REPUBLICANS LEAD IN THE REGISTRATIONS Outnumber the Democrats Three to One in the County According to figures given out by County Clerk J. M. Backs, total registration in Orange County to date is 14,539, which is more than two-thirds of the total registration of the county in 1918 when the county election was held. Heavy registration at this time is attributed by Backs to the fact that every city of the sixth class in Orange County, which includes every incorporated city except Santa Ana, will hold municipal elections next month. Registration for these elections closed at midnight last Friday. The figures given out by Backs also show that persons registered as Republicans outnumber those credited to all other parties by 3751. The total Republican registration is 9145, while the total for all other parties is 5394. Republicans outnumber Democrats almost three to one, the Democratic registration being 3202. The balance of the registration is Prohibitionists 658, Socialists 147, decline to state 1275, Progressives 16, Independent 84 and non-partisan 12. Backs and his force of deputies are now busy preparing the supplements to the Great Register which will be used by election officials in the coming elections to check the voters. No figures are obtainable at this time on the total number of persons registered in the various cities where elections are to be held, but it is said that registration has been heavier in these districts than elsewhere. Deputies Earl Abbey and Kenneth Morrison are visiting registrars in cities of the sixth class checking over QUAYLE SPEAKS AT ORANGE ON IMPORTANT SUBJECT West Orange and Villa Park Centers Arrange for the Meeting Citrus insect pests and how to fight them are to be discussed in an illustrated lecture to be given at Orange Union High School auditorium on Tuesday evening, March 30, at 7:30 o'clock. The speaker will be Prof. Quayle of the citrus experiment station at Riverside, one of the best known citrus scientists in the country. Prof. Quayle has photographs showing citrus scales and other insect pests in their various stages. These will be thrown on the screen. Prof. Quayle will explain the best methods and seasons of combat. Earl Morris, county horticultural commissioner, will discuss the subject of "Daylight Fumigation" and its status in Orange county. Considerable experimentation has been done in daylight work. Some interesting conclusions will be brought out that night. The meeting will be held under the auspices of the West Orange and Villa Park farm centers. The auditorium of the Orange Union High School has been obtained to accommodate the large attendance expected. Dr. J. L. Stephenson, secretary of the West Orange farm center, and W. W. Perry, director of the Villa Park farm center, will give reports of the county director's meeting. All citrus growers of the county are invited to this program featuring insect control.

The directors an attendance of not people. One of the speakers now busy preparing the supplements to the Great Register which will be used by election officials in the coming elections to check the voters. No figures are obtainable at this time on the total number of persons registered in the various cities where elections are to be held, but it is said that registration has been heavier in these districts than elsewhere. Deputies Earl Abbey and Kenneth Morrison are visiting registrars in cities of the sixth class, checking over the registration books and making necessary corrections. Until this task is completed it will be impossible to secure an accurate count as to the number registered in these cities. Although registration has closed for the coming municipal elections, deputies are still registering voters for later elections such as the May primary at which delegates will be chosen to the national conventions; the August primary at which will be selected candidates for U. S. Senator, Congress, members of the state senate and assembly, a presiding justice and two associate justices for the district court of appeals and judges for both departments of the Superior Court of Orange County. The first and third supervisorial districts of Orange County will also name candidates for places on the board at the May primary. Registration for the May primary closes on April 3. BUREAU IS TESTING VALUE OF AVOCADO The bureau of chemistry, United States department of agriculture, has under observation at different stations in Southern California crops of avocados, some of which are picked once a month and taken to the laboratory. A general analysis is then made to determine the composition, and the variation of composition from green fruit to mature fruit will be known at the end of these tests. Growers will then know definitely at what date and stage of development to pick these fruits to get them at their best food value. Seven varieties have been under observation during the past season, one "official" tree of each which none other than the chemical staff are allowed to touch. These trees and their locations are: Fuerte and Taft, at Yorba Linda; Dickinson, at San Diego; Blakeman, at Attica. Dr. J. L. Stephenson, secretary of the West Orange farm center, and W. W. Perry, director of the Villa Park farm center, will give reports of the county director's meeting. All citrus growers of the county are invited to this program featuring insect control. THE PROPER COURSE Information of Priceless Value to Every Anaheim Citizen How to act in an emergency is knowledge of inestimable worth, and this is particularly true of the diseases and ill of the human body. If you suffer with kidney backache, urinary disorders, or any form of kidney trouble, the advice contained in the following statement should add a valuable asset to your store of knowledge. What could be more convincing proof of the efficiency of Doan's Kidney Pills than the statement of an Anaheim citizen who used them and who publicly tells of the benefit derived? Mrs. H. L. Burns, 610 S. Helena St., says: "I suffered a lot with kidney and bladder trouble. I became run down and had a lame and aching back that kept me miserable. Inflammation of the bladder caused me to suffer severely and my kidneys acted irregularly. I read of Doan's Kidney Pills and used them as directed. Doan's helped me wonderfully, removing the backache and relieving all signs of kidney trouble." Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan's Kidney Pills—the same that Mrs. Burns had. Foster-Milburn Co., Mfrs., Buffalo, N. Y. AROUND THE WORLD Nothin could better illustrate the way that agricultural pests, once started, travel around the world than a recent notice by the director of agriculture of the Samoan islands to the following effect: "Notice. The public are hereby notified that the importation in Western Samoa from Tonga of the noxious 'Johnson grass' is prohibited. By order of H. P. Ritchie, director of agriculture." Older residents of Fresno concty remember how the Johnson grass was originally imported by Prof. W. A. Sanders as a forage grass of phenome attendance expected.

These trees and their locations are: Fuerte and Taft, at Yorba Linda; Dickinson, at San Diego; Blakeman, at Altadena; Puebla, at San Fernando; Spinks, at Duarte; Lyon, at Whittier. Another season it is hoped to include the Sharpless, completing the eight varieties first recommended by the Avocado association. All are tented at the citrus by-products laboratory at Los Angeles. REALTY DEALS M. Eltiste of Orange has invested $72,500 in a twenty-nine acre ranch on North Batavia, following the sale of a twenty acre ranch southeast of Anaheim for $50,000, the deals being handled by Guy G. Richards of the Orange Realty company. The twenty-nine acres was bought from Louis G. Seely and is mostly planted to valencia oranges. Sale of the twenty acres southeast of Anaheim was made to Beeh, Mangold and Wieck. Richards also reports the sale by J. W. Morrison of Orange to R. Wolleman of Anaheim of thirteen acres of valencias west of the river for $30,000. There are other good improvements on the place. The city council at Corona will pass the much-discussed cow ordinance soon regulating the keeping of cows within the city limits—if the members are not cowed before it comes to a vote. FERTILIZER BRINGS ADDED INCOME TO FRUIT GROWERS The cost of producing a crop aside from cost of fertilization is approximately the same whether it is large or small. Therefore, the increased earnings from a good crop of first-class quality under present and prospective price conditions would offset the cost of the fertilization several times, helping besides to maintain the fertility of the soil and prolong the life of the vines and trees. A well-fed tree is naturally stronger, more resistant to adverse conditions and in a state of much greater efficiency, able to produce a good quality and a more abundant crop.

FINE SPEAKERS ARE SECURED FOR BUREAU PICNIC DAY Directors Are Expecting No Less Than 5,000 People To Attend Four speakers have been selected to take part in the program at the Orange County Farm Bureau picnic at Orange County Park on May Day. The annual picnic of the farmers is going to be an event of greater consequence than ever before. The directors are expecting an attendance of not less than 5000 people. One of the speakers is B. H. Crochman. man of tremendous energies and intensely practical, yet a man with vision and a dreamer of dreams which are capable of being brought to fulfillment, to the benefit of this nation and of mankind. One of the gigantic, but thoroughly practicable projects—so engineering experts say—which Mr. Lane, before leaving President Wilson's cabinet, pushed energetically was that which embodies a plan for controlling and utilizing the waters of the Colorado river, by daming that stream scientifically, pu in the narrow gorges of the Grand Canyon. This scheme once for all would put an end to disastrous floods along the lower Colorado and in this alone would be worth untold millions to the southwest. But the impoundment of waters in the Colorado and its tributaries offers the most alluring possibilities. Some 1,500,000 acres now arid, thus could be reclaimed. Colorado river valley land is equal to the best on earth in fertility and productivity. The rich mineral compositions which the Colorado has deposited along its course, in the silt of countless overflows, makes the soil that region of a fertility that will last for generations unexhausted by constant cropping, experts say. Mr. Lane forsees this vast region transformed in to one of the most productive districts on the globe. American enterprise, pluck, capital and brains will do it. In order to initiate such a colossal enterprise men of the forceful thought, the vision and the wide influence of Mr. Lane are needed to intensify public interest and to prompt the people to urge congress to start this great work. PSYCHOLOGY IS ADVANCED AT PRINCETON MANY JOP COMPANIES ACQUIRING REAL ESTATE Orientalists Using Dummy Directors with Anglo-Saxon Names Conclusive evidence of the need of additional anti-Asiatic legislation in California, declared Senator J. M. Inman, president of the California Oriental Excusion league, is presented in the number of Japanese land purchasing corporations that are being formed in the state. According to the records in the secretary of state's office 105 Jap land companies have filed articles of incorporation since May 1, 1919, and of that number ninety have been formed since September 229, 1919, the date when Governor Stephens directed the board of control to make an investigation of the Japanese problem in the state. As proof that the Japanese are vigorously prosecuting their campaign to get possession of all land possible before any more anti-alien legislation can be enacted, only twelve corporations were formed between May, 1919, and September 29, the day Governor Stephens called for the Japanese report, while 59 were filed from that date to January 1, 1920. Further proof of the zest characterizing their drive is that from January 1, 1920, to date, two months and a half, 34 Japanese land companies filed articles with the secretary of state. This is three times the number filed between May 1 to September 29, although only half the time lapsed. Inman says it is also significant that only three Japanese corporations, two liquor and one express company, forfeited the right to do business in California by failing to pay the annual corporation franchise tax, which be FOR BUREAU PICNIC DAY Directors Are Expecting No Less Than 5,000 People To Attend Four speakers have been selected to take part in the program at the Orange County Farm Bureau picnic at Orange County Park on May Day. The annual picnic of the farmers is going to be an event of greater consequence than ever before. The directors are expecting an attendance of not less than 5000 people. One of the speakers is B. H. Crocheron, state leader of farm advisors. Another is Dr. Frank M. Dowling of Placentia, now an orchardist, for many years a minister and one of the wittiest speakers in the country. Prof. H. E. Van Norman, dean of the University Farm School, a well known farm instructor, and leader in farming affairs, is to be present. Sam Greene, manager of the California Dairy Council, is to be a speaker at the picnic. Splendid music by the fifty-piece Santa Ana High School Band will be rendered before and after the speaking. C. A. Gustin, the leader, is arranging some special musical treats for the day. The "stunt committee" is awake nights planning some surprises for the younger people—races, baseball, boat races, etc. BEES DO POLLINIZING Many growers are confident that bees help very much to pollinate prunes. It is quite worthwhile to go to some trouble or expense to put a stand or two of bees to each acre of your orchard. If there are not too many blooming plants near, which the bees prefer to prune blossoms, they will fertilize many blossoms by carrying pollen.—Sunsweet Standard. FEEDING DRY MASH IS CALL FOR CLOSE WATCH It has been urged that one disadvantage of feeding dry mash to the young chickens is the danger of under feeding, caused from allowing the hoppers to become void of meals. Again there will be waste of meals, if proper precautions are not observed. We are always careful to see that a thin, narrow board is nailed to the front of the trough forming a part of the hopper, and projecting inward half an inch or more. No doubt much meal is wasted that might be saved. A little care and observation will rectify every error in making the hopper. If moist mashes translated in to one of the most productive districts on the globe. American enterprise, pluck, capital and brains will do it. In order to initiate such a colossal enterprise men of the forceful thought, the vision and the wide influence of Mr. Lane are needed to intensify public interest and to prompt the people to urge congress to start this great work. PSYCHOLOGY IS ADVANCED AT PRINCETON The University of Princeton has created a new department of psychology, as a result of the increased application of that science to business and commerce. In a statement in connection with the need for such a department, one of the heads of the school says that the greatest impetus toward expansion in psychology has come from practical needs. The movement in the direction of industrial and trades tests has grown to such proportions that many professional psychologists have gone over into industrial psychology. A number of courses now appearing in university catalogues look strange to those who have not kept in touch with recent developments. The laboratories of psychologists are discovering individual differences and types of human nature and adaptability. A further development of this tendency appeared during the war. The methods and their results obtained in the laboratories were used in the army and navy, both in testing for normal intelligence and for marksmanship, aviation and other branches. These tests include experiments in which perception of the time required in reading numbers, letters and combinations of letters and numbers were determined. Such findings are proved to have a practical value and application in arranging numbers on automobile tags, checks and signals, and in similar useful ways. In all the larger universities there are courses in psychology, but Princeton is probably the first to erect a fully equipped department devoted exclusively to that study.

This was the decision entered in Los Angeles by Judge Valentine. He holds that near-by trees can be declared a nuisance and, the owner made to abate the nuisance. In the case before Judge Valentine the blue gum was the offender. Roots from the blue gums reached forty feet on to a neighbor's lot and made the land unproductive. The judge stated that under the law the owner of the trees could be made to cut off the roots extending into the neighbor's soil, and also he could be made to cut off branches that hang over and shade the neighbor's land.

Copeeland of Huntington Beach, president of the Orange County Fair Executive Committee, asked the farm bureau directors for their cooperation in making the 1920 fair the biggest and best of its kind ever held in the county there was not one dissenting voice. The directors were unanimous in their support of the plan and voted to have a committee appointed in each of the thirteen farm centers in the county to plan and prepare exhibits for the agricultural tent at the fall fair. It is proposed to have a large tent, larger than any used last year, for agricultural products only. Every farm center will have a booth in this tent and other communities in which there is yet no farm center will be represented. Each farm bureau director present pledged himself to put the matter before his center and see that a live committee is appointed to plan the growing, preparation and assembling of exhibits. The board suggested to Copeland that it would be advisable to have a paid manager to take charge of the final assembling and erection of booths and exhibits at the tent.
