MEMBERSHIP DRIVE DURING JANUARY Farm Bureau Sets 2000 Goal. Plans are being outlined by the Membership Committee for a thorough campaign during the month of January. Center committees will be appointed to take charge of the drive in each center. The territory will be systematically divided and a committee of two put in charge of each division. Every farmer in the county will be solicited to join the ranks of the organization which is working for the interests of agriculture and rural communities, in the county, state and nation. Through the Farm Bureau Federation, the farmer will obtain a representative hearing in our legislative halls. The program of the State Farm Bureau for the coming year is outlined in the following: 1. The co-operation of the California Farm Bureau Federation with the Agricultural Extension Service and the United States Department of Agriculture on projects and departments dealing with educational and demonstrational work. 2. The development of the livestock industry on special lines relating to better breeding, purebred stock, combating diseases and marketing. 3. The development of the citrus industry with special relation to co-operation for industrial protection on tariffs, transportation improvement and better freight rates, fertilizer supply and such other assistance as this department may determine. 4. The development of community improvement projects relating to bettermeuts within and without the already expired since last June be kept up, it will mean that the jail year of 1920-21 will show an average of 52 prisoners a month, or 624 for the year. This will be the greatest of any year since 1917-18, when 745 prisoners were held by Orange county. This would be an increase of 12 per cent in the crime of the county over the year 1919-20, and an increase of 10 per cent over the year 1918-19. Thus there will have been more crime, if this year's average continues, than during the last "wet" year. The following figures of the prisoners confined in the jail during the past four years furnish material for a very interesting comparison. Year. Prisoners. 1916-17 .947 1917-18 .745 1918-19 .565 1919-20 .438 1920-21 .624 *Estimated on present figures. According to Lacy, who has been compiling the figures for a number of years, and who is a close student of criminal conditions and the causes of crime, the principal reason for jail increases or decreases is purely an economic one. Lacy gave his views as follows: "The variation of the number of prisoners handled in various years by jails throughout the country is almost invariably due to economic conditions. When times are good, we have a minimum of prisoners. When times are hard we have a great number." "There has been a great deal of discussion about the relation of prohibition to the crime question, and not very much of it has been pertinent. Prohibition has very little to do with the matter. It can merely be summed up in this: When there are hard times and men are idle, there is more drink- CALDER FLAYS PAY FOR HIGH Says Proposal for Re Comes Too Late To The Senator William M York; lays the blank shortage and high ely at the door of Palmer.

To work on problems of county and state co-operative markets. 7. A careful study of irrigation and drainage needs of the state with special reference to conservation and co-operation by the Federation on district projects found worthy after due investigation. 8. The development of a deciduous fruit department based on proper financing and intercounty co-operation. The development of plot demonstrations on fruit and fruit pest problems. The intelligent development of a bud selection policy and demonstrational work on pruning. 9. The development of a department of education seeking primarily the improvement of agricultural teaching in rural schools; the dissemination of information relative to the cost of production of agricultural products and data with reference to distribution costs of agricultural products. 10. The development of a statistical and publicity department for reaching the membership with information regarding the county, state and national Farm Bureaus and the progress of the various departments of the federation. 11. The development of a strong department for handling public utilities problems, including transportation, traffic, telephone, power and other utility problems centering in the work of the state Railroad Commission. 12. To continue a legislative department program dealing with state and national legislation on laws relating especially to agriculture. 13. The development of a dairy department with special reference to breeding testing and marketing. GOOD SEED PARAMOUNT IN POTATO PATCH Cover Crops Prove Essential to Best Returns. At the recent Farm Bureau Potato Growers' demonstration held at Van Nuys two outstanding features in potato growing were emphasized—first good seed and second, proper treatment of soil. Most failures are due to poor seed or poor cultural conditions. One cannot be too particular about the quality jails throughout the country is almost invariably due to economic conditions. When times are good, we have a minimum of prisoners. When times are hard we have a great number. "There has been a great deal of discussion about the relation of prohibition to the crime question, and not very much of it has been pertinent. Prohibition has very little to do with the matter. It can merely be summed up in this: When there are hard times and men are idle, there is more drinking; the men have time for it. When times are prosperous, drunkenness is confluent to chronic cases. These cases are still coming into the jail, even in these dry days. Those men who go on a chronic drunk every so often still manage to get something to drink, and always will just as the dope fiend can still get done if he is insistent enough to learn all the underground sources of supply. But to all practical intents and purposes so far as the great body of citizens is concerned, drunkenness is a thing of the past. "Another thing that many people overlook is the fact that the number of major crimes, robberies, murders, bad check cases, and felonies in general, remain about the same, year in year out. Neither economic conditions nor prohibition has any effect on such cases, as the motives of such crimes are not concerned in these subjects, but lie in a defect of character, or in motives of passion or brutality or deprivacy. "What swells or decreases the total is the number of vagrants sentenced, and the number of misdemeanors and petty crimes committed, and these are more or less dependent on economic conditions. "To my notion the present jail figures indicate that economic conditions in the country are becoming somewhat more unfavorable. There is more immigration and more unemployment, although this condition has not become general. It looks as if times were getting slightly harder."

CRIME INCREASING Is crime on the increase in Orange county? Figures compiled by Deputy Sheriff Theo. ("Budge") Lacy, in charge of the county jail, would seem to indicate that it is. During the twelve months' period of 1919-20, ending June 30, 1920, the figures show that 438 men were confined in the county jail. This is an average of 36 per month. During July, 1920, 30 men were remanded to the jail as prisoners; in August, 31 were so held; and September, 49, and in October, 64. During the first ten days of the present month 26 men have already had their names inscribed on the jail books. If this average continues it will mean that the November total will be 80 prisoners—the greatest number for any one month for nearly two years. Should the present average of the four months and ten days which have GOOD SEED PARAMOUNT IN POTATO PATCH Cover Crops Prove Essential to Best Returns. At the recent Farm Bureau Potato Growers' demonstration held at Van Nuys two outstanding features in potato growing were emphasized—first good seed and second, proper treatment of soil. Most failures are due to poor seed or poor cultural conditions. One cannot be too particular about the quality of seed he uses. Only seed potatoes from selected hills should be used and these free from disease. As a precaution against rhyzactonia, all seed potatoes should be dipped in a solution of corrosive-sublimate. A rotation of mellilotus indica and potatoes will give a better yield per acre than two crops of potatoes during the same year. Mr. Olson of Van Nuys is planting a combination of mellilotus and vetch as a winter crop which he turns under in March and then plants his potatoes. He obtained much better results with mellilotus and vetch than with alfalfa. He uses 1000 lbs. of seed per acre and is careful not to plant a slash with too many eyes. Two or three good healthy eyes are sufficient—more eyes or sprouts will produce too many leaders and the plant will therefore go to leaf production rather than tuber. Cut seed has proven better than "drop seed" or whole potatoes. A good seed bed should be provided. Soil temperature at the time of planting should be considered important, especially for the fall crop. It has been found the best practice to irrigate immediately after planting in July or August. This will tend to cool the ground and compact the soil around the newly planted seed. Fertilizer plots were visited at this demonstration. Mellilotus plots produced better yields than nitrate of soda.

Senator William M. Calder, of New York, lays the blame for the coal shortage and high fuel prices entirely at the door of Attorney General Palmer. "It is reported in newspapers dispatches," he said, "that the National Coal Association, at the suggestion of the Attorney General has called a meeting of mine workers in Cleveland and that the Attorney General's suggestion carries the assurance that any action toward the reduction of prices and the elimination of profiteering would not be construed under the Lever act as an infringement of the law; that the Attorney-General had assured the National Coal Association that action to reduce high prices, if taken without infringement of certain limitations—which he will communicate to the association—and the necessary discussion thereon by the illuminous coal operators attending the meeting, will not be in violation of the Sherman act or of any other law. "The high cost of living is one of the outstanding facts of our day. New legislation can do little if our existing laws cannot be enforced, especially the laws against profiteering. For this nation has turned in vain to the Department of Justice, presided over by A. Mitchell Palmer, Attorney General, who, after an incredible six months or profiteering in coal, is now suggesting a meeting of the coal operators." "Can we hope that Mr. Palmer, at this late hour, will do any better on coal than he did on sugar?" thousands of strangers who got their first real comprehension of the spirit of Southern California from that mile of flowers. We feel that there is no better way for slater communities to present their charms to the stranger and home folk than this one and we are, therefore, asking all Southern California to come, take part and enjoy the 1921 Tournament of Roses." To avoid any confusion, especially in cities and communities outside of Pasadena in regard to obtaining soats for the coming "East vs West" Football Game, January 1st, 1921 under the auspices of the Pasadena Tournament of Roses Association, it has been made possible for reservations to be made by mail. The plan made this year is the result of careful study and much correspondence by George H. Frost, in charge of the ticket sale. Mr. Frost wrote all sections of the country and out of the information he received, the plans and rules for this year have just been adopted. They will prevent any repetition of the confusion incident to the advance sale for the Harvard-Oregon game of January 1st, 1920. For the past twenty-five years the Tournament of Roses has been supported by memberships taken by public spirited residents of Pasadena and the towns of Southern California; these memberships costing $5 each. About ten years ago, the Association began allowing with each membership, $3 worth of tickets to the afternoon sports at Tournament Park on New Year's Day, and the members have always been given the advantage of the first three days sale of tickets. The advance sale this year will be through the mall, giving residents of any place outside of Pasadena, who TEACHERS MUST HAVE MORE PAY SAYS REPORT That fair and just salaries must be paid to school teachers, supervisors and superintendents if the schools of America are not to deteriorate, is one on the principal findings of the national survey of urban schools directed by the national committee for Chamber of Commerce co-operation with the public schools and the American City Bureau. A copy of the findings in this survey has just been received here by school authorities. The first phase of the national survey of schools, findings of which have just been issued, had to do with the training and pay of teachers. The next inquiry in the survey will be upon the housing problem in the public schools. A third will be upon educational programs and safeguards. In the first survey—upon teachers and teachers' salaries—1380 cities answered the inquiries of the national committee. The report has been made by the executive committee of the national body. George Drayton Strayer, chairman of the national committee, says in the report: "The teachers in American cities are less well paid now than they were in 1913-14. The inquiry conducted by the national committee on Chamber of Commerce co-operation with the public schools shows that the average increase in teachers' salaries since 1913-14 has been 61 per cent. At the same time the increase in the cost of living has been over 100 per cent. “If American public schools are to secure the services of as able men and women as were those recruited for the teaching profession ten or fifteen years ago, salaries must be still further increased." legislation can do little if our existing laws cannot be enforced, especially the laws against profiteering. For this the nation has turned in vain to the Department of Justice, presided over by A. Mitchell Palmer, Attorney General, who after an incredible six months orgy or profiteering in coal, is now suggesting a meeting of the coal operators. "Can we hope that Mr. Palmer, at this late hour, will do any better on coal than he did on sugar?" Senator Calder reviewed the failure of the Government to contract for the Cuban sugar crop of 1919 at a low price. He compared the present coal situation with the sugar market of a year ago and continued: "So ends the sickening story of sugar, for which we have been paying 25 and 30 cents a pound, adding hundreds of millions to the high cost of living, until the market has at last broken its own weight, and we have today, it is said, 1,263,000,000 pounds more sugar in the United States or afloat to the United States than we had at this time last year. In mentioning the sufferers from the coal profiteering orgy, I should include those dependent upon the revival of construction and should also include the United States Government itself as a sufferer. Admiral Benson, chairman of the United States Shipping Board, it is said, recently declared: It is 'outrageous' that the Government should have to pay $18 to $20 a ton for its coal. He figured coal at the mine at $1 a ton and added $2.50 for dumping a transportation charges. 'Somebody must be getting the difference,' he is quoted as saying. The difference is $14.50 a ton. Selling prices of $18, $20 and $25 have been frequently mentioned. Mr. Storrew, Fuel Administrator of New England, told the Senate Committee on Reconstruction, of which I am chairman, that the cost of coal profiteering to the American people was $1,000,000 a day, and I have been informed that coal profiteering is costing the gas consumers of Massachusetts alone at the rate of $5,-700,000 a year. Testimony before the Senate Committee on Reconstruction has set the present cost of Virginia coal loaded in cars at between $2.50 and $4 a ton, with fifty cents a ton a fair profit. One operator said that the average price received by him from January to July of this year for more than a million tons was only $3.20 a ton, yet coal has been sold at $20 in New York harbor and $25 in Boston and the towns of Southern California; these memberships costing $5 each. About ten years ago, the Association began allowing with each membership, $3 worth of tickets to the afternoon sports at Tournament Park on New Year's Day, and the members have always been given the advantage of the first three days sale of tickets. The advance sale this year will be through the mail, giving residents of any place outside of Pasadena, who are members of the Association an equal chance with Pasadenans. Each member is allowed to buy four tickets, but no more, with each membership. Members will be notified in advance as to the first date of sale and those desiring tickets may mail an order, stating what reservations are wanted and enclose with the official receipt (worth $3) an amount sufficient to cover the entire order. An especial effort will be made to get members from outside of Pasadena to join the Association and receive its benefits. GO FOR THE GOPHER No longer will the gophers of Orange county be able to "goph" with perfect freedom. If plans of Superintendent of Rodent Control W. G. Wardwell materialize. Wardwell is negotiating the purchase of a pair of ferrets. He is enthusiastic over the idea, and states that he believes with two good able-bodied ferrets he can quickly clean out the gophers, ground squirrels, rats, and other pests which are causing damage in the fields of Orange county. "One ground squirrel or gopher can do a world of damage," said Wardwell. "While there are large numbers of them in the county, it would surprise many farmers suffering from their inroads to know how few of them are actually doing the damage in any one particular field. When the ferrets arrive we will set them to work on the fields which are most numerously infested with the pests, and I think we can reduce the damage by many thousands of dollars worth within a very short time." Wardwell intends to purchase a male and female ferret and raise a whole family to use in his work. "The ferret is a small animal of the same family as the mink or weasel," said Wardwell. "They weigh on an average of one to three pounds." If American public schools are to secure the services of as able men and women as were those recruited for the teaching profession ten or fifteen years ago, salaries must be still further increased. There is no problem which is of more importance to public-spirited citizens than that involved in the adequate support of the public school system. The real measure of the strength of our schools is to be found in the quality of man or woman engaged in teaching. There is need for concerted action We are wealthy enough in the United States to support our public schools. We are able if we so desire to improve and develop them." Among other things brought out by the survey were the facts that the larger city, the better salary paid to teachers (though that does not hold good in Pasadena, where salaries are equal to the level of the much larger city of Los Angeles), that teachers should have not merely a "living wage" but sufficient for them to lay aside a competence for old age, also to enjoy magazines, lectures, entertainments, occasional travel and other things calculated to broaden them and of a nature commensurate with their standing in society. COOK OR DANCE? A San Francisco judge rebuked the mother of a young respondent in a divorce court because she had flattered her daughter in the belief that she would do better at aesthetic dancing than plain cooking. The judge declared that the world was terribly overstocked with girls who could interpret dancing, but couldn't tell the contents "Testimony before the Senate Committee on Reconstruction has set the present cost of Virginia coal loaded in cars at between $2.50 and $4 a ton, with fifty cents a ton a fair profit. One operator said that the average price received by him from January to July of this year for more than a million tons was only $3.20 a ton, yet coal has been sold at $20 in New York harbor and $25 in Boston harbor." TURNAMENT OF ROSES During the current month representatives of the civic bodies and newspapers of Southern California will be asked to come as the guests of the Tournament of Roses association to attend a "Get Together" banquet in Pasadena at which advice of those assembled will be asked to make the 1921 Tournament of Rose pageant the success it is expected to be. The date for this banquet will be announced shortly as well as the place where it will be held. It is the statement of President W. L. Leishman of the Tournament of Roses Association that he and Chairman B. O. Kendall of the association's parade committee hope and expect that the division made up of entries from other communities will be far the largest in the history of the pageant. Special arrangements will be made to make this division one of the big if not the biggest features of the parade. Last year it is estimated that the better part of half a million people witnessed the passing of the parade," said Chairman B. O. Kendall of the parade committee, who served in a like capacity for the 1920 pageant. In that vest throng were scores of fields which are most numerously infested with the pests, and I think we can reduce the damage by many thousands of dollars worth within a very short time." Wardwell intends to purchase a male and female ferret and raise a whole family to use in his work. "The ferret is a small animal of the same family as the mink or weasel," said Wardwell. "They weigh on an average of one to three pounds each. They were first domesticated by the Egyptians, but have now spread over the entire world. They are a strong blood-thirsty little animal, it being their nature to hunt and rush headlong in pursuit of the game. In color they are a whitish-yellow or brown, and white, the latter being an indication of a cross with English Fitch or dark ferret. "Although ferrets are considered especially good for exterminating rats, they can also be used, I understand for ground squirrels and gophers. Ferrets are easy to handle, as they are now bred and raised domestically. To carry them around you merely need a small box, or you can train them to stay in your pocket. They are quite tame, and although ferocious by nature towards rodents, never have been known to injure a man. "To get ground squirrels or gophers you merely turn the ferret down the hole and let it get the scent. They will not come up until the last gopher or ground squirrel is dead. Those escaping from other holes can be killed with clubs." Drilling on the Union Oil's Shepard No. 1 is now at 4301 feet. At this depth the formation shows nothing more than a gray sand with scarcely any indication of oil. Dickson No. 1 is now in the oil sand at 3645 and looking rather good.

It seems a bit odd that this practical reasoning should come out of San Francisco. Most folk fancied that the Bay City was wholly committed to the thought that the girls should be trained in lissome wiggling whether they could sew on buttons or not. If the courts are going to rule that plain cooking is more vital than plastic dancing there will be revolution in many homes. But it does seem for a fact that there are more fancy dancers than good cooks on the wrong side of the divorce courts. A wife that can make good waffles has a grip on her job that the courts cannot shake loose. WHAT PERCY DID Percy Hower is certainly not a "Percy," officers declare. Howe, together with Nick Partz, also of Anaheim, got to "feelin' mean," principally, according to authorities, as the result of consuming a quantity of an 83 per cent alcoholic tincture of orange, widely sold for medicinal purposes. Howe and Partz walked up to John H. Lang, of Los Angeles, who was standing on a street corner at Anaheim waiting to catch a bus, and started to "treat him rough," according to officers. They beat him and mauled him for the mere enjoyment of it, say the allegations. No robbery was attempted. Howe and Partz are said never to have set eyes on Lang before. They are said to be oil workers, but, officers say, they seem to do fairly well on just plain tincture of orange. Police officers rushed to the scene and took Partz and Howe into custody. The pair then proceeded to do as much damage to the Anaheim city jail as possible. They tore up everything in sight. Two charges were placed against of every industry in the country. If that were accomplished according to his plans, it would mean, of course, that every workingman must be a member of a union or else be deprived of the opportunity of earning a livelihood for himself and family. He either must contribute financially to the support of a union or suffer all the dire consequences that would follow his inability to earn a wage. "The cruel autocracy of Mr. Gompers transcends anything dreamed of by rapacious monarchs. Through the control of industry he would make abject poverty and possible starvation and death the penalties for failure of a man to assign his independence into his keeping, and pay the tax levy which he assesses. Merit and individual efficiency are to count for nothing unless approval has first been purchased from a union. The pepple as a whole are to be denied the enhanced rate of production and higher quality standard that open competition brings, and only that rate and that standard countenanced by Mr. Gompers are to be permitted. "The labor chief has always been loud in his condemnation of so-called trusts. If the producers of the bulk of any commodity should combine their interests for the purpose of forcing an increase in price, would Mr. Gompers assert that independent producers of the same commodity would not only have no right to sell at the increased price but would be denied a market at any price? His answer, of course, would be 'No.' But that is precisely what he is proposing for union labor. He seeks, through the unions, to control all labor and to force up wages. When wages are up he announces that an independent laborer may not only be denied the increased wage, but shall be refused employment and not be given any the allegations. No robbery was attempted. Howe and Partz are said never to have set eyes on Lang before. They are said to be oil workers, but, officers say, they seem to do fairly well on just plain tincture of orange. Police officers rushed to the scene and took Partz and Howe into custody. The pair then proceeded to do as much damage to the Anaheim city jail as possible. They tore up everything in sight. Two charges were placed against them, one for battery, and the other of malicious mischef in destroying city property. They were sentenced to serve six months each in the county jail on each charge, making a year apiece for them. “If he acts this way and calls himself ‘Percy,’” said “Budge” Lacy as he entered Howe’s name on the jail book. “I’d hate to see him if he decided to change his name to ‘Bill’ or ‘Mike.’” ANOTHER DESPOT TO BE DETHRONED Characterizing Samuel Gompers’ brand of unionism as “exclusive, monopolistic, and domineering,” the Republican Publicity Association, through its President, Hon. Jonathan Bourne, Jr., issues the following. “In press dispatches, recently, Mr. Gompers was quoted as saying that plans of certain employers to injure unionism has strengthened the determination of the workers to resist a hundred-fold. The trouble with Mr. Gompers is that he cannot distinguish the legitimate activities of unionism from the dictatorship which he would set up. The unionism which he proposes is exclusive, monopolistic, and domineering. His policy is one of rule or ruin. His plans, if fully successful, would be destructive of the independence of the individual, and mark the end of that competition and rivalry which are the stimulation of all industry and production. “Mr. Gompers seeks the unioniza- FARM ACCOUNTING IN DECEMBER Over 120 farm account books were distributed this year and started by the University through the Farm Bureau in Orange County. The time of year is approaching for the summing up of these accounts and computing the income tax. While at Berkeley recently, Farm Advisor Wahlberg arranged to have Mr. Wright, Farm Account Expert, spend a few days in Orange County to assist the farmers in starting their books for 1921. During December 6th to 9th afternoon Farm Accounting schools will be held at Villa Park, Anaheim, Fullerton and Garden Grove. Mr. Wright will assist farmers in starting their books for the coming year and give instructions on computing the income tax for the year. The new books to be distributed free at these meetings will have a special section for the income tax returns. All farmers are invited to this series of meetings, they will be announced in the press later. Fordson TRADE MARK Farm Tractor The Fordson cuts the cost of preparing land almost to half of what it with horses. But even more important is the fact that the Fordson saves ninety to fifty percent of the farmer's time. And time saved—getting shape to plant in the proper season; getting things done when they be done—means money to the farmer. Besides it solves the labor ever, the machine-way is proving more efficient, faster, easier than hand way. In the factory, the machine increases production, saves producers more at less cost. And that is what the Fordson does on farm. The Fordson way is the machine way of farming. Besides it solves poor problem. The Fordson’s first cost is the low market; and the after or selling-cost is lowest. It is a commonly handled tractor, backed by greatest tractor service organization in the United States. We are Fordson dealers. Not only we sell Fordson tractors, but we stock of Fordson parts and Fordson mechanics to help the owners get the best results from theon.
