FARM BUREAU NOTES Grain Growers Find Improved Varieties W. M. CORY, Asst. Farm Advisor Grain growers of the county have cooperated closely with the agricultural extension service in the development of improved varieties of grain. The task of testing new varieties in comparison with those commonly grown is a tedious one and attended with many failures. Varieties that show up favorably one year may not compare as favorably as another the next, so the job is to find the variety which consistently is the heaviest yielder year after year. The first step in testing new varieties is to plant them in measured rows, the same as a garden which, when harvested, the yield per acre is determined mathematically. Those varieties showing up favorably here are then given field tests of 5 to 10-acre plots, from which considerable seed may be obtained if the variety is considered worthy. In this manner a minimum of ground is used for experimental purposes. Since the organization of the grain growers' department of the farm bureau, whose present chairman is John Osterman, such work has been actively carried on. The aim of the department is to establish the highest yielding present known variety of barley, wheat and oats for this section. Then by the general adoption of these varieties by all grain growers of this section, Orange producer of clean seed of these varieties, county would then become known are a Oregon Club Marlout and "4000" barley have quite generally replaced the common variety when sown for grain, as they have consistently for the last three years returned more per acre. This year two 10-acre plots of Fulghum oats and Hero barley have been planted. The coats will be compared in yield to Texas Red oats, which has been the variety accepted by most.

Control of Coccidiosis of Chicks Important With millions of chicks now being produced in 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 Control of Coccidiosis of Chicks Important With millions of chicks now being produced in 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 efficient. The work done by Dr. J. R. Beach of the college of agriculture, University of California, indicates clearly that milk, 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, says Dr. Beach; it is the breaking down of milk sugar which creates the necessary control element. It is highly important that milk be fed in recommended quantities if coccidiosis control is to be successful. That form of milk most cheaply available to individual poultrymen is the form to use, because no one has shown striking superiority over the others. Detailed information on dosages and method of feeding, as well as on the disease itself, is available at the farm advisor's office, 110 Hall of Records, Santa Ana. Transplanting of Sweet Potatoes R. ELLIS, Asst. Farm Advisor With the approach of warm weather sweet potato growers are naturally thinking of transplanting into the field. Before the transplanting time arrives, of course, the field should be well worked up and the beds formed. These beds will vary in height from six to fifteen inches, with the lower ones the most popular among the growers. For the most part, Orange county fields will be set out between now and the first of June. Later, plantings do not usually yield as well, due to the shorter growing season and also to the hot weather injuring the stand. In pulling plants from the hot bed, the grower readily appreciates one of the reasons for using sand in the bed, inasmuch as the plant pulls much better from material of this sort. The puller places his free hand on the soil around the plant and the plant is lifted out with the other hand. The plants then should be placed in bundles, and all plants over 10 inches high should be pruned back. The plants, after pulling, should be kept out of the sun to prevent drying out. They may be held for a considerable length of time, providing the roots are kept slightly moist. Care should be taken to keep the tops dry, however, as a slimy decay may set in if they are allowed to become wet for a day or two. After the plants have been set out, the moisture should be watched closely, so that drying out does not take place. Sometimes it is necessary to give an irrigation within two or three days after planting, depending naturally, on present known variety of barley, wheat and oats for this section. Then by the general adoption of these varieties by all grain growers of this section, Orange producer of clean seed of these varieties, county would then become known area a Oregon Club Marlout and "4000" barley have quite generally replaced the common variety when sown for grain, as they have consistently for the last three years returned more per acre. This year two 10-acre plots of Fulghum oats and Hero barley have been planted. The coats will be compared in yield to Texas Red oats, which has been the variety accepted by most. The barley will be compared in yield to the two mentioned above, namely, "4000" and Oregon Club Marlout. In addition, eight varieties of wheat are being tested in rows, observations being made as to yield and freedom from disease. Test plots are located on John Osterman's place. Aaron Buchheim's place and Jerome Brothers' place. These men have given a great deal to the interests of the grain growers of the county. An opportunity to observe the variety plantings will be given the grain growers in May, when a tour is being planned. Prospects for a grain crop are better this year than for the last three years, but more rain is badly needed. Season to Check Walnut Diseases The season is at hand for walnut growers to give attention to disease control work, according to H. E. Wahlberg of the agricultural extension service. Treatment of wood rot or heart rot, and crown gall involve the application of tree surgery principles, and April and May are excellent months for the work. Melaxuna, and foot rot or heart failure, also known as crown rot, become active during the summer, and growers are advised to keep their eyes open for these diseases while working in their groves. A series of field meetings and demonstrations of treatments will be held under the auspices of the Orange county farm advisor's office March 30 and 31. Places will be announced later. At these meetings W. B. Hooper, walnut specialist, will demonstrate cavity filling and trunk and root disease treatments. Hit or miss methods can no longer be tolerated in the walnut industry, in the light of tightening competition in the markets of the country, and between individual groves. Disease is a factor which increases overhead costs by causing actual loss of trees and decreased production per acre. Individual inspection and attention to trees in the grove is becoming an increasingly important feature of the year's routine. Charles C. Miller Called by Death Former Well-Known Resident Dies in Tuolumne County Charles C. Miller, formerly a well-known and highly respected citizen of Anaheim, passed away at his home in Jamestown, Tuolumne county, on Monday, March 8, in the ninety-second year of his age. For a number of years he had resided in the northern county, but had many friends in Anaheim who will be grieved to hear of his passing away. Mr. Miller's health had been impaired for some time. Mr. Miller was one of the dauntless pioneers who went to Tuolumne county in the early times and by his industrious life and social inclinations took no small part, for an individual, in forming the glory of its early history and opening the country for present-day prosperity. A descendant of sturdy Scottish ancestors, who are believed to have first settled in Canada, and born in Huron county, Ohio, where his father's family had settled, he came to California in 1855, with a former wife and the wife's parents, by the way of Panama. He had led an active adventurous life that was devoid of the advantages given to a rising generation in modern times. Left an orphan at the age of 12, he embarked on a whaler, of which a brother-in-law was the captain, and sailed through polar regions, going to the Pacific ocean by way of the straits of Magellan. After a prosperous two years' cruise, he returned to Ohio, obtained employment on the Lake Shore railroad and worked his way up from fireman to engineer. Then reports of the gold discoveries on the Pacific coast began to circulate and, following the trend of other adventurous spirits, he finally made up his mind to come to California. At first he settled on a farm lying partly in Tuolumne county and partly in Stanislaus county and still known as the Adams ranch, from the name of a former owner. His first wife died of diphtheria at the place two years after they had settled, and he then took up the adventurous life of a miner of those days, following it in Tuolumne county and other parts of the state for about 20 years, meeting in this the varied fortunes common to miners of the period—sometimes success and other times failure. During the interval he spent a year or thereabouts (1876), starting a vineyard at Anaheim, but soon returned to Tuolumne county to follow his regular occupation of mining. He came to Anaheim again in 1883 and started an ANAHEIM GAZETTE orehard on a smaller tract of his former holdings. For many years of his earlier life in Tuolumne county he lived at Poverty Hill, the Stent of the present day. In 1830 he was married to Miss Alice Leland, daughter of another Jamestown pioneer, and a member of a Puritan family of note in the Massachusetts of colonial times. Mrs. Miller's father came to these parts in 1850 by way of Cape Horn. Soon after his marriage, Mr. Miller came to Anaheim a third time, where the couple lived until 1906, when they returned to Jamestown, where they have since made their home. Of the immediate relatives only the wife and a son are surviving, the latter, Capt. Leland A. Miller, is now stationed at an army post at Rock Island, Ill. Lettuce shipments from the Imperial valley have been almost double those for the same period last year. Cities Must Vote Bonds for Sewer (Continued from Page One) were it not for two other conditions which must apply. The outfall is to be extended into the ocean to a point approximately 3100 feet from the last manhole, and the beginning of this 3100 feet is approximately 8½ feet below high tide. These conditions mean that the sewage will back up in the sewer to such a point the elevation of which is high enough above the ocean at point of discharge, to give an hydraulic gradient sufficiently large to force the sewage through the pipe. "The sewer from the lowest manhole to the screening plant, with the exception of several short lengths, was built of vitrified segment blocks and was not designed to carry internal pressure. However, where the sewer is underafter the backfilled earth has thoroughly settled. This condition exists only over part of the length of the sewer. Over the remaining part, the sewer was built in cuts of approximately two feet, which leaves the top half, or more, of the line exposed, with no back pressure from the earth. Thus, the maximum point, to which it would be safe to allow sewage to back up in the sewer without danger of failure of the sewer, is about 8300 feet up the line from the last manhole. This gives a maximum gradient sufficient at high tide to give a discharge from a 42-inch pipe of 7.2 million gallons daily. With the present 42-inch outfall extended into the ocean as proposed, the land outfall sewer will be stressed to its capacity within a year or two. "In order to make the outfall of capacity above the screening plant, two alternate methods are possible—by increasing the size of the lower portion of the land outfall line, or by the installation of a pumping plant near the last manhole and using the present size of cast iron outfall as a force main, with pumping at periods of high tides." The engineers report that investigation of currents at the point to which the line would be extended had demonstrated that discharges from the line would not pollute the beach near by. Following discussion of the report, C. W. Girvin, chairman of the board of trustees of the Buena Park sanitary district, asked for information as to whether the district would be admitted to the joint sewer operations if the district were to make application. No objections were voiced by representatives present, indicating that should application be made it would be granted. It was pointed out by Clyde Bishop, attorney for the joint boards, that there is no legal impediment to the entrance of the district. Adjustments of capacities assigned to each unit would have to be made to make provision for the new district. Santa Ana now owns 47½ per cent of the capacity of the main joint outfall—that portion below the treatment plant. O. E. Steward, former city engineer of Anaheim and engineer in charge of the joint outfall, was authorized to close...
