Planting Pheasants Throughout State Chinese Ring-Neck Birds Being Introduced in California It won't be long now until the 1927 planting of Chinese ring-neck pheasants will be under way. Birds at the state game farm will soon be loaded on trucks and when the chosen spot has been reached, off come the tops of the crates, then a riot of colorful plumage, a whir of flashing wings and the birds will be off on their mission of developing a brand new game bird for California. Up at Yountville, 12 miles above Napa, where August Bade, the superintendent of the game farm, is preparing for a banner year, things are going fine, according to the information reaching the executive offices of the fish and game commission. Birds are hatching at the rate of about 800 a week. In the big enclosure where the baby gamesters will be brought to the proper age for liberating, all of the things that will make the young birds feel at home are ready. Seven and a half acres are under wire, the top being six and a half feet from the ground. Here is found the sort of cover and green vegetation that the birds love in their native state. An ingenious device perfected by Bade allows 12 of the 24-foot pens to be supplied with water at the same time. To cool the pens and irrigate the cover, sprays are used and by a twist of the same valve 12 little fountains start trickling water into the sand and rocky drinking places arranged for the birds. Each day clean sand and rocks are placed in the pens. To these pens the baby pheasants are taken and given over to mother hens, the regular domestic type. Almost immediately the little ones start foraging, straying to the limits of the enclosure. As they get older they become wilder, and when turned loose are ready to battle with the world as though born in some lonesome nest far from the haunts of man. Preying incessantly on the insects that are attracted by the green stuff Southern California Athletic Activities The famous L.C. 4-A trophy which has been in the keeping of the Southern California track team for the past two seasons, started its journey to Philadelphia last Saturday afternoon. Trojan officials are sending the $1500 cup to the scene of the 1927 meet so it may be on display before the affair; May 27 and 28. It requires five victories to win permanent possession of the cup. Cornell has four wins to its credit, copping in 1915, 1916, 1918 and 1919. There was no meet in 1917. Pennsylvania won in 1920, California in 1921, 1922 and 1923; Yale in 1924, and Southern California in 1925 and 1926. The Trojans believe that if they can win this year they have the cup clinched, because the 1928 and 1929 teams will be far enough superior to the present team to warrant expectations to win in those seasons. John Scott, captain of the University of Arizona track team, who recently defeated Charles Paddock in a special 220-yard dash at the Greenway celebration in Phoenix, will enter the Pacific Coast Intercollegiate championships in Los Angeles, June 3 and 4. It was recently announced. Scott will run against Charles Borah and Captain Ed House of Southern California, Fred Richman of Stanford, Homer Van Gelder of California, Dean Anderson of Washington, Captain Murray Schultz of Cal-Tech, and others. Scott runs consistently under 22 seconds. Scoring 167 out of a possible 210 points, Howard Elliott, quarterback, won the Southern California kicking contest last week. Elliott completes his competition for the Trojans next fall. Elliott was first in both kicking for accuracy and field goal kicking. Accuracy booting was done from the 50-yard line, with 100 points a perfect score. Elliott made a 77. He counted 19 out of 20 field goals from the 25-yard mark for a score of 57 out of a possible 60. He ranked third in kicking for distance. The highest score possible here was 50. Elliott's mark was 33. Tommy Wilcox, a sophomore, scored 39 and Don Williams, junior, UNCLE SAM'S What is the remedy for ippi flood problem?

As they get older they become wilder, and when turned loose are ready to battle with the world as though born in some lonesome nest far from the haunts of man. Preying incessantly on the insects that are attracted by the green stuff in the pens, the pheasants learn early the things that will make them so valuable as game birds. They are regarded by farmers throughout the country as the friend of plant life. Their warefare on insects make them invaluable. The birds eat waste grain and green stuff, but seldom bother any domestic products as long as insects are available. Pheasants are heavy and hardy. A grown ring-neck will weigh around three pounds, and due to its speed and peculiar wing action is a difficult bird to shoot. Its strength makes it hard to stop, and they are regarded as fine game for the hunter, as well as fine food when brought down. There is no open season on pheasants in California and will not be until the birds have had an opportunity to multiply and adapt themselves to the new environment. No birds will be liberated until areas are carefully inspected by the game farm officials, and the owners of the land have agreed to aid in the protection and post the boundaries of the planting site with signs which read as follows: WARNING California Fish and Game Commission has stocked these grounds with pheasants and other game birds. No Trespassing, Hunting or Shooting. No dogs allowed on these premises. Violators will be prosecuted under Section 627 of the Penal Code of the State of California. Obey the law; avoid the penalty, and protect fish and game. Officials of the fish and game commission are highly optimistic regarding the future of the pheasant and predict that it will soon become the great game bird of California. Proper Thinning Of Sugar Beets By RAYMOND ELLIS Assistant Farm Advisor During a recent visit of W. W. Robbins, instructor at the University of California and a former sugar beet grower of Colorado, a very close study of field conditions of sugar beets was made in several sections of this county. From this survey we found that the one operation which is limiting the production of beets more than anything else is that of proper thinning. Of course, many growers are attempting to grow the crop only on the poorer land with the resultant poor yields, but aside from that, proper thinning has more to do with the tonnage of beets. Now Time to Thin Deciduous Fruits Now is the time to thin apricots and peaches in order that the greatest results may be obtained when harvest time comes around, according to the agricultural extension service. Trees that are producing too large a crop will be more or less permanently weakened and will bear poor crops succeeding years. Thinned fruit is more uniform in size, texture, color and flavor. Apricots respond very well to thinning, says the farm advisor. Ordinarily, apricots should not be closer than three to five inches apart. Two fruits are occasionally left on opposite sides of the same branch if they will not touch each other when mature. Trees that are long pruned will need thinning to prevent severe breakage. This can very easily be done by using a long pole with a foot and a half or two feet of rubber hose fastened to the end. The rubber hose acts as a flail and can be used very advantageously. Peaches respond the best of any deciduous fruit to thinning. Remember that a two and one-half inch peach is required for first grade, according to the canning association standards. A two-inch peach weighs just one-half as much as a two and one-half inch peach. Peaches should be four to six inches apart at harvest time. One important consideration is that thinning does not reduce tonnage at harvest time. This fear has kept many growers in the past from thinning, but such is not the case. When you consider that it takes two 2-inch peaches to equal one ½-inch peach, and that the two and one-half inch peach will bring you more money than the two smaller individuals, the economy of thinning can readily be seen. A material saving will also result in picking, packing and handling charges, with a smaller number of fruits to be handled. First Annual Champions During a recent visit of W. W. Robbins, instructor at the University of California and a former sugar beet grower of Colorado, a very close study of field conditions of sugar beets was made in several sections of this county. From this survey we found that the one operation which is limiting the production of beets more than anything else is that of proper thinning. Of course, many growers are attempting to grow the crop only on the poorer land with the resultant poor yields, but aside from that, proper thinning has more to do with the tonnage of beets produced than anything else. The ideal spacing distance for sugar beets is 12 inches in the row, with only one beet at each place. In making the survey, counts were made not only of the number of beets in 100 feet of row, but also of the number of doubles present. The average stand throughout the county ran around 70 per cent, with 20 to 25 per cent doubles in many cases. Inasmuch as many of the fields had practically a perfect germination stand to start with, the low percentage can only be blamed onto poor and inefficient thinning. In marked contrast to the average stand was one field which, when counted, gave five counts of 100 to 102 plants to 100 feet of row, with only 10 per cent doubles. Upon inquiry, it developed that the owner had employed a man to superintend the 10 laborers who were doing the thinning. Apparently the owner will be amply repaid for his extra expense. It has been proven over and over that growers can increase their yield by two or three tons per acre by good thinning. This operation should include not only proper spacing, but the elimination of as many doubles as possible and the leaving of the big beet. Smith for President Club has been organized with the slogan "Al can beat Cal." The trouble with such a slogan is that it souds just as well in reverse, and probably a little more convincing. The spring of the year used to be the time for the appearance of bock beer and sassafras tea. Well, we still have the sassafras tea. UNCLE SAM'S BIG JOB What is the remedy for the Mississippi flood problem? Not reforestation, checking the seaward flow of excessive rainfall, though that will help. Not reservoirs in the upper rivers, holding back the headwaters and incidentally promoting navigation and furnishing industrial power, though that factor too is important. The big remedy, declares Major General Jadwin, chief of army engineers, after a survey of the situation, is simply an extension of the natural, obvious remedy already adopted—levees or dikes to hold the river within its banks. The current belief that levees tend to raise the river bed, so as to form an elevated trough, and thus make it necessary to raise the banks higher and higher is wrong, says Major General Jadwin. Surveys over half a century show that the bed of the Mississippi has not been raised appreciably. Rake the banks, therefore, above flood height, and floods will pass off harmlessly. This, as he observes, is a national task, because if it is done properly the banks will have to be raised uniformly, according to harmonious plans, in several states. This will cost what would seem a vast sum to any locality or state in the flood-threatened section. There have been, from first to last, ORDINANCE NO. 506 AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM, AMENDING ORDINANCE NO. 340, ENTITLED "AN ORDINANCE FIXING THE COMPENSATION OF THE MARSHAL AND DEPUTY MARSHALS OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM," BY ADDING A NEW SECTION, TO BE NUMBERED SECTION 3. THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM DO ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1. That a new section be added to Ordinance No. 340 of the City of Anaheim, to read as follows: Section 3. The Marshal shall appoint, subject to the approval of the Board of Trustees of the City of Anaheim, one deputy marshal, to be in charge of the Identification Bureau of the City of Anaheim, which deputy marshal shall perhaps $200,000,000 spent on Mississippi levees, of which the national government has spent about $75,000,000. What the new works recommended will cost is not stated, but call it $100,-000,000. That would be less than one dollar apiece for the American people, most of whom contribute to the Mississippi, in drainage from their sections, some of the water that does the damage. It is a trifle compared with the billions voted for the recent war. We can better afford to fight nature, in this constructive way, than to do any other kind of fighting.
