FARM BUREAU NOTES Farmers Convene to Discuss State Policies By A. M. Stauley, Secretary-Manager Orange County Farm Bureau Delegates from 42 California counties will convene at Hotel Stewart, San Francisco, today (Wednesday) in the sixth annual state meeting of the California Farm Bureau Federation. In addition to hearing reports of the farm bureau activities throughout the nation, the delegates will establish the policies which the organization will pursue in the future. One of the problems that will be called to the farmers' attention is the burning question of the state highway policies. Many people interested in this matter maintain the present policy smells of pork barrel politics. As a remedy it has been suggested that a policy should be adopted by the highway commission which would require the county or contiguous territory to show more than a mere demand for state highway construction. Working under the theory that "God helps those who help themselves," several state leaders declare that the state should not spread concrete, except where the most interested property owners provided a solid foundation. This would naturally resolve into a policy of the counties doing the grading while the state did the paving. Such a policy would be hard on the mountain counties, but would give a greater service to those who pay most. The question of taxation and equalization will also be an issue before the convention. This is a subject that will be a bone of contention in state economic circles during the next few years. For some months past and before the bitter agitation began, the state bureau has performed some minor investigation in regards to the taxation system of California. It is probable that an effort to create a fund to complete this study will be made at the convention. School to Be Held for Truck Crop Growers Final program for the first annual truck crop growers' school has just been completed by representatives of the extension service of Los Angeles and Orange counties. This school, the first of its kind ever attempted in Southern California, is being put on by the agricultural extension service and farm bureaues of Los Angeles and Orange counties, co-operating with the United States Department of Agriculture, the division of truck crops, University of California and the State Department of Agriculture. The school will be held in the auditorium of the Buena Park grammar school. November 16, 17 and 18, 1925. The program in detail is as follows: Monday, November 16 1:00-1:25 Introduction—R.

Persimmon Growers Hold Convention The third annual field day for persimmon growers of Southern California has been set for Saturday, November 7, at the Tustin high school auditorium, according to announcement from the farm advisor's office. The morning session will embrace a number of important discussions on the packing and marketing of persimmons. Prof. H. E. Erdman, head of the division of rural economics, University of California, has been secured by the persimmon growers' department of the farm bureau to discuss the need for better distribution and marketing methods in the persimmon industry. Professor Erdman is making a special trip from Berkeley to present constructive data on this important phase of the industry. Experiences in packing and shipping persimmons to the eastern markets will be presented by several local growers and shippers, including A. J. McFadden, Santa Ana, who is interested in one of the largest persimmon plantings in California; George W. Sherwood, Fullerton, chairman of the persimmon growers' department, and also one of the largest growers and shippers in the northern part of the county. George B. Shattuck, manager of the Golden West Citrus Association, will report on the results from last year's cold storage. Growers attending the meeting have been invited to bring specimens of fruit, featuring different varieties. A display of nursery stock will also be given by local nurserymen. The program committee announces a delightful luncheon to be provided by the Tustin high school cafeteria. The luncheon will feature different ways in which persimmons may be used on the table, including salads and desserts.

All growers interested in persimmon planting and marketing are invited to participate in the day's sessions. Experiment Station Treating Scaly Bark The three orchards carrying on scaly bark treatment experiments in cooperation with the citrus experiment station and the local agricultural extension service are being treated this week by Dr. H. S. Fawcett, well known pathologist of the station, assisted by the farm advisor. The preventive treatments that are being used include the creosols compound, carbolineum and mecuric cyanide. The purpose of these experimental plots is to determine if protective treatments can be used to prevent new infections of the scaly bark disease. It is planned to carry these experiments on for a period of three to four years. The local co-operators are William Cheney, Tustin; Charles Henry, Garden Grove, and Dr. C. B. Walsworth, Orange.

Results of Drainage Shown by Exhibits To show the results of drainage and alkal reclamation in the Newhope drainage district, B. F. Crutchfield, one of the district directors, brought to the farm advisor's office in Santa Ana some very interesting specimens of crops grown on land which had not produced a crop in over 10 years. These exhibits consist of a stalk of corn about six foot in height and having on it two large, well developed ears, and a vine of blackeye beans. This latter vine is very large and covered with long, well filled pods. Considering the fact that the aforementioned drainage system has been in operation less than two years, this is a very wonderful showing and only goes to demonstrate what can be done with water-logged or near water-logged land when properly handled. Providing there is an outlet furnished for surplus water in the soil and providing also that the injurious salts are in a water soluble form, then very excellent work can be done in the way of correcting those adverse conditions, such as were present in some parts of the Newhope district.
