What It Costs to Educate Children Figures Show Average per Child in Schools of County "What price education?" The answer to this popular query is contained in a report made public by William John Cooper, state superintendent of public instruction, detailing the comparative costs in the various counties in the state. Orange county, incidentally, boasts one of the best school systems in the state, although its elementary school costs are below the state average, while its kindergarten and high school expenditures go slightly above normal. The average Orange county youngster of school age, costs the taxpayer $92.65 per year during the time he is acquiring the first rudiments of education in the kindergarten. When he reaches the elementary school the cost is slightly more, or $96.04 per year. In high school, each student means a charge against the taxpayers of $230.74 annually. The state per capita for kindergartens, the division in which Orange county is high, is $68.52, or $24.13 lower than Orange county's average. In the elementary schools, the classification in which Anaheim is low, the atte average is $97.01 or about 97 cents higher than the Orange county per capita. The state high school average only mounts to $190.19, while this county's figure reaches an average of $40.55 more per student per year.

The claims of ven- Potato Growers Hold Field Day Saturday October 15, has been set for the Southern California potato growers' field day and conference, according to announcement from the farm advisor's office. A field tour has been arranged by the Agricultural Extension Service to show the effect of fertilizer treatments and disease control work on a number of plots established by the University of California at Temecula. Potato growing has been increasing in acreage and popularity in a number of Southern California counties during the past few years, and Riverside county, along with others, has shown a considerable increase in acreage planted. Growers have found the crop a profitable one where planted on suitable soils and properly handled. As with any crop which is grown more generally, there is an increasing demand for information on cultural operations, fertilization, pest control, and best source of seed to mention some of the major ones. In order to consider these problems, the Agricultural Extension Service has arranged to hold a field day, October 15, at Temecula, 47 miles south of Riverside. Here extensive experiments have been carried on in fertilization, disease control in co-operation with Prof. J. T. Rosa of the College of Agriculture, cultural operations, etc. The morning will be devoted to a visit to the fields and discussions on cultural operations and fertilization by F. H. Ernst, assistant farm advisor of Los Angeles county. Lunch at noon by courtesy of the McSweeney ranch, following which a visit will be made to the plots on mosaic disease (curly top) control, which will be discussed by Professor Rosa. The common prevalence of this series trouble should make this part of the program of much interest to every grower. Meeting starts at 10 a.m. Anaheim Fumigator Draws Stiff Fine Heavy Increase Exports F Past Six Months' Best Since Peak Despite a decline in value of American exports six months of the year since 1921, as shown in by the foreign commune of the Chamber of Commerce United States.

The claims of vendors of mineral rods and other devices said to be effective in locating precious metals and buried treasure are considered fraudulent by the geological survey. The dip needle or miner's compass has been used with some success in prospecting for iron and other magnetic ores, but the successful use of such an instrument requires considerable experience in surveying, together with the ability to make accurate mathematical observations and deductions. Various types of electrical prospecting devices, the seismograph, and the torsion balance, have aroused considerable interest during the last few years. These devices, however, are most complicated and require the services of technical experts specially trained in their use. They would be of no service to one not versed in the principles of geology and physics. Anaheim Fumigator Draws Stiff Fine Charged with reckless driving, after the charge against him had been reduced from a charge of driving an automobile while under the influence of liquor, P. C. Squires, local fumigator, was fined $250 in Justice Kenneth Morrison's court on a plea of guilty. His wife, Mrs. Grace Squires, arrested at the same time, on a drunk charge, was given a 50-day suspended jail sentence and informed that if she was brought into the court again on a drunk charge that she would be forced to serve the time suspended. Both were arrested by State Traffic Officer George Peterkin, on the Irvine boulevard. They were lodged in the county jail Sunday night. Both Squires and his wife said they got their liquor from a sailor who was riding with them, and who was not held by the officers. Buy EDISON SECURITIES and Hold Them! The consensus of opinion in the Financial Press of America is that, due to the tremendous supplies of money on hand, investors, over the next few years, will be satisfied with an average return of 5% on high grade securities. Should these predictions materialize, holders of Edison Securities would be in an even more enviable position than at present.

Third St., Los Angeles Heavy Increase in Exports From U.S. Past Six Months' Figures Highest Since Peak in 1921 Despite a decline in prices, the total value of American exports for the first six months of the year was the largest since 1921, as shown in a bulletin issued by the foreign commerce department of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States. Exports for the first half of the year amounted to more than $2,333,000,000, being 7.2 per cent larger than a year ago. This record was accomplished, in spite of the fact that the average unit price of seventen items were lower than a year ago. "Exports of American finished manufactures," says the chamber, "exceeded $1,000,000,000 for the first time since the first half of 1921, a period of inflated prices. Notwithstanding the lower price level, gains in value among our fifty leading exports were registered by twenty-two out of thirty-three manufactured products, four out of seven manufactured foodstuffs, four out of five crude foodstuffs and three out of five raw materials. "Substantial increases occurred in exports of grains, fruits, nuts, textiles, chemicals, machinery, vehicles, timber, sawmill products and nonfetrous metals. Exports of meat, lard and petroleum products fell off." The foreign demand for American cotton was the heaviest in years. Fourteen-cent cotton—6 cents off last year's price—found foreign markets to the extent of nearly 5,250,000 bales, a 68 per cent increase over last year's first half total. Germany, with six months of steady industrial prosperity, was the largest buyer of our cotton, more than doubling her purchases of last year. Russia, China, Hongkong and Japan also greatly increased their purchases of cotton. Despite the drop in the price, the huge volume shipped abroad brought the total value up to $377,000,000 or $52,000,000 more than last year. Foreign demand for American auctions is now being made in experimental tests by the department to determine its hedge-making qualities in this country. Chinese Elm Proves Very Valuable Tree Among the many valuable contributions of northern China to American horticulture, the Chinese elm stands out as one likely to prove of increasing value to many sections of the United States, according to advice just received by the farm advisor's office from C. C. Thomas, chief of foreign plant introduction, United States department of agriculture. The three introduced in 1908 is now established in a number of places in this country, and the seeds and plants are offered for sale by several nurseries in the South and West. The Chinese elm is very hardy and has proved valuable under a greater variety of climatic and soil conditions than any tree yet introduced. Very favorable reports have been received from practically every section of the country, says Mr. Thomas. The tree has proved winter hard in most trials in the Dakota, Minnesota, New York Montana, and other northern states. Its resistance to drought, alkali, and extremes of temperature render it an especially valuable tree in the great plains region, where desirable shade trees are few; in the semi-arid South and Southwest, and in fact, in almost any portion of the continental United States. The tree is one of the first to leaf out in the spring and then to shed its leaves in the fall. Throughout the long season the leaves remain a beautiful green and are remarkably free from usual plant diseases and insect injuries in many of the other elms. As a shade, windbreak and avenue tree it has proved to be the most successful introduction of this kind thus far attempted. Aside from these uses, it is likely that it can be used as a hedge also. A recent report from one of the department's explorers in Manchuria states that the tree is used for hedges two to three feet high, in some instances being used for screens up to 12 or 15 feet in height. Cutting back at the desired height causes it to branch into form suitable for hedges. Efforts are now being made in experimental tests by the department to determine its hedge-making qualities in this country. Ivey to Lecture On Salesmanship Noted Speaker Will Conduct Institutes in Southland Delivering a series of lectures planned to analyze principles of salesmanship, develop producing salesmen, and aid in solving present-day merchandising problems. Dr. Paul Ivey, brought to the Southland by the University of Southern California, will conduct his fourth annual salesmanship institute during October and November in Los Angeles, Glendale, Long Beach and San Diego. Claimed by many to be the most dynamic lecturer in the United States, Dr. Ivey has demonstrated an unusual appeal to every type of audience, according to N. C. Howell of the Trojan university, who is organizing the Ivey Institute. His knowledge of commercial conditions throughout America, acquired by first-hand contacts with all types of business organizations during the past five years, is coupled with a magnetic personality and "human" side. He recently lectured before probably the largest group of grocers ever gathered together in one place when he addressed 4200 at Columbus, Ohio. Dr. Ivey headed a merchandising class of 1400 at Northwestern university. "A mind open to new ideas is essential to progress," says Dr. Ivey. "When people's minds were inflexible and static, we had what were known as the "Dark Ages." Salesmen with modern ideas are necessary—progressive men and women who inject new ideas into business and into life are community leaders." Dr. Ivey is recognized as one of America's foremost sales counselors. Among thirty leading commercial organizations who have employed his services are Marshall Field of Chicago, Southern Pacific Railroad Company, Associated Oil Company, and Barker Brothers of Los Angeles. This last summer he had full charge of the sales convention of the National Life Insurance Company of Vermont, one of the oldest in the United States, convening teen-cent cotton—6 cents off last year's price—found foreign markets to the extent of nearly 5,250,000 bales, a 68 percent increase over last year's first half total. Germany, with six months of steady industrial prosperity, was the largest buyer of our cotton, more than doubling her purchases of last year. Russia, China, Hongkong and Japan also greatly increased their purchases of cotton. Despite the drop in the price, the huge volume shipped abroad brought the total value up to $377,000,000 or $52,000,000 more than last year. Foreign demand for American automobiles brought our exports of trucks and passenger cars to new records. We shipped abroad 44,725 motor trucks and buses, not including electric, 56 per cent more than a year ago, and 169,000 passenger cars, 26 per cent more than in the first six months of 1926. The value of exports of automobiles, parts and accessories, except tires, was $212,078,000, nearly 23 per cent higher than last year, setting a new high water mark for a six months' period. "During this period we exported 45,833,000 bushels of wheat as compared with 27,857,000 a year ago, an increase of 65 per cent in volume. The average export price was $1.50 a bushel, 3 cents lower than last year, the total value amounting to $68,581,000 as against $42,576,000 in 1926. With a decrease of 71 cents a barrel, exports of wheat flour made a 23 per cent gain in value from $30,935,000 to $38,189,000. The quantity increased from 4,198,000 to 5,733,000 barrels or 37 per cent." State Farm Bureau Federation to Meet "A general invitation will be extended the public to attend the meeting of the California Farm Bureau Federation to be held at Riverside, October 31 and November 1 and 2." E. E. Campbell announced today on his return from attending a meeting of the executive committee of the federation in San Francisco. "This is the first time the state federation has met in Southern California and we are planning to show the delegates who will come from all over the state a mighty good time. We have lined up a good interesting program, and we are hoping there will be a large attendance of local people to greet the delegates as well. "A lot of folks think these state meetings are private affairs, but they are not," declared Mr. Campbell, who represents Orange county on the state directorate and is also member of the executive committee. "Of course, only the accredited delegates are allowed to vote, but we are always anxious to receive the constructive suggestions of any visitor. There is no admission charge either. "A strong committee of Riverside county is in general charge of the arrangements for the meeting. So far, the program not only includes talks by state authorities, but also a free barbecue and community stunts by the different counties on one evening of the and avenue tree it has proved to be the most successful introduction of this kind thus far attempted.

Demonstration Of Hay Grading A hay grading demonstration has been arranged for 1:30 p.m., October 10, at Newcom's feed store, Santa Ana, by the Agricultural Extension Service. Various lots of hay will be available to illustrate the different government grades. This demonstration will be of particular interest to dairymen and other buyers of hay, as it is proposed to institute federal grading and inspection here in Southern California in the near future. A federal inspector will be present to illustrate the different grades and to discuss inspection and grading service. Walnut Dehydrator Tour October 13 The status of walnut dehydration and comparative costs will be the subject of the annual walnut growers' tour, conducted by the Agricultural Extension Service and walnut growers' department of the farm bureau in Orange county, on Thursday, October 13. The several different types of walnut dehydrators used in Orange county will be visited by the growers on the tour, according to arrangements now being completed by the farm advisor.

"Of course, only the accredited delegates are allowed to vote, but we are always anxious to receive the constructive suggestions of any visitor. There is no admission charge either. "A strong committee of Riverside county is in general charge of the arrangements for the meeting. So far, the program not only includes talks by state authorities, but also a free barbecue and community stunts by the different counties on one evening of the three-day convention. "The hotels at Riverside have made a special rate for the week and the Chamber of Commerce has issued an information sheet on the housing conditions, showing the service and rates of everything from the Mission Inn to auto parks. Everybody up there is making an effort to make the meeting a pleasant success." E. J. Campbell will be the second speaker on the series of poultry talks over KWTC which is being sponsored by the Orange County Farm Bureau in their regular Friday evening radiocast. Mr. Campbell was an assistant farm advisor, specializing in poultry work in San Bernardino county, before becoming a successful poultryman of Garden Grove. He is in a position to combine theories with practical experience, and his talk will no doubt be of some interest. The farm bureau broadcasts a weekly program every Friday evening at 7:15. At the present time they are featuring a series of talks on poultry culture by different practical poultrymen of the county, affording poultry lovers an opportunity to benefit by their experiences. A man lives only once, at least in this world, and if we were in Glifford Pinchot's place we believe we'd make a desperate effort to get Uncle Andrew Mellon off our mind and get what fun we could out of our remaining years.

Beet Growers Receive Half Million Dollars The Santa Ana Sugar Company has completed distribution to beet growers of checks for beets delivered to the local factory for the month of August, the total distribution amounting to approximately $135,000. The price of beets is regulated by the percentage of sugar content and the price the factory receives for its product. The distribution this month was made on the basis of 5-cent sugar. Other payments will follow on October and November 15, with possibility of the November remittance cleaning up for the season. In event the company has not disposed of its product by that time, the final remittance will be made later. It is expected the Santa Ana plant will complete its run by the seventeenth instant, so far as concerns the grinding of beets, and that the cleanup process will require two or three days more, making the date of the general close-down about the twentieth instant. The mill is handling between 1200 and 1300 tons of beets daily. It was pointed out by a beet man that the value of this year's crop cannot be estimated at this time because of the factors entering into establishment of value, but it was predicted by one authority that beet growers of the county should receive close to $500,000.
