ANNUAL REPORT OF CHAIRMAN CUTTLE TELLS TRI-COUNTIES REFORESTATION COMMITTEE OF WORK DURING YEAR Report Submitted at Annual Meeting of Committee at Mission Inn, Riverside, on January 12; Tells of Federal Aid Extended in Fire Prevention in San Bernardino National Forest, State Aid Promised Following is the annual report of Chairman Francis Cuttle, chairman of the tri-counties reforestation committee, read at the annual meeting of the committee, held at Mission Inn, Riverside, on January 12, 1928; "To the Members of the Tri-Counties Reforestation Committee" "The counties of San Bernardino, Riverside and Orange, in common with all of Southern California, are still confronted with a tremendous increase in population, without having in sight a means of securing a water supply for this increased population. "The estimate of population January 1, 1928, shows an increase over 1920 federal census of 160 per cent, in 11 cities in Los Angeles county; three cities in Orange county, 216 per cent; Riverside (City), 72 per cent; San Bernardino (three cities), 112 per cent. While no figures have been obtained for the whole of the counties referred to, the increase in population in cities is indicative of the increase in population all over Southern California. "It should be remembered that there is no increase in sight in the water supply (with the exception of the legislature in 1929, at which time there will be an opportunity of taking up with the legislature the matter of financial co-operation." "During the past season the Water Conservation Association diverted and spread 14,418 acre-feet of water. This was only a small percentage of the amount of water that came down the river, but unfortunately the rainfall was of such character as to create flood conditions, during which time it was impossible to divert water, and even if it could have been diverted, it would have been inadvisable to spread it for the reason that silt in the water would have filled up the gravels, thereby preventing the sinking of water on these areas in future. From 70,000 to 100,000 acre-feet were lost in the ocean during the season of 1926-27, illustrating the necessity for the construction of dams in the mountains to hold the peak of the flood and desilt the water. "So far this season no water has been available for sinking purposes, but the rains have no doubt filled up the sources of supply to a greater degree than was the case last year, by reason of the lack of heavy rains, which create flood conditions instead of making it possible to conserve water. "A close check is being kept of all wells in the San Bernardino artesian basin during portions of the year when the water from these wells is not being put to beneficial use. Very little waste is noted, and in every instance where waste has been detected, the owners have shown a willingness to co-operate in stopping the waste of water. "A resolution adopted by the board of directors of the Water Conservation Association, relating to the securing of funds from local interests, which are affected by the water supply, for the co-operation with the federal and state governments, is as follows: "Whereas, the Water Conservation Association was incorporated by the users of water in the counties of San Bernardino, Riverside, and Orange, receiving their supply from the Santa Ana river and its tributaries, and said association was incorporated for the purpose of conserving the waters of the said river by spreading winter flood waters and by prevention of waste of artesian and sub-surface waters of said stream and its tributaries, etc.; and" Electric Brush Bullet "The Electric Brush Agriculture bullet suits of observation by electricity in aid tion, has just been written by Prof. division of agriculture T.

"The estimate of population January 1, 1928, shows an increase over 1920 federal census of 160 per cent in 11 cities in Los Angeles county; three cities in Orange county, 216 per cent; Riverside (City), 72 per cent; San Bernardino (three cities), 112 per cent. While no figures have been obtained for the whole of the counties referred to, the increase in population in cities is indicative of the increase in population all over Southern California. "It should be remembered that there is no increase in sight in the water supply (with the exception of the Boulder Canyon dam, which at best would be 10 years away) to provide for this increase in population, notwithstanding that so-called 'boosters' are claiming that California will eventually have a population of 50,000,000 people. If these boosters will tell how and where to secure a supply of water for the increase in population, they will confer a great favor on the present population of the state. "Data on work of constructing a fire protective system in the San Bernardino national forest was furnished by Mr. S. A. Nash-Boulden, forest supervisor. Total cost of this work was $59,085. "The funds for this work have come from the $100,000 appropriation by congress, $17,500 of which was allocated to the San Bernardino national forest and matched by local interests. We are just advised by United States Forester Col. W. B. Greeley that the present federal budget has an item of $125,000, as recommended by the administration, for continuation of the work on the four federal forests in Southern California. "There is no doubt that we can secure an increase in the amount allotted to the San Bernardino national forest for the construction of a fire prevention system, provided we can raise the funds to match such increase, and that is a question that should have very careful attention of the members of this committee. "While it will probably never be possible to prevent fires, by the construction of a fire prevention system, the bisecting of the areas on our local watersheds with fire lanes and trails will enable fire fighters to confine fires to smaller areas when they do occur. "In accordance with his pre-election promises of substantial assistance for the protection of watershed cover and perpetuation of our forests, Governor Young agreed to include in his budget estimate $10,000 for San Bernardino county and an item of $40,000 for other counties and agencies. While there is no condition that these state funds must be met by equal amounts from local interests to make them available, as is the case with federal appropriations, it would seem only fair that local interests should put up as much as the state is willing to appropriate for the protection of our local watersheds. This would place us in a strong position for securing additional state assistance from succeeding administrations. "Investigative work is being carried on to determine the influence of the different type of cover on our watersheds, and the influence of same on funds from local interests, which are affected by the water supply, for the co-operation with the federal and state governments, is as follows: "'Whereas, the Water Conservation Association was incorporated by the users of water in the counties of San Bernardino, Riverside, and Orange, receiving their supply from the Santa Ana river and its tributaries, and said association was incorporated for the purpose of conserving the waters of the said river by spreading winter flood waters and by prevention of waste of artesian and sub-surface waters of said stream and its tributaries, etc.; and "'Whereas, the Tri-Counties Reforestation Committee was organized for the general purpose of "the better protection of timber now standing in the San Bernardino Forest Reserve * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * "Be It Resolved, that it is the sense of the members and directors of the Water Conservation Association that the activities of said association should be confined to the actual spreading of water and the prevention of waste, as provided in its articles of incorporation and by-law; be it "'Further Resolved, that it is the sense of the directors of the Water Conservation Association that there is great necessity for the prevention of fire, and of reforestation and afforestation on the said watershed, which would be of great benefit to the water users of the three counties of San Bernardino, Riverside, and Orange, as such protection of the watersheds would enable the Water Conservation Association to better and more successfully carry on the work of water conservation and prevention of waste; be it "'Further Resolved, that the directors of the Water Conservation Association respectfully suggest to the members of the Tri-Counties Reforestation Committee that said committee enlarge its scope of activities to take in all watersheds in the three counties of San Bernardino, Riverside, and Orange, and that it undertake all co-operative work between the federal government, state government, and local interested parties, in securing funds and utilizing the same in co-operation with all other agencies which can be induced to co-operate, to obtain the very best protection of the growth on said watershed from fire, and to secure at as early a date as possible as complete a cover as may be practicable upon the said watersheds; to the end that no water shall be wasted, but that all precipitation falling on said watershed shall be conserved and applied to beneficial use." "Lists of parties who are affected by the condition of the water supply in the three counties have been secured, and it is recommended that all of these parties be seen at an early date and..." While there is no condition that these state funds must be met by equal amounts from local interests to make them available, as is the case with federal appropriations, it would seem only fair that local interests should put up as much as the state is willing to appropriate for the protection of our local watersheds. This would place us in a strong position for securing additional state assistance from succeeding administrations. "Investigative work is being carried on to determine the influence of the different type of cover on our watersheds, and the influence of same on water supply, under the appropriation secured from the federal government, supplemented by a $20,000 item in the state budget. "The young pines in the nursery have made a very substantial growth, and there will be a good many thousand ready for planting at the proper time during the present spring. This, of course, is all in an experimental way, and while the results will be matched with interest, losses of trees may be expected from the fact that experiments will be tried with different kinds of trees, in all sorts of conditions, with a view of determining best species to plant and best methods of handling. No definite report is yet available on results of either of these undertakings, as sufficient time has not elapsed to get such results. "Your chairman is working as a member of the forest study committee of the California Development Association, preparing a plan for the perpetuation of the forests of California, in which is included brush cover on watersheds, in the hope that necessary legislation may be had that will bring about these desirable results. "Word has been received from the office of the state engineer during the past few days, to the effect that while the survey may not be completed before the next session of the legislature, which convenes January 1, 1929, a progress report will be available some time during the early summer of 1928, so that there will be ample time to decide how to best proceed and what sort of an organization should be perfected to put into effect the plans revealed by the survey, prior to the meeting of the CHURCH NOTICE First Church of Christ, Scientist—a branch of The Mother Church, The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Mass.—Philadelphia street at Chartres.

This publication is written by Prof. B. D. Moses of the division of agricultural engineering, and T. O. Wood, field engineer for the California Committee on the Relation of Electricity to Agriculture. It is published as bulletin No. 441, and may be had free from the farm advisor's office, Santa Ana. "The universal demand for labor-saving devices which are automatically controlled has resulted in the adoption of many farmers of brooders heated by electricity," the authors say, adding that at least 5000 were in use in California last year. Thirty-three tests were run on eight farms with the non-glowing types of heaters and 16 tests on six farms with the radiant or glowing type. The cost per chick for the non-glowing types was 948 cents and for the radiant type 3.11 cents. The mortality for the non-glowing type was 17.4 per cent, and for the glowing type 12.3 per cent, with an average brooder area of 1.88 square inches for the former and 7.83 for the latter. "Seven square inches is the brooder floor area recommended per chick," says the authors. "If a smaller space is used, less heat will be required, but ventilation troubles will probably be greater. The chief difference between brooders lies in the comparative cost and dependability of operation. Those that conserve the heat by means of curtains, crowding or restricting ventilators will cost less, but will be less satisfactory than those less careful of heat but more careful of ventilation." In general, brooders using non-glowing coils also use curtains, while those using glowing elements do not."
