MEASURES TO PREVENT SPREAD OF DISEASE Farm Bureau Makes Public Set of Rules. M. Cory, assistant county farm advisor, made public the following rules which are applicable in the prevention of the hoof and mouth epidemic. These rules are authorized by the agricultural extension service, he said. They follow: "Keep out all visitors, peddlers, etc. from the fields and livestock barns. Large signs that can be easily read should be posted at farm entrances and near the barns. "Employees should be prohibited from visiting other live-stock ranches or to handle outside animals. "No uncooked garbage should be fed to hogs on the premises. "No hay, grain or other feed from outside the county should be brought onto the ranch. "Insist that your cremery sterilize all milk cans, both inside and outside, and pasteurize all skim milk that is sent back to the farm. "Stray dogs and cats should be kept away from the fields and barns. "Owner's dogs should be kept tied up or not allowed to stray off the premises. "No animals from outside should be allowed on the farm. "Birds of prey, such as buzzards, etc., should be killed. "Herdsmen and others in charge of animals should be unusually alert to observe and report any indications of illness, particularly such symptoms as lameness, salivation or sudden drop of milk flow in milking animals. "Milk should be delivered to the roadside in order to keep truck from entering premises." "If due precautions are taken," Cory added, "there will be but little danger for the encouragement of gold and silver mining, for the development of a merchant marine, for the improvement of the diplomatic and consular service, etc. In the administrative departments there has been active work along lines no less important. In a quiet way Secretary of Commerce Hoover has secured the cooperation of business organizations in the standardization of products which will reduce costs of production and save the nation untold millions in years to come. The Department of the Interior has expedited the issuance of patents to settlers on homestead lands and has tried to work out a plan for the relief of settlers on irrigated lands where the cost of reclamation has been greater than the settlers expected. The same department prepared the National Parks for better and more extended use by the public. The Department of Justice has been quietly but vigorously prosecuting hundreds of war fraud cases. All Departments have been cooperating with the Budget Bureau in eliminating duplication and reducing expenses. These are but a few of the innumerable Governmental activities that far outweigh in ultimate importance any scandal investigation that has been or may be conducted.

All sources of contamination in Los Angeles county are being rapidly checked up by the department of agriculture, so that with every livestockman's support and cooperation, the infection need never enter Orange county.

REP. RECONSTRUCTION WORK Newspaper readers outside the National Capital might easily get the notion that there is nothing going on at Washington except the investigation of scandals or alleged scandals. That is far from the truth. As a matter of fact, along with one investigation which has been monopolizing the front pages, there has been steady continuance of the reconstruction work to which the Republican administration has devoted its energies since it came into power. To begin with, the appropriation committees in both Houses, headed by Madden of Illinois in the House and by Warren of Wyoming in the Senate, have been trying to discover every possible opportunity to reduce appropriations. Mr. Madden spent a large part of the recess of Congress in this task, for upon him falls the greater burden of the work, since the appropriation bills originate in the House of Representatives. As a result of his summer work, Madden broke down in health, but has recovered and is now in daily attendance upon the important committee of which he is chairman. The Agricultural Committees of both Houses have been giving careful and extended consideration to numerous bills for aid to farmers, particularly in the Northwest. Advocates of re- CROP CONDITIONS General world conditions in agriculture call for the most thoughtful consideration and intelligent leadership at this time. We have been passing through a period of general agricultural depression due to economic conditions of the world brought about by the World war, is the opinion of G. N. Hecke. Prices of raw agricultural products have been such that the purchasing power of the dollar received by farmers is not equal in value to that which prevailed in the pre-war period. The manufactured products which the farmer must necessarily buy have continued to remain on the high level of prices thus causing a problem to producers of major importance. Probably at no time in the history of agriculture have general conditions been more acute in the country at large than during the crop season just closed. For the past five years the farm value of soil products of the state, according to the California Cooperative Crop Reporting service, is shown by the following figures: Grand total value of field, fruit and vegetable crops. 1919 $567,185,000 1920 503,229,000 1921 362,731,000 1922 431,194,000 1923 415,019,000 A study of these figures shows that the farm value of our crops is $153,166,000 less in 1923 than in 1919. The years 1919 and 1920 were years of inflated prices as a result of conditions following the war, but we are now returning to pre-war conditions. The general unrest being expressed throughout the country is noticeable Movements of various kinds politically and economically are in progress, all looking toward relieving the economic condition of the farmer. The agricultural possibilities of California at this particular time offer attractive inducements to those who are seeking new locations for farming. We ind from the records of commercial clubs-and other organizations interested in the development of California a large movement of people into the state looking for new locations to conduct fruit growing, livestock raising, or other agricultural activities. Farm values in our state are now such that the present land owner is justified in remaining on the land, and this seems to be an opportune time for agricultural land investments of a substantial character and good BOY SCOUT F The Annual Boy Scout of the Orange County Scouts of America, from the Orange Highland City Park fact that the Orange tract cannot be used planted grass.

As a result of his summer work, Madden broke down in health, but has recovered and is now in daily attendance upon the important committee of which he is chairman. The Agricultural Committee of both Houses have been giving careful and extended consideration to numerous bills for aid to farmers, particularly in the Northwest. Advocates of relief measures are not at all agreed as to the form National legislation should take, and, therefore, the task of the committees is difficult. Some of the most insistent advocates of relief for the farmers have no definite ideas as to the legislation that should be enacted. Such men are not of much aid to a Congressional Committee. The immigration committees have been working steadily upon plans for the improvement of our immigration laws in order that desirable immigration may be encouraged under a system of restriction that will keep out the least desirable. Public opinion has decreed a limitation upon the number to be admitted. Because a man would probably make a good citizen is no longer a conclusive reason why he should be admitted. With an excessive number of good men seeking admission, it is the effort of the committee to devise a plan which will insure the admission of the best of the good applicants. To devise a selective plan that will accomplish desired results without giving basis for a charge of discrimination is not easy. Other committees have been considering bills for the establishment of a Department of Education, for submission of a Child Labor Amendment, commercial clubs and other organizations interested in the development of California a large movement of people into the state looking for new locations to conduct fruit growing, livestock raising, or other agricultural activities. Farm values in our state are now such that the present land owner is justified in remaining on the land, and this seems to be an opportune time for agricultural land investments of a substantial character and good farm land can now be purchased in this state at reasonable prices more in harmony with the true productive value of the land than for the past few years. Inflicted farm land values are rapidly disappearing, particularly in California, which condition means that agriculture is offering better inducements at this time for those who are interested in taking a part in the development of our vast agricultural resources. The interest which our banking systems and business interests of all kinds are taking in the farmer's problem is very encouraging. This is doing much to relieve the financial situation which agriculture for many years has been experiencing. Modern business methods are being applied to agriculture, and as the farmer becomes successful so in turn all other lines of industry are benefitted. There is much farm land of proven agricultural value in California which can be purchased at this time at a reasonable price. We believe, therefore, the farmers of this state will hesitate before disposing of valuable property, and those who are looking toward California with the idea of engaging in agriculture will find this the most opportune time to engage in this industry under our very favorable agricultural environment.

Almost a hundred septic tanks were built last year as a direct influence of demonstrations conducted by the Agricultural Extension service in Orange county, according to H. E. Wahlberg, farm advisor. Actual construction of the tank is shown at these field meetings, which are held from time to time at the request of prospective builders. All the labor needed to build an efficient farm septic tank to dispose of household sewage with perfect safety is two men for two days, giving average conditions. And the total cost, exclusive of labor, is only from $27 to $36, according to W. M. Cory, assistant farm advisor. Full directions for constructing septic tanks of simple type are included in a circular just received, No. 270, entitled "a farm septic tank." The tendency of septic tank plans is in the direction of simplicity. Many different types have been recommended from time to time, commonly multiple chambered. A single chambered septic tank, however, provided with baffle boards to control local currents and with outlet one inch lower than inlet, is recommended. Tanks of this type have been in successful operation in California for more than ten years. The directions for building constitute the essential part of Circular 270, which is available at the farm bureau office. Under this heading are discussed the matter of preparing for excavation, the forms, the construction of the tank and of the cover, removing, tank forms, and connecting be assigned to duty among the eight Army garrisons which guard the approach to New York. COMPENSATION COSTS Supplemental report was recently received by the Statistical Department of the Industrial Accident Commission in which an employer reported a total cost of $11,339.11 for an injury occurring to one of its employees in May, 1921. This total included medical and hospital expenses of over $9,000, the remaining amount having been expended for disability indemnity. This report was not the final one to be made as the employer stated the injured man had not yet returned to work. John A. McGilvray, chairman of the Commission says such cases are exceptional, but it signifies the possible liability for serious injury and should be a warning to those employers who have not protected themselves by carrying compensation insurance. HARBOR CLUB MEETING The Harbor Realty Club, an organization of realty men of Costa Mesa, Newport Beach and Balboa, will hold its next regular meeting on Friday, March 28th when Mr. H. E. Wahlberg, County Farm Advisor will talk to the club members on tree planting for the harbor district. Mr. Wahlberg will cover his subject in a very broad way, indicating what trees are suitable for planting along the roads approaching Newport Bay and the trees which are suited to the beach conditions and climate. The committee in charge of the meeting consists of Messrs. Earnest Grill, of Balboa, Mr. R. S. White, of Newport Beach, Mr. H. H. Williamson of Costa Mesa. The meeting is to be BOY SCOUT FIELD MEET The Annual Boy Scout Field Meet of the Orange County Council, Boy Scouts of America, has been changed from the Orange High school to the Anaheim City Park because of the fact that the Orange High school tract cannot be used, due to newly planted grass. Some very interesting and novel events will be included in the meet, which is to be held Saturday, April 26th, and which promises to be one of the biggest ever held among the Scouts in Orange County. The list of events for the day is as follows: Parade and Formal Review; Tug of War; Water Boiling; Wall Scaling; Troop Demonstration; Dressing Race; Flap-Jack Cooking; First Aid Race, and Closing Ceremony. APOLIGIZES TO HEFLIN This paper says the National Republican, owes an apology to the Honorable Tom Heflin, the Mt. Peloe of the United States Senate for an unintentional misrepresentation which, undoubtedly, has been doing him some harm, among his Alabama Democratic constituents. The paper said last week that when Senator Heflin pulled a gun in a crowded Washington street car and fired at a negro workman who gave the senator back talk upon being rebuked for falling to give his seat to a white woman, he missed the negro and hit a whit man. This was an undue reflection upon Mr. Heflin's marksmanship. His first shot, as a matter of fact, hit the unarmed negro in the neck. His second shot, intended to finish the job, wont through the street car window and struck a white man who was walking with his wife on Pennsylvania avenue, not knowing club members on tree planting for the harbor district. Mr. Wahlberg will cover his subject in a very broad way, indicating what trees are suitable for planting along the roads approaching Newport Bay and the trees which are suited to the beach conditions and climate. The committee in charge of the meeting consists of Messrs. Earnest Grill, of Balboa, Mr. R. S. White, of Newport Beach, Mr. H. H. Williamson of Costa Mesa. The meeting is to be held at the Newport Harbor Yacht club at a dinner. Mr. Coolidge's political enemies are overplaying their hand. They are engaged in reckless intrigue of bearing false witness against an upright president of the United States and will not succeed. Congress will muddle through its many difficulties this winter and next spring. The country will not go to the demnition bow-wow, but it will receive little or no aid from the I-told-you-so's in Congress or an outside.
