IN THE OIL FIELD (From Brea Progress) The last week in January was a big one for the organization and entrance of new companies into the oil fields of Southern California. Five new concerns are now in the organization stage and plan to commence development work as soon as rigs can be erected and equipment put on the ground. The organization of so many new concerns and the planning of much additional development work makes the oil business look up, in spite of the fact that the present shortage of pipe and materials is getting to be a very serious matter. Oil operators are beginning to consider the advisability of having the government lend assistance in the handling of steel and pipe supplies in such a manner as give the oil industry a priority. The country must have oil to keep the industries going and the wheels of commerce lubricated. The Amalgamated Oil Company's Potter No. 1 sprang a surprise by shooting oil over the crown block immediately after the cement plug had been drilled out. The well had stood cemented at 3175 feet for two weeks. The oil gushed forth with such force and volume as to lead those who saw the demonstration to believe that a 2000-barrel well was in sight. As no preparations for a well had been made at this depth, it was necessary to cap the gusher until tanks and pipe lines are installed to handle the oil. blue shale at 2400. No. 6 is drilling at 1335 feet in the conglomerate. No. 8 shows 1230 feet of hole made in the conglomerate, and Nos. 7 and 10 are new locations. Still hopeful that a string of 10-inch pipe may be secured somewhere, the Richfield-Yorba is doing a little sparring with time. The well, now 2375 feet deep, is being under-reamed and put into condition for the casing as soon as it arrives. SULPHUR IN SOIL The Farm Advisor desires to see several sulphur demonstrations started in the county. He will give directions for applying and amounts to use to all farmers who desire to cooperate with him in determining the value of its use on Orange county soils. There is no doubt that it will produce heavier yields in local alfalfa fields, as is reported for similar experiments in Northern California and Oregon. Alfalfa has increased 100 per cent in yield from the use of sulphur in Southern and Central Oregon. Prof. Nelson said last week that in Humbolt county the farmers broadcasted 150 pounds of sulphur per acre and some lime on their more acid soils, which resulted in a 100 per cent increase in yield. "The same may be expected on soils here, possibly not so great a difference but enough to make the application worth while," said Wahlberg. "I would like to see ten or twelve plots tried out on our various soils for improving our cover crop stands. I believe sulphur would bear the some TWO BILLION UR Republican Senate Show How Rising.

The well had stood cemented at 3175 feet for two weeks. The oil gushed forth with such force and volume as to lead those who saw the demonstration to believe that a 2000-barrel well was in sight. As no preparations for a well had been made at this depth, it was necessary to cap the gusher until tanks and pipe lines are installed to handle the oil. After fishing for a month at Breene No. 1, the Amalgamated has been compelled to sacrifice 500 feet of hole and start drilling by a lot of lost drill pipe. The original depth of the hole was 1750 feet. The redrilling is now at 1250. At Yorba No. 2 the Amalgamated has a rig up. The Clark Oil Company's Hugo Wetzell No. 1 is now drilling at 4100 feet in a sandy brown shale that is not showing any oil. Owing to the discouraging outlook of the well it may be abandoned soon. Should the Clark Oil Company fail to get a well in the Richfield district it is the intention of the company to withdraw from the California field. The Fullerton Oil Company's Travis No. 1 has increased its production from 30 to 40 barrels. The well has been on a pumping test for a couple of weeks following a third cementing for bottom water. The Fullerton Oil Company's No. 1 on the Anaheim Union is making hole at 3140. The formation is a sandy brown shale and has not shown any oil to date. On the Travis property the Fullerton has a rig up for No. 2. The General Peroleum will have the Thompson gusher going again in a short time. The redrilling and cleaning out is at 2965 feet, less than 60 feet off the original bottom. A string of six-inch pipe is being set at this depth. Thompson No. 2 is drilling at better than 2500 feet. No. 3 is making some fast time in the conglomerate, with 1450 feet drilled. The General Petroleum's Stern No. 1 is down 2334 feet in shale and boulders. The Harrington-Dumas Oil Company has rig No. 1 on the Hefner properly COCOANUT MEAL FOR COWS It is safe to feed cows one pound of cocoanut meal for each three or four pounds of milk produced per day, according to results of a period of experimental feeding just completed at the University of California Farm, Davis. It is stated that some dairymen find it advantageous to feed as little as one pound for each six pounds of milk for each cow per day. Cocoanut meal is one of the best concentrates on the market in California, farm authorities declare, and as a rule, relatively low priced. PLAN A STATEWIDE LIVESTOCK ASSOCIATION Professor J. I. Thompson, secretary of the California Swine Breeders Association, has sent out letters to all the state livestock associations requesting that delegates from each association meet at the Palace Hotel, San Francisco, Saturday, February 7, for the purpose of forming an organization of all the different pure bred livestock associations. In the letter calling the meeting Professor Thompson says: "This association is taking the lead in this simply because its board of directors feels that it is time all of the pure bred interests of the state介mediate after the cement plug had been drilled out.

"I would like to see ten or twelve plots tried out on our various soils for improving our cover crop stands. I believe sulphur would bear the some profit to a leguminous cover crop as it does to alfalfa. "An application of 75 pounds might be tried on one piece, 100 pounds on still another, and a check plot left to make comparisons. This is a practical field demonstration."

The General Petroleum's Stern No. 1 is down 2334 feet in shale and boulders. The Harrington-Dumas Oil Company has rig No. 1 on the Heffern property rigged up and ready to start drilling. The rig for No. 2 is about completed. The shortage of pipe may hold up the starting of work by the Harrington-Dumas temporarily. The Petroleum Development Company (Santa Fe) has four wells drilling in the Richfield district, and is making some very good drilling progress. Bradford No. 1 is in blue shale at 2775, No. 2 is down 2050 in hard sand. No. 3 started drilling a week ago and is 800 feet in the conglomerate. At Bradford Community No. 1 the drilling has been resumed at 3514, after a failure to get a water shut-off. Bradford Bros. No. 1 is holding its production at 250 barrels. Bradford Bros. No. 2 is a rig and Bradford 4 andn 5 are new locations. The Petroleum-Midway is keeping up its end of the development work in the Richfield district with five wells drilling and three locations for new wells. Yarnell No. 2 shows 3525 feet of hole in the sandy shale. Yarnell No. 3, after being on a pumping test for a month and failing to come up to expectations at 3260 feet, is to be deepened. Yarnell No. 4 is drilling at 2730 feet in brown shale. No. 5 is in association meet at the Palace Hotel, San Francisco, Saturday, February 7, for the purpose of forming an organization of all the different pure bred livestock associations. In the letter calling the meeting Professor Thompson says: “This association is taking the lead in this simply because its board of directors feels that it is time all of the pure bred interests of the state get together in some kind of an organization. These various associations have accomplished much good but can exert a much greater influence if they can act as a single unit. A number of the organizations that will probably be represented at this meeting are concerned with problems other than pure bred interests and believe that a movement of this kind can best be inaugurated by amalgamating the pure breds first. There are certain laws that are needed for our mutual protection and benefit, and our experience during the meeting of the last legislation in securing a pure feed law would indicate that close co-operation of everyone interested must be secured. Conditions governing the time, place and accommodations and similar details at state and county fairs, and the various livestock shows need attention. California is destined to be the greatest livestock producing district in the entire United States. The time when this will be true will be determined by just how rapidly the various associations concerned get together and accomplish the things that must be done. Let's make a start now and see if we cannot work out something that will be of lasting benefit to the entire livestock industry of the state.” Much of the experience injuries in sending and others to co-op opinion, be saved.

Asserting that with proper economy in expenditures recommended by the Wilson administration at least $2,250,000,000 could be saved the government in one year, Senator Porter J. McCumber, of North Dakota, ranking member of the Senate Finance Committee, is urging upon Congress that this be done. He says: Our experience in operating our railways under government ownership ought to be sufficient to force the elimination of that entire amount. The Shipping Board should be closed as quickly as the government can close it. We can easily save out of this item for independent offices $500,000,000 and still leave a million more than our 1915 appropriation. We next examine the War Department. The appropriations for 1915 were $155,525,000. For 1921, a period that will end nearly three years after the termination of the war, we call for $1,208,901,000, an increase of $1,053,376,000. As this does not include any increase in the salaries of officers, to say the very least we ought to cut this down about $700,000,000. A large part of this estimate is for fortifications, military posts, and so forth, $139,296,000. These should be cut out. They should not be thought of at this time. We have a number of vacant military posts. We have all the bildings and structures erected in this country during the war which are vacant and rotting today and can be BASEBALL The Anaheim Tigers were the big noise in the ball game Sunday when they crossed bats with the fast Stahl-Dean team of Los Angeles, coming under the wire with a one to nothing score. The contest was one of the fastest games ever witnessed outside of professional circles. The game resolved itself into a pitcher's battle, Maple for the local strikeout eleven men. Thomas, a Pittsburgh leaguer, performed for the visitors, and while he had his opponents guessing at times, was a bit wild. There were very few errors and the score boy almost acquired a severe dose of writer's cramps chalking up imitation goose eggs. Up to the ninth inning about the only thrill worthy of mention was Glenn Callan's one-handed stop of Muessel's hot liner down the third base line. The game shifted into the ten inning gear with nothing stirring for the visitors. For the Tigers Salveson sent the pill bounding over into right field for a safe hit. Franklin stepped up, but before getting into action, received an earful of advice from Bus Callan, and evidently taking the hint, bunted prettily, going to first in the high, while Salveson burned up the path over to second. This relieved the high tension and the large crowd of fans started a babble of noises likened to that heard in a Chicago wheat pit. Hood also swatted the ball for a safe one, but Franklin was put out at second. Salveson moved over to third and if... A large part of this estimate is for fortifications, military posts, and so forth, $139,296,000. These should be cut out. They should not be thought of at this time. We have a number of vacant military posts. We have all the bildings and structures erected in this country during the war which are vacant and rotting today and can be used for posts. There is not a country in Europe today that could make war on us, and there will not be one that can conduct a war for 50 years. We next examine the Navy Department. With every nation in Europe practically bankrupt, the necessity of the hour does not demand the vast increase in battleships asked for. We do not need to expend as much as we expended in 1915, because the possibility of another war is far more remote than it was in 1915. In 1915 we expended for our Navy Department $147,294,000; we ask for this coming year $580,674,000; we can easily save right here another $400,000,000. Our present appropriation bill calls for $75,000,000 to be expended in good roads by the government. That ought to be eliminated until we can afford to pay for this luxury. There was appropriated for public works under the War Department last year $54,000,000; this year the estimate is $194,000,000. If we hold to last year's appropriation, we can save $140,000,000 right here. The War Department asks for $10,000,000 for vocational training of soldiers, as against $2,000,000 asked last year. The Vocational Education Bureau asks for $21,000,000 for rehabilitation for soldiers injured during the war. Much of the expense incurred for slight injuries in sending doctors and lawyers and others to college might, in my opinion, be saved. Other minor items that could be dispensed with are: Public buildings ... $10,000,000 Rivers and harbors ... 60,000,000 Public works ... 31,000,000 Torpedo boats ... 23,000,000 Armor for vessels ... 49,000,000 Many fans believe Bus Callan's long headed advice to Franklin at the critical stage of the game really won the day for the Tigers. Before Pendleton came up in the final inning, Billy Knott told him a nice juicy steak awaited him at Joe Stroup's market. If he would knock a safe hit. No wonder Pendleton swung heavily upon the ball. Joe Wagner and Romaine Berger could not resist and had to give vent to their feelings at the windup, and started a game of leap frog. Al Johnson is always in attendance and likes to see a good clean game. He believes Anaheim is on the baseball map to stay. Heinie Shriner and George Esmay, the largest and smallest men, respectively, in Fulleton are regular attendants, and always take on a good measure of the excitement when the malady becomes contagious. Ah, there Heinie, howza boy! Reardon umpired the game in his usually clever manner and won many friends by his impartial decisions which are just about one hundred per cent perfect. There are few as good and none better. When Manager Riley came to the action, received an earful of advice from Bus Callan, and evidently taking the hint, bunted prettily, going to first in the high, while Salveson burned up the path over to second. This relieved the high tension and the large crowd of fans started a babble of noises likened to that heard in a Chicago wheat pit. Hood also swatted the ball for a safe one, but Franklin was put out at second. Salveson moved over to third, and if anything the fans grew wilder. The picking continued good and Pendleton knocked a hot baby to the third baseman, who, during the instance excitement made a beautiful fumble and Salveson beat it in for a tally, which ended the game. Pick-ups and Throws. Many fans believe Bus Callan's long headed advice to Franklin at the critical stage of the game really won the day for the Tigers. There's no use talking the Callan boys are ball players—always in the game—and they never speak unless they want to say something, and it is right. Hillman is just about as good an all around base player as you will meet up with. He's a bear on first and wields the willow in good shape. Finley says his mit resembled a hamburger, owing to Thomas's speedy whips, and he dropped quite a few besides. All pitchers are just humans the same as other people and in a tight ball game there is more or less rivalry between the twirlers, but they never go so far as to kill each other. Much of the expense incurred for slight injuries in sending doctors and lawyers and others to college might, in my opinion, be saved. Other minor items that could be dispensed with are: Public buildings ... $10,000,000 Rivers and harbors ... 60,000,000 Public works ... 31,000,000 Torpedo boats ... 23,000,000 Armor for vessels ... 49,000,000 From the best information I can get we can dispense with about 50,000 clerks in our lepartments, with a saving of $60,000,000. A recapitulation of the most important reductions would show: Treasury Department ... $300,000,000 Independent offices, including Shipping Board ... 500,000,000 War Department ... 700,000,000 Navy Department ... 400,000,000 Reduction in clerical service ... 60,000,000 Total ... $1,960,000,000 Bernard Shaw says Americans are "primitive." Perhaps that accounts for the fact that Shaw's literary output is more popular here than at home. He adds: "Americans used to laugh at me for refusing to visit their country without a safe conduct." What is Shaw afraid of? Does he think some side-show will want to grab him for a bearded lady? A British critic of the American Senate complains that "the country President Wilson represented at the peace conference has failed to back him up." That all depends. What country did he represent? Reardon umpired the game in his usually clever manner and won many friends by his impartial decisions which are just about one hundred percent perfect. There are few as good and none better. When Manager Riley came to the front with his usual cheerful announcement he was extended the glad hand. "Ladies and gentlemen," said Riley, as he held up his hand for a silencing of the grandstand multitude. "How do you like, the quality of ball we are giving you?" When all hands chorused "all right!" and then Riley turned and faced the gang in the free lunch territory, saying, "and how do you gents like it?" when from that quarter came back something like—"Rotten." A wise kid up in the grand stand yelled back, "Oh you bolsheviks!" And Riley was contented to call it a draw. The largest crowd of the series was in attendance, estimated at close to 2000. The ladies are taking to the game nicely, some of them being pronounced fans. There is just one drawback. Riley should give an easier slope to the seats or put in an elevator. Louie Handleman breezed in carrying a package. The boys began placing wagers as to its contents. Some said it was a container, others averred it was his lunch. But when Louie, unfolded a cushion there was a roar. An unsympathetic gent grabbed it and WE ARE SURE GETTING LUCKY Received 4 Carloads of THE NEW STUDEBAKER MOTOR CARS During January.

The New Studebaker Motor Cars Anaheim, California The other day when Thomas came up to bat Maple put a ball so close to his head that he jumped back a pace and in so doing his pins flew from under him and he landed with a thud upon his back. Some thought he was hurt, but Thomas was up in a jiffy and ready to jolt the sphere if Maple would put one over the plate. Of course Maple didn't mean any harm, but when he faced Thomas later on all the kids began calling to him to be ready to duck. Clark, who held down second base, is a new arrival from San Francisco and has been enrolled on the Anaheim team. E. Zitzman and Frank Borth were among those present and felt as though Manager Riley knows how to stage a ball game. Alvin Nowotny can be counted on rain or shine. Caterer Harrison came in late wearing a green hat and a broad smile. Frank Steadman takes in the game whenever he can and likes to see them hit the ball. Sam Taylor was voted to be the high powered Josher and the king of the kidders. Joe Collins was an interested spectator, meanwhile enjoying his two for a quarter cigar. Thomas being a clever southpaw, made base-runners on first hug the sack closely. In his windups you couldn't tell whether he was going to try to catch the runner or heave the horsehide home. The batteries were: For Anaheim—Callan, catcher; Maple, pitcher. For Stahl-Dean—Finley, catcher; Thomas, pitcher.
