HOW VETERANS CAN OBTAIN STATE AID Description of Laws Passed By California Legislature Any veteran of the world war who was a resident of California when he entered the army, navy or marine crops and who received an honorable discharge will be able, in the near future, to do one of the following things to make his future secure: 1. To get from the state an allotment of agricultural land in a veteran's colony, with house and outhouses to a value of not more than $15,000, and to get a loan of not to exceed $3000 more to buy implements and livestock. 2. To get a state loan to an amount not to exceed $7500 to enable him to purchase a piece of agricultural land separate from a veterans' colony. 3. To get a state loan for the purchase of a home in town or city, to an amount not to exceed $5000. 4. To get not to exceed two years of schooling at state expense—with tuition and books and $40 a month for living expenses provided by the state. These are the outstanding features of the veterans' welfare legislation passed by the last legislature and approved by Governor Stephens. This legislation comprises what is known as the American Legion program. The bills were signed May 31 and they become operative ninety days thereafter, or August 31. Before that last day of summer the governor will have appointed the five members of the veterans' welfare board, which, under the new acts, will have administrative control of this comprehensive welfare scheme. Not all of California's veterans can avail themselves of the state's credit in buying gimmediately a home in town or a farm. The first purpose is to afford available to mothers, brothers and sisters of deceased or totally disabled veterans, while all, even widows and orphans, are excluded if they have means of their own to provide for education. Besides tuition and books, a sum not to exceed fifty dollars a month will be paid towards the living expense of the student. Also in the early autumn, it is planned, disabled veterans may begin to acquire town or city homes or individual farms under the provisions of senate bill No. 822. The acquisition of farms under the "colonization" scheme of senate bill No. 594 will of necessity be somewhat delayed, but it is planned to have a least one colony operative in time for the spring planting in 1922. Let no disabled veteran be discouraged in the face of the provisions of the lots for certain cash payments at the initial stage. It is desirable that if the veteran can make these payments he shall make them, so that the fund may be extended to the aid of more veterans. But it is intended that the interpretation shall be liberal and that no man shall be shut out from its benefits for lack of means to make these first payments. Senate bill No. 594 is the central feature of the "American Legion program—and it is not to be forgotten that the legion and the legislature have put the disabled veterans first in line and have provided that able-bodied veterans must not elbow forward till their unfortunate buddies are snugly placed. It should be said, too, that the phrase "resident of California at the time of enlistment" will be liberally interpreted. It simply means "living here," and not paying taxes or being registered or having lived in the state for a specified time. The veterans' welfare board is established by this bill. It consists of five members to be appointed by the governor, of which four shall be ex officio men. Only the chairman will available to mothers, brothers and sisters of deceased or totally disabled veterans, while all, even widows and orphans, are excluded if they have means of their own to provide for education.

Befor that last day of summer the governor will have appointed the five members of the veterans' welfare board, which under the new acts, will have administrative control of this comprehensive welfare scheme. Not all of California's veterans can avail themselves of the state's credit in buying gimmediately a home in town or a farm. The first purpose is to afford a measure of relief and practical aid to disabled veterans. They are to have first call. Preference is to be given in allotment of the "colony" lands and purchase of individuals farms to disabled men, particularly the "trainees" in agriculture—which term means disabled men who are receiving vocational training in agriculture. Likewise, in purchase of town homes disabled veterans are to be given preference. To get this welfare project started with all speed, the legislature appropriated $2,000,000 as a revolving fund to start the purchase of town homes and individual farms, $1,000,000 as another fund to launch the farm colony plan and $500,000 for education of those "whose education was interrupted by the world war." Supplemental to this last the legislature enacted another bill, known as the Rigdon bill, setting aside as a fund for the education of widows andorphans of veterans and wives and children of men who suffered "total permanent disability," the receipts from the sale of delinquent tax property, which vary from $35,000 to $75,000 per year. Able-bodied veterans who contemplate using the state credit to secure town homes or farms will have to be patient, carrying on alone for a time while their disabled buddies are being settled on farms or in town homes. It is estimated that the funds appropriated will accomplish this service fairly completely for California's disabled veterans. Then for the able-bodied ones, the legislative enactments provide that in November, 1922, there shall be submitted to the voters of the state a proposition to issue $10,000,000 of bonds for a revolving fund to widen the program so that able-bodied veterans may be placed on the land or provided with town homes. That the people of the state will refuse to vote the bonds is inconceivable, for the interest payments on loans will pay the interest on the bonds, so that no man's taxes will not elbow forward till their unfortunate buddies are snugly placed. It should be said, too, that the phrase "resident of California at the time of enlistment" will be liberally interpreteed. It simply means "living here," and not paying taxes or being registered or having lived in the state for a specified time. The veterans' welfare board is established by this bill. It consists of five members to be appointed by the governor, of which four shall be service men. Only the chairman will be paid a salary. This board, by a method carefully provided to insure getting good value, will select and purchase a large tract or tracts of land for colonization. If desirable, it will set aside a townsite; it will subdivide the rest, erect a dwelling house and necessary outhouses on each piece and seed or plant it, so that the disabled veteran can move on a "going" farm. When the colony lands are ready, the board will advertise that fact and disabled veterans will apply for allotments. Each farm of the colony must be kept down t oa value, including improvements, of not more than $15,000. The board holds the title and the purchaser pays 5 per cent interest on the purchase price, with forty years to pay off the land purchase price and twenty years to pay off the cost of buildings. No cash payment at the time of entering on the land is required! further, the veteran locating in the colony may borrow not to exceed $3000 from the board to buy farm machinery and stock, at 5 per cent interest, the principal to be paid back in not more than five years. Hence a veterans—agricultural "trainees" and disaubled men coming first—may get a colony farm even though he has not a dollar to his name, provided the board is convinced that his physical condition and training give him a fair chance to make a living and ultimately pay out. Veterans owning property to the value of $15,000 are excluded from the benefits of any of these welfare measures. The bill provides also for "agricultural laborer" allotments, under which land of value not to exceed $1000 and a cottage to be built by the board at a cost not to exceed $1500 may be allotted to a veteran, he to pay 5 per cent interest. This feature is means to place on the land men whose mental and physical equipment would preclude success as independent farmers. Under direction of the board, colony farmers will obtain federal money must not elbow forward till their unfortunate buddies are snugly placed.

That the people of the state will refuse to vote the bonds is inconceivable, for the interest payments on loans will pay the interest on the bonds, so that no man's taxes will be increased. The first results so far as disabled veterans are concerned will begin to be achieved in the early autumn. First of all, the funds for education will be available as soon as the new acts are operative—that is, August 31. A soldier or sailor or marine resident of California who left school or college to go to war and who wants to go back to school or college will be able to apply before that time to the "veterans' welfare board," the office of which will be in Sacramento, for blank forms to fill out. Upon proper showing, he will be voted the benefits under senate bill 593. This act is especially important to veterans who have been put in "class three" under federal vocational training, which does not give them a monthly allowance for living expenses. It is understood, by the way, that administration of all these acts will be liberal, and that veterans who were not actually in school at the time of enlistment will be given this educational help under senate bill No. 976. Likewise, widows and orphans and wives and children entitled to educational help under senate bill No. 976 will be able, it is expected, to start their schooling in the autumn of this year. The benefits, strictly speaking, are limited to "dependents" and so are The bill provides also for "agricultural laborer" allotments, under which land of value not to exceed $1000 and a cottage to be built by the board at a cost not to exceed $1500 may be allotted to a veteran, he to pay 5 per cent interest. This feature is means to place on the land men whose mental and physical equipment would preclude success as independent farmers. Under direction of the board, colony farmers will obtain federal land loans, to be applied toward the purchase price of their allotments, thus returning to the revolving fund moneys for development of other colonies. As has been stated, location on colony farms of necessity will be delayed for some months at least after August 31. Starting with disabled veterans this autumn, with red tape eliminated and sympathetic administration the watchword, it is planned that as the years pass all veterans who lack money to buy homes or farms will be helped by state credit and guidance to become owners of comfortable homes in town or cities, or of profitable farms, and at trivial cost to the state. The entire scheme is based on use of the state's credit to provide revolving funds without increase of taxes. It is a magnificent conception, comprehensive, involving both kindly assistance out of public appreciation and gratitude and the certainty of immense benefit to California through making a large number of her veterans farm owners and home owners.

ACALA COTTON Though yields of Acala cotton at the rate of 2.07 and 2.83 bales per acre were obtained last year on experimental plats at the government date farm at Indio, Calif., specialists of the United States department of agriculture find it necessary to caution farmers against crediting newspaper reports which place the yield at four, five, and even six bales. The variety was acclimatized only a few years ago. It was named for the place in southern Mexico where the original seed was secured. The yields generally are good and the fiber is of superlod quality, being under favorable conditions, 1-3-16 inches long in comparison with 1-1-16 for Triumph or Mebane, 1-1-8 for Lone Star, and 1-1-4 for Durango. This causes it to sell usually at a premium of several cents a pound more than ordinary cotton. The variety has become popular in Oklahoma and northern Texas, and as a result of the experiments last year a movement is afoot to produce large quantities of pure seed of this variety in the Coachella valley of California, where conditions are favorable for the production of pure, high-class seed, not only for local use, but for shipment to other cotton regions that do not have good planting seed. The co-operation of the state department of agriculture of California is being sought by the Acala Cotton Growers' association for inspecting the fields and certifying the quality of seed, with such assistance as can be given by the bureau of plant industry, United States department of agriculture, in roguing and selection work. Although the results secured at Indio must be considered exceptional and not to be expected in regular farm practice, the Acala cotton usually is prolific, and usually stands near the head of the list when compared with city, for example, municipal ordinances require that a street peddler pay a license in order to make up for the fact that he transacts his business on public streets maintained at public expense, whereas the merchant must pay rent. The government bears the expense of improving rivers and harbors. It bore the expense of building the Panama canal. Now it is proposed that the railroads, which must pay interest and dividends on the capital they have invested, shall be required to compete with ocean and river traffic which pays none of the cost of improving the rivers and harbors. The public pays the expense of improving the highways and keeping them in passable condition, and, as a result commercial automobile trucks are now handling a large amount of short-haul traffic at prices which the railroads cannot meet. It is quite likely that the merchant who believes the peddler should be required to pay a license for the privilege of selling his goods on the public thoroughfare will see some reason in the argument of Mr. Kruttschmitt that commercial auto trucks and steamships should pay some special toll for the use of publicly maintained highways and waterways. It is not an answer to Mr. Kruttschmitt to say that the railroads should be able to meet the competition. Undoubtedly they could meet it if left to their own resources in the fixing of rates and payment of wages. This they are not permitted to do. The interstate commerce commission determines how much they may charge for either local or a transcontinental haul. The railroad labor board determines how much they shall pay to their employees who take the greater part of the railroad income. It is quite likely that if a portion of the land of a community were owned by the government, the fences maintained the ditches kept cleared. ACAALA COTTON GROWERS’ ASSOCIATION FOR INSPECTING THE FIELDS AND CERTIFYING THE QUALITY OF SEED, WITH SUCH ASSISTANCE AS CAN BE GIVEN BY THE BUREAU OF PLANT INDUSTRY, UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE, IN ROGUING AND SELECTION WORK. Although the results secured at Indio must be considered exceptional and not to be expected in regular farm practice, the Acala cotton usually is prolific, and usually stands near the head of the list when compared with other well-known varieties, including Mebane, Lone Star, Trice, and Durango. Such comparisons, in adjoining rows or blocks, have not been limited to the eastern cotton belt, but have been repeated for several years in the irrigated valleys of Arizona and California, and in different localities, including the Yuma experiment farm at Bard, Calif., and the plant introduction garden at Chico, Calif. Though cotton has been grown in the Coachella valley for several years, the early efforts were not very successful, and no very favorable results have been secured from repeated attempts with Egyptian cotton, which often fails to set many bolls until late in the season. Excessive abortion of buds and young bolls of the Egyptian cotton, and even of many of the lower fruiting branches, has been ascribed to high temperatures and dry winds, but in recent years the Durango variety of upland cotton, whic his somewhat like the Acala, has yielded well. The more compact habit of upland cotton may afford more protection against the dry winds. Also careful leveling and irrigation are now practiced in the valley in raising the Bermuda onions and other truck crops that often are followed by cotton. Several late plantings of Durango cotton, after the onion harvest in May, and in some cases as late as the middle of June, have yielded a bale per acre, with the precaution of restricting the size of the plants by the single-stalk method of deferred thinning and close spacing, 6 to 8 inches in the rows. That the Acala plantings gave heavy yields in a season that was unusually hot may indicate a special tolerance of extreme conditions. In other districts the variety has appeared distinctly more resistant to drought as well as earlier than Durango. The bolls are larger and open better, with the cotton holding well together so that picking is easy. The percentage of 5-locked bolls is somewhat higher as well as the lint percentage or "out-turn" at the gin. The prospect of a large outflow of their own resources in the mixing rates and payment of wages. This they are not permitted to do. The interstate commerce commission determines how much they may charge for either local or a transcontinental haul. The railroad labor board determines how much they shall pay to their employees who take the greater part of the railroad income. It is quite likely that if a portion of the land of a community were owned by the government, the fences maintained, the ditches kept cleared, the buildings kept in repair and the taxes paid by the government, and these lands let out rent free to a number of agriculturists, the rest of the farmers of the community would insist that this was unfair competition. If they were subjected to such competition they would undoubtedly be more inclined to take the view of Mr. Krutt-schnitt that the untaxed water and highway competition of the railroads is unfair to them. NEW MINING METHOD What is probably a coming method of mine examination was inaugurated when Dr. E. E. Free, representing a syndicate of New York bankers, used a huge bombing airplane and motion pictures in examining the large borax mine of the West End Chemical company owned by "Borax" Smith, 20 miles east of La Vergas. Dr. Free, who is an internationally famous geologists, came from Lo$_5$ Angeles in four hours flying time in a plane supplied by the Mercury Aviation company, landing in a field prepared by the Las Vegas Aviation club. The plane then proceeded to the borax mine, where a special landing field had been prepared at the mouth of the workings. Not only was an aerial examination made to supplement the usual geological investigation, but aerial photographs were made by F. M. Blackwell, San Francisco motion picture photographer. Expressing himself as being enthusiastic over the results of the innovation, Dr. Free said: "Not only are aerial examinations valuable adjuncts to the usual kind, but they disclose many general features of geology discoverable otherwise only by weeks of work. Ten minutes in the air is better than ten days afoot. "The use of motion pictures is also an invaluable aid to geological engineers' report, making it possible for anyone to see all facts at a glance. In this case the entire 3000 foot outcrop of this huge vein is plainly discernible." That the Acala plantings gave heavy yields in a season that was unusually hot may indicate a special tolerance of extreme conditions. In other districts the variety has appeared distinctly more resistant to drought as well as earlier than Durango. The bolls are larger and open better, with the cotton holding well together, so that picking is easy. The percentage of 5-locked bolls is somewhat higher as well as the lint percentage or "out-turn" at the gin. The prospect of a large outside demand for the seed is a further reason for specializing on the Acala cotton in the Coachella valley. KRUTTSCHNITT'S SIDE OF THE RAILROAD ARGUMENT There are two sides to every question, and Mr. Kruttschnitt, of the S. P. railroad, has presented in a very convincing manner the railroad side of the hitherto unquestioned policy of providing all sorts of competition for the railroads and still expecting them to operate efficiently and at a profit. The government has adopted two methods of limiting railroad rates; one, that of requiring that rates be approved by the interstate commerce commission, and the other that of providing cheap transportation competition on publicly improved and maintained waterways and highways. Hedged around by all these handicaps and limitations and also required to pay wages fixed by a government board, the railroads believe themselves to be figuratively speaking, between the devil and the deep blue sea. Most people will not ask that the railroads be subjected to limitations or regulations that they would deem unfair if imposed upon themselves or their business. In practically every tion, Dr. Free said: "Not only are aerial examinations valuable adjuncts to the usual kind, but they disclose many general features of geology discoverable otherwise only by weeks of work. Ten minutes in the air is better than ten days afoot. "The use of motion pictures is also an invaluable aid to geological engineers' report, making it possible for anyone to see all facts at a glance. In this case the entire 3000 foot outcrop of this huge vein is plainly discernible." The mine is in a rugged and inaccessible country near Port Callville, once the head of navigation when water commerce filled, the Colorado river, and is near the site of the proposed Boulder canyon water power dam. Major W. C. Luckhardt, manager of the mine, is arranging a regular aeroplane transportation for supplies, mail and payroll, pending the completion of the auto truck road which is under construction. CANDLE AND GRADE EGGS Farm women frequently have entire charge of marketing of eggs, butter, and poultry. In some states they form what are called "egg circles" for marketing their eggs in large quantities. The eggs are collected regularly by one of the members or by some one hired by the circle. Efforts are being made by marketing agents of the United States department of agriculture to teach these farm women the value of properly candling and grading the eggs so that only the best are marketed.
