ROAD COMMITTEE GETTING GOOD RESULTS D. EYMAN HUFF REPORTS TO A. C. of C. THAT SPEEDING AND OVERLOADING ARE ON DECREASE. Demands Enforcement of Law Against Irrigation Water Being Permitted To Overflow Highways—Naval Officer Tells Banqueters Battleship California To Be Manned Only By Men Of The Golden State. Stringent enforcement of regulations against irrigation water being permitted to overflow paved highways to their damage, and arrest of motorists who operate their cars with glaring headlights and endanger the lives of people traveling the highways at night, was suggested and uregd by D. Eyman Huff, chairman of the good roads committee at the monthly meeting of the Orange County Associated Chambers of Commerce at Masonic Temple in Anaheim Wednesday. Huff reported for the committee which had been charged at the last meeting with the responsibility of making a detailed survey of the roads of the county. He made a brief verbal report and stated that a written report would be prepared and submitted at the next session of the county boost body. He declared that as a result of activities of the committee much of ent efficiency of the department. The motion carried unanimously. D. Eyman Huff supported the action and declared his belief that if the county could not legally increase the salaries of the employees that the citrus associations possibly might contribute to a fund to assist in making the compensation what it should be. T. B. Talbert, chairman of the Board of Supervisors, stated that the salaries could not be raised, except by increasing the allowance for transportation. That the California Fruit Exchange is seeking another location for the establishment of a bi-products plant was disclosed by D. Eyman Huff. The plant at Corona has a capacity of 100 tons per day and will be increased by fifty per cent. Another plant of 100 tons capacity is to be built soon, the location yet to be determined. Huff thought it could be located in some community in Orange county if proper inducements were offered. The principal requirements is the gift of a site of about two acres, where railroad and drainage facilities will be ample to meet the needs of the factory. Any community desiring to bid for the enterprise was requested to present a proposition direct to D. Eyman Huff or to J. C. Metzgar, secretary of the Associated Chambers. L. A. Copeland, of Huntington Beach called attention to the Orange County fair at Huntington Beach on Thursday, Friday and Saturday of this week. He said it is to be a real country fair and that the exhibits would be double what they were last year. There will be a meeting of a number of Orange county institutions at the beach during the fair.

Huff reported for the committee which had been charged at the last meeting with the responsibility of making a detailed survey of the roads of the county. He made a brief verbal report and stated that a written report would be prepared and submitted at the next session of the county boost body. He declared that as a result of activities of the committee much of the cause for complaints about speeding and overloading of trucks on the highways have been removed. Sand and gravel trucks, complained of at the Huntington Beach meeting as operating over the Garden Grove road to Long Beach with heavy loads and at fast speed, have reduced their speed by fifty per cent and brought their loads down to tonnage within the law. Declaring that machines were being operated on the roads without attempt to comply with the law controlling the headlights, Huff suggested that the authorities conduct a campaign against drivers who are violating the state laws. Jitney and truck drivers have no hesitancy in cutting in and wobly trailers are a menace to traffic, he declared. Observation of conditions along the highways showed that pavement is being damaged by irrigation water flowing on to roads. Japanese, he said, were the worst offenders. Absence of brakes on trailers, trees along the highways with low drooping limbs damaging automobile tops, and other conditions along the county highways came in for criticism. Every delegate to the chambers was appointed as a county committee to co-operate with the recruiting officers of the navy in a campaign to supply Orange county's quota of men for manning the dreadnaught, California, soon to be placed in service. Appointment of the committee followed an address by Lieut. Commander G. M. Welchelt of Washington, D. C., who is on the coast campaigning for recruits for the California. In eloquent terms he presented the activities of the navy service its founding and the important part it has played in the life of the nation. He declared that the California is the last word in battleship construction, and that it would be the flagship of the Pacific Coast fleet. It is the ambition of the navy to man the fighting ship with California tary of the Associated Chambers. L. A.

Ten thousand tickets have been passed out to school children for use on Friday, when the teachers of the county will hold their institute meeting there. A prize of $25 has been offered for the first couple to be married at the fair, with a jeweler offering a wedding ring and an aviation firm an aeroplane ride. October 14 will be Orange county day at the Riverside fair. Race horses belonging to Geo. A. Moliring will race on that day. Arrangements for an Orange county automobile excursion to the fair were referred to the excursion committee. Ladies of the Eastern Star served the dinner and it was "all to the good." There was plenty of good home cooked food and it was enjoyed by the hundred or more men and women in attendance. The address of welcome was by Harry Riley, president of the Anaheim Chamber and the response by L. P. Damewood, president of the Orange Commercial club. The next meeting will be held at Tustin. TESTS SHOW QUALITY OF ROAD MATERIALS Bureau of Public Roads Seeks Information of Value to Highway Engineers. Such important questions as how hard a heavy motor truck pounds a pavement when going at 5 miles an hour and at 15 miles an hour are being answered by investigators for the Bureau of Public Roads, United States Department of Agriculture, in a series of scientific experiments, which, when completed, promise to be of great value to highway engineers. Already sufficient tests have been made to show that increased speed of a vehicle equipped with hard rubber tires tremendously increases the impact which its wheels make on the roadway where there is any unevenness. On the other hand, where pneumatic tires are used increased speed adds comparatively little to the impact. It has promise to improve engineered roads of various types.

He declared that the California is the last word in battleship construction, and that it would be the flagship of the Pacific Coast fleet. It is the ambition of the navy to man the fighting ship with California men exclusively. The vessel will have a complement of 1600 men, of which will be recruits and 600 experienced navy men, but Californians. "We want two-fisted, red blooded California men to man the California," decared the speaker. "The California will be the largest war vessel afloat. It will be the flagship of the Pacific fleet and we want only California boys on the vessel." He spoke in glowing terms of the ability of the navy to make loyal, true Americans of enlisted men and to guild character. He declared that there are more trades taught in the navy than there are varieties of Heinz pickles. There are sixty branches of trade education. Wages paid employes of the Orange County Horticultural department came up for discussion by Charles Eygabroad reporting that the Northern Orange county fruit exchange recently had had the matter up. The exchange directors passed a resolution endorsing any action that the Board of Supervisors might take in advancing the wages necessary to maintain the high degree of efficiency now obtaining in the department.

Already sufficient tests have been made to show that increased speed of a vehicle equipped with hard rubber tires tremendously increases the impact which its wheels make on the roadway where there is any unevenness. On the other hand, where pneumatic tires are used increased speed adds comparatively little to the impact. It has been suggested that these tests will be of great value not only in settling questions of design but may also lead to a rational basis for determining license fees for motor vehicles. Trucks Used in Tests. Trucks have been used in these tests varying in size from a 1-ton truck up to a 7 1-2 ton truck carrying an excess load. Each truck was run over a special recording device embedded in a roadway and the impact which resulted when one of the wheels made a 2-inch drop from a ledge built in the surface caused the deformation of specially prepared copper cylinders forming part of the apparatus. The magnitude of the blow was accurately ascertained in pounds by measuring the extent to which the cylinder had been forced out of shape. Recent tests were made with a 3-ton truck of well-known make loaded with a 4 1-2 ton load so that the total weight on each rear wheen was 7,000 pounds, the unsprung portion (that not supported by the springs) being 1,700 pounds and the sprung portion (that portion supported by the springs) 5,300 pounds. The truck was equipped first with an old solid tire that had been worn down to a thickness of 1 inch.

OLIVES MADE "SAFE" Six containers of ripe olives out of the one hundred and eighty million shipped out of California since the industry was started are not very many, but those six very nearly brought disaster to the olive men of this state. Persons eating olives from the half-dozen cans were poisoned and some of them died. A string of yellow newspapers did the rest. The fact that the olive alone of all canned products had never up to that time been charged with a poisoning did not deter the faking sheets that started the thing from playing up the Detroit deaths to the limit of sensationallism and thereby frightening the country into the belief that the eating of ripe olives was an exceedingly dangerous practice. Other eastern papers copied the horror stuff to the extent, at least, of making much more out-of it than they would have in the case of the ordinary poisoning attributed to about every kind of spoiled food, and the whole public took alarm. People wouldn't eat olives and dealers employing eight thousand peprsons and representing a substantial part of the material wealth of California had been wantonly attacked in order that a notorious faker of the editorial world might make a new horror yarn to scare and thrill his readers. Well, the olive men have come back, and they have come back strong. No more taking chances for them, even though it be only a one-to-thirty million shot.

GAME NEWS When the general game-seasons open on Saturday the sixteenth of October for ducks and quail, Southern California seems certain to experience by far the greatest sporting season ever known, even in this land of new records in hunting and angling licenses sold every year. Field patrolmen of the Fish and Game Commission report an unusually good showing of quail in the washes and brushlands, while in many sections rabbits appear to have made a very evident increase also. This encouraging forecast for an unusually good shooting-season is concurred in very generally by sportsmen who have been in position to experience the same conditions. Both as regards upland game, and as concerns ducks, the verdict appears very near unanimous. Ducks have been piling into the marshy sections, both natural lakes and the artesian overflows of the preserved clubs, a steady influx having been in evidence for weeks. Deputies in all the Southern Counties have made similar reports on the heavy ante-season flight of sprig, not unusual in itself; but these fine fowl are staying around more generally than in some past seasons. The unusual plenty of feed is probably the correct explanation. Much barley was planted, and the late rains encouraged ranchers to let it go for grain. Difficulties about labor have delayed threshing considerably in most sections, and all the game-birds bid fair to benefit by the "shattering-out" of the barley, wheat and other grains that could not be hauled at exactly the right time from the farmer's point of view. Reports of veteran sportsmen to the Fish and Game Commission agree generally in finding that the dove-shooting has remained good very much longer than in any preceding season since this ever-popular summer sport was first deferred by law until the beginning of September. Deputies of the conservation commission in covering the game fields and checking over hunters, fully confirm the excellence of the sport throughout the month, this year having dispelled any doubts as to whether "protection by wise laws well-enforced" pays. The sportsman is reap-ple wouldn't eat olives and dealers employing eight thousand peprons and representing a substantial part of the material wealth of California had been wantonly attacked in order that a notorious faker of the editorial world might make a new horror yarn to scare and thrill his readers. Well, the olive men have come back, and they have come back strong. No more taking chances for them, even though it be only a one-to-thirty million shot. From the day the vicious and wildly distorted reports of the Detroit poisonings were spread on the pages of the faking newspapers that started the alarm the olive growers and packers were resolved that their industry should henceforth be made safer than safe as far as all human experience with canned products to that date had gone, if such a thing were possible. The result of that decision is the new ruling by the California State Board of Health that ripe olives shall be deemed "adulterated" within the meaning of the California Pure Foods Act unless they shall have been sterilized at a temperature of 240 deg. Farenheit for a period of not less than forty minutes. The Board of Health's action was taken at the instance of a special board of investigation composed of eminent scientists and employed by the California Olive Association and the National Canners' Association. The scientists had demonstrated by the most exhaustive investigation that the deadly organisms found in the six containers in Detroit could be killed under all conditions of cooking ripe olives by the observance of the precaution determined upon. From now on, therefore, that is way ripe olives will be sterilized against the sensationally heralded one-thirty-millionth possibility of doing harm. The association could have taken no more effective way of getting the olive permanently back in the public confidence and undoing the harm that has been done. At the same time that the ripe olive is being made so convincingly safe the olive men are launching a great campaign to bring the merits of their nutritious product before the world. The combination of the two plans is bound to have happy results for the olive industry, which may be reasonably expected to advance most satisfactorily from now on.

This is necessary because mites live breed in the dark cracks and crevices around the hen's roosting quarters and only go on the birds to feed at night. The object in using distillate kerosene is on account of their penetrating powers, the oil killing the mites by contact. While delousing your birds, it is fine time to get rid of your culls, as this is just the right time to make your final culling of poor layers. It is very easy to cull at this time because your poor layers are showing up very yellow on the beak, ear lobes and shanks, their combs at this time are shriveled and pale and the poorest birds are in a very heavy molt. The next thing to do is to repair your house. Be sure that all the window panes are in, that the cracks that have opened up during the summer are closed, and that all your curtains are in good working order so that they will be in working order when the rainy weather comes along. It is also very important that all your spring pullets are properly housed in their laying quarters for the winter also get rid of your under sized and under developed pullets. In regard to feeding, it is very essential to avoid any rapid or radical changes in feeding between the end of July and November, because this apt to force a good many birds into early molt and this should be avoided at all times, because egg production is essential at all times on a poultry ranch. Your ligthing equipment should be gone over during this month regardless of whether it is electrical, gasoline or kerosene, with the view of being ready to put it into use about the first part of next month. Remember that in the poultry business feeding, breeding and cleanliness are the most important factors, and by having everything cleaned up for the winter you are starting your birds out shooting has remained good very much longer than in any preceding season since this ever-popular summer sport was first deferred by law until the beginning of September. Deputies of the conservation commission in covering the game fields and checking over hunters, fully confirm the excellence of the sport throughout the month, this year having dispelled any doubts as to whether "protection by wise laws well-enforced" pays. The sportsman is reaping a rich harvest as reward for his self-denial. Ten years ago, doves were well on the way toward a closed-season such as given the band-tailed mountain pigeons. As a sporting proposition, it did not take a very wise man to foresee the end of the dove. Today, the few well-meaning sportsmen who ten years ago opposed deferring dove-shooting until September first, are shown that the birds are not all gone by that time, nor the end of the month either. Many forgot that it was summer shooting, rather than the season, that drove the gray birds away from their haunts; and that the "bights" of summer were an incident to breeding, better dispensed with for the good of the game. Now, the present season has shown that September's flights are in every sporting sense far and away ahead of the old August kind. No man need feel ashamed of his skill in bagging a limit on present-day full-grown, strong-winged speedsters in gray as they whizz through the oaks, dodging artfully in twists, and turns that cheat the ablest of shots often enough to whet their interest, giving the best of training for the feathered "Big Game" of the marshes so soon to open. vincingly safe the olive men are launching a great campaign to bring the merits of their nutritious product before the world. The combination of the two plans is bound to have happy results for the olive industry, which may be reasonably expected to advance most satisfactorily from now on. PREPARATION OF THE FLOCK FOR THE WINTER With winter approaching it is high time to get your flock properly taken care of before the cold weather sets in. To begin with your houses went to be thoroughly cleaned, all the litter should be removed, then the house wants to be washed out from top to bottom, cleansing all the dust out of the corners. Following this hosing out, the house should be sprayed with a 3 to 5 per cent solution of coal tar disinfectant. The object of this disinfecting is to clean out all disease that might be in the house. At this time it is a very good plan to take your last hit at both lice and mites. To do this one wants to take into consideration just what pest he is treating, because each has a different method of breeding and living. For the lice it is necessary to treat each bird individually. The house liver and breeds on the birds, and no amount of spraying of the house will clean out lice. Either blue ointment, 20 per cent strength, or Sodium Floride—one part mived with two parts of road dust, will give good results. About 1 pound Sodium Floride will be sufficient for 100 hens. To rid yourself of mites the best plan is to spray your roosts, dropping slabs, in the vicinity around them, is essential at all times on a poultry ranch. Your ligning equipment should be gone over during this month regardless of whether it is electrical, gasoline or kerosene, with the view of being ready to put it into use about the first part of next month. Remember that in the poultry business feeding, breeding and cleanliness are the most important factors, and by having everything cleaned up for the winter you are starting your birds out in the best shape. STUDY NATIONAL TAXES AND FREIGHT RATES—FARM BUREAU SEEKS REVISION The American Farm Bureau decided at the Denver session to carefully scrutinize any plan which may be proposed for the revision of national taxation laws, as may be fostered by such efforts as the Nolan Bill proposed during the last session of Congress, and laws proposed for the repeal of the present excess profit tax. Several substitutes for the excess profit tax have been proposed by industrial interests for shifting this tax burden in a more or less degree to the individual producer and consumer. The Federation believes that the levy should not be shifted to the individual consumer for payment from his living wage, especially when it is noted big business does not seem especially oppressed through meeting excess profit taxes. Our excess tax is 40 per cent of all profit in excess of 20 per cent net profit upon investment. This tax in Great Britain is 60 per cent instead of 40.
