LARGER ACREAGE OF BARLEY THIS SEASON INCREASE IN ORAGE COUNTY OVER LAST YEAR IS ESTIMATED AT 4000 ACRES. Thirty-Five Thousand Acres Planted in the County.—Bean Crop Estimated at Fifty Thousand Acres, More than Two-Thirds Limas. Rough estimates made by County Assessor James Sleeper placed the barley acreage in Orange county this year at 4000 acres more than last year. The entire amount of land devoted to barley this year will be approximately 35,000 acres, according to Sleeper's estimates. It was stated at the office of the Irvine ranch that while seed barley is about twice as dear as usual, thus tending to make growers more conservative, still the outlook for good prices this season on both hay and grain are encouraging. This was ascribed as one of the principal reasons for the increase in barley acreage in certain districts of the county. ent rancher, will not plant as many beans this year as last, it was said. He farms approximately 2400 acres, and intends to plant no beans whatever in the hilly sections of his three ranches. As far as the sections on the Newport Mesa are concerned, it appears that the bean acreage will be considerably smaller than it was last year. Henley Ellis, whose ranch of 900 acres is located eight miles southwest of Santa Ana, will have close to 800 acre in barley this year. His bean acreage was 250 acres last year, while this year it will be only about 125 acres. Mrs. S. E. Ellis, mother of Henley Ellis, who farms 800 acres on the Newport Mesa, will have the entire property in barley this year, as compared with 500 acres in black-eye beans last year. AGAIN RAISING SHEEP San Diego county, along with many other California counties, was one vast sheep range in the early days. With the establishment of the missions sheep were introduced by the Franciscan Fathers, from which beginning they increased, reaching the greatest number in 1880. They were herded in large bands over the fields of the county, migrating to the coast in winter and to the mountain regions in the summer. With the development of irrigation projects and the cutting up of the lands into small farms sheep raising gradually declined until only an occasional band was found. HELD FOR PAYMENT Mrs. I. J.

This was ascribed as one of the principal reasons for the increase in barley acreage in certain districts of the county. While it is still somewhat early for experts to arrive at accurate estimates as to the acreage that will be planted to beans in the county this year, still it was said that it will probably be found that when planting is completed 35,000 acres will have been planted to limas, and 15,000 to black-eyed beans. On the Irvine ranch, where tentative estimates were given out, 14,000 acres will be in barley, this season, while approximately 17,500 acres will be in limas and 5000 acres in black eyes. On this ranch the barley acreage will be less by about 1000 acres than it was last year, it was stated. While there are some 2,000 more acres of black-eyes on the Irvine property last year than there probably will be this year, this is explained by the fact that a great deal of what is called rotate bean land will be planted to barley this year. Assessor Sleepepr, himself for many years a prominent rancher this county, having disposed of his farming interests in the Trabuco canyon about six months ago, and who is in touch with agricultural developments in the county, estimated that the acreage of black-eye beans this year would be from 25 to 30 percent less than it was last year. On the other hand, County Auditor W. C. Jerome, who is prominently identified with bean growing activities here, said that while this year's black-eye acreage in certain districts might possibly be somewhat smaller than last year's, still this would made no appreciable difference in the output of this variety from the county as a whole. The lima acreage will be approximately what it was last year, Jerome said. Jerome called attention to the fact that the general practice among farmers is to rotate their crops, by plant-franciscan Fathers, from which beginning they increased, reaching the greatest number in 1880. They were herded in large bands over the fields of the county, migrating to the coast in winter and to the mountain regions in the summer. With the development of irrigation projects and the cutting up of the lands into small farms sheep raising gradually declined until only an occasional band was found. With the increasing value of wool and mutton, however, and the need of more livestock on farms, sheep are being increased under a new plan of handling. Under this plan a farm of sufficient size may have from 20 to 100 or more head of sheep which are pastured from one field to another, following up the hay and grain, corn and other crops, serving largely as scavengers of the farm. Contrary to the range practice two crops of lambs per year may be obtained, as well as two wool clips, where best care is given, which naturally increases the returns. When clipped once from eight to 10 pounds of wool is considered an average for a matured one. DAIRYMEN MEET Cow talk will be the program for Wednesday, January 21st at Raitt's Dairy on So. Bristol street. The dairy department of the Orange County Farm Bureau has just completed a very interesting program for the dairymen of Orange county. A cow judging demonstration will be conducted by Mr. H. S. Scribner, dairy expert of Los Angeles Farm Bureau. Mr. Raitt, proprietor of the dairy where the meeting will be held, has records on all his cows. He will give all dairymen an opportunity to pick out the highest producing cows in his string. A prize will be given to the one picking out the three highest cows. G. E. Gordon, another stock expert, will address the meeting on the subject of "Feeds and Feeding." H. S. Hoard, of Wisconsin, will discuss "The Improvement of Dairy Stock." A representative of the California Dairy Council will also speak at this Jerome called attention to the fact that the general practice among farmers is to rotate their crops, by planting barley one year and beans the next. In this connection, it was stated that barley sown on land where beans were grown the previous year shows a larger yield than barley sown on land where no beans had been the preceding year. Ranchers take advantage of the well known soil enriching qualities of bean crops. Barney Clinard, who farms approximately 2200 acres on the Moulton ranch, in the El Toro district, stated that while he had 400 acres in beans last year, he will have only about 150 this year, the remainder of his lease being planted to barley. Emory Salter, another lessee on the Muolton properties, will have practically his entire 800 acres in barley this year, it was stated. He was quoted as saying that if there were not an additional rainfall in the near future he intended to plant about 100 acres, which he had been reserving for bean growing, to wheat. Should the season turn out comparatively dry, barley and wheat will prove more profitable crops the beans, under the same conditions. Eugene Ahearn, another rancher in the El Toro section, farming approximately 200 acres, will have only about 100 acres of beans this year and the rest in barley, it was stated. Aaron Buchheim, another prominent ANAHEIM GAZETTE HELD FOR PASSING WORTHLESS CHECKS Mrs. I. J. Todd of Brea Must Answer to the Charge. In default of $1000 bail, Mrs. I. J. Todd, who was arrested at Brea on a charge of drawing a bank check with intent to defraud, was at the county jail Wednesday, following her preliminary examination in justice court, where she was held to answer to the superior court. The complaint against her was sworn to by F. E. Smith, proprietor of the Brea Pharmacy, and charged her with uttering a no-fund check for $10. Testimony at the preliminary hearing was given by Mrs. F. E. Smith, who said Mrs. Todd came into the drug store and offered a $10 check as payment for a $2 bill of goods. Mrs. Todd was given $8 in change, Mrs. Smith testified, and requested permission to leave the goods she had purchased. Mrs. Tood never returned for the goods, Mrs. Smith said, and later the check was returned from the La Habra Valley bank, marked no funds. Testimony for the state also was given by L. A. Sayles, casbier for the La Habra Valley bank, and by Deputy Charles A. Hillbrook. Deputy District Attorney W. F. Menton prosecuted. Prior to the opening of the hearing Justice John B. Cox asked Mrs. Todd if she was ready for the proceedings to begin. She replied in the negative, saying that she wanted "the man who got her into this," described by her as James Began brought into A.J.GAMBER-STORAGE-and COMMISSION CO. now ready to serve the public.

The United States Supreme Court Monday decided that the companies engaged in the business of transporting oil through pipe lines in California are common carriers and public utilities subject to regulation by the Railroad Commission. The decision is of great importance to California as it gives the State, through the Railroad Commission, control of the transportation of oil by pipe line with authority to fix rates for the service and regulate the practices of companies engaged in the business. In 1913 the California legislature passed a statute known as the "Oil Pipe Line Act" in which all the companies engaged in transporting oil by means of pipe lines were declared to be common carriers and public utilities subject to regulation by the Railroad Commission. The commission instituted an investigation to determine what companies came within this definition, summoning the oil companies to appear and represent evidence as to their oil transportation business. The commission found that the Producers Transportation Company came within the provisions of the Oil Pipe Line Statute. The company was accordingly ordered to file with the commission its rates, rules and regulations for the transportation of oil. An appeal was taken to the California Supreme Court by the Producers company which operates from the fields of Coalinga, Kern, McKittrick and Maricopa to Port Harford on the coast of San Luis Obispo county. The State Court sustained the commission holding that the commission had the right, under the Constitution and the Oil Pipe Line Act, to declare the company a common carrier.

It was ordered that territory be transferred from the Placentia judicial township to the Brea judicial township to conform to voting precincts. A spraying license was ordered issued to Frank Maag. The purchasing agent was authorized to purchase a tractor for the Third Road District. It was ordered that money deposited in the county treasury on fines and forfeitures collected by city recorders in the enforcement of motor vehicle law, be apportioned according to stipulation filed Jan. 5, 1920, with the board. A deed for right of way from Etta W. Villmer was accepted and declared a public highway. FARM BUREAU DRIVE The Anaheim Farm Center will have its committees out soliciting members for 1920 this week. The territory will be districted and a committee placed in charge of each district. Other centers of Orange county are conducting their drives this week and very good reports are coming in.

The State Court sustained the commission holding that the commission had the right, under the Constitution and the Oil Pipe Line Act, to declare the company a common carrier. An appeal from this decision taken to the high court a Washington resulted in today's decision. In all the proceedings connected with the pipe line cases the commission was represented by Attorney Douglas Brookman. He appeared before the U.S. Supreme Court on December 9th and made his argument in support of the commission's claim of jurisdiction. RIGHTS OF UNVACCINATED SCHOOL CHILDREN UPHELD Court Holds that Under Law They Cannot be Denied School Privileges. By a decision of Judge Murray in the Superior Court the unvaccinated school children of Eureka who have been excluded from the public schools for some weeks on account of a finding of the state board of health that small pox exists, must be immediately transferred to a school which has not been exposed. The present vaccination law of California provides that unvaccinated school children must be admitted to the public schools upon the same conditions as those vaccinated except that when the state board of health shall make its finding that smallpox exists and that certain schools have been exposed to the contagion thereof, the unvaccinated may be excluded, but when so excluded they must be transferred to a school which has not been exposed. Although the law plainly provides for this transfer, health officers have persistently disregarded this provision in an effort to compel the vaccination of all school children. By this ruling the rights of unvaccinated school children to the services of the public schools are definitely recognized and educational facilities will have to be provided for any children excluded on account of being unvaccinated. This decision is of particular importance at this time with the present campaign under way to secure the vaccination of 80% of California school children which, according to the state board of health are unvaccinated. Because of the persistent attempt which has been made to ignore the present law and to deny unvaccinated school children their rights, the Public School Protective League has announced that it will place a constitutional amendment on the ballot at the general election to be held in November, 1920, which will prohibit vaccination, inoculation or other medication as a condition for attendance in a public school. In the meantime, the decision under the present law will do much to protect the rights of unvaccinated school children.

Imports were valued at $429,000,000, compared with $402,000,000, in October and $251,000,000 in November of 1918. For the eleven months of the present year the exports were valued at $7,242,000,000, and imports at $3,528,000,000, leaving a trade balance of $3,713,000,000 in favor of the United States. This is a billion dollars greater than the trade balance in the corresponding period a year ago. Exports of gold in November totaled $51,857,795, while imports amounted to only $2,296,770. Exports in Novem- ber of last year were $1,920,209. For the eleven months of the present year gold exports were $321,928,-309, compared with $282,438,487 for the corresponding period of 1918, while imports were $63,620,010, compared with $66,667,917 for the corresponding period of last year. Silver imports for November amounted to $7,018,621, compared with $5,-490,246 for November of last year. For the eleven months of the present year silver imports amounted to $79,725,-206, an increase of $12,679,752 over the corresponding period in 1918. Exports of silver last month totaled $19,052,-177, compared with $7,150,451 in November of 1918. For the eleven months of the present year exports were $208,-426,260, an increase of $3,885,972 over the same period last year. The trade balance showing is particularly flattering. It is an indication of what may be expected in future of the commerce of the world's creditor nation.
