Thousands Inquire About Southland People From All Sections Are Seeking Information Breaking all records since the beginning of the advertising of Southern California, more than 250,000 inquiries have been received by the All-Year Club of Southern California about the Southland and about the separate counties. The figures are from September 15 of last year, when the fall advertising began, to the end of June of this year. They include the winter and the summer campaigns. Inquiries for the summer are still being received in steady volume. The announcement of the figures was made by C. G. Milham, executive secretary of the club. Supplementary to the letters received direct by the All-Year Club, thousands of persons have asked the Automobile Club of Southern California for road maps and other information to help them in driving their cars here. These letters result from the work that the automobile club and the All-Year Club have been doing over a period of years publicising the motor delights of Southern California. This spring the All-Year Club printed a four-column road map of the United States in 1100 newspapers, telling of the conditions here, and the automobile club agreed to send road maps and complete data to all who saw the advertisement and were moved by it to come to California. It brought thousands of inquiries. These were answered by the Automobile Club of Southern California at a cost of thousands of dollars, and all for the general good of the Southland. Each of the inquiries made of the All-Year Club was answered with a personal letter and with a copy of the booklet, "Southern California—Year-Round Vacation Land Supreme." The number of inquiries about the Southland and various counties follows: commissioner of education, was a great baseball and football player in his college days.

Heavy Expenditures On New Highways New highway construction and improvements in the 11 western states during the next year will be on a broader scale than ever before in history, according to tabulations of estimated incomes for road purposes. Approximately $180,000,000 will be expended during the coming 12 months on intensive road construction as a preliminary to a long term of "pay as you go" state highway programs. California will lead the band in the amount of new funds for state roads.

Phone 217 Heavy Increase in Resources of Banks First National and American Savings Show Big Gain Following the call of the controller of the currency for statements of condition of all the banks at the close of year, directors of the First National business on June 30, end of the fiscal bank and the American Savings Bank found business so prosperous that they per cent, which means an annual dividend of 10 dend of 20 per cent. Checks to the amount of $25,000 are now in the mail for the fortunate stockholders. These banks are looking forward to even better business, as there is an upward trend to all industries and the prospect is bright for the fall months. At the close of business on June 30, the total resources of the two banks was $4,812,175.15. A year ago, when the controller called for a statement, the combined resources were $4,145,645.51. This shows an increase during the year of $666,529.64. These figures show that the banks are not only flourishing, but that the business transacted in a town and community is prospering. The volume its surroundings is measured by its bank statements, and when they show a substantial upward trend it means that the community is prospering. Heavy Walnut Crop Reveals Weak Trees By H. E. WAHLBERG, Farm Advisor Now is the time to mark the weak branches of walnut trees for permanent wire bracing next winter. The heavy crop of this season is exposing the weak limbs that are difficult to pick out under normal conditions. There has been considerable breakage during the last two or three weeks, and there will be more, unless proper precautions are taken to brace the limbs at least temporarily with wood heavy crops from time to time do enough damage to more than pay for the cost involved in such insurance. Most walnut growers are now regretting that they have not taken this precaution. The lumber bill incurred this season, for temporary props would have paid for much of the permanent wiring system. The present situation, however, has its advantages. It is disclosing the weak parts of the tree. There may be only one or two or three weak limbs that need attention and bracing. Most of these have been propped temporarily with 2x2s or 2x3s. Now is a good time to mark these limbs with a white dab of paint. A paint brush fastened to a long stick would serve the purpose effectively. Following harvest, then, these same limbs could be permanently wired. No and No. 11 galvanized wire are recommended for the heavier and lighter tensions. No. 00 and No. 000 oxy-screws are suitable for the average strain. It is important that the wires are placed fairly well up on the limbs to reduce tension, but not too far up to produce an excessive bow or bending. The center ring, which is used to equalize the strain from all directions, may be a two-inch harness ring or a large iron washer, say 1½ inch or 2 inches in diameter. The latter are the cheaper and can be bought by the pound. Soil Congress Visits California This Week By H. E. WAHLBERG, Farme Advisor This week a special chartered train is carrying delegates of the first international soil congress through California, stopping at places of scientific interest and significance to soil science. Official delegates appointed by 30 foreign governments and a large representation from the colleges of agriculture, the agricultural experiment stations of this county and the United States department of agriculture are in the group. The various scientific societies and academies of science are also represented by official delegates. The congress opened its sessions at Washington on June 13 when Mo.; June 28, Kansas City, Mo., and La Crosse, Kansas; June 29, La Crosse, Kansas; June 30, Tribune, Kansas; and Ordway and Pueblo, Colo.; July 1, Denver, Colo.; July 2, Canon City, Utah; July 4, Las Vegas, Nevada; and Barstow, Calif.; July 5, Riverside, Calif.; July 6, Mo-jave and Trona, Calif.; July 7, Fresno, Calif.; July 8, Berkeley, Calif.; July 9, Corvallis and Portland, Ore.; July 10, Portland, Ore., and Seattle, Wash.; July 11, Vancouver, B.C.; July 12, Jasper, Alberta; July 13, Edmonton, Alberta; July 14, Saskatoon, Regina, and Indian Head, Saskatchewan; July 15, Brandon and Winnipeg, Manitoba; July 16, Crookston and Moorhead, Minn.; July 17, St. Paul, Minn.; July 18, Nevada and Des Moines, Iowa; July 19, Moline, Ill.; July 20, Chicago, Ill.; July 21, La-Fayette and Lebanon, Ind., and Cinchinati, Blanchester, and Columbus, Ohio; July 22, leave Columbus, Ohio; and arrive back in Washington at 5:65 p.m. and in New York at 11 p.m. While in California the congress will be in charge of the staff of the college of agriculture and the experiment station. Desert soils will be studied in the Mojave desert on July 4; fertilizer experiments and alkali reclamation work at Riverside July 5 and 6; San Joaquin soil series and alkali reclamation at Kearney ranch, Fresno, July 7; and visit the college of agriculture, Berkeley, July 8. The extension service in Orange county will be represented at Riverside by the farm advisor and Assistant Ellis. The slices of lemon usually served as a garnish with fish, whether it is broiled fried, or baked, are not merely a decoration. They are meant to furnish the lemon juice which makes the fish more appetizing, and incidentally to increase the supply of vitamin "C" in the meal. Many people prefer to pass the lemon separately rather than to garnish the platter with it. The slices of lemon are especially attractive if sprinkled with chopped parsley. Heavy Walnut Crop Reveals Weak Trees By H. E. WAHLBERG, Farm Advisor Now is the time to mark the weak branches of walnut trees for permanent wire bracing next winter. The heavy crop of this season is exposing the weak limbs that are difficult to pick out under normal conditions. There has been considerable breakage during the last two or three weeks, and there will be more, unless proper precautions are taken to brace the limbs at least temporarily with wood props. It is somewhat late to do much wiring at this time. The branches are much out of position and any wiring done now will have to be readjusted after harvest; that is, the wires shortened to take up the excessive slack that will occur this fall. It is generally desirable to do the wiring when a good deal of the weight of the foliage is still on the branches. Experience has shown that wiring done when the tree is entirely defoliated in the dormant season, has a tendency to hold the tree structure too compact. In other words, the wiring will hold the limbs in the upright position assumed during the dormant period when there is no weight on them. This will not allow a partial spreading of the limbs to afford a better penetration of sunlight through the dense foliage. It is therefore desirable to wire while the limbs are still somewhat open to encourage more sunlight, which is fundamentally the basic factor of fruit bud formation. The average grower has not considered bracing of importance, but the as you go" programs state highway departments in the west believe that more efficient and systematic development will be the rule in the future than in the past. This week a special chartered train is carrying delegates of the first international soil congress through California, stopping at places of scientific interest and significance to soil science. Official delegates appointed by 30 foreign governments and a large representation from the colleges of agriculture, the agricultural experiment stations of this county and the United States department of agriculture are in the group. The various scientific societies and academies of science are also represented by official delegates. The congress opened its sessions at Washington, D.C., on June 13, when President Coolidge welcomed the guests. In his address of welcome, President Coolidge said that the interchange of ideas and personal association in international gatherings could not but be productive of a better understanding among peoples and ultimately lead to a more universal desire for peace among nations. Stating that the United States has not yet been forced to intensive study of land utilization, he saw the time coming when, with nearly all our fertile land under cultivation, increased production must come from larger acreage yields rather than from greater acreage. After adjournment of the congress, the foreign delegates left Washington on a special train for a trip across the continent for observation of the agricultural and soil conditions in this country and part of Canada. This tour will cover 30 days. It will take the delegates over the principal soil regions and cropping sections of the United States and Canada. During the period of the tour the foreign delegates will be guests of the American organizing committee of the congress.

Disposal of waste waters in the oil fields at Brea has been a problem hard of solution, and the oil companies have requested permission to drain the waste to the ocean by using the outfall. Negotiations have been under way for some months and a tentative contract has been drawn. One of the conditions of the contract is that the oil companies must eliminate from the water all oil and other substances that may be injurious to the pipe line. Engineers of the municipalities have estimated that $1000 a month will compensate the interested communities for allowing the companies use of the sewer lines. It is possible this amount will be agreed on as proper compensation, although discussions by Santa Ana monthly charge should be increased councilmen intimated belief that the enough to pay for a full-time investigator to take charge and to take samples daily of the liquid poured into the lines from the oil district. Waters from the oil district are to be turned into the lines only at night, and reservations are made that will make it possible to eliminate the service should other sanitary districts later want to join in the joint activity.
