Getting Ready for Olympic Carnival High Schools Prominent in Contests at Los Angeles June 16 Under the chairmanship of Harold B. Franklin, the show committee for the Olympic carnival and entertainment to be held at the coliseum in Los Angeles on Saturday, June 16, is making rapid progress in finishing details of its program. High schools throughout Southern California will contribute to the 1000-piece massed high school band that will play during the afternoon. Negotiations are being conducted with John Philip Sousa, and it is possible the famous bandmaster will conduct the playing. Four trophies have been offered by Franklin and three members of his committee for high schools of Southern California, the students at which sell the highest proportionate number of tickets to the festival. As the trophies will be awarded according to school enrollment—to schools of 500 students, schools of 1200, of 1800, and of the "unlimited" class—there will be opportunity for all to win. "High schools," Franklin said, "will play an important part in the Southwest Olympic finals, which will constitute the athletic portion of the coliseum program. Many high school students will compete for places on the American Olympic team, and their interest in selling tickets, which will aid in raising the $100,000 fund needed to send the Southwest's star athletes to the international games at Amsterdam this summer is apparent." Interest continues to grow in the "race of the century" between Charles W. Padlock Charley Borah, and Frank Wykoff. An effort is being made by the Southern California Olympic Games committee to have the race set at 100 yards instead of 100 meters, which, it is thought, might bring in either Borah or Wykoff ahead of the "fastest human." Exhibitions of a unique character by Hoover Firm for Protective Policy Recites Benefit of Tariff Law In His Speeches Benefits of Prttection Excerpt from address delivered at Duluth, Minn., October 23, 1926, at a Republican rally. Subject of address, "Republican Policies and Necessity for Support of Republican Party in Election." "I well recollect that at the time the tariff law was passed, it was predicted it would destroy our foreign trade, yet under it our foreign commerce—both imports and exports—have steadily increased until they have reached the highest volume known in all the peace-time history of our country. "It was predicted that it would unreasonably increase prices, yet government statistics show price levels of articles on the tariff free list have increased on average more than the price list of articles on the protected list. "It was predicted that under the increased tariff, incentive to efficiency in industry would be decreased because of the lessening pressure of competition, but our country shows today that never in any period in any land has there been such a remarkable increase in industrial efficiency on the part of both employer and employee as has been witnessed in our country during the last five years. "It was predicted that the tariff law would retard American prosperity, but under it we have come into the fullest measure of prosperity that the world has ever witnessed. "It was predicted that this tariff law would make the rich richer and the poor poorer, but there was never in the whole history of the country so little poverty and so wide a diffusion of comfort as there is today."

Spring Irrigation Needs Attention By HAROLD E. WAHLBERG Farm Advisor To irrigate or not to irrigate—that is the question. It is not a question peculiar to this season, but comes up perennially. The relationship of soil moisture to tree growth and fruit production is one of the fundamental factors of citrus production and to walnut production, too, but possibly not to such a fine degree. I have noticed several heads of water running in citrus groves recently that I know are doing more harm than good. Soil borings show an adequate amount of moisture present in the upper three or four feet, which is the average root zone under Orange county conditions. In the deeper soils we find citrus roots going down five or six feet. During April and May the soil is just beginning to warm up after the cooler winter season. Trees that showed a tendency to a yellowish cast in their leaves in the winter months are beginning to turn greener, and take on a healthier appearance. The change for the better is due to the bacterial activity increasing as the soil warms up. Now comes Mr. Farmer, who throws cold water on the situation. What happens? The soil temperature is chilled, the air spaces are waterlogged, and the bacteria are discouraged in their good work, making available the valuable nitrates which are so essential to plant growth, and particularly the setting of the fruit at this time. Then we wonder sometimes why our fruit doesn't act. Of course this is not the only reason for small fruit sets, but is a contributory factor in too many groves. The right time to start spring irrigation in the citrus grove can only be judged by use of the soil sugar and not by surface indications. Light, sandy soils need irrigation now, loam soils somewhat later, and the heavier soils possibly not till June. Last year many claim loam orchards were not irrigated till July. The lack of it was predicted that the tariff law would retard American prosperity, but under it we have come into the fullest measure of prosperity that the world has ever witnessed. "It was predicted that this tariff law would make the rich richer and the poor poorer, but there was never in the whole history of the country so little poverty and so wide a diffusion of comfort as there is today." Tariff and the Farmer Excerpt from address delivered at Topeka, Kansas, October 26, 1926, at a Republican rally in support of the election of Senator Curtis and Republican candidates for Congress. "No one can say that our farmer has not enjoyed higher prices for many of his products as the result of the duties collected upon $740,000,000 worth of imported agricultural products. And when our opponents discuss reducing the tariff they mean not alone reducing the tariff on cotton goods, steel or typewriters, they mean also to reduce the tariff on wheat, on wool, on meat, butter and flaxseed. I do not for one moment believe that the farmer wishes to abandon this great measure of protection. Moreover, our farmers are vitally interested in maintaining high standards of living amongst our workers in other industries than agriculture." "The sole market of the full stomach at home is better than the chance to compete for the stomach of the under-fed worker abroad whose buying power National First Prize was Baked on ELECTRIC RAN particularly the setting of the fruit at this time. Then we wonder sometimes why our fruit doesn't act. Of course this is not the only reason for small fruit sets, but is a contributory factor in too many groves. The right time to start spring irrigation in the citrus grove can only be judged by use of the soil sugar and not by surface indications. Light, sandy soils need irrigation now, loam soils somewhat later, and the heavier soils possibly not till June. Last year many claim loam orchards were not irrigated till July. The lack of late spring rains, however, this year may require a somewhat earlier application, but as I said before, intelligent irrigation can be guided only by the use of the soil auger. Grain Growers Have Field Day May 12 By W. M. CORY Assistant Farm Advisor The grain growers of the county meet together one day each year to get a line on what the other fellow is doing in the way of improving his crop yields and to inspect the variety planting conducted by the Agricultural Extension Service. This year will make the seventh annual field day. On this occasion the El Tero folks extend their hospitality to grain growers of the county and visitors interested in the grain improvement program. The meeting place has not been definitely decided upon, but will be announced later. Grain men should make note of the date, as an interesting and educational program is being planned. QUARANTINE FRUIT A grapefruit was recently taken in quarantine at Santa Ana which had been forwarded by the Chamber of Commerce of San Benito, Texas. The package bore the federal certificate required on citrus fruits from Texas to indicate freedom from Mexican fruit fly. This, however, is not sufficient to permit it to move into California, since it may carry citrus canker, which cannot be detected by inspection. ANAHEIM GAZETTE is limited. How important this is, is shown by the record of consumption of agricultural products in the year 1921, when we were overwhelmed with unemployment and the buying power of our own workers was limited. In that year the American consumption of meats, fats, and other refined agricultural products dropped nearly 18 per cent, an amount greater than our total foreign market of agricultural commodities. The Western Farmer Excerpt from radio address delivered by Herbert Hoover, at Denver, October 25, 1924. "Another of our issues is the tariff. "The Fordney tariff provides greatly increased duties on Colorado fruits, beans, peas, grain, sugar, beets, potatoes, wool, poultry, eggs, dairy produce, hay and livestock. If the tariff were taken off of these Colorado specialized agricultural products today the prices would fall and the Colorado farmer would suffer. He would suffer because beans and eggs and dairy products and wool and sugar and potatoes can be produced in foreign countries and shipped to eastern United States; for less money than they can be produced in Colorado and shipped to the great markets in this country. Steamship rates from Mediterranean countries, from Manchuria, are less than rail rates from Colorado to the markets and the labor in those countries receives about one-third of the return in purchasing power that the labor of Colorado receives. "It is claimed that it is an endowment of the great manufacturers of the East. It is to be noted, however, that there is no tariff on the lumber or cement that the Colorado farmer uses. There is no tariff on his agricultural machinery, his fertilizers, his gaboline, his harness or many other of the important things he uses. If it were true that the tariff is a great endowment of the eastern manufacturers, then some one should explain why the greatest cotton spinning company in this country—the American Woolen Company—has been unable to pay its dividends. And yet the Colorado farmer is getting the benefit of increased wool prices." It means a loss of this agriculture. It means a degradation of homes. It means a loss of jobs to those who work for wages in the industry. It is useless for candidates of other parties in this state to promise they will protect Colorado products. Their parties are pledged to reduce the tariff. Their candidates in 47 other states are pledged to carry out this reduction." Automobile Notes Trouble is looming for the "one-eyed" automobile on the roads at night. An unhappy time is in store for drivers of such cars, as state traffic officers are hot on the trail of those who operate after dark with only one headlight burning. A warning and a citation to have their lights in proper shape within 24 hours is given for the first offense. Drivers found guilty a second time will be arrested. While the "one-eyed" motorist is being sought chiefly, the fellow without his tail-light burning at night, especially on heavily traveled boulevards is apt to be picked up at any moment by one of the 250 state officers taking part in the campaign. Check your lights and keep them in proper shape, is the warning being broadcasted by the auto club. Unless there are heavy storms, the public auto camps of the Giant Forest, Sequoia national park, will be ready for visitors from now until the fall. Owing to the light snowfall in the high Sierra, indications are that fishing in the Sequila park will be good early in the season as the streams all are reported clear and low. Camps for anglers will be found at Potwisha, Hospital Rock, and Morro Creek. Southern California towns may look for an increase of 50 per cent in motor tourists during the coming summer season. A check of the first three months of this year shows that three inquiries were received so far every two received during the same period last year. Among the thousands of requests for information regarding motor trips in this section are many from the eastern states indicating that not only will California motorists take vacations in a year but also will spend an average of $10,000,000 a day throughout the country in touring. Estimates from the east state that 11,000,000 of the nearly 24,000,000 motor vehicles in the country will be used at some time during this year in vacation joints. It is figured that motorists the country over will spend an average of $10,000,000 a day throughout the country in touring. The jaywalker still continues to lead in fatalities resulting from motor vehicle accidents in Los Angeles county, according to figures for the first three months of this year. Seventy-eight pedestrians were killed during these three months. The total of all motor vehicle accidents...

Seventy-eight killed during these motor vehicle acci- dent fatalities for the first quarter of the year in Los Angeles county is 152, a gain of five deaths for the same period of last year. With the prospects of an unprecedented touring season, the big motoring organization urges all motorists to be exceptionally careful in driving during the coming months. Completion of the survey is announced for a new entrance to San Fernando valley from the north to relieve the traffic congestion between Saugus and San Fernando. The engineering departments of the California Highway Commission, the county and city of Los Angeles, and the Auto-mobile Club of Southern California have been working on a plan for more than a year. This announcement will be welcome news to all motorists who have had to pass through this territory. The new road will leave the Ridge Route midway between Castilac and Saugus and extend southeasterly through Gavin and Weldon canyons to a junction with the San Fernando road just south of the viaduct of the Southern Pacific railway at Tunnel Station. The new road, it is said, is one of the most important highway improvements proposed in many years, as it will relieve the "bottle-neck" formed by the Newhall tunnel, one of the most heavily traveled roads in the state. Two sets of brakes are required on motor vehicles, according to amendments to the highway traffic act of Ontario, Canada. One clause requires that all cars be equipped with two systems of brakes affecting at least two wheels, so designated that failure of one system will not effect the operations of the other. This amendment becomes effective July 1, 1928. NEW JERSEY PICNIC All who ever lived in the state are called to meet under the auspices of the New Jersey Association of Southern California for a great picnic reunion, all day Saturday, May 12, 1928, in Sycamore Grove park. Come early and spend the day with old home state friends. There will be county registers and headquarters, a brief program opening about 2 o'clock, with music and short talks. President C. Newton Miller will preside and have charge of the day. The main purpose will be to have a good time; let the people do the talking. All the tourists and visitors from the old home are wanted. Coffee will be served free to all who buy the silk souvenir badges. Each one who learns of this is asked to pass the word along. Further information may be had of the president, or of C. H. Parsons, secretary of the Federation of State Societies, office in the Hotel Rosslyn, Main and Fifth streets. Los Angeles; phone Faber 3300, where the great New Jersey state register may be seen.
