WARM WEATHER HITS LIMA BEAN CROP Condition of California's Principal Crops in August The composite condition of all crops of California on August 1 was about 4.3 per cent below their ten-year average condition on that date, as compared with a condition of 4.6 per cent below average on July 1, indicating practically no change in crop prospects during the past month, according to a report by J. E. Richards, federal statistician. Preliminary estimates on acreage planted would indicate that this year's total acreage of cultivated crops is about 4.7 per cent less than last year. The condition of the various crops on August 1, expressed in percentage of their ten-year average (not normal), on August 1, was as follows: Oranges 109.0; peaches 108.5; lemons 106.2; watermelons 103.4; sugar beets 102.2; grain sorghum 100.0; grapes 100.0; onions 98.9; sweet potatoes 98.9; hops 97.8; cabbages 97.7; cantaloupes 97.7; hay 96.6; olives 96.1; rice 96.6; corn 95.5; tomatoes 94.4; potatoes 94.3; pears 93.8; berries 93.4; walnuts 93.0; alfalfa 92.5; prunes 92.5; apples 91.1; pasture 89.2; cotton 86.7; almonds 84.9; beans 73.3; average of all crops 95.7. Cotton was favored by weather conditions during July and some improvement was noted. The only setback appeared to be in the Blythe district, where the late cotton was attacked by aphis, some damage resulting and a few small fields plowed up. The condition on July 25 was 85 per cent of a normal as compared with 100 last year, THOUSANDS ARE FLOCKING TO SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA Railroads Congested with Passengers Bound for This Region Tourists and homeseakers are coming to Southern California in unprecedented numbers, according to records made public by the railway company officers in Los Angeles. The figures show that the influx of people from all portions of the country is much greater than ever before and that an unusually high percentage of them are coming as permanent residents. From the 1st to the 20th inst., the Union Pacific system has hauled 140 carloads of household goods from the east and middle west to California, according to A. T. Jackson, district passenger agent, and indication, he stated, are that the total for the month will reach 200 carloads. The average capacity of every car is furniture for five families, which would mean approximately 1000 new families as permanent residents who have moved their belongings to California during the month, without counting those who have come to stay without bringing household effects with them. Thursday was the biggest California day that the railroad centering at Omaha ever experienced, according to Angeles out of Omaha. When the last tion officials. Literally thousands of people left Omaha, bound for Los Angeles and other Southland points in order to get to California before the increase in railroad passenger rates goes into effect. The Union Pacific system alone handled four special trains for Los Angeles out o Omaha.

AVOCADO PRODUCT IN ORG Ernest Braunton Make Our Grove In company with Mr. Nally, secretary of the ocado Association, thly spent a day inspect orchards in Orange co Nally is charting these owners will num record the amount of each, time of ripening and other interesting data. It was found district, as elsewhere set of the large or Cotton was favored by weather conditions during July and some improvement was noted. The only setback appeared to be in the Blythe district, where the late cotton was attacked by aphis, some damage resulting and a few small fields plowed up. The condition on July 25 was 85 per cent of a normal as compared with 100 last year, and a ten-year average of 98. With a rather poor stand and much late planted cotton the average yield is not likely to exceed one-half bale to the acre. Beans — Drought and hot weather the last half of July in the lima bean counties caused a material decrease in the prospects of the lima bean crop. About 75 per cent of the acreage planted to limas is unirrigated and it was this acreage which so showed the effects of the hot weather. Los Angeles county reported a condition of 65, Orange 40, San Diego 70, Santa Barbara 75 and Ventura 48, making a condition of 51 per cent of normal, compared to 47 one year ago, and 98 in 1918. Beans other than limas in the same counties were also affected by the high temperatures. The present forecast of production is for a crop of about 1,908,000 centsals of all varieties, while last year's crop was finally estimated at 3,000,000 centsals. Sugar Beets — The condition of sugar beets was 97 per cent of a normal, as compared with 73 on same date last year and a ten-year average of 89. The average yield per acre of sugar beets in California for the past ten years is about 9.40 tons. With an increase in acreage planted and an increase in average yield per acre indicated, a very substantial increase in the tonnage of sugar can be forecasted. Last year's sugar production was 131,172 tons. Walnuts are the same as last month. 72 per cent of a normal. Orange, Los Angeles and Ventura counties report conditions of 80, 80 and 90 respectively. Some increase in new bearing acreage and older trees will probably bring the total production to about 24,000 tons. Lemons show a condition of 86 per cent of a normal as compared with 76 on August 1, 1919, and a ten-year average of 81. Oranges, to a large extent, escaped the dreaded "June drop," and now promise the largest crop since 1916. The Union Pacific system alone handled four special trains for Los Angeles out o Omaha. When the last of the specials, and the three sections of the Overland Limited, pulled out of the station between seventy-five and 100 California-bound passengers were left standing on the platforms. They had been unable to secure accommodations on westbound trains. In addition to the direct Omaha-Los Angeles regular and special service, six Los Angeles-bound Pullmans were hauled out of Omaha attached to a train for Portland, Oregon. These will be switched off and consolidated with Los Angeles trains somewhere along the line. The Rock Island and Burlington railroads also each operated special trains from Omaha to Southern California. WILL BE 20 AMENDMENTS The constitutional amendments to be voted on at the November election will appear on the ballot in the following order, according to a statement recently given out by F. C. Jordan. secretary of state: 1—Anti-Japanese measure. 2—Harris prohibition enforcement act. 3—Increase of salaries for supreme and appellate court justices. 4—Amendment to initiative (anti-single tax measure). 5—Chiropractic act. 6—Anti-vaccination act. 7—Anti-vivisection act. 8—Sale of poison law. 9—Highway bond interest measure. 10—Constitutional convention. 11—Poll tax amendment. 12—University of California tax measure. 13—Community property law. 14Insurance by banks law. 15-Irrigation act. 16Teachers' salary measure. 17Absent voting amendment. 18Amendment exempting orphanages from taxation. 19Amendment providing state aid for children. 20-Single tax measure.

Oranges, to a large extent, escaped the dreaded "June drop," and now promise the largest crop since 1916. The decline in condition during July was but 3 points, caused largely by the heavy "drop" in central and northern California, following the high temperature about June 20. The condition on August 1, was 85 per cent of a normal, compared to 64 last year, and a ten-year average of 78. Next month the probable production in boxes will be forecasted. Grapes are in practically the same condition as on July 1, being 93, 85 and 90 for the wine, raisin and table varieties. Peaches improved 1 point during the month but there is practically no change in the production forecast, which is estimated at 397,000 tons. About 90 per cent of the total peach crop is canned, dried and shipped out of the state as fresh fruit, the balance being consumed within the state as fresh fruit or as canned and dried for use in the homes. Peaches in the United States are reported to be 60.7 per cent of normal, indicating about 45,521,000 bushels, compared with 51-340,000 bushels last year (December estimate). The condition of alfalfa for the state is 86, the lowest for over ten years, while the ten-year average is 93. Pasture is 74 per cent of a normal, compared to 89 last year and a ten-year average of 83. Pastures, it will be noted, are best in the southern and mountain counties where the rainfall was heaviest. ORANGE COUNTY AUTOISTS PREPARING FOR PICNIC Members of Association Will Enjoy Outing at Catalina. The proposed excursion of the Orange County Automobile Trades Association to Catalina on Saturday, Sept. 18, is sweeping the county and creating such an interest among the tradesmen that indications point to a tremendous crowd. Now it looks as though the county might furnish a full boat load. With this probability developing, Walter Biddick, secretary of the association, went over to Catalina to look the situation over there as to a location for the picnic party in the spreading of basket lunches and as to accommodations for a big assembled crowd at any one point. While there he also will make investigations along the line of chartering a boat exclusively for Orange county people. The excursion is being arranged by the employers as a compliment to their employees and to give them and their families an opportunity to see the beautiful island and enjoy a day of pleasure at the expense of the employers. The men will be paid full time and will be presented with tickets. ANAHEIM GAZETTE Friends of the garage men will be privileged to avail themselves of the cheap excursion rate. The dealers and employees in the county are region and with the privilege extended to friends of all it means that practically all of Orange county is invited. It is the purpose of the tradesmen to have their lunch together on the island, with a speaker to be present and address them while lunch is in progress. The speaker's subject will be along good, Americanism lines. To take care of the large group and furnish them with the accommodations they will need will require considerable ground space and Biddick will find out whether such a location is available. Should a boat be chartered, lunch will be served on the boat. The association will furnish coffee and ice cream. Mrs. Biddick accompanied Mr. Biddick to the island and they will return tomorrow, unless they fail to find overnight accommodation. AVOCADO PRODUCTION IN ORANGE COUNTY Ernest Braunton Makes Inspection of Our Groves. In company with Miss R. Agnes McNally, secretary of the California Avocado Association, the writer recently spent a day inspecting the avocado orchards in Orange county. Miss McNally is charting these orchards, and the owners will number the trees, record the amount of crop borne by each, time of ripening, age of trees and other interesting and valuable data. It was found throughout the district, as elsewhere, that the crop set of the large or Gautemalan type value of those bonds today is approximately $13,269,000,000 representing an actual loss to the bondholders of $2,115,000,000. It is true that if the bond owners are so situated financially that they can retain the bonds until maturity they will be paid in full, but it has been the bitter experience of hundreds of thousands of patriotic citizens who have been compelled to dispose of their bonds that they were compelled to lose about $15 out of every $100 they had invested. Never was such an appeal made to the people of this country as that sorted to in the various bond selling campaigns. Officials of the treasury hesitate at nothing to pursue the people to invest their savings in bonds, and in that appeal they had the enthusiastic support of organizations and individuals in every locality. The chief note of the campaign was the assurance to the people that they were absolutely guaranteed against loss if they put their money into the bonds—stock and bond issuing industries might fall, banks might become insolvent, but the stability of the government was unquestioned and loss from investment in its securities was utterly impossible. It was even asserted that Liberty Bonds were preferable to paper currency, as they not only maintained a similar value but bore a substantial rate of interest in addition. But the 15,000,000 or more of bond owners have faced a bitter disappointment, and have learned to their sorrow that the finances of even the United States government may be so mismanaged that its obligations will suffer depreciation. Quite naturally neither the democratic platform nor the democratic candidate for the presidency has taken cognizance of the law raises hell with him. If he is poor he is a bad manager, and has no sense. If he is rich, he is dishonest but considered smart. If he is out of politics you can't place him, he is an undesirable citizen.

The Hemerce has pride which tion of the town of Ustoria formla. In his s date Watk there is o Nally, secretary of the California Avocado Association, the writer recently spent a day inspecting the avocado orchards in Orange county. Miss McNally is charting these orchards, and the owners will number the trees, record the amount of crop borne by each, time of ripening, age of trees and other interesting and valuable data. It was found throughout the district, as elsewhere, that the crop set of the large or Gautemalan type is generally heavy and that of the Mexican or "thin skins" very light, probably largely due to our cool, cloudy spring and early summer. The Gautemalans come from the cool uplands; the Mexicans revel in hot sunshine. A support of this theory is the fact that the Fuerte, a hybrid between the two and noted for its constant heavy croppings, has not set so heavily as the average of the years since it was introduced. The first orchard inspected was that of L. D. Oliver, north of Yorba Linda, where there are 460 trees. Of those 320 are of bearing age, a mixture of about 20 varieties, some unnamed and inferior. Of the named varieties the greater number are of Rey, a poor sort. These will be largely topworked to better ones. Mr. Oliver has a young orchard of 140 trees that were budded in the field to a variety from Anaheim known as Dutton. It is a purple fruit weighing one pound, egg shaped, strong, upright grower, ripening its fruit in winter, from December to May. But it is not placed in the dozen best sorts by those who know. There is a variety named Anaheim, however, and of which Mr. Oliver has a few, that is quite promising. The next place visited was that of W. H. Holloway, where the original Dickinson and a second one of nearly equal size are growing. The big Dickinson was heavily loaded, certainly not less than 120 per cent of a normal crop. All the larger trees are eight years old, mostly of five varieties. In a total of 125 there are 65 Fuerte (young trees), 18 Ganter, 12 Harmon, three Northup, the two Dickinson and one each of a few others. The really big trees were a few on the B. H. Sharpless ranch at Tustin, the home of the original Sharpless. Here, in a home orchard of 100 trees, nearly all are of that variety. The older trees are loaded with hundreds of fruits of about 24 ounces each. There are some large trees well load-bore a substantial rate of interest in addition. But the 15,000,000 or more of bond owners have faced a bitter disappointment, and have learned to their sorrow that the finances of even the United States government may be so mismanaged that its obligations will suffer depreciation. Quite naturally neither the democratic platform nor the democratic candidate for the presidency has taken cognizance of the huge loss which party's inefficiency and incompetency has forced upon the people. Senator Harding, on the other hand, has declared that 'this government should make its Liberty and Victory bonds worth all that its patriotic citizens paid in purchasing them.' He intimates that if he is elected president he will do all in his power to bring that about. In making that statement the republican candidate has indulged in no idle reflection, for as long as September 17, 1918, Hon. John W. Weeks of Massachusetts outlined to the state a plan whereby billions of dollars could be saved to the people through the issuance of serial bonds instead of those having a single maturity. It will be possible for President Harding to collaborate with a republican congress in securing legislation authorizing the refunding of all Liberty bonds into a single serial bond issue bearing interest at 5 1-4 per cent, and costing the taxpayers no more than the present cumbersome sinking fund method of retirement. And not only would additional cost be avoided, but Liberty Bond owners would have the satisfaction of seeing their holdings go to par the moment the interest rate was increased and restore to them the $2,000,000—loss endured under the Democratic administration. FULLERTON TOURIST PARK The new Fullerton auto camp ground on the new Hillcrest Park property on the Spadra road, will be opened within a short time, according to a statement by J. C. Seupelt, park superintendent. The camp ground will cover something like an acre and a half and will be one of the best equipped in Southern California. There is a background of hills covered with eucalyptus trees and new trees are being set out in the park. In the meanwhile with his fellow man. In his infancy he is an angel. In his boyhood he is anything from a lizard up. In his duties he is a fool. If he raises a family he is a chump. If he raises a small check he is a thief then the law raises hell with him. If he is poor he is a bad manager, and has no sense. If he is rich, he is dishonest but considered smart. If he is out of politics you can't place him as he is an undesirable citizen. If he goes to church he is a hypocrite, and if he doesn't, he is a sinner and is damned. If he donates to missionaries he does it for show. If he doesn't he is stingy, and a "tight-wad." When he first comes into the world everybody wants to kiss him. Before he goes out of it, they all want to kick him. If he dies young, there was a great future before him, but if he lives to a ripe old age, he is in the way and is only living to be fed and to save funeral expenses. This is a hard road to travel, but we all like to travel it. In order to be healthy he must eat nothing, drink nothing, smoke nothing, and see that the air is properly sterilized before breathing. Don't be a "kicker." TOTAL WAR LOSS The total loss in actual and potential life through the great war reached the astounding figure of 35,320,000, according to an announcement by the American Red Cross. The figures were collected by the Copenhagen society for studying the social consequences of the war. They show: Killed in war, 9,819,000. Deaths due to augmentation of mortality, economic blockades, war epidemics, 5,301,000. Fall in birth rate due to mobilization of 56,000,000 men between the age of 20 and 45, 20,200,000. MAKING MEXICO SAFE FOR AMERICAN INVESTORS Yaqui Indians Bury the Hatchet and are Friendly. For the first time in half a century the Yaqui Indians of Sonora have had the experience of negotiating a treaty with the Mexican government and having that treaty fulfilled promptly and to the letter by the federal and state authorities. The result of this belated showing of good faith is that a total of 125 there are 65 Fuerte (young trees), 18 Ganter, 12 Harmon, three Northup, the two Dickinson and one each of a few others. The really big trees were a few on the B. H. Sharpless ranch at Tustin, the home of the original Sharpless. Here, in a home orchard of 100 trees, nearly all are of that variety. The older trees are loaded with hundreds of fruits of about 24 ounces each. There are some large trees well loaded of the Monroe, so named for Mrs. Sharpless. The others are of many varieties of the better sorts. Aside from this place there is a young six acre orchard of Sharpless at La Habra that promises much. The original tree of this variety is one of the largest in California. On September 17, 1901, in company with the late Dr. A. J. Cook and Samuel Tustin, the writer visited a fruiting avocado on the street corner in Tustin. It was a Mexican variety with globose fruits weighing a quarter of a pound each. The tree was loaded, and Mr. Tustin told us he sold them at $3 a dozen. After a lapse of 19 years the tree was again visited and found still to be fruiting, though on a street corner, in the parking and surrounded by concrete, receiving no water except the winter rains. LIBERTY BOND OWNERS GIVE THIS ATTENTION On May 31, 1920, the latest date for which detailed figures are available, there were Liberty Bonds outstanding to the amount of about $15,384,000,000. The Treasury Department has made some purchase in the market since that date, but the reduction in the total has been comparatively negligible. With the amounts of that date as the basis and applying the present market quotations we find that the sale The new Fullerton auto camp ground on the new Hillcrest Park property on the Spadra road, will be opened within a short time, according to a statement by J. C. Seupelt, park superintendent. The camp ground will cover something like an acre and a half and will be one of the best equipped in Southern California. There is a background of hills covered with eucalyptus trees and new trees are being set out in the park. In the meantime the camping ground will be shaded by two extensive shelters thatched with palm leaves. In the center there will be a rustice Swiss chalet to match the rustic style of the camp grounds. In this there will be a ladies' toilet and shower bath, a men's toilet and shower bath, a room for the caretaker of the park, a room for tools and a reading room with a grate for the tourists. Several wood fires stoves will be placed in the camping ground for the use of the tourists and wood will be furnished. The grading for the camp ground has already been done and the work on the laying of the water pipes and work on one of the shelters will begin shortly. The camp ground will be opened as soon as the first shelter is completed. A column of rustic logs over which will be a signboard will mark the entrance to the camp ground from the Spadra road side. JOHNSON GOOD LOSER That Hiram W. Johnson has pointed the way for all former followers to cooperate in the presidential campaign is the answer of T. S. Montgomery, San Jose banker and a Johnson delegate to the Chicago convention, to a query concerning his support of Harding and Coolidge. Montgomery declared that Senator Johnson's action in preparing himself for an intensive FOR AMERICAN INVESTORS Yaqui Indians Bury the Hatchet and are Friendly. For the first time in half a century the Yaqui Indians of Sonora have had the experience of negotiating a treaty with the Mexican government and having that treaty fulfilled promptly and to the letter by the federal and state authorities. The result of this belated showing of good faith is that the Yaquis, for the first time in fifty years, are deserting their mountain strongholds and returning to the ways of peace and civilization. This information reached here from Jacob S. Sheperd, formerly of Los Angeles, who is now reopening mining properties in the state of Sonora, which have been idle during many years that Mexico's industrial life has been paralyzed as the result of revolutions. For the first time since 1902, Mr. Shepherd writes, it is possible to go with safety into the Yaqui River country, not only with the consent of the Indians, but actually with their cordial assistance. The pacification of the Yaquis, one of the notable accomplishments of the regime of Provisional President de la Huerta, which is quickly bringing stability of all of Mexico, is said by the former Los Angeles man to be due to the fact that Gov. Borquez of Sonora managed to win the confidence of the two former irreconcilable Yaqui chiefs—Matus and Espinosa. For the first time in their lives, they left their retreats in the Bacatete mountains and journeyed all the way to Hermosillo to meet the governor, who made a promise and kept it. The terms of the Hermosillo agreement were that if the Indians would promise to lay down their arms and resume civilized lives, the government PAGE THREE the east and Coolidge to the fullest of all Johnthe little talk is a few hours on.

If he would help them to get started by furnishing them with needed provisions and food supplies and modern farming implements. Almost before the ink was dry on the signatures to the treaty Gov. Borquez had started twenty carloads of provisions on their way for delivery to the Yaqui representatives. The period of official and popular hostility to the United States and toward American citizens has come to an end, Mr. Sheperd states. Confidence in the new government has inaugurated a new era for the development of Mexico's enormous natural resources, says Mr. Sheperd. All classes realize that large investments of foreign capital, American capital in particular, will be necessary to restore lasting prosperity, and in future neither official nor other hostility will delay the opening up of the mines, the building of railroads, the development of agriculture nor the erection of dams and vast irrigation enterprises. The Hermosillo Chamber of Commerce has just launched an enterprise which, he cites, for the irrigation of the Sonora Valley from the town of Ures clear to the Gulf of California. In his speech of acceptance Candidate Watkins made the statement that there is only one issue of consequence confronting the American voter in this campaign, and that is the prohibition question. As bone-dry prohibition is now a Constitutional law of the land, what does Mr. Watkins mean by that assertion. Does he want a referendum on the question? What excuse can Candidate Watkins give for being in the presidential race, anpway, and what reason is there for a prohibition party with a single plank, at this time? ALL ANIMALS "Every one in our family is some kind of an animal," said Jimmy to the amazed preacher. "Why, you shouldn't say that!" the good man exclaimed. "Well," said Jummy, "mother's a dear, the baby is mother's little lamb, I'm the kid, and dad's the goat." Although the meeting place of the assembly of the Wilson league of nations has not yet been selected, it is very evident it will not be Marion, Ohio. Government price experts in Washington predict a general reduction in retail costs of clothing and foods for the autumn, the economic conditions now seeming to indicate that war inflation is subsiding. The people are waiting. Ford THE UNIVERSAL CAR The Ford Sedan, with electric self-starting and lighting system and demountable rims with 3½-inch tires front and rear, for every day in the year has no equal as a family car. Just as popular on the farm as it is in the city. In fact, it fits the family demands in every vocation of life. Large, roomy seats, finely upholstered, plate glass windows make it an open car in pleasant weather, while in rainy and inclement weather it becomes a closed car, dust-proof and rain-proof. It is not only comfortable, but really cozy, and above all, economical in operation and maintenance, and has all the Ford merits of strength and durability.
