FARM BUREAU NOTES Growing Sweet Potato Plants By RAYMOND ELLIS, Assistant Farm Advisor The sweet potato is usually propagated by means of plants produced from other potatoes. The potato itself is a thickened root, on which is found four rows of fibrous feeding roots. These feeder roots disappear and from the resultant scars come sprouts which form the plants, used in the next crop. Usually growers use small potatoes for seed, but large ones can be used providing they are split and bedded with the flat or cut side down. The cutting operation isn't necessary in order to produce a plant, but is necessary in order to produce a sufficient number of plants from a certain amount of seed. The bed for growing sweet potato plants is usually heated with fresh manure or in this county bean straw is often used, and found to be very satisfactory. The bed should be located in a sunny, well drained place and protected from winds. The bed is generally about eight feet wide and is dug out to a depth of 18 inches. Several days before the potatoes are bedded this trench should be filled with manure or bean straw and this material packed in and covered with about three inches of sand. The seed potatoes are then placed very close together on this sand and are covered with another three inches of it. Sand is the best material to use for this work as it is generally free from any plant diseases, does not crust or bake, allows fibrous roots to develop more readily and also permits of easier pulling of the young plants. It isn't necessary to have plant food in the soil covering as the young shoot gets its nourishment from the parent seed. There are other types of hot beds which can be used, and are to some extent in districts where heating material such as manure or bean straw are not available. These are constructed with a pit beneath the bed which holds a furrow. Retailers Must Segregate Eggs By A. M. STANLEY, Secretary-Manager Orange County Farm Bureau The refusal of a local merchant to receive eggs directly from a producer under the impression that he could not legally receive the eggs has called attention to a regulation which was issued by the State Board of Health and became effective October 15, 1925. Most producers, realizing that they receive a better price for their eggs by grading them have usually done so, and the provisions of the regulation have not been invoked heretofore. The regulation which was made by the State Board of Health in pursuance to the authority granted them by the amendments to the "Cold Storage Act" made during the last session of the Legislature, provides that retailers are required to segregate eggs according to size and quality grades and advise the consumer as to the class offered for sale. Where the retailer buys the eggs from the individual producer he may insist that this segregation be made by the producer, but where the producer fails to do so, the retailer must undertake such segregation himself before offering them to the consumer. There is nothing in the regulation which prohibits the retailer from buying his supply of eggs from whom he wishes and his insistence upon the eggs being segregated rests entirely upon the policy he establishes for his store. This regulation sums up that the egg producer may sell his eggs directly to the retailer without grading or segregation if the retailer wishes to buy them, but this privilege is denied the egg distributor or jobber. The apparent discrimination may be accounted for by the assumption that the egg producer would not be likely to handle cold storage eggs while the distributor would probably handle all grades of eggs. The pertinent provisions of the regulations seem Hundreds to Attend Walnut Institute The Eighth Annual Walnut Institute under auspices of the Southern Counties Farm Bureau and the Agricultural Extension Service, will be held at Santa Paula on February 20th. Under John P. Thille, prominent Ventura county walnut grower, and Farm Advisor V. F. Blanchard, arrangements have been completed for the meeting to be held at the Santa Paula High School, beginning at 10 a.m. Previous institutes have attracted walnut growers from all parts of the south and in order to bring the affair to the attention of all growers, the California Walnut Growers Association is cooperating by circularizing its entire membership of the affair. The Orange County Farm Bureau Walnut Department and Extension Service urges a good attendance from this district. Topping the program is Dr. L. D. Batchelor, leading walnut authority on the coast, an da member of the Citrus Experiment Station staff at Riverside Batchelor's work in cooperation with the association is well known throughout the state, and during the past year, he traveled through the principal walnut-growing sections of Europe, making observations on walnut culture. He returns to California loaded with new information and with the aid of stereopticon slides, and movie reels, will lecture on the lessons to be learned by California from the European walnut industry. Other speakers include Prof. A. W. Christie, on dehydration and harvesting; W. B. Hooper, Extension Walnut Specialist, on better field practices, and J. B. Brown, Extension Irrigation Specialist, on irrigation principles. A message from growers will be given by T. H. Lambert of El Monte, stressing the grower's obligation to produce better walnuts. A. J. McFadden of Orange county, chairman of the Grade Revision Committee of the association, will lecture on the higher grade standards required by the marketing organi- Annual Citrus Institute Announcement is made by the Inter-County Citrus Growers Department of the Farm Bureau, cooperating with the Agricultural Extension Service, of the Annual Citrus Institute for Southern California to be held on Tuesday, February 23rd, at San Bernardino. This affair is held in conjunction with the National Orange Show in the same city, and a large attendance from all portions of the south is expected. Ample time on the program has been provided for discussion from the floor of the meeting, thus allowing growers to relate their own field experiences in the subjects scheduled for discussion. It is also planned to allow sufficient time for attendance at the Orange Show by those travelling to San Bernardo for the institute. The following program has been prepared: 10:00 10:20 A.M.-Overhead Irrigation New Publication On Bees Issued One of the latest publications of the College of Agriculture received by the office of the Farm Advisor, and available for free distribution, is circular No. 301, on "Buckeye Poisoning of the Honey Bee," by G. H. Vansell. Beekeepers who are interested in the problem can obtain copies of the circular by calling or writing to the County Advisor's office, 110 Hall of Records, Santa Ana. Divergent opinions are prevalent regarding the injurious effect of the buckeye bloom on bees. A study was undertaken in 1923, and while not completed yet, sufficient data is now available to give valuable information to beekeepers. It has been proven that buckeye bloom is definitely injurious to bees. The injury occurs during years when bees are forced to visit the buckeyes because of the scarcity of other blooms. Suggestions on how to avoid the buckeye are contained in the circular, together with a general discussion of the actual effects of buckeye poisoning. Sugar Beet Industry The sugar beet industry of California is declining, says Prof. R. L. Adams, of the College of Agriculture, in Circular No. 302, "The Sugar Beet in California." This circular is just off the press and free copies may be had at the County Farm Advisor's office, Hall of Records Santa Ana. Reasons for decline in the industry since 1923 are several. Insect and disease attacks are outstanding causes. Competition with more valuable crops has in many cases put the sugar beet out of the running, and the scarcity of labor has at times been a contributing factor. In spite of these limitations, California possesses satisfactory conditions of soil, moisture, climate, markets, and generally, of labor. Details regarding the best methods of culture and management are enumerated by Adams, and constructive suggestions are made on the disease and economic problems which have become prominent during the past five years.

Canadian Story on California Screen "The Ancient Highway," produced for the screen by Irvin Willa t from the story by James Oliver Cuwood will be shown at the West Coast California theatre, Anaheim, Friday and Saturday, Jack Holt, Billie Dove and Montague Love are the featured players in the picture which was adapted for the screen by James S.Hamilton and Eve Unsell. The story is a romance of high hearts and open roads—an outdoor picture of the most virile type. The picture gets its grace from the fact that most of the Automobile Notes California has just completed the greatest year for highways in its history, according to data assembled by the engineering department of the Automobile Club of Southern California. This situation is made more outstanding from the fact that pessimistic outcries came from all directions that California road building would come to a standstill because the plan was defeated to raise the gasoline tax one cent a gallon for new road construction. Throughout the state, taking city, county and state highway construction together, there was spent nearly $55,000,000 on development. Those who were fearful that the state was "broke," and would have nothing to spend on its roads, may take comfort in the report that shows nearly $17,000,000 was expended by the state on new roads, straightening, widening, bridging and improving. This huge sum of state moneys resulted from $6,868,945 in gasoline tax, $3,432,610 from licenses, and $6,760,406 in going contracts from the state highway fund, which includes federal aid, bond moneys, contributions from counties, and other sources. The amounts mentioned are not the entire sum paid for gasoline tax and licenses, but the net amounts accruing to the state from such sources of revenue. The cities spent approximately as much as the state on their new streets, alleys, and curbs They are credited with a total of $16,304,366 during 1925. The counties of the state spent in construction of new highways and bridges,$21,-616,340.Los Angeles city and county led all in the state with an expenditure by the city of$4,351,757 and$3,821,235 by the county Thus the year 1925, according to highway authorities, was the banner year in the history of the state in road improvement in the face of dire prophesies that failure to raise the gasoline tax meant a standstill in highway development. Any highway development program failing to provide for equitable distribution of improvement funds between the northern and southern part of the state will not be supported by the Automobile Club of Southern California, according to announcement by W.L.Valentine, president of the organization. This statement came following an attempt to enlist the aid of Southern California organizations in a plan emanating in northern California which is declared to be unfair, and promoted by time-worn political tricks designed to hoodwink taxpayers of this section.The decision of the big southern motoring The Buena Park Fire Department was called out Thursday evening to the Fogg ranch, where a bunk house was found to be on fire.

Jack Holt, Billie Dove and Montague Love are the featured players in the picture which was adapted for the screen by James S. Hamilton and Eve Unsell. The story is a romance of high hearts and open roads—an outdoor picture of the most virile type. The picture gets its name from the fact that most of the action takes place on a stream flowing through the quaint regions of Quebec. Some of the high spots include the hero (Holt) traveling all around the world to Canada to beat up the man who had killed his father; the result is a terrific screen fight; Holt racing down a raging torrent in a trail canoe ahead of a million logs. In love interest, action, thrills, and human interest, the picture is declared by critics who have viewed, to be unexcelled. In addition to the feature film there is a Mermaid comedy entitled "Fire Away," and an Aesop Fable, "The Hero Wins," on the bill. Five high class vaudeville acts will also be presented with this bill on Friday night only. WARNING BY TELEPHONE SAVES FARMER'S FAMILY Atelephone in the home of Woodall Robinson, a farmer residing in Queen Ann's county, Md., between Church Hill and Chestertown, recently was responsible for saving the lives of Robinson and his family. Robinson was awakened at 3 o'clock in the morning by ringing of the telephone bell. He hurried to the telephone and was told his house was on fire. Hurrying back to his room he awakened his wife and three children and they succeeded in making their way out of the building, clad only in their night clothes. Soon afterwards the farm house was in ruins. The creation of the United States was the most stupendous experiment ever attempted. Any highway development program failing to provide for equitable distribution of improvement funds between the northern and southern part of the state will not be supported by the Automobile Club of Southern California, according to announcement by W. L. Valentine, president of the organization. This statement came following an attempt to enlist the aid of Southern California organizations in a plan emanating in northern California which is declared to be unfair, and promoted by time-worn political tricks designed to hoodwink taxpayers of this section. The decision of the big southern motoring organization, it is announced, is the result of an extended and intensive investigation of the entire state highway system by qualified engineers. The findings, according to club officials, indicate clearly that the time has come when the state system should be taken out of politics and placed on an engineering and economic basis in both construction and financing. Suggestions looking toward this end soon will be offered to the public, it is said. Among the findings of the Automobile Club of Southern California, showing the necessity of more modern and more equitable methods, are included the following: Of the state highway system of 6,629 miles, Southern California has 2,508 or 37.8 per cent, and northern California has 4,141 or 62.2 per cent. Nearly 2600 miles of the highway system are yet to be built, thougth all funds provided by $73,000,000 in state bonds have been expended. Southern California has received $24,-$20,000 or 34 per cent of this amount, as compared with $48,180,000 or 66 per cent for the north. Interest and payments on these bonds will be met by collecting $36,500,000 or more from Southern California, and $36,-$500,000 or less from northern counties. Of $217,500,000 to be spent to complete the highway system, the south will receive $727,695,178 or 33 per cent, and the north $144,565,944 or 67 per cent. Northern California's proposal to obtain this money by taxing motor cars would cause Southern California to pay $123,600,000 or 57 per cent, and northern California, $93,310,000 or 43 per cent. License, registration and gasoline taxes have been spent with equal injus- WEST COAST CALIFORNIA Matinee—FRIDAY—Evening James Oliver Curwood's "THE ANCIENT HIGHWAY" With Jack Holt FIVE ACTS BIG TIME VAUDEVILLE DOUBLE BILL SATURDAY NIGHT 'THE ANCIENT HIGHWAY' And the revival of "ABRAHAM LINCOLN" SUN., MON., TUES.

Taft and Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, wives of three former presidents, according to information received by the local chairman of Red Cross chapter. This is the first time in the history of the United States the wives of the president and vice-president together with the wives of three former presidents have become officers of the same organization. Mrs. Coolidge and Mrs. Dawes, together with the wives of the former presidents, in their letters of acceptance to Miss Mabel T. Boardman, committee chairman and volunteer secretary of the National Red Cross, expressed a personal interest in Red Cross Volunteer work. Mrs. Coolidge said she has always been very much interested in this work, and conveyed her wishes for an ever-increasing service. Mrs. Roosevelt, after declaring her willingness to serve, added: "It would be quite impossible to refuse." Mrs. Wilson said, "I need not assure you of my deep interest in the Red Cross; it has been my custom to decline honorary committee membership but I feel I will be proud to have my name associated in this mission for humanity." The volunteer work of the Red Cross, over which the committee has supervision, according to the local chairman, is done by women throughout the United States. In includes, among other services, the making of garments for use in time of disasters; preparing surgical dressings; making Christmas cags for American soldiers in insular possessions and foreign territory; and transcribing books into Braille for the use of the blind. A flood of opposition has developed in New York to the proposal to read the commandments in the public schools once a week. Doubtless on the theory that it would be unfair to the evolutionists.
