OUR SUGAR OUTPUT A RECORD BREAKER This Year's Crop Nearly Fifty Million Pounds Above Last Year. Southern California's sugar crop estimate for 1920-21 is over 47,785,000 pounds greater than the production of 1919-20, according to figures submitted to the L. A. chamber of commerce by heads of local beet sugar companies. It is shown that the output this year, in Southern California, alone, will be approximately 184,285,000 pounds as against 136,500,000 pounds last year, showing a gain of 35 per cent. The increase, it was reported, is largely due to a similar gain in acreage, 79,746 acres having been planted this year as compared with 72,000 in 1919. Figures for the entire state, as prepared by Dr. George P. Clements, head of the agricultural department of the chamber of commerce, show that 135,-700 acres were planted to sugar beets this year as compared with 110,000 acres in 1919, a gain of 25,700 acres. It is shown that the increased sugar production in Southern California is in keeping with the general gain throughout the United States and the world, in both beet and cane sugar. A report received by the chamber of commerce from the department of foreign and domestic commerce in Washington shows that the world's sugar crop estimate for 1920-21 is over 1,700,000 tons greater than the production of last year. The total indicated world production of both cane and beet sugar is 17,085,500 tons as against the 1919 output of 15,310,324 responsibility so that although the properties referred to pass into new and separate hands, the new organization starts out under high auspices with operating machinery ready for work. The new and permanent head of the Pacific Oil Company is not yet designated. CAL. MAY GET FOUR MORE CONGRESSMEN Unalterable opposition to any increase in the size of the House of Representatives as the result of the 1920 census was voiced by Speaker Gillett who said he would use his utmost influence against it. If the House is held to its present size of 435 members, ten States stand to lose one or more Representatives, as follows: Missouri two, and Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Mississippi, Nebraska and Vermont one each. Representative Hull of Tennessee, who was defeated in the November elections, has drafted a measure for presentation Monday limiting the size of the House to 450 members and making the basis of representatives one for every 243,751 or major fraction thereof instead of 211,877 as at present. Should this bill be enacted, these States would gain seats: California, four; Michigan and Ohio, three each; Texas, two; Connecticut, Illinois; New Jersey; New Mexico, New York; North Carolina; Oklahoma, Pennsylvania and Washington, one each.

A report received by the chamber of commerce from the department of foreign and domestic commerce in Washington shows that the world's sugar crop estimate for 1920-21 is over 1,700,000 tons greater than the production of last year. The total indicated world production of both cane and beet sugar is 17,085,500 tons as against the 1919 output of 15,310,324 tons. It is pointed out by local sugar men that the government report shows an under-estimate rather than an over-estimate for the California beet sugar crop, and it is believed that one or two other states have been placed at too low a figure. The report of the department of commerce says: Regarding the condition in the United States the output of the beet crop in Ohio is estimated at 45,000 tons. Michigan at 145,000, Colorado 250,000 Nebraska 75,000, Utah 140,000, Idaho 50,000 and California 151,000. In this last state the campaign is so nearly over that the figure given will be very close to the actual outturn. The production of the various other states going to make up the estimate totals 94,000 tons. SEGREGATING THE OIL William Sproule, President of the Southern Pacific Company, returned to an Francisco after an absence in the East of thirty days or more. Coincident with his return, announcement was made from the New York office of the company that the Directors have decided upon a plan for separating the oil properties controlled by the company from the outhern Pacific railroad properties, pusuant to a declaration by the Board of Directors about a month ago that they had approved the principle of separating these properties and called upon the Executive Committee of the company to submit a plan. Commenting on this plan President Sproule said: "It is in the nature of a distribution to Southern Pacific stock-holders of the oil properties that are now controlled by the Southern Pacific interest. After the plan takes effect, the Southern Pacific Company will cease to be interested in the oil business except as a purchaser of oil for fuel on the one hand and as a common carrier of oil on the other hand. In taking this action the company immediately responsive to the spirit of present. Should this bill be enacted, these States would gain seats: California, four; Michigan and Ohio, three each; Texas, two; Connecticut, Illinois, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania and Washington, one each. DISTRICTS TAKE UP DRAINAGE PROJECTS There is a probability that the directors of the Garden Grove Drainage district will call another bond election soon with the expectation that voters of the district will now approve a proposed bond issue of $100,000. The Buaro Drainage district project will be revived next year with the area made three times greater than the area proposed in the recent attempt to organize the district. These are the two big points developed in conferences held between drainage directors and W. W. Wier of Berkeley, drainage engineer for the College of Agriculture, University of California. Wier last night completed a survey of the drainage situation in connection with three projects, one each at Garden Grove, Buaro and Cypress. While here Wier stated that he had drawn up a bill that he believes will be passed by the next legislature. This measure provides for a drainage district in which the assessments will be in accordance with the benefits derived. The present drainage law calls for a levy upon assessed valuations. In some districts the land benefitted is assessed at a low figure while the land that has a high assessment, and therefore pays the greatest share of the taxes, receives the least benefits. It was the situation suggested in the preceding sentence that was held responsible for the defeat of the Garden Grove district bonds recently. Since then voters have thought the situation over. Wier pointed out to a gathering of property owners that it is best to proceed with the voting of bonds and the maintenance of the district under the present law. Then when the bill he has drawn up becomes law next summer the district can place itself under that law.The bill he has drawn up allows directors to be selected by the district or by the board of supervisors at the option of the district's voters. Directors Lake Clements and Chaffee are to take a straw vote of votes in the proposed Garden Grove district. Samuel M. Shator James D. States senator being to announce vote by Secreta Jordan.

It is in the nature of a distribution to Southern Pacific stock-holders of the oil properties that are now controlled by the Southern Pacific interest. After the plan takes effect, the Southern Pacific Company will cease to be interested in the oil business except as a purchaser of oil for fuel on the one hand and as a common carrier of oil on the other hand. In taking this action the company is simply responsive to the spirit of the times and the plan puts the properties in the possession of the stockholders as individuals, each of the stockholders being given the right to acquire a share in the oil properties to the same extent that he has a share in the railroad property. It will be observed that the new oil company will be known as the Pacific Oil Company. It will include the oil lands of the outerm Pacific Land Company, as stated in the announcement, and so much of the shares of the Associated Oil Company as the Southern Pacific now holds The Associated Oil Company, however, and its subsidiary companies are separate entities, regardless of whether the Southern Pacific retains its stock or divests itself of its stock as now announced. The plan is intended to inure to the benefit of Southern Pacific holders and will place the majority stock of the Associated Oil Company in very strong hands for the purposes of the oil producing and refining business in which that company is engaged. The headquarters of the Pacific Oil Company will be in New York, and the Board of Directors, as announced by Mr. Kruttschnitt, is composed of men of the highest reputation and power per capita, in bank deposits, California stands in the front rank of States. New deposits were started by 181,943 people during the year, as against a net gain of 39,434 during the year of 1918-1919 making a total number of depositors in the saving bank 1,429,805. To move the crops money has been borrowed in large amounts, says Mr. Stern. To take these loans the banks have borrowed in large sums. The warning has been sounded. This is no time for food speculation or for holding for high prices. Liquidation of collateral underlying these loans in sufficient amount to pay these obligations is essential to our economic safety and must be insisted upon by every financial agency with power so to insist. SPRAY INJURY Severe injury to trees and fruit in several lemon orchards, near Glendora and Covina, has been observed following the use of one of the new spray materials advertised as a contact spray for scale insects. Some damage was also done to oranges. The manufacturers immediately discontinued the use of the material and have announced their intention of carrying on further experimental work before allowing any more sales. The cause of the injury is not definitely known, but it has been suggested that the very warm weather prevailing at the time of application and the supposed presence of a certain amount of arsenic in water soluble form were both factors. This serves again to emphasize the need of caution on the part of the grower in accepting unkried remedies WILDCATTING IN THE PHILLIPPINES. Geologists Certain of Oil In Paying Quantities. Early in December a party of oil well drillers from Fullerton and other California fields will leave San Francisco for the Philippines, for the purpose of developing oil on the Bondoc Peninsula, Island of Luzon. The party is being sent out by the Richmond Petroleum company, subsidiary of the Standard Oil company (California.) Petroleum has not been produced in commercial quantities in Philadelphia but geologists have present parties, and has called a convention to meet in February to perfect the plans to that end. What the ultimate result will be cannot be foretold. The immediate effect, however is likely to be a widening of the split in the ranks of the women themselves. Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, leader of the largest and most influential group during the sucrage campaign that led to enfranchisement, has steadily maintained that women should seek no separate sphere in politics, but use the machinery of the present parties co-operating with men rather than antagonizing them, and seeking to accomplish feminist purpose by reforming the old parties from within. The majority of American women seem to have sanctioned this policy in the past, and may be expected to do so hereafter. No attempt to line up women against men has ever yet succeeded in the long run. SALE OF STATE SCRIPT Surveyor General W. S. Kingsbury will hold a public auction sale of script at the State Capitol, Sacramento, Monday, January 3, 1921 at ten a.m. State Script is the cheapest land script on the market today. Script can only be purchased by citizens of the United States who are residents of the State of California and can be located on any vacant non-mineral government land in California. State script is not transferable. No purchaser can buy more than 640 acres of script. Script is sold in forty-acre lots for cash, personal checks received, and the surrender of the script is payment for an equal acreage of the SHORTRIDGE MAJORITY OVER PHELAN 76,255 Samuel M.

THE CAMEL GETS HEAD IN THE TENT The prediction of those who declared that with the machinery of the league of natons set up, and the government of the United States subordinated to it, history would repeat itself in the effort of the organization to increase its powers and assume the functions of a super-government before allowing any more sales. The cause of the injury is not definitely known, but it has been suggested that the very warm weather prevailing at the time of application and the supposed presence of a certain amount of arsenic in water soluble form were both factors. This serves again to emphasize the need of caution on the part of the grower in accepting unkried remedies for scale control. Early in December a party of oil well drillers from Fullerton and other California fields will leave San Francisco for the Philippines for the purpose of developing oil on the Bondoc Peninsula Island of Luzon. The party is being sent out by the Richmond Petroleum company, subsidiary of the Standard Oil company (California). Petroleum has not been produced in commercial quantities in the Philippines but geologists have discovered indications of the presence of petroleum at Bondoc sufficient to justify this "wild-cat" adventure. The undertaking is a part of the intensive campaign which has been carried on for many months by the Standard Oil company (California), to increase crude oil production, and which has recently resulted in the opening of two new and very important fields in California—in the Elk Hills and at Huntington Beach. The area to be explored is tropical and the vegetation thick. The pioneers face a difficult task in developing the property. There are no roads, save for carabou trails, and these will have to be built. There is no harbor, which will make it necessary to lighter all equipment from steamers at the mouth of the Pagsanghan river. Every piece of equipment necessary to the drilling of an oil well will be taken from California, even to the lumber for the rigs, as well as all sorts of supplies. Standard and rotary tools will be taken along with boilers, engines, casing, drill pipe, etc. The total equipment will weigh about a thousand tons. It will be shipped the middle of December on a vessel which will touch at Manila and then proceed to the mouth of the Pagsanghan. The drilling party consists of twenty-seven men including a superintendent, drillers, tool dressers and all others necessary to the work. In Manila, doctors will be added to the personnel. While a few shadow wells yielding a production of a few barrels per lay were drilled on the Bondoc Peninsula a number of years ago, the nearest commercial production to the Philippines is in Borneo. NO SPEED LIMITS FOR CUBAN TAXIS Havana, Cuba claims the distinction of having solved the problem of cheap Script can only be purchased by citizens of the United States who are residents of the State of California and can be located on any vacant non-mineral government land in California. State script is not transferable. No purchaser can buy more than 640 acres of script. Script is sold in forty-acre lots for cash, personal checks received, and the surrender of the script is payment for an equal acreage of the government land. At the last auction sale of script the price received averaged $6.66 per acre. Homestead and desert land entrymen can relinquish their entries thru the Surveyor General and acquire the title to the land through the purchase of script. The applicant need not live on or improve the land. All money received from the sale of state script goes to the support of the public schools of the state. EAT WORMS; "NOT BAD" SAYS PROFESSOR Colorado Springs Item: Principal Lloyd Shaw demonstrated to a high school class in biology that angle worms are edible following a lecture on the worm. Asked if the worms were edible Shaw replied there was no reason why they shouldn't be. The students obtained a handful,fried them in butter in the domestic science laboratory and presented them to their instructor who ate them, announcing them "not half bad."

Dated this 7th day of December, 1920. THE CAMEL GETS HEAD IN THE TENT The prediction of those who declared that with the machinery of the league of natons set up, and the government of the United States subordinated to it, history would repeat itself in the effort of the organization to increase its powers and assume the functions of a super-government, have been born out at the sessions of the league to date. A Geneva dispatch of November 10 to the New York Tribune says, in part: "The league threatens to grow in influence faster than most people anticipated and most people desired." The truth of this is illustrated in the declaration of Senator La Fountaine, of Belgium, that no country should have exclusive jurisdiction over the raw materials it produces. This declaration evidences a theory that the resources of a member nation should be subject to allocation by a super-state, and a beginning in development of President Wilson's doctrine of universal free trade—the establishment of economic equality among nations. The doctrine was quickly challenged in the league assembly by Newton W. Rowell, of the Canadian delegation, who said: "You cannot expect the great country to the south of Canada to become a party to the league if there is any pretention that the league can interfere in its internal affairs. It is no fault of federated nations like the United States with sufficient territory and resources to be self-supporting, that there is insistence in Europe upon maintaining small nations, whose lack of territory and resources makes them so powerful. While a few shallow wells yielding a production of a few barrels per day were drilled on the Bondoc Peninsula a number of years ago, the nearest commercial production to the Philippines is in Borneo. NO SPEED LIMITS FOR CUBAN TAXI8 Havana, Cuba claims the distinction of having solved the problem of cheap transportation more satisfactorily than any other city. Operating within a territory whose radius is little greater than a mile, eight thousand Ford automobiles carry one or two persons between any two points in the circle for 20 cents. Under no speed limitations, the drivers are left to their own fate, rushing back and forth through the streets but their feet and hands have become so highly developed that they can swerve out of one another's way more adeptly than can be imagined. Besides, Cuban upholsterers have transformed the Ford. Mahogany replaces the metal of the tonneau, whipcord for the body upholstery, fancy carpet for the floor, and many colored leather for the seats. In a single car may be seen five or six different shades of leather. BTILL TRYING The old question of a separate feminist party is up again, after nearly everybody supposed that it was settled, Mrs. O. H. P. Belmont, leader of the militant group of American suffragists is determined to make her "Woman's Party" a fixture in national politics. She seems convinced that it may play a leading part, holding at least the balance of power between WATER CONSERVATION ASSOCIATION SUSPENDS At its annual meeting in the Chamber of Commerce building, Freino, the San Joaquin Valley Water Conservation and Development association voted unanimously to suspend meetings indefinitely to indorse the California state association. This merger with the state body was taken after a long discussion of the Marshall plan, which is being put forward by the California State association. Colonel R. B. Marshall, originator of the Marshall plan, and L. C. Davidson, manager of the association, presented to the meeting details of the great water and power reclamation project. The motion for temporary suspension of regular meetings carried with it a suspension of dues paid by the county unit to the central organization.
