JAPS TAKING STEPS TO HOLD THEIR GROUND Endeavoring to Conciliate Whites by Reforming Their Ways. The Japanese throughout California are losing no time in laying their plans to combat the campaign inaugurated by the California Oriental Exclusion League. According to an account of a recent conference of Japanese farmers held in Sacramento which appeared in the Sacramento Daily News, a Japanese newspaper, many questions concerning the methods to pursue to counteract the anti-Japanese sentiment were discussed. One of the most important questions raised, according to a translation of the article in the News, was "How farming is to be carried on hereafter if the Japanese Exclusion Society's purpose is attained and the leasing privilege, as well as the right of land ownership, is taken away." It was brought out that at present the relations between Japanese farmers and the landlords are for the most part harmonious and the situation is one of friendship and good will. It was decided that each one do h's best to perpetuate this friendliness. To offset the feeling rampant throughout California against working Japanese women in the fields, the following resolution was adopted by the conference: "Labor in the fields by women and children is, of course, very bad in the interests of sanitary reform and education, is directly contrary to the excellent customs of America, and furnish various undesirable materials to the anti-Japanese Hence everyone" The per capita investment throughout the country averaged $1.26. The sales by states and territories in the Twelfth Federal Reserve District, which has an estimated population of approximately seven million, were as follows: Oregon ... $1,865,683.38 Nevada ... 186,401.65 Washington ... 2,658,350.73 Utah ... 667,824.14 Idaho ... 664,826.62 Arizona ... 334,709.30 California ... 3,556,464.49 Alaska ... 124,447.00 Hawaii ... 231,486.29 FIELD DEPUTIES ARE APPOINTED BY SLEEPER County Assessor Selects His Aids for the Year. Announcement of the names of the field deputies who will make the assessments upon which next year's taxes will be based, was made Thursday by County Assessor James Sleeper. The deputies began their duties Monday morning, and the assessments will be made on property as of 12 o'clock noon, of that day. Assessor Sleeper estimates that it will require his deputies four months to complete the work. The men will begin with assessing moveable property, such as goods and materials stored in warehouses. "It would be a great help if people were to anticipate visits of my deputies, and be prepared with figures, rather than, as has sometimes happened, ask deputies to return a second and even a third time," said Sleeper.

Hence everyone should give attention to it and endeavor to abolish it altogether. When unavoidable circumstances make it necessary for women to work the utmost effort should be made to give attention to clothing, hours, etc., in order to avoid bad effects of labor." PEOPLE STILL BUYING WAR SAVINGS STAMPS Thousands Laying Up Money for Use on Rainy Day. Uncle Sam sold $134,230,697.84 worth of Thrift Stamps, War Savings Stamps and Treasury Savings Certificates during 1919, according to a report of the Savings Division of the Treasury Department. Probably twice as much was lost by less cautious investors in fake oil stocks and similar worthless paper. This investment of $134,000,000, particularly by persons of small means throughout the United States, was made in the face of a wave of high prices and extravagance, the like of which we have not seen since Civil War days. Economists and financial experts consider the figures of the sale of these humble government securities as a hopeful sign indicative that the country is slowly but surely adopting the only means out of our present industrial and financial difficulties—rigid economy, regular saving and investment by every one, wage earner to millionaire. Treasury Department officials are confident that the 1920 returns on the government's thrift activities will show a substantial increase. Renewed systematic efforts are being made to push the sale of the securities through banks, post offices, schools, and or- will require his deputies four months to complete the work.

"It would be a great help if people were to anticipate visits of my deputies, and be prepared with figures, rather than, as has sometimes happened, ask deputies to return a second and even a third time," said Sleeper. The names of those who will make the assessments are as follows, the names of the towns and cities in which they will work being indicated in each case: Anaheim, J. J. Omelia; Fullerton, P. C. Woodward; Garden Grove, R. E. Geren; Huntington Beach, C. W. Warner; Laguna, E. E. Jahraus; Olinda, Chas. Robb; Orange, J. R. Fletcher; San Juan Capistrano, Henry Vander Leck; Santa Ana, E. F. Waite; Tustin, C. O. Artz; Westminster, W. H. Bentley; La Habra, J. G. Sargent. SUPERVISORS' PROCEEDINGS The application of Wm. Trapp, Jr., to lay a pipe line under road at East end of Santa Ana street, and Placentia avenue, East Anaheim, was granted. The application of F. C. Thompson to lay a ten inch pipe across Sixth street, Garden Grove, was granted. The contract of the California Portland Cement Company, as per bid of February 16th, 1920, was accepted and it was ordered that the chairman be authorized to sign contract. Map of Tract No. 106 was accepted as an official plotting of said tract. The application of Fred H. Bixby, for making a canal from the Anaheim road north through the center line of Section 34 for one quarter of a mile, and from that point going east to a point in the center of the east line of the southeast quarter of Section 34, was granted.

Renewed systematic efforts are being made to push the sale of the securities through banks, post offices, schools, and organizations of all kinds. Following the advice of Governor Harding of the Federal Reserve Board, the gospel of "Work and Save" is being preached continually, and the War Savings securities offered for sale as a ready vehicle for the safe investment of saved earnings with Uncle Sam at four per cent interest compounded every three months. A definite effort is also bleng made to get into the households of the country with a family budget system to promote savings. The Twelfth Federal Reserve District, which embraces the states of Oregon, Nevada, Washington, Utah, Idaho, California and part of Arizona, including too, the territories of Alaska and Hawaii, invested $10,290,183.60 in the lowly Thrift Stamp, the War Savings Stamp and the Treasury Savings Certificate, which latter comes in denominations of $100 and $1000. Oregon, with an investment of $1,865,-683.38, was fifth among the states of the Union in the per capita sales of the government's securities. Nevada was tenth. Ohio, with a per capita investment of $3.42 and total sales of $18,379,328.-92, was first. The District of Columbia was second and Rhode Island third. The application of Fred H.

West Virginia has already become noted for the various fearful and wonderful substitutes for booze that have been brewed by its thirsty citizens since prohibition took effect. The "Old Hen" originated in that state, and now some genius has discovered that a drink with a kick like a mule can be extracted from parsnips. A dispatch from Princeton in that state says: "It is no longer possible to purchase parsnips at grocery stores and vegetable stands in this city, despite the fact that more of them are raised hereabouts than in any other given part of the United States. With the largest crop in history last year, parsnips cannot be bought here for love or United States currency, at the present time. "The reason has been found in the cellars of the anti-Prohibits who reside in this city. Wine of an unusual quality with a kick that has "red liquor" beaten a mile has been made from the hundreds of thousands of parsnips that were bought up as fast as they appeared in the local market last summer and fall. "Thousands of gallons of the 1919 vintage now repose in the cellars of Princeton's best families, as well as those of the middle and lower classes. That the wine will do all asked that reason it is better to bud high, six or eight inches above the ground. If trees are budded low keep the soil away from the union. If the attack is bad trees may be killed rather quickly. The soil should be pulled away, the dead bark cut away and the trunk and upper roots painted with Bordeaux paste. "This trouble is caused by an unknown agency. It is thought to be bacterial, but we are not sure. It does not kill the bark, at least not until in the last stages. It is not easy to detect and often is unsuspected until trees show signs of malnutrition. "It attacks orange and pomelo, but is not so bad in the latter and the Valencia is slightly more susceptible than the navel. The first stage shows but droplets of gum and the area affected is no larger than one's hand. At this stage we can cure all cases, but as the disease progresses steadily, we should get at it as early as possible. But the progress is usually very slow and a close annual inspection should be made of every orchard to determine its freedom or infection. "The second stage is considered as that where the affected area ranges larger than one's hand and the effects are plainly visible on the exterior of the tree. In this stage we can control two-thirds of the cases or so prolong the life of the tree that several good crops will result. For any organism so attacked makes a supreme effort to reproduce itself, and the orange is no exception to the rule, even though it be a seedless orange. But prolonging the life of the tree, even though it later succumbs, will well repay the effort. In the third stage, where the tree is nonreproductive, it will die."

Watson of the Crown stage preparing to start a thirty-minute bus schedule between Santa Ana and Los Angeles on the first of March and the White Bus Line endeavoring to secure a location in Santa Ana for operating between the two cities, traveling to Los Angeles will soon have a service to the Angel City that will be right up to the minute. Watson has purchased the Valley Line franchise from Los Angeles to Anaheim, which gives him a through connection and which will eliminate the present unsatisfactory feature of transfer at Anaheim. Watson is having fifteen new stages built for his line. He is using the Reo chassis and Dale is building the bodies. They will be twenty-passenger busses and with the equipment he already has Watson will be in position to render the fine service he has outlined. The White Bus Line recently took over the A. R. G. franchise between Los Angeles and San Diego, which gives it access to Santa Ana, according to the statement of W. H. Powell, manager of the White Line. O. G. Fuller, owner, and Powell, have been in Santa Ana at different times within the past two weeks endeaforing to find a location for a depot. As yet they have found nothing that meets with their requirements, according to Powell. The company wants a building where it can establish its headquarters at once and does not want the tree. In this stage we can control two-thirds of the cases or so prolong the life of the tree that several good crops will result. For any organism so attacked makes a supreme effort to reproduce itself, and the orange is no exception to the rule, even though it be a seedless orange. But prolonging the life of the tree, even though it later succumbs, will well repay the effort. In the third stage, where the tree is manifestly decadent, it is of little use to do anything, as it is past help. A few trees go quickly, in three years; others last for ten years." "The treatment is nothing more or less than good tree surgery, as with diseases caused by fungi. Cut out all diseased tissue, keeping all tools disinfected that are used on affected parts. Then paint all diseased parts with Bordeaux paste. This is the cheapest and most durable material and should be renewed once a year. In the second stage we do not cut away the bark as in the first stage as the bark is not killed and we do not wish to destroy so large an area. So we merely scrape the bark down to the "quick" and give it what we call the Fawcett treatment. I use a five per cent carbolic acid solution and find it best. Trees so treated years ago by Dr. Fawcett have been restored to their former vigor. Carbolinium and creolinium are also used but are less effective as the carbolic acid content is variable, but creolinium is better than in former years. There are also various mixtures on the market, prepared by paint and oil companies, some of which are very good. Then treat with a Bordeaux paste. In some sections scaly bark is increasing in virulence, attacking the youngest trees and killing them quickly. Old lemons shed their bark in a suspicious manner and while there is no danger it is best to clean off the roughness and spray with Bordeaux, for other diseases or insects may be encouraged or harbored." Mr. Hodgson and Assistant Adviser Blanchard then treated an affected tree to show how the work should be done and what tools have proved most effective and convenient.

SCALY BARK DEMONSTRATIONS The Los Angeles County Farm Bureau, in common with other county bureaus in citrus growing districts, is at this time of the year holding orchard meetings to demonstrate the best procedure in the treatment of scaly bark on the orange. This is a disease not confined to any district or districts, but somewhat prevalent wherever heavy soil is found and to a lesser extent is due to other causes. Farm Adviser Hodgson, speaking at Monrovia recently, called attention to the differences between the gum disease, or gummosis and scaly bark. "We know more about the gum disease and its presence is more easily detected, for the tree attacked exudes large quantities of gum and the disease acts to kill the bark. The brown rot gummosis is very bad on lemons in some districts and worst on heavy soils, but some stocks are more susceptible than others, the sour stock of the orange being most resistant. The most common point of attack is at the union if it be at surface of soil. For manner and while there is no danger it is best to clean off the roughness and spray with Bordeaux, for other diseases or insects may be encouraged or harbored." Mr. Hodgson and Assistant Adviser Blanchard then treated an affected tree to show how the work should be done and what tools have proved most effective and convenient. The assemblage was then invited to another part of the orchard to view a lemon tree badly affected with Armillaria mellea, the oak root fungus, and hear a short talk on same. The audience was one more than ordinarily interested and inquiry developed that all were members of the farm bureau. In the few months before the actual campaign for the presidency of the United States, it is always an entertaining study to compare the phrases of the various gentlemen who declare that they are not candidates. A man may even refuse to allow his name to go on the primary ballot of a western state, and yet not succeed in using language that would seem, to every impartial observer, absolutely final and irrevocable. Perhaps such language has never yet been invented. And possibly it is just as well if it has not, for no man can say positively that he will not do something six months from now. If, therefore, he has to evolve language for the present declination, he is entitled to do so without any particular prejudice.
