Judge Jack Landell Drops Into Poetry Capistrano Justice Expresses Sentiments in Verse Jack Landell, justice of the peace of San Juan Capistrano, who sits up until midnight fining speeders and other violators of the law, is acquiring a reputation as a poet. Some days ago, having a few moments spare time, he took his pen in hand and produced the following: Who is it stands upon the intersection And keeps the traffic moving on its way? Who sees that you go in the right direction, Watches your safety all the live-long day? Who has to answer many a foolish question? Who makes the speeder "ease up" on the gas? Who stops the traffic at the least suggestion, And holds them back to leave the children pass? The Traffic Officer. Who helps you on the road to change a tire, Or gives you gasoline to "bring you in?" Who pulls your car out of the sand or mire, Or helps you start it when it won't "begin?" Who helps out every motor operator, And saves you trudging many a weary mile? Who is it that all of us soon or later, Call on for aid, and get it with a smile? The Highway Patrol. Who is it as you're rolling down the highway, The road ahead is clear, the pavement fine, Comes booming out from some dark lane or byway, And follows you until he "gets your time?" Who then, in spite of all your protestations, Will write your ticket up for "fifty- Economy in Road Building (Continued from Page One) Co-operative Union, and of the California Farm Bureau Federation. As indicating the fact that there was no reduction in the budget, but that on the contrary the budget has been so increased as to keep pace with the increased demands of a rapidly developing and a needy agriculture, the funds provided for the period 1920 to 1926 inclusive are quoted herewith: Year ending June 30, 1920...$ 369,350.84 Year ending June 30, 1921....436,658.83 Year ending June 30, 1922....719,551.79 Year ending June 30, 1923....918,422.07 Year ending June 30, 1924....879,690.34 Year ending June 30, 1925....1,008,239.46 *Year ending June 30, 1926...1,119,890.73 *Estimated. In addition, there was the extraordinary expense caused by the foot and mouth outbreak amounting to $654,000 which was used for operating expenses only, during the period of February, 1924, to June 30, 1926,$408,910 of which was paid out of the emergency fund by unanimous vote of the state controller and the board of control with the approval of Governor Richardson, and none of which amount was used for indemnities. A special appropriation of $2,289,106 was made for this purpose by the legislature of 1925 and approved by Governor Richardson. The secretary of the United States department of agriculture, Hon. William M. Jardine, in a letter under date of August 26, 1925, expressed his appreciation of the co-operation extended by Governor Richardson as follows: "It is gratifying to know that Governor Richardson understood the serious situation when this disease broke out in your state. He came to the aid of the forces of the federal government in a very energetic and efficient manner, and I appreciate the fact that he gave financial and moral assistance to the federal and state forces which enabled them to meet the situation in a way which promises the successful conclusion of the campaign." A plain statement of the facts is that foot and mouth disease was eradicated in California under extremely adverse conditions which have not been met with in any other similar campaign. It is significant that all federal quarantion efforts are now being conducted.

Professor Pierce Investigates Blight (Continued from Page One) vines, when we first noticed the disease and many other questions, to which we promptly made reply. He took down our name and said he would shortly visit our vineyard. A few days thereafter, a letter came to this office from Professor Pierce, who had located at Santa Ana, asking if he might have permission to look over old files in an effort to discover whether any reference had been made to the vine disease. We answered that we should be very happy to have him come and look over the files. The next morning, as we entered our office, there was Professor Pierce seated at a table, looking over old files of the paper. "How do you do, professor?" we observed. "How do you do, Mr. Smith?" he responded, rising and shaking hands. Explanations followed, and we were thereafter very good friends for many years. Credit for solving the walnut blight must be given Mr. Neff, who, by cutting back blighted trees and budding them with healthy scions, transformed them into fruitful and beautiful trees. In this case, as in many others, an ounce of practice is worth a pound of theory. Mr. Neff has retired from walnut culture, and now spends his time in clipping coupons from Liberty bonds, which is a job we should like to have ourselves. Mr. Neff's great work in solving the walnut blight was speedily brought to the attention of the agricultural department of the university at Berkeley, presided over by Prof. E. J. Wickson, and the department of agriculture at Washington as well. Professor Wickson regarded Mr. Neff as an outstanding authority on walnuts and other subjects connected with horticulture, and he was appointed conductor of Farmers' Institute of Southern California. It is not too much to say that he disseminated more knowledge among the farmers of Southern California than any man in the state. His work was also brought to the attention of the authorities at Washington, who regarded him with situation when this disease broke out in your state. He came to the aid of the forces of the federal government in a very energetic and efficient manner, and I appreciate the fact that he gave financial and moral assistance to the federal and state forces which enabled them to meet the situation in a way which promises the successful conclusion of the campaign." A plain statement of the facts is that foot and mouth disease was eradicated in California under extremely adverse conditions which have not been met with in any other similar campaign. It is significant that all federal quarantines and practically all foreign quarantines against California on account of foot and mouth disease were removed in June of this year, it having been a full year since there had been found any evidence of infection in the wild life in California. It is obvious that no such campaign could have been conducted to a successful conclusion had the campaign been hampered by lack of funds or otherwise. Watermelon Disease Prevalent in County By RAYMOND ELLIS, Assistant Farm Advisor Again there appears one of those mysterious plant diseases which defies all of the known and recommended control measures. We have fought against such diseases for a long time, especially those of us who have worked with tomatoes. This time, however, the disease has appeared on watermelons and is known as gummy stem blight. This disease has been prevalent in other sections of the United States for some time, but this year has found it doing much damage in Orange county. The disease is marked by the death of the vines from the centers outward. The root just below the ground, the branches and some of the leaves show brown, irregular cankers, the former showing an exudation of gum in most cases. Under favorable weather conditions, high humidity and warm temperatures, the disease develops rapidly and in many cases, though not always, the entire vine is killed. Sometimes, however, the fungus does not completely kill the plant, but seems only to affect the stems and foliage in the center of the vine. Poorly developed fruits often form on these partially killed vines. There seems to be another disease which has appeared in company with the stem blight on the melons in Orange county. Sometimes cankers have appeared, which look very much like the early or Alternaria blight, which attacked the potatoes this spring. Whether this is true remains to be seen. There are no control measures for stem blight which have yet been found successful. Bordeaux mixture has been used to good advantage in many cases, but only as a preventative and not as a cure. It is almost impossible to cure the disease after it once gets a foothold, but sometimes healthy vines may be saved by spraying, especially the centers, with a 4-4-50 Bordeaux mixture. the attention of the agricultural department of the university at Berkeley, presided over by Prof. E. J. Wickson, and the department of agriculture at Washington as well. Professor Wickson regarded Mr. Neff as an outstanding authority on walnuts and other subjects connected with horticulture, and he was appointed conductor of Farmers' Institute of Southern California. It is not too much to say that he disseminated more knowledge among the farmers of Southern California than any man in the state. His work was also brought to the attention of the authorities at Washington, who regarded him with particular favor as an authority on horticulture and kindred pursuits. He maintained a large correspondence with experts at Berkeley and at Washington and was held in high esteem by them. Construction of the bridge across the river at Olive was made at a time when there was quite an undercurrent in what is now Orange county for county division. The bridge was the first large expenditure of money ever made in this county by Los Angeles. Sentiment for division grew on apace and, in the following year a bill was passed through the legislature providing for the formation of this county. Los Angeles had defeated two other attempts at division, in 1872 and 1876, and was powerful in 1889. The old-timers faced a fierce fight, and when it seemed that the city might win again, they held conferences with the San Francisco delegation, who were won over for division, and the bill was passed. It provided that an election should be held and that at least two-thirds of the qualified voters should favor division before the organization of the county. Los Angeles took this matter into court, setting up the claim that it was unconstitutional, but the city was defeated and the county was formed. Next story, the first oil well drilled in Brea canyon, 55 years ago, which was abandoned after going down 700 feet. Brea canyon lay dormant thereafter, so far as oil drilling was concerned for more than twenty years, but it was finally brought in as one of the greatest oil fields in the state of California.

CORY, Assistant Farm Advisor Cows of ordinary capacity may easily be overfed, in which case they lay on fat instead of increasing their milk production. While cows of marked dairy temperament, even when fed liberally, rarely lay on flesh when in full flow of milk, provided their ration is well balanced. Recognizing this fact, many dairy-men place a placard on the stanchion in front of the cow which has the pounds of milk and butterfat produced per day by that individual. This method may be employed where the cows are in the habit of going into the same stanchion. If such is not the case, the feeder should thoroughly familiarize himself with the production of each individual, that he may feed more intelligently. It is not necessary to compute a balanced ration for each animal. All that is needed is to determine what amounts and proportions of roughages and concentrates should be used to make the most economical ration that meets the requirements for the average cows in the herd. With each cow receiving all of the roughage she will eat, which will usually be the equivalent of about two pounds of dry roughage daily per one hundred pounds live weight, or of one pounds of dry roughage and three pounds of silage. Then the amount of concentrates for each cow may be determined by feeding one pound of concentrates per day for each three or ANAHEIM GAZETTE Orange County First In Motor Car Sales Leads All Counties of State in Percentage of Increase Orange county continues to lead all other counties in the state in the sale of new automobiles, says the Motor Registration News, recapitulating registrations in Sacramento for the month of June and comparing it with the same month of last year. Analysis of sales for the same months in the two years reveals that sales in California for last month recorded a gain varying from 2 per cent in Los Angeles, to 49 per cent in Orange county. Commenting on the report, the News says: "Optimism should prevail for the California automotive merchants when glancing back over the past six months, visualizing the records made in the sales of new passenger and commercial vehicles. Each month of 1926 has outdone the like month of 1925. "The increase this year over last in comparing total sales, varies in increases all the way from 56 sales, which was the lowest gain recorded, and that was in May, to as high as 46 per cent increase, registered in January. "The month just closed registered a 4 per cent gain. This, in sales, amounts to 908. The total sales of cars and trucks amount to 20,741, whereas, in June, 1925, the total registered was 19,883. Northern California registered 1 per cent increase in its total sales of passenger and commercial vehicles over the June, 1925, record, which was 9227. In June of 1926, the northern portion of four pounds of milk, depending on its richness. Following this method, where the animals are not in the habit of going to the same stalls, an equal amount may be placed in the mangers in front of the stanchions. After the cows are locked in place, a second helping may be given to those individuals whose production Justifies the additional amount."

Schools of County Show Big Increase Reflecting a general tendency on the part of the youth of the nation to secure high school and college educations is the increase shown in high school and junior year just drawn to a close compared with previous years, according to a report prepared by R. P. Mitchell, county superintendent of schools. Average high school attendance for the school year 1925-26 registered 4021. Following are the attendance figures for other years: 1921-22, 3172; 1922-23, 3482; 1923-24, 3832; 1924-25, 3878.

A small decrease is reported in the attendance in elementary grades, which, for the school year, just closed was 13,921, compared with 14,398 for 1924-25.
