California Leads in Road Development Program Calls for $47,000,000 Expenditure on Highways Southern California soon will hold the attention of the nation in highway development matters, according to local good roads authorities. This will be brought about through the announcement of the state highway commission of a $47,000,000 road program, budgets for the 11 western states totaling $180,000,000 and a great road and contracting equipment exposition to be held in Los Angeles in the central manufacturing district, March 7 to 11. Although various eastern states have voted large bond issues for highway development, California's program to extend over a period of ten years and aggregate an investment of a billion dollars in roads is believed to be in the lead. It is considered fitting that with this huge projected development that the big heavy duty machinery display planned for next month should be held in this section, which is credited with leading all others in the country in the good roads system already established. The big display is officially designated as the Western Road and Equipment Exposition. It is a mutual non-profit enterprise under the auspices of the Western Equipment Distributors' Association. It will not only bring machinery exhibits valued at some $3,000,000, but various important conventions. Highway engineers of the 11 western states will meet during the exhibition dates, as will the state organization of county supervisors and the western equipment distributors. State officials, engineers, county officials, architects, city officials, material dealers and all classes having to do with contracting and road building will gather by thousands to view the exposition. Not only will every section of the United States be represented, but the countries bordering the Pacific are expected to send representatives, making the show international in its aspect. The Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce, the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce, and other leading organizations Buena Park Notes (By MES. J. P. ROBISON) At the regular business meeting of the Woman's Club, Thursday afternoon at the clubhouse, Mrs. O. C. Hanson sent in her resignation as president. Mrs. Hanson has been sick for several months, making it necessary for her to give up her work. The resignation was accepted with regret, and an election will be held at the next regular meeting, and a first vice-president will also be elected. Mrs. C. E. Wilcox resigned from that office in January. Mrs. Albert Launer, president of the county federation, was present and gave an inspirational talk. A letter was read from Ronald Boring, a dahlia grower of Orange, stating that he had produced a new seedling which he had named "Buena Park." The proposed junior high school was discussed, and everybody urged to be registered in time to vote on this important question. Mr. and Mrs. Tex Sopha have moved into their new stucco house on Kingman avenue. Mr. and Mrs. Earl Dow have also moved to their new home on Seyenth street. What is thought to be an attempted holdup took place shortly after 9 o'clock at the pool hall, Saturday evening. The room had been closed for the evening, when some one approached the front door. The proprietor, R. E. Blackman, started to open the door, when the person outside fired a shot, the bullet going through the glass on the door. The gunman escaped in an automobile which was parked in front of the building. A new meat market opened up this week in the Daly's store. Frank Cooley is the proprietor. Mrs. L. A. Strain of Anaheim visited Mrs. W. P. Strain Thursday. Judge James Allen of Santa Ana was the speaker at the Kiwanis Club Tuesday evening. His subject was "The Present Crime Wave." A daughter was born Monday to Mr. and Mrs. Albert Vett, and on Tuesday Mr. and Mrs. Harry Karlyn welcomed a daughter. The Sunday school board met Thursday evening at the J. C. Cole home, on Ninth street. Those present were: Mr. and Mrs. Fred Bastardy, Mrs. G. S. Davis, Mrs. H. S. Horn, Mrs. H. Haggerty, Mrs. Rose Hartman, Mrs. P. Upshaw, Mrs. W. A.

H. Finney, Santa Ana; H. L. Wakeham, Tustin; William Segerstrom, Greenville; L. E. Platt, Paularfno; E. A. Wakeham, Anaheim, and A. H. Ostercamp, Talbert. Those directors elected met and chose F. H. Finney chairman for the ensuing year. As chairman of the dairy department, Mr. Finney will also be a director of the Orange County Farm Bureau. Under the able leadership of Mr. Finney and his board of directors, the dairy department anticipates an active year of accomplishments. While the dairy industry is not the highest annual contributor in farm income here in this county, it brings in a sizeable amount in addition to supplying a healthful product. The annual income to the county from the dairy industry is in the neighborhood of two million dollars. In the United States the annual income from this source exceeds that of any other agricultural enterprise. The dairy department is organized to direct dairy improvement work, serve as a source of information relative to dairying, and otherwise serve their interests. Obtaining monthly butterfat production records for the purpose of determining unprofitable cows and also enabling the owner to feed according to production, is carried on by S. S. Schutte under the direction of the directors. This past year money has been saved in those dries where this has been carried on. 50 Crops Valued At $8,428,626,000 The total value of about 50 crops in 1927 is estimated at $8,428,626,000 compared to $7,728,480,000, for the same crops in 1926, an increase of $335,146,000. The prices are as of December 1, except for some crops sold earlier in the season, according to the bureau of agricultural economics, United States Department of Agriculture. The greatest increases in value were corn $285,268,000; cotton $330,714,000; Mrs. W. P. Strain Thursday. Judge James Allen of Santa Ana was the speaker at the Kiwanis Club Tuesday evening.

Boll Weevil Is Not Exterminated by Cold The United States Department of Agriculture has been receiving a number of inquiries relative to the effect of the recent cold snap on the hibernating boll weevils. As explained in a recent statement by the department, an examination to determine the number of weevils entering hibernation in the past fall was completed just before this cold weather occurred and showed that in most sections an unusually large number of weevils had entered hibernation.Despite the recent cold snap,the department says there is no 50 Crops Valued At $8,428,626,000 The total value of about 50 crops in 1927 is estimated at $8,428,626,000 compared to $7,723,480,000 for the same crops in 1926, an increase of $835,146,000. The prices are as of December 1, except for some crops sold earlier in the season, according to the bureau of agricultural economics, United States Department of Agriculture. The greatest increases in value were corn $285,268,000; cotton $330,714,000; barley $73,890,000; and oats $40,694,000. The only really large decrease in value was the $113,147,000 decrease shown for potatoes, although wheat, hay, apples, peaches and some other crops show decreases ranging from $10,000,000 to $30,000,000. The average of principal crops increased from 355,657,000 acres in 1926 to 355,826,000 acres. Yelks averaged 2.1 per cent lower than those of 1926, but still average 2.5 per cent above those of the last 10 years. The gross production of the 17 principal crops was 2.4 per cent less than the average production of 1926, but 3.3 per cent greater than the average production during the last 10 years. Crop production per capita is, however, declining, being 3.4 per cent less than 1926 and 4.8 per cent below the average per capita production during the last 10 years. FERTILIZERS FROM THE AIR Chemical fixation of nitrogen derived from the air is an industrial process that has advanced rapidly in recent years. This infant industry says the Department of Agriculture is now producing synthetic nitrogen salts in such quantity that it supplies it is estimated at least one-half if not more, of the world's supply of inorganic nitrogen. Fifteen years ago much less than 10 per cent of the world's supply was derived from the air by chemical means. These comparatively new products are becoming more important year by year, in the fertilizer industry. The United States Department of Agriculture has been receiving a number of inquiries relative to the effect of the recent cold snap on the hibernating boll weevils. As explained in a recent statement by the department, an examination to determine the number of weevils entering hibernation in the past fall was completed just before this cold weather occurred and showed that in most sections an unusually large number of weevils had entered hibernation. Despite the recent cold snap, the department says there is no reason to assume that there will not be sufficient weevils in the spring to make a strong weevil fight quite necessary in the more heavily infested districts. Undoubtedly, many weevils have been killed by the cold. Experience has shown that as soon as the temperature goes below 30 degrees, those weevils having the least protection are the first to die, and more and more die as the temperature goes lower. However, experience has shown also that temperatures at least 10 degrees cooler than those experienced recently have still permitted enough survival to cause a serious weevil fight the following year. Records kept over a long series of years show that the weather this winter has been cold enough to reduce materially the weevils in hibernation, but it should be remembered that the normal survival during the winter amounts to only 3 to 5 per cent on the average, and that an unusual number entered hibernation last fall. WHO'LL DO THE WORK? The schools are turning out an unlimited number of bosses, managers, directors, superintendents, foremen, go-getters, also salesmen, bookkeepers, clerks, etc. Meanwhile there is a shortage of people who will take hold with hands and do work calling for muscle. This disparity will probably increase, judging by figures given out by the National Industrial Conference Board which finds that the number of un- Water Co. Directors Re-Elect Old Officers Resolution Passed Opposing Any Change in Immigration Law Directors of the Anaheim Union Water Company met Tuesday night for the purpose of organizing for the coming year's work. There was no change in the official staff. In the reorganization of the board for the new year it was moved, seconded and carried, that H. H. Hale be elected president; J. C. Tuffree, vice-president; L. J. Sheridan, secretary, and the First National Bank, treasurer. President Hale re-appointed the same committees to hold over for the ensuing year. It was moved, seconded and carried, that W. T. Wallop be appointed superintendent; H. C. Head, attorney, and Clyde D. Butler, engineer for the ensuing year. Director Tuffree reported regarding a proposed waste line through the C. C. Wagner ranch. Upon motion, this was referred to the ditch committee and superintendent for recommendation. Director Annin reported for the Santa Ana River Development Company regarding the location and construction of a division box. R. T. Sharp of the Union Oil Company, and representing the Waste Water Disposal Company, presented a request for a right-of-way for pipe lines across the La Habra reservoir site. Upon motion by Annin, seconded by Thamer, the president and secretary were instructed to sign this right-of-way when same is approved by Attorney Head. Upon motion by Thamer, seconded by Tuffree, and unanimously adopted, the following resolution was adopted: Whereas, there is now pending before Congress a proposition to so change the present immigration laws as to include Mexico among the countries subject to quota restrictions; and Whereas, such a change would practically eliminate Mexico as a source of supply for farm labor, particularly during the harvesting seasons of certain very large and important crops grown in the Southwestern portion of the United States; and Whereas, Mexico is now a convenient seconded by Brunworth, and unanimously carried, that an assessment of $3 per share be levied upon the subscribed capital stock of the Anaheim Union Water Company, payable on or before the 8th day of March, 1928, to the secretary at the office of the corporation at 303 East Center street, Anaheim, California. Any stock upon which this assessment shall remain unapaid on the 8th day of March, 1928, will be delinquent and advertised for sale at public auction, and unless payment is made before will be sold on the 30th day of March, 1928, to pay for delinquent assessments, together with the cost of advertising and expense of sale. TO BAR OUTSIDERS Discussing our immigration restriction law, Representative Box, of Texas, asserted that aliens from Mexico and South America are entering at the rate of 75,000 annually. Senator Reed of Pennsylvania pointed out that between 1890 and the World war more than 17,000,000 aliens entered the United States, and another 5,000,000 entered after the armistice and to 1924. The total of 22,500,000 is almost a quarter of the present population of the United States. On January 1, 1928, there were 1,500,000 applicants for admission to the United States registered in European consulates abroad. Senator Reed declares that the America, of our grandchildren cannot exist in the form in which America stands today, unless we will keep America for the Americans and suffice ourselves with the adequate population we have here today. skilled workers who returned to Europe since 1924 is three times as many as those who came thence to the United States. Perhaps many of these people were disappointed when they found they could not pick up gold in our streets. The man with the hoe and the pick is needed. There is an equal demand for the one who can swing a carpenter's hammer, a bricklayer's trowel, or house painter's brush. Many who practice these trades are driving shiny automobiles, while others are walking. Anyone should be glad to shake hands cordially with the man in overalls, and be glad to walk down town with him. The fellow who can mix paint so it will stick or who can fix the chimney so it won't smoke has praec Upon motion by Thamer, seconded by Tuffree, and unanimously adopted, the following resolution was adopted: Whereas, there is now pending before Congress a proposition to so change the present information laws as to include Mexico among the countries subject to quota restrictions; and Whereas, such a change would practically eliminate Mexico as a source of supply for farm labor, particularly during the harvesting seasons of certain very large and important crops grown in the Southwestern portion of the United States; and Whereas, Mexico is now a convenient source for such labor during the seasonal labor demands in connection with the aforesaid crops, and the labor so supplied for the most part is temporarily resident in the United States, most of the laborores returning to their own country at the close of the harvest season; and Whereas, there is no other source of supply for said labor unless it be the inferior and dangerous negro and Indian labor, which is undesirable and not conveniently available; and Whereas, Anaheim Union Water Company is a mutual irrigation company, supplying irrigation water at cost to its members, owning many thousands of acres of land in Orange county, California, and very largely interested in certain crops, employing the aforesaid Mexican labor; Now therefore, be it resolved by the Board of Directors of said Anaheim Union Water Company that the members of Congress, and the appropriate committees thereof, are requested to make a thorough and adequate investigation before adopting or approving any change of the present regulations respecting Mexican immigration; And that a copy of this resolution be sent to United States Senator Hiram W. Johnson, United States Senator S. M. Shortridge, and to Congressman Phil D. Swing. Superintendent reported that County Engineer Neff had requested that the Fulerton south branch ditch and the Orange thorpe ditch be lowered and jacketed for the opening of North Lemon street, and asked that this company bear one-half of the expense. It was moved by Tuffree, seconded by Thamer, that this company grant this request. It was moved by Director Tuffree.
