Numerous Accidents Over the Week-End Four Dead and Many Injured, Toll of Sunday Accidents The "grim reaper" took toll of four lives in the week-end accidents in Orange county. Two persons were drowned, one man died of heart failure while in bathing, and one was killed in an automobile accident. Many other accidents were reported throughout the county, and several persons were rescued from drowning at Orange county beach towns. The dead are: Andrew Cervantes, Mexican, 24 years of age, of 300 Sunset boulevard, San Gabriel, drowned at Anaheim Landing. Harry Payne Woodworth, 23, of Covina, heart failure while bathing near Anaheim Landing. David Beltram, Mexican, 16, of San Juan Capistrano, drowned at San Clemente. Samuel Norton, 50, Oceanside carpenter, killed when struck by automobile on the state highway near San Juan Capistrano. Cervantes" was swept out to sea while bathing at Anaheim Landing before the eyes of his mother, Mrs. Jeanla Cervantes. His body has not been recovered. The Long Beach pulmotor squad, which was called while a search was being made for the body, revived the mother, who swooned after seeing her son perish. Woodworth dropped dead in the surf a short distance away a few minutes later. The Long Beach pulmotor squad worked in vain to revive him. His body was taken to the S. L. Harrell funeral parlors in Huntington Beach, where an inquest was held yesterday afternoon by Coroner C. D. Brown. The coroner's jury reached a verdict of "death from valvular trouble of the heart." Beltram, 16-year-old Mexican youth of San Juan Capistrano, was swept to his death in the surf near San Clemente when he got beyond his depth. The lad could not swim, according to reports.

Barge Fishing Is Getting Popular Barge fishing for the many varieties of fish that inhabit the waters of the Pacific ocean in Southern California has developed into a pastime favored by thousands of anglers during the season, reports Capt. C. S. Bauder, in charge of the state fish and game commission's office here. Starting off with ont barge, located off Long Beach pier, in 1920, 17 are operating this season, A. B. Hohenshell, the pioneer in this venture explained. Hohenshell still operates a barge off the Long Beach pier and is regarded as an authority on this sport by the great number of fishermen who seek recreation in this fashion sometimes four and five times weekly. Ten barges operated off Redondo Beach last year; this old-timer says... Miss Dorothy Rapton, 11, of Ontario, was rescued from drowning in the surf at Huntington Beach Sunday morning by Fred Ott, lifeguard. The girl was unable to swim. A strong current caught her and was sweeping her under the pier at Huntington Beach when the lifeguard came to her rescue, according to reports. Miss Marian Davis, of 134 West Sixty-third street, Los Angeles, was rescued from drowning by lifeguards Delbert "Bud" Higgins and Fred Ott, near the pier at Huntington Beach.

A picnic supper was served at 6:30 o'clock, after which the young folk enjoyed the plunge and games. Born to Mr. and Mrs. Carl Shores of Homewood, a son. On Thursday evening, the Glen Crilly family and friends from Anaheim enjoyed a picnic supper at Newport: Mrs. O. C. Hanson, president of the Woman's Club, entertained the officers and chairmen at a 1 o'clock luncheon at the home of her mother; Mrs. William Van Loenen of Ninth street. After the luncheon, plans were made for next year. Those present were: Mrs. H. E. Warren, Mrs. J. F. Simpson, Mrs. Frank Jones, Mrs. W. B. Shaw, Bastady, Mrs. James Cole, Mrs. E. L. Starting off with ont barge, located off Long Beach pier, in 1920, 17 are operating this season. A B. Hohenshell, the pioneer in this venture explained. Hohenshell still operates a barge off the Long Beach pier and is regarded as an authority on this sport by the great number of fishermen who seek recreation in this fashion sometimes four and five times weekly. Ten barges operated off Redondo Beach last year, this old-timer says. Some of these were equipped to provide entertainment of various kinds for the fishermen, but Hohenshell insists that most of the customers come to the barges to fish and are not interested in other forms of amusement. Fishermen who fish with rod and line from the deck of the so-called barge (it is really a ship that has been retired from active duty and anchored at a spot where fish are likely to run), seek mackerel, bonita, barracuda, yellowtail, tuna and jewfish. Launches ply back and forth to the barges, and the crowd starts early in the morning and stays, many times until darkness settles down on the briny. The fishing ship, we will call it, as a matter of courtesy, is equipped with all safety devices. The laws are complied with, on the boat, under supervision of a barge master. An excited columnist writes: "A hostile European nation could send a thousand or two bomb-dropping air machines westward across the Atlantic today, and within forty-eight hours New York, Boston and Washington could be wiped out." This seems to be anticipating a bit. No European aeroplane has as yet made just such a trip, and no airplane as yet built could carry a load of bombs across the Atlantic; besides no European or other nation has a thousand bomb-dropping planes. And by the time the machines, the bombs and the flyers are ready to start they might face a little bombing from as many airplanes arising on this side of the Atlantic." ANAREIM GAZETTE Citrus Spraying Discussed at School Experts Give Valuable Information at Glendora Institute Spraying, particularly with heavy oils, was the center of the major part of the program of the Citrus Institute and Pest Control School held at Citrus Union high school, near Glendora, June 24 and 25. Other features, such as discussion of cultivation and irrigation practices, were also given considerable attention. The opening discussion was given by W. R. Schoonover, citrus specialist of the extension service. He was followed by Frank Daybell, consulting horticulturist of Tulare county, and W. M. Mertz, manager of the David Hewes estate in Orange county. Observations of these men showed that in many cases orchards were harmed by excessive cultivation, one example being brought up of a citrus orchard which was in a thriving condition in spite of the fact that it had not been cultivated for 12 years. It was pointed out that the object of cultivation was to kill weeks and not to conserve moisture. I. G. McBeth of Whittler recommended that actual tests of moisture content of the soil were the only correct basis for determining irrigation dates. Presentation of figures on costs of production of Malencia oranges by H. E. Wahlberg, farm advisor of Orange county, caused a great deal of discussion. He found that on 24 groves studied, the average profit was $3 cents a box after 72 cents had been expended for labor and materials, and $3 cents deducted for interest and depreciation. Excessive amounts of borax (boron) in the soil was found to be the cause of injury to trees in some localities, according to S. M. Brown of the citrus experiment station. The material comes in from deposits in the mountains through irrigation water or from packing houses, where it is used in washing fruit, he said. Lime applications and leaching with water were suggested remedies. R. S. Wogum recommended heavy oil spray as the most satisfactory control for pests and simple infestation worse than ever. His figures showed that for a single treatment oil spray was most effective. J. R. LaFollette and W. E. Landon, assistant entomologists of the California Fruit Growers' Exchange, reported exceptionally good results from the use of heavier types of refined oil sprays on red spiders. The lighter oils gave a less lasting control, they reported. The recommendation was for a heavy oil at 2 per cent from August on through the fall, which would hold the pest in check until the following summer. A light oil for late work on oranges, was Mr. La Follette's recommendation for districts near the coast. A. A. Brock, horticultural commissioner of Orange county found oil spraying followed by fumigation as the best pest control program in his district. Mealy bug is being controlled by crystolaemus parasites most effectively. Some trouble in coloring and keeping qualities following oil spraying was mentioned by J. A. Prizer of the Placentia Orange Growers' Association. It was the general opinion, however, that so far there was not sufficient evidence to use this as a basis for recommendations. White fly being carried on by the state department of agriculture was reported by D. B. Mackie. He reported that great progress had been made. It was estimated that 500 people attended the meeting. All seemed well pleased with the program presented. Need Air and Water To Prevent Decay The life of buildings, fences, and wooden parts of farm machinery is often shortened unnecessarily by lack of attention to the prevention of weathering and decay. These two forms of wood destruction may be more readily combatted when thoroughly understood, according to word from the farm advisor's office. Wood exposed to the action of air, sun and rain is likely to warp and twist out of shape with a resultant checking and cracking. This is called weathering. It can be stopped by paint properly applied to seasoned wood. Decay, on the other hand, is caused by fungi which grow in wood and destroy it as they grow. It was formerly believed that wood rotted is simply because the real truth is that the fungi... Excessive amounts of borax (boron) in the soil was found to be the cause of injury to trees in some localities, according to S. M. Brown of the citrus experiment station. The material comes in from deposits in the mountains through irrigation water or from packing houses, where it is used in washing fruit, he said. Lime applications and leaching with water were suggested remedies. R. S. Woglum recommended heavy H spray as the most satisfactory control for resistant red scale infesting lemons, though he advised following with fumigation if possible. If only one treatment could be applied, he advised the use of the oil. Conditions of control of black scale are better than usual this year, according to H. J. Ryan, horticultural commissioner of Los Angeles county. He mentioned, however, that in the past whenever control had been exceptionally good for a year, growers immediately stopped spraying, with the result that the next few years conditions were SAFEWAY STORES DISTRICTION WITHOUT WASTE Fresh Cocoanuts Fancy South Sea Island Each 10c EXTRA LARGE 15c Del Monte Catsup A Real Safeway Saving PINT BOTTLE 15c Jello Assorted Flavors 3 PACKAGES 25c Biggest Dollars Worth in America Your Choice or Assorted Tomatoes—Highway Brand No. 2½ can Hominy—Highway Brand No. 2½ can Peas—Highway Brand No. 2 can Kidney Beans—B & M Brand No. 2 can Garbanzas—B & M Brand No. 2 can Spaghetti—Beechnut Bran 18-oz. can Biggest Dollars Worth in America Your Choice or Assorted Tomatoes—Highway Brand ...
