NOTES FROM OIL FIELDS The Union Oil Company continues to carry the bulk of the development work at Richfield, this company having no less than 20 wells drilling. Of the eight wells drilling on the Chapman property No. 5 is the deepest and is drilling in hard shell at 3775 feet; Chapman No. 4 is in a nice-looking oil sand at 3500 feet, and is showing up strong. No. 7 is close to 3700 feet in sandy shale. Other activities of the company are progressing as follows at the depth given: Thompson-Goodwin No. 2, 2150 feet, conglomerate, drilling; J. W. Newell No. 1, 3125, shale and shell, drilling; Towell No. 3, 3350 brown sandy shale, drilling; McFadden No. 1, 1700, hard sand, drilling; Dickson No. 1, 3625, fine sand, drilling; Yorba No. 1, 3650, gray sand drilling; Sheppard No. 1, 4265, gray sand, cleaning out and drilling; Dorsey No. 1, standing cemented at 3180, ready to drill out; Placentia-Orchard No. 1, 1800, hard sand, going slow; Yorba Linda group, spuddle in and started drilling Monday. The Union's producers, Chapman No. 1 and 3, Morse Nos. 1 and 2, McFadden, Towell and Coyle are all holding up nicely. The great Chapman gusher has been holding steadily for the past month at 860 barrels. Morse No. 2 continues at 1350 feet to be one of the big wells of the district. Thompson-Goodwin No. 1 is a good well at 375 barrels. The Amalgamated Oil Company's Potter No. 2 is proving to be one of the hardest propositions in the Richfield area. is showing lots of oil and gas and will be the next producer. No. 6 is rigging up for the rotary. Tonner No. 9 is drilling in the shale at 3100 feet and is showing exceptionally good. Tonner No. 10 is drilling at 2125 feet in shale. No's. 11 and 12 are new rigs; also No. 13. The General Petroleum has made locations for new wells up to No. 23, the new locations running north and west on the property. General Petroleum now has 12 strings of tools running in the Richfield district and started a number of new wells this week. McKracken No. 1, a new well, is drilling at 400 feet. Thompson 4-A is making hold at 400 feet. Group 2-1 stands cemented at 3170 feet. Group 3-1 is redrilling at 3200 feet. Group 4-2 is after shutting off water at 3145 feet, is going ahead drilling. Group 5-1 is testing out water at 3690 feet. After standing cemented for a week the Richfield-Yorba plans on drilling out the cement at 2900 feet, bottom of the hole, and making a water test for bottom water. Should the water not be shut off a request will be made to continue the drilling and shut off later. As the well has been looking rather good the water shut-off is attracting more than passing interest. Four oil companies whose properties join at a common point and corner all have rigs up and will drill at Huntington Beach. The four companies whose properties join are the Amalgamated, West Whittier, Standard and Texcal. The four rigs are so close together that it is said that if one should blow or fall down it would take the other three with it. in calcium (limestone) that everyone needs in good working boiled only 20 to water.

A fishing job at 900 feet for lost drill pipe has held this well up for more than a month. The Amaigamated's Breen 1-A now drilling at 2532 is showing quite a bit of oil and gas and looks good. Hard conglomerate is preventing any speed from being made at Mann No. 1. During the past week only 20 feet of hole was made, bringing the depth down to 675 feet. The Bixby Ranch Syndicate well is now drilling in the brown sandy shale at 3100 feet and is showing some elight indications of oil. Some real progress is being made on the Clark well at Richfield. Most of the eight-inch pipe has been recovered and drilling by the few remaining joints and the six-inch is now going nicely at 300 feet. On drilling out the cement and testing out the water at 1750 feet in Travis No. 1, the Fullerton Oil Company finds that the water has not been shut off and another cementing is being arranged for. At 2441 feet the Placentia Oil Company is back in the conglomerate after making a nice run in clay and sand. Drilling is now expected to go slow until a change occurs in the formation. Pat Adams, former Standard Oil superintendent, is making a showing for himself drilling the Placentia-Pacific well. The log this week shows 1100 feet of hole. The Placentia-Richfield-Central is now one of the deep test wells drilling in the Richfield district. At 3850 feet the well is drilling and shows brown sandy shale. The sandy shale is showing a little gas, with only a slight showing of oil as yet. The drilling is going good, however, and will go on in search of the deep sands. Just at the point where it looked like something good was about to be struck a string of tools was lost and Cannon Oil Company... The Placentia-Richfield County now one of the deep test wells drilling in the Richfield district. At 3850 feet the well is drilling and shows brown sandy shale. The sandy shale is showing a little gas, with only a slight showing of oil as yet. The drilling is going good, however, and will go on in search of the deep sands. Just at the point where it looked like something good was about to be struck a string of tools was lost and the Santa Ana Canyon Oil Company has a fishing job on at 3925 feet. Drilling deeper on the Selby-Root Hogue Oil Company's Dominguez No. 1 is now at 2650 feet and showing lots of rich looking sandy shale. Travis No. 1 is about ready to commence drilling. Drilling by the Western Union on the Robbins still continues in the hard stuff, the conglomerate holding up the work at 1825 feet. The Petroleum Development Company finished up Bradford Bros. No. 1 at 3650 feet and got a 35-barrel well. Bradford No. 3 failed to get a shutoff at 3150 feet and is due for a second cementing. Bradford Bros. No. 3 is rigging up for the rotary. Bradford Community is also rigging up for the rotary, to resume drilling at 3645 feet. The usual good drilling was made on the Richfield-Consolidated last week. The log shows 2300 feet and drilling in brown shale. The General Petroleum still continues its wonderful development in Brea canyon and will soon have another big well ready to bring in. Tonner No. 5, now drilling at 2050 feet, adults as well. It needs to be supplemented by plenty of milk, eggs, and other vegetables besides potatoes. "Spring fever," or the tired-out feeling that comes at the end of each winter nutrition experts lay to the lack of sufficient fruits and vegetables in the winter diet. Certain it is that many persons have an unusual craving for "greens" in the spring which they probably would not have if meals during the winter included and abundance of vegetables, and when vegetables and fruits are entirely lacking in the late winter, as in some northern regions, severe illness is often noted. Preparing the familiar kinds of vegetables in more appetizing ways that are prehaps new to the family and teaching the children to eat kinds that they are prejudiced against are at least two ways in which the housekeeper can solve her problem of what to have for dinner in winter. Moreover, many persons make the mistake of cooking vegetables too long. This makes those with delicate flavors tasteless, develops strong flavors too much, destroys the agreeable texture of some, causes others to lose their attractive coloring, and in most cases cooks out too large a proportion of the mineral salts, one thing which makes vegetables especially valuable as food. If the strong ones, such as onions, are cooked in a rather large quantity of water in an uncovered vessel, they will have a more delicate flavor. The following ways of cooking some of the winter vegetables are recommended by home economics specialists of the United States Department of Agriculture. Cabbage has long been a winter standby, but many persons do not like it because it is often cooked until it is a limp, colorless mass. It is generally one of the cheapest of the winter vegetables, and also one of the richest Cheapest ing. about 10 of cover crew today practi A large num have been nally narowin a native ann and vetch. of informati methods fo winter cove lated, so th citrus grew reasonably y results with still the sear ing crops, p possibilities the seed in under way, clover rece agricultural Of more summer crop more room line than date the n veloped is Whippocrew that varied beans will which will Using t double cow is the moo and it has Perhaps ANAHEIM GAZETTE and will: the rigging No. 9 is sweet and mild.

It should be boiled only 20 to 30 minutes, in salted water. It may then be seasoned with salt, pepper, and butter or cream; or, scalloped with cheese, it makes a substantial dish, suitable for the main dish at lunch or supper. Scalloped Cabbage and Cheese 1-2 medium sized cabbage; 2 tablespoons butter or other fat; 2 tablespoons flour; 1 cup milk; 1-2 teaspoon salt; Pepper as desired; 3-4 cup grated cheese. Wash the cabbage thoroughly, put it into boiling salted water, and cook for 20 or 30 minutes. Drain it, and keep the water in which it has been cooked for use in soup, if desired. Make a white sauce from the butter, flour, milk, salt, and pepper, and stir into it the grated cheese. In a greased baking-dish place alternate layers of the cabbage and sauce, cover the top with bread crumbs that have been combined with a little melted butter or other fat, and bake for 15 minutes, or until the crumbs are browned. Onions are another rich source of body-building mineral substances. To suit most persons they, too, need to be cooked in such a way that their flavor becomes milder rather than stronger. Here is a recipe for an appetizing soup, easy to make and so hearty that, with a substantial dessert and plenty of bread and butter, it will be nough for luncheon or supper. Onion Soup With Meat. 1 large onion; 1 1-2 tablespoons butter or other fat; 1 1-2 pints milk, half water, and half milk, or water alone; salt and pepper as desired. Peel the onion under water to prevent the volatile substance from getting into the eyes, cut it into small pieces and cook it slowly and carefully in the fat. When the onion is crops, indirect feeding of the trees by stimulating the growth of the green manure crop. But the cover crop has its limitations. Its success is very intimately bound up with available supplies of irrigation water, particularly with summer growing crops. Moreover, for success the cover crop demands considerable direct sunlight, an impossibility in old orchards where the ground is largely shaded. And on certain soils and in certain districts entirely satisfactory cover crops have not yet been found. Orchard cover crops will not solve the organic matter problem, though they will do much to furnish this much needed substance. Animal manures furnish an almost ideal source of available organic matter. The big subsidiary purchasing organization of the Exchange last year handled a half million dollars worth of animal manures. Today Southern California citrus growers are purchasing manures in Imperial Valley, Arizona, Nevada and Utah, and are even considering bringing it from Idaho and Montana. But supplies from these sources cannot last forever. Already the end is in sight. Moreover, a decided movement is evident for farmers of these outlying districts to retain their manures at home. With manure prices sky high—so high, in fact, that many growers are wondering how they can afford to longer purchase them even though available in sufficient quantity—nas come a pronounced tendency toward greater conservation and economy in their use. The old wasteful methods of application are being done away with. Surface spreading is giving way to underground application and better methods of storage and handling are being developed all the while. Purchasing by analysis has come to be the rule rather than the exception as it was five or six years ago. off for market and the fertilizer used on neighboring orchards. Many growers feel that the value of the manure thus secured would greatly exceed the cost of shipping the feed in, and certainly the best place for manure to be made is near the point of use. Other means of solving the organic matter problem will no doubt be devised in the future, but the writer feels that the last one mentioned, namely, greater diversification, is perhaps the most promising. A greater utilization of all possible methods will no doubt effect its solution, and solved it must be if the citrus industry is to endure. NEW EQUIPMENT ON SANTA FE The Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railway system is receiving 30 new refrigerator cars a day, and delivery by the manufacturers at that rate will be kept up until the middle of January, 1921, when 2,500 cars will have been received. The new equipment will relieve the car shortage to a considerable degree, as the bulkheads and ice bunkers are collapsible, making it possible to increase the loading space from 20 to 25 per cent when the cars are used for products which do not require refrigeration. Another improvement in the construction of the new refrigerator car is a permanent floor rack six inches high to keep the contents off the floor; and to give better protection in winter and better circulation in summer. These 2,500 refrigerator cars with 500 new coal cars and 50 new locomotives which have just been added to the Santa Fe's list of equipment cost approximately $18,000,000. This is three times as much as the company would have paid for the same equipment the year before the United States entered the World War. ORGANIC MATTER WANTED BY GROWERS Recouping Soil Fertility by Fertilizer Is A Necessity. The outstanding lesson learned in a half century of raising citrus fruits in Southern California is the necessity for recouping soil fertility through the regular and liberal use of fertilizers. And that citrus growers have learned this lesson well is attested by the fact that annual expenditure for fertilizing materials in Southern California has long since passed the million dollar mark. Sufficient information was long ago accumulated to prove conclusively that of transcendent importance in the maintenance of citrus orchard soils in good fertility is organic matter. In fact, elaborate fertilizer experiments conducted over a period of years, coupled with the experience of hundreds of growers extending back over two decades, have apparently indicated that of all the fertilizer elements which have been used in the past only two have given definite and measurable results, namely, organic matter and notrogen. Not the least interesting feature in this connection is the fact that these two are practically always most intimately associated, which makes it possible to say without fear of contradiction that the future of the whole citrus industry is absolutely dependent upon the securing of an adequate supply of organic matter. Where is this organic matter to be secured? Cheapest is the cover crop. Beginning about 15 years ago the growing of cover crops for organic matter is practiced on thousands of acres. Onion Soup With Meat. 1 large onion; 1 1-2 tablespoons butter or other fat; 1 1-2 plums milk, half water, and half milk, or water alone; salt and pepper as desired. Peel the onion under water to prevent the volatile substance from getting into the eyes, cut it into small pieces and cook it slowly and carefully in the fat. When the onion is tender increase the heat and brown the onion, stirring it all the time to prevent burning. Add the milk or other liquid and seasoning, bring the soup to the boil, and serve poured over a piece of toasted bread. If desired, especially if no milk is used, sprinkle the toast generously with grated Swiss or American cheese. The use of manure substitutes in the form of inert organic material, so devoid of bacteria that its decay stopped ages ago, is rapidly increasing in extent. Peat and muck are now being mined in large quantities and shipped to citrus growers for use as fertilizer. In search for other sources of suitable forms of organic matter, citrus growers of recent years have become large consumers of bean straw, spoiled alfalfa hay and other materials of a bulky nature and analyzing from one to two per cent nitrogen, such as cotton balls and the like. Hundreds of tons of bean straw are yearly used as manure substitutes, and with excellent results, this material having been found about twice as valuable in fertilizing elements as the usual run of stable manure. Alfalfa hay has about the same or even a little higher fertilizing value and is rapidly coming into greater use. But the supply of those materials varies enormously from year to year, as does the price. Three years ago more than three times as much bean straw was produced as is available this present season. And three years ago alfalfa hay could be purchased at half the price at which it can be had today. And the higher the price the more valuable do these materials become to the livestock man who can utilize their feeding value and then recover from 50 to 70 percent of their fertilizer value in the form of manure. Biennial sweet clover, Melilotus alba, produces a heavy tonnage of green stuff and is now being grown on low lying lands where water is cheap, the forage cut and used for fertilizer on orchards. Here seems to be a promising means of solving the problem of utilizing cheaper waste lands for the growing of organic matter to be used on citrus orchards. All the promising plants furnishing large quantities of organic matter should be given a trial along this line, including certain of our vigorous growing lupines, sesbania and other crops.

County Clerk and ex-officio Clerk of the Board of Supervisors of the County of Orange, State of California. No. 11823 feature in this connection is that these two are practically always most intimately associated, which makes it possible to say without fear of contradiction that the future of the whole citrus industry is absolutely dependent upon the securing of an adequate supply of organic matter. Where is this organic matter to be secured? Cheapest is the cover crop. Beginning about 15 years ago the growing of cover crops for organic matter is today practiced on thousands of acres. A large number of cover crop plants have been given exhaustive trial, finally narrowing down to two in number, a native annual clover, Mellilotus indica and vetch. A large and valuable mass of information relative to the best methods for growing and handling winter cover crops has been accumulated, so that at the present time the citrus grower who desires can be reasonably certain of obtaining good results with a green manure crop. But still the search for better winter growing crops goes on. Perhaps the best possibilities in sight are purple vetch, the seed industry of which is now well under way, and the new annual sweet clover recently developed at the Iowa agricultural experiment station. Of more recent development is the summer crop. Unquestionably, there is more room for development along this line than with the winter crop. To date the most satisfactory crop developed is the cow pea, particularly the Whippoorwill, although it may well be that varieties of soy beans and velvet beans will be developed or introduced which will prove even better. Using two cover crops a year, or double cover cropping as it is called, is the most recent development of all and it has many points in its favor. Perhaps the next development will be a closer study of fertilizing cover stuff and is now being grown on low lying lands where water is cheap, the forage cut and used for fertilizer on orchards. Here seems to be a promising means of solving the problem of utilizing cheaper waste lands for the growing of organic matter to be used on citrus orchards. All the promising plants furnishing large quantities of organic matter should be given a trial along this line, including certain of our vigorous growing lupines, sesbania and other crops. Perhaps the ultimate solution—certainly one of the most fundamental and desirable—is greater diversification in farming. Southern California agriculture, and particularly the citrus industry, is today the victim of too intense specialization. The raising of livestock—dairying, swine raising, and feeding beef cattle—has until recently been a very minor part of the agriculture of Southern California. Here and there may be found growers who have gone into livestock raising in order to meet the fertilizer requirements of their trees. At least a half dozen dairies are operated in connection with citrus orchards, purely for organic matter. The dairy cow makes a good partner for the citrus tree. Swine raising has been adopted by a few and with excellent results. Hogs and orange, if properly handled, make a successful combination. Of recent years has come the slogan, "A hen to the tree." Poultry manure is generally regarded as perhaps the best for citrus trees, and many growers are now linking up the hen and the orange or lemon to good advantage. The most recent suggestion along lines of greater diversification is the establishing of stock feeding yards in various parts of the citrus districts where feeder stock could be finished No. 11823 Treasury Department Office of Comptroller of the Currency Washington, D.C., August 27, 1920 WHEREAS, by satisfactory evidence presented to the undersigned, it has been made to appear that "The Golden State National Bank of Anaheim" in the City of Anaheim, in the County of Orange and State of California, has compiled with all the provisions of the Statutes of the United States, required to be compiled with before an association shall be authorized to commence the business of banking; Now, therefore I.
