IN THE SUPERIOR COURT Of The County of Orange State of California NO 11819 Notice for Publication of Time of Proving Will, Etc. In the matter of the estate of E. J. Gerrish, Deceased. Notice is hereby given that Friday,the 25th day of February, 1921, at 10 Farmers who reside within the city limits are just as much eligible to membership in the Farm Bureau as those living in the city, explaining the function of the Farm Bureau and soliciting their membership. As no committees have been provided to work within the city boundaries of any town in Orange County, every farmer who believes in the effectiveness of organization and cooperation is asked to volunteer his efforts to the extent of at least sending his membership dues of $5.00 for the next year to the Farm Bureau office at Santa Ana. A personal check made out to the Orange County Farm Bureau will enlist any farmer on the Bureau Center schedule. Just now the Farm Bureau is creating a public utilities department that needs the backing of every power user and farmer in the county to affiliate with the State Farm Bureau Department. City Farmers - Don't fail to enlist. CONTROL OF PHYLLOXERA Control of the phylloxera, a small hemiterous insect allied to the aphids, which is given to attracting the roots and leaves of the grapevine, is urged as a immediate necessity for the protection of California's vineyards, in a publication released recently at the University of California, circular 226 the work of F. T. Bioletti, Professor of Viticulture in the University. Methods to prevent and delay the infestation of new vineyards are pointed out in the bulletin, and the use of resistant vines as the only certain and practicable protection of vineyards in infested localities is discussed. Recommendation is made for the use of resistant stocks which have given the best results during the last ten years as Davis and Kearney, and have proved superior to the Rupestris St. George planted almost exclusively in California. By the use of better stock the crop of most grapes have been increased from 50 to 140 per cent, states Prof. Bioletti. Professor Bioletti is the author of another publication, number 235, on the propagation of vines, released recently for free distribution to the farmers of the state. Tens of thousands of acres of vines have been planted in California during the last five years, he states. Many thousands will be planted this season, the success of which de- UNITED STATES TO BECOME FOOD IMPORTING COUNTRY SAYS SAVANT The United States is ceasing to be a food exporting country and is becoming fast a food importing country. This is the statement of Dr. A. E. Taylor, former professor pathology in the University of California and representative of the Federal Secretary of Agriculture on the War Trade Board, at the proceedings of the thirty-fourth annual convention of the Association of Land-Grant Colleges at Springfield, Massachusetts, late last year. Dr. Taylor stated that the United States is entering the period of transition from a food exporting nation to a food importing nation, and that the situation is filled with difficulties for American agriculture. Professor Taylor discussed exhaustively the wheat situation at home and abroad, treating the economics of the supply and demand of wheat, the actual conditions of Europe, the fact and psychology of falling prices, and defective transportation. The psycology of price reduction in automobiles and silk shirts extends to the wheat fields, Dr. Taylor said. A large part of the world's long staple cotton goes into automobile casings. The joint resolution relative to protection of the poultry industry was passed and similar resolutions relative to the protection of the citrus fruits, dairy products and endorsing the Fordney Emergency Tariff law will no doubt pass also. PROFESSOR BILOLETTI is the author of another publication, number 235, on the propagation of vines, released recently for free distribution to the farmers of the state. Tens of thousands of acres of vines have been planted in California during the last five years, he states. Many thousands will be planted this season, the success of which depends on the use of the proper planting material. ELEVENTH NAVAL DISTRICT Formation of the Eleventh Naval District with headquarters at San Diego, is required by an order received at headquarters of the Twelfth Naval district from the Secretary of the Navy. Rear Admiral Roger Wells now at San Diego, will be commandant of the Eleventh District. The new district will be composed of California south of the Tehachepl Pass, together with the States of New Mexico and Arizona. The California counties transferred from the Twelfth District to the Eleventh were: Santa Barbara, Ventura, San Bernardino, Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Diego and Imperial. The Twelfth District will include Northern California, Nevada, Utah and Colorado. The West Whittler is being reruned at 2361 due to the fact that a boulder fell in at some high point and the drill stuck fast. A charge of dynamite was lowered down through the drill pipe and the bit blown off. All of the tools have been recovered now and it looks like everything would move along smoothly from now on.

While men talk about disarmament and fill the newspaper columns with learned discussions as to the wisdom of curtailing our naval program by international agreement hour by hour the day of our real disarmament approaches, and approaches so stealthily the great public is in entire ignorance of the fact. In the next war leaders will laugh at battleships and artillery when they launch their assaults of poison gas and invisible destruction. The machinery of warfare has passed into the hands of the chemist, and the soothsayers, in predicting results, will look not to the stars or entrails, but the test tubes of the laboratory. An inkling of the truth may be obtained from a cable dispatch, written by Wythe Williams, which appeared in the Washington Herald of January, 10. We quote from it. "There is evidence in Paris, where a large force of dye experts are now gathered to help the reparations commission, that the German dye attract is to be centered most vigorously upon the United States market. France has a tariff law that enables her to build up her dye industry unmolested. England has a tariff law, operative January, 15, that excludes dyes such as she produces and admits those she does not produce, but which her consumers need. Japan is taking steps to protect her chemical industry. The United States is the only important nation actually at the mercy of the German chemists. For the moment America is protected by the War Trade Board, but this barrier will fall when she ends the technical state of war with Germany. "German dye manufacturers, realized to Paris to write the Peace Treaty were well aware that a mere physical disarmament of Germany would be a grotesque provision against the latter attack by that nation. They favored not merely the destruction of the German Navy and the disbandment of the German army, but they also expected to compel the Germans to disclose their chemical secrets, vital in warfare, and the dismantlement of huge chemical works was contemplated. This essential and very wise course was prevented by President Wilson, who advanced the idea that the Allies and the United States could adequately protect themselves by building up their own chemical industry, shutting out the German product. He favored compelling the Germans to disclose their chemical secrets, which they have not done, but he wanted each individual nation to protect itself. That is what all of the chief Allies and neutral nations have done—all except the United States. Over in England the Government listened to all arguments against protection of the British dye industry and then promptly enacted, last month, the most drastic sort of legislation to assure absolutely that the German chemical industry would not ruin that of Great Britain. She carried out the understanding that had been reached in Paris. It is more than passing strange however, that every effort to carry out the same understanding in the United States has been erupted by filibusters of threats of filibusters in the Senate. It is amazing, but it is true. It is a fact that the Germans have not yet yielded up their war method of extracting nitrogen from the air. The methods we have are obsolete, and we know it. But the final Haber process we have not got.

Japan is taking steps to protect her chemical industry. The United States is the only important nation actually at the mercy of the German chemists. For the moment America is protected by the War Trade Board, but this barrier will fall when she ends the technical state of war with Germany. "German dye manufacturers, realizing this, are causing the reparations commission much trouble by refusing to produce, except under pressure, the dye most needed in the United States. They are willing to offer large quantities of dyes in competition with the output of the new American industry, but still are making excuses for the failure to produce non-competitive dyes. Thus also they hope to encourage the consumers to demand an open market. Also, in this manner, with the experience of her 50 years' world monopoly of dye manufacture against 5 years of American experience, Germany hopes to throttle the American industry and leave America helpless in this respect should there be another war. German production of dyes is so closely allied with her production of munitions that a separation is impossible. Destruction of one would mean destruction of both. Students of the German proposals now in Paris consider that America is the last hope the German manufacturers have, and they will not give up as long as America does not protect its dye industry by a law similar to that of Great Britain. They see; further, that real chemical disarmament can be accomplished only by breaking Germany's monopoly of the dye industry and encouraging the building up of a similar industry in all the countries of the entente and especially in the United States." It is the absolute truth that the United States is the only important nation actually at the mercy of the German chemists." The War Trade Board, which now protects the American industry, will go out of existence March, 4 unless funds to finance its activities are provided, and it will go out of existence soon anyhow so soon as peace is concluded. The dye industry, therefore, is nearing hour by hour the day when it will be at the mercy of the Germans. That will not be long. Private industry does not possess the power of taxation and cannot long under heavy financial loss. Paris. It is more than passing strange however, that every effort to carry out the same understanding in the United States has been erupted by filabusters of threats of filabusters in the Senate. It is amazing, but it is true. It is a fact that the Germans have not yet yielded up their war method of extracting nitrogen from the air. The methods we have are obsolete, and we know it. But the final Haber process we have not got. It will be got in one way or another, but it has not yet been got. If gentlemen wish to continue their argument on the dye bill, let them do so, but not with the gates open. The barriers must at least be kept up until a definite decision has been made. This can be done by the passage of a joint resolution extending the authority of the War Board and providing funds wherewith to support it. The Longsworth bill itself ought to be passed. It is the sensible and proper course. But failing that, the next best course is emergency protection of the chemical industry pending the final decision by the next Congress on a definite national policy. The absolute essential character of the dye industry in relation to national defense is not a question of conjecture or of theory. It has been demonstrated with mathematical accuracy, and it can be so demonstrated at any time, before any committee or jury. Indeed, it is admitted even by the opponents of the Longsworth bill. They claim, however, that the industry can be protected adequately by tariffs. The facts are all against them. Tariffs are for honest men, in pure commerce. Control of the American tye market by the Germans is not inherently a commercial undertaking at all. Germany can afford to give away dyes in America if by so doing she can destroy the American dye industry. Dyes, with her, is preparedness for war. Dyes with us can be nothing else. We would be safer without a gun factory in the nation. a powder plant or a warship than without a chemical industry and a chemical personnel equal to any others on earth.

The dye industry, therefore, is nearing hour by hour the day when it will be at the mercy of the Germans. That will not be long. Private industry does not possess the power of taxation and cannot long stand up under heavy financial losses. If there is no inhibitory legislation, enough dyes can be dumped on our shores in a few months to swamp the market. It is difficult to speak with moderation of those Senators who have resorted to the filabuster and every other technical device of legislators to delay and prevent enactment of the dye bill. Be their motive what they may, the fact remains that their course is exactly the course that is most acceptable to the Germans. There is one thing Berlin more desires than the failure of the Longworth bill. Men who shape thier course in Congress so as to support a policy obviously beneficial to our enemies and destructive to the United States necessarily are objects of suspicion. Men are judged not by their motives, but by the things they do, and when the things they do are fatal to the future well-being of their country, they must expect criticism. This is more than ever true when they obstruct the majority and employ technical power of delay to prevent an enactment favored not only by the House of Representatives and recommended by the President, but also favored by a large majority in the Senate itself. There is a history back of this entire situation. The statesmen who REAPPORTIONMENT Who would ever have thought that the sentiment for economy would have struck Washington so hard that it promises to prevent an increase in the size of the House of Representatives? If the same basis for the election if Congressmen had been continued during the next ten years, it would have increased the size of the House from 435 to 487 members. But 52 new Congressmen with secretaries and mileage and expenses would have added at least $1,500,000 a year to government expenses, and the addition will not be made. Instead, the Congressman who now theoretically represents about 212,000 population will likely represent about 240,000 in the future. Incidentally, instead of getting five additional Congressmen, California will get three, and in all probability, instead of getting three new members in Southern California, we will get only two. Of course that will involve all sorts of shifts in the proposed reapportionment of the State, and that ideal arrangement worked out by Assemblyman Pendergast of Redlands must be revamped—more's the pity. What will be substituted for it is yet to be worked out, but there is more danger than ever that San Bernardino county will be divorced from Riverside and Orange, which are likely to be lumped with Imperial and San Dnego. We are still of the opinion that San Bernardino county people would prefer to be included in the same district even though it does make the district 100,000 top heavy.
