INTENSIVE CAMPAIGN AGAINST ACCIDENTS An intensive and continuous campaign every day in the year is the only successful method of insuring the public against accidents, according to observations made at the National Safety Congress, which recently held its annual convention in Louisville. Spasmodic efforts for a day or a week are unsatisfactory in the reduction of accidents, and are gradually being abandoned in favor of the permanent educational work, is the conclusion reached. Many communities in Southern California are coming to realize that safety is a matter of general education and that the situation demands the best thought of experts. They are rapidly coordinating in the general plan of not only trying to establish safety by law, but of cooperating with city organizations, city authorities, state and national officers and special educational campaigns taken directly into the public schools. Leading in this intensive educational campaign in this section is the Automobile club of Southern California, which has a department devoted entirely to the subject of public safety. Its activities keep it close in touch with the city, the county and the state authorities, and its offices in 30 centers of population fit in well to be the guiding spirit in this necessary work. The campaign for safety is broadcasted by posters and story, by word of mouth and printed pamphlet, by photograph and motion picture, by precept and radio. It is believed that, education is the best preventative, as statistics indicate that about 90 percent of the accidents are preventable and that the loss of life, economic waste attendant upon injured persons and the destroyed property can be for the construction of retaining walls around the pier and abutments of the East Chapman bridge in the Fourth Road district, was accepted as completed. A resolution was adopted in the matter of the Costa Mesa Lighting district. The board adjourned to December 23, 1924 at 10:00 a.m. THE PRUNING SHEARS The pruning season is at hand again and the arguments in favor of "long" or "short" pruning are again coming to the front. L. C. Barnard in a recent issue of California Cultivator offers a new name that has an appeal as being just what is needed. He called it "Intelligent Pruning." The article is as follows: Now that most of the 1924 fruit harvest is over, the fruit grower is naturally beginning to think more or less of the pruning season. Before many moons, the rusty shears will be oiled up and brightened on the grindstone, and the old pruning saws will be put in proper shape for the coming pruning season. Already growers are asking another much debated question, "Shall it be a long pruning or short pruning this year?" Which immediately brings us to the point of this article. Why in this big fruit growing state which justly prides itself on its fruit and the vegetable standardization work can not standardize on our pruning methods? If the hard and short fast pruners and the extreme long pruners would get together, compromise and say, "Why not apply common sense to our pruning and forget this short and long "stuff" and develop intelligent pruning methods which are applicable to any variety of fruit in local perennials of capacity of orchard Contra Costa county with a crew of U.S. writers had the 115 acres of eight pears, apricots and figs to common seeding was a case of "necessity of invention" hence urgent" and "common." This particular order severely in 1921 at all in 1922, and stand of trees was being large and thick and showing no vigor therefore, readily set pattern could orchard as a whole an individual problem had to be pruned. Likewise, local play an important grower decide how. For example, in some counties apricot trees ed back slightly to ing and sun-burning ciple applies to him because if the branch long they lap over amount of new wood not been developed to the direct rays sections which have winds more heading to, otherwise break red fruit will be thinned. The intelligent prune takes into consideration of each individual local climatic conditions influence the tree, of tree being pruned apricot which lies on short lived soil which bears its first year old laterals, not be pruned as of population fit in well to be the guiding spirit in this necessary work. The campaign for safety is broadcasted by posters and story, by word of mouth and printed pamphlet, by photograph and motion picture, by precept and radio. It is believed that education is the best preventative, as statistics indicate that about 90 per cent of the accidents are preventable and that the loss of life, economic waste attendant upon injured persons and the destroyed property can be averted. Realizing that so many children are casualty victims and that accident conditions of tomorrow depend upon the attitude of the generation which is in school today, the auto club has carried on, in connection with the various school authorities, an intensive campaign prepared especially for the children to understand the hazard of modern day life. It has been found that the children are quick to realize these responsibilities and develop a spirit of watchfulness, not only of their own persons, but establish a protectorate over the smaller youngsters. SUPERVISORS PROCEEDINGS The Board met in regular session. Present Supervisors T. B. Talbert, Chairman, Wm. Schumacher, Leon O. Whitspil, George Jeffrey and the Clerk. Minutes of the previous meeting read and approved. Demands on the county were allowed as read. Map tract No. 729 was accepted as the official plotting of said tract. Chairman was authorized to approve bond of $2500 for street work. A resolution and order of the board of supervisors declaring work completed, accepting same and ordering bond issued for contract price, incidental costs, expenses of proceedings, etc., was duly adopted in the matter of road improvement No. 26. A resolution and order of the board of supervisors declaring work completed, accepting same and ordering bond issued for contract price, incidental costs, expenses of proceedings, etc., was duly adopted in the matter of road improvement No. 30. The contract for the grading and graveling of Brookhurst avenue from Lincoln avenue three quarters of a mile south, was awarded to Sparks & McClellan at a price of $2820.00. G. W. Ingle, Justice of the Peace, Orange township, was granted a thirty-fourth share of the debt. Why in this big fruit growing state which justly prides itself on its fruit and the vegetable standardization work can not standardize on our pruning methods? If the hard and short fast pruners and the extreme long pruners would get together, compromise and say, "Why not apply common sense to our pruning and forget this short and long "stuff" and develop intelligent pruning methods which are applicable to any variety of fruit in any locality regardless of local climatic conditions, pruning would no longer be a debatable mysterious art." The terms "short" and "long" are unfortunately misleading and trouble makers in any community where fruit growers hold forth. If you approach a grower who has been in the habit of cutting his trees rather severely, and mention long pruning he immediately becomes unapproachable and suspicious, largely due to the heated controversies, pro and con which have been edited in the agricultural magazines during the past few years by educators, orchardists, and, unfortunately, by writers who were prejudiced for one system or other. Nevertheless many growers who have been in the habit of cutting two-thirds of the new growth from their trees each year are now cutting back about one-half of the new growth and likewise many of the long pruners are now heading their trees from one-third to one-half, depending on the vigor and general condition of the trees. In other words "common sense" or "intelligent pruning" is finally taking precedence over either long or short pruning. The above results is very conceivable and logical, for why should a pruner go into his orchard and prune all of his trees according to a long or short system, regardless of variety vigor or shape? The writer has at this point forcibly driven home during the season of 1923 while in the County to experiment onstrate "common principles which will that locality under climatic conditions comprised of 1,700 hence the pruning portant commercial... ed, accepting same and ordering bond issued for contract price, incidental costs, expenses of proceedings etc., was duly adopted in the matter of road district improvement No. 30. The contract for the grading and graveling of Brookhurst avenue from Lincoln avenue three quarters of a mile south, was awarded to Sparks & McClellan at a price of $2820.00. G. W. Ingle, Justice of the Peace, Orange township, was granted a thirty days leave of absence from the state. It was ordered that the pool room license of Charles Breater and E. B. Pellerin be transferred to R. C. Brewer, at Buena Park. Fumigating license was ordered issued to Orange County Fumigating company. Map of tract No. 734 was ordered received and same referred to the City Engineer of the City of Huntington Beach. A resolution was adopted directing the County Auditor to draw warrants on the Treasury of Orange County for Frank M. Hopkins, $500.00; Gustaf W. Nystron, $500.00; and Carrie H. Gustafson Hopkins, $50.00 for the purchase of certain property. A resolution was adopted directing the County Auditor to draw warrant on the Treasury of Orange County for Henry H. Harrington, for $375.00, for the purchase of certain property. Deed for the right of way from Miriam Hedges Smith, in the Fifth road district, was accepted and declared a public highway. The bond for $500.00 with Fidelity and Deposit company of Maryland was ordered substituted for existing bond of $500.00 filed by the Associated Oil company, on Franchise No. 233, and the Chairman was authorized to approve bond as substituted. The contract of George A. Simpson, Since January 1st, 1923, the Santa Fe has purchased new equipment costing over $50,000,000, including 13,750 freight cars and 146 locomotives. It has spent $43,000,000 additional on new shops, terminals, double track, etc. As a result, from August 1st to November 1st, the Santa Fe Railway handled 48,395 cars of commercial freight in excess of any previous year—an increase of 9.7%—without congestion or any material delay. Notwithstanding the heavy calls, cars have been furnished practically on demand. In the few cases of local shortage, due to excessive local demand, cars have been furnished with such slight delay as to be negligible. Four years of legislative peace and fair treatment under the Transportation Act have been a vital factor in its ability to meet satisfactorily the record-breaking freight traffic of the past two years and maintain a surplus of cars at all times, barring local temporary shortages. ANAHEIM GAZETTE capacity of orchard superintendent of Contra Costa county. At this time, with a crew of University students, the writer had the pleasure of pruning 115 acres of eight year old fruit trees—pears, apricots and almonds, according to common sense principles. It was a case of "necessity is the mother of invention" hence the term "intelligent" and "common sense" pruning. This particular orchard had been cut severely in 1921 and scarcely pruned at all in 1922, and, in addition, the stand of trees was very uneven, some being large and thrifty, others small and showing no vigor. The reader can therefore, readily understand that no set pattern could be applied to this orchard as a whole, but each tree was an individual problem in itself and had to be pruned accordingly. Likewise, local climatic conditions play an important part in helping the grower decide how to prune his trees. For example, in some of the coastal counties apricot trees have to be headed back slightly to prevent rot-cracking and sun-burning. This same principle applies to hot interior valleys, because if the branches are left too long they lap over and if a sufficient amount of new wood and leaf area has not been developed the fruit is exposed to the direct rays of the sun. Also in sections which have strong prevailing winds, more heading has to be resorted to, otherwise breakage and wind scarred fruit will be the ultimate result. The intelligent pruner not only has to take into consideration the condition of each individual tree, an dthe local climatic conditions which might influence the tree, but also the kind of tree being pruned. For example the apricot which bears its fruit largely on short lived spurs and the peach which bears its fruit mostly on one year old laterals, cannot and should not be pruned as the apple and pear CARE OF ORPHANS An orphan should never be placed in an orphan asylum if maintenance elsewhere can be arranged, according to the policy of the California government in caring for approximately 13,000 orphans, half orphans, abandoned youngsters and minor dependents of incapacitated parents. Mrs. Amy Steinhart Braden, chief of the children's aid bureau, state board of control, announces that of that number, most of the children have already been placed in private homes. To maintain these children the state is spending $2,700,000 during the present biennium and an even greater disbursement is in prospect for the next two years. The law of this state fixes the allotment to each child of $10 a month. Every county in the state is contributing at least something to the upkeep of dependent children in addition to the state allowance. First honors according to Mrs. Braden, should go to Alameda county, which pays $10 a month to each youngster on the aid list from that county. Los Angeles aid rates vary in an attempt to suit each individual case. Mental defectives get $15 a month. San Francisco helps her children on the state list with $7.50 a month. A public health nurse in virtually every county, is, according to Mrs. Braden, of cardinal importance in improving the work of the state for dependent youngsters. Health guidance for needy children is as important as financial assistance. Since March of this year Mrs. Braden has added 888 new families to the state aid list. These families included 2,149 children. In every case possible the state has allowed children to remain in the hands of their mothers. NEW EDUCATIONAL BILL PRESENTED TO CONGRESS The intelligent pruner not only has to take into consideration the condition of each individual tree, an dthe local climatic conditions which might influence the tree, but also the kind of tree being pruned. For example the apricot which bears its fruit largely on short lived spurs and the peach which bears its fruit mostly on one year old laterals, cannot and should not be pruned as the apple and pear which produce most of their fruit on long lived spurs. Another more marked example, wherein the variety must be taken into consideration during the pruning is the Rose pear. This variety, from tests in the Carmel Valley, has clearly demonstrated that long pruning principles are not applicable to this particular variety, under Carmel Valley conditions due to the lopping over of the branches and consequent loss of fruit due to breakage. Consequently intelligent cutting back will have to be resorted to for this variety under these conditions. The reader should not misconstrue from the above remarks that the writer is either for or against long or short pruning, but is simply making an appeal for a more rational type of intelligent pruning, regardless of personal prejudice which will be conducive to a long lived, healthy productive tree, as well as a fatter pocket-book for the grower. The California Orchard Company at King City has volunteered the use of a plot of about 6,000 trees including pears, apricots, peaches, prunes, almonds, (bearing and non-bearing) for the extension service of Monterey County to experiment upon and demonstrate "common sense" pruning principles which will be applicable to that locality under he local prevailing climatic conditions. This orchard is comprised of 1,700 acres in one block, hence the pruning plot will be of important commercial value. NEW EDUCATIONAL BILL PRESENTED TO CONGRESS A bill providing for the formation of an executive department of education and relief has been introduced by Frederick W. Dallinger, chairman of the House Education Committee. A secretary, appointed by the President, would head the department, aided by three assistants, heading education, public health, and veteran's relief agencies, which would take over the duties of numerous bureaus now under the jurisdiction of other departments. The new bill it is said will take precedence on the calendar of the House before the other educational bills now pending, including the Sterling-Reed bill. As the bill is drawn in accordance with the plank in the Republican platform, and in harmony with public utterances of President Coolidge proponents of the bill expect favorable action at this session of Congress. The bill carries no authorization or appropriation of federal aid for education. The National Education Association and other organizations supporting the movement for a department of education are not inclined to indorse the Dallinger Bill, as they fear that the important interests of public education will be subordinated to non-educational government units proposed to be incorporated in the department. They contend that education is of sufficient importance to justify a department of its own. Dated October 1, 1923 GUARANTEED AS TO PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST payable April 1.

Good service to the farmer is of the utmost importance when prices and crops in the aggregate are good. Inadequate railroad facilities cause freight congestion, delays, waste, and loss to everyone. The wholesaler, jobber, and retailer must carry heavy stocks and place orders well in advance, to make sure their shelves do not become bare. The farmer must store his grain and hold his livestock waiting for cars to ship to market. In a country growing like ours it is not easy to keep pace with such growth. During the war the railroads fell behind, as their expansion had to be deferred for more pressing matters. Today they are fairly abreast of the procession. They are pressing forward on a continued program of improvement which, with a continuance of present general conditions, will steadily extend their ability to serve. W. B.
