Farm Situation in The Golden State Maintains High Standard Value Of Its Soil Products The estimates of the production of the various crops indicate the total tonnage harvested this season will be slightly under that of 1926. Prices in most instances have been well maintained and the total value of all crops will approximate the estimated value in 1926. In so far as individual crops are concerned, wheat production will exceed that of last year, but owing to adverse weather conditions in the early spring, did not come up to expectations. Oats and barely show a marked decrease in production. A larger acreage of rice was planted, but continued rains during November have caused some abandonment of acreage, and but a slight increase in production is expected. There was a decrease in the acreage planted to cotton, and the average yield per acre will not be quite so good as in 1926. Bean production is somewhat under last year. There is an important increase in the acreage planted to grain sorghum and potatoes, with a consequent increase in production for both of these crops. There was an increase in the acreage devoted to truck crops, with an increase in production over last year, but the unit value is somewhat less, making it more or less doubtful as to whether or not the total value of all truck crops in 1927 will exceed that of the previous year. Important increases were shown in the acreage of most of California's deciduous fruit crops. Increased production, however, did not always follow an increase in acreage. The apple crop was about 25 per cent less than last year. Pears showed a decrease in production, but better prices brought the pear growers more money. The production of clingstone peaches was about the same as last year. Freestone peaches showed a decrease in production. Owing to market conditions, tonnage of clingstone peaches was not harvested. Estimates run from 20 to Greenawalt, and Mrs. H. S. Horn attended the Y. W. C. A. luncheon at the Mission Inn, at Fullerton, Wednesday. Mrs. May Feagan entertained about thirty ladies at her home on Tenth street with a party in honor of her sister, Mrs. Gilbert O'Hara, Mrs. O'Hara leaves this week for her new home in Portland. Mrs. Georgia Bennett entertained with a bridge party at her home on Wester Avenue Tuesday afternoon. The guest enjoying the I o'clock luncheon and the games of the afternoon were: Mrs. Snow of Los Angeles, Mrs. B. R. Shinn of Santa Fe Springs, Mrs. Jerry Cole, Mrs. T. W. Clark, Mrs. L. T. Wilsey, Mrs. George Trapp, Mrs. A. Curtis Case, Miss Jane Case, Mrs. W. T. Martin, and Mrs. V. K. Chandler. The Stamp Queen Hawaiian Trlo presented a program at the Congregational church Sunday evening. Mrs. S. S. Greenawalt had as guest last week Miss Arabella Coble of the Monte Sano hospital of Glendale. It is expected that an election will be called soon to vote bonds for the erection of junior high schools in the various districts belonging to the Fulerton high school district. If this carries, Buena Park's share of the $600,000 bonds will be $75,000. The new homes of Mrs. Coughrue, Sammile Coughran, and Walter Krüt on South Grand avenue, are near completion. All are of stucco and will add much to the attractiveness of that part of our growing community. Friday night was observed by the Masonite lodge as Past Master's Night Past Master Roy Eberhart presided. Mrs. L. J. Robeson was a Los Angeles shopper Thursday. Mrs. R. H. Cummins has been elected treasurer of the Eastern Star, to take the place of Mrs. J. R. Schofield, who has moved to Balboa. Mrs. A. C. Spohn, Mrs. R. C. Spohn and daughter, Phyllis, and Mrs. J. R. Robinson visited Mrs. J. H. Spohn in Long Beach Monday. Mr. and Mrs. Claud Allin and daughters, Claudine and Ruth Evalin, and Mrs. W. P. Strain and son, Frank, were Sunday guests of Mr. and Mrs. L. A. Strain of Anaheim. Miss Viola Peters fell while skating at the skating rink Saturday night, spraining her hip. Don't Delay Getting Important increases were shown in the acreage of most of California's deciduous fruit crops. Increased production, however, did not always follow an increase in acreage. The apple crop was about 25 per cent less than last year. Pears showed a decrease in production, but better prices brought the pear growers more money. The production of clingstone peaches was about the same as last year. Freestone peaches showed a decrease in production. Owing to market conditions, tonnage of clingstone peaches was not harvested. Estimates run from 20 to 25 per cent of the clingstone peach crop unharvested. Last year's prune crop was the largest on record. This year's crop will be fully 25 per cent larger than in 1926. Owing to the large crop and poor market conditions, a small tonnage of small-sized prunes was not harvested. There was a slight increase in the production of apricots and a decrease in the production of plums. Prices were fairly good, however, and both of these crops will show greater value than in 1926. The 1926-27 citrus crop is the largest ever produced in California. The crop now being harvested and which will not all be marketed until the close of October, 1928, will run from 15 to 20 per cent under the production of the past year. The grape crop, grown on only a slightly increased acreage, is the largest ever produced. The development of the clearing house idea and better methods of distribution brought the growers more money than the crop of 1926. It is variously estimated that from 10,000 to 15,000 cars of grapes will not be harvested. The livestock industry is in a very favorable position at the present time. Range and feed conditions have been good and all classes of livestock generally are in good condition. The general outlook for the beef cattle industry is the best in the state since 1920. No large gain in the total production of milk and its products is indicated this year, but butter and cheese prices have probably averaged somewhat higher with a consequent increase in the total value of dairy products. Interest in the sheep industry continues unabated practically throughout all sections of California. There was an increase of about 10 per cent in the number of sheep in 1927 over the previous year. The lamb crop was larger and the movement of lambs to eastern markets was greater than usual, with profitable prices generally prevailing. The wool market improved quite noticeably the latter part of the year and the outlook for the sheepman is comparatively good. The first half of the year the poultry industry was somewhat in the "dumps." Rather poor prices for poultry and eggs prevailed. Since the middle of the year conditions have improved to some extent and the outlook is much better than at the beginning of 1927. Don’t Delay Getting Your License Plates Do not fail to make application at once for your automobile license plates. This message to Anaheim motorists came to The Gazette today from Frank G. Snook, chief of the Division of Motor Vehicles, Sacramento. You will save yourself money and trouble by doing it. And you will pay double if you wait too long. After midnight of Tuesday, January 31, the legal time for renewing licenses expires. After that date the law requires Chief Buena Park Notes (By MRS. J. P. ROBISON) At the Chamber of Commerce meeting last Tuesday evening, the following officers were installed: President, W. E. Gunby; vice-president, R. G. Nelson; secretary, F. B. Jones; treasurer, H. G. Bixby. The new president appointed the standing committees for the year. C. H. Corday, representative of the Marbelite Ornamental Light Company, spoke on the proposed ornamental lighting system, a petition being circulated to establish ornamental lights on Grand avenue, Melrose and Franklin avenues. Mrs. Harry Sears of Annheim delightfully entertained the Woman's Club Thursday afternoon, with her interpretation of that beautiful poem, Tenny-son's "Launcelot and Elaine," reading many of the beautiful passages. Mrs. Sears is the county chairman of literature for the Federation of Woman's Clubs. Mrs. J. F. Simpson and Mrs. C. B. Snyder were hostesses for the afternoon. Mrs. J. E. Wright gave a very interesting talk on her recent trip to the eastern coast, at the Sunday school, Sunday morning. Mr. and Mrs. Wright and their guest, Miss Myers, who accompanied them from the east, will leave this week for a trip to the northern part of the state. J. Emick of Los Angeles has bought a lot on Grand avenue, near Fifth street, on which he will build a modern theatre building. The motion picture house will be run as one of a chain of theatres. Mrs. R. C. Cummins, Mrs. Silas Numerous Arrests For Violating Law 135,000 Drivers Punished During Past Year in State The Division of Motor Vehicles today estimated that approximately 135,000 persons were fined, jailed or otherwise punished in California during 1927 for violations of the motor vehicle act. Actual abstracts of violations forwarded to the division by the various courts of the state, in compliance with the law, number 85,145. Division officials estimated there were at least 50,000 more violations of which the state has no record, due to the failure of judges to report. Charges such as driving while intoxicated, reckless driving and speeding constituted more than 82 per cent of the offenses, or a total of 67,662 of the cases actually reported. This is a sharp increase over 1926, due officials of the division believe, to the determined war that was waged throughout the year against drunken drivers. Other segregations of the known violations show 6864 paid the penalty for violating the rules of the road; 3803 for driving with illegal headlights; 787 for violations of regulations relating to license plates; 2285 for using muffler cutouts; 844 for operating without a driver's license, and 2890 for miscellaneous offenses. The records credit the courts of Los Angeles with 30,406 convictions for the year; San Francisco with 777, and Oakland 769. It is known, however, that many more convictions, not reported, were secured in those cities. A total of 502 motorists had their licenses revoked during the year, a gain of nearly 100 over 1926. Thousands more, however, were cited for glaring headlights. The effects of the drunken driver war are again seen in these statistics, for of the total, 292, or more than one-half, lost their right to drive because of charges of driving while drunk. Snook not only to charge you double for your plates, but to take your car away from you if you are driving with play golf courses in the state, and at the same time being within convenient access to the downtown shopping center without being obliged to struggle through congested areas. "In the matter of climate and scenery, one could not demand more. The recreational advantages are manifold; besides golf, there is swimming at the Montebello pool, tennis, riding, and many other sports, with mountains and beaches within convenient reach over the fine highways directly serving Montebello Park Country Club unit. "The character of this community is already established by the two $25,000 residences to be erected here very shortly. Unquestionably, this will become one of the choicest residential districts developed in Southern California in recent years. The motorist will at once recognize the advantage of a home on the East Side, where he has the run at his back, instead of in his eyes, to drive to his office, and from office to his home. "We anticipate one of the greatest sales of our very successful history when this unit is opened tomorrow, for homesites in the genuinely exclusive locations surrounding Los Angeles are becoming fewer and fewer, and many who are not prepared to build a fine home now are selecting their lots with an eye to the future." 18 New Families Come to Anaheim During the past week a total of 18 new families and firms have established themselves in Anaheim, according to report today by Secretary George A.
