At the conclusion of his address the club adjourned. Dr. Winston has received a sack of coffee from Costa Rica, which he will distribute to farmers for experimental planting. We notice that the wild grape vines in the Santiago canyon were not at all injured by the frost which seems to confirm Mr. Olden's theory that vines trained to a height of five or six feet are not affected by frost. The firm of Gaddy, Wiley & Co. has been dissolved, and M. R. Gaddy is now the sole owner of the Planters' stable. Messrs. Wiley and Canavon intend devoting all their time to the care of their sheep. On Monday last we visited Richland where we were hospitably received by Capt. Glassell, the agent for the sale of the Richland tract. The appearance of the crops betoken an abundant supply of water, the A.B Chapman canal furnishing more than enough to irrigate the whole tract. The soil is adapted to the growth of semi-tropical fruits and has been extensively planted to vineyards and orchards, there being reported to be 320,000 vines and 25,000 trees. Mr. Garey, of Los Angeles alone has sold the settlers some $19,000 worth of trees. A town site has been laid out, a number of lots sold and several houses are in process of erection. A blacksmith ship is in full running order and a grocery store is being opened by B.F.Smith. The school house is large and has an average attendance of 52 scholars. Pepper trees have been planted along the streets, which are 80 feet wide. One of our party became so enthusiastic over the brilliant future in store for Richland that he invested in a city lot (B-G- and thus became a bloated landholder in this embryo metropolis).

FOREST HISTORY In a story given F.Mixon, secretary commission, that after several agreement on highway fund existed between vision and one side and other, an reached for the best highway from California for a succeeding year. This agreement conference held centently attended sistant state hir I.Hewes, deputy federal bureau Paul G.Reding and was formal DAIRY LICENSE FEE IS MISUNDERSTOOD Assistant Farm Advisor Cory Explains Its Purpose "There seems to be some misunderstanding among the dairymen of the county in regard to the license fee established by county ordinance No. 105, forming a milk inspection department under the supervision of the county health department," said W. M. Cory, assistant farm advisor. "This fee is simply and solely a license fee, and not a tax on cows, but the fee is of the same nature as that the merchant and business man pays for a license to carry on his business. The fee is not to pay the salary of the dairy inspector, and is not used for dairy inspection. The money does not go into the budget of the county health department." "The total sum from the license fees will not exceed six or seven hundred dollars, and would be inadequate to pay even the laboratory expense for the tests on the milk." "That there was a need for dairy inspection in the county was demonstrated by a survey made by the state board of health, and the many requests from citizens to the health officer for a guarantee of pure milk. "When the dairy inspection was established in conjunction with the work of the county nurse, there was nowhere available a list of dairies of the county, and for that reason an ordinance requiring the registration of dairies was necessary. It was also necessary to have a county ordinance for the enforcement of the state dairy law and also in order to have the department approved by the state and to establish a grading system. "Dr. McDonald, state market milk specialist, when assisting in the drafting of the Orange county ordinance, made the statement that the dairymen of Ventura county voluntarily assessed themselves a fee of twenty-five cents a cow per month for establishing a milk inspection department. In comparison, the present license fee seems very moderate, indeed. "It is necessary that the license fee be required from all dairies in the county, as there is a constant changing of the disposal of the milk from retail or wholesale trade out of the county, to the sale in the county, and the reverse. "That the inspection benefits the dairymen very greatly is evinced by..." ANAHEIM GAZETTE the increased consumption of milk as the confidence of the public in the purity of the milk supply grows with the assurance that the dairies are under the supervision of the health department." AMERICA'S FUTURE IS ON THIS SIDE THE ATLANTIC The great field for the expansion of American investment, enterprise, trade and good will is on this side of the Atlantic, in Central and South America and the orient. This was true before the world war—it is more than true today. One-tenth the attention devoted by our financiers, our traders and even our international authorities to the European situation, it directed toward the new lands of our own hemisphere and the trade opportunities on the western rim of the Pacific, would produce far greater and more beneficial results to the American people and to scores of millions of foreign people. Central and South America need American capital, American enterprise and American co-operation. The Latin American republics are the natural markets for the things we produce; they produce things we need and cannot produce. They have vast resources it is within the power of American enterprise to develop, to the mutual profit of the United States and our neighbors to the south. The American people through the development of our continental domain, have cultivated a genius for pioneering, for exploring and for constructing which, applied to the limitless natural resources of this hemisphere, would effect a transformation in the economic life of the Americans no less miraculous than that which has followed in the train of American achievement within the territory of the United States. EATING TROPICAL FOODS Cocoa imports in 1922, says the Trade Record of the National City Bank of New York (totaled 350,000,000 pounds against 156,000,000 in 1913, having thus more than doubled in quantity in the period in question. Coffee imported in 1922 aggregated 1,250,000 pounds against 852,000,000 in 1913, having thus increased 50 per cent, while cocoa was increasing more than 100 per cent. Tea imports of 1922 totaled approximately 100,000,000 pounds against 89,000,000 in 1913, while the value of the tea imports in 1922 were 50 per cent higher than those in 1913, the total for 1922 standing at $24,000,000 against $16,000,000 in 1913. The fruits and nuts which we import are chiefly tropical or sub-tropical and totaled in 1922 $75,000,000 against $49,000,000 in 1913. Vegetable oils, largely tropical and subtropical, totaled nearly $60,000,000 in 1922 as against $27,000,000 in 1913. Sugar imports from foreign countries aggregated nearly 10,000,000 pounds in 1922 against slightly less than 5,000,000 in 1913, while the quantity brought from our own islands of Hawaii and Porto Rico aggregated practically 100,000,000 pounds in 1922 as against 58,000,000 in 1913. Curiously, says the Trade Record, discussing this big growth in our use of tropical foodstuffs, a very large proportion of the articles showing this big growth are the product of our neighbors at the immediate south, Mexico, Central and South America, and the Caribbean islands ,especially Cuba. Practically all of the cane sugar entering the country comes from Cuba. Porto Rico, Haiti and San Domingo, plus that from our islands in the Pacific, though the grand total of 10,000,000,000 pounds above credited to merchandise coming from those islands, which are territories of the United States, is not included in the general import figures. The fact, however, that the governmental figures now put the total consumption of sugar in the United States at over 100 pounds per capita as against 85 pounds in 1900, indicates a very large growth in the total quantity entering the United States whether from foreign countries or our own islands. Of fruits, a very large proportion of the imports originate in the Latin Americas; four-fifths of the coffee imported is of South American origin, the only important groups of tropical foodstuffs originating outside of America being tea and spices. The growing consumption by the people of the United States of food products of our Latin American friends at the south is doubtless one of the principal reasons for the fact that our exports to Latin America totaled $525,000,000 in 1922 against $320,-ooo,ooo in 1913. SOUR GRAPES Lloyd George declares that British prestige fades under Bonar Law. The little Welshman still believes the Britishers should "let George do it." The truth is that the colors in British prestige were running when she decided to put George on the retired list. Law may not possess the brilliance and evasiveness and political finesse of George, but in point of reliability, sincerity, and practical common sense he has it all over the former prime minister. IT SURE TREATED BILL ROUGH Bryan indorses the proposal to abolish the electoral college. Consid- profit of the United States and our neighbors to the south. The American people through the development of our continental domain, have cultivated a genius for pioneering, for exploring and for constructing which, applied to the limitless natural resources of this hemisphere, would effect a transformation in the economic life of the American no less miraculous than that which has followed in the train of American achievement within the territory of the United tates. The cultivation of better understanding between the United States and the Latin American nations is a necessary accompaniment of this program. The distrust of American motives which has been sedulously cultivated in the lands to the south of us by agents of European propaganda and agitators of exaggerated nationalism must be overcome by ya straightforward policy of neighborliness and good will. The United States needs and wants no more territory. We have all we can assimilate. We have no cultural life we desire to force upon other peoples, since ours is a cosmopolitan republic, uniting all European racial strains. In no spirit of condescension, with no affectation of superiority, the United States seeks partnership with the Latin American republic, having no purpose that is not in harmony with the best interests of these sister nations. Our legitimate interest in orderly government and in safety of life and property in these republics is not greater—is by no means so great—as that of the people of these nations themselves. FOREST HIGHWAY PROGRAM In a story given to the press by W. F. Mixon, secretary of the highway commission, the statement is made that after several years of lack of agreement on the disposition of forest highway fund in California, which has existed between the highway commission and the bureau of public roads on one side and the forest service on the other, an agreement has been reached for the allocation of the forest highway funds in the state of California for a period of at least five succeeding years. This agreement was reached at a conference held in San Francisco recently attended by A. E. Stanton, assistant state highway engineer; Dr. L. I. Hewes, deputy chief engineer of the federal bureau of good roads, and Paul G. Redington, district forester, and was formally ratified at the meet- VALENCIA ORANGE SHOW "CITRUS GEMS IN EGYPTIAN SETTINGS" Best musical and vaudeville program available has been secured.
