EXPECT RULING SOON ON ALIEN LAND LAW Status of Japanese Farmer in State Will Be Determined Interest of local farmers, particularly those land owners connected with the plan of farming on shares, was attracted to the approaching test of the California anti-alien lane law as it relates to crop-leasing contracts. The test, which is expected to determine the status of the Japanese farmer in this state, was outlined in information coming from San Francisco, where a federal ruling on the law has been asked. At the same time, news that the Japanese Exclusion league of California and the western association of twelve states, acting jointly in setting forth the position of California on Japanese immigration and related questions, had prepared a brief for the consideration of the secretary of state, heightened interest in the general situation. The ruling on the crop-leasing provision of the anti-alien land law, motion for which will be heard by three federal judges, is expected to arise in the suit filed by J. J. O'Brien, a Santa Clara county farmer, and J. Inouye, a Japanese, against Attorney General U. S. Webb and District Attorney C. C. Coolidge, of Santa Clara county, in which O'Brien and Inouye attack Webb's ruling that contracts to share crops with aliens who raise them are illegal. No date has been set for hearing on the motion. The brief on immigration, prepared by V. C. McClatchy, of Sacramento, for the Japanese Exclusion league, has been sent to Senator Hiram Johnson, chairman of the executive committee for the western association of twelve states. Carrying the endorsements of the two organizations, it will be presented to the secretary of state. PRESERVING EGGS FOR HOME USE Tests which involve the use of water glass and limewater for the preservation of eggs for home use have been carried on by the United States department of agriculture. They show that either water glass or limewater will preserve eggs successfully, and that white water glass is usually easiest to use and ordinarily gives better results. Limewater is a much cheaper preservative. It was found that limewater without salt gave slightly better results as a preservative than where salt was used. Air-slaked lime did not give as satisfactory results as where lump lime was tested. Galvanized receptacles were used successfully for limewater tests; the pails were thoroughly coated with melted paraffin previous to their use with the solution. Tests in which eggs were wrapped in tin foil and wax paper and kept in an open cellar or room were not at all satisfactory. Although the tin foil reduced evaporation to a negligible quantity, the eggs developed extreme mustiness within a short time. GOOD ROADS ARE COSTLY; FEDERAL AID HELPS BUILD 'EM Road projects in 18 states, totaling more than 265 miles and costing an aggregate of $7,693,778, or an average of over $29,000 per mile, were approved during July by the bureau of public roads.

WILL SEND PROTEST Orange county ranchers are expected to send written protests to the department of justice and California senators in Washington opposing modification of the court decision which prohibits packers from engaging in other lines of business than meat packing. Hearing will be held by the department as to whether the packers should be permitted extension of their activities into other lines of food products. Written protests will be received until November 18 and other hearing will begin November 28, when an assistant attorney general, the solicitor of the department of commerce and the solicitor of the department of agriculture will hear the evidence. Coincident with announcement of the hearings, came the statement that the federal farm loan board expects to loan $100,000,000 to farmers by next February. Applications for loans aggregating $177,000,000 have been made, it was said. The board now is floating a bond issue of $60,000,000 and with $30,000,000 now available and additional incidental funds, the board plans to complete its $100,000,000 loan program by February. The worst of the depression, which has seriously affected farmers throughout the country, is over, according to Henry C. Wallace, secretary of agriculture, in an address at Chicago. "CULTURE" SWISS CHEESE BRINGS HIGHER PRICES The method of making Swiss cheese with purified and controlled bacterial cultures, developed by the dairy division of the United States department of agriculture, has now passed definitely into the commercial stage. This new process was worked out in the dairy laboratories, given thorough trials in the experimental cheese factory operated by the dairy division at United States department of agriculture, for federal aid, according to the bureau's publication, "Public Roads," just off the press. The total federal aid approved for these projects is placed at $3,023,152, the remainder of the cost being borne by the states. All told, there were 56 such projects approved during the month. New York led with 20, Pennsylvania came second with 7, and Kentucky and South Carolina tied for third with 5 projects each. Four Texas projects were approved; New Mexico, Washington and Wisconsin had two each; and Arizona, Arkansas, Kansas, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Mississippi, Oklahoma, Tennessee and Virginia each had one project approved during the month. Wide variation was shown in the character of materials to be used in building approved roads, but concrete, bituminous macadam and gravel were the chief materials. NOTES OF THE OIL FIELD During the month of September, Huntington Beach increased its output 30,000 barrels over the previous month. The September production ran close to 243,000 barrels. The October output will run close to 300,000 barrels, according to the way the big wells are now coming in. By doing a little washing out at Huntington No. 3, the Amalgamated Oil company increased the production of the well from 270 to 370 barrels. Huntington No. 3 is 2719 feet deep.

Theprobableleadersnorth "CULTURE" SWISS CHEESE BRINGS HIGHER PRICES The method of making Swiss cheese with purified and controlled bacterial cultures, developed by the dairy division of the United States department of agriculture, has now passed definitely into the commercial stage. This new process was worked out in the dairy laboratories, given thorough trials in the experimental cheese factory operated by the dafry division at Grove City, Pa., and is now being used by a number of commercial factories in various parts of the country. The results obtained by two Ohio factories indicate that it will be worth while for those interested in the manufacture of Swiss cheese to adopt the method and give it a fair trial. For the cheese made in June of this year one of these factories received a straight price of 34 1-8 cents a pound; the other factory, 30 cents. At the same time other factories in this area received from 20 to 22 cents. Only one of them succeeded in selling for as high as 25 cents. For the July product, one of the factories received 36 cents for fancies and No. 1 and 27 cents for No. 2. The old-system factories received the same price as for June cheese. The principal reason the buyers were willing to pay this margin over the general run of cheese made in the locality was that the percentage of high grade cheese had been greatly increased. In June one of these two factories-made 94 per cent of fancy and No. 1 cheese and the other 90 per cent, whereas many factories using the old method make only 25 per cent of this class of product. Also birds of a feather fall to the same hunter. A deal of considerable importance was cleared late last week whereby the Huntington-Pacific takes over Huntington Central No. 2. Wigle & McBride, contractors, are doing the drilling and expect to complete the well. Running in the tools at 3132 some junk iron was found in the hole. This will be sidetracked with the rotary and the well drilled deeper. Huntington Central No. 2 is now in what has come to be a good part of the Huntington Beach field. E. J. Miley's big well dropped from 500 barrels to 200 barrels the first of the week. It is thought that the well is sanding up and may have to be washed out. Miley No. 1 was finished at 2705 feet and came in with an initial production of 1200 barrels. Increasing its production from 400 to 800 is what Miley-Kec kNo. 4 did last week. Coming from a depth of 3494, the big well is producing 26 gravity oil and flowing under a pressure of 440 pounds. The Petroleum company’s big well on the Porter lease across from the Republic Petroleum’s No. 1 has settled down to 400 barrels. This well was completed at 3489 and is in the deep sands.

This week the Rio Bravo Oil company entered the field. This company takes the much changed hands property, the Guaranty. The former Guaranty well will be known as Rio Bravo No. 1. No. 2 now building off-sets the Rhoades Oil company's No. 2 (Huntington National). Success has finally come to the Petroleum Midway. The success is measured by a 1600 barrel well at Vollmer-Meyer No. 4. Drilled to 3550 feet, the big well, now the second largest in the field, is producing 26 gravity oil, absolutely free from water and cutting four-tenths of 1 per cent. Vollmer-Meyer No. 1 is due next. This well at 3465 is showing up very strong and looks like a duplicate of the gusher. At Huntington E-2 the Standard brought in a 100-barrel well. The new well was completed at 2306. The Talbert Oil company's No. 1 may blow in and over the top any minute now. Drilling at 2325 the well is showing up very strong. An attempt is being made to drill through about 40 feet more of oil sand before bringing in the well. Unless the unforeseen arises, Vista Del Mar No. 2 will be on production the latter part of the week. Drilled to 2920, the well is being held up a few days waiting the arrival of a string of 4-inch casing. Baller samples taken from the well show a good gravity and clean oil. The Union Oil company started another well on the Copeland lease today. Copeland No. 6 is the new well and is building rig. Copeland No. 1. The Union's only producer, continues to produce consistently at 190 barrels. INTEREST DUE FROM EUROPE As the debate progresses on the tax bill, members of congress and the people generally are taking renewed in-ment; that nearly all classes of labor have been forced to accept reductions during the past year and that the government reports show that since July 1, 1920, living expenses have been going down. He concludes accordingly that a strike at this time would "be unwise." There is no doubt as to the soundness of his counsel. ARE THEY "SELF-HYPNOTIZED" A writer in an automobile journal says a good many motor accidents can be attributed only to the "self-hypnotism" of the drivers, and he relates several incidents in point. According to his theory there is a mysterious something in the motion of the rapidly proceeding car that deadens the senses at a time when they ought to be unusually alert. He has seen an expert chauffeur allow his car to crash head-on into another coming from the opposite direction and yet the man had his eyes wide open and his attention apparently was not distracted from the job of driving. Whatever there may be to this theory, certainly an increasing number of motorists are utterly oblivious to the rules both of the law and of common courtesy and safety in the operation of their cars. A writer mentions the following classes of dangerous and considerate drivers: The man who leaves his empty car stand in a busy street all day long; the man who turns a corner at fifteen miles an hour after a single toe of the horn, giving the pedestrian no chance; the man who fails to stop back of the building line when halted by a crossing cop; the man who passes to the left of a troley car whether the street is empty or crowded; the man who refuses to stay in the traffic line and persists in edging ahead of the man in front of him; the man who uses the left side of the street or roadway to get ahead of the line; the man who, intending to turn a corner rushes up alongside the PATERNALISM ABANDONED "The Republican national administration has won the confidence of the people by seeking to restore normal confidence through return to the only policies upon which permanent prosperity can be based—individual enterprise, energy and thrift," declares the Republican Publicity association, through its president, Hon. Jonathan Bourne, Jr. "There has been commendable abandonment of the recently prevalent theory that the only way, or the best way, to get things done was to have the government do them. There has been abandonment of the idea that the government can by flat or magic produce prosperity and provide lucrative employment for the people. "There are still some who believe that the best way to run a large business enterprise is to take management out of the hands of men who built it up and made it a success. There are still some who believe that if a man has made a success of handling large sums of money in large enterprises, thus giving employment to large numbers of men, the best way to keep things going is to tax the successful man so heavily that he either have no surplus with which to expand his undertakings or will be so thoroughly discouraged that he will retire from business and invest his savings in non-taxable securities, leaving the management of business to men who have not demonstrated ability to conduct affairs effectively. There are still some who believe in more government interference with business and less business practice in government." "But the number of those who support such policies has become relatively small. The country as a whole rejoices to see at Washington an administration that sets an example in efficiency and economy. The great The Union Oil company started another well on the Copeland lease today. Copeland No. 6 is the new well and is building rig. Copeland No. 1. The Union's only producer, continues to produce consistently at 190 barrels. INTEREST DUE FROM EUROPE As the debate progresses on the tax bill, members of congress and the people generally are taking renewed interest in the status of the foreign debt to this country of more than $11,000,000,000. Senators and representatives are receiving hundreds of letters from their constituents inquiring why it is that the American people are called upon to pay hundreds of millions of dollars in taxes, while there are delinquent annual interest payments from Europe of over $500,000,000. The conviction is growing that, while it may be the part of wisdom to postpone for a time the collection of the principal of the foreign debt, insistence should be made upon the regular payment of the interest thereon. The sentiment among the Republican leaders of Congress is in sympathy with the popular demand, and it is quite probable that the pending tax bill will have a paragraph incorporated in it which will expedite arrangements for interest payment and provisions for liquidation of the principal. THE STRIKE THREAT A report that the railroad men of the country are strongly in favor of a strike against the twelve per cent reduction in wages ordered by the labor board, is by no means as serious as it might be, notwithstanding the fact that in all the union organizations there are hot-headed individuals who find enjoyment in labor disturbances. The American people know that, considering the circumstances, a cut of twelve per cent is very small, the wages of many of the men having been advanced from one to two hundred per cent during the past few years. Furthermore unemployment is so widespread that the chances of winning a strike are so remote as to be hardly worth considering. The amsolute failure of the strikes of the marine workers and the steel men foreshadows a like flasco in the railroad field if the men should be so foolish as actually to quit work. The probability is that neither the leaders nor the rank and file of the after a single tool of the horn, giving the pedestrian no chance; the man who falls to stop back of the building line when halted by a crossing cop; the man who passes to the left of a trotley car whether the street is empty or crowded; the man who refuses to stay in the traffic line and persists in edging ahead of the man in front of him; the man who uses the left side of the street or roadway to get ahead of the line; the man who, intending to turn a corner, rushes up alongside the car on the right, thrusts out his hand, swings across the front of the other and compels the latter driver to make his car stand on its nose to prevent a collision; and the worst nuisance of all, the man whose passengers stick their hands out in all directions, leaving you to guess whether he intends going to the right or left or up in the air. There is no law to reach some of these offenses; others are made amenable. Every careful motorist is interested in the observance of the ordinary rules of the road. The majority are careful. For the sake of the general safety there ought to be come way to make all toe the mark. GOVERNMENT MONEY FOR BEAN GROWERS Congressman Phil D. Swing, the California Lima Bean Growers' association may borrow money from the war finance corporation. Swing, who, growers in touch with the activities of the congressman say, is always on the job in their interests at Washington, wired to W. C. Jerome, of Santa Ana, asking him if the walnut growers' association or bean growers' association is interested in securing a federal loan for harvest or market ing its crops. Jerome immediately got in touch with R. L. Churchill, manager of the California Lima Bean growers' association, at Oxnard. Jerome is a director of that association. Churchill said that the association could finance its business for the season in the usual way, through its bank. However, it would gladly secure a federal loan if by so doing it could make a saving in interest. Jerome got into communication with Harry W.

This well is in the ed from one to two hundred per cent during the past few years. Furthermore unemployment is so widespread that the chances of winning a strike are so remote as to be hardly worth considering. The absolute failure of the strikes of the marine workers and the steel men foreshadows a like flasco in the railroad field if the men should be so foolish as actually to quit work. The probability is that neither the leaders nor the rank and file of the men have any desire to strike on such an issue as a twelve per cent reduction in wages. The statement that the strike talk is intended to scare the labor board into sanctioning the continuance of the government working rules doubtless has a substantial basis. The testimony presented to the board shows that the rules were devised for the purpose of increasing the cost of labor; two or three men under the rules are required to do the work of one man, and in addition there are heavy charges for overtime. The evidence as to rules indicates that the loafing provided by them and the employment of unnecessary men cut into earnings more heavily than the inflated wages carried on from the war period. There is no doubt that the rules ought to be abolished or greatly modified, for under present conditions the public is being assessed in high freight and passenger rates for the purpose of maintaining abnormal payrolls and easy jobs. The day of normal prices is being postponed by the opposition of workers to a reasonable programme of deflation.

However, it would gladly secure a federal loan if by so doing it could make a saving in interest. Jerome got into communication with Harry W. Lewis, a director of the California Walnut Growers' association, the central association to which the co-operative associations of this county belong. Lewis reported that the walnut association was amply financed for the season. Its arrangements have already been completed. Jerome then wired Swing that the bean association was interested in the proposal if it could save money on interest, and that it could give warehouse receipts as security. Swing was asked by Jerome to wire further information directly to the California Lima Bean association headquarters at Oxnard. AUTO INTOXICATION "You discharged your new salesman?" "Yes. He's not suited for the automobile business." "Hows that?" "He tried to sell a $7000 car to a school teacher."—Birmingham Age-Herald. Just because all education is not found in the schools some "self-made" men get the idea that none of it is there. It is well to be a slave driver if the slave you drive is yourself.
