In many cases these also supply a certain amount of grain, and both on this account and because of the fact that they place a variety of feed at the disposal of the dairymen, the system of feeding silage with dry roughness has a decided advantage over the one-crop feeding method, and yields larger and more economical returns from the dairy. The modern dairy cow is a heavy-producing animal, and in fact, a good dairy cow produces in a year as much edible food materials in her milk as half a dozen steers will produce in the form of meat, and she requires, therefore, a large supply of digestible nutrients in her daily ration, some of which must be in concentrated form for best results, so as to furnish as much nutrients as possible in a small bulk. The digestive apparatus of the cow is able to utilize bulky feed to a large extent, but the net nutritive effect of such feed is relatively low and maximum returns in production of milk and milk solids can only be secured by supplementing the coarse feed with certain amounts of concentrates. Carefully conducted experiments and practical feeding experience have fully established this fact during the past decade or two—the dairymen who are heavy feeders and of the best system adopted, like the returns received by ducts, sources of tance from markets etc. The feed item in the cost making up from 6% of the total consideration of keeping down is therefore ant factor in such pecially under p feed, labor and su.

This sum was reported as the exchange's total at its annual meeting held Monday at Fullerton. The association packing houses under this exchange are located thus—two at Anaheim, and one each in Fullerton, Placentia, Yorba Linda and La Habra. Charles Eygabroad of Anaheim was elected the exchange's representative on the board of the California Fruit Growers Exchange, which is the central association organization. Eygabroad succeeds F. N. Edwards of La Habra, who was chosen as the exchange's director of the Lemon By-Products company, which has its plant at Corona. It was recommended that Eygabroad be made a director of the Growers Supply Co. The directors of that concern, which is operated by the California Fruit Growers Exchange, are selected by the directors of the central exchange. S. W. McCulloch of Placentia, was elected president of the Northern Orange County Fruit Exchange; Charles Eygabroad, vice-president; H. Sullivan of Placentia, secretary. OIL COMPANY TO BLAME Negligence was placed at the door of the Standard Oil company by a coroner's jury which held an inquest at Huntington Beach over the body of George F. Evanson, 24, who died several hours after having been injured late Saturday afternoon, near the plant of the Holly Sugar company. According to testimony given at a small bulk. The digestive apparatus of the cow is able to utilize bulky feed to a large extent, but the net nutritive effect of such feed is relatively low and maximum returns in production of milk and milk solids can only be secured by supplementing the coarse feed with certain amounts of concentrates. Carefully conducted experiments and practical feeding experience have fully established this fact during the past decade or two: the dairymen who are heavy feeders and supply grain feeds for their cows, along with hay and succulent feeds, are the ones that are able to obtain the largest yields and the greatest profits from their dairies, without regard to the section of the state in which they reside. According to the plan of feeding dairy cows adopted by many leading dairymen in the state, the cows are fed a certain amount of "grain" (a term which according to common dairy usage is synonymous wi th grain feed, a concentrated feed, or "concentrates") per pound of milk produced, generally one pound for every four or five pounds of milk, but sometimes as much as a pound for every three pounds of milk is fed and recommended. It is evident that this way of guaging the amount of grain to be fed is open to criticism from the fact that the quality of the milk produced is not considered, and a cow yielding say 30 lbs., of milk would be entitled to six to ten pounds of grain, if this is fed in proportion of 1:5 or 1:3, respectively, whether the milk contained 3 per cent butterfat of 6 per cent. Milk of a high fat content has a high percent of total solids as well and more food energy is required for the elaboration of such milk than for milk of low contents of fat and total solids. evidently, therefore, if a ration of a pound of grain to say five pounds of milk is a correct one for milk containing a low percentage of fat it will be too low for a high percentage milk and vice versa. A common method of designating the amount of concentrates to be fed dairy cows adopted by dairymen in eastern and central states is to feed as many pounds of grain a day as the cows will yield butterfat in a week, or seven times the amount of butterfat produced in a day. It would seem that this method furnishes a more satisfactory standard for feeding grain to dairy cows than the rule commonly used by our farmers based on the amount of milk produced, although it is not quite as easily applied and calls of determin- OIL COMPANY TO BLAME Negligence was placed at the door of the Standard Oil company by a coroner's jury which held an inquest at Huntington Beach over the body of George F. Evanson, 24, who died several hours after having been injured late Saturday afternoon, near the plant of the Holly Sugar Company. According to testimony given at the inquest, Evanson suffered his fatal injury when struck by a length of oil well casing, which fell while being hoisted by a "jim pole" from a flatcar. A guy wire used to anchor the pole had been strung a distance above the railway tracks and fastened to a nearby telegraph pole. The stack of an approaching Southern Pacific freight train struck this wire, it is said, causing the pole to sway and the piece of well casing to be released. The proximity of the sugar factory with its noise of whirring machinery, was one cause of the accident, it was said. Workmen unloading the flatcar were unaware of the approaching freight train until the guy wire was struck by the locomotive. Young Evanson, son of Mrs. Ivy Evanson, of Fifteenth street, Huntington Beach, was employed as a day laborer by the Standard Oil company. He and his mother came to Huntington Beach from Whittier a month ago. Funeral services will be held at Whittier. Arrangements are being delayed pending the arrival of two of young Evanson's sisters from the east. The verdict stated that Evanson came to his death from "cerebral compression as a result of being knocked from a car while unloading casing for the Standard Oil Company." ANAHEIM GAZETTE WEARY WILL BE CAGED The "Weary Willies" and "box car tourists," now beginning to arrive in Southern California in increasing numbers to spend "the winter season," nad better steer shy of Orange county. County officials are beginning to cast speculative eyes in the direction of the old and for some time disused "road camp" cage, which has done yoeman service of yore in housing "vags" put to work by the county on roads. The old cage will be brought back into use as sure as shooting, provided C. E. Jackson, sheriff; John B. Cox, justice of the peace; and Theo. Lacey in charge of the jail have their way about it. These officials, eyeing the "road camp" cage, remember how effective it has been during the past winters in keeping down the influx of "vagrants" into Orange county. Under the "cage" system, the prisoners, instead of being locked up in jail for from 30 to 90 days—which is not considered a particular hardship by experienced "hooes"—will be sent out to a road camp in the hills where the county's highways, or better perhaps by-ways, need attention and get to work there until of the best system of feeding to be adopted, like the kind of cows kept, returns received for the dairy products, sources of feeding supplies, distance from markets, overhead expenses, etc. The feed is the largest single item in the cost of producing milk, making up from 50 per cent to 75 per cent of the total cost, and a careful consideration of ways and means of keeping down the feed cost is therefore a most important factor in successful dairying, especially under present day prices of feed, labor and supplies. WEALTH NO AID FOR POLITICAL FITNESS Newspaper goosip concerning the personal fortunes of the leading candidates for the presidency brings out interesting facts relating to the financial conditions of incumbents of the presidential office in the past. Newspaper correspondents who have made it a business to ascertain the facts suggests that Governor Cox is worth approximately $1,000,000 in cash and property. Senator Harding is credited with something like $200,000. These figures average up very well with the personal fortunes of incumbents of the presidential office in the past, though Governor Cox shows a more substantial aggregation of wealth than any man who ever held the presidential office. Washington is credited with being the wealthiest president, with a fortune of about $800,000. Theodore Roosevelt came next in point of this world's goods with $600,000. James Buchanan was a bachelor with about $400,000 of savings, while President Wilson and Mrs. Wilson are credited with the same sum. Grover Cleveland, unmarried, was worth $60,000, but after his marriage to Frances Folsom their joint estate totaled $300,000. Zachary Taylor had an estimated estate of $300,000; Van Buren, $200,000; and Rutherford B. Hayes, $250,000. Benjamin Harrison had a matter of $200,000. These were the wealthiest presidents. There were some who were very indifferently provided with assets. Thomas Jefferson is said to have been without fortune; William Henry Harrison had no estate; Andrew Johnson was in the same situation; President Grant had small means when he went to the White House, and at one to a total of $174,000 or an average of four cents per communicant. In addition, pledges for the year's operation of each respective church and mission will be made. Following this, a series of preaching missions will be held throughout the diocese from November 28, to December 12, culminating in an "Offering-for-Service." Schools and conferences for the training of Sunday school teachers are to be established in each county, each to be in charge of an expert on religious instruction. POISON SIRUPS EFFECTIVE AGAINST THE ARGENTINE ANT Noah built an ark for himself and his family when the floods came, and the Argentine ants do something quite as effective and a great deal more unique when a flood menaces their home. They cluster together and form a compact ball, which floats along the top of the water until it comes in contact with a secure resting place. That found the cooperative spirit disappears, each again becomes an individual looking out for "number one" first and always. In forming a ball the ants in immature stages cluster in the center of the mass, while the queens and workers form the outer portion. As the ball enlarges by the addition of other workers that have been struggling alone in the water, it gradually revolves. During its voyage on the water it keeps revolving slowly by the outside workers striving continually to reach the top of the ball. This permits air to reach the interior. The ball method of traveling is only one of the many ways by which the Argentine ant gains new territory.

Under the "cage" system, the prisoners, instead of being locked up in jail for from 30 to 90 days—which is not considered a particular hard ship by experienced "hoooes"—will be sent out to a road camp in the hills where the county's highways, or better perhaps by-ways, need attention and set to work there until their time is up. The old cage, which is now in the county yard, is a demountable affair with heavy steel screen sides, a portable corrugated tin roof, and canvas flaps which are let down to keep out the rain or chill at night. A new stove will be needed for this impromptu camping house, but otherwise the equipment is intact. "I most certainly am opposed merely to sentencing these 'vags' to the county jail where they remain idle, and eat up the county's money," said Justice Cox. "On the other hand I am also very opposed to giving the 'vags' and 'bums' who are picked up in this district, 'floaters'—that is to say, to turn them loose on condition that they get out of the county. Once a county gets the reputation of 'floating' its vagrants they come in ever-increasing numbers. To my mind the most severe penalty you can give to the 'vag' is to make him work." Sheriff Jackson made this statement: "I agree with Justice Cox in the matter. I believe if 'vags' are arrested and convicted in sufficient numbers to make the 'gang' possible supervisors will establish a road camp and have the county benefit by the work of those men. It was done here before a number of years ago with a good deal of success, and I believe that it can be done again very profitably." Deputy Sheriff Lacy said: "The road gang is the surest way in the world to reduce the number of vagrants. If we send them out for thirty days of hard labor, picking rock or shoveling, they will all soon avoid Orange county as they would poison. In addition it offers a fine opportunity for the supervisors to get a great deal of necessary road improvement out of the way."

The ball method of traveling is only one of the many ways by which the Argentine ant gains new territory. From Texas to the Atlantic, through out the South, this pest has now established itself, to the injury of the nurserymen, the trucker, and the orange grower. Farmers' Bulletin 1101, recently issued by the United States Department of Agriculture, gives methods of controlling the Argentine ant found to be effective. Where the infestation has reached proportions of any size, municipal control measures are recommended. The best and most effective of these is use of tin-can containers for ant-poison sirups. As the ants prefer to climb for their food, these cans are hung near ant trails going up trees and walls. The sirup attracts and at the same time destroys the pest. FARM BUREAU HOLDS POTATO GROWERS' DAY Potato growers of Orange county are invited to attend the Potato Growers Field Day today at Van Nuys. It will be called at Mr. J. L. Olsen's place on Erwin Street about one mile east of town at 10 a.m. Several potato ranches will be visited showing methods of planting, potato diseases, irrigation, cultivation, etc. Experts will be present to discuss potato problems. Luncheon will be served at noon. Orange County growers should leave at 7:30 a.m. in order to arrive at the place of demonstration on time.

STATE BOARD MAY PUT TAX IN TAXI The State Board of Equalization, in its report to the legislature on tax matters, will recommend that means be provided to tax the proceeds of automobile freight and passenger lines. State revenues have suffered, the report, which is now nearing completion, sets forth, by reason of business diverted to automobile traffic from rail lines. Rail lines pay a tax on their receipts to the state; automobile lines do not. The report says: A conservative estimate based on information which at best is very incomplete shows that the state's annual loss in revenue from such diversions runs into large sums. A graduated scale of licenses, based on gross receipts, would seem timely and warranted, or, better still, by constitutional amendment, an extension of the present gross receipts tax on public service industries to cover all public carriers. New taxation probably will be needed to meet increased expenditures, the report declares, and continues: There seems no doubt the state tax revenues will increase from present sources, because of increased rates to public utilities, but present information would seem to indicate that the increases will not be sufficient to cover the increased needs of the state. Should such prove to be the case and a deficiency occur the only methods at present provided for additional revenue are the ad valorem tax on all property or the revision of public utility and corporation taxes, or both. PLANS ANNOUNCED BY EPISCOPALIANS Announcement has been made of plans for an extensive campaign to be carried out in the ninety Episcopal parishes and missions in the 8 southern counties of California, composing the diocese of Los Angeles, as a part of the nation-wide campaign of the Episcopal church. The campaign will extend to December 12, when it is probable there will be realized the meaning to the statement, "When the Episcopal church wakes up, then look out!" attributed to Rilly Sunday by Dean MacCormick of St. Paul's Pro-Cathedral. Executive headquarters of the campaign are at 523 South Olive street, Santa Ana. Bishop Johnson, Bishop Conjutor Stevens and Executive F. P. Bugbee are directing the campaign as a whole. On the afternoon of Sunday, Nov. 21, the every-member canvass will be conducted, at which time, pledges are to be made covering the missionary work for 1921 in the diocese, and for the world's needs, the quota amounting States last year, and only 70,000 dwelling houses built. Could the acute shortage in housing, the country over, be put more strikingly than in this matter-of-fact statement of the news dispatches? This is a condition that cannot be tolerated indefinitely. If it were, it would strike ruinously at the very heart of sacred, ordered, pure home life. To preserve the highest and best home ideals, in the midst of the complexities, distractions and demoralizations of modern life, there must be suitable privacy in living quarters; there must be cleanliness and proper hygienic conditions; there must be physical attractiveness about the place of habitation, else marriage, in its mere physical aspects, becomes irksome and unattractive, fruitful sources of irritation and disagreement in the home arise and the ultimate result would be a calamitous breaking down of home affections and destroying of the sanctity of the family hearthstone. A million weddings in a year should be supplemented by an equal number of new houses, if that many were required to accommodate the million new families thus launched. To set so many couples adrift without suitable dwelling places would be as though magnificent ships were built and launched and sent into the open sea with no place to anchor and no friendly port to receive and shelter them. ANAHEIM WOMAN INJURED Mrs. Blanche Newton, 30, of Anaheim, was at the Community hospital Santa Ana Tuesday receiving treatment for serious, though it was thought not fatal injuries suffered in a collision between an automobile in which she was riding and one driven by A.

N. Newton was driving north on Grand avenue. With Newton in his machine were his wife and two children, one of them a baby of three months. The collision resulted in Newton's car being hurled off the highway. It landed upside down against a walnut tree alongside the road, after cutting in two a guy wire attached to a power line pole. The three-months-old baby was found lying under the running board of Newton's car, unharmed. The faces of the two children were covered with mud. They were both badly shaken up, but escaped with minor bruises. Newton was severely bruised. Mrs. Newton was rushed to the Community hospital was rushed to the Com to be suffering from a badly mangled and lacerated right leg. She also suffered severe injuries of the right side and left shoulder. At the hospital today it was stated her condition was hopeful. Further examination may develop that bones were broken, however. The accident was spectacular. Cox said today that as he approached the intersection he saw Newton's car coming from his (Cox's) right: Seeing that a collision was apparently unavoidable, Cox swerved sharply to the north, not in time, however, to avoid a crash. Newton, Cox said, instead of swerving to the east on Seventeenth as Cox thought would be the case, continued straight north. The front end of Cox's car struck the rear of the Newton machine. It was said that mud alongside Grand avenue at the point of-the crash was largely responsible for Newton's car plunging from the road and turning turtle against the walnut tree. of increased membership dues to finance the projects for the next year. Farm Advisor Wahlberg reports that most of the County Farm Bureau in the State have found the need of raising their membership dues for 1921. At a recent Farm Advisor Conference in Berkeley, it was learned that many counties have decided to set a membership of $5.00 on the family basis, in which the wife has equal voice at the Center Meetings with the husband. A NATION OF NIMRODS This is a nation of Nimrods. There are 7,000,000 hunters in the United States, according to the chief United States game warden in the Biological Survey, United States Department of Agriculture. This estimate was made from reports on the number of game licenses issued by the various States. In 1919, 3,600,000 State licenses were issued, and in addition it is estimated that 3,500,000 hunters are exempted under the various State provisions. The returns of the States from licenses was approximately $4,500,000, all of which was expended by the States in administration of State laws for the protection of game. This sum permits the employment of approximately 2,000 salaried State game wardens and 600 fee wardens. The congressional appropriation for Federal game-warden service for protection of migratory birds is $142,500, which permits the employment of only 29 salaried wardens." At its recent meeting in Ottawa the International Association of Fish Game, and Conservation Commissioners adopted a resolution calling for the issuance of Federal licenses for hunting migratory birds.

It was said that mud alongside Grand avenue at the point of the crash was largely responsible for Newton's car plunging from the road and turning turtle against the walnut tree. Newton's car was badly damaged. It will require approximately $400 to repair the machine, it was estimated. Cox's car was comparatively slightly damaged and was driven away on its own power. FARM BUREAU HANDICAPPED WITH SMALL DUES If an organization is to accomplish results on projects it has started out to do, it must have sufficient financial backing to meet the necessary expenses connected therewith. The Orange County Farm Bureau is alive to the many legislative and economic problems before the farmers of the county, state and nation. It has taken up several of these problems and assisted materially in their consideration but in more than one instance the progress of the work was hindered by the lack of sufficient funds. If the farmers of the land, through the Farm Bureau organization, are to put themselves on the same basis with other organizations and meet the big issues before them, they must raise funds to work with. The active committees need money for expenses, readlroad, attorneys' fees, stationery, postage, etc. The Farm Bureau has planned a number of important projects for the coming year; Water Conservation, Drainage, Fertilizer Standardization, Dairy Improvement, Cow Testing Associations, Field Demonstrations. The Directors at their next meeting November 12thwill consider the matter fee wardens. The congressional appropriation for Federal game-warden service for protection of migratory birds is $142,500, which permits the employment of only 29 salaried war-dens." At its recent meeting in Ottawa the International Association of Fish Game,and Conservation Commissioners adopted a resolution calling for the issuance of Federal licenses for hunting migratory birds. The recommendation called for licenses in the form of special stamps to be issued by postmasters and attached to State licenses. It was estimated that the revenue from such licenses would amount to between $1,000,000 and $2,000,000,which could be used for the protection of game. NEW SCHEDULE OF CHARGES The Motor Transit Company, operating between Los Angeles and various points in Southern California and said to be the largest auto stage passenger carrier in the state, was today allowed by the Railroad Commission to install a new schedule of charges. It will have the effect of increasing rates 10 per cent. The company asked for authority to make a 26 per cent increase. The rates allowed today are to be continued in effect for 6 months during which time the company will be required to keep an accurate and comprehensive record of its revenue and expenses to enable the Commission to determine whether the rates are to become permanent. Today's order allows the company to cancel all round trip fares and other special reduced rate tickets. Rev. J. A. Geissinger, the new pastor of the M. E. church, will speak to the chamber of commerce at the regular meeting next Monday night. A count of the ballots indicates that there are a few democrats still left in Anaheim, but they are almost as scarce as republicans in Texas.
