Oil Man Meets Death In Automobile Crash Roy Smith of Long Beach Instantly Killed in Accident Explaining that they were dazed in the automobile accident near Smeltzer early Saturday morning, which took the life of Roy Smith. 38, Long Beach oil worker, Pearl Wlasick, 44, and Mable Fisher, 45, companions of Smith at the time he was killed, appeared at the sheriff's office late Saturday night and made reports concerning the accident. Both women disappeared from the scene of the accident soon after it occurred and were the object of a search by officers Saturday. Smith was killed when the machine which he was driving collided with a car driven by John H. Weaver, Anaheim, Route No. 3. The woman and Jack Parrott, Long Beach oil worker, were in the Smith car at the time. Parrott was rushed to the Santa Ana Valley hospital, where he is still confined, suffering from severe cuts about the head. The women were not hurt. According to F. W. Howard, chief criminal deputy sheriff, an investigation of the accident, just completed by the sheriff's office, will show that Smith was in the act of turning around in the road when his car was struck by the Weaver machine. Howard said he obtained this information from one of the women in the machine. Both women reported they knew little about the accident and that they wandered off in the fields nearby after the collision, finally returning to the road, where they obtained a ride into Long Beach. Neither of the women knew the other woman before the accident, according to Mr. Wlasick. Walnut Cover Crop For Winter in Order By HAROLD E. WAHLBERG Farm Advisor After most of the leaves have fallen from the trees they ought to be disksed Fair Association Elects New Officers Junior Fair Will Be Added Attraction Next Year Election of officers and revamping of the fair organization, including the launching of a junior fair to be held in connection with the annual main event, was accomplished by the fair association at its meeting Friday night at the fair grounds. H. A. Lake, of Garden Grove, was elected chairman of the board, for his fourth term. J. R. Hunt was re-elected secretary-manager for the third time; S. W. Stanley of Tustin was named vice-president, and Frank Purinton, mayor of Santa Ana, was elected treasurer. The fair organization was divided into eight sections, with a head for each, as follows: Mrs. J. V. Kelsey of Garden Grove, premium list and women's department; George Keillgrr Yorba Linda, agricultural division; Te'Craig, Brea, entertainment and junior fair; S. W. Stanley, Tustin, livestock, poultry, rabbits and pigeons; Frank Purinton, road and gates; John Ragan, Orange, horse and dog shows; Ralph McFadden, Placentis, guards and tickets; H. A. Lake, Garden Grove accounting; J. R. Hunt, industrial exhibit, concessions and automobile show. The junior fair is a new department in fair circles, "a fair within a fair," as described by Secretary Hunt. It will be developed by the boys and girls of the county and will have a separate tent of its own. This department of the fair will cover juvenile farm clubs, under leadership of Ray Ellis, assistant farm advisor; school exhibits in charge of Hazel Nell Bernis, of Santa Ana, and Boy Scout exhibits in charge of Roland Dye, county scout executive.

WAHLBERG Farm Advisor After most of the leaves have fallen from the trees they ought to be disked under and incorporated in the soil so as to make way for the winter cover crop. Although no measurable results have been obtained from the application of fertilizer materials to walnut trees, it is conceded that an annual winter cover crop is a cheap source of organic material which will keep the soil in a good tilth condition. Organic material supplied by the cover crop will materially improve the physical texture of the surface foot or so of soil. Any of the legumes are desirable, such as Mellotus indica, purple vetch and horse beans. The grower's own experience with each or all of these crops should guide him in the choice of variety. If good tonnage has been obtained from the use of any one of these, that one may be continued as long as it gives good results. If the yield runs down appreciably, some other variety should be planted. The seed should not be planted until most of the leaves have fallen and are turned under. The use of non-legumes, such as rye, barley, or wheat, is not desirable. The tonnage from non-legumes, mustard for example, may be comparatively large, but they are not as good soil builders as the legumes that have the advantage of "fixing" nitrogen from the air. Winter planting is better than late spring for several reasons. In the first place, the winter cover crop competes less for moisture, making use of the season's rains. Secondly, the early turning under of the crop while still succulent in the spring will provide an earlier supply of organic matter for the soil. The practice of letting the cover crop reach complete maturity, until the woody structure is formed, the benefits are greatly delayed. SUNKIST ADVERTISING It is interesting to know that the California Fruit Growers' Exchange gives much credit to advertising for the great sales business the organization has been able to build up, and this fact is getting general recognition in business circles. In a recent issue of the Editor and Publisher is found a story about it, a part of which is reprinted here: "California Fruit Growers' Exchange has spent $8,914,837 in advertising in 20 years, and during that period a gross sale of $1,089,859,351 has resulted, according to the annual report recently made to the directorate by W. B. Gelssinger, advertising manager. The rent of its own. This department of the fair will cover juvenile farm clubs, under leadership of Ray Ellis, assistant farm advisor; school exhibits in charge of Hazel Nell Benis, of Santa Ana, and Boy Scout exhibits in charge of Roland Dye, county scout executive." California Ranks Among Leaders Financial Statement Issued by Collector of Revenue Analysis of the preliminary statement recently issued by the Internal Revenue Bureau at Washington showing collections made during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1927, indicates that California still maintains a leading place among the 48 states of the Union so far as the payment of federal taxes is concerned. Total internal revenue collections made in California during the last fiscal year were $139,488,418.25. Total internal revenue collections made during the previous year were $135,060(004.93). This represents an increase of nearly $400,500,000, or over 3 per cent and indicates that the net income of the citizens of California during the past year was the greatest in the history of the state, which now ranks seventh in population, according to the estimate of the bureau of census. Here are some of the high lights as shown by the statement: California ranks third in the issue of capital stock and bonds of indebtedness, $1,543,792,100 worth of such securities being issued during the year. California ranks fourth in amount of individual income taxes collected—amount was $51,400,718.84. This is $11.90 for every man, woman and child in the state. This is the best investment made by any citizen of California when consideration is given to what he received from the federal government, i.e. Protection of life and property by the army and navy at home and abroad. Payment on interest on national debt Postoffice service. Preservation of national resources Custom house service. Coast guard service. Maintenance of diplomatic service abroad. Protection of national banking system. Guarding public health through quarantine regulations. The above are only a few of the many services rendered by the federal government. Ranks fourth in taxes collected on admissions to places of amusement where the admission charged is 75c or over. Total tax collected, $1,357,746.30. This means that the people of California spent $13,577,463 for theatre tickets California Fruit Growers' Exchange gives much credit to advertising for the great sales business the organization has been able to build up, and this fact is getting general recognition in business circles. In a recent issue of the Editor and Publisher is found a story about it, a part of which is reprinted here: "California Fruit Growers' Exchange has spent $8,914,837 in advertising in 20 years, and during that period a gross sale of $1,089,859,351 has resulted, according to the annual report recently made to the directorate by W. B. Geissinger, advertising manager. The return to California in the same score of years is estimated at $783,000,000." "With higher wages, shorter hours, and more leisure, the luxuries of yesterday have become the necessities of today, and we have a new and keener competition for the consumer's dollar, hence a greater advertising problem than ever before," said Mr. Geissinger. Twenty years ago Sunkist was the first perishable food product advertised. Today there are a dozen or more directly competing fruits with us on the advertising pages. Competition is judged to be keenest among food commodities. We can possess more clothes, automobiles, or a better home, as we can afford them, but the human stomach will hold only 3600 calories of food per day, regardless of earning power. We can eat no more on $10,000 a year than we can on $2000, but we can be more selective in our foods. "We believe that we have an exceptionally well rounded campaign in prospect and that in 'acidosis,' a subject fresh from the research laboratory and with real news value we can capture public interest and bring real results." Mr. Geissinger explained that the exchange had first touched upon 'acidosis' in its advertising in 1920, since which time the alkaline reaction of citrus fruits has been continuously stressed. "Since that time we have advertised on the defensive, explaining how our acid fruits have an alkaline reaction, but we now propose to take the offensive, and proclaim the value of citrus fruits as a preventive and corrective of 'acidosis.'" he said." Motor Tourists Bring Wealth to California Rich Harvest Reaped by State From Influx of Visitors Vast amounts of cold cash are represented in the disbursements of motor tourist parties, according to national travel figures that have been compiled for the past touring season. Estimates indicate that this section of the country is particularly favored in these expenditures, which are growing heavier each year. Every stopping place of the motor tourist benefits in a degree, as he is a "cash and carry" customer and must pay on the spot for what he gets. According to the national figures, an average of $10 daily is spent for each group of motor tourists. Those who patronize resorts, hotels and cabin camps expended from $20 to $30 each day. These ratios are based on an average of three occupants to each automobile. From these figures it is shown that every community which attracted a touring group for one day added from $10 to $30 to its local business volume. The cities and towns along the main highways benefitted most, since the volume of tourists through these districts was highest. It is pointed out in this connection, however, that the value of the tourist trade is not confined entirely to the place in which the visitor remained, because the money spent in one spot will bring benefits to the entire surrounding district, and eventually to a state or national region. Most of the money spent by motor tourists is for living expenses, lodging and food, while the expenses for pleasure ranks second, and the automobile expenses third. With these national travel figures in mind, points out the Automobile Club of Southern California, it becomes apparent that the good roads, scenic attractions, and comfortable facilities for travelers in this section are a decided financial asset. It is already established that more than 100,000 cars from other states will come into Southern California during 1927. According to useful cooking equipment. With the automatic features which are possible with an electric range, and with the high speed cooking units which have been developed, the housewife, using this new equipment, has been liberated from the old-time kitchen bonds and has had many hours of leisure time literally presented to her. Mother, come out of the kitchen has been adopted by the electrical industry of Southern California for the present Hotpoint ranch campaign, and the sentiment expressed by this slogan is borne out by the practice of electric range users." GOING BACK TO WHITTLE President Coolidge being recently asked what he proposed to do when his term ended, remarked that he was going back to Vermont, and said that for a year or two he proposed to spend his time "whittling." This will remind former country boys of the rural habit of many old-timers who, to occupy idle moments, would pull out their jack-knives and amuse themselves by drawing long thin shavings from a piece of pine stick. They took pride in their ability to make these fine and even shavings. It was a sign of the philosophical calm of those days, that people could amuse themselves in this extremely simple way. Not many of our folks could do that in those restless days. But after strenuous years at the head of things in Washington, one could see how the quiescent act appealed to a president of the United States. Whittling means reflection, and when President Coolidge says he wants to whittle, he means he wants to be left alone with his thoughts for awhile; to jet them Fun untrammeled. eventually to a state or national region. Most of the money spent by motor tourists is for living expenses, lodging and food, while the expenses for pleasure ranks second, and the automobile expenses third. With these national travel figures in mind, points out the Automobile Club of Southern California, it becomes apparent that the good roads, scenic attractions, and comfortable facilities for travelers in this section are a decided financial asset. It is already established that more than 100,000 cars from other states will come into Southern California during 1927. According to the touring bureau of the auto club, many of these visitors remain for weeks and even months, so that their touring bill amounts to many millions in Southern California and is distributed far and wide. On the average, each individual in the United States has approximately three hens working for him or her the ear round. Of these three, at least one claw or is culled from the flock annually, and there is a demand for more than 100,000,000 pullets to take their places.
