IRRIGATION POINTERS By Harold Wahlberg, Orange County Farm Advisor Probably at no time in recent years have the farmers of this district been more concerned about the irrigation problem in connection with their orchards than at the present time, following the drought of the winter just passed. It behooves every grower to give special attention to the moisture needs of the trees at this time, and this can be best determined by the use of the soil auger, as the requirements will vary with different types of soil. There are still a number of growers who are adhering to the old time practice of irrigating on a definite schedule, or are putting the water on because the neighbor is doing it somewhere down the road. This has resulted, in many cases, in the deterioration of the trees, particularly the cifrus trees, where irrigation water has been applied when the ground was already well supplied with moisture. Because of the dry season there has been a tendency on the part of some growers to use an excessive amount of water in an endeavor to fill up the bowels of the earth and in order to relieve the drought situation. Often times this has reacted detrimentally to the grower in two ways; first in the cost of extra water he has been putting on, and second, in creating a saturated condition of the soil unfavorable to root development. Precaution should be taken wherever possible to actually examine the soil moisture to the depth of normal root penetration, and only apply water when the ground actually needs it. It may be advisable for the grower assumed. I am not proposing any change in policy; neither is the Senate. The incident, so far as we are concerned, is closed. The League exists as a foreign agency. We hope it will be helpful. But the United States sees no reason to limit its own freedom and independence of action by joining it. We shall do well to recognize this basic fact in all national affairs and govern ourselves accordingly." Surely the League of Nations Herald can understand the language used by President Coolidge last December. It was an authoritative statement as to the position of the Republican party at that time. Nothing The National Republican or the Republican national committee has done could interpret the situation more clearly. The League of Nations Herald charged everyone who does not agree with it being "liars," and that every argument against America's entrance into the league is a "file." Surely Senators Lodge, Borah, Brandegee and the late Senator Knox, as well as President Coolidge, cannot all be "liars," even in the opinion of the League of Nations Herald. The league of nations issue (if it is to be an issue again) is not one between the two great parties, but one between Americanism and foreign influence. As between these two forces The National Republican prefers Americanism. A DEPARTMENT OF INQUISITION: WHY NOT? A careful study of the federal Constitution reveals no authority in Congress to set up courts of inquisition except in cases where the rights or reputations of members of Congress are directly involved. Clients they serve they make, and to this end, as should know this a vate life or in other government.

No innocent amusemen relieve the drought situation. Often times this has reacted detrimentally to the grower in two ways; first in the cost of extra water he has been putting on, and second, in creating a saturated condition of the soil unfavorable to root development. Precaution should be taken wherever possible to actually examine the soil moisture to the depth of normal root penetration, and only apply water when the ground actually needs it. It may be advisable for the grower to have a sample of his soil actually brought to the optimum moisture point and also to the wilting point through the laboratory in order that he may familiarize himself with these two conditions of his own soil and thus be guided in his irrigation practice. As an actual fact, an analysis of the survey made recently by the Experiment station, cooperating with the Agricultural Extension service, in this county, shows that the grower under coastal conditions who uses less than the average amount of water, got the highest production per acre. In other words, in the survey, which embraced about 200 groves in the county, the highest production for both oranges and lemons was found in those orchards which averaged from 14 to 18 acre inches of water per year. The usual or average amount used in this section was 18 to 22 acre inches per year. There is considerable food for thought in this finding, and is particularly applicable to soils of the loam and heavier types. MORE LEAGUE OF NATIONS PROPAGANDA The League of Nations Non-Partisan association, located in New York City, is publishing a "League of Nations Herald," and undertaking to force members of the Republican party into indorsment of the covenant of the league. This organization call itself "nonpartisan," yet it aims its guns at those Republicans who are opposed to America's entrance into the league. An informative article written by one of the regular contributors of The National Republican, and entitled "Some Reasons Why the United State Should Not Enter the League of Nations," has been laid at the door of the Republican national committee. The Republican national committee did not send out this article, hence the League of Nations Herald is shooting at the wrong target. A DEPARTMENT OF INQUISITION: WHY NOT? A careful study of the federal Constitution reveals no authority in Congress to set up courts of inquisition except in cases where the rights or reputations of members of Congress are directly involved. The Supreme Court has decided that no such authority exists. With the beginning of every national campaign, however, we have a flood of such inquisitions, conducted at great cost to taxpayers and with incidental loss of time and thought from the duties Congress is elected to perform. These courts of inquisition inevitably degenerate into agencies for the manufacture of campaign material, with whatever good purpose they may originally enter upon their work. The purpose is not to ferret out crime—a function devolving upon the judicial branch of government. The attempt is by dragging in witnesses, to find something that can be turned to political advantage. In these courts witnesses are deprived of rights other than those given by suffurance. The suggestion that counsel should be allowed to persons hailed into such inquisitions was indignantly rejected in the Senate the other day. Such counsel may be granted by the court of inquisition but only as a matter of favor. Witnesses are not protected by rules of evidence, and testimony irrelevant to the object of inquiry may be introduced. The court is prosecutor, judge and jury. Of course, anyone possessing the rudiments of knowledge of the principles underlying our system of jurisprudence, placed there for the purpose of protecting individual rights as the result of centuries of struggle against tyranny, understands that such procedure is violative of both the spirit and the letter of our Constitution and form of government. These courts of inquisition may suggest in their methods the Russian Cheka, but they are as far from similarity to anything fundamentally American as they well could be. Of course, if congressional courts of inquisition were necessary to ferret out and punish crime, their place in our form of government would be recognized. But we have codes of law in this country, and peace officers and tribunals of justice to enforce them. We have grand juries, which anyone can unite this system would local as well as run. It would contribute of long noses and newspapers would type for headlines; edly help along printing anything inquisition and they might overlook. No innocent amusements would heighten the tone of every comedy. Only one thing—the success of the few weeks the petterests affected brought home to and rend the scandal mongers.

The getting a little cool until now, with An informative article written by one of the regular contributors of The National Republican, and entitled "Some Reasons Why the United State Should Not Enter the League of Nations," has been laid at the door of the Republican national committee. The Republican national committee did not send out this article, hence the League of Nations Herald is shooting at the wrong target. The League of Nations Herald (No. 10, February 1, 1924) prints three bracketed articles urging Republican pro-leagues to get out their guns, to rebuke the national committee or "influence the acts of the committee." The tone of all these articles, and of the League of Nations Herald, is that the pro-league Republicans are waiting for the party to "get in line and fulfill its promises; that the Republican committee is fighting its leaders, former President Harding and President Coolidge. Neither the Republican party nor the Republican national committee has taken any position on the league of nations since the last national convention and the national campaign on the platform issued, unless the statement of President Harding in his inaugural address March 4, 1921, and President Coolidge's address to Congress December 6, 1923, may be considered party declarations. In his inaugural address, President Harding said that he was opposed to the entrance of the United States into the league of nations, with or without reservations. President Coolidge said December 6, 1923: "Our country has definitely refused to adopt and ratify the covenant of the league of nations. We have not felt warranted in assuming the responsibilities which its members have These courts of inquisition may suggest in their methods the Russian Cheka, but they are as far from similarity to anything fundamentally American as they well could be. Of course, if congressional courts of inquisition were necessary to ferret out and punish crime, their place in our form of government would be recognized. But we have codes of law in this country, and peace officers and tribunals of justice to enforce them. We have grand juries, which the framers of our government wisely surrounded with secrecy, that reputations, more valuable than life and property, might not be harmed by publicity antecedent to revelation of guilt. In our courts the accused, however poor and humble, is entitled to the advice of counsel, to know what charges have been preferred against him, to confront the witnesses against him, and to question them, to summon witnesses in his own behalf, and he is protected against the introduction of irrelevant prejudicial matter. These are very necessary safeguards of liberty and justice, and are the most essential part of any system of free government. If partisan exigencies and the growth of support for the Russian system of justice demand the establishment of inquisitorial courts, this new idea in American jurisprudence should be given the dignity of a separate and independent department of government. We have the legislative, the executive and the judicial departments. To this should be added the Department of Inquisition. It is only fair that Congress itself should come within the jurisdiction of such independent courts, not controlled by Congress, for it is as important for the people to know what connections members of congress have, what letters they write what telegrams they send, what scheduled in Berkshire March 22.

All prices far below colients they serve, what investments they make, and to initiate inquiries to this end, as that congressmen should know this about people in private life or in other departments of government. The head court of inquisition in Washington, with power to summon anyone concerning whom curiosity has been aroused, of about whom an anonymous letter has been received, and to ask for his books and papers, should have branches in every state and in every county seat. There is a rich field for investigation in every community. Such a court of inquisition could within a very few days develop a flood of scandal that would submerge every other interest in life. How Smith got his automobile, or how Jones' wife is able to dress so well on so small an income, who owes the butcher, the baker and the banker, what is on the postal cards in the post office and on the dispatches in the telegraph office,—how exciting and improving this would all be. To carry the scheme into its full Washington effectiveness, there should be, in addition, a space roped off in the court house yard in which anybody can say anything about anyone else without being held to account. Here gossip, rumor and scandal could be given tongue on the ground that revelation of evil always leads to ultimate good. Anyone can understand just how this system would be helpful in a local as well as national application. It would contribute to the cultivation of long noses and limber tongues. The newspapers would have to buy bigger type for headlines, and could undoubtedly help along the excitement by printing anything that the courts of inquisition and the free scandal mill might overlook. This would make innocent amusement and undoubtedly first in the 220, although there is nothing certain about china. California should get ten points in the two sprints to eight for U. S. C. Clarke looks like the best 440 man, and Alden Hughes may get a second over Bob Hurst, former Long Beach boy. Six points is a safe margin to give the Trojans in this event and Percy Niersbach really ought to lead two Bear runners to the tape in the 880. Mike Ellwood, who ran 4:37 last Saturday, may give the Trojans three points in the mile. Running in his present form, Otto Anderson cannot defeat Becker of California in the high hurdles, although Anderson and Leighton Dye ought to divide second and third places between them. The Bears, at this writing, have no low hurdler who can defeat either Anderson or Kenneth Grumbles so the Trojans ought to clean up at least eight and possibly nine points in this event. Paul Boren, the great California broad jumper, looks good for a victory in this event but he will be hard pushed by both Earl Wilson and Otto Anderson of the Trojans, who ought to annex four points at least. Ross, U. S. C. high jumper, as good for 6 feet which is probably better than anyone at California is doing right now and Bayard Ryder should add a point to the Trojans' score. None of the California pole vaulters are getting up very high at present and both Howard and Wright of U. S. C. appear to have the edge, with Sherrod looming up strong at 11 feet 6 inches. Unless Christie develops a man pronto, Cromwell ought to garner eight points in this event, but Chirstie has a habit of developing pole vaulters. The Trojans look good for the relay and that leaves the meet to be decided in the weight events. Bud Houser Anyone can understand just how this system would be helpful in a local as well as national application. It would contribute to the cultivation of long noses and limber tongues. The newspapers would have to buy bigger type for headlines, and could undoubtedly help along the excitement by printing anything that the courts of inquisition and the free scandal mill might overlook. This would make innocent amusement and undoubtedly would heighten the moral and mental tone of every community. Only one thing could interfere with the success of this plan. Within a few weeks the people, their own interests affected and the situation brought home to them, would rise up and rend the inquisitors and the scandal mongers limb from limb. It is estimated by the National Association of Manufacturers that the strikes and lockouts of 1923 cost the public $703,839,000 and took 20,551,000 working days from the wage earners. Employees lost $97,823,000; employers lost $26,901,000. From 1916 to 1923 the total loss from strikes and lockouts was $12,522,203,000. Workers lost $1,740,403,000, employees lost $478,610,000 and the public lost $10,303,188,000. If the time ever comes when strikes and lockouts and all disputes between employers and employed are ended, the nation will be a tremendous gainer economically and financially; human life will be prolonged and human happiness promoted. U. S. C. CAL. TRACK MEET Is the ambition of a generation about to be realized? Will the University of Southern California defeat the Golden Bears of Berkeley in track-this year? With but one more dual meet separating these two rivals in Pacific Coast athletics critics already are looking forward to the clash which is scheduled in Berkeley for Saturday, March 22. Coach Dean Cromwell is expecting a tough battle with Pomona this Saturday, but he expects to win and he is looking for a tougher one a week later when he leads his Cardinal and Gold team against Walter Christie's talent. For years U. S. C. has been trying to defeat California in football and on the track. The Trojans have been getting a little closer year by year, until now, with the California score. None of the California pole vaulters are getting up very high at present and both Howard and Wright of U. S. C. appear to have the edge, with Sherrod looming up strong at 11 feet 6 inches. Unless Christie develops a man pronto, Cromwell ought to garner eight points in this event, but Christie has a habit of developing pole vaulters. The Trojans look good for the relay and that leaves the meet to be decided in the weight events. Bud Houser is being banked upon to win both the shot put and the discus and in both events Norman Anderson and Fay Thomas must be considered. Norman had the edge on both Neufeldt and Witter last year, but even should these men shove him back to third the Trojans should win the meet, 70 to 61, according to this very hasty survey, which is not intended to be taken either as a dope sheet nor an attempt to predict anything, but rather as a list of cold figures to prove that the Trojans at last have a chance to defeat California on the track and field.
