THE DIVINING ROD SUPPOSED TO BE USEFUL Instrument Used In Finding Mineral Deposits, Deposits of Oil and Underground Water The idea of a "divining rod" or some other instrument that may be used as a means of finding buried treasure, mineral deposits, and underground oil or water is a superstition that continues with marvelous persistence in spite of the lack of tangible results from its employment. It may be said without qualification or exception that no rod or instrument has yet been devised to find buried treasures, nor any instrument that will indicate the presence of gold, silver, copper, lead, zinc, or other nonmagnetic metals, or their ores, that are hidden from view under ground. Iron, nickel and some minerals that contain these metals are magnetic, and the dip-ncedle or miner's compass has been adapted to us in prospecting for these metals. Such an instrument can be purchased, but special training is required to enable anyone to use it successfully. A volume published by the United States geological survey, department of the interior, entitled "Mineral Resources of the United States, calendar year 1911," Part I, pages 144 to 154, contains a discussion of methods of prospecting for iron ore by magnetic surveys and by drills. Although the use of the dip needle is theoretically simple, much practice is required to make accurate observations with it, and after these are made they must be interpreted by the consideration of many factors, so that the unskilled user is likely to be disappointed in his results. The edition of the volume above mentioned available for free distribution is now out of stock at the geological survey, but a copy may be purchased from the superintendent of documents, Washington, D.C., for 90 cents. specialists of the United State department of agriculture. All the tomatoes for a salad may be scalded before peeling by lowering them quickly into boiling water for a few seconds. Some peel peaches in the same way. Beets may be readily peeled if after cooking they are plunged into cold water merely long enough to loosen the skin, but not chill the hot vegetable. In boiling eggs for the family breakfast, place the required number in the wire basket and lower into boiling water. When the eggs are done they can easily be removed all at the same time by lifting out the basket. In frying croquette or potato chips the use of the wire basket to hold the material to be fried saves time and energy. For frying doughnuts instead of placing the doughnuts in the basket use the bottom of the basket to force the doughnuts under the surface of the fat as soon as they rise to the top. This use of the basket saves time and fat, for doughnuts fried under the fat absorbs less grease and can be fried in a shorter time. The basket can also be used to drain the fat from the doughnuts after frying. Another use for the wire basket is in grating soft cheese. It is much easier to force the cheese through the meshes of the wire basket than through a grater. WARNING TO ALIENS Interest was shown here in a dispatch received from San Francisco stating that Judge W. W. Morrow, of the United States circuit court of appeals, had issued a warning that aliens who failed to register as required by the alien poll tax law and who failed to pay the tax by August 1, may be denied citizenship if they later apply for papers in the federal court. At the same time County Clerk J. M. Packs said that little difficulty had been experienced by deputies in this county in registering the aliens. ARE FARMER Farm Bureau Feement—Cost Farm We have the flies taken as a whole seen; our farmers in intelligence; they have advanced systems yet developed. This they are now lod and are suffice losses. Farmerization, especially the west, are expert same trouble. The south, the ranch and sheep grow fruit growers; this same valley and financial strife. People who are agriculturist find the situation. That the depressure really is. They go off our land; to which farm prior to this he number of auto farmers; to these comfort on even fuse to take sewers say concern. There are two spread agricultural high cost owe If we include a properly enter location, we find, cost of producing Iowa, the great more than 90 cent land cost, the thing else which If we omit the price which a bushel of corn below what it required to make accurate observations with it, and after these are made they must be interpreted by the consideration of many factors, so that the unskilled user is likely to be disappointed in his results. The edition of the volume above mentioned available for free distribution is now out of stock at the geological survey, but a copy may be purchased from the superintendent of documents, Washington, D.C., for 90 cents. Gold, silver, copper, lead and zinc are not magnetic, and no instrument now in use will indicate the presence of these metals or their ores if they are hidden from view within the ground. Devices that are supposed to indicate the presence of concealed non-magnetic ore are usually offered for sale either through ignorance or with intent to defraud. Some honest attempts have been made to prospect for non-magnetic ores by measuring in different directions the capacity of the ground to conduct an electric current, the idea being that ground containing metallic material will conduct the current better than that which contains none. These attempts, as well as trials with other electrical devices, however, have not been successful, and the various forms of such apparatus could not be used by one unfamiliar with electrical work. Some measurements of the electric potential of metallic minerals were made several years ago in the laboratory of the United States geological survey by R. C. Wells, and the results were published in the survey's bulletin 548, entitled "Electric activity in ore deposits," which may be had for 10 cents from the superintendent of documents. The results obtained by Mr. Wells, however, do not afford an adequate basis for any method of electrical prospecting, and it is still doubtful whether electrical methods of prospecting for non-magnetic ores will ever be useful, although they may have limited application in searching for certain kinds of ores. Most deposits of the precious and semi-precious metals and their ores are discovered by those who, by experience, have become familiar with the kinds of rock in which the ores are found and who use the ordinary methods of prospecting. No instrument other than the drill has been devised that will indicate the presence of water or oil underground. In determining the probable existence of underground supplies of these liquids, geologists are guided by their patch received from San Francisco stating that Judge W. W. Morrow, of the United States circuit court of appeals, had issued a warning that allens who failed to register as required by the alien poll tax law and who failed to pay the tax by August 1, may be denied citizenship if they later apply for papers in the federal court. At the same time County Clerk J. M. Backs said that little difficulty had been experienced by deputies in this county in registering the aliens. "Most of the aliens here are Mexicans," said Backs, "and for the most part they come up and register without complaint. "The deputy at Delhi has taken out six registration books, each of which contain twenty-five blanks, and the deputy at Yorba has three. Reports from Alamitos and Anaheim presage a heavier registration there than was expected. "Three deputies are covering Santa Ana and they say they have encountered no trouble among the aliens in getting them to sign up." The warning issued by Judge Morrow at San Francisco followed an announcement in federal court by George A. Crutchfield, chief naturalization examiner, that he would challenge the application of any alien who had not registered and paid the tax by August 1. Judge Morrow said in reply that it was only fair to warn the aliens on the government's stand, but added that he was not passing on the constitutionality of the law and that any alien had right to make a legal test of the law. If the law holds, however, Judge Morrow indicated, failure to comply with it can be considered a ground for challenging an alien's qualifications for citizenship. WORK ON THE HARBOR Approximately 300 carloads of rock has been placed on the main entrance jetty at Newport harbor and the rebuilding of the original jetty to an eight-foot height the entire length has been completed, according to the report of Engineers Leeds and Barnard, on file with the Orange county harbor commission. A total of 9000 tons of rock was used to raise the Newport jetty to near its original grade after it had been flattened out by the storms of a year ago, under a $50,000 bond issue of the city of Newport Beach. In addition, a considerable quantity if we include properly enter tion, we find, cost of producing Iowa, the great more than 90 cent land cost, the thing else which If we omit the price which a bushel of corn below what it The largest itemduction is not.

It can be set directly on the ice to keep the product crisp, say home economics building of the original jetty to an eight-foot height the entire length has been completed, according to the report of Engineers Leeds and Barnard, on file with the Orange county harbor commission. A total of 9000 tons of rock was used to raise the Newport jetty to near its original grade after it had been flattened out by the storms of a year ago, under a $50,000 bond issue of the city of Newport Beach. In addition, a considerable quantity of rock has been placed by Contractor Ledbetter on the 200-foot jetty extension provided for under the county $500,000 bond issue which will bring to the jetty a total length of 2100 feet. Some 21,000 tons of rock will be used on the county's part of the work. The big steam dredge, which has been cleaning out the channel at Rocky point, will complete its work there within a week or ten days. It expected, the slit being placed in an area of marsh land adjoining the Newport city channel near the fish cannery. This done, the dredge will proceed to the harbor entrance, which will be dredged to a depth of 20 feet at low tide and a width of 300 feet. The dredging will then be completed by finishing the upper turning basin near the county road and cleaning out an area between Balboa and Balboa island, provided for under a Balboa district bond issue. Negotiations are under way through which it is hoped much of the slit taken from the entrance can be used for filling in the lower end of the sandspit, which is not yet built up and which can thus be raised to a suitable grade at a minimum of cost. A man sometimes has to go broko for he will unbend. ANAHEIM GAZETTE ARE FARMERS PROFITEERS Farm Bureau Federation Issues Statement—Cost of Production of Farm Crops We have the finest rural civilization, taken as a whole, the world has ever seen; our farmers average very high in intelligence; they produce more per man than almost any other farmers in the world; they have adopted the most advanced system of extensive farming yet developed. Notwithstanding all this they are now in a most trying period and are suffering severe financial losses. Farmers throughout the nation, especially those in the south and west, are experiencing exactly the same trouble. The cotton farmers of the south, the rice farmers, the cattle and sheep growers of the far west, the fruit growers; all are passing through this same valley of discouragement and financial stress. People who are not familiar with agriculture find it hard to understand the situation. They refuse to believe that the depression is as serious as it really is. They point to the high value of our land; to the high prices at which farm products were selling prior to this heavy drop, to the large number of automobiles owned by the farmers; to the apparent wealth and comfort on every side; and they refuse to take seriously what the farmers say concerning their troubles. There are two causes for this widespread agricultural depression. One is the high cost of production last year. If we include all the factors which properly enter into the cost of production, we find, for example, that the cost of producing a bushel of corn in Iowa, the greatest corn state, was more than 90 cents. This includes the land cost, the labor cost, and everything else which ought to be included. If we omit the land charge altogether, the price which the farmer can get for a bushel of corn is still considerably below what it cost him to produce it. FORD PLAN BUILDS 108,962 CARS IN JUNE Demands Exceed Output of Ford Breaks All Previous Records During the month of June, the Ford Motor company, through its Detroit factories and 22 assembly plants throughout the country reached the production of 108,972 Ford cars and trucks, setting a new high record for one month. Production of Ford cars and trucks has been steadily increasing since early spring, and shows substantial gains over the same period last year. The second quarter of 1921, viz: April, May and June, shows an output of 301,796 Ford cars and trucks against 220,.78 for the same three months of last year, or a net increase of 80,918. Despite the fact, however, that the Ford plants have been running at maximum capacity, the demand for Ford cars and trucks is not being met, and at the present time, many thousand unfilled orders have been piled up ahead so that Ford sales are still limited by manufacturing facilities rather than marketing possibilities. Particularly is this true with respect to enclosed cars, for which the demand has been unusually heavy. One reason cited by Ford officials for the unprecedented demand for Ford cars is the present tendency toward economy. Many of those whose names have been added to the long list of buyers might well have afforded larger and more costly cars than the Ford, but it is the belief that most prospective motor car buyers are investigating all of the costs incident to motorizing much more carefully than at any period during the past five years. The estimated output of the Ford factories for July calls for 109,000 cars and trucks, or a production of 4360 a day for 25 days. Since the assembling of cars is being handled during an eight hour work day only, the hourly output will be 545 cars. In other words, THE BARLEY CROP Harvesting of the barley crop in Orange county is now in full swing and new grain is coming into the warehouse at Irvine, according to Harry Spencer, manager of the warehouse. The quality is excellent and the yield is good. The grain is bright and in fine condition, says Spencer. Market conditions are not the most favorable at this time, and it is reported that few of the growers will let their holdings go at prevailing quotations. One of the best crops of blackeye beans ever grown in this section is predicted for this year. The vines have a healthy appearance and indications point to a heavy yield. "We will have high grade blackeye beans this year," was the statement of Charles Morris, bean buyer and recognized authority on bean culture. "The blackeye is essentially a dry land bean. This year many acres are planted on lands that formerly have been devoted to limas, being planted before the last heavy rains and when farmers thought the rainfall would not be sufficient to produce limas. "The condition of the ground, and the late rains are a combination that will make the yield heavy and the quality exceptional. The lima bean ground will hold the moisture and the blackeyes will develop larger and better beans as a result." The green cabbage worm can be killed with an arsenate of lead spray in which laundry soap has been mixed to make it adhere to the leaves. This treatment will also kill the cabbage looper and other cabbage worms. Nicotine sulphate or kerosene emulsion and soap should be used against the herlequin cabbage bug and plant lice or "aphis." the high cost of production last year. If we include all the factors which properly enter into the cost of production, we find, for example, that the cost of producing a bushel of corn in Iowa, the greatest corn state, was more than 90 cents. This includes the land cost, the labor cost, and everything else which ought to be included. If we omit the land charge altogether, the price which the farmer can get for a bushel of corn is still considerably below what it cost him to produce it. The largest item of cost in corn production is not land, but labor. The second cause of the farmer's trouble is this: Price of farm products have dropped out of all proportion to the prices of other things, as well as out of all proportion to the cost of production. Now note the prices of some of the things the farmer must buy. Wages of farm hands are about 100 per cent above the prewar normal, railroad rates are from 70 to 90 per cent above pre-war normal, such basic commodities as pig iron, coke, petroleum, lumber, Portland cement, are far above the pre-war normal—from 100 to 150, and in some cases, 200 per cent above the pre-war normal. In other words, when the farmer is selling the things he produces at prices no higher, and, for great surplus crops, lower than the pre-war normal, he must buy practically everything he needs at prices from 50 to 150 per cent above the pre-war normal. The severe agricultural depression is inevitable as long as such a condition exists and this depression will certainly be communicated to industry and business generally. It is a situation which should challenge the very best thought of the entire nation. If it continues the trouble will be communicated to everyone. We are brothers one of another. Anything which hurts the farmer will very soon be communicated to all of our citizens. The farmers represent probably 35 to 40 per cent of the population. Anything which seriously affects their buying power will bring trouble to the people who make or deal in the things the farmer buys. We can not hope to reach normal conditions until we arrive on a price level which will be fair to all our people and all products. Farm products must come up in price and other products come down until the normal relation between them has been restored. The farmer is the one man engaged with more costly care and the work but it is the belief that most prospective motor car buyers are investigating all of the costs incident to motoring much more carefully than at any period during the past five years. The estimated output of the Ford factories for July calls for 109,000 cars and trucks, or a production of 4360 a day for 25 days. Since the assembling of cars is being handled during an eight hour work day only, the hourly output will be 545 cars. In other words, one Ford car or truck leaves the assembly line every 6-12 seconds. PHIL SWING A LEADER Word received from Washington, D.C., through the Citrus Protective league, is to the effect that Congressman Phil D. Swing, representing this district, is in the forefront in the fight for citrus tariffs and that he has done thorough and effective work. Swing's activities for the citrus growers is what was to be expected. He grew to manhood in a citrus section, and is thoroughly acquainted with citrus problems. Before leaving for Washington, he went over his district and made a careful study of the situation, with particular reference to the need of tariffs for oranges, lemons, walnuts and beans. At that time, largely through the auspices of Orange county men, he was placed in close touch with the associations and leagues that are handling products, so that since he reached Washington he has been kept constantly informed concerning the needs of the industries in which his district is interested. Officials of the Citrus Protective league are authority for the statement that Swing has made himself a forceful and convincing leader in the fight, and commendation of Swing's efforts has been sent to him by representatives of the citrus industry. This county was solidly with Swing in his race for congress, and that no mistake was made in sending him to Washington is a matter of congratulation. He not only is making but has made good on his job. His energy, resourcefulness and loyalty to his district have counted for much. WALNUT TARIFF HEARING Walnut and almond growers of California will be given an opportunity to present to the ways and means committee further proof that the tariff of 31 cents on unshredded walnuts and 4 more costly care and the work but it is the belief that most prospective motor car buyers are investigating all of the costs incident to motoring much more carefully than at any period during the past five years. The estimated output of the Ford factories for July calls for 109,000 cars and trucks, or a production of 4360 a day for 25 days. Since the assembling of cars is being handled during an eight hour work day only, the hourly output will be 545 cars. In other words, one Ford car or truck leaves the assembly line every 6-12 seconds. ORANGE COUNTY BUSINESS COLLEGE Santa Ana, California Enrollments now active for our tail term.

We can not hope to reach normal conditions until we arrive on a price level which will be fair to all our people and all products. Farm products must come up in price and other products come down until the normal relation between them has been restored. The farmer is the one man engaged in a big business who has had no voice in fixing the price of the things he produces. He has been compelled to take whatever prices he could get. His cost of production has not at any time been considered in determining this price. In times of large crop prices frequently have been ruliously low. Very large crops, as a rule, give the farmer fewer dollars than small crops. Farming seems to be one business in which large production is always penalized. It is not a question of production alone, it is a question of the farmer being able to sell what he produces at a price which will justify him in continuing to produce. We are the best producers in the world, but our sales system is very bad, indeed. We must study everything which influences both production and probable needs. In short, the people of the nation must come to understand that our prosperity as a nation depends upon a prosperous and wholesome agriculture. We will get through this period. The nation is not going bankrupt. The farmers are not going bankrupt. Neither are the ygoing to lie down on their job. Gradually farm prices will be brought into fair relation with other prices and we will go ahead hitting on all cylinders. Washington is a matter of congratulation.

WALNUT TARIFF HEARING Walnut and almond growers of California will be given an opportunity to present to the ways and means committee further proof that the tariff of 21-2 cents on unshelled walnuts and 4 cents on unshelled almonds is not ample to protect the industry, according to assurances given by Congressmen Osborne, Linebarger and other members from California, advices received here state. Growers declare that unless the tariff proposed in the permanent bill is increased the industry will be ruined by the importation of Chinese and other inferior nuts produced by pauper labor. The hearings will be held at an early date, if efforts now under way are successful. It is understood that representatives of these interests will be sent to Washington to present facts which it is hoped will induce the ways and means committee to make recommendations for a high rate on both products. Growers of nuts have been bombarding California representatives with protests on the rates provided in the original draft of the new tariff bill. It is said that the protests against the low rates on these two commodities have been greater than against any other single item in the tariff, at least so far as it affects California industries.
