FARM BUREAU NOTES August Summary of Testing Association At the close of the month, records of the Orange County Cowtesting Association indicate that 800 cows were tested, averaging 920 pounds milk and 34.2 pounds butterfat, with 241 animals producing 40 pounds butterfat or over per month. The butterfat average is 3.7 pounds less than for the previous month. To L. C. Lea goes the honor of having high herd under 25 cows, his herd averaging 40.6 pounds butterfat for the month. H. L. Wakeham's herd was high of herds under 40 cows, with an average of 36.8 pounds butterfat. Ostercamp Brothers had high herd of 40 cows and over, with an average of 42.5 pounds butterfat. A. C. Murdy had the highest producing cow for the month, with a total production of 1798 pounds milk and 80.9 pounds butterfat. Tomato Growers' Meeting Successful From the standpoint of attendance and interest the tomato growers' field day, held at Buena Park on September 11, was one of the most successful of its kind ever held in the county. Some 55 growers were present to hear M. Shapovalov, plant pathologist of the United States department of agriculture, talk on various diseases of tomatoes and Roy E. Campbell, entomologist, also of the United States department of agriculture, speak on the habits, appearance and control of various insect pests which attack tomatoes in this county. The meeting was called for 9:30 o'clock, on the Emory ranch of the American Fruit Growers' Association, near Buena Park. Assistant Farm Advisor Ellis introduced Mr. Shapovalov, who talked on such diseases as fusarium, the large tomato worm, commonly known as the tobacco worm, and the wire worm were discussed by Mr. Campbell. The extension service of Orange county is in a position to do more work with the truck crop growers this coming year than in the past, so they may expect meetings and demonstrations of a seasonal nature almost any time. In fact, plans are being laid at the present time for a truck crop school to be held some time in November. As these plans mature a little further, announcements will be made from the farm advisor's office. Extension Schools For Citrus Growers Short courses in citrus culture are announced by the Agricultural Extension Service, co-operating with the College of Agriculture, to be held at Santa Paula, October 5-10; Lindsay, October 12-17, and Ontario, November 30 to December 5. The success of past schools has been so great as to warrant repetition of effort, and present indications point to a large attendance. The courses have been outlined with a view to meeting the current problems of the industry and special conditions in the localities in which they are to be given. Citrus growers and branch managers will be particularly interested in the phases of orchard management and practices to be discussed. Lectures and demonstrations will be given by faculty men of the college, extension workers and prominent horticultural officials. Subjects to be considered include soil management, cultivation, irrigation, fertilization, pruning, treatment of trunk and root diseases, methods of restoring injured trees, pest control by spraying, fumigation, and the biological method; orchard heating, and the use and management of windbreaks. Irrigation Meetings 55 growers were present to hear M. Shapovalov, plant pathologist of the United States department of agriculture, talk on various diseases of tomatoes and Roy E. Campbell, entomologist, also of the United States department of agriculture, speak on the habits, appearance and control of various insect pests which attack tomatoes in this county. The meeting was called for 9:30 o'clock, on the Emory ranch of the American Fruit Growers' Association, near Buena Park. Assistant Farm Advisor Ellis introduced Mr. Shapovalov, who talked on such diseases as fusarium wilt, western blight, nematodes and others of lesser importance. Fusarium wilt, he explained, can easily be recognized by the plants turning yellow in the field and often dying after reaching considerable size. There is also a dry rot which appears in the stem and roots. The cure for this disease is to use a resistant variety. The Norton, a selection of the Stone, is resistant to wilt. He also discussed western blight at considerable length, describing it as a yellowing of the vines, the leaves curling upward and exposing purple veins. Most of the affected plants become worthless and a large percentage die. There is no control for this disease, except a rotation of crops. Nematode and blossom end rot were also discussed. At the present, nematode cannot be cured, except by rotation of crops, while blossom end rot, a slow developing dry rot, can be prevented by the maintenance of proper moisture conditions. Mr. Campbell then talked on various insects, the most important being the tomato fruit worm. This worm is very much like the corn car worm, causing a great deal of damage by eating into the ripening fruit. It can be controlled by the use of arsenicals, either dust or spray. Such other insects as Parent Teachers To Meet Saturday Interesting Program Arranged for Santa Ana Session All arrangements have been completed for the annual institute of the Fourth (Orange county) District Parent-Teacher Associations, to be held next Saturday, September 19, at the Julia C.

MEXICAN FINANCE A new bank is established at Mexico, comparable to our federal reserve bank. It will operate as a national bank, with $50,000,000 capital, of which the government furnishes 51 per cent and Mexican bankers the rest. It is going to go very slow in issuing paper,"because the Mexican public distrusts that kind of money," wherein it is wiser than some European national banks have been.Eventually, as workmen grow accustomed to paper,the issue will be increased until the gold coverage is 33 per cent. This is a conservative program,and therefore pleasing to Mexico's friends and creditors.No less notable is the refusal to accept any help from outside.All of the bank's capital is Mexican.Noticeably this bespeaks not only a wholesome national pride but a reassuring state of finance.The more self-reliant Mexico is in money matters,the better Americans will like it. Our trade with South America is gaining rapidly,which is another indication of how our high tariff stifles export business.

National Campaign For Road Safety Union Oil Company Spending Half a Million in Cause The national campaign for street and highway safety received its biggest Pacific coast boost when it was announced that the entire outdoor advertising campaign of the Union Oil Company of California implemented by its regular Death Overtakes Old-Time Citizen Joseph Claes, aged 70 years, one of the early pioneers of this section, died last Tuesday at the family home, 1135 West South street. Mr. Claes was a native of Germany, coming to this country at an early age. Sixteen years ago he came to Anaheim from Davenport, Iowa, where he had lived for a number of years. He is survived by his wife, Anna Claes; one son, Tony J., of this city, and a daughter, Mrs. C. W. Mosena of Oakland; three nephews, Joseph, now in Germany, Ben and Bernard of Anaheim, and two nieces, the Misses Katherne and Helen Claes of Anaheim. Recitation of the Rosary was held at the Backs, Terry & Campbell funeral parlor, at 7:30 o'clock Wednesday evening. Requiem mass was held at 9 o'clock Thursday morning at the St. Boniface Catholic church, this city, the cortege leaving the chapel at 8:45 o'clock. Burial was in Calvary cemetery, Los Angeles. Nation of Savings • Accounts Good Sign According to bank statistics, a radical change has come over the habits of the American people. We have always been called the least thrifty in the world. We make money easily and we spend it with a lavish hand. The proverbial rainy day has received less consideration from Americans than from any of the peoples from whom we derive our parent stock. France in particular has always been held up to us as a model. Savings accounts in France before the war—and perhaps at present also—were said to be held by a greater percentage of the people than in any other country, far greater than in America. The war must have taught us something as to future possibilities. It is generally held responsible for the present jazz spirit and recklessness, but the savings banks tell a different story. When the war began savings accounts totalled but 10 per cent of commercial accounts. Today they are 40 per cent of the total. In California they are 50 Every mother is interested in a stylish and serviceable fall school frock for her daughter. This Nada frock combines simplicity of lines with richness of effect. It is made of tweed and mirrored. Better Methods in Orchard Cultivation (Continued from Page One) It has not been and probably will not be profitable to equip their orchards with heaters. But there are still hundreds of citrus groves in this county without heaters that should have them. Any grove that is worth cultivating and irrigating and fertilizing and fumigating is worth insurance against frost damage, unless the immunity to such damage is practically unquestionable." With respect to the waste of water and the damage to crops by the use of more water than is needed, Mr. Wahlberg again said that his statement was based on actual tests and records. He said that the best authorities are now agreed that more fruit and better fruit can be grown, in a large percentage of our citrus groves, by the use of less water; and in view of the necessity of the conservation of water, Mr. Wahlberg expressed the opinion that this factor in conservation should be given careful consideration. Mr. Wahlberg also pointed out that, in his opinion, the people of Southern California would have to face the prospect of using purified sewer water for irrigation. "Science and not sentiment," said Mr. Wahlberg, "will have to be our guide in this matter." Some of the finest and most prolific agricultural sections of Europe are dependent almost wholly on sewer water for both irrigation and fertilization; and we have the testimony of the most competent scientists in the world that sewer water can be rendered absolutely odorless for irrigation purposes." Stanton Notes (By M. RILEY) Miss Marion Turner has accepted a position at the courthouse in the tax collector's office. Jerry Ridenour and wife of Anaheim spent Friday evening at the Riley home. Miss Ruby Lord and Johnfile Riley spent the weekend at Compton. Mr. and Mrs. Otis Brown, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Wright and son, Lane, of Los Angeles all motored to Santa Monica Park and took supper. The national campaign for street and highway safety received its biggest Pacific coast boost when it was announced that the entire outdoor advertising campaign of the Union Oil Company of California, supplemented by its regular newspaper advertising throughout all territory in which the company operates, costing in excess of half a million dollars, for the 14 months beginning October 15, will be devoted to the fostering of safety rules and precautions among motorists. The announcement is signed by L. P. St. Clair, vice-president. The company will display a total of 20,000 full-size posters during the period of the campaign. These posters will appear continuously until December 15, 1926, on all of the 1500 board locations which the company has under contract. There will be 14 separate designs, each covering one of the big phases of the present safety need. The first broadside, a poster showing a group of children playing and a motorist stopping, is headed: "Children Will Play. Be Careful." This poster will be on the boards October 15, staying up until November 15, when the second shot will be fired. Decision of the company to devote over five hundred thousand dollars to the safety cause comes after a lengthy and complete investigation into the accident situation on the Pacific coast. The investigation convinced the officials that the Pacific coast is facing a crisis in this respect, and that efforts should be toward safe motoring and safe streets before any further attempts to increase automobile usage. If those New York candidates for mayor keep all the promises they are making about building new subways, the city is going to look like a prairie dog village. President Hindenburg expresses his thanks for the interest which American business interests are taking in Germany. Evidently he would rather have our business men come over there than our doughboys. France in particular has always been held up to us as a model. Savings accounts in France before the war—and perhaps at present also—were said to be held by a greater percentage of the people than in any other country, far greater than in America. The war must have taught us something as to future possibilities. It is generally held responsible for the present jazz spirit and recklessness, but the savings banks tell a different story. When the war began savings accounts totalled but 10 per cent of commercial accounts. Today they are 40 per cent of the total. In California they are 50 per cent, due, probably, to the large immigration and the accounts placed on deposit pending investment. We seem to have learned the lesson of provision for the future, and an extremely valuable lesson it is. Such provision not only makes less to be dreaded the time when a period of unemployment may come, but it makes less likely the arrival of such a period. The more money there is in savings accounts the more the banks will have for loaning to legitimate enterprises, which tend to prevent unemployment. But that is not all. This saving increase is being reflected in home building. More than half a billion contracts were let in July for construction and more than three billion during the first seven months of this year.

MICHIGAN PICNIC The Michigan people of all Southern California are advised that their official picnic reunion will be held in Sycamore Grove Park, Saturday, September 19, 1925, under the auspices of the Michigan Association of Southern California, which has been featuring these reunions for 25 years. Announcements of town, county or local picnics will not change this regular annual event for all the Southland. Dr. M. R. Parmelee, president of the association, is in charge of all the plans and arrangements for the day. The Wolverines of the whole West will be welcomed. All the happy picnic features will be carried out and a long, jolly day is assured all Michiganders. Dr. and Mrs. Ed M. Hiner, noted cornetist and soloist, will aid in the splendid program offered the picnickers. That the situation in Mexico is im-proving is shown by the fact that they are now able to use paper money instead of chile beans as a medium of exchange.
