Gov. Young Will Open Orange Show Feb. 16 San Bernardino's Midwinter Exhibition Now in Progress California's greatest mid-winter event, the Eighteenth National Orange Show, will open its 1928 season in San Bernardino tonight. Gov. C. C. Young will be the guest of honor and will officially open the show. Those who were privileged to attend a preview of the show included the members of the California state supreme court, horticultural commissioners and representatives of many organizations identified with the citrus industry. The consensus of opinion is that the eighteenth show will surpass in magnitude and beauty all former shows. Feature displays have been designed by Riverside, Redlands, La Verne, Los Angeles, Hemet, Pomona, Colton, Corona, Sacramento, Pasadena, Ontario, Cucamonga, Upland, Santa Monica, Pacific Electric railway, Orange county, Ventura county, and San Diego county. Rack displays of California's finest oranges have been entered by practically every citrus growing district in Southern California. The keenest interest is being evidenced by the more than 100 citrus growers who have entered in the competition which will determine the champion orange grower of the world. A diamond studded gold medal will be presented to the winning citrus grower by Governor Young tomorrow. The decorations for the eighteenth show are the most costly and lavish in the history of the show, it is claimed. All industrial exhibits are in place and visitors will find a greater show and greater displays in every department. Headed by the Long Beach band, 11 youth musical organizations, in addition to a host of entertainers, will be featured from day to day during the show. Study Reclamation Of Alkali Soils "white alkali," such as sulphates and once. This leaching process consists chlorides, leaching may be started at bordering and cross-checking the land and then filling these squares with water. This water is allowed to percolate down through the soil and out through the drainage lines, carrying the salts in solution. The amount of water to be used and the length of time required will depend entirely on the concentration of salt and the texture of the soil. However, if there are carbonates "black alkali" present, then an entire different problem is presented. These salts not only are less soluble than white alkali, but also cause the soil to "puddle" so badly that leaching is almost impossible. The experiments at Fresno showed that by the addition of some such soil amendment as sulphur to these "black alkali" soils, the above-mentioned conditions could be overcome and the soil reclaimed. After the addition of the sulphur, the soil should be allowed to lie idle for three or four months while oxidation takes place. The soil should be damp when the sulphur is added and the material disced or harrowed into it. When several months have elapsed, then the land should be bordered and cross-checked and flooded the same as for white alkali. The addition of from 10 to 20 tons per acre of barnyard manure will greatly facilitate the process of reclamation. The reclamation of soil which carries even a small amount of alkali is an expensive and long time operation, but can be accomplished if the proper combination of factors is either present or is brought about by the expenditure of considerable time and money. In any event, the farmer should keep in mind the things to do before attempting reclamation. (1) Be sure that ample drainage is provided. (2) Determine the amount and character of salts present. (3) Determine the soil texture. After the alkali has been leached out, the best plan is to plant the reclaimed land to a cover crop such as bitter clover, which should be plowed under in order to increase the humus content and the fertility of the reclaimed soil.

Study Reclamation Of Alkali Soils By RAYMOND ELLIS Assistant Farm Advisor During the past year, or since the announcement of results obtained in alkali reclamation in Freeso county, there has been marked activity among companies handling various soil amendments, especially sulphur. These people have made a large number of recommendations and claims, some of which are founded on fact and others absolutely without reason. Any farmer who is contemplating alkali reclamation work should first make a complete analysis of his situation and then proceed according to the very best recommendations of men who have spent considerable time and thought on the problem. The first item which must be considered by the farmer is whether or not ample drainage is provided. If there is no drainage, either through the medium of open ditches or tile lines, then permanent reclamation is impossible. These drains should be sufficiently deep to care for the ground water table, and close enough together to allow for the ready percolation of water to them. Ordinarily, the lines should be from six to eight feet under the surface, and in a medium type soil from 150 to 250 feet apart. Heavier soils will require a closer spacing of drains, while in real sandy soils, a greater distance apart would be satisfactory. When the drainage problem has been taken care of to the satisfaction of the farmer, his next step is to determine the amount and character of the alkali present. If only those materials are present which are commonly known as Adopt New System of Automobile Insurance A new type of automobile insurance, for farmers exclusively, will be written by the farm bureau within a short time, according to J. A. Smiley, state executive committeeman of the California Farm Bureau Federation, who has just returned from attending a meeting at the committee at Merced. "This is merely an effort to provide farmers with a new service, and not a business undertaking on the part of the organization," stated Mr. Smiley, when interviewed by a representative. "It is a well known fact that the farmer-owned automobile presents a less insurance hazard than others, and this new policy is a gesture toward giving the farmers the benefit of their carefulness. Because of the selected risk feature, the premium rates for this new insurance is ridiculously low. "The farm bureau signed a contract with the State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Company at Illinois. This company has been in business for five or six years and is now giving this new insurance service in 14 mid-western states. "This proposition has been under discussion in farm bureau circles for some months and attracted considerable attention. Several companies were investigated and local companies were solicited before the final decision of the state federation was reached. "We do not intend to put on a 'selling campaign.' The farm bureau has arranged for the service, and it will be available to those who are eligible."

Anaheim Laundry 400 South Lemon Street Telephone 18 Anaheim California LAUNDERERS DRY CLEANERS ANAHEIM GAZETTE SMALL SERIES QUITE POPULAR The seven models comprising the Series 115 group, which was introduced into the Bulk line less than four years ago, are finding particularly ready acceptance among the fast growing ranks of two-car owners. C. W. Churchill, general sales manager, announced this week. Mr. Churchill was discussing the American family's increasing recognition of its need for more than one automobile. Dealers' reports. Mr. Churchill said, indicate that a surprising proportion of the Series 115 models sold during the record-breaking past three months were bought by owners who already possessed one or more of the Series 120 or Series 128 models. Bulk's retail sales for the period between June 30 and October 1 totaled $2,955, of which approximately half were cars of Series 115. George F. Howard, northern Orange county dealer, said that credit for the immediate success of the Series 115 is given by dealers to the one-quality policy governing construction of the entire line. Though designed to the requirements of the driver who prefers a somewhat lighter car than the 120-inch and 128-inch wheelbase Buicks, the seven models on the 114½-inch wheelbase are identical with the others in quality of material, in workmanship, and in engineering details. "This fact," said Mr. Churchill, "has made our Series 115 cars popular among owners who have long derived satisfaction from larger cars. Besides ensuring themselves of reliable transportation, they secure added convenience in operation and servicing through use of two or more cars." The Series 115 Buicks are designed to meet a variety of owner requirements. They include five-passenger, two and four-door sedans, roadsters, touring car, two-passenger coupe, four-passenger country club coupe, and five-passenger town broughtam. Forest Association Studies Fire Hazards By W. M. CORY Assistant Farm Advisor With three months of the year's egg-laying contest gone, we find Elmer Koenig's Rhode Island Red pen having one hen, highest in production to date with 81 eggs, and also high hen for the month with 30 eggs to her credit. M. L. Frick, Bell, has high pen for the month with 235 eggs, and E. J. Campbell, Garden Grove, third with 202 eggs. The light birds averaged 47 per cent production and the heavy birds 31 per cent for the month. In conjunction with the egg-laying contest, a comprehensive feeding test is being carried on. The basal ration consists of the contest ration with green feed. Compared with it are the contest ration with alfalfa hay, contest ration with alfalfa leaves and blossoms, ground grain mash, scratch grain, alfalfa leaf and blossom meal. Two sets of each of these experiments is conducted, one with the birds on dirt yards and the other with concrete yards. Thus on the conclusion of the experiment data should be available as to the merits of the kind of green feed used, whole ground grain mash vs. mashes using mill by-products, and influence of concrete yards on the health of the flock and egg production.

Football Practice To Begin April 1 Merley Drury, All-American quarterback on Coach Howard Jones' University of Southern California football team will play on a "second" team for the first time in his life, starting April 1. The occasion will be the annual spring football practice, when more than 100 candidates are expected to be out. Coach Howard Jones, who led the Trojans through one of their most successful seasons last year, will be on hand to look over the material. Jones believes that spring football constitutes one of the most important parts of the game. Speaking at the annual football banquet, he stated that this period is about the only time varsity coaches have to properly appraise their material and to experiment with different combinations of men. Important football contests come so early in the fall season, he said, that coaches cannot afford to place their reliance in men who have not yet proved themselves to be reliable performers. Six seniors, including Captain Morley Drury, the Star of the West, and All-American quarterback in 1927, will be graduated in June. The list includes besides Drury, Howard Elliott, quarterback; Max Thomas, fullback; James Moser, end; Albert Scheving, tackle; and Bert Heiser, All-Coast guard of last season. Men coming up from the ranks of Aubrey Devine's 1927 freshmen who are expected to show up well in the pre-season workouts are Marshall Duffield, quarterback; Clifford Thiede, halfback; La Verne Sellen, tackle; Vaughn Deranlen, guard; Howard Wilcox, end; Marger Apsit, halfback; and Stewart Phillip, guard.

Telephone 801 GIBBS LUMBER 801 E. Broadway—Anaheim, California en distribution...stronger markets ...better returns! They can be obtained only by marketing our citrus crop through one central organization. ONE fundamental reason for the great success of the California Fruit Growers Exchange lies in the fact that its plan of operation effectively combines the conducive features of both competition and cooperation. Under the Exchange system all growers compete to produce the highest quality of fruit. The highest returns in any Exchange association go to growers who produce the best fruit per acre, or who have the largest percentage of their crops sorted into the higher-priced top grades. Likewise each local association competes with the other 201 associations within the exchange. But the rivalry is in operating In this common task Exchange growers and associations stand shoulder to shoulder. Orderly distribution is possible only when the marketing is directed by a central organization that has all the facts about supply and demand everywhere. Marketing through unrelated agencies, each acting independently, inevitably leads to the over or under-supply of some or all markets. Sales competition within the industry can only result in lowering prices. The achievement of the Exchange in successfully marketing the fruit of its 11,000 growers lies in the fact that it handles 75 percent of the yield. As the percent of the crop marketed Under the Exchange system all growers compete to produce the highest quality of fruit. The highest returns in any Exchange association go to growers who produce the most fruit per acre, or who have the largest percentage of their crops sorted into the higher-priced top grades. Likewise each local association competes with the other 201 associations within the Exchange. But the rivalry is in operating efficiency. The association that packs and handles its fruit better, builds a following for labels and wins premiums for its pains. Every Exchange grower and association has the maximum incentive for efficiency in management, economy in operation and skill in method. Through this constructive competition the rewards of success automatically go to the winners in the form of higher returns. But when the lid is nailed on a box of Exchange fruit, competition ceases and co-operation begins. The problem is then to systematically distribute all the California crop all the markets. The real competition is not among Exchange growers and associations. This between California lemons and Italian lemons, California oranges or grapefruit and Florida oranges or grapefruit, citrus fruits against other fruits, fruits against other foods. The achievement of the Exchange in successfully marketing the fruit of its 11,000 growers lies in the fact that it handles 75 percent of the yield. As the percent of the crop marketed through the Exchange has increased the marketing efficiency of the organization has steadily improved. The most beneficial single thing that could happen to the California citrus industry would be to have every carload of California oranges, lentons and grapefruit marketed through the California Fruit Growers Exchange. Then there would be as much competition for quality among California growers and associations as though the Exchange did not exist. But there would be 100 percent co-operation in perfecting the systematic distribution of the entire crop to the markets of the world... and increased returns for every grower. Oranges Sunkist Lemons Grapefruit WHAT THE EXCHANGE IS... The California Fruit Growers Exchange is a non-profit organization of 11,000 California citrus fruit producers, producing about 75% of the California citrus crop, operated by and for them on a cooperative basis. Direct is to develop the national and international market for California oranges, lemons and grapefruit by numerous advertising, and to provide a marketing organization that will sell the fruit of its members most urgently and at least expense. Receipts from sales, less only act costs of operation, are received to the growers. Applications are received through all of the Exchange's 201 local packing associates 23 District Exchanges or at the central office in Los Angeles.
