FARM BUREAU NOTES State Supervises Bottle Exchange The state department of agriculture has embarked on a new venture in directing back to rightful owners the millions of milk bottles which are sent out daily to residents of the city of Los Angeles and other cities in Southern California. The Southern California Milk Dealers' Association appealed to Dr. J. J. Frey, chief of the bureau of dairy control, state department of agriculture, for assistance in securing the return of milk bottles, cans, cases, and other paraphernalia used in the distribution of the milk supply to the citizens of Southern California. In his request to the department, R. D. Weaver, president of the California Milk Dealers' Association, said: "We have nearly $50,000 invested in equipment for a milk bottle exchange, including trucks, platforms and conveyors, which are used to cover a territory from Santa Barbara to San Juan Capistrano, and from the beach towns of Venice and Santa Monica to San Bernardino and as far north as Bakersfield. We have on the average forty employees and have, for the last three months, collected and delivered to their rightful owners an average of 961,515 bottles per month." "While we cannot say that the bottle exchange saves all of these bottles, because some of them would eventually get back to their rightful owners, nevertheless the records of our members show a very great saving." The aver life of a milk bottle used to be nine trips before being broken, lost or stolen, now it has been increased to 70. The state has deputized Nathan Volen to handle this important work, says Dr. Frey, feeling that as state official he can serve the community better than as a private individual. There are over 150 milk distributors in the Los Angeles territory with a circula- Walnut Committee Plans Pest Control By J. A. SMILEY, Chairman Farm Bureau Walnut Department The population of the walnut worm will be sadly lessened following the dusting and spraying campaign that is planned for the late spring months, during the peak of the egg laying and hatching season of this pest. At a meeting held last week by the members of the special pest control committee authorized by a mass meeting of the walnut growers at Orange last fall, preliminary plans were laid for the campaign, in co-operation with the horticultural office. Arsenate of lead will be the poison by which the pest will be combated. It will be used both in the dust and in the wet spray form. In applying the arsenate of lead dust it is estimated that the cost will be about 50 cents per tree for material and 8 cents per tree for application, making a total of 58 cents. This dust will also include nicotine sulfate, which will combat the walnut aphis. Where the wet spray is used, the cost will average from 70 cents to 75 cents per tree, figuring trees 15 to 18 years of age, and using 25 gallons per tree. James Gilbert, manager of the Walnut Growers' Spray Manufacturers Company of Los Angeles informed the committee that eight dusting outfits and four spray outfits would be available for Orange county during the season from his company, providing the growers would furnish as many more rigs in this district. Several growers have indicated that they plan to equip themselves with outfits for the campaign. In some cases several growers will go together to buy an outfit, thus cutting down the overhead for any one grove. It is estimated by the committee that an outfit should not serve more than 100 to 120 acres.

The state has deputized Nathan Volen to handle this important work, says Dr. Frey, feeling that as state official he can serve the community better than as a private individual. There are over 150 milk distributors in the Los Angeles territory with a circulation of millions of milk bottles a month. The exchange itself is handling a million bottles a month which have failed to return to their rightful owners. The value of this service to the dairy interests can be appreciated when it is stated that over 6,000,000 new milk bottles are purchased annually in California at an average cost of 7 cents each. Bottle costs is an important item in the total expense of serving the public with its daily routine of milk. Since all production and distribution costs are ultimately paid by the consumer, the department believes that in assisting to eliminate milk bottle losses it is helping to reduce living costs and thereby rendering a real public service. Lemon Pruning School Postponed The lemon growers' pruning school, scheduled for last week, was necessarily called off on account of the rains. The new date set for the pruning practice demonstration will be Monday, April 12, 10 a.m., at the same place—the Hewitt ranch, located at the corner of Lemon and Serrano streets, Villa Park. Many lemon growers were disappointed at the necessity of postpone-ment but were happy on the other hand of having the welcome rains come as they did, which is generally a good cause in this section. W. R. Schoonover, citrus specialist of the college of agriculture, and H. E. Wahlberg, farm advisor, will conduct the pruning practice school on April 12. Growers are urged to bring their pruning shears and saws with them. Use Black Powder To Frighten Birds The use of black powder as a means of frightening birds out of vegetable fields and orchards, is advocated by George Tonkin, federal game inspector. "It is against the law to kill many varieties of migratory birds," said Mr. Tonkin. "Furthermore, killing often has the contrary effect, as dead ducks or dead geese are frequently observed acting as decoys. Birds are more affected by fright caused by unusual conditions than by the death of some of their own number." Black powder not only explodes with a loud noise, but gives forth a great quantity of smoke, which will quickly frighten a flock of birds and drive them James Gilbert, manager of the Walnut Grove's Spray Manufacturer Company of Los Angeles informed the committee that eight dusting outfits and four spray outfits would be available for Orange county during the season from his company, providing the growers would furnish as many more rigs in this district. Several growers have indicated that they plan to equip themselves with outfits for the campaign. In some cases several growers will go together to buy an outfit, thus cutting down the overhead for any one grove. It is estimated by the committee that an outfit should not serve more than 100 to 120 acres. Estimates are now being compiled by the various associations for orders of arsenate of lead dust that will be required during the spring campaign. The horticultural commission plans to keep an entomologist in the field during the entire codling moth season to keep a close check on the development of eggs and larvae, in order to gauge the proper periods for maximum pest control. Growers will be notified through the press, farm centers and in other ways as to the proper time for applying the control measures. The horticultural office expects to follow out the desires of the majority of the walnut growers to keep down the pest to its minimum, and to do this plans to keep a close inspection on all groves in the county during the main season. Growers will be notified by inspectors as to the condition of infestation in their trees and, if the worm is found in sufficient numbers, will be required to dust or spray. The control measures planned for this year will no doubt reduce the worm infestation to a commercial minimum. Walnut Men Study Disease Control One of the important phases of orchard management in the walnut grove at this time of the year is the control of trunk and root diseases. The spring months offer the best time for control work, as the healing processes function better during the spring growing season than other times of the year. A series of three field demonstrations is announced by the farm advisor's office at which the control of the common diseases of walnuts will be discussed and demonstrated. The demonstrations will be conducted by W. B. Hooper, walnut specialist of the college of agriculture, and H. E. Wahlberg, farm advisor. The diseases to be handled will include crown gall, melauxma and heart rot, which is the basic cause of tree cavities. Other less common disease conditions will be discussed by the specialist. The following schedule is announced: Tuesday, March 30, 2 p.m.—Anahelm. place of W. C. Mauerhan, Katella avenue, near Palm. Wednesday, March 31, 10 a.m.—West Orange, John Adams' grove, on Little North Main, at the Santa Fe railroad crossing. Wednesday, March 31, 2 p.m.—Tustin, Charles Van Wyk grove, Lyon of frightening birds out of vegetable fields and orchards, is advocated by George Tonkin, federal game inspector. "It is against the law to kill many varieties of migratory birds," said Mr. Tonkin. "Furthermore, killing often has the contrary effect, as dead ducks or dead geese are frequently observed acting as decoys. Birds are more affected by fright caused by unusual conditions than by the death of some of their own number." Black powder not only explodes with a loud noise, but gives forth a great quantity of smoke, which will quickly frighten a flock of birds and drive them off the premises. Black powder shells can be secured in bulk from most of the wholesale powder companies, and will be found a very effective remedy against birds preying upon vegetable fields, says the department of agriculture. Furthermore, the black powder is much less expensive in first cost than the smokeless or sporting powders. From the standpoint of food value, insect pest destroyers and scavengers, otter wild birds are increasing in value to the state as well as to the entire nation. This is probably a greater asset to the farmer than to any other class of citizens. The study of bird stomach contents is continually bringing a greater realization of this value. SUMMER TRAVEL SOON TO SET IN California is on the threshold of a big summer excursion travel which, under ideal conditions existing both on the coast and in the East and Middle West, should pile up records and make the leading seaside and mountain resorts and other attractions all over the state the mecca for thousands. This was the prediction made by W. J. Black of Chicago, passenger traffic manager of the Santa Fe railway system, who is in the state for the purpose of looking into arrangements being made for handling the enormous traffic which is expected to set in May 15 with the opening of the excursion season from the East. The reduced rates back East will be effective May 22. "Fortunately," said Mr. Black, "California does not have any flareups," such as other sections of the country have, and it is always a matter of pride for the Santa Fe to point to this state as one place where a person may go and the next season go back again. "It has been demonstrated to our entire satisfaction that people may go to Europe and to the lake districts and mountains 'in this country and they may take a look at other places, but they almost invariably come back to California as the most attractive year-round section of the universe for tourists and all seeking pleasure, recreation and an environment that cannot be excelled." The passenger chief said travel now is about equally distributed during summer and winter, and it gives everybody a chance to come to California at the time of year best suited for sightseeing, motoring, the selection of a little orchard farm, a bungalow home or for the purpose of entering business. Garden Grove, Orange county, carried a $50,000 water bond issue by a 12 to 1 vote. 'The Devil's Circus' At the California Norma Shearer is the star player in "The Devil's Circus," which comes to the West Coast California theater, Anaheim, for three days, beginning at next Sunday's matinee. The picture was directed by Benjamin Christianson, prominently known European director, who also wrote the story and adapted it to the screen. Miss Shearer, as Mary, an inmate of an orphan home, flees in search of her mother, who, unknown to her child, is a member of a gang of crooks that includes an alluring demi-monde and a handsome though clever rogue. Charles Emmett Mack plays the latter role and Carmel Myers vamp. The search leads Mary into the camp of the thieves, where her innocence touches Carlstrop (Mack), and she is taken under his wing for protection. The police arrest Carlstrop as a pick-pocket and he is sent to prison. Mary falls into the clutches of another crook, Lieberkrand, who secures for her a position with a circus, and it is here that most of the action is laid. Other screen features on this three-day bill are a Lane comedy entitled "Time and Flies," an International Newreel and a special film feature, "Romance of Beethoven." 'The Great Love' on California Screen "The Gryat Love," Marshall Neilan's latest screen production, which will be shown at the West Coast California theater, Anaheim, Friday and Saturday, is said to be as illarious a vagary of fancy as ever was concocted, and is held to be one of the most brilliant comedy hits of the season. It's the story of an elephant falling in love with the doctor who cures her—falling with six tons of affection, that works untold hardship on the object of it when the elephant follows her sweet-heart through stone walls, a church bazaar and wrecks a whole village in her desire to be near him. Nellan wrote the story which begins. Thomas Corrects Erroneous Belief Not on Bench, but Engaged in Private Practice To Whom It May Concern: In view of the fact that a very large number of my friends in this county still believe that I am on the bench in Los Angeles, notwithstanding that my judicial duties ended with the year 1920, I have thought wise to correct this erroneous impression through the press. Since January 3, 1921, I have been in private practice of my profession, with my offices at Suite 808-810 Washington building, corner Third and Spring streets, Los Angeles, although I continue to reside at my home, 425 West First street, in Santa Ana, making the round trip daily. I am specializing in probate and corporation practice. For the convenience of any who may desire to see me in Santa Ana, appointments may be made for conferences at my home from 7:30 to 10 o'clock any evening, except Saturday and Sunday. Cordially yours, W. H. THOMAS. ALL THAT MATTERED Mother—"Tommy! Don't eat so fast! I know a little boy who died before he had eaten half of his ice cream! Boy—What happened to the other half? Viola Dana and Robert Agnew play leading roles, not forgetting "Norma," the giant pachyderm whose activities give the picture its title and furnish the bulk of the comedy. In addition to the three stars, cast contains the names of many notable film stars, including Frank Currier, Zasu Pitts, Junior Coughlan and Chester Conklin, without whom no animal comedy feature would be complete.

King, state printer, addressed the student body of the high school at the auditorium Monday morning. He spoke about printing as an art and the value of a journalistic education, whether the student desires to follow that occupation or not. "Printing, as an art, teaches method and all the other attributes of art and beauty," Mr. King said. "Journalism experience on a small country newspaper can have the value of a college education to a boy or girl who is observant and ambitious," the speaker said. "In America there is no succession to any job. Each must work and earn the education to prove.

Another Tooth Extracted From Dry Agents Prohibition agents must have definite information before searching persons, homes or automobiles for liquor, according to an opinion received by Sheriff Traeger from the office of County Counsel Bishop. The opinion, prepared by Deputy County Counsel Kline, declares that if a person is to be searched, an arrest must be made previously. The document cites the opinion of Chief Justice Taft of the United States supreme court, to the effect that pro-miscellaneous searching of automobiles would be an intolerable condition. The right of persons of the state to be secure in their persons, homes and effects against unreasonable searches and seizures is a constitutional guarantee, the opinion declares. There is no guarantee against reasonable searches and seizures, however. The important question is whether the search is reasonable or not. The mere possession of a search warrant, it is stated, does not determine the question of reasonability. Such a warrant, it is said, may be irregularly issued or illegally executed. It is recommended that searches and seizures be made in the daytime when practicable. To make night searches legal, it is stated, there must be positive evidence by affidavit that the property sought is on the person or premises to be searched. THE S.Q.R.
