FARM BUREAU NOTES County Poultry Show At Garden Grove Soon It's going to be impossible to secure complimentary tickets to the Orange County Poultry Show held at Garden Grove, December 3, 4 and 5. The reason is because they are not charging any admission fee. One of the purposes of holding the show is to advertise the Garden Grove section as a potential poultry center. All people of Southern California will be the guests of that thriving little city during the dates of the show. In fact, they are very anxious to have a large attendance and not only have they made it admission free, but the management is offering a prize of $10 to the farm center which will have the largest attendance during the show, according to the roster which will be kept at the entrance. The cost of producing the show is being met by popular donations and the sale of advertising space. Already the committee has met with very favorable success along these lines, and the big M. O. D. packing house which will house the show will be well filled. Already 200 entries of utility poultry have been received at the regular entry price of 25c per bird, and arrangements are being made to hold a pedigree cockerel auction sale on Saturday afternoon, the closing day of the show. In response to the popular demand, a rabbit exhibit will be added and the services of C. S. Gibson has been secured to judge these entries. Mr. Gibson is a judge recognized by the National Rabbit Breeders' Association and, as it is necessary to have rabbits judged by a judge with such credentials before they can be registered, this affords the Orange county rabbit breeders an opportunity they have been seeking. It is planned to hold a country store every evening of the show and to provide popular entertainment. The following this meeting, a series of meetings have been held in each center and arrangements made for the local campaign. As a method of reporting to the members the vast amount of work which the organization has accomplished during the past year, a neatly printed 12-page leaflet has been issued by the general membership committee and is being circulated now. This booklet gives statistics regarding the organizations, 21 accomplishments of the local farm bureau, 19 items of completed projects of the state organization, and 13 accomplishments of the American Farm Bureau Federation. The report is called the Farm Bureau Crop Report, and is concluded by six projects which the farm bureau now has under course of completion, showing the need of the continuance of the organization. Membership in the farm bureau is acquired by the payment of a $5 membership fee annually, which includes the membership of both husband and wife. The quota set for the 1928 campaign is 2000 paid memberships, which if successfully attained will mean an actual membership of approximately 4000 for the local farm bureau. Avocado Growers To Have Field Day Rain or Shine—November 28 Rain will not prevent the avocado enthusiasts from meeting next Saturday, November 28, at La Habra. According to word from the farm advisor's office, the local avocado committee of the La Habra farm center has made arrangements to take care of the crowd—rain or shine. In case of rain, the field trip will not be held, but the talks by specialists and leading growers will be given at the community hall, just after the avocado luncheon served by the La Habra women at noon. An exhibit of avocado varieties will In response to the popular demand, a rabbit exhibit will be added and the services of C. S. Gibson has been secured to judge these entries.

It is planned to hold a country store every evening of the show and to provide popular entertainment. The after-noons will be devoted to talks on poultry breeding, rabbit farming and the auction sale. Other features of the show will be announced later. The preliminary plans for the membership campaign of the Orange County Farm Bureau are nearing completion. The active campaign for the solicitation of new members and the collection of dues from the present members will be conducted throughout the entire county from December 1 to 5. A meeting of the general membership committee, which consisted of five representatives from each of the 14 farm centers in the county, was held at Santa Ana, November 19. This meeting, which followed a banquet, was in the nature of a solicitors' school and not only were the plans discussed, but instructions and farm bureau information was given the committees.

An exhibit of avocado varieties will be on display during the morning in the auditorium of the Methodist Episcopal church. The field trip will include stops at representative plantings to observe and study important phases of field management, such as terracing, contour and furrow irrigation, overhead irrigation, tree bracing, bud selection, variety inter-planting, etc. The following program is announced: 10:00 a.m. — Avocado variety exhibit, auditorium of Methodist Episcopal church. 12:00 noon — Avocado luncheon (60c) community hall, served by Ladies' Aid Society. 1:30 p.m. — Educational field tour, directed by H.

Ask Our Driver About Our New American Union 808 North Los Angeles St Anaheim Phone 159-9 OBSERVATIONS BY A CONTRIBUTOR JAM Two local booster locks horns the other day about the crowd that was here on Armistict Day. "Look here, Bill," said one. "I clocked the bunch at 60,000." "Well, Jim, you are a poor judge of humanity," replied the other. "I'll bet my last shirt that there was not one less than 70,000 strangers within our gates on that memorable day." At last accounts both went up street trying to think of a word of three letters that represented a large outpouring of happy people. RAISING THE EDGE Up in Canada it is related that the "four point" beer recently let loose does not draw well among the brass rail brigade, and promoters are seeking a raise in the percentage under the froth. WHO'S NEXT! Barber down in Kentucky, with conscientious scruples, announces that he is opposed to hair bobbing among women and will accept no patronage from the "weaker sex." The barber, who is deeply religious, says implied ignominy attaches to "shaved" or shorn women, and further that long hair "is a glory to her." SAVE THE WATER The harnessing of the Colorado river seems to hinge on whether the flood control, with its attendant power development and water for domestic use in the lower basin states, is greater than the need of the water for irrigation of Arizona's arid lands in time to come. People who profess to know say that there is ample water for all these purposes. Conservation of flood water is the most important question confronting the people of the West. In this immediate section it is paramount and should be given earnest attention by our citizens. There has been three years of small rainfall here, and well water is lowering in many sections. The only thing to even up matters is for bountiful rains this year, at least 20 inches being needed to restore the underground supply. THE SEPARATION PROCESS Things are high in Miami and prices are soaring every day. They call it the Magic City. There are men with bankrolls down there, and they wear knee pants and checkered socks; but have no use for a hat. If you show up late at a hotel and want a room for the night, it costs you $15. People less fastidious have their own tents and use newspapers for sheets, and they carry umbrellas because it rains at intervals almost every day. Sometimes the rain-drops are as large as hen eggs. A weak beef stew costs 60 cents, and if a fellow craves chicken, or anything like that, it's $5. Barbers charge six bits for a hair cut and 35 cents for a shave, and a bath costs 50 cents—if you need one, Pints are $3 and single hoats 50 cents. A writer warns people to keep away from Miami for the present at least, for the bogie man will catch you if you don't watch out. PIGS IS PIGS Ambitious men have taken up hog raising in some of the desert lands where water is available and alfalfa can be grown. And it is said the meat is superior to that produced under conditions where hogs are raised amid less clean and sanitary surroundings. When you pay 15 cents for two small strips of bacon in a restaurant, it would seem hog raising should be profitable.

BEWARE OF BOOMS TO SHOW the ill effects of a boom in real estate, it may be related that when Southern California went through an unusual inflation of land values, 30 years ago, a resident of Orangethorpe traded 20 acres of good farming land there for a house and lot in Santa Ana, upon which was a $4000 mortgage. Country values necessarily were low, while city property was high. When the boom burst, the rancher was hard pressed to hold his city lot and house weighted down with the mortgage. Unable to meet his obligation, he lost the city property together with his 20 acres of farming land, and was kept jumping to avoid judgments against the remainder of his holdings. Some people made money who let loose before the crash came, but many were caught in the rift tide of frenzied finance and were dashed to pieces upon the financial rocks. Since then all of Southern California has been going steadily forward on a good substantial basis, but the real estate nightmare of those days boops up every now and then as a reminder that booms are like a two-edged dagger cutting both ways. This is the season when the American turkey gets it in the neck and he can't even appeal to the world court.
