Farm Demonstration Train in Santa Ana Poultry, Dairy and Hog Special By H. E. WAHLBERG, County Farm Advisor An agricultural college on wheels will reach Orange County Friday, January 22nd. The University of California, the Farm Bureau, and the Agricultural Extension Service, and the Santa Fe Railroad are cooperating to bring the best when the new growth starts in the spring and before the flowers open, and after pruning and trellising have been done. Great care should be taken to cover the stems and buds when spraying. "Later spring sprays of either 4 percent lime-sulphur or of wettable sulphur, applied when the vines are in full bloom, are nearly as effective as the dormant sprays. The usual strength of wettable sulphur spray is five pounds of wettable sulphur to one hundred gallons of water. In cases of severe infestations, eight pounds of the wettable sulphur may be used. Summer spraying if done when the berries are still green, may result in checking the work of the mites and thus allow some of the berries to mature normally. Late fall spraying is often too late to affect the crop of the same year but will destroy many of the mites and thus help to control the pest the next season. Summer or fall spraying, followed by dormant spring spraying, will insure complete protection." This bulletin may be obtained from the farm advisor's office, 110 Hall of Records, Santa Ana. Forestry Expert Is Appointed Of special interest to Orange County is the announcement by the Agricultural Extension Service of the University of California, of the appointment of an Extension Specialist in Forestry. Professor Woodbridge Metcalf, well-known in forestry circles throughout California, and thoroughly conversant with western problems, was named to fill the position. Metcalf's activities will bring him into frequent contact with this county in matters of reforestation, protection and windbreak studies. In cooperation with the Farm Bureau, Farm Advisor's office and the Southern California Conservation Association, Metcalf will lend assistance in this all important work of conserving and protecting watersheds. The windbreak survey conducted by the farm advisor's office this year will be directed to Mr. Metcalf's attention. Farm Demonstration Train in Santa Ana Poultry, Dairy and Hog Special By H. E. WAHLBERG, County Farm Advisor An agricultural college on wheels will reach Orange County Friday, January 22nd. The University of California, the Farm Bureau, and the Agricultural Extension Service, and the Santa Fe Railroad are cooperating to bring the best information on animal husbandry to the county. Special attention will be given to the problems of the poultry, the dairymen and the swine growers. The keynote of the demonstration train will be quality production and diversification. The speaking program for the day will be conducted by authoritative instructors from the College of Agriculture and the Extension Service. The train will bring a splendid array of livestock and poultry exhibits, made up of some of the best animals in Southern California, including Holstein, Jersey, Guernsey and Ayrshire cattle, illustrating the different breeds. The poultry exhibit will include outstanding individuals among the White Legion and Rhode Island Red breeds. A modern poultry house, university type, will accompany the exhibit. The stock show will also include good types of Duroc-Jersey, Poland China, Berkshire and Hampshire hogs. A special invitation is extended to all farmers and others interested in the production of poultry, dairy and hog products. Santa Ana has been selected by the committee in charge as the location for the traveling institute. The train will be parked at the Santu Fe depot. The program for the day will be as follows: 10:00—10:30 Selecting the Dairy Bull and Breeding. 10:30—11:00 Dairy Cow Demonstration. 11:00—11:30 Economical, Feeding of Dairy Cows. 11:30—12:00 Poultry Housing and Feeding. 1:30—2:00 Brooding Young Chicks. 2:00—2:30 Poultry Diseases and Culling. 2:30—8:00 Pork Feeding and Management. 3:00—3:30 Profitable Production of Pork by Better Breeding. Plenty of time will be arranged for a thorough discussion of each of the subjects presented. This method of disseminating information from the university, although not new, is being tried again from an experimental standpoint, and if found successful this year, may be continued as an annual event. Response on the part of the local growers will decide whether this activity will continue in the future for Orange County. Prominent Speakers Among the specialists who will present subject matter in this traveling course will be G. E. Gordon, Dairy Husbandry, E. C. Voorhies, Dairy Husbandry, John Q. McDonald, Dairy Husbandry, W. E. Newlon, Poultry Husbandry, C. H. Hughes, Swine Husbandry, and J. E. Wherrell, President Riveride Coun Blackberry Mite The redberry disease of the Himalaya blackberry, according to Professor E. O. Essig of the College of Agriculture, University of California, is due to the blackberry mite, a minute organism not visible to the naked eye. In Bulletin 399, just published and free to all who apply for it, Professor Essig describes the mite and its control. The mite enters the blossom and interferes with the development of the berries, which never get beyond the red stage of ripening. No other blackberries, dewberries or raspberries are affected by the insect. A number of commercial plantings and backyard patches have been ruined by this obscure mite, says Professor Essig. As Himalaya berries are planted mostly in the coast counties, the disease is for the most part confined to that region. The most satisfactory results in control," says Professor Essig, "are obtained by the application of dormant or early spring sprays to kill the hibernating forms before they gain entrance into the flowers or berries. These sprays consist of commercial lime-sulphur in strengths of from 4 to 8 percent, or corresponding strengths of dry. Apparently the 4 percent solution is as satisfactory as the stronger, if the spray is properly applied. The improved, highly refined lubricating oil emulsions also are satisfactory. Applications should be made..." Puzzle No. 36 Buried Geography. Can you discover what towns are hidden? 1. They marched in Burghers' dress to the courts of Justice. 2.

There will also be a number of well known California beekeepers on the program, speaking on the marketing of honey, the cost of honey production, migratory beekeeping, selling bees by the pound and other important subjects. The California State Beekeepers' Association is to meet in connection with both of the short course sessions. Tractor School The Fifth Annual Tractor School, held under the auspices of the Agricultural Extension Service, is now in session at the machine shops of the Anaheim Union High School, according to statement issued from the Farm Advisor's office. The school opened Monday morning for six days run, the sessions beginning at eight o'clock in the morning and continuing through the day until about 4:30. The school is open to all tractor owners or those interested in tractor management, particularly those who desire to secure instruction on practical methods of tractor upkeep and overhauling that can be done on the farm. Such things as magneto repair, trouble shooting, electrical wiring, ignition, valve lining and other phases of tractor management will be fully covered by practical instruction from three specialists of the Division of Agricultural Engineering and Extension College of Agriculture. Five old tractors have been brought to the school by tractor owners, including two Fordson, one MacCormick Deering, and two Cleetracs. There will be thoroughly overhauled during the week by the owners, under close supervision of the specialists. Those who do not have tractors at the school will be given an opportunity to assist in this work, in order that they may also secure the valuable instruction. Four new tractors have been loaned to the school by local Orange County tractor dealers. Among them are a Fordson loaned by Sid McGraw, Anaheim; a McCormick Deering from M. Elkiste & Son Co. of Orange, one Cleetrac from John L. Waecker of Santa Ana and a John Deere tractor loaned by J. R. Garin Co. of Fullerton. These tractors have been made available to study and dismantle by the local tractor firms who have always whole-heartedly cooperated with the Extension Service in all the tractor schools that have been held in the past. Registration for the school is still open, according to W. M. Cory, assistant farm advisor, who has immediate charge of this activity. Growers who were not able to register the first day or two are still eligible to receive instruction during the balance of the week's course. An added feature of the school will be an evening session on Wednesday, January 20th, at the Anaheim High School, 7:30 p.m., when Prof. L. J. Fletcher of the university farm, Davis, will discuss "The Development of Farm Power." This lecture will be illustrated with three motion picture reels. Prof. Fletcher is head of the Division of Agricultural Engineering at the university farm, and has made an exhaustive study of farm machinery and power on the California farm. He is considered one of the best authorities on farm machinery in the state and will have an especially valuable message to give to the farmers of Orange County, no matter what type of power they may be interested in, whether mechanical or animal. Inyo Still Fighting Inyo County farmers are again opposing water developments conducted by the city of Los Angeles in that section, according to a resolution that has been submitted to the Orange County Farm Bureau. The Inyo County Farm Bureau members maintain that the city of Los Angeles is sinking a line of wells on lands they have purchased adjacent to ranches owned by Inyo farmers. From past experiences it has been proven that these deep wells have drawn water down through the gravelly subsolilit it was impossible to raise anything on the adjacent ranches. This condition naturally depreciates the value of the land and Inyo farmers are acting on the assumption that the city of Los Angeles is prosecuting a scheme to drain water...
