COUNTY COW MEN JOIN THE FARM BUREAU SOCIETY TO BE A DAIRY DEPARTMENT OF THE COUNTY FARM BUREAU Many Speakers at a Meeting Wednesday Tell of the Importance of the Industry and the Profit in Breeding Good Stock. As the result of a meeting of Orange county dairymen at Raitt's Dairy farm Wednesday, a dairy department of the Orange County Farm Bureau is to be formed and will be affiliated with the State Dairy Council. In this step the dairymen of Orange county are joining in a statewide movement for thorough organization of the dairy interests of the state. J. T. Raitt, J. J. Kelly and M. Babylon were selected as a committee to take preliminary steps toward the organization of the dairymen of Orange county. P. H. Krick of Anaheim, who was chairman at the meeting, is ex-officio member of the committee. The committee is to meet this week at the office of Farm Advisor Wahlberg for perfecting plans for organization. The dairy division will have a director on the Farm Bureau board. The work that has been done by the State Dairy Council explained gave a demonstration of how samples of milk are taken and tested, and the exact butterfat production of each cow determined. He advised that cull cows be sent at once to the butcher lest they be kept in the dairy business. H. S. Scribner, dairy expert of the Los Angeles Farm Bureau, was ill Wednesday and was unable to be present at the meeting. Farm Advisor Wahlberg expects to arrange another meeting a month or two from now for a demonstration by Scribner. Following the meeting, the dairymen were shown through Raitt's dairy, declared by the experts to be a model dairy. Raitt is milking over fifty cows. He has an apparatus on the wall, patented by him, on which the exact production of every cow in his herd for any and every day for months just can be shown. As a milker finishes milking, the milk is weighed and taken from the concrete-floored milking barn to the enclosed milk-house where the milk passes through a series of strainers and is turned from warm milk to cold milk and bottled ready for delivery. The visitors were much interested in Raitt's method of manure disposal. Manure is taken into a concrete manure cistern. A stream of irrigation water runs through this cistern, and carries the manure fluidized, on to Raitt's alfalfa fields.

H. Krick of Anaheim, who was chairman at the meeting, is ex-officio member of the committee. The committee is to meet this week at the office of Farm Advisor Wahlberg for perfecting plans for organization. The dairy division will have a director on the Earm Bureau board. The work that has been done by the State Dairy Council was explained to the dairymen by Mr. Brown of the council. "Milk," said Brown, "is the most important food in the world, and dairying is the most important industry. Sixty-five per cent of the babies are dependent upon cows' milk for life. Yet instability has marked the history of the industry. The dairy interests of this state have been at the mercy of the big firms promoting substitutes for butter and milk. There can be no substitute for either, yet by advertising and legislative activities those big firms have made great headway." Brown said that for the state organization the dues are twenty cents per year per cow. The council has made great strides in the year it has been in existence. "Methods for Improvement of the Herd" was the subject of a talk by H. S. Hoard of Los Angeles, a well-known dairy expert. "Not one dairyman in ten—I might say not one in a hundred—gets the best possible production from his herd," said Hoard. "A cow eats for three reasons: First, to keep life in her body; second, to provide life for the calf that is to be born; third to produce milk. A cow can keep life in her body by eating nothing but straw, but she cannot get nourishment enough to bring forth a desirable live calf. There must be additional food for the making of milk. "The ordinary 1000-pound cow takes eight pounds of food per day for sustaining life. The food should be increased as the calf gets larger. When the cow is being milked she should be given one pound of grain for each three pounds of milk that she produces. TWENTY-THREE WOMEN CHOSEN AS JURORS Many Ladies will Sit in Judgment on Criminals During 1920. Of the eighty names submitted as trial jurors to superior court for 1920 by the supervisors, twenty-three are women. The list, which was announced late Tuesday afternoon, now goes to the superior courts. There, forty names will be drawn from the entire lot of eighty. From among these forty will be drawn the juries as needed during the first six months of this year. The juries to serve during the last six months will be drawn from the remaining list of forty names. The number of trial jurors which is required for the present year was determined by Superior Judges Z. B. West and R. Y. Williams. Each supervisor selected, sixteen names from his supervisorial district. It was believed today that the 1919 trial jurors would be discharged by the end of the present week. The selection made for this year are as follows: By Supervisor Finley: Fred Rafferty, M. L. Lane, L. H. Talbert, P. E. Newman, C. E. Lovett, C. S. Hubbard, J. M. Millon, George R. Smith, William Keseman, L. P. Hendrickson, J. H. Cochren, H. C. Dawes, Mrs. Helen N. Deimling, Miss M. E. Hamaker, Mrs. A. J. Lawton, Mrs. Jean Grubb. By Supervisor Talbert: James H. Birch, Ned N.

The food should be increased as the calf gets larger. When the cow is being milked she should be given one pound of grain for each three pounds of milk that she produces. "This feeding is a direct method for increasing production. The next direct method is weeding. You can't cut out your poor cows or keep your good cows by guess work. You must know what you are putting into that cow and what you are taking out. The only way to know is through measurements and tests. "The direct method for increasing production is by breeding. You have to pay for your bull. If you use a scrub bull, in the long run you pay a lot more for him than you do for a good bull. When you can get a registered calf bull for $200, as you can, there is no excuse for having poor bulls. When you buy a bull, by all means see the dam. Some say a good bull is half the herd. I'll tell you, a poor bull is no bull at all, just as a poor egg is no egg at all. But the dam counts a lot. See that she is a good, healthy cow and a reliable, heavy milker. Another indirect method for improving your herd is by properly feeding your calves. Give attention to the development of your calves so that your future dairy cow will be a strong cow, capable of handling her feed." G. E. Knight, official tester for the Los Angeles Cow Testing Association. ANAHEIM GAZETTE HUNTERS USING AIRPLANE ARRESTED The first arrest under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act for hunting wild fowl from an airplane was made in Missouri recently when the long arm of the law reached into the air and seized two men for hunting and killing wild geese from an air craft. The arrest was made by a warden of the Biological Survey, United States Department of Agriculture, which administers the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. Following their arrest the hunters made the trip to the office of the United States Commissioner at Carrthersville, Mo., in their plane. They had previously boasted of their ability, while flying, to herd the geese more effectively than sportsmen on the ground can possibly do. Hunting of the sort in which they engaged is specifically forbidden by the Federal law and the regulations thereunder. Several states have passed laws for bidding hunting from airplanes, among them being California, Michigan, New Jersey, North Carolina, and South Carolina. There is considerable sentiment in sporting circles against the practice, on the ground that it is unsportsmanlike. EMPLOYMENT AGENCY FOR MINING MEN State Mining Bureau Aiding Employer and Employee.

The California State Mining Bureau has inaugurated a technical employment service which is offered free of charge in the hope that practical benefit will result to those interested in the mineral industry of this state. A system has been installed whereby records will be kept of technical men who desire positions and of vacancies existing in the staffs of mining or oil companies, plants or reduction works. Companies or individuals are cordially invited to call at any of the offices of the State Mining Bureau or communicate by mail or wire, and every effort will gladly be made to satisfy their wants. According to State Mineralogist, Fletcher Hamilton, the bureau in undertaking this service has no intention of encroaching on the field of various private and public employment agencies which are already operating. It will not be feasible to attempt to extend this service to labor in general, but it is believed that a real need exists whereby operators who require technical help, such as engineers, geologists, superintendents, surveyors, assayers and others, will be in a position of knowing where they can find those available for technical work, and vice versa. It is of course understood that the State Mining Bureau will be in no position to make recommendations in any given instance. It will, however, be glad to assist in every possible way in establishing contact between the job and the man, leaving the final arrangements to the contracting parties. Blank forms have been prepared for this purpose, both for the employer and the applicant, and they may be had by communicating with the State Mining Bureau, San Francisco. PRODUCTION OF PEACHES IF IT SUCCEEDS IN ONE PLACE WHY SHOULD ANY PLACE FEAR IT? Everyone who believes that the public cannot operate a municipal enterprise more efficiently and more cheaply to the public than a private management can operate it ought to read the history of Pasadena's experiment in public ownership and operation of its electric lighting and power plant. This California city has owned and operated its electric light and power plant for twelve years. It has entered the field in competition against a private plant because the private plant charged too high rates. Its manager says: "Its business it had to fight for, and by so doing it has grown strong. It is doing so well that it has made no increase in its electric light or power charges during the war." It was able to increase the wage scale to its employees as fast as the cost of living advanced, and yet keep its charges to the general public at the old level. But this is not all that the municipal electric lighting plant of Pasadena was able to do. It is a small plant in a small city. Yet, out of its reserve funds it bought $125,000 of Liberty bonds. So satisfied are the people of the city with the success of their own plant that they have now made an offer to buy out the private plant, and their offer is likely to be accepted, because privately owned water, gas, electric light or transit companies do not often compete successfully against public-owned utilities in the same field. In twelve years the people of Pasadena, by owning and operating their own electric lighting plant, not only enjoyed their electricity at a lower price than was given them by any private plant, but have accumulated a surplus which has almost paid for the plant in that period. The manager says: "This should be appreciated when it is remembered that this plant has all PRODUCTION OF PEACHES The farm production of peach in 1918 was 34,000,000 bushels and, according to September estimates, in 1919 was 50,000,000 bushels. The commercial crop, in distinction from the farm production, for each of the past three years was as follows: In 1917, 29,000,000 bushels; in 1918, 21,000,000 bushels; in 1919 (September estimates), 29,000,000 bushels. These figures are taken from a compilation recently made for representatives of the Bcreau of Plant Industry, United States Department of Agriculture, in connection with a comprehensive study of the peach industry in the United States and the production of various districts. It was found that 34 states have an annual average production of more than 100,000 bushels each, Idaho's crop being the smallest of the 34 and California's crop the largest. The latter's average annual production of peaches for the five-year period 1912-1916, inclusive, was 9,669,000 bushels. Georgia ranked second with 4,550,000 bushels, Arkansas third with 3,503,000 bushels, Texas fourth with 2,877,000 bushels, and Missouri fifth with 2,670,000 bushels. While California far exceeds Georgia in yield, a large part of the former's peach crop is used for field. In twelve years the people of Pasadena, by owning and operating their own electric lighting plant, not only enjoyed their electricity at a lower price than was given them by any private plant, but have accumulated a surplus which has almost paid for the plant in that period. The manager says: "This should be appreciated when it is remembered that this plant has all been built up from nothing during the twelve years and at rates less than half what others have been charging in various places throughout the country, and at a rate that is 38 per cent lower than our neighboring cities, except Los Angeles, now pay for electrical energy." Citizens of Pasadena believe that they have attracted a great deal of business to the city by reason of the efficiency and the low charges for their electric light and power, besides the city's saving of at least $1,000,000 in twelve years.—L. A. Examiner. 28,000,000 WOMEN VOTERS The extent to which the woman vote will count in the Presidential election, provided the Constitutional Suffrage Amendment is ratified in time, may be seen in the fact that there are approximately 28,000,000 women of voting age in the United States. Of the 28,000,000 women of voting age, approximately 17,000,000 already are eligible to vote for President in 1920. But only 7,000,000 will be able to vote for Congressional candidates if the amendment is not ratified. While the people of this country are being fed on propaganda by alien and predatory interests about the necessity of providing the credit whereby the rest of the world may buy more of American products, the Treasury statistics show that during 1919 we sold abroad, in round numbers, eight billion dollars worth of merchandise of all kinds, as against less than six billion dollars worth during 1918, the last year of the war. During 1919 we also enormously increased our imports. But our exports of 1919 drained the United States of raw materials and foodstuffs, thus heightening the prices to American consumers to such an extent that the increase in cost of living to the people of the United States was probably equal to the total volume of our exports. Our imports, on the other hand, consisted largely of articles of manufacture, displacing that much of the American output in the home market. To still further increase the shipping out of foodstuffs and raw materials, thus increasing still more the cost of living in the United States, and also still further increase the imports of foreign manufactured products, thus displacing the product of industry in the United States, is the plan of certain powerful interests in the United States for the Family Washing SAVE your wife the drudgery of the washtub by sending us your family washing.
