Boulevard Bridge Will Be Rebuilt Structure Near County Hospital Too Narrow for Traffic In answer to inquiries as to the plan of reconstructing the West Chapman street bridge, state highway engineers have issued the following statement: "As a result of a thorough study of the engineering features connected with the problem of widening the Chapman street bridge, near Orange, the California highway commission decided that it was advisable to remove the superstructure of the existing bridge. The pliers of the old bridge will be extended on each side and a new deck 40 feet wide having a six foot sidelow on each side is to be constructed. The type of the old bridge was such that the entire roadway was supported by the outside girders which, extending above the roadway slab, act as the railing. The removal of this railing, which is necessary in case the bridge is to be widened, causes the complete collapse of the structure. Consideration was given to the construction of a second bridge at the side of the old one, and splitting traffic. It was found that this cost of a second narrow bridge would not be very much less than the cost of providing one bridge with a clear 40-foot roadway. Another bad feature would be the fact that the center of the bridges, if built side by side, would be 15 feet out of line with the center of the roundway. It has also been demonstrated that the splitting of traffic over structures has been the cause of many accidents. It was therefore considered unwise to build a second structure at the side of the old one on this road which is fast coming to be one of the heaviest traveled roads in the state. The new bridge will be a fine wide structure, very similar in appearance to the structure recently completed over the San Gabriel river on the Whittier boulevard. It will be modern in every way and be built to withstand the heavy loads of modern traffic." Buena Park Notes (By MRS. J. P. ROBISON) The Parent-Teacher Association entertained Wednesday evening at the Masonic hall in honor of the teachers. The banquet room was beautifully decorated with Hallowe'en emblems. An address of welcome was given by Rev. W. W. Hart. Mrs. Dora Glines, principal, responded. Mrs. J. V. Kelsey of Garden Grove, president of the fourth district, gave a talk on the relation of the Parent-Teacher Association to parents and teachers. Mrs. Goodale of Anaheim gave a review of the amendments. Music was furnished by Miss Ramona Mulligan and three of her piano pupils, Leona Horn, Charlotte Greenwalt and Edith Page. At the close of the program a social time was enjoyed, at which every one was expected to meet the teachers. Refreshments were served by the girls of the eighth grade. Mrs. J. F. Shupson and Mrs. Carl Snyder returned Wednesday from a two weeks' stay at their cabin at Pujunga. Mrs. W. B. Shaw attended a luncheon for the worthy matrons of the Eastern Star at the home of Mrs. Martin of Vorba Linda.

M. CORY, Assist. Farm Advisor The question as to whether to plant alfalfa seed in the fall or to wait until spring is probably under consideration in the minds of those who are expecting to plant. In any case, the land should have been in a clean cultivated crop for the past year and preferably two years, so that it is free from grass and weeds. Where the soil has been kept in a loose cultivated condition, followed with irrigation, almost invariably a cultivation hardpan will develop. This subsol must be broken up to permit the air, water and plant roots to penetrate to the deeper portions of the soil, since alfalfa is normally a deep-rooted plant. The first step then in preparing land for alfalfa is to plow it deeply. This deep plowing should be done before leveling, otherwise the hard subsoil in the lower places may not be reached later. Leveling Saves Labor The land should be level, which saves labor in its uniform irrigation later on, thus eliminating bare spots so characteristic of an uneven field. The type of checking system installed depends on the grade and soil type present. The long paralleled checks are preferable, as they are easier to work over in mowing and raking and less labor in building. If the soil is light, however, these runs should not exceed 300 feet in length and 25 feet in width, and a good head of water available to avoid excessive leaching at the upper end. The square checks probably give a more uniform irrigation in very heavy soil, as the water can be held in the checks long enough to force deep percolation. The Seed Bed The seed bed should be free from clods and rather firm to keep the soil around the seed molst. Planting may take place up to the middle of next month, but preferably before then to permit the development of a root system before the desert winds arrive and before danger of frost. Fall planting has the advantage of spring planting in that a heavier yield will be obtained in the first year, less competition from grass and weeds before getting established, and the development of a deep root system. This is accomplished because irrigation may be delayed, in that the plants will be older before the first irrigation is necessary.

Sweet Potato Growers Will Hold Field Day In concluding his discussion of control measures, Bardolino new says: "Before packing for shipment, each lot of fruit should be carefully inspected for the presence of alternaria rot in its early stages. This should be done by slicing off the stem end of the lemon, just under the button. If the lemon has become infected, the small bundle of tissues in the center of the cut surface will have a pinkish to light brown color. If a given lot of fruit examined in this manner shows more than an extremely low percentage of infection, it should not be shipped, or should be placed on a market where the time consumed in transit will be short and where the chances for its early consumption are good." Persimmon Handling Being Investigated By H. E. WAHLBERG, Farm Advisor Persimmon growers who attended the recent farm bureau persimmon growers' department meeting at Monrovia were informed that, following the request made by this organization about three years ago, some investigational work has been conducted by the division of pomology on the ripening and storage behavior of Japanese persimmons. The industry is looking to some method of treatment of the fruit that will remove its astringency by the time it reaches the eastern markets. The keeping qualities of the fruit in storage is another important problem confronting the industry. Prof. E. L. Overholser, pomologist, College of Agriculture, stated at the recent annual meeting that further studies and investigations would be conducted by his department. Local growers volunteered to supply the fruit necessary for the work. Professor Overholser, in discussing the subject, said in part: "It appears that the astringency of the unripened persimmon is due to the presence of soluble uncombined tannin in the cells of the fruit. As the fruit matures the tannin either becomes insoluble or becomes combined with an associated celluloid to form an insoluble tannin-celloid complex." The Japanese, for many years, have practiced the artificial ripening of the persimmon by storing them in air-tight casks that have been previously used for sale and keeping them there for two or three weeks. Work in this country has indicated that the Japanese persimmon may be rendered non-astringent by storing in carbon dioxide for some three to five days. Such fruits, however, have their keeping quality slightly impaired. The work under way at the division of pomology is to use carbon dioxide and in addition some other gases and vapors to determine their possible value in the removal of astringency without materially affecting their other market qualities. Preliminary work at the University of California in 1921 indicated that the national Bank of Artesia on Tuesday. Mr. and Mrs. George Martin were guests at the Robert Ollchrist home, Sunset Beach, on Monday.

Sweet Potato Growers Will Hold Field Day By RAYMOND ELLIS, Assistant Farm Advisor Sweet potato growers of Orange county will have a chance to hear a discussion of problems of the industry at the field day which will be held on October 29. This meeting will be held at the H. C. Hickman ranch, three miles west of Santa Ana, on Fifth street, and will consist of both morning and afternoon sessions. The morning session will open at 9:30, while the afternoon program will begin at 1:30. The storage of sweet potatoes is a very important problem, especially as it affects prices during the year. Some very interesting data has been prepared on relative price trends over the past 15 years and this information will be presented at the morning session, together with recommendations on storage houses and problems of storage of the product. The discussion of these problems will be led by Dr. J. T. Rosa of the division of truck crops. University of California. During the afternoon there will be a discussion of sweet potato diseases and their control. A good part of this control can be accomplished by selection of clean seed. There will be a field demonstration to show the proper method of seed selection. Pepper Growers And Buyers Meet By RAYMOND ELLIS, Assistant Farm Advisor Garden Grove was the scene of a very important pepper growers' and buyers' meeting on Thursday, October 21. The men were called together for the purpose of discussing plans to control the peper weevil in Orange county. To start the meeting, J. G. Elmore, entomologist of the United States department of agriculture, was introduced. He discussed the work and life history of the insect. He said that the pepper weevil is a first cousin to the cotton boll weevil and its work is much same on the pepper as the work of the litter on the cotton. It was also brought out that the pepper weevil only attacked the pepper, but that it hibernated in old debris of any kind. Elmore also stated that by actual count, female weevil laid from 300 to 530 eggs during a season, showing that it would not take very many overwintering adults to cause considerable damage during one crop. Roy Campbell, another United States Los Angeles now has 300,000 telephones. Attaining a mark in telephone development previously reached by only four other cities in the country—New York, Chicago, Boston and Philadelphia—Los Angeles metropolitan area, covering 214 square miles, now has one of the five largest telephone exchanges in America. A. G. Arnoll, secretary-manager of the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce, F. H. Steele, division superintendent of the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company, and N. R. Powley, vice-president and general manager of the Southern California Telephone Company, personally handled the installation of the 300-000th instrument in the new addition to the plant of the Goodyear Company at 6701 Central avenue. John Klein, telephone company's oldest installer in point of service, did the actual work of connecting up this all-important instrument and Mrs. Opal Gall, pretty telephone operator, obtained the first connection. Today the metropolitan area of Los Angeles has one telephone for every four people. According to General Manager Roy Campbell, another United States STATE WATER DANGER The most evident fact about the California legislative session was that people of California are alive to the danger of water famine. Whether the alarm that this arouses will result in a mad scramble for the "easy" water that is left or whether it will result in more intelligent, far-reaching and economical efforts to save and to store the water resources of the state remains to be seen. The answer depends very considerably on the handling of the coming sessions of the legislature. As it is, California has been getting visibly shorter and shorter of water for 10 years. And each year we have been tremendously increasing our total use of water. He discussed the work and life history of the insect. He said that the pepper weevil is a first cousin to the cotton boll weevil and its work is much the same on the pepper as the work of the litter on the cotton. It was also brought out that the pepper weevil only attacked the pepper, but that it hibernated in old debris of any kind. Elmore also stated that by actual count, each female weevil laid from 300 to 530 eggs during a season, showing that it would not take very many overwintering adults to cause considerable damage during one crop. Roy Campbell, another United States department of agriculture entomologist, followed Elmore, giving some of the history of the local infestation and emphasizing its seriousness. He recommended very strongly that the growers get together in some sort of an organization; start a strenuous clean-up campaign, and also lend some assistance to those who are experimenting on control measures. Campbell also said that they had made some favorable progress on the control of the weevil by dusting with calcium arsenate and sodium fluoride, but did not recommend either one as an absolute cure. After these two men had talked, a motion was made, seconded and carried, that a pepper growers' division of the Orange County Farm Bureau be organized and that a committee of seven growers and buyers be appointed to map out a campaign to control this pest. The committee appointed was E. J. Juratsch, Long Beach; H. Nelson, Santa Ana; J. A. Knapp, Garden Grove; R. E. Geren, Garden Grove; C. C. Taylor, Santa Ana; H. Tamure, Huntington Beach. The above named committee will meet on Thursday, October 28, to map out further plans for the fight. They have already planned a growers' field meeting at Talbert for 1:30 p.m., Wednesday, November 3.

John Klein, the telephone company's oldest installer in point of service, did the actual work of connecting up this all-important instrument and Mrs. Opal Cell, pretty telephone operator, obtained the first connection. Today the metropolitan area of Los Angeles has one telephone for every four people. According to General Manager Powley, on this basis the heart of the metropolis served by the 300,000 telephones has a population of 1,200,000. Coming from the Bell system, with a half-century reputation for conservative and accurate population estimates, this figure of 1,200,000 is telling evidence of the standing of Los Angeles among the great cities of the nation. Philadelphia now has about 325,000 telephones and Los Angeles is running close behind this veteran city. Los Angeles has more telephones than there were in the entire nation only thirty years ago, according to Mr. Powley. In July, 1923, but three years and two months ago, Los Angeles passed the 200,000 mark in telephones, and the addition of this third 100,000 telephones has been made more rapidly than in any other city of like size in the world. Looking back but five and one-half years, Los Angeles had exactly 150,000 telephones. The system has just doubled in size since January, 1921, a growth unparalleled in the history of the telephone. “五和一并半年的 ago,” said Powley, “Los Angeles exchange area was served by twenty-seven central offices. Today there are forty-four central offices serving this same area. While expressing the advance made in the social an industrial life of the city, the growth of the telephone system has meant a constantly increasing plant throughout the entire community. This year the company is spending in excess of $8,500,000 for construction and plant extensions and every one of the 600 employees is rendering a direct service to this city in his daily work.” DRESS WELL AND SUCCEED THE STORE OF QUALITY Manhattan THE SEVENTH SENSE Things are required in the merchandising of men's wearables; judgment in of quality, fabric, styling and tailoring.
