State School Houses Cost Enormous Sum More Than $312,000,000 Invested in California Ask a tourist or visitor to California for the first time what impresses him most about this state, and the chances are he will reply: "Your beautiful school houses and public buildings." And small wonder that this is true, for the counties of California now have nearly a half billion dollars invested in their public buildings, of which $312,-284,652.40 is for school houses. "The little red schoolhouse" of yesterday has given way to substantial brick or stucco structures, erected with a view both to architectural beauty and schoolroom efficiency. There is hardly a hamlet or village in the entire state that does not now have a splendid and modern schoolhouse for its children. Next in point of money invested by counties of the state come the county hospitals and almshouses. Hospitals represent a total investment of $23,392,-436.25, while courthouses of the state aggregate $22,275,761.44 in value. Other county buildings in the state have the following totals: Halls of records, $4,099,051.85; county jails, $3,148,730.41; county libraries, $1,953,-312.80; other buildings and grounds, $18,193,948.45, and equipment of highway departments, $12,809,033.45. Los Angeles county leads the state with its investment in school buildings, which total $160,358,872.00 in value. Fresno county has the most costly courthouse, a structure valued at $3,-250,000, while Los Angeles heads the list with $7,188,117.64 invested in almshouses and hospitals. Orange county has also provided well for its school children, for out of a total of $11,951,841.93 invested in all the county's building $9,912,567.00 is in schoolhouses. Value of other property owned by the county is as follows: Edison Company May Adopt Bureau Rate The report that the Southern California Edison Company will shortly adopt the agricultural power rate schedule which the farm bureau has induced all the other leading power companies in California to put into practice, makes the proposal of particular interest to Orange county ranch men. The new form of agricultural power schedule is what is commonly called a "two-part" rate. It has a "service charge" which covers the cost of maintaining for the consumer the necessary transformers, service and meter, and also includes cost of meter reading and billing. This charge usually amounts to $5 per horsepower installed per year. These expenses are the same for all consumers having the same size of installation and are independent of the amount of energy used. The second part of the rate is the "energy charge," a charge for kilowatt hours used, and covers the cost of generating, transmitting and delivering the power to the transformers. The amount charged a consumer for energy varies with the total amount used, and this is different for every installation. There is no over-lapping or duplication of charges in a two-part rate. The first part takes care of the charges in connection with equipment installed solely for each consumer's benefit, such as the meter and transformer; the second part covers cost of delivering power to this equipment. The two-part rate is fairer to consumers than any other form yet devised. All farmers should study this rate structure and determine if it will fit their needs. They should notify the farm bureau at an early date if the proposed rate structure does not meet with their approval. Airport Dedicated On July Fourth The formal opening of the Banning airport will be celebrated on July fourth. Summer Auto Will Study Yosemite Officials Them Natural For the ninth year C park naturalist at Yosemite park, aided by Dr. H.C. Torr of the Bureau of Education of Fish and Department of Nature starts the program of co-cation for summer vacation study and field nature at the park this month. This work was started ago by Dr. Bryant and much enthusiasm through and in other states has been found that the fire mation imparted through guide service and the r school has sent hundreds Boy Scout and campfire with an entirely different garding the outdoors, a protection of fish and real conservation of resources of California. Yosemite national park game refuge for almost the birds and animals they protected during this years furnish a won field for study and invest. The school of field teaches a carefully solved 20 students through a period of intensive training fundamental things that fine foundation of nature these students, mostly back to their classroom groups they are handling cellent ideas for the history with the message and protection while ant in the upbuilding resources of the state. The nature guide through lectures and fli tunities to thousands of cation in Yosemite to lea Los Angeles county leads the state with its investment in school buildings, which total $160,358,872.00 in value. Fresno county has the most costly courthouse, a structure valued at $3,250,000, while Los Angeles heads the list with $7,188,117.64 invested in almshouses and hospitals. Orange county has also provided well for its school children, for out of a total of $11,951,841.93 invested in all the county's building $9,912,567.00 is in schoolhouses. Value of other property owned by the county is as follows: Courthouse, $700,000; county jail, $300,000; county library, $60,000; county hospital, $385,000; other buildings, $355,636.82; highway equipment, $208,638.11. Exchange Announces Freight Rate Savings The terminal charge of 3 cents per hundred pounds on California oranges shipped to New England points will be cancelled, effective June 7, resulting in an annual savings to growers of about $35,000, according to C. O. Cornwell, traffic manager of the California Fruit Growers' Exchange, who has charge of such negotiations with the railroads. Mr. Cornwell is also chairman of the traffic committee of the California Citrus League. This action by the carriers definitely establishes the $1.55 rate on oranges to all eastern points, a similar terminal charge at New York and eastern Canadian points having been cancelled last year with a savings to growers of $100,000 annually. The New England lines have agreed, subject to approval of the Interstate Commerce Commission, to refund this terminal charge back to September 1, 1927, which will amount to over $20,000 reparation to exchange growers. The actio not the New England railroads should have a favorable bearing on the reparation case now pending before the Interstate Commerce Commission, wherein refund of approximately $225,000 is asked for the growers covering the New York terminal charge for the three-year period in which it was in effect. Radio Program For Coming Week The following radio program for the week beginning June 11 is under the auspices of the Agricultural Extension Service, co-operating with radio station KFI. Each day at 12:15, a ten minute talk of interest to farmers, growers and producers is given: June 11—"June in the Citrus Orchard," W. R. Schoonover, extension specialist in citrus culture, Riverside. June 12—"Dairy Industry Becoming More Efficient," G. E. Gordon, extension specialist in dairy, University of California. June 13—"Regulation of Commercial Fumigators and Sprayers," K. L. Wolff, deputy horticultural commissioner, Los Angeles county leads the state with its investment in school buildings, which total $160,358,872.00 in value.

Airport Dedicated On July Fourth The formal opening of the Banning airport will be celebrated on July fourth with an air circus and automobile races. More than $200 has been appropriated for the winners in an airplane race from Los Angeles to Banning and automobile races. The event is sponsored by the American Legion and Kiwanis Club. Many noted air pilots and the fastest racing drivers in the Southland will be entered in the events. Practically every airplane stunt known will be demonstrated, and a large exhibition of airplanes will be at the field. The Banning Kiwanis Club raised the money to purchase a tract of 67 acres in Banning for an airport. A runway a half mile long by 500 feet wide has been completed, and the field will be properly lighted before the Fourth. A large hangar is also under construction. The American Legion speedway in Banning has won nation-wide recognition because of the records made on that track. Louis Meyer, who won first place in the 500-mile race at Indianapolis on Memorial Day, had a car entered on the Banning track on the same day, and has often attended the Banning races. He has been invited to be in Banning on the Fourth for the racing events. CANT MEAN CALIFORNIA The eastern farm magazine, "Farm and Fireside," prints some lugubrious and direful letters from farmers' wives which are enough to discourage anyone from entering that ancient profession. The endless chores! The wood, the water, the chickens, the pigs, the babies! And then the farmer, who works a comparatively few hours a day to his wife's twenty-four wonders that she has omitted to sew a button on for him! The conditions reported by these luckless and enslaved ladies are enough to make anyone wish to turn a Saint George and deliver the unfortunate from her dragon of a husband. But we bet a hat, or a hymn book, that these ladies live in the Middle West—Kansas, perhaps, or in New England—for here in California, the down-trodden and enslaved farmer's wife is obsolete. The average rancher's wife in the Golden State is a partner in the business; she is certainly not a bondservant, and she can and does have her "day out." The writer chanced recently to meet a rancher's wife who was in for a bit of shopping—well dressed, rather pretty and quite gay in manner was Madam Bancher. She had been buying rubber week beginning June 11 is under the auspices of the Agricultural Extension Service, co-operating with radio station KFI.

California Bulletin Available Now The above circular is known as No. 18 of the Agricultural Extension Service and may be obtained free of charge by writing to the farm advisor, 110 Hall of Records, Santa Ana. "This circular reproduces," says Prof. B. H. Crocheron, director of agricultural extension, in the foreword, "as faithfully as possible the addresses delivered at the economic conferences held in connection with the visit of the demonstration, train known as the California Agricultural Special to 24 communities of the interior valleys of California during the last two weeks in March, 1928." Fruit crops and livestock are discussed, as well as remedies and adjustments and local progress. Other bulletins on the economics of the various crops in California have recently been issued, and others are forthcoming in the near future. All of these are available upon application to the farm advisor. There's one thing to be said in favor of Mussolini. He doesn't let the Italian senate waste much time filibustering. A lot of cities now have what they call the stagger system of controlling traffic. We had supposed that this system went out with the saloon. Summer Autoists Will Study Nature Yosemite Officials Will Teach Them Natural History For the ninth year Carl P. Russell, park naturalist at Yosemite national park, added by Dr. H. C. Bryant, director of the Bureau of Education of the Division of Fish and Game of the Department of Natural Resources, starts the program of co-operative education for summer vacation in nature study and field natural history in the park this month. This work was started nine years ago by Dr. Bryant and has aroused much enthusiasm throughout California and in other states as well. It has been found that the first-hand information imparted through the nature guide service and the natural history school has sent hundreds of teachers, Boy Scout and campfire leaders home with an entirely different viewpoint regarding the outdoors, as well as the protection of fish and game and the real conservation of the great natural resources of California. Yosemite national park has been a game refuge for almost 40 years, and the birds and animals that have been protected during this long period of years furnish a wonderfully fertile field for study and investigation. The school of field natural history teaches a carefully selected group of 20 students through a seven weeks' period of intensive training in the fundamental things that make for a fine foundation of natural history, and these students, mostly teachers, take back to their classrooms or to the groups they are handling, new and excellent ideas for the study of natural history with the message of conservation and protection which is so important in the upbuilding of the natural resources of the state. The nature guide service offers through lectures and field trips, opportunities to thousands of people who vacation in Yosemite to learn something which are regular features of the work in the park. Dr. Bryant feels that through direct contact with the problems that are present in the field; and the fact that Yosemite is one of the finest game refuges in the country, the information imparted to the thousands who avail themselves of the privilege of studying under the trained specialists who are eager to teach natural history and real conservation is of greater value than any other method of attempting to bring this great study home to the people of the state. "We are proud of the fish and game division's part in this great work being done in Yosemite, and the co-operation between Mr. Russell and Dr. Bryant should bring even greater results this year than the excellent ones which have been accomplished in the past," I. Zellerbach, president of the Fish and Game Commission, commented in discussing the start of the 1928 educational program in Yosemite. Contract Blanks for Deep Well Pumps There has been such a demand for contracts for deep well pumps along the lines suggested by the law and utilities department of the farm bureau, as described in a recent Extension Service bulletin, that the farm bureau has printed a number of blank forms. Anyone who contemplates the purchase of a deep well pump would do well to consider this contract. Copies are available at the farm bureau office and will be distributed to those needing them. The Arctic wastes are being explored again and they may get that part of the world plotted in time to provide some work for the idle real estate promoters in Florida.

The nature guide service offers through lectures and field trips, opportunities to thousands of people who vacation in Yosemite to learn something of a great game refuge as well as the interesting fauna and flora. The fine museum at Yosemite is used as headquarters, and field trips are taken two or three times daily to study first-hand, carefully selected subjects. Trained nature guides are on duty at the fish and game division's hatchery in Yosemite, where visitors are told of the work in fish culture and plaiting done throughout the state. Visitors are shown the various operations and careful explanations are made of the work done. At least 500,000 people visited Yosemite last year, and at least 100,000 were reached through the numerous lectures and field trips. A schedule of field trips for adults and children has been worked out, and longer trips were arranged once or twice weekly. At the evening lectures audiences of 2000 to 3500 persons have listened to the nature study and conservation messages available at the farm bureau office and will be distributed to those needing them.
