BEAN GROWERS BATTLING FOR HIGHER TARIFF That the bean growers of California are not satisfied with the 1-3-4 cent tariff in beans, which it is reported as having been decided upon by the ways and means committee Tuesday, is indicated by the continued activity of the California Bean Growers' association, representing thousands of growers, to have the rate at least equal to that incorporated in the emergency tariff, of 2 cents a pound. J. V. Mendenhall, president of the association, has issued the following statement regarding the situation: "The tariff committee of the association has had its headquarters in Washington during the past month and with the assistance of congressional and senatorial representatives from the state, has been able to increase the proposed rate from 1 1-4 to 1 3-4 cents. Through this committee, the California state market director bean growers, dealers, farm bureaus, chamber of commerce and others interested in the industry in the six bean producing states of the country, have been brought into the campaign to get protection against oriental importations which have seriously menaced the domestic product and which, in 1919, practically broke the 6000 or more growers in California. The tremendous imports of 1918, 1919, and 1920, on a large measure, caused a decrease in acreage in California alone of from 592,000 acres in 1918 to 287,000 acres in 1920, and a falling off in value of the crop from $47,952,000 in 1918 to $9,269,324 in 1920, or a loss to the state of nearly $39,000,000. Under normal conditions, domestic production will take care of home consumption, and beans are not like many of the other crops of which there is more or less surplus for export. The result is that oriental beans, produced by cheap labor of Japan and China, without ament circular 31, which may be had upon application to the division of publications, department of agriculture,, or enlist the help and advice of experienced persons near by. Briefly, the hens to cull are those that are sick, weak, inactive, lacking in vigor, poor eaters, with shrunken, hard, dull, or whitish colored combs; with thick, stiff pelvic bones that are close together; small spread or distance between rear end of keel and pelvic bones; full firm, or hard abdomen; and those that have molted or started to molt in August or September. In breeds having yellow legs and skin the discarded hens should also show yellow or medium-yellow legs, yellow beaks, and yellow skin around the vent. The hens to be kept should be healthy, vigorous, active, good eaters, with plump, bright-red combs; large, moist vents; thin, pliable pelvic bones spread well apart; a wide spread between pelvic bones and rear end of keel; large, soft, pliable abdomen; and neither molted nor molting in August or September. In breeds with yellow legs and skin the hens you keep should also show pale or white legs and pale or white beaks and vents. As soon as the culling is finished all the hens you have discarded should be marketed at once. It doesn't pay to keep one. Cock bird not wanted as breeders should be canned, eaten, or marketed immediately. Cockerels saved for breeding should be vigorous, strong, active, and alert, and should be those that have grown most rapidly and developed the best. No bird lacking these qualities will be a good breeder. Pullets that are weak, undersized, and poorly developed also should be eaten, canned or marketed, as they will not be profitable producers; but no thrifty well-developed pullets should ever be disposed of in this way,because it is these pullets when kept for layers and breeders that will not the orange county farm a profit of hundreds creased value of man the farm by the slim acid phosphate, access Advisor H.

Under normal conditions, domestic production will take care of home consumption, and beans are not like many of the other crops of which there is more or less surplus for export. The result is that oriental beans, produced by cheap labor of Japan and China, without a protective tariff, can be unloaded in the United States and take the markets away from the domestic product, and one of the largest and most important industries of the state will be seriously affected. "Another economic factor that should be considered is, beans are one of the principal foodstuffs used by the army and navy, and in time of war the industry should be in such a condition that it will not be necessary to depend upon a foreign country for our food supplies, which would be the case, as far as beans are concerned, should the industry of the country be forced to materially curtail production owing to the fact that beans could not be grown at a fair profit or in competition with the orient. "Steps are being taken to carry the fight into the senate if congress fails to give the needed relief." CULL OUT BOARDER HENS IN YOUR POULTRY YARDS Feed and Labor Are Too Expensive to Give in Supporting Non-productive Hens and Cockerels Laws against vagrancy have been long on the statutes of this country. The man who won't work, who doesn't return society something for the privilege of enjoying the alleged delights of modern civilization, has to go to jail, and work on the roads or in a stone quarry for his food and bed. Man may have gained his idea for this law from the industrious honey bees. They have little use for drones. But a hen may go cackling around for months or years, and never lay an egg, and the owner be none the wiser unless he keeps up to modern ideas of poultry management and culls his flock occasionally. While culling should be continuous throughout the year in any well-conducted plant, the best time to emphasize the operation, perhaps, is during August and September, according to the teachings of experts of those that have grown most rapidly and developed the best. No bird lacking these qualities will b e a good breeder. Pullets that are weak, undersized, and poorly developed also should be eaten, canned or marketed, as they will not be profitable producers; but no thrifty, well-developed pullets should ever be disposed of in this way because it is these pullets when kept for layers and breeders that will not the greatest profits. The molt probably is the best and most easily applied test of production. Hens cease laying completely or almost entirely during this period. The better producers lay late in the fall, and therefore molt late. Late molters also molt rapidly as a rule, while early molters molt slowly. Therefore the advice to save hens which have not molted by August or are only just beginning late in September or in October, and discard those that have finned or are well into the molt. Hens that molt latest, provided they are otherwise desirable, are the best to have for breeders. CO-OPERATIVE MARKETING In California, where co-operative marketing has been most successful, financing of farmers and growers is done almost entirely through local bankers or correspondents. The crop mortgage is rapidly disappearing and funds are provided through promisory notes, bankers' acceptances or drafts drawn by growers and accepted by the co-operative organizations against non-perishable products stored in public warehouses. The California plan as it now functions shows that it is unnecessary for farmers to establish their own financial machinery, when, through proper organization, it has been proven that banking methods need not be upset or a new financing medium found. Successful co-operative marketing is the result of co-operation between growers, bankers, editors, educators and other leaders. Co-operative marketing associations must be correct in their operations. They are sure to fail if they have the wrong method. But with the right aim and the best methods, they are also sure to fall if they disregard the need for experienced and broad-guaged men to conduct the business; or ignore the mechanics of operation that parallel modern commercial and banking university's Time Teller November, 1920, it is still has a weak point in materials are not balanced proportion kinds of manure come seven times as much tassium as phosphorus manured soil evidences phorous is insufficient the nitrogen is found grains of cereals, light corn and grain crop turing."

CLAIMS ADJUSTMENT BUILT Changes were made to change county, at the meeting, which it essential by business change include the claims adjustment.

But a hen may go cackling around for months or years, and never lay an egg, and the owner be none the wiser unless he keeps up to modern ideas of poultry management and culls his flock occasionally. While culling should be continuous throughout the year in any well-conducted plant, the best time to emphasize the operation, perhaps, is during August and September, according to the teachings of experts of the United States department of agriculture. That is to say, if you intend to make just one culling in the year then August or September should be your date. It is easier then to make a close estimate of the relative value of a hen as an egg producer and to weed out the poor producers. Hens which show indications of laying or are laying and have not molted usually are the ones that have been the better layers during the entire season, and the hen that lays best during her first year usually will lay well during the second and third years. She is the hen to keep. It is not advisable, though, to keep hens of the heavier breeds, such as Plymouth Rocks, Rhode Island Reds, and Brahmas, beyond their second year, or of the smaller breeds, such as Leghorns and Anconas, beyond their third year, as they seldom prove profitable. In addition to culling the entire flock in August and September, you should always watch for hens that are sick or very thin in flesh, or that show signs of weakness or low vitality. When discovered cull them out at once. It will pay. Culling properly means using several tests, all fairly accurate if intelligently and carefully applied. For this reason it is wise to send for depart- Co-operative marketing associations must be correct in their operations. They are sure to fail if they have the wrong method. But with the right aim and the best methods, they are also sure to fall if they disregard the need for experienced and broad-guaged men to conduct the business; or ignore the mechanics of operation that parallel modern commercial and banking methods. There is necessity for careful study by experts of the particular commodity and of all the commercial conditions affecting it before any specific plan can ever be recommended as the right method of co-operative marketing for any particular farm product. A vast body of experience serves to guide and to provide precedents for the proper methods and operations of co-operative marketing associations. The movement is found in every civilized country in the world. In the United States, the movement has been most successful on the Pacific coast. In California alone, there are about 80,000 farmers organized into co-operative marketing associations, each built around a particular commodity handling an aggregate of over $250,000,000 worth of farm products annually. These associations cover perishable products, such as strawberries, pears, grapes, apples, oranges, lemons, milk and eggs; semiperishable products, such as potatoes and storage eggs; relatively non-perishable products such as prunes, raisins, dried peaches and apricots; non-perishable products such as walnuts, almonds, small beans, lima beans, canned fruits, baled alfalfa, bottled honey and grains.

It is not the club to pay too little will of any person as diplomatic and mentions as possible I have the good work of my fellow-employers their co-op success." "There is more and not much of e so-called poetry." ACID PHOSPHATE Orange county farmers could make a profit of hundreds of dollars in increased value of manure produced on the farm by the simple addition of acid phosphate, according to Farm Advisor H. E. Wahlberg, who states that this practice should become more universal among dairymen of the county. "The resulting product would add twenty to fifty per cent fertilizing value to the manure," he said. "In the growing of livestock, great volumes of farm manure are produced. In order to secure the greatest benefit from manures, the heavy losses through leaching and washing could be avoided and the fertilizing value increased by adding the property lacking to make the manure fully effective. "Experiments both in this country and abroad have shown that much of the loss through leaching and washing can be avoided by the addition of about 50 pounds of acid phosphate per ton of manure, either in the gutters or in the manure heap after it has been removed from the stalls. "At the Chico experiment station experiments covering a period of 21 years showed that either acid phosphate alone or manure alone considerably increased crop yields, but when the two were used together the combination had been 50 per cent more effective than manure alone. In the Ohio state university's Time Topics, No. 30, November, 1920, it is stated that 'Manure has a weak point, in that its plant food materials are not contained in a well balanced proportion. The various kinds of manure contain from three to seven times as much nitrogen and potassium as phosphorus. On heavily manured soil evidence that the phosphorous is insufficient in proportion to the nitrogen is found in the shriveled grains of cereals, light weight ears of corn and grain crops not properly ma- AMERICA AS LEADER With only a few exceptions, that serve merely to accentuate the proponent sentiment, the Democratic press of the country has paid tribute to President Harding's wise and conscientious statesmanship in inviting the principal powers to a conference on reduction of armaments at Washington at which also the international problems of the Pacific and far east will be discussed. While this prompt official action redeems Republican platform and campaign promises, which were reaffirmed by Mr. Harding in his pre-election speeches, 'it is generally recognised that the president's invitation expresses the feeling of the American people as a whole and is conceived in no desire to make partisan political capital. Our government is taking the leadership in this vital matter because it is America's logical role. It is now seen that the very fact that our nation kept aloof from European entanglement and refused to give its sanction to unjust features of the settlement makes our position one of peculiar influence. Instead of becoming a recluse, a "hermit nation," or being left out in the cold while the European powers and Japan were dividing up the spoils, we have attained a place of commanding power and leadership. Viewing the inequities, and even inequities, of the Versailles treaty in the proper perspective, from a distance, we are able to point out the deficiencies to be remedied. The acceptances already received by our government indicate that the most important and promising peace conference in the world's history will shortly be held in Washington. From it very well may develop that association of nations for the world's peace, based on principles of justice to the smallest and weakest, to whose organization President Harding is pledged. The United States, Great Britain, France, Italy and Japan hold the question of About the time a man thinks he has the word at his feet, the world gets up and steps on him. NOTICE FOR PUBLICATION In the Superior Court of the County of Orange, State of California. In the Matter of the Estate of Martha M. West, Deceased. Notice for Publication of Time of Proving Will, Etc. Notice is hereby given that Friday, the 2nd day of September, 1921, at 10 o'clock a.m., of said day, at the court room of this Court, Department No. 2, in the City of Santa Ana, County of Orange, State of California, has been appointed as the time and place for hearing the application of Charles D. Brown, praying that a document now on file in this Court, purporting to be an authenticated copy of the last will and Testament of the said deceased, be admitted to probate, that Letters of Administration with will annexed be issued thereon to said Charles D. Brown, at which time and place all persons interested therein may appear and contest the same. Dated August 12, 1921. J. M. BACKS, 8-19-t3 County Clerk. NOTICE TO CREDITORS Estate of James M. Cornellus, Deceased. Notice is hereby given, by the undersigned, administratorrix of the estate of James M. Cornellus, deceased, to the creditors of and all persons having claims against the said deceased to file them with the necessary vouchers in the office of the clerk of the superior Court of the County of Orange, State of California, or to exhibit the same with the necessary vouchers to the said administratorrix at her place of business, at the office of Ames & McFadden, at Suite No. 2, Odd Follows' The same publication says further: "Phosphating manure should become a common practice on the average farm. Probably by no other single practice can so much be done toward increasing crop production, saving labor, and swelling the farm income....The practice of adding phosphate to manure, however, is not common. This is due not to lack of merit in the combination, but rather because on many farms both manure and phosphate have not been thought necessary on the same crop, while on other farms the custom has been to apply the two separately—In a test case at the Ohio experiment station, eight tons of manure every three years has failed to produce either maximum crop yields or profits. "The remedy is to apply acid phosphate to the manure, either in heap or in pits, or if hauled direct from the stalls to the field it should be scattered over the manure in the spreader before distributing it in the field. The manure heap should be protected from the weather in order to secure the best results. "The present cost of phosphate is about $46 a ton. Adding fifty pounds to the ton of manure would add about $1 more to the cost of the manure, but would increase the value two or three times that amount." CLAIMS ADJUSTMENT BUREAU IS ADDED Changes were made in the organization of the Automobile Club of Orange county, at the recent directors' meeting, which it was declared were essential by business growth. The changes include the creation of a claims adjustment department. Upon the advice of A. S. Ralph, manager of the club, a claims adjustment department was created and W. L. Tubbs, who has long served the club as assistant manager, was elected The acceptances already received by our government indicate that the most important and promising peace conference in the world's history will shortly be held in Washington. From it very well may develop that association of nations for the world's peace, based on principles of justice to the smallest and weakest, to whose organization President Harding is pledged. The United States, Great Britain, France, Italy and Japan hold the question of the peace of the world in their hands. They must do more than reduce their fighting equipment. They must remove the causes of irritation that have continued after the war and may lead to another terrible conflict. The Washington conference, it is generally understood, will provide the golden opportunity. HOW LONG WILL ONE POUND OF BAKING POWDER LAST. Baking powder often runs short at a crucial moment when one has a cake half-mixed, thinking there is plenty of it on hand. Of course, the far-sighted housekeeper plans to replenish each of her pantry supplies before the stock is exhausted, but she generally buys baking powder in small quantity so as to have it fresh. A pound can of baking powder can be bought at regular intervals if one knows approximately how many teaspoonfuls it contains and how many teaspoonfuls are needed for the cooking during any given period. The experimental kitchen of the United States department of agriculture has determined, by scientific weighing and measuring, that there will be a variation between 125 and 150 teaspoonfuls in a 1-pound can of baking powder. This is assuming an average weight of 3.3 grams for a 5 c.c. or standard teaspoon. In a home where hot biscuits are made every morning, possibly 4 teaspoons of baking powder would be the average amount daily to leaven a pint of flour; if a cake was made on Saturday calling for 8 teaspoons of baking powder and perhaps cookies earlier in the week, requiring 2 teaspoons of baking powder, a minimum of about 33 teaspoons a week would be required. The pound can therefore should last from 3 to 5 weeks, but if extra baking, not counted in this estimate, is necessary, it would be well to replenish the baking powder once a month. Notice is hereby given, by the undersigned, administratrix of the estate of James M. Cornellus, deceased, to the creditors of and all persons having claims against the said deceased to file them with the necessary vouchers in the office of the clerk of the superior Court of the County of Orange, State of California, or to exhibit the same with the necessary vouchers to the said administratrix at her place of business, at the office of Ames & McFadden, at Suite No. 2, Odd Fellows' Building, at No. 133 West Center street, in the City of Anaheim, in the county of Orange, within ten months after the first publication of this notice.

The changes include the creation of a claims adjustment department. Upon the advice of A. S. Ralph, manager of the club, a claims adjustment department was created and W. L. Tubbs, who has long served the club as assistant manager, was elected to fill the new position. An increase in salary accompanies the ne woffice. A. J. Ralph now occupies the position of assistant manager, while David Carmichael fills the position of office manager. Joe Rowley, F. C. Arnin and Harry Rowbothen are the field representatives of the club. The report of the manager showed the business of the club for July to have been the largest in the history of the club, and indication for the future are bright, it is said. W. L. Tubbs will begin his now work immediately. "My new position will not be an easy one," said Tubbs, "but I am going to do my best to fill it to the satisfaction of the club. To be an adjuster, one must be perfectly impartial in all cases. It is not policy to permit the club to pay too much, nor is it policy to pay too little and so gain the ill will of any person. I am going to be as diplomatic and tactful in all judgments as possible, and knowing that I have the good wishes and friendship of my fellow-employees of the club, assuring their co-operation, I am sure of success."
