FARM BUREAU NOTES Truck Crop School Being Organized At a meeting of representatives of the truck crop department of the Los Angeles County Farm Bureau and of the extension service of Los Angeles and Orange counties, it was decided to hold a Joint truck crop school at Buena Park, Orange county, November 16, 17, and 18. Other forms of extension schools have proven very popular in past years, consequently, although one in truck crops is a new venture, it was thought that growers should be interested in this one. A number of different crops will be covered during the three days of the school, among the most important being tomatoes, sweet potatoes, peppers, potatoes, lettuce, cabbage and cauliflower. Not only will cultural operations be touched upon, but such other phases as seed selection, insect and disease control, standardization and marketing will be taken up. Attempts are being made to secure the very best authorities in the state to handle these various subjects. Such well-known authorities as Prof. H. A. Jones, division of truck crops, University of California; Dr. J. T. Rosa of the same institution, Stanley Rodgers, State Department of Agriculture; E. D. McSweeny, well-known potato grower, and several others have already been secured. Each half day of the school will be given over to the discussion of one main crop, with other lesser ones sandwiched in as time will permit. The reason for giving all the subject matter on a certain crop at one time is so that growers who are only interested in certain crops will be able to get their information with a minimum loss of time from their farm work. California Farm Leader Passes On J. W. Nelson, secretary of the California Farm Bureau Federation died soil technologist and as an extension worker because of the fact that his duties in the latter capacity gave him an intimate knowledge of southern agriculture. Growers Tour to Feature Dehydration According to announcement from the farm advisor's office, walnut growers of Orange county will be afforded an opportunity to study various types of walnut dehydration on Friday, October 16. During the past season several new plants have been installed in the Tustin-Santa Ana district. The tour has intentionally been scheduled in the midst of the walnut harvest for the purpose of seeing the different types in actual operation. This will be the second annual tour scheduled by the Agricultural Extension Service for the study of this particular method of walnut curing. Prof. A. W. Christie of the division of fruit products, University of California, who has spent considerable time in testing the various plants, will be the principal speaker of the day. It is planned to start the field tour at 2 o'clock on the afternoon of October 16. The place of meeting will be announced in the press later. All walnut growers are invited to participate in this tour. Association Reports On Cow Testing There were 611 cows tested in the association, producing an average of 32.4 pounds butterfat, which is .4 of a pound better average than that of a year ago. P. J. Swayze of Garden Grove had the high herd under twenty-five cows, with an average of 38.4 pounds butterfat. E. A. Wakeham, with a herd average of 37.5 pounds butterfat, had high herd under forty cows. Stanton Mrs. E. W. Sunday in honor California Farm Leader Passes On J. W. Nelson, secretary of the California Farm Bureau Federation, died on September 29, at his home in Berkeley. This loss comes as a keen blow to organized agriculture of California, inasmuch as he was considered to be one of its ablest leaders. Farm raised, Nelson became interested in the scientific phase of agriculture and entered public service as a soil technologist. For many years he conducted soil survey work throughout the West, and his works on California soils, published by the Bureau of Soils, are known to students throughout the West. Through his connection with the University of California, he later became interested in agricultural extension work and was appointed assistant state leader of farm advisors, and in addition to his executive duties as such, conducted a large amount of field work in soils among California farmers. He was later elected secretary of the California Farm Bureau Federation, a field peculiarly adapted to his capabilities, and his untiring efforts in this line of duty are largely responsible for the fatal breakdown. Orange county farmers became particularly acquainted with Nelson as a Association Reports On Cow Testing There were 611 cows tested in the association, producing an average of 32.4 pounds butterfat, which is .4 of a pound better average than that of a year ago. P. J. Swayze of Garden Grove had the high herd under twenty-five cows, with an average of 38.4 pounds butterfat. E. A. Wakeham, with a herd average of 37.5 pounds butterfat, had high herd under forty cows. A. B. Kuffel, with a herd average of 35.8 pounds butterfat, had the high average of herds of forty cows or over. E. G. Stinson was the owner of the highest producing cow for the month, with a total production of 1605 pounds milk and 75.4 pounds butterfat. Avocado Growers To Visit Carlsbad A number of Orange county avocado growers are planning to spend Saturday, October 10, at Carlsbad at the meeting of the California Avocado Association. Opportunity will be given the visitors of the day to see the new development of the avocado industry in the Carlsbad district. Dr. Lovell dietitian and writer for the Los Angeles Times, will talk about the avocado's place in diet. B. W. Gelssinger of the California Fruit Exchange will discuss advertising in connection with the fruit industry. C. V.

Discuss Betterment Of Mexicans at Meet (Continued from Page One) ing the schools from the present situation. At the conclusion of Mr. Scott's address the meeting unanimously adopted a resolution presented by Dr. H. D. Newkirk, recommending that the chamber of commerce take early action toward establishing a colony for the Mexican people of Anaheim. The resolution follows: Be it the sense of this meeting that we recommend to the directors of the chamber of commerce that an effort be made to colonize the Mexican citizenship of Anaheim. That we further recommended that for the best interests of our Mexican citizens that this colony be located at the earliest time possible. That our school board in so far as possible erect school buildings that will be suitable, not only for school purposes but for community development as well. That we recommend to our city trustees that supervision of this colony be such as will render this Mexican settlement water, light, gas, sewage and every convenience to which a settlement of this kind is entitled. This meeting was held under the auspices of the forum committee of the Chamber of Commerce, A. B. McCord being the chairman, W. H. Schureman, H. E. W. Barnes and Dr. H. D. Nowkirk being the other members. Stanton Notes (By M. RILEY) Mrs. E. W. Stran gave a home party Sunday in honor of her son Clyde, who is to bring 15 cents to 16 cents a pound. Fancy Californians is not very great. The average production of California chilies is four to five tons to the acre. Figuring on the basis of acreage, yields and prices for both the canning and drying quota, the total return to growers will be around $150,000 gross. It is estimated that the canned output of California chilies in Los Angeles and Long Beach plants will be 30,000 to 40,000 cases. The bulk of the crop is canned in Los Angeles. And now for pimientos. This crop is contracted for by canneries early in the season. Prices to growers this year are $40 to $45 per ton, mostly $40. The Georgia crop will be almost negligible this year, but local packers set their prices early in the spring of 1925 and will not benefit by the shortage, although the cost of production and plant operation in this industry merits higher returns. The 1925 pack is forecast at 60,000 to 75,000 cases, 100 cans to the case. Of the basis of a 2000-acre planting, with an average yield of five tons to the acre, the pimiento growers will receive a gross of about $400,000 for their crop. Summing up returns to the district for peppers grown for manufacturing purposes, we find that pepper growers are to receive more than $800,000 gross for their crops. Although the growing of chilies and pimientos in Orange county has been crowded to the lowland by the expansion of the Valencia orange industry, growers are taking steps to make their industry a stable one through advanced cultural methods. On the Knapp place, test plots are being maintained to secure disease resistant varieties. New methods of fertilization are being tried out with success, and water use is being studied carefully. As the condiment manufacturers of the nation are largely dependent on Orange county dried chilies, and the local pimiento canners supply most markets with their product, the industry is not only one of the most unique in Southern California, but one of its most stable and lucrative truck crop activities. If M. Caillaux wants to know how interested he is with these products... Stanton Notes (By M. RILEY) Mrs. E. W. Stran gave a home party Sunday in honor of her son Clyde, who is on the U. S. S. Savannah which is stationed at San Diego. Those present were: L. P. Stran, wife and two little boys; Miss Esther Kisser, H. D. Stran and W. L. Stran of Los Angeles; B. F. Wright, wife and son Lane of Long Beach; Miss Dorothy Rollston from Orange, and the host and hostess, Mr. and Mrs. E. W. Stran and granddaughter, Corinne. Mr. Herman Beamer of Taft was visiting his brother, Mr. J. Beamer and family over Sunday. He is employed by an oil company. While enroute here he had the misfortune to be stopped on a grade near Santa Barbara and was relieved of his purse and $50 in cash, and some valuable papers. No clue to the hold-up man was found. Mrs. L. Guess of Dale avenue was a Los Angeles visitor Sunday. Mrs. Hattie Andres, daughter Betty Jane, Mrs. Lloyd Powell and Mr. Powell of Pomona, were visiting at the D. W. Powell home Wednesday. Mr. and Mrs. E. Miles, Mr. and Mrs. Ray Long and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Art Lindley and children, and Mr. Lindley's father and mother, attended the Southern California Fair at Riverside and report that they enjoyed it very much. The ranchers are all smiling about the rain—just need some more. Mrs. E. Long of Hill street, has been very ill but is out again, which will be very welcome news to her many friends. Mr. A. Lindley of Dale has his father and mother from Illinois making an extended visit with him. They are greatly pleased with our California climate. Miss Ruby Lord was a Santa Ana visitor Tuesday.

Everyone In Favor Of Merchant Marine When Congress convened in December one of the first questions which will become a live topic will be our American merchant marine, and a number of plans probably will be offered for its perpetuation. There is little doubt, according to political observers here, that the vast majority of the American people want merchant marine retained. As one advocate recently put it, "the people have not forgotten how the aliens, with their backs to the wall, cried out for ships, ships and more ships, and how it was the hastily constructed shipping built in the United States which helped eventually turn the title of submarine warfare. They know that a continuance of our marine means safety in time of war, and prosperity in time of peace." Early in the history of the American republic, there was a time when the American flag was seen flying proudly in every port. In fact, in 1850, seventy-two per cent of our exports and imports were carried under the American flag. Then came the Civil War and the crippling of our merchant marine, together with loss of interest in the subject. Conditions gradually grew worse until in 1914 only nine per cent of our merchandise was being carried in American ships. Some advocates favor government operation of ships, others a ship subsidy and others the application of our tariff protection policy to American ships. Whatever plan is pursued, it is evident that the public will insist on constructive measures for the continuance of our merchant marine, and it is fortunate that this is in line with the policy of our national administration. © 1925 Hart Schaffner & Marx THE BRAND Popular New Colors in Hart Schaffner THEY were originated for Hart Schaffner's sensation there now.
