California Mecca of Visiting Motorists More Than Fifty-five Thousand Cars Tour State in 1926 California maintained her reputation as the playground of the world during 1926. The division of motor vehicles estimates that more than 220,000 motorists from other states and from foreign countries visited the state during the year. The estimate is based on a check of "foreign car" permits issued during the year, the total being 55,180. Frank G. Enook, chief of the division, believes these tourists spent at least $2,000,000 in the state during their respective sojourns here. Thousands of dollars were collected from them in gasoline tax to be used on the highways of the state and counties. California has one of the most liberal arrangements of any state in the Union for foreign cars. They may remain here for six months without taking out a license, provided their owners secure a permit on entering the state. Every state was represented, as well as nearly every foreign country. There were cars from Australia, Belgium, Guam, New Zealand, Porto Rico, as well as all the larger nations. Washington led with 9619. Oregon was second with 9200 and Arizona third with 3160. The far eastern states of Maine and Vermont sent 77 and 40 cars, respectively. Visitors were here from all the southern states. The complete list follows: Alabama... 52 Alaska... 33 Arizona... 3160 Arkansas... 270 Australia... 1 Baja... 2 Belgium... 1 Canada... 810 China... 3 Colorado... 2520 Connecticut... 180 Delaware... 12 District of Columbia... 120 El Salvador... 2 England... 3 Florida... 900 France... 4 Georgia... 42 Panama... 16 Pennsylvania... 830 Philippine Islands... 13 Porto Rico... 2 Rhode Island... 69 South Carolina... 7 South Dakota... 405 Tennessee... 108 Texas... 1980 Utah... 1200 Vermont... 40 Virginia... 85 Washington... 9619 West Indies... 1 West Virginia... 98 Wisconsin... 720 Wyoming... 450 Total... 55,180 Orchard Heaters Tested at Davis Seventeen types of orchard heaters, ranging from the lard pail type to the most improved smokeless kind, are being tested for efficiency at the branch of the College of Agriculture, University of California, according to the farm advisor's office. A. H. Hoffman of the division of agricultural engineering is in charge of the experiments. For the past year Hoffman has been working on methods of making accurate tests and has devised a radiation pyrometer which will measure the heat thrown off. The heaters also will be tested as to efficiency in the use of fuel, as shown by the smoke they throw off. An accurate means of obtaining graphs on the smoke has been designed, and a means for weighing it also has been worked out. Hoffman hopes to be able to tell growers which kinds of heaters can be operated most economically, which kind given the most heat in British thermal units and which will consume the most of the fuel used and consequently give off the least smoke. Hoffman hopes to have his tests completed and the results of his work published in time to be of service to the citrus growers during the coming winter and for the use of the deciduous orchardists of the state in the following spring.

A. Rudolph, assistant plant pathologist in the experimental station, and now located at San Jose, to study walnut blight. Rudolph, whose successful work on brown rot has saved great sums to apricot raisers of the state, hopes to find a control that will reduce to a minimum the heavy losses walnut orchardists of the state have suffered. For some years blight has been prevalent in the walnut groves of the state, but not until last year were its ravages so keenly felt. Growers of the state, individually and as members of the California Walnut Growers' Association, are co-operating financially and otherwise. Plans for the campaign to determine causes and remedy for the blight will be explained at the ninth annual Walnut Growers' Institute, March 5, at Tustin, according to Farm Advisor Wahlberg. An Englishman says that war debts are the cause of the unrest in Europe. But that isn't what is causing the unrest in China. Strange, Thrilling! Death Valley Tours. The Most Unique and Thrilling Trip in America DEATH VALLEY—mysterious, wierdly beautiful and hitherto inaccessible to tourists—is one of the strangest places on earth. From the The Most Unique and Thrilling Trip in America DEATH VALLEY—mysterious, wierdly beautiful and hitherto inaccessible to tourists—is one of the strangest places on earth. From the lowest, dryest spot on the continent—310 feet below sea level, you look up, over 14,500 feet to Mt. Whitney, the highest peak in the United States. You can now see Death Valley in real comfort. The Union Pacific now runs de luxe tours into Death Valley tri-weekly with through sleeping cars direct to Death Valley Junction and thence via comfortable Union Pacific motor busses to points of interest along the rim and on the floor of the valley, with headquarters at the beautiful new Furnace Creek Inn. Through sleepers leave Los Angeles on the Continental Limited at 6:05 p.m. every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Round trip fare and total expense from Los Angeles $56.25. See Death Valley on your way to or from the East Passengers to or from the east may make two days side trip through Death Valley all expenses paid, for $42.00.

BEEBE, Agent Union Pacific System Tel. 729 Settlement of Law Suit Announced Settlement of a $5125 law suit between William Sandersfield and H. D. Heineman, Olive ranchers, was announced in superior court when the case came up for trial before Judge E. J. Marks. The ranchers had compromised their differences out of court. It was said, terms of the settlement not being revealed. Sandersfield sued Heineman for damages, alleging that the latter had attacked him, struck him with a rock and threatened to kill him in a quarrel over an irrigation ditch gate. The gate is located between the ranches of the two men. Sandersfield claimed that it was on his property and was there to prevent overflow of his land from irrigation above his ranch. On May 23, 1925, he found it open and closed it. Then he got a pair of pilers and some wire and prepared to post a warning on the gate. He found Heineman there, he said. At Sandersfield's approach, Heineman demanded to know who had closed the gate. Sandersfield admitted he had done so, whereupon he alleged, Heineman picked up a rock and ruashed at him, hurling an oath and a threat to kill. Sandersfield fled. The rock overtook him, however, he said, badly injuring him. He continued his flight and outdistanced Heineman. Sandersfield was represented by Attorneys Tipton and Callor of Anaheim, with T. L. McFadden appearing for Heineman in the court proceedings. Avocado Growers Hold Conference Ray Frantz, president of the La Habra Farm Center, announces that the next meeting, on Friday evening, February 18, will be turned over to the avocado growers of Orange county for a discussion of what the future holds in store for the avocado industry. C. Winthrop Bowen, field representative for the Avocado Grower's Exchange, and Leigh Crosby, advertising manager, have been secured to speak on the important problems particularly with respect to regulated distribution of the big production due next year. All growers of Orange county interested in the growing of avocados are invited to attend. The meeting is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. at the Washington grammar school, La Habra. Citrus Growers to Hold Huge Meet The annual California Citrus Institute will be held at the Elks' Club, San Bernardino, Thursday, February 24, beginning at 9:30 a.m. As usual, the institute will be held during the National Orange Show at San Bernardino, under the auspices of the agricultural extension service and the citrus growers' department of the Southern California farm bureau. The meeting this year will be of intense interest to all citrus growers. H. C. Carr, vice-president, First National Bank, Porterville; F. O. Wallschlaeger, California Fruit Growers' Exchange, and J. S. Armstrong, assistant general manager, California Fruit Growers' Exchange, are to discuss "If I Were a Citrus Grower." These three talks will be given during the afternoon session. In the morning, tax and transportation problems will be discussed by J. J. Deuel, law and utilities department, California Farm Bureau Federation. Gordon Surr of the citrus experiment station will discuss at 10 a.m. some of the results of his investigational work on the subject of nitrates in the soil. Again! The Perk of Leader UNION-ETHYL Gasoline, like all other products that have won the public's favor in a dominating way, must bear the penalty of leadership. That is to be expected because leadership invariably involves the winning of trade in that line from others. These shifts are the inevitable marks of progress and no power can stop them. Union-Ethyl is better than any ordinary gasoline that we or any other makers have produced in the West. This is not because of any fault in anyone's good product, but due to the fact that the genuine Ethyl fluid adds certain qualities to gasoline that no other fuel can have without it—ours or any other maker's best. The results of these qualities are: Elimination of all "knocking;" faster pick-up; greater speed with in anyone's good product, but due to the fact that the genuine Ethyl fluid adds certain qualities to gasoline that no other fuel can have without it—ours or any other maker's best. The results of these qualities are: Elimination of all "knocking;" faster pick-up; greater speed with less vibration; smoother and more powerful hill-climbing abilities, and more flexibility in traffic than any other motor fuel has ever demonstrated before.

Such superiorities, improvements and betterments are simply prizes that the Natural Laws of Science award in recognition of progressive vision coupled with painstaking research and pioneering effort. Ten years were given to exhaustive study and experimentation by able scientists and 35,000 tests were made in one of the largest automotive laboratories in the world before the Ethyl fluid was finally perfected. Thus its leadership was earned through leadership in vision and effort. Such achievements are never the result of over-night magic. Neither men nor products rise quickly without a sound foundation. If you analyze their success, you invariably find that you must go far back to discover the begin- effort. Such achievements are never the result of over-night magic. Neither men nor products rise quickly without a sound foundation. If you analyze their success, you invariably find that you must go far back to discover the beginnings from which they worked forward, step by step—a long and tedious journey, which you'll agree deserves the leadership in the end.
