Residents Protest Burning of Brush Motivated by recent fires in the hills back of Olive, said to have been intentionally set, the residents of that community have signed an open protest against brush burning and a petition for relief. The petition is addressed to any it might concern and expresses the theory that brush hill coverings, whether on private or public land, is a natural resource inherently belonging to all the people. It is pointed out by some of the signers that these burns had permitted floods to come down upon them during the last rain, and they claim a damage. The full text of the protest follows: "Whereas, we are advised that the law permits the burning of brush on private property without a permit during the winter months, and Whereas, such fires often needlessly endanger the property of others, as well as creating a smoke nuisance, and Whereas, the county officials and civic organizations are spending much time and money to replant and protect the natural coverings of our hills for the preservation of their beauty and as a protection to our present and future water supply, and Whereas, it has been determined that indiscriminate burning has resulted in erosion, floods, and property damage, both direct and indirect, leaving ugly scars, devastation, ruin and needless waste in its wake, Therefore, the undersigned, hold the opinion that the forest and brush coverings of our hills, whether on private lands or on the public domain, are a natural resource and a public benefaction, inherently belonging to all the people in affect, for their enjoyment, protection and general public benefit; We join with the Orange County Farm Bureau in an appeal to the public spirit, civic pride, real patriotism and absolute fairness of the parties who wantonly destroy by fire this natural protection, requesting them to desist from such practice. We further appeal to the proper legal authorities, whoever they may be, to enact or employ safeguards against this practice in whatever manner possible."

Anaheim police are seeking a man who succeeded in getting a package of cigarettes and $4.85 in change for a $1 bill at a confectionery store Monday. Presenting the bill, which he had "raised" to represent a $5 bill, to Miss Betty Stoffel, clerk in the store, the man escaped without the deception being discovered until some time later. H. A.

Olive Association Building New House Structure to Cost $85,000 Will Replace Destroyed Plant With lumber now being delivered to the scene and with the forms ready for the pouring of concrete, work on the new Olive Heights Citrus Association's packing plant got under active way Monday. It was announced by Ben H. Cole, manager. Burned down last December, the Olive Citrus Association is replacing its former house with a modern plant which, when fully equipped, will cost approximately $85,000, ranking among the finest of its kind in Orange county. Cole announced that plans for the building call for a reinforced concrete structure, with main floor dimensions of 110x170 feet, exclusive of the office and rest rooms, which will add another 18x110 feet to the plant. No general contract has been awarded as most of the construction work is being done by day labor, under the supervision of E. M. Mahl, Garden Grove Cole. Cole said that the excavating, which has been completed, and the wiring and other similar work, however, is being done under contract. The building is expected to be completed and ready for operation April 15, in ample time for the opening of the 1928 Valencia season. The structure itself will cost about $55,000, while the equipment, which will include the most modern packing plant machinery available, is expected to run an additional $30,000. The house is to be of the two-unit type, with each unit containing four sizers. For the present, the association contemplates equipping but one unit of four sizers. When both units are equipped eight sizers will be available, which will enable the plant to handle a minimum of 1000 cars. The latest and most efficient type of machinery is to be installed, Cole said, stating that this would include counting machines for individual sizes. One of the outstanding features of the new plant will be a ramp, which will permit the large fruit trucks to Buena Park Notes (By Mrs. J. P.

Davis, and readings from the Missionary Magazine. Mrs. Hollis Hendricks visited her aunt, Miss Estelle Needham of Imperial last week. Mrs. T. R.

Farm Exhibit Train Schedule for March A "California Agricultural Special" train will make a two weeks' tour of the San Joaquin and Sacramento valley towns next March, according to joint announcement made by the Agricultural Extension Service of the University of California and the Southern Pacific. A 14-car train carrying livestock and agricultural exhibits will stop at 24 towns between Bakersfield and Red Bluff, according to the timetable now being arranged by Prof. D. H. Crocheron, director of agricultural extension of the university, and R. E. Kelly, manager of development of the Southern Pacific. The demonstration train will be purely educational and will attempt to emphasize the need of diversified farming, particularly by means of livestock. It will set forth the present agricultural economic situation in California and some possible ways and means of diversification which it is believed may tend toward improvement. An all-day program will be arranged in each town. Half of the day will be given to an up-town meeting, at which local economic problems will be presented and discussed. The train will stop a half day at each town, when a diversified program will be presented by members of the University of Agricultural College and staff, who will accompany the train. In addition to the discussion and demonstration of the care, feeding and breeding of livestock, the program will include subjects of interest to fruit growers and to farm women. "Much has been said about the agricultural situation," said Professor Crocheron, in discussing the purpose of the demonstration train. "Agriculture has not paid well as a business. Certainly we need bigger and better farm incomes. There is no question of that. The Agricultural Extension Service is devoted to that purpose, and the chief objective of the farm demonstration train is to assist the farmers in methods which will bring them a larger net income. The train will afford the farmers and business men an opportunity to get together to study their local economic and farm problems." "Generally speaking, farming is in a depressed financial condition. Economic forces have so operated as to penalize agriculture and give the farmer too small a share of the national income." Many plans are advocated to The house is to be of the two-unit type, with each unit containing four sizers. For the present, the association contemplates equipping but one unit of four sizers. When both units are equipped eight sizers will be available, which will enable the plant to handle a minimum of 1000 cars. The latest and most efficient type of machinery is to be installed, Cole said, stating that this would include counting machines for individual sizes. One of the outstanding features of the new plant will be a ramp, which will permit the large fruit trucks to enter the basement level to unload. This feature, which is to be found in few packing plants in the state, will eliminate the use of conveyors or belts to convey fruit unloaded on the main door to the basement, Cole said. The Olive Heights plant was one of two destroyed in a disastrous fire at olive last winter. The other plant, belonging to the Olive Hillside Groves, Inc., also being rebuilt with many improved features.

Economic forces have so operated as to penalize agriculture and give the farmer too small a share of the national income. Many plans are advocated to get agriculture on a paying basis.

Mr. Kelly, who is in charge of the ern Pacific, stated that the operation of the farm demonstration train was in line with the railroad's policy of assisting the growers along its lines.

TRIBUTE OF A NATION It is 68 years since Abraham Lincoln emerged from practical obscurity to become the sixteenth President of the United States. And yet, after all these years no man in contemporaneous history stands out so prominently or commands greater attention at the hands of those who are particularly interested in Americanizing systems. The nation has attempted to express in marble and bronze some measure of its appreciation of his life and achievements, but it may be truly said of Lincoln that he reared his own monument and that, though dead, he lives in the hearts of his countrymen. Born in Kentucky, on February 12, 1809, his life and works have been an inspiration to the hosts who have passed over, as well as to the hosts of a newer generation, not only in this country, but throughout the civilized world. It has been said of him that he is a man of the ages, and new lessons, new truths, new principles of life discovered between the lines of his utterances, brand him as an unathomed factor in the civilization of the world. In nearly all cities and towns and schoolhouses throughout the land simple enologies have been pronounced in observance of his birthday, but the words spoken on the battlefield of Gettysburg are enduring and a perpetual memorial, a precept for every individual every day and every hour. "It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us, that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion; that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain; that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom; and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth." Hold Citrus Institute at San Bernardino Feb. 25 According to an announcement by Harold E. Wahlberg, farm advisor in Orange county, the annual winter citrus institute is to be held on Thursday, February 23, at San Bernardino. An interesting program has been prepared and will start at 9:45 a.m. at the Elks' clubhouse, on Fourth street, between D and E streets. The subjects to be discussed are: "Control of the Citrus Aphis," Clifford Dodd, of Ventura county. "Oil Spray Investigations," by Ralph H. Smith, citrus experiment station, Riverside. "Nutrition Studies on Citrus," Dr. Haas, citrus experiment station, Riverside. "Citrus Variety Studies," Dr. H. J. Webber, director of citrus experiment station, Riverside. Growers will find that this program is one in which they will be intensely interested. The program will be over by 3 o'clock, which will give those in attendance an opportunity to visit the Orange Show at San Bernardino. If Al Smith's campaign managers are as clever as they ought to be, they will pretty soon begin to take straw votes along the Bowery. Speaking of the Nicaraguan situation, Mr. Sandino seems to have struck out with the bases full. Triple-Tested!
