FARM BUREAU NOTES Poultrymen's Meet Drew Large Crowd W. M. CORY. Assistant Farm Advisor Poultrymen from every district of the county joined in the tour last Friday to observe brooding equipment and practices. At Block's poultry ranch, where the party gathered, there was an opportunity of observing the University type colony brooder house. This house is a portable knockdown type, which may be removed to fresh quarters every year, which reduces and possibly completely eliminates infestation in young chicks. This system, of course, is limited to the poultrymen who have sufficient acreage to permit the moves. Heat elements used were kerosene and electric hovers. It was pointed out here that a hover space of seven square inches per chick should be allowed and a brooder pen with a total floor area including the hover, of one-half square foot per chick is not too large for chicks less than five weeks of age. At E. C. Wood's place natural gas was used to supply heat. Mr. Wood pointed out that poultrymen expecting to use gas should have a straight reflector, because if it is cupped down on the edges, the unburnt fumes will be forced down for the hicks to breathe, which is an extremely unhealthy condition. Mr. Wood was also using a hover of his own making, heated with overhead pipes. At R. C. Hastie's place electric and coal burning hovers were found in use. In Mr. Hastie's business of raising five to six-months-old pullets for sale, he is brooding chicks a good portion of the year and, according to him, the coal hover is preferable when brooding in the winter months, as it emits more heat with less possibility of the chicks piling up and sweating. The next stop was made at the W. S. Hatch place, Tustin. He had both the hot water and electric hovers. It was pointed out that the hot water system previously believed. Conservation of moisture by dust mulches is no longer imperative, in view of the fact that the greatest losses of water are through the transpiratory activities of plants. In this regard, the elimination of weed growth is of extreme importance. W. M. Mertz, prominent grower and investigator of Ontario, related experiences and conclusions on the efficient handling of field irrigation, his lecture being replete with practical suggestions on irrigation economics and efficiency. A report on mottle leaf investigations on citrus and walnuts was made by Dr. A. R. C. Haas, plant physiologist of the citrus experiment station, and while somewhat technical in nature, the explanation recently developed came as cheering news to the many growers who have suffered losses because of this malady. According to Dr. Haas, the difficulty lies in plant nutrition, specifically due to an over-balancing of plant food materials, resulting in the deficiciency of the one important one, namely, calcium. Work to date has been fundamental in character to develop information on causes. Practical control methods in groves have not as yet been completely devised. Accredited Chick Business Grows The rapid strides made in the production of accredited baby chicks in California is witnessed by the successful growth of the accredited breeders and hatcheries project of the farm bureau poultrymen's department of the seven southern counties. By adherence to rigid rules of culling and breeder selection, backed up by a competent inspection service, the members of this project are now producing a grade of chicks superior to the average. With the baby chick season on in full blast, attention is called to the latest list of members, available at the farm advisor's office, 110 Hall of Records, or executive committee: 1. Cold storage 2. A. J. McFadden, chairman 3. N. B. Curtis, Redland Fullerton. 4. Standardization Watson, chairman 5. Shattuck, Tustin; B. 6. Research — or S. E. Goodall, chair 7. J. M. Alcorn, Fuller Ojal. 8.

Hastie's place electric and coal burning hovers were found in use. In Mr. Hastie's business of raising five to six-months-old pullets for sale, he is brooding chicks a good portion of the year and, according to him, the coal hover is preferable when brooding in the winter months, as it emits more heat with less possibility of the chicks piling up and sweating. The next stop was made at the W. S. Hatch place, Tustin. He had both the hot water and electric hovers. It was pointed out that the hot water system necessitated a considerable outlay of capital to begin with and that, in order to reduce the interest and depreciation charge per chick, it would have to be in operation a good portion of the year. After partaking lunch at Hewes Park, the liquid refreshments of which were furnished by D. E. Huff, the group were addressed by R. B. Easson, extension poultry specialist of the university. His talk centered around economics and disease control. Quoting from a United States department of agriculture report, he said that the first six months of this year might not be particularly good for poultrymen, but the latter half looked brighter. Leaving Hewes Park at about 2 o'clock, E. H. Koenig's place and then A. H. Heineman's place were visited. Mr. Koenig uses the hot water system with a simple gas heater. This is also connected to burn kerosene in case of an emergency. Mr. Heineman is using a modification of the fireless hover, one constructed by himself. Where the birds rest at night, no artificial heat is supplied. However, a kerodene lamp beneath the run outside supplies warmth to those chicks needing it. This method should prove satisfactory when brooding chicks in small lots. The last stop of the day was made at C. J. Andren's place in Orange. He recently has completed a hot water brooder house, using the most up-to-the-minute improvements in its construction. Cello glass is used in place of glass, because ordinary window glass filters out the violet ray in the sunlight so essential to proper chick development. This house has capacity for 1000 chicks. Improvement in Coccidiosis Control With millions of chicks now being produced in Southern California during the spring season, the factor of disease prevention looms up as most important. Coccidiosis is one of the most feared diseases affecting chicks, and annually takes thousands of chicks from two to six weeks of age. The use of milk in various forms has been widely accepted as the best control available to poultrymen. Drugs and medicines have proven to be inefficient. According to Assistant Farm Advisor W. M. Cory, the work done by Dr. J. R. Beach of the college of agriculture, indicates clearly that milk in the form of skim milk, buttermilk, semi-skimmed milk is a successful preventive measure. The rapid strides made in the production of accredited baby chicks in California is witnessed by the successful growth of the accredited breeders and hatcheries project of the farm bureau poultrymen's department of the seven southern counties. By adherence to rigid rules of culling and breeder selection, backed up by a competent inspection service, the members of this project are now producing a grade of chicks superior to the average. With the baby chick season on in full blast, attention is called to the latest list of members, available at the farm advisor's office, 110 Hall of Records, or from the secretary, E. C. Hogsett of Pomona. In Orange county, 33 breeders and hatcheries are members of the association. For the protection of buyers, each lot of chicks from these members is accompanied by a pink certificate which, in turn, buyers may demand of producers as a protection against misrepresentation. Walnut Growers to Discuss Better Nuts Saturday, March 6, will be a redletter day for walnut growers of Orange county. A program dealing with the improvement of the quality of walnuts for the coming year has been arranged by the agricultural extension service, in co-operation with the walnut associations and the farm bureau. The walnut industry has faced, during the past year, a setback in certain sections, due to a sub-standard quality of nuts. A review of the causes of this condition will be presented by the various speakers and a remedy to overcome the factors causing the 1925 situation will be presented from various angles. One of the outstanding results of the past season's experience has been the revision of a grade standard for the California walnut crop, which will be put into effect during the coming year. A.J.McFadden, a member of the special committee working out the new plan, will discuss the details of the new grading standards at the Saturday meeting. Dr. L.D.Batchelor of the citrus experiment station, who has just returned from the walnut growing sections of Europe, will discuss the foreign walnut situation and the growing competition from foreign production. His talk will be illustrated with motion pictures and slides taken in the old country. Prof.A.W.Cristiai, who has recently been identified with the field division of the California Walnut Growers Association, having been loaned by the division of fruit products of the University of California, will also be one of the principal speakers on the afternoon's program. He will discuss the results of his tests and observations on more efficient harvesting and handling of walnuts. The recommendations that he will make will have a very important bearing on the handling of the 1926 crop. J.A.Smiley, chairman of the farm bureau walnut department, and also of the special committee appointed by a mass meeting of walnut growers last Miss Juanita B.O.Iowa, and David Gara were married tional parsonage T Hart officiating.

As has been customary, this event was held under the auspices of the Southern California citrus growers' department of the farm bureau, cooperating with the agricultural extension service, and this year's attendance totaled 300. The newest development in water application is the overhead system, and F. H. Macpherson of San Gabriel related his experiences as a pioneer in the field, discussing benefits and limitations of the method, and the greatest advantage of which is uniformity and control of moisture distribution. The discussion by F. J. Velhmeyer of the college of agriculture, on the behavior of soil water, brought out some rather interesting comments. Losses of water by capillary rise are not as important as produced in Southern California during the spring season, the factor of disease prevention looms up as most important. Cocciidosis is one of the most feared diseases affecting chicks, and annually takes thousands of chicks from two to six weeks of age. The use of milk in various forms has been widely accepted as the best control available to poultrymen. Drugs and medicines have proven to be inefficient. According to Assistant Farm Advisor W. M. Cory, the work done by Dr. J. R. Beach of the college of agriculture, indicates clearly that milk in the form of skim milk, buttermilk, semi-solid or dry is a successful preventive agent and possesses curative powers as well, in cases not too far advanced. Lactic acid is not the important element. It is the breaking down of milk sugar which creates the necessary control element. It is highly important the milk be fed in recommended quantities if cocciidosis control is to be successful. That form of milk most cheaply available to the individual poultryman is the form to use, because no one has shown striking superiority over the others. Detailed information on dosage and method of feeding, as well as on the disease itself, is available at the office of the farm advisor, 110 Hall of Records, Santa Ana. Persimmon Growers Study Marketing At a meeting last week in Los Angeles of the executive committee of the farm bureau persimmon growers' department, embracing the seven southern counties, definite steps were taken looking towards a more effective marketing plan for the persimmon growers of Southern California. Prof. H. E. Erdman, University of California, met with the committee and outlined a plan of procedure which appealed to the majority of the representatives present. It was pointed out that four essential projects should be investigated preliminary to the selection of any definite plan—they are: cold storage, transportation, standardization of packs, and uniformity of ripeness. Four committees were named by the ANAHEIM GAZETTE executive committee as follows: 1. Cold storage and transportation, A. J. McFadden, chairman, Santa Ana; N. B. Curtis, Redlands; O. T. Kelley, Fullerton. 2. Standardization and pack, E. A. Watson, chairman, Tustin; George Shattuck, Tustin; R. E. Doty, Goleta. 3. Research—orchard management, S. E. Goodall, chairman, Owensmouth; J. M. Alcorn, Fullerton; R. A. Gates, Ojal. 4. Marketing, A. F. Manz, chairman, La Habra; W. P. Elliott, Monrovia; A. J. McFadden, vice-president, Santa Ana. New officers for the department were selected as follows: S. E. Goodall, Owensmouth, chairman; A. F. Manz, La Habra, vice-chairman; S. E. Anderson, Los Angeles, secretary. The outgoing officers were George W. Sherwood, president, Fullerton; A. J. McFadden, vice-president, Santa Ana, and E. A. Watson, secretary, Tustin. Buena Park Notes (By MRS. J. P.
