SCENIC BEAUTIES SHOULD NOT BE LOST ARTIST ADVOCATES PRESERVATION OF ORANGE COUNTY'S ATTRACTIVE COAST LINE Nothing Like it in the World, Declar'd a New York Man in a Speech Before the Associated Chambers—Enthusia's Over Laguna Declaring that the Orange county coast is the prettiest he has ever seen in his travels, and judging from what other artists at Laguna had told him in comparing the coast with others that they have visited, believing it to be the best in the world. C. H. Faille (pronounced Fy) at the annual meeting of the Associated Chambers of Commerce made an earnest appeal to the organization and residents of Orange county to take up a movement that would result in its preservation for the generations that are to come. Faille is an artist of Brooklyn.-N. Y., and is on the coast as the representative of Dr. Harnaday of New York, in a movement in preservation of fish and game. He has been engaged in many campaigns for the preservation of public parks and natural scenery grounds and has traveled extensively in this work and in his own interest in painting. LIME AS FEITILIZER No soil is complete without a fair percentage o favillaable lime, and it is almost impossible for any soil deyoted to intense culture to contain too much. To keep a soil sweet and in proper condition to produce leguminous and other crops to the fullest advantage, lime should be used in quantities of from half a ton to five tons per acre, and such applications would very often mean the difference between success and failure. It is not intended to suggest that lime only is required, but it is certainly one of the first treatments any soil should receive, where such soil is known to be wanting in this particular element. The effects of liming are many and various, and are not as fully realized as should be the case. Liming neutralizes acid in the soil and makes it more alkaline, reducing the amount of sorrel and greatly increasing the growth of peas, beans, lucern, and all other crops. It causes nitrification to a greater extent, thus providing more nitrogen—one of the most necessary plant foods—for the crop's benefit. In addition, liming set free the otherwise locked up potash in the soil and so allows the crop the use of another important plant food that might without liming be unused. Applications of lime kill the larvae of insects and so save much loss to market gardeners in time and material. Soil temperatures are raised where lime is applied, and quicker growth naturally flows. The quality of both green feed and vegetables is better where there is sufficient lime available, and provided fertilizers are used in proper quantities, the soil will go on producing for a longer period. The mechanical effect of lime is also valuable, as it renders a clay soil more that would result in its preservation for the generations that are to come.

He has been engaged in many campaigns for the preservation of public parks and natural scenery grounds and has traveled extensively in this work and in his own interest in painting. "When I read in the New York Times and other similar publications of Laguna Beach and the Orange county coast line, I decided that some time I would visit this coast, for I realized that for any section to get space in this paper it must have merit. I came to Laguna to make an inspection for myself, and I was amazed at the beauties of the coast. In all my travels over the United States, Canada and Mexico, I never have seen anything that equals it. "There are such rich colors and such magnificent compositions that are so simple, yet so grand. I don't believe you people here realize what you have on your coast. There is nothing like it in the world—it is something to be proud of. When I go along the coast picture after picture is presented to my mind. "I see cliffs burning with heat, covered with minerals that produce the richest hues. These with the deep blue of the ocean water, monster waves dashing against the rocks and bluffs, rifts in the clouds—these are brilliant scenes for the artist, brilliant pictures for the men and women who engage in painting. They are enough to make men stop and think. "When I first looked upon Santa Ana, I found a thriving community, with evidence of rustlers and pushers. In the beauties of the community I see commercialism. You have worked wonders, yet I am afraid you are allowing your commercialism to get the best of you. You want to think of something besides dollars. It behooves you to vlace something here that future generations may enjoy. "Preservation of your coast line as a park would be a wonderful stroke of enterprise. It is too wonderful, too fine, to let go to waste. You should make park reservations at least 100 feet from the bluffs. You should not allow buildings of any description to be erected—It should be preserved for the tourists of the world and with save much loss to market gardeners in time and material. Soil temperatures are raised where lime is applied, and quicker growth naturally flows. The quality of both green feed and vegetables is better where there is sufficient lime available, and provided fertilizers are used in proper quantities, the soil will go on producing for a longer period. The mechanical effect of lime is also valuable, as it renders a clay soil more friable by drawing together the smaller particles, so making the land more easily worked; in a sandy soil it has the opposite effect, closing it and making it hold moisture better. Lime in itself has an affinity for moisture, and its presence enables the soil to retain moisture longer and to a greater extent. There are three kinds of lime on the market. One is burnt lime, limestone from which the moisture has been expelled by heat. This form of lime is valuable for swamp lands, especially those containing large amount of undecomposed vegetable matter, which it assists in breaking down, and thus renders such soils usable much earlier than if left to time and nature. Burnt lime is liable to deteriorate, as it absorbs water from the atmosphere, and for these reasons should be obtained fresh from the lime works and applied as soon as possible. It should be ground fine for preference when it can be applied more easily and evenly than in the lump. To apply burnt lime to soils already poor in humus (decaying vegetable matter) is a mistake, as it is liable to burn and destroy this valuable constituent. Ground limestone is the unburned limestone simply ground fine, and though not as powerful as the burned lime, is safer and more easily applied to most soils. In order to obtain the same amount of actual lime per acre, twice the quantity should be applied as compared with burnt lime. It is about half the price, consequently the freight and spreading are the only two disadvantages. It is slower in its action than burned lime, but is much easier to handle and spread. Gypsum, or sulphate of lime, is found in natural deposits in very large quantities, and where easily procurable, pays well for distribution upon the soil. It takes 2.7 or roughly three times, aas much gypsum mto give the same effect as burned lime.

You should make park reservations at least 100 feet from the bluffs. You should not allow buildings of any description to be erected—It should be preserved for the tourists of the world and with proper attention could be made the show place of the world. "The subdivision and selling off of tracts along the bluffs should not be permitted—if you do permit it you allow the spoilation of what in time could be made a valuable asset to the county. You have something that no other beach has—leave it alone." The building of shacks along the bluffs he deemed a violation of the beauty of the coast line. The erection of residences anywhere along the bluffs that will result in the elimination of parking grounds and shutting off the view of the ocean to tourists passing along the coast boulevard to be constructed, he considered would be a crime against the people of the world—people who came to California to admire the scenes and enjoy the climate. He urged support of the art gallery at Laguna Beach and declared that Orange county was getting valuable advertising through the operation of artists there who make pictures from scenes along the coast and who send these to all part of the world. Buyers of these pictures naturally want to see the original and they come to Orange county to see them. Anaheim Gazette, per year, $1.50, payable in advance. ORIENTAL BEANS HURT CALIFORNIA INDUSTRY Growers of the State Are Demanding a Tariff Duty of Four Cents One of California's most important industries, bean growing, is being menaced by the constantly increasing importation of Oriental beans. Should they continue to arrive in the same volume as during the past three years, and no relief is given by congress in the way of an adequate tariff, it may mean the practical annihilation of one of the largest and most important agricultural industries in California. The situation is becoming very acute, and, according to those who have made a study of the question, unless a tariff of at least four cents a pound is passed, we will see the passing of an industry which will mean the loss of millions of dollars annually, in addition to the abandonment of thousands of acres of land to less productive and less valuable crops. The organized bean growers of California have presented to congress an application for a tariff upon foreign grown beans of four cents a pound. At the present time it is 25 cents a bushel. The committee, which went to Washington last October, offered about half the price, consequently the freight and spreading are the only two disadvantages. It is slower in its action than burned lime, but is much easier to handle and spread. Gypsum, or sulphate of lime, is found in natural deposits in very large quantities, and where easily procurable, pays well for distribution upon the soil.

Both are pianists, readers and impersonators, in addition to being splendid singers, saxophone and 'cello soloists. With this unusual combination of talents they are enabled to present two programs which for excellence and variety surpass that given by most companies of four or six people. Well indeed may the Parnells be called "the biggest two-people company in the country." In support of its request the following THE ALMOND AS A SUB-FACTS: During the past four years the cost chopped to suit. Served with plum pudding. This is delicious. Almond Cream Pie—Make crust as for apple pie and use this filling: ¼ pound almond paste, 3 ounces sweet butter, 2 egg yolks. some flavoring (Maraschino). Cream almond paste with butter, add yolks and flavoring, beat until smooth. Prune Pudding—One cup chopped prunes (previously cooked and stoned), one cup chopped almonds, 3 egg whites beaten stiff, one scant cup sugar. Bake half an hour in moderate oven. (Any left-over cooked dried fruit can be used in this.) LAGUNA COLONIES Laguna has long been famous for the artists who congregate there to paint the beautiful rocky Orange county shore line and the ever changing colors in the sea. Many noted authors come to write here, drawn by the beauty and quietness. For the last number of years several well known baseball players have wintered in Laguna, among them being "Gavvy" Cravath and Ernie Johnson, and now has started Knox Ross, St. Haley, D.C.R.M.

With this unusual combination of talents they are enabled to present two programs which for excellence and variety surpass that given by most companies of four or six people. Well indeed may the Parnells be called "the biggest two-people company in the country." In support of its request the following facts: During the past four years the cost of production of beans has more than doubled, and in California is in excess of 6½ cents a pound, while in the Orient the average cost does not exceed two cent a pound. The average normal production of beans in the United States is approximately 10,000,000 bushels, while that of the Orient is about 200,000,000 bushels. The field laborer of Asia receives less than 40 cents a day against $4 a day in this country. It is stated that the Orient produces a close imitation of nearly every variety of bean grown in this country, the Kotenashi bean being identical with the small white, which constitutes 42 per cent of this country's production. The Kotenashi bean was sold in San Francisco in 1919 as low as 3½ cents a pound, or about one-half the cost of production of beans in the United States, and is now quoted in every market at from ¼ to ½ cents a pound below our domestic product. During 1919 more than 2,000,000 bags of beans were imported from the Orient, and the receipts between July, 1918, and July, 1919, were 20,000,000 pounds a month. The Orient has productive resources sufficient to supply every demand of the American bean market. As a result of this competition with cheap Oriental beans a large proportion of the 1918 crop of this state has found no market, even at prices below the cost of production. This has worked a financial hardship on thousands of growers in this and other states, in some instances bringing about bankruptcy. Beans are the only important food product which have no ready market and must be carried throughout the season until the consumer is ready for them, and is also the only important food product which has been sold at prices materially lower than that of the previous two years, and the only one that has been sold below the cost... Beans are the only important food product which have no ready market and must be carried throughout the season until the consumer is ready for them, and is also the only important food product which has been sold at prices materially lower than that of the previous two years, and the only one that has been sold below the cost of production. There are many reasons why California, as well as other bean-producing states should have this protection. California has grown nearly one-half of the beans produced in the United States; the crop has been second in value to only one other agricultural product in the state and has brought to the state as high as $50,000,000 of new wealth in one year. In many of our counties it is the most important crop and thousands of acres of the richest lands are unsuited to other crops. The bean is the greatest aid in adding fertility to the soil and improves the land for other uses. There is no question but that the loss of the bean industry through the importation of those from the Orient would cause great loss and harm to banks, merchants and business men generally and its effect would be felt in every channel of trade. The industry can be saved only through a protective tariff sufficient to cover the difference of the cost of production in America and Asia. Those who are interested in the general welfare of the state and its industries should use every means to acquaint their representatives in Washington of the importance of the subject and bring every effort to bear in demanding the passage of an adequate tariff. It is only recently that the wonderful possibilities of the almond have been recognized by the public and with the world for a market the orchardists of California, where it is cultivated most extensively, and reaches its highest state of perfection, are profiting accordingly. As an indication of the growth of the almond industry in California, last year's crop yielded twice the quantity harvested in 1918. Children love almonds and they should be educated to understand the high food value of this choice of all foods. To assist the women's activities campaign the following receipts are given, showing a few of the various ways almonds may be used: Golden Salad—Six whole canned peaches, 1 cup blanched almonds, ½ cup mayonnaise dressing. Stick almonds in peaches (point down). Place on crisp hearts of lettuce and serve with mayonnaise. Almond Custard Sauce—Make a custard sauce of two teaspoons corn starch, 2 egg yolks, or 1 whole egg, 1 pint milk and ¼ cup sugar. Cook in double boiler till it begins to thicken, take off, add almond flavoring or two bitter almond kernels and add almonds and now a colony of automobile people has started. Knox & Stout, Ford agents, Fred Ross, Studebaker distributor, and A. O. Haley, Dodge dealer, of Santa Ana, and C. R. May, who handles the Buick in Claremont, all have cottages in Laguna, where they spend the summers, and many weekends during the winter. The newly organized Laguna Del Rey Auto Film company, which will soon start production, will be instrumental in bringing many screen celebrities here to reside more or less permanently, and a movie colony here will then take its place along with the artists, writers, baseball players' and auto men's informal organizations. Groups of farmers in the Hemet-San Jacinto valley are organizing them selves into mutual water companies to sink wells to supply their land with water this summer. This is a wonderful year for wild flowers. All desert sections report such a carpet of bloom as comes only in exceptional years. Imperial valley shipped out during the month of February, 1,127 carloads of produce, Brawley heading the list with 262 cars of lettuce and other truck crops making a total of 267 carloads. The new West Side packing house at Anaheim, Orange county, expects to begin on Valencias, April 12. Orange county hopes to have the mid summer meeting of the citrus institute organized at San Bernardino. Irrigators of Pomona valley have so thoroughly brought the storm waters from San Antonio canyon under control that not a drop has wasted to the ocean. The waters have been spread over a thousand acres of gravel and boulders at the upper edge of the valley. Anaheim Gazette per year, $1.50, payable in advance.
