FARM BUREAU NOTES Growers To Discuss Moth Control Measures By A. M. STANLEY Secretary-Manager Orange County Farm Bureau Viewing with alarm the rapid encroachment of the walnut codling moth upon the profits of the growers, the officials of the West Orange Farm Center have determined to devote their meeting at the Orange Intermediate school on North Glassell street, Orange, next Friday night, December 11th, to the purpose of developing ways and means of combating the pest. Codling moths are present in practically all groves to greater or less extent, but never before have they been so numerous locally as to be considered a serious menace. The control of the moth is comparatively simple in most climates where a spray applied during the two hatching periods of the year, rids the orchards of the pests. In the warm, even climate of Orange county the moth has no stated hatching period so it is believed that several applications of spray will be necessary to form an effective control. These problems will be brought to the attention of the growers at the meeting Friday night. The meeting will be called to order at 7:30 and, following a brief business session, the question of codling moth control will be discussed. J. A. Smiley has prepared two charts which he will show to illustrate the percentage of infestation in the West Orange District and the loss the worms have caused the walnut industry. He will be followed by Mr. Flanders of the Salicyl walnut district, who will relate what has been done in that section and the results obtained. Mr. H. C. Sharp of the Inspection Department of the California Walnut Growers Association, will discuss the remainder of the storage period. Providing growers would equip themselves, either individually or in groups, with proper storage facilities, then there would be less chance of an annual slump in the price of sweets and by spreading their sale period over the greater part of the year, the chance of a profit should be enhanced. The demand for sweet potatoes is not seasonal and they will be eaten as extensively in the spring as in the fall, providing the consumer gets a good product at a reasonable price. Spray Calendar For Peach Trees First Application—In the fall immediately following early rains spray with Bordeaux mixture 4-4-50 (home-made) or lime sulphur (1 in 10) for control of peach blight, which spots and kills new wood and buds during the winter. Second Application—In late winter, as buds begin to show pink, spray with lime sulphur, one gallon of concentrate to nine gallons of water, for control of peach twig-borer, scale insects, leaf curl, peach blight, brown rot, moss and lichens. For serious infestations of peach twig-borer ("peach worm") add three pounds of basic arsenate of lead powder to 100 gallons. Bordeaux mixture 5-5-50 (home-made) may be used in the place of lime sulphur for the control of leaf curl, peach blight and brown rot, and basic arsenate of lead should be added for the peach twig-borer. Third Application—If red spider becomes prevalent during the summer, spray with one of the sulphur sprays, using two gallons of liquid lime sulphur solution or four pounds of soluble sulphur (godium sulphur) or 8 pounds of dry lime sulphur, to 200 gallons of water. If desired one of the proprietary Friday night. The meeting will be called to order at 7:30 and, following a brief business session, the question of codling moth control will be discussed. J. A. Smiley has prepared two charts which he will show to illustrate the percentage of infestation in the West Orange District and the loss the worms have caused the walnut industry. He will be followed by Mr. Flanders of the Salicyl walnut district, who will relate what has been done in that section and the results obtained. Mr. H. C. Sharp of the Inspection Department of the California Walnut Growers Association, will discuss the affect walnut worms have in relation to the trade. A. A. Brock, County Horticultural Commissioner, is down on the program to state what his office can do, and is doing in regards to the infestation. He will also give information relative to the formation of a control district. He will be followed by Farm Advisor H. E. Wahlberg who will discuss the treatment of trays used in control methods. It is hoped that as a result of this meeting steps will be taken to organize a codling moth control district. It is a matter of such vast importance to the industry and the county as well, that an urgent invitation is extended to the public to attend this meeting. The local walnut marketing associations are cooperating with the center in this matter and have expressed an earnest desire for all of their members to be present. Tractor Repair School By W. M. CORY Assistant Farm Advisor Instruction will be given in maintenance and repair. Methods of determining and correcting power loss will be shown.

Storage House For Sweet Potatoes By RAYMOND ELLIS Assistant Farm Advisor Each fall and winter when the main crop of sweet potatoes is being harvested, the price generally slumps, due of course, to the quantity of sweets being thrown on the market at the same time. Having no facilities for storage, naturally the growers must sell very soon after digging or lose a considerable portion of the crop through decay and shrinkage. Some of them cover the po- Matters Discussed at Directors Meeting The directors of the Orange County Farm Bureau spent the forenoon of their all day meeting Thursday, December 3rd, in listening to reports of the various departments and cooperators, and checking up on the accomplishments. Among the interesting statements made during these reports appears the fact that the beekeepers are arranging to hold a two-day extension course, under the auspices of the United States Department of Agriculture, in Santa Ana during January. At this meeting there will be specialists from all over the United States to discuss beekeeping problems. The Dairy Department has been quite active during the month and while it has been necessary to discontinue cowtesting they have entertained the California Dairy Council during the month and are now busy on the creation of an ordinance to control the sale of T. B. cattle. Reports from the Farm Center directors showed that the membership drive is progressing nicely and the members are receiving good response. During the afternoon W. S. Roseans, vice-president of the California Farm Bureau Federation, appeared before the directors and explained the need of creating a department for the study of taxation problems. In order to make this work effective it is necessary to amend the constitution of the state federation increasing the per capita dues 50 cents per member to finance Storage House For Sweet Potatoes By RAYMOND ELLIS Assistant Farm Advisor Each fall and winter when the main crop of sweet potatoes is being harvested, the price generally slumps, due to course, to the quantity of sweets being thrown on the market at the same time. Having no facilities for storage, naturally the growers must sell very soon after digging or lose a considerable portion of the crop through decay and shrinkage. Some of them cover the potatoes with hay or vines and try to hold them that way, and succeed to a certain extent, but naturally the period of safety is short under that system. Some also use cellar storage, but this system, too, has been unsatisfactory; due mostly to the lack of facilities to control the temperature and moisture conditions in the cellar. The inferior quality of cellar stock as compared to the store house potatoes, is borne out by statements from the San Francisco markets. The sweet potato storage house should be built above ground entirely, so that it can be ventilated easily. The house should be set up on pillars so as to be level with a wagon bed. In order that loading and unloading may be facilitated. The house may be of brick, concrete, stone or wood, preferably the latter because of cheapness and the greater ease with which moisture conditions may be controlled. Double walls, with ventilators and doors which fit snugly, also help in the control of moisture and temperature. Arrangements should also be made for heating the house either with coal, wood or kerosene stoves, or in the case of a large commercial house, steam pipes may be used. In case blinds are to be used, they should be about five feet deep, not over ten feet long and equipped with a false slat bottom which will allow for a free circulation of air. When the sweets have been placed in the storage house, they should first be cured by sweating at a temperature of approximately 85 degrees fahrenheit for about two weeks. During this process ventilators should be kept open so that excess moisture will not collect on the potatoes. When the skins have become toughened and cuts and wounds have sealed over, the temperature should be reduced to approximately 55 degrees fahrenheit and the humidity held at about 65 per cent, and these conditions maintained as nearly as possible for the During the afternoon W. S. Rosecrans, vice-president of the California Farm Bureau Federation, appeared before the directors and explained the need of creating a department for the study of taxation problems. In order to make this work effective it is necessary to amend the constitution of the state federation increasing the per capita dues 50 cents per member to finance the undertaking. This amendment has been passed by the directors but it remained for the counties to ratify before it became effective. Following a lengthy discussion it was moved by the directors that they ratify the change in the constitution and as this matter increases the expenses of the local bureau around a thousand dollars a year a ways and means committee of five was appointed for the purpose of developing some method of increasing Farm Bureau finances. Several directors stated that it seemed to be necessary to increase the Farm Bureau dues to $10 per member per year and it is possible that this action will be taken to be effective in 1927. Mr. Lake, president of the fair association, came before the meeting with a strong plea that the directors of the Farm Bureau support the fair better than they had in the past. It was stated that nearly half of the directors have not signed the guarantee and were not therefore members of the fair association. No definite action was taken in this matter. The directors took steps to become members of the Boulder Dam association for the purpose of supporting the work of building the Boulder Dam and the All-American Canal, and they also authorized Francis Cattle and H. S. Ryerson of the Southern California Conservation association, and E. B. Reid, Washington counsel of the American Farm Bureau federation, to represent them before congress to promote the passage of the "Million Dollar Bill" for forest conservation. The attention of the directors was called to the large amount of petit stealing that is being perpetrated upon the farmers of Orange county and a committee was appointed to formulate some method of effective control. It was stated that the Poultry Department ANAHEIM GAZETTE has been endeavoring to solve this problem for some time, in regards to chicken stealing but as yet had not been successful in making much headway. The request that the Farm Bureau elect a woman delegate to represent the women of the county at the Regional meetings of the Farm Bureau was laid on the table until such time as the women form a home department within the county and demand such representation. Each director is requested to call this matter to the attention of their respective centers. A great deal of other new business transpired at the meeting and was discussed at some length. The directors were busy until 5 o'clock. Elks Charity Program (Continued from Page One) cheerful. Comforts—that's what they want and need—and it's up to the citizens of this community to see that they get it. This is only an appeal, not a demand, but we know that you will feel as we do after you know and realize the fact that there are many who are in need right here in our own community." The Elks social and community welfare committee wants everybody to help. Store rooms have been arranged for in communities which come under the jurisdiction of the Anaheim Elks lodge and they will see that the clothing is properly distributed. What can't be used will be made over so it can be used. Mr. Riley urges every man, woman and child to start hunting through his or her home. FALKENSTEIN ANAHEIM, CALIF.
