Anaheim Gazette ESTABLISHED 1870 ISSUED EVERY THURSDAY Henry Kuchel, Editor and Proprietor SUBSCRIPTION PER YEAR ... $1.50 SIX MONTHS ... $1.00 THREE MONTHS ... $ .50 Entered at the Anaheim Postoffice as second-class matter OFFICIAL CITY PAPER HOW TO STANDARDIZE BARNYARD FERTILIZERS Farm Bureau Plans Protection of Farmer From Dishonest Dealers. $200,000 per year is lost to the purchasers of barnyard fertilizers in Orange County alone. This is a conservative estimate given by Geo. McPhee, County Sealer of Weights, at a recent meeting of the Farm Bureau Fertilizer Committee. Steps have been taken by this committee to outline a method of establishing a more satisfactory system of buying and distribution. At the last meeting of the committee it was decided that the first thing to be done is to start an educational campaign among the citrus associations and growers throughout the county to pool their orders for fertilizers in order to command lower prices. Secondly, the fertilizer companies must be persuaded through popular demand to sell on a unit or analysis basis instead of bulk basis. In this way the farmer will be paying only for what he gets. Only a very few fertilizer dealers are willing to sell on the analysis of their shipments today because the farmer has been willing of cases local produce was turned down in preference to Japanese produce or goods shipped in from Los Angeles. The Center decided to consider the question at the next meeting. Mr. Hartranft, President of the Fullerton Farm Center, spoke on the advisability of showing at the Coming County Fair. Mr. Murray Horne of Huntington Beach discussed the various classes of exhibits that will be entered in competition at the fair thi year. A committee consisting of Mr. Culp, Mr Land and Mr Welton were appointed to confer with the Fullerton Board of Trade about exhibiting at the fair. Dr. S. S. Twombly, chairman of the Farm Bureau Fertilizing Committee reported the recommendations that will be submitted to the county directors. The resolution protesting the high rates of the Edison Power company were approved. Mr. Culver reported that the Wicker-sham implement company would give space for a branch Farm Bureau office in Fullerton. The matter will be referred to the Director's of the Farm Bureau. Farm Bureau Directors Meet Friday. Many important questions will be presented to the Directors for consideration at their September monthly meeting next Friday. A report of the fertilizer committee will be heard. Mr. Geo. McPhee, County Sealer of Weights and Measures, and District Attorney West will be present. The County Fair Committee will report on progress of various center committees. The question of Orange County exhibiting at Riverside Fair will be considered.

Secondly, the fertilizer companies must be persuaded through popular demand to sell on a unit or analysis basis instead of bulk basis. In this way the farmer will be paying only for what he gets. Only a very few fertilizer dealers are willing to sell on the analysis of their shipments today because the farmer has been willing to accept most anything that has been shipped him. If the majority of growers would demand the only fair and just system of determining the true value of manures, the average dealer would meet that demand. The committee of the Farm Bureau will meet with the Directors of every citrus association in Orange County to lay plans before them and solicit their cooperation in urging association members to pool their orders. Companies dealing with large orders will more likely accept such orders on basis of analysis for payment. In order to obtain a fair and disinterested sample, the committee may recommend the appointment of a fertilizer inspector who shall assist the office of County Sealer of Weights in the good work that has been started. District Attorney West will be invited to the next meeting of the Farm Bureau Directors to discuss the present fertilizer law and suggest such amendments as are needed to give our authorities power to stop questionable shipments into this county. Other county Farm Bureaus are being urged by the Orange County Bureau to consider similar action in this line. Farm Centers Preparing For Fair. Farm Center Committees are now busily engaged soliciting material for center and community exhibits at the Orange County Fair, Huntington Beach in October. Tustin, Cypress, Anaheim, Fullerton, Garden Grove, Harper and Yorba Linda are slated for the Fair. Other centers that are considering the move are West Orange, Buena Park, Villa Park and La Habra. Mr. Murray Horne has been meeting with centers and fair committees giving them instructions for collecting and assembling material. If the Directors of the Farm Bureau and the Board of Supervisors decide to show at Riverside the best material from our community exhibits will be presented at their September monthly meeting next Friday. A report of the fertilizer committee will be heard. Mr. Geo. McPhee, County Sealer of Weights and Measures, and District Attorney West will be present. The County Fair Committee will report on progress of various center committees. The question of Orange County exhibiting at Riverside Fair will be considered. The location of a Farm Bureau branch office at Fullerton will be discussed. Prof. Nelson, soil expert of the College of Agriculture, and Prof. L. B. Smith, Assistant State Leader of Farm Advisors, will discuss Farm Bureau activities. The Farm Advisor and his assistant will make reports. OUR DIMENSIONS The gross area of the United States is 3,026,789 square miles. The land area amounts to 2,973,774 square miles and the water area—exclusive of the area in the Great Lakes, the Atlantic, the Pacific, and the Gulf of Mexico within the three-mile limit—amounts to 53,015 square miles. These and other data determined or compiled by the United States Geological Survey, Department of the Interior, to show the limits of the continental United States contain some interesting facts. The southernmost point of the mainland is Cape Sable, Fla., which is in latitude 25 degrees 07 minutes and longitude 81 degrees 05 minutes. The extreme southern point of Texas is in latitude 25 degrees 50 minutes, and longitude 97 degrees 24 minutes. Cape Sable is therefore forty-nine miles farther south than the most southern point in Texas. A small detached land area of Northern Minnesota at longitude 95 degrees 09 minutes extends northward to latitude 49° degrees 23 minutes. The easternmost point of the United States is West Quoddy Head, near Eastport, Maine, in longitude 66 degrees 57 minutes and latitude 44 degrees 49 minutes; the westernmost point is Cape Alva, Wash., in latitude 48 degrees 10 minutes, which extends into the Pacific Ocean to longitude 124 degrees 45 minutes. Born, at the sanitarium on Monday, Sept. 13, to Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Heying a daughter. Garden Grove, Harper and Yorba Linda are slated for the Fair. Other centers that are considering the move are West Orange, Buena Park, Villa Park and La Habra. Mr. Murray Horne has been meeting with centers and fair committees giving them instructions for collecting and assembling material. If the Directors of the Farm Bureau and the Board of Supervisors decide to show at Riverside the best material from our community exhibits will be shown there. FARM CENTER CONSIDERS CO-OPERATIVE BUYING That co-operative buying by the farmers of the district would save them hundreds of dollars was the general expression of the several who spoke on that subject at the Fullerton Farm Center last Friday. Mr. Lang pointed out that Eastern and Middlewestern farmers were organizing associations for the purpose of buying supplies, feeds and machinery at a great saving. Mr. L. O. Culp thought that local merchants ought to be protected and their business not infringed upon. However, it was suggested by others that a farmers buying association would have no detrimental effect on local business houses because the association would take largely the care of that business which is being done on the outside now. There are many ranchers who go out of town to do their buying for one reason or other. Mr. W. F. Coulter cited instances of the larger ranches purchasing their feed and hay supplies wholly independent of local merchants. Two or three testified that the local merchant did not always give the local farmer a square deal. In a number ANAHEIM GAZETTE League delegates from all the high schools in the county met in this city yesterday afternoon. Anaheim, Fullerton, Whittier, Santa Ana and Orange are members of the league. Harry D. Riley, northern Orange County Studebaker agent, recently sold cars to Louis C. Kelly of Fullerton and Rejino Ortez of Santa Ana. C. S. Troutman is going to Indianapolis to attend the National G.A.R. encampment, where he hopes to meet a number of his old comrades of the 6th Iowa Infantry, the regiment with which he fought during the civil war. Troutman will make a stop at his old home in Iowa to see how his tenant is managing his farm. He will be back in time to vote for Harding and Coolidge on the 2d of November. By a unanimous vote the chamber of commerce Monday night endorsed the action taken at a previous meeting opposing any further expenditure of money on Newport harbor. It is said the beachites will be loaded with hot shot for the Anaheim society at the next meeting of the associated chambers. A committee of the chamber of commerce was appointed Monday night for the purpose of investigating the sewer farm at Stanton and reporting on the advisability of putting it in oranges. The committee is composed of W. T. Wallop chairman, W. D. Grafton, C. B. Berger, Charles Harbeson and A. W. Reeves. Arnie Baker's Ford was bumped into Tuesday morning at the corner of Broadway and Los Angeles streets, by a car driven by Sam Ferguson of Huntington Beach. Baker's car was would be higher as large contractors cannot do the work as cheaply as smaller ones. Motion Reconsidered While the audience was under the impression that two districts could and should be created, instead of one, a motion by C. B. Berger for the creation of one district was voted down. Later, on the motion of J. B. Eaton, the matter was reconsidered and the motion adopted. Many suggestions were made following the statement by McBride that two districts would be cheaper than one. When it was found that the section of the country affected was not large enough for two districts unless Ocean avenue on the south was included in the project, it was stated that the people of Ocean avenue vicinity would not "stand for" the improvement as that avenue is not used much. This led to abandonment of the two-district project after much discussion. Those on the Ball Road committee are J. B. Eaton and J. W. Heying. On the Katella committee, W. C. Mauerhan and Dr. J. W. Harpster. On the Garden Grove committee, C. B. Berger, Dr. C. B. Walsworth and Thomas Harter. CONVERT YOUR BONDS Holders of Temporary Liberty Bonds of the First, Second, and Third Liberty Loans are falling to take advantage of the opportunity to exchange their holdings for Permanent Bonds bearing coupons to maturity, according to John U. Calkins, Governor of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, in a letter sent to all banks, bankers and trust companies of the Twelfth Federal Reserve District. Interest on these Temporary Bonds cannot be collected beyond the number of coupons at- URGES TARIFF ACTION The Orange County Republican Central committee which met at Santa Ana Tuesday afternoon, adopted the following resolution: "Whereas, A number of California products, including citrus fruits, beans and walnuts, are today menaced by the invasion of foreign-grown products; and, Whereas, Higher tariffs upon those products are absolutely necessary in order to prevent those California industries from being wiped out; Whereas, A long investigation into tariff conditions, a long hearing in congress concerning tariff legislation would seriously delay the establishment of higher tariffs, and thus delay the arrival of relief sorely needed by these California products; be it Resolved, By the Orange County Republican Central committee, that it go on record as urging that the next congress immediately after it convenes re-enact the tariff provisions and schedules that were in effect when the Democrats went into control, and that the Republican tariff laws as thus re-enacted be used as the basis of whatever revision is found necessary. And, further, be it Resolved, That this central committee request that a plank similar to this declaration be incorporated in the platform to be acted upon by the coming California state convention Holders of Temporary Liberty Bonds of the First, Second, and Third Liberty Loans are falling to take advantage of the opportunity to exchange their holdings for Permanent Bonds bearing coupons to maturity, according to John U. Calkins, Governor of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, in a letter sent to all banks, bankers and trust companies of the Twelfth Federal Reserve District. Interest on these Temporary Bonds cannot be collected beyond the number of coupons attached to them and it is of vital importance to those who bought First, Second, and Third Liberty Loan Bonds to turn them in for permanent securities. The relatively small amount of Temporary Coupon Bonds of the First, Second, and Third Liberty Loans represented for exchange, indicates that a large number of bond holders are not aware that Temporary Bonds of the above issues may, at this time, be exchanged for Permanent Coupon Bonds bearing coupons to maturity. Governor Calkins said in his letter: "This bank, as Fiscal Agent of the United States, is now prepared to make prompt and full delivery of First, Second, and Third Liberty Loan Permanent Coupon Bonds for Temporary Coupon Bonds surrendered."

NEW ROAD DISTRICT The creation of a road improvement district for the paving of the Railroad, the Katilla road and the County Farm road from the state highway on the west and the graveling of cross roads running north and south was favored by unanimous vote at the mass meeting held at the Katella school house Monday night, at which about 30 citizens of that district were present. Three committees were appointed to circulate the petition among the people for the creation of the road district. The meeting was presided over by W. C. Mauerhan. The proposals to create the large road improvement district for the paving of all three of the roads met with strong opposition during the early part of the meeting, when it was found upon the advice of J. L. McBride, county engineer, that the creation of so large a district might mean the elimination of local contractors and turning over of the job to contractors from Los Angeles, or other outside points, which would mean, he said, that the bids Now, therefore I, John Skelton Williams, Comptroller of the Currency, do hereby certify that "The Golden State National Bank of Anaheim", in the City of Anaheim, in the County of Orange and State of California, is authorized to commence the business of Banking as provided in Section Fifty one hundred and sixty nine of the Revised Statutes of the United States.
