ORANGE COUNTY'S CHILI CROP With the assurance of a better market for their products last year, the growers of California and Mexican chilies in the Garden Grove district of Orange county began their drying season in good spirits. The year before half the district's crop burned in the warehouse, and this, coupled with the poor prices received, brought little return for the year's work. The burning of the warehouse precluded any chance of the 'hold-overs' flooding the market last year, and the demand for the dried product is reported to be increasing. Formerly, all chilis were sun dried, but this provde to be too slow and expensive, so dry houses were substituted. There is a difference in opinion as to the comparative quality of sun drys and those artificially dried. In general, it is held that those dried artificially, when handled right, compare favorably with the sun drys, though many jobbers prefer the latter. The dry houses are built so that they can be closed tightly, except for ventilators on the roof, which can be regulated. Gas, which is used to generate the heat, is conducted through eight rows of pipe, laid along the floor, with jets inserted every two or three feet. The trays, on which the chilis are placed, are 2 by 1.2 feet in size, with a screen bottom, each house holding about 600 sets in tiers. The drying process takes about a week. The first two days, the houses are kept at a temperature of 120 degrees, with the ventilators wide open; then the temperature is gradually increased to 40 degrees, and the ventilators closed down. These ventilators carry off the moisture from the drying out of the chilis. Precautions are taken so that the temperature never goes above 140 degrees, as such a fault will cause the chilis to lose their flavor and color. Before this process was perfected many peppers were ruined. ing hours to paint, powder and cosmetics, will have to adopt other habits or seek other employment, according to a statement issued by Will H. Marsh, who has assumed the duties of chief of the division, following his appointment by Governor Friend W. Richardson as a successor to Charles J. Chenu. Declaring that in the election of Richardson, the people subscribed to a policy of retrenchment, Marsh announced that the motor vehicle department could and would be more economically administered, and with an increase in the efficiency of the service given by the office. Marsh was cashier of the department for eight years and disclosed that during the first year of his incumbency 163,000 pairs of plates were issued and $1,600,000 was collected. Last year approximately 800,000 pairs of plates were sold and over $8,000,000 was collected. Incidentally, Marsh announced that counter issuance of plates and licenses at the main and branch offices will not begin until February 1, although it is planned to begin mail issues January 15. "I have watched the ever mounting expenditures of the department, and had I not firmly believed I could as sist Richardson in reducing the cost of operation, I would not have accepted the appointment," Marsh declared in statement. "Plans for a more efficient, more economical service are well formulated as a result of my past experience in the service and I shall have no hesitancy in putting them in action as rapidly as a consistent policy demands. Necessary changes, eliminations and co-ordinations will be made in consonance and a manner not to interfere with the even flow of the work." "No employee of the department now rendering efficient service, consistent with an economical program, need fear molestation. An orderly conduct of The drying process is more or less a mechanical system, it could be called "dehydration." It seems that some of the new dehydrators perfected by the government could be put to use in the service and I shall have no hesitancy in putting them in action as rapidly as a consistent policy demands. Necessary changes, eliminations and co-ordinations will be made in consonance and a manner not to interfere with the even flow of the work. "No employee of the department now rendering efficient service, consistent with an economical program, need fear molestation. An orderly conduct of the state's business in this department will be henceforth demanded. Every employee will be expected to apply himself or herself to the business of the institution seven hours a day. Those who have formed the habit of applying a portion of the period of seven hours to paint, powder and cosmetics had better adopt other habits, or seek new employment. "A more liberal policy in the matter of tourists' registrations will be pursued in the future. It has been the policy of the department, in the past to subject every tourist and his car, upon entrance to the state, to the closest scrutiny. "Engine inspection for tourist registration only will be eliminated. Requirement of engine inspection will be demanded only in case transfer of tourist license to a California license is desired. California is inviting the motoring world to make of it a mecca, and its share in making the state all that we claim—a motorist's paradise. No motoring guest in the future will be subjected to summary, snap judgment, or unnecessary delay. "The 1923 renewal period is upon us, and will have first consideration. Plans for the handling of the campaign have been quite generally completed by my predecessor. However, it has been deemed advisable to delay the opening of the counters for the issuance of the new plates until February 1. On that date applications for licenses will be received and plate is sued from the windows of all of the department branches which are located at San Francisco, Oakland, Los Angeles, San Diego and Fresno, as well as from the main office in Sacramento." CHANGES MADE IN THE INCOME TAX LAWS Collector Goodcell Tells How to Make Your Returns Collector of Internal Revenue Rex The growers pay from $30 to $50 per acre rental for the land, and during the drying season, the labor expense is very high. Mexicans do most of the sorting and grading, and are fairly reliable. They receive $2.50 a day in wages. As the drying process is more or less a mechanical system, it could be called "dehydration." It seems that some of te new dehydrators perfected by the government could be put to good use in cutting down the erpine of drying. It takes a long time system of drying. It takes a long time to get the crop through the dry houses, the season beginning in October and ending the first of the next year, so if the time now given to drying could be cut down, the crop could be moved sooner. As it is, the growers pick one week, and attend to their drying the next. The dry chill industry is another southern California industry that could be improved by the opening up of another growing district. Very soon, the land on which they are now grown will be used for other purposes. Southern California, in the past, has been depended upon for this product, and should not pass up any chances to hold on to her present trade. There are many acres of potential pepper land in this vicinity that could be developed, and should be, before the Orange county acreage is necessarily cut down. NEW PLAN FOR AUTO REGISTRATION Employes of the motor vehicle department who have been accustomed to applying a portion of their work- 1922 was $2000 or more or whose gross income was $5000 or more, and upon ever psingle person whose income was $1000 or more, or whose gross income was $5000 or more. The fact that by reason of the exemptions and credits a persons' income is not taxable, does not nullify the requirement to file a return if the income equals or exceeds these specified amounts. A head of a family—a person who actually supports and maintains in one household one or more individuals who are closely connected with him by blood relationship, relationship by marriage or by adoption," is allowed the same exemptions as a married person. In the returns of married persons must be included the net income of both husband and wife and dependent children. Husband and wife may make a joint return or separate returns. They receive but one personal exemption, $2500 or $2000 as the case may be. If they make separate returns the exemption may be taken by either or divided between them. The exemption of $400 for a dependent may be claimed only by the one who furnishes the dependent's chief support. The taxpayer's status on the last day of the taxable year—December 31, 1922, if made on the calendar year basis—determines the amount of his exemptions and credits. If married and living with his wife or husband on that day the exemption is $2500 or $2,000, according to the amount of net income. If single and without dependents on that day he may claim but $1,000 as his exemption, even though he may have been married or the head of a family during the greater part of the year. Widowers, widows, divorcees and persons separated by mutual consent are classed as single persons. FULLERTON BOY KILLED One man lost his life, an danother in the Buena Park boulevard. It was said, when he attempted to catch hold of the truck. Missing his hold, he fell beneath the wheels. He was rushed to the Fullerton emergency hospital, but life was extinct before his arrival. The truck driver evidently unaware of the accident, continued on his way. The number of the truck was secured. It was said, but no effort was made to arrest the driver, pending the verdict of a coroner's jury. In connection with the boy's tragic death, the story of his fight for life and health during the past two years became known. Two years ago he was injured in an automobile accident, which, at that time, nearly cost him his life. He suffered a fractured skull and terrible internal injuries. For several weeks he lingered in the hospital, between life and death, and finally was released, with the prospects of semi-invalidism facing him. Determined to overcome all handicaps, he fought his way back to health, until at the time of his death, he was in good health, and was regarded as a promising high school athlete. W. L. Shepperd, of 512 Fairlawn street, Santa Ana, was at his home, having been released from the community hospital, where he was taken for treatment, following an accident below Tustin on the state highway Sunday. Shepperd stepped out from behind a machine, and was struck by an automobile driven by W. L. Griffin, of Los Angeles, according to a report made at the sheriff's office by Griffin. Minor injuries were treated at the hospital. HOW TO CONTROL RED SPIDER Careful watch should be kept over citrus orchards at this time to make sure that the red spider is kept under control. Some orchards are being seized. FULLERTON BOY KILLED One man lost his life, an danother was in a critical condition at the hospital as a result of automobile mishaps in Orange county during the past few days. His skull fractured when an automobile in which he was riding, turned turtle on the state highway below San Juan Capistrano Saturday night, O. M. Scott, of Lint Beach, hovered between life and death at the community hospital today. Coroner C. D. Brown held a ninquest at 3 p.m. Monday into the death Sunday at Buena Park, of Roland Purdy, 18-year-old Fullerton high school athlete, who was killed when he fell beneath the wheels of a truck. Scott was riding in a car driven by Gay Riggs, of Long Beach, southbound along the ocean near Serra, when in some manner the car overturned. Riggs was unable to recall the circumstances of the accident, he told deputy sheriffs in a report, but he thought that the wheels became entangled in dirt thrown up in the road work there. Scott was pinned beneath the body of the overturned car, and was extricated only when passing motorists rendered assistance. He was taken to the community hospital at Santa Ana, where it was discovered that he was suffering from a severe fracture of the skull, in addition to numerous other injuries. His condition was rebarded as extremely critical, the attending physician said. The machine was wrecked, and was towed to a garage in the mission town. An effort to "hitch" onto a truck, for a ride on his bicycle, cost Roland Purdy his life, according to reports received by Coroner Brown. Purdy was riding his bicycle along a machine, and was struck by an automobile driven by W. L. Griffin, of Los Angeles, according to a report made at the sheriff's office by Griffin. Minor injuries were treated at the hospital. HOW TO CONTROL RED SPIDER Careful watch should be kept over citrus orchards at this time to make sure that the red spider is kept under control. Some orchards are being severely attacked by this pest at the present time. Where the entire grove is infested and where the trees show ill effects of the little rachnidae,the grower should resort to artificial measures for its control, if he is una- able to find his friends helping him in the fight. There are several small predators that feed upon this mite. A minute lacewing and two small beetles are responsible for most of the good work done in the way of destroying this pest. The lacewing is known as the conventzia hagenia and the beetles are named the oligota oviformis and stethoruspicipes. The common green lacewing is a very effective natural enemy of the red spider. The best artificial control measure to employ for the control of this pest is the commercial lime and sulphur used at the rate of two per cent, where the infestation is bad enough to warrant treatment in the grove. Should there be any doubt in your mind as to what steps should be taken in handling your grove, this office is always willing and ready to send an inspector to carefully investigate conditions in your orchard.
