INTEREST SHOWN IN AVOCADO MARKETING The heaviest crop of avocados in the history of the industry is being marketed in California at the present time. The California Avocado Growers' Exchange is handling the bulk of the crop at the rate of two and one-half tons a week. The fruit is going to local markets and to San Francisco. The increase in tonnage has been accompanied by a reduction in price, a fact welcomed by the consuming public. The avocado growers' organization calls attention to the fact that the fruit o fthe avocado contains a thousand calories per pound, 2 per cent of protein and from 15 to 30 per cent vegetable oil and is urging upon the consumer that on this basis it ranks higher as a food than lean meat. Prediction is made that there will be a great increase in consumption of the fruit. An indication of the interest and progress in the development of marketing arrangements of the avocado in Southern California was the recent series of twelve meetings held in the principal avocado growing districts of Southern California by the California Avocado Growers' Exchange, according to George B. Hodgkin, secretary-manager of the organization. At these meetings, the present marketing situation was discussed and contemplated plans for the future explained. Directors of the ensuing year for the marketing organization were elected by the different districts as follows: District No. 1, South San Diego County, W. H. Salmon, Chula Vista; No. 2, A. R. Sprague, Del Mar; No. 3, South Orange County, C. E. Utt, Tustin; No. 4, North Orange County, E. C. Dutton, Anaheim; No. 5, Whittler-La Habra, E. R. Canterbury, East since the beginning of the year. This is greatly in excess of the total figure of 1923. Of the total registrations to date, 970,757 are automobiles, 114,463 are pneumatic tired trucks and 36,473 solid tired trucks. Motorcycle registrations continue to show a steady decrease the registrations since the first of the year being 9,354. Trailers however, took a big jump with a total of 10,100. The total fees collected by the division on registrations, transfers and licenses amounts to $5,519,807.90. Approximately $3,000,000 of this amount was derived from the flat fee charged for automobiles. COST OF AUTOS Automobile owners will spend three times as much this year as it cost to run the biggest business in the world, according to statistical data received here. The "biggest business" referred to is the United States Government, which will cost around four billion dollars in 1924. It is estimated that this year will see an expenditure of at least 12 billion dollars on cars, trucks and their maintenance. These stupendous figures give some idea of the extent of the motor vehicle industry, which is only one generation old. It is not surprising that speculation on the future reaches staggering totals when the present annual expenditure is considered. Last year the public spent nearly three billion dollars on new cars. In addition to this there were 2,400,000 cars sold, valued at one billion dollars. According to estimates for the present year, the country will consume approximately nine billion gallons of gasoline at a cost of one billion, eight hundred million dollars.

The Avacado Association and the Exchange are planning a thorough educational campaign in connection with the use of the avocado as a feed. Special recipe booklets are being prepared and tentative plans are being drawn up for at least one demonstration booth where the different uses can be illustrated to the public at large. Reports from nurserymen indicate that extensive plantings of avocados are being made this season throughout Southern California. This condition is also prevalent in Florida, where the total acreage greatly exceeds that of California at the present time. AUTOMOBILE NOTES Thirty-five of the 48 states of the Union assess motorists for a gasoline tax ranging from one to four cents. This was announced as the result of compilations made by the Division of Motor Vehicles. The figures show 11 states charging one cent a gallon, 15 charging two cents, one charging 2½ cents, and seven charging three cents. Arkansas is highest charging four cents per gallon on gas and 10 cents on oil. Practically all of the states devote the proceeds to road purposes. Officials of the Division declare the popularity of this method of taxation in California is evidenced by the fact that not a single protest has been received against it. Progress is being made all over the state in the recent campaign launched against headlight violators according to announcement by Will H. WOOLLY-POD MILKWEED ROISON CATTLE AND SHEEP Woolly-pod milkweed, a plant growing rather abundantly in parts of western California, has long been suspected by stockmen of being poisonous to cattle and sheep. Recent investigations by the United States Department of Agriculture have shown that it is very poisonous to these animals. Although no cases have been reported, it is though that it may also be poisonous to horses. Animals are not likely to eat it except when other forage is scarce, but it is particularly dangerous as only a small quantity is necessary and the dried plant may be eaten in hay. As little as 0.1 of a young per hundredweight of animal may poison and 0.22 of a pound of the green material or its equivalent of dried plant per hundredweight may cause death. A detailed account of the experimental work and descriptions of the plant with photographs have been published in Department Bulletin 1212 The Woolly-Pod Milkweed as a Poisonous Plant, by C. D. Marsh and A. B. Clawson. Copies of the bulletin may be obtained, as long as the supply lasts, by writing to the Department of Agriculture, Washington, D.C.

Marsh, Chief of the Division of Motor Vehicles. When the campaign was started on May first it was found that approximately 60 per cent of all drivers had lights not complying with the law. About 90 percent of the violations were glaring headlights. Traffic officers began checking up the machines and as fast as violators were caught they were sent to adjusting stations of which there are about 1500 in to state. Reports indicate that the motoring public is beginning to appreciate the danger of driving with glaring lights and is willing to cooperate. "Look at Your Own." is one of the campaign slogans adopted by the officers after finding that a large number of motorists have glaring lights without knowing it. Traveling salesmen were informed in a bulletin from the Division of Motor Vehicles that they would be permitted to carry 150 pounds of samples without having their cars designated as commercial vehicles. If samples are carried in excess of 150 pounds a weight fee on the vehicle will be charged. New figures compiled by the Division of Motor Vehicles show a total of 1,121,698 automobiles and trucks have been registered in California. While in some respects the advancement in orchard and farm practices has possibly not kept pace with that of other industries, yet if we look back to the time of the crude ox drawn wagons and plows, the old oaken bucket that hung in the well and the tallow candle, and then view the modern farm with its automobile, tractors and trucks, its power driven pumps, feed cutters, grindstones and churns, its electrically equipped household conveniences and electrically lighted buildings, we cannot help but feel that agriculture has made some advances in the things that make rural life worth while. Of course, in most of these United States, the oxen were long ago replaced by horses, the old oaken bucket gave way to the windmill and the kerosene lamp put the tallow candle on the shelf. Most of these have in turn given away to the mechanical farm equipment of the present day. There are of course many farms not so equipped, some where conditions will not permit of these conveniences, others where the owners still prefer to cling to the old methods, but few there are that have not or do PRUDENT "How about doing Crimson Gulch on."

ANAHEIM GAZETTE not feel the need or desire to have some of them. While the tractor has in a measure displaced the horse, especially on the larger acres, there are many places where the horse is considered the only practical motive power and many farmers still swear by old Dobbin. In the present day farming each has its place in our agricultural activities and each its champions. Neither can completely displace the other and as we come to know the qualifications and limitations of each there will be less switching about and a more stable demand for both. TOLLING OF THE BELL The defeat of the Johnson presidential delegates in the opinion of politicians at the capital sounds the death knell of Will C. Wood, Superintendent of Public Instruction and C. C. Young, Lieutenant Governor who headed the Johnson ticket. Wood made an actual speaking campaign of the soap box variety and harranged small audiences on the corners of many cities. He was particularly vituperative and vindictive. Wood supported Hoover and the League of Nations four years ago but this time he had switched to Johnson and isolation. Lieutenant Governor Young made a most active campaign and as usual resorted to fake figures and misleading statements. In an eleventh hour statement he said that the immigration bill was in the hands of the president which was untrue. In the southern portion of the state Young spoke of Johnson as a friend of Volstead Act while in the north he was silent on this question.

In an eleventh hour statement he said that the immigration bill was in the hands of the president which was untrue. In the southern portion of the state Young spoke of Johnson as a friend of the Volstead Act while in the north he was silent on this question. Both Young and Wood harbor ambitions to be Governor but the primary election has upset their calculations. They were repudiated at the polls along with a number of other manipulators of the old political machine. U. S. POSTAL SYSTEM FACTS AND FIGURES The biggest single business in the world uses annually: More than 300 tons of stationery and typewriting paper. Nearly 4,000,000 sheets of carbon paper. Also 175,000,000 envelopes and millions and millions of blank forms of one kind and another. To write on this vast amount of stationery and to fill the thirsty ink bottles from New York to San Francisco requires 70,000 quarts of ink. This vast ink reservoir is supplemented by hundreds of thousands of rubber stamps, while the mucilage requirements are 35,000 quarts. In addition to all this it takes 1,620,000 lead pencils, nearly 6,000,000 steel pens, 100,000,000 paper clips, rubber bands by the ton, and 2,331,446 pounds of twine. Nearly 12,000,000 mail sacks are used, and it requires annually 6,000,000 yards of canvas to make new ones. Other interesting figures show that the army of rural letter carriers travel daily 1,173,473 miles, and annually 360,256,364 miles. Fifteen and a half billion stamps and one and a quarter billion postal cards are sold yearly by the post office department to the American public. PRUDENCE "How about doing something to put Crimson Gulch on the map?" "There's a difference of opinion about the advisability of so doing," rejoined Cactus Joe. "Several prominent citizens are apprehensive that if you give a traveler a map showing the Gulch's location it'll only increase his facilities for taking some other city of Orange in said State, on the 3rd day of March, 1924, and pursuant to a resolution of the board of directors of said corporation, which resolution was duly passed at a special meeting of said board of directors duly called and held at the said office of said corporation on the 17th day of April, 1924, at which meeting more than a quorum of the directors of said corporation was present: Notice is hereby given that the principal place of business of said corporation will, on the 15th day of May, 1924, be changed and removed from the County of Orange, State of California, to the City of Los Angeles, County of Los Angeles in said State, after which date the principal place of business of said corporation will be in the said City of Los Angeles, County of Los Angeles.

(Corporate Seal.) PRUDENCE "How about doing something to put Crimson Gulch on the map?" "There's a difference of opinion about the advisability of so doing." rejoined Cactus Joe. "Several prominent citizens are apprehensive that if you give a traveler a map showing the Gulch's location it'll only increase his facilities for takin' some other road." FIRST SHALL BE LAST Apparently Mr. McAdoo will lead in the first ballot of the Democratic convention, but that fact will give no hint of the final poll as strong an electoral vote as many of his competitors for the nomination. A majority of the delegates to the convention are intelligent enough to know that, however friendly they may be to McAdoo. It is their business to nominate the best vote getter that the Democratic Party boasts, and a man condemned by such recent testimony as that before the Senate oil committee is not the logical choice. VANDERLIP AND GASTON MEANS The Daugherty investigating committee is getting ahead. Mr. Vanderlip has associated himself with it as special detective for the unearthing of some more damaging "hearsay." It will be remembered that he is the individual who intimated that President Harding accepted a big bribe through the sale of the Marion Star, then admitted that he had no ground for his statement, and was promptly sued by the owers of the Star for $600,000 libel.
