GARDEN GROVE BEATS DRAINAGE PROJECT District Overwhelmingly Beaten By The Voters. Receipt of the county tax bills a day or two before the election held at Garden Grove Monday to vote on the proposition of bonds for the Garden Grove Drainage district raised havoc with the project and the issue was overwhelmingly defeated. Drainage of the district is a dead issue so far as bonds are concerned. In proceedings preliminary to the voting of bonds an indebtedness amounting to approximately $7300 was incurred. A tax levy to cover this was included in the tax bill and was said to have disclosed to owners that the lands least benefitted by the drainage would bear the major portion of the expense. The expense charged up against the higher priced lands runs from $10 to $13 per acre, while the charge against lands in the heavy alkali districts, which would be the most benefitted, was little or nothing. The difference came in the assessed valuation of the two classes of property. With this discovery, owners of the higherpriced lands within the district got busy Monday morning, the day of the election, and succeeded in defeating the $100,000 bond issue. Had the project been carried through the citrus and other improved lands would have been charged up with from $100 to $200 per acre more than the lands to receive the greatest benefit under drainage, according to the statement of a Garden Grove man today. THE VELVET BEAN A GOOD FEED The velvet bean is grown very extensively by the farmers of the Southern States. It is a splendid feed for cows since they relish the seeds, pods, and green vines. When the beans in the pods are ground, they make a feed weighing about 1-2 pound per quart. The protein content of the velvet bean is quite high and when the meal is mixed with bran, the ration produces a splendid milk yield. It is rather remarkable the way this plant grows in sections of the South. Some farmers who grow it quite extensively contend it is as good a crop as can be grown for the feeding of dairy cows. They further state that the one great difficulty they experience is the harvesting of the vines which grow so profusely and become so twined that it is impossible to cut them with any modern machinery. The simple and profitable method as applied in California on various other crops, viz: "hogging them off" could no doubt be applied to the velvet bean in the swine industry since hogs relish this kind of feed as much as cattle. STILL A MYSTERY The purpose of the purchasers of the Pacific Electric Island in Newport harbor is still a secret. The secrecy surrounding the deal is causing much speculation as to what the buyers have in mind. There are those who believe that the Craig shipbuilding interests of Long Beach are concerned in the transaction and that there is a possibility of this concern attempting big industrial enterprises on the island. Others offer the suggestion that the Californians will be somewhat to many of our readers eggs from the ranch California are now in New York City and, but the still more remit they are bringing their prices, notwithstanding. The market quotation item was written we per dozen to $1.08 per piece. The reason for this 15 to 20 cents per from other sections of the extreme care in and shipping the product of fact this extreme Southern California begins with the unit "kind" and "quality" given the mother L produce eggs that are able" but eggs that even size, from whorous chicks can be alone these facts buern California must keepers."

With this discovery, owners of the higherpriced lands within the district got busy Monday morning, the day of the election, and succeeded in defeating the $100,000 bond issue. Had the project been carried through the citrus and other improved lands would have been charged up with from $100 to $200 per acre more than the lands to receive the greatest benefit under drainage, according to the statement of a Garden Grove man today. The district as organized included about 2400 acres and one of the best and most thorough drainage systems in the state was proposed, tilling to be laid underground altogether. Prof. W. W. Weir, drainage engineer of the soils department of the University of California, has been directed by the district to outline a bill for presentation to the coming legislature providing for the organization of drainage districts that will permit assessments according to benefit derived rather than on the basis of assessed valuation. It is possible that the present district organization will disincorporated and a new organization effected if the legislature passes a bill that will make it possible to assess the benefitted lands in proportion to the benefits derived. STATE DAIRY COMPETITION The College of Agriculture of the University of California will conduct a competition for dairy herds during the coming year in connection with the official testing of dairy cows for production of butterfat, in which work the College has been engaged for many years past. The object of the competition is to improve the production of the dairy cows of the State by creating a general interest in production tests among our dairy farmers and the adoption of modern methods of dairying in grade or common herds as well as in purebred herds. The competition has been rendered possible through the hearty co-operation of breeders of purebred dairy cattle and business firms interested in the advancement of our dairy industry who have subscribed a fund of over $3,825 for the award of prizes for records of production made by cows in the competition. A number of special prizes of purebred bull calves and trophies have likewise been donated in order to make the competition of general interest to dairy farmers and to insure a large participation in the game. The purpose of the purchasers of the Pacific Electric Island in Newport harbor is still a secret. The secrecy surrounding the deal is causing much speculation as to what the buyers have in mind. There are those who believe that the Craig shipbuilding interests of Long Beach are concerned in the transaction and that there is a possibility of this concern attempting big industrial enterprises on the island. Others offer the suggestion that the group of men responsible for the deal have visions of developing a big oil field on the island. In the absence of definite information one guess is as good as another. A local realtor had almost organized a Los Angeles syndicate for the purchase of the island when he received notice from the Pacific Electric that the island had been sold. Whether the new owners propose raising the island with material made available in the process of dredging is not known. One thing is certain, the owners have made no application to the harbor commission for dredge material. Covering of the island would mean an added source of revenue to the commission in further development work. The commission held its regular weekly meeting yesterday. No application for dredge material was before it. With the work necessary for diversion of the Santa Ana river from the bay to the ocean, nearing completion, it is expected that the next week or ten days will see operations in progress in the building of the dam at Bitter Point. It is probable that work will be taken up next week. The contractors have decided to blast the point and the material from this will be used in building the dam. NEWHOPE AFTER OIL Bringing to a head activities which have been in progress for six months in connection with a proposal that the Newhope district be thoroughly tested for oil, owners of land there were meeting at the Newhope school house to sign leases with an oil company. According to J. W. Henderson, owner of 120 acres in the district, and who, with J. W. Martin, owner of 130 acres, has been the prime mover in the proceedings, a geologist who has made an examination has reported that there are good prospects of obtaining oil. The ranchers, numbering approximately twenty, meeting at the Newhope house were ready to sign Poultry association, ifornia the member thoroughly instructed feed their hens and their hens to make can be shipped all York City, more away and still be dition upon arrival premium of from dozen above the egg west and western market.

"I propose to The production of milk and butter-fat by the cows in the competition will be determined by the system of semi-official testing of dairy cows. Supervisors of the dairy tests employed by the College will each month make two day tests of the cows entered and certify to their production of milk and butterfat for this period. In the case of grade herds, tests of one day's duration only are required. Tests for members of cow testing associations are made by the association tester, except twice during the record period, when supervisors of dairy tests regularly employed by the College will conduct the tests. There are some hundred and twenty-five owners of dairy cows in Orange county. From the monthly production records of several of the County dairy-men there is no reason why Orange county sow owners should not come in this competition for several of the prizes. At present there is a register for grade cows being compiled. Grade records made in this contest will be officially recorded in the register. The competition commenced Sept. 1, 1920, and will close Jan. 31, 1922. Entries will close April 1, 1921. Entry blanks and further information concerning the competition may be secured by calling at Orange County Farm Bureau. Anaheim Gazette per year, $1.50, payable in advance. CALIFORNIA EGGS It will be somewhat of a surprise to many of our readers to learn that eggs from the ranches of Southern California are now being shipped to New York City and, not alone that fact but the still more remarkable fact that they are bringing the top of the market prices, notwithstanding the long trip. The market quotations on the day this item was written were from 85 cents per dozen to $1.08 per dozen. The reason for this premium of from 16 to 20 cents per dozen over eggs from other sections of the country is the extreme care in grading, packing and shipping the product. As a matter of fact this extreme care with which Southern California eggs are handled begins with the unborn chick; the "kind" and "quality" of feed that is given the mother hen that she may produce eggs that are not only "hatchable" but eggs that are large and of even size, from which strong, vigorous chicks can be hatched; and not alone these facts but eggs from Southern California must be uniformly "good keepers". To insure this latter quality certain feeds have been found to contain the ingredients the best suited to these purposes and in the Co-operative Poultry association of Southern California the members are carefully and thoroughly instructed, both in what to feed their hens and what not to feed their hens to make them lay eggs that can be shipped all the way to New York City, more than 3,500 miles away and still be in such prime condition upon arrival as to command a premium of from 15 to 20 cents per dozen above the eggs from the middle west and western states in the same market. CONSOLIDATING TRIBES Consolidation of the three Indian agencies in Southern California under one superintendent, with headquarters at Riverside, will be affected soon as a result of the recent visit to California of Cato Sells, commissioner of Indian affairs, according to news received from Washington, D.C. Sells has been greatly interested in the welfare of the Mission Indians, as they are generally called, and has studied conditions for a long time with a view to their improvement. Exclusive of the Tule river jurisdiction the Mission Indians occupy 30 small reservations in Riverside, San Diego, and San Bernardino counties, besides those in Santa Ynez reservation. Up to last April these Indians, numbering about 2,800, were in charge of four superintendents. At that time the Malki superintendency was merged with the Soboba and Pala agencies. A considerable number of the Indians are not actually living on the reservations but make their homes among white farmers. The Campo, Pala and Soboba agencies will be consolidated under one superintendent, who will be stationed at Riverside, under the new plan. This will affect a substantial financial saving. It was stated, but it is said, this is not the most important consideration. The work on the various reservations has suffered, it is said, from lack of uniformity of policies under conditions essentially the same. A strong and tactful effort is to be made to advance the welfare of the Indians in a manner that will remove petty discontents and unite. M.W. Salscheider 133 N.

It has been found by experiment with thorough tests made in many of the larger flocks in Southern California, that the excessive use of cotton seed oil cake in the make-up of so called "egg mashers" is very detrimental to the quality of the egg both as a market egg and as a hatching egg. As one organization that specializes in the production of eggs of the very highest class—the Poultrymen's Cooperative Milling Association of Los Angeles—with its hundreds of members, has, for a number of years used no cotton seed meal in any of the products turned out for poultrymen. Recently the Poultry Producers of Southern California, Inc., issued a letter to each of its members warning them against the use of this form of protein. GERMAN VIEW OF MARNE BATTLE The German view of the progress of the first battle of the Marne is now revealed by the publication of a striking series of German wireless messages which were intercepted and decoded hour by hour during the fateful days of September, 1914, by the French Secret Service. The French Intelligence Department had secured the secret of the German code just before the battle. This series of messages from the former Kaiser himself when he visited Troyes on September 7, the turning point of the fight, and left on hearing adverse reports from Genreal Bulow, will prove of great value to war historians. They begin in triumphant and steady tones. "The German army is sweeping all before it." German headquarters had ordered the Third army to lead this advance southeast, with General Bulow next, and General von Kluck covering him inechelon. The contrary happened, and a long wireless from General von Kluck himself explains why he took on himself to change the battle disposition. "I propose to repulse the enemy as will affect a substantial financial saving, it was stated, but it is said, this is not the most important consideration. The work on the various reservations has suffered, it is said, from lack of uniformity of policies under conditions essentially the same. A strong and tactful effort is to be made to advance the welfare of the Indians in a manner that will remove petty discontents and unite. RAILROAD, MINE, FOREST PURCHASED BY HENRY FORD. Workers To Receive Wages, Bonus And Other Benefits. During the last two months, Henry Ford and the Ford Motor Company have purchased the Detroit, Toledo and Ironton Railroad, a 400,000 acre timber tract in Northern Michigan, and a coal mine in Kentucky. And it is rumored that other purchases are under consideration. Two thousand railroad workers are automatically made "Ford men." In the near future they will be permitted to share in the investment opportunity with the thousands of other Ford employees. The minimum wage system and bonus distribution will also apply to the railway men. The Detroit, Toledo and Ironton Railroad will soon be known by another name. Avoiding congested centers, the railway is a direct line to the coal fields of Southern Ohio and the West Virginia and Kentucky boundaries. Solid coal trains may be routed through Detroit without delay or interference. Timber from virgin forests of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan will be used to furnish lumber for Ford automobile bodies and other requirements. Another link added to the chain of Ford industries is the Ford saw mill, located just outside of Detroit. These acquisitions are wonderful links in the chain of Ford industries. Fewer outside organizations are being depended upon year by year. Already work on the Ford car and Fords tractor commences with the ore in Ford furnaces. Soon the coal will be transported from mines on the Ford railroad, and soon the timber will be cut from Ford virgin forests. Including these new additions, the direct Ford payroll now contains approximately 100,000 names.

The Nation's crop of beans will be 2,000,000 bushels or 18 per cent less than fast year and almost three-fourths of this decrease is credited to California by Federal authorities. The continued low price of beans, due to Oriental imports, caused a large reduction in acreage this year and this was followed in California by an unfavorable growing season, which materially reduced yields.
