the mud gets deep. Work is often held up in a serious manner on account of the transportation facilities being hung up in wet weather. Ralph Winger, superintendent of the Standard Oil Company's operations on the Kraemer properties, has made a very timely emergency preparation for all drilling wells. As all the drilling wells are using gas for fuel, and as gas lines are subject to breakage occasionally, and the occasion may happen when the tools are in the hole, the steam pressure drops and the tools stick. At each well a cord of wood is placed, this being enough to keep the steam up until the tools can be removed. The Amalgamated, drilling on the Ibbitson well at Yorba Linda, is down 3240 feet. At this depth the 6¼-inch pipe stuck, and an attempt is now being made to loosen it before going on with the drilling. To date this well has not shown any signs of oil and may have to be listed a dry hole on the Amalgamated's list of wildcat projects. One hundred feet of hole was made by the Amalgamated at Potter No. 1. A formation change from shale and boulders to a hard conglomerate has slowed the drilling down to a few feet a day. The Amalgamated's Breene, on adjoining property, is also drilling in the conglomerate and shows 629 feet of hole drilled, or about 50 feet for the week's work. After standing cemented at 3000 feet for a couple of weeks, the Clark Oil Company has drilled out the cement and tested Wetzel No. 1. To the disappointment of the management and others who have been watching this well closely, water was discovered after the cement had been drilled out.

One hundred twenty acres of the land in Tulare county contains immense deposits of lime suitable for use in the manufacture of cement. For a list of the vacant school lands and information relative thereto, address the Surveyor General, Sacramento, California. Senator John Sharpe Williams is a braver man than the Kaiser. The Kaiser only offered to fight the whole world while the gentleman from Mississippi has offered to take on the whole Irish race in mortal combat. The Democratic party would have been dead fifty years ago except for the practically unanimous support of the Irish vote, and yet John Sharpe Williams, administration spokesman, gets up in the Senate and calls the Irish a bunch of white-livered, yellow-backed cowards. After standing cemented at 3000 feet for a couple of weeks, the Clark Oil Company has drilled out the cement and tested Wotzell No. 1. To the disappointment of the management and others who have been watching this well closely, water was discovered after the cement had been drilled out. Soon after the drilling was started to go deeper and try for another shut-off, a twist-off of the drill pipe caused a bad fishing job, and now the well is held up. The drilling of 2250 feet by the Santa Ana Canyon Oil Company on the Crowther property has netted the company 28 twist-offs and 28 fishing jobs. Extremely good luck characterized every mishap in that at no time was the drilling ever delayed over 30 hours. Ike Skingle is looking after the well and he has already earned the title of champion fisherman in the oil fields. Late last week a pair of slips fell into the hole and the veteran fishing expert will have a chance to try his luck at picking iron out of the hole. On the original Kraemer property the Standard Oil Company has Kraemer 1-4 drilling at 2000 feet, and No. 3 drilling at 3030. Kraemer 1-6 has just spudded in and shows 25 feet of hole. Lock No. 2 has passed the 4000-foot mark without any encouraging showings of oil. On the Vejar, the Standard's most easterly property, No. 1 is drilling at close to 2350 feet. At Placentia the Standard is drilling three wells and getting ready to start two more at once.

The Union Oil Company continues to take the leadership in the development work of the new Richfield district. The Union has set stakes for four new wells, and these will start drilling as soon as preparations can be made. The new wells are Yorba No. 1, Shepard No. 1 and Chapman No. 7. The loss of close to 1600 feet of drill pipe in Toyell No. 1 has developed into a bad fishing job. Soon after the twist-off the pipe became stuck in the hole and resisted all efforts made to pull it out. The pipe is now being washed over, cut off in sections and pulled out. The work is being done with the Kammerer outside drill pipe cutter and is working very successfully. The cutting knives act as a fishing tool after each cut and hold the pipe securely until removed. The Union's Chapman lease is now one of the busiest properties in the Richfield district. Chapman No. 2 shows close to 1200 feet drilled, No. 3 is drilling at 2700 and will soon be in the oil sand. Chapman No. 4 is being rigged up. No. 5 is drilling in blue shale and shows more than 1800 feet of hole. Chapman No. 6 is building rig and No. 7 is a new well just located. No. 1, the gusher of the field, continues to hold its own at 3500 barrels daily. UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA EXTENSION DIVISION announcing-- Used Cars“with The A. A.

The term "tropical fruits," is often a misnomer so far as the hardiness of plants is concerned, for we grow plants from well within the tropics that are yearly visited by frosts on their native heath, writes Ernest Braunton in The Cultivator. Even at the equator frost forms at an elevation of 18,000 feet, while in some of the Hawaiian group, frost is found at a little more than 4,000 feet. So that it is possible to obtain plants from the tropic zone that are subject at all seasons to a lower temperature than prevails throughout California. Many of our so-called tropical fruits grow on mountainsides or in mountain valleys, and in tropic lands the temperature drops four degrees with every 1,000 feet of elevation. Bogota, Colombia, has the most uniform climate of any city in the world, the average daily temperature being 60 degrees Fahrenheit throughout the year. The Feijoa Sellowiana was sent to us as a tropical fruit, yet it is hardy in Oregon. The best Guatemalan availoue tough and fibrous with a flavor strongly turpentine, while others are delicately tender and of a flavor unexcelled. More than 500 varieties have been listed in India alone. Cocoanuts, pineapples and bananas are crops that will never be grown in commercial quantities in California. The two latter have fruited freely in many sections, but none of the fruits were of market value. It is possible that papayas may be grown in favored spots, but it is quite doubtful if they would prove good enough for market. It is certain we shall eventually have more guavas even if we have to produce hybrids with the more common one. The custard apple or cherimoya has been sparingly grown in California for a half century, but is still rare, for the reason that the best varieties have not been propagated by budding and many of the seedlings are very poor in flavor. The best are nothing short of luscious. A great future is in store for the eugenias, of which we grow many edible species, and some of these are much prized by their owners. Two passion fruits are grown here, of which many people are fond. The writer has eaten a half dozen large fruits at one time and relished ocean spice land. All plants of century past plant will of the star robust as plantation biscus, tha for jelly, nla for a now become well known harvested may yet lands now grow the plant comfess finest of peartain than in large pear acres.

Norris of Nebraska has received a letter from the Acting Governor of his State calling attention to a quantity of army trucks apparently abandoned by the Government, and rapidly deteriorating in the weather. The official inquired of the Senator if there was any way in which the trucks could be purchased of the Department for use on the farms in that vicinity. He stated that numerous inquiries addressed to the authorities in Washington had received no consideration whatever. Senator Norris is informed that conditions in Nebraska can be found repeated in various parts of the country, and he intends to see if something cannot be done to prevent the needless destruction of the machines, and find a way to make them available for farmers or others who may wish to put them to use. Friends of the administration had criticism choked off so long that they seem to be really surprised that anybody who is not boosting Mr. Wilson and all his works is permitted to talk. Many of our so-called tropical fruits grow on mountainsides or in mountain valleys, and in tropic lands the temperature drops four degrees with every 1,000 feet of elevation. Bogota, Colombia, has the most uniform climate of any city in the world, the average daily temperature being 60 degrees Fahrenheit throughout the year. The Feijoa Sellowiana was sent to us as a tropical fruit, yet it is hardy in Oregon. The best Guatemalan avocados occur at 6,000 feet, and that is the reason these fruits thrive so well in California. The strawberry guava is perfectly hardy here, though native to Brazil, and the Mexican white sapote is another example of a hardy tropical fruit. So let us lay aside our fears and suspicions when the term tropical fruits is used, for many of them are as hardy as our native live oak. Even the olive is considered a tropical fruit. In California we have at all times some tropical fruit that is high in popular favor until it becomes well established, after which the people become eager for a new fad. Just at present the avocado is most in popular favor, and the writer believes it will be followed by the mango. The avocado is now firmly established as a commercial fruit, and hundreds of acres are just coming into bearing in the south end of the state. No one has yet planted a mango orchard, but when we find what are the hardiest varieties, a large acreage will be planted to them. Many regard the mango as next in importance after the banana and pineapple. Others consider the mango the finest of all tropical fruits, but there is a great range in flavor and texture. Matay or Paraguay tea is a common beverage in South America, Brazil alone exporting 150,000,000 pounds annually to Argentina. The writer has bought it in Los Angeles and likes it very well. The leaves are from a holly which is hardy in the warmer parts of California. The chayote is becoming widely known and extensively planted and may now be found if all vegetable markets. The udo, dasheen and taro have not yet been recognized commercially though somewhat planted for private use. For a score of years the writer has advised planting the New Zealand flax for fiber, and it is gratifying to learn that a small acreage has been planted in California.

A few years ago fine mature plants of the sisal hemp, a species of century plant, were growing in Elysian Park, Los Angeles, proving beyond a doubt that this valuable fiber plant will thrive in the warmer parts of the state. They were as large and robust as those pictured on tropical plantations. Rosgille, a species of hibiscus, the calyces of which are used for jelly, has been planted in California for a score of years, but is only now becoming common. In Egypt the well known historic papyrus is being harvested for paper making and it may yet be planted in local swamp lands now valueless or we may even grow the favored Chinese rice paper plant commercially, for it makes the finest of paper. Nothing is more certain than that bamboo will be grown in large plantations in a few years. In a few spots in the state there are already plantations that cover a few acres. No plant may be put to a greater variety of uses, and of late years the tender tips, imported in cans from China and Japan, have been served in our vest hotels, being preferred by many to asparagus. More than a score of species are grown throughout the state and all have proven is said, the rate ranging from five to six cents. Following the action of the O. G. the Placentia Mutual raised the pay of its packers to six cents. They had agreed, at the time of their last raise, to not ask any further increase this year, and would have stood by their agreement, but the directors thought they should have as good pay as any others. The men also receive the five cents advance, and are now drawing 50 and 55 cents an hour. R. T. Davies has not raised the pay of his packers but they have been getting five cents a box all the year, with a straight bonus of two per cent, and are all satisfied. Under the new scale, and with the big fruit that is coming in, the packers can earn $4 to $6 a day.—Courier. WHAT WOULD ROOSEVELT DO?

Placentia had another strike last week, and there wasn't a word said about reds or radicals, bolshevik or I. W. W. The girls and women who pack fruit for the Placentia Orange Growers' Association asked for a compensation of six cents a box. They were offered 5½ but declined this figure and walked out. Then the directors met and decided to pay the six cents; at the same time they gave the male employees a raise of five cents an hour, and on Monday they all went to work again. This is the third increase the packers have had, each having been preceded by a strike. The total increase amounts to 50 per cent over pre-war wages, the old scale having been four cents. The women now receive as much as is paid anywhere in the state. WHAT WOULD ROOSEVELT DO? The Roosevelt estate is valued at $810,607, but the value of the Great American's life to his country cannot be estimated in terms of money. The great need today, when the country is face to face with the most tremendous economic crisis in its history, is for men of the Roosevelt type. Can anyone imagine a strike of the coal miners now or any time, so long as present conditions exist, if Colonel Roosevelt were President? All restrictions and incumbering precedents would be thrown to the winds and with a few, well-chosen words, words with teeth in them, he would tell the miners and operators that there would be no strike.
