Arranging Camp For Annual Outing Osceola Being Prepared for Reception of 'Y' Boys Plans for camp management and camp program were under final consideration at a meeting of camp leaders held at the Y.M.C.A. last evening, preparatory to the opening of the Y.M.C.A. summer camp at Osceola next week. The program for the camp this year is more definitely of an educational sort than in the past, and in the opinion of Boys' Secretary T. P. McKee, who will direct the camp for the boys, it is going to be more than ever an occasion of substantial growth and benefit for the boys who attend. The schedule of activities includes the usual lineup of games, hikes, swims, fishing, campfires and other entertainment and recreational events. The Bible study courses for this season have been worked out by the leaders so as to make the work fit the camp atmosphere, and the work as planned on "Building Character" promises to be of unusual value to the boys. Regular courses in nature study and campercraft have been projected, and the leaders have been making special preparation for their work as directors of the courses. The course planned, and the leaders are as follows: Wild flowers, led by Colenan Hickey; trees and birds, led by R. H. McArthur; amateur photography, Lyle Forman; dramatics, L. R. McMullen; first aid. Norvin Brothers; insect life, Homer Humphrey; campercraft; Gilbert Myers. The camp schedule will make it possible for each boy to take up any two of these courses during the camp period. The class hour will come daily at the middle of the morning, and classes and subjects will be given in rotation. McKee states that his camp roster is almost filled. A few places are still open for late comers. The boys leave for camp on Thursday, June 21, to stay for two full weeks. Increased Facilities For Summer School Completion of Bridge hall, on the campus of the University of California, during the past semester has considerably increased the classroom and lecture hall facilities that will soon be put to use for the 1928 summer session of the university, while housing conditions have been greatly improved by the construction since previous summer of Aeneas hall. The summer session will open Monday, June 18, and will be divided into three parts, the eight weeks' session. July 2 to August 11, and post-summer session. August 13 to September 4. The construction of Bridge hall has added a four-tory, well-equipped classroom building to the Trojan campus. Aeneas hall is a three-story residential building which during the summer will be occupied on the top floor by men and on the two lower floors by women. Students attending the University of Southern California summer session will also be housed in the Women's Residence hall. Y. M. C. A., Y. W. C. A.

THINGS WORTH KNOWING Q.-Does Germany pay pensions to widows of her soldiers who served in the World war? A.-Yes. Q.-Where is the island of Iona? For what is it noted? A.-A small island of the Hebrides, about 30 miles from the mainland of Scotland. It has an area of 2000 acres. It is celebrated for its ancient ruins and especially from its connection with St. Columbus, who took up his residence there after the middle of the sixth century. Forty-eight kings of Scotland and four of Ireland and eight of Norway are said to be buried on the island. Q.-Who invented the sun command used by Commander Byrd in his flight to the North Pole, and how does it op- WATCH THE BACK-WASH When co-operative marketing was first proposed as an integral part of the agricultural industry, many men then engaged in various phases of farm production, distribution and selling smiled skeptically and viewed the efforts of the co-operative-minded with tolerant good nature. When, to their surprise, the idea found a place in the minds of growers throughout this country and began to sprout, they straightened in their chains. Today, with co-operative activity sweeping into prominence throughout the world, they have arisen to their feet and beunt to talk and write and wave their arms. The advent of co-operation has made itself felt in more than one quarter and those whose visions of continued prosperity, at the expense of the farmer, have been rudely upset, are now telling the world just what a terrible and unwarranted movement collective action is and will prove itself more fully to be. Co-operation is now getting the first back-wash resulting from its general practical and commercial application to agriculture. This is a natural reaction. That it has not come sooner is one of the inexplicable things. Men usually complain when their established avenues of material gain are imperilled. In the present instance, so strongly were many convinced of the futility of getting agriculture organized that they sat too long at their desks. The waves gre wto large proportions before they got out their lifeboats and unslung their buoyant rafts. Caught in the tidal wave, suddenly they found themselves left high and dry on a barren shore. Out beyond the breakers, the ship of co-operation sails—sound and seaworthy. Gasping in the back-wash, these opponents of co-operation hurl their challenges at co-operation. "The government has no right to help co-operatives," some argue. "They are taking our taxes and using the money to put us out of business." others contend. "The farmers should not be allowed to unite." . . . "It's not right." "The farmers are being hoodwinked." The attitude of the foes and parasites of agriculture has changed from "it can't be done" to "don't let them keep on doing it!" Agriculture is visibly demonstrating that it can organize for the common good of its members; that it can solve its problems without the intervention of some, perhaps, well intentioned but notably ignorant (as to agriculture) political fiends. Since the war, the farmer has Snake Gall Flavor In Chinese Drink Cantonese toppers prefer to see their snakes before drinking rather than after.

The attitude of the foes and parasites of agriculture has changed from "it can't be done" to "don't let them keep on doing it!" Agriculture is visibly demonstrating that it can organize for the common good of its members; that it can solve its problems without the intervention of some, perhaps, well intentioned but notably ignorant (as to agriculture) political flends. Since the war, the farmer has come to realize that his ability to make a profit depends on his ability to put his investment into direct competition with organized big business. Through co-operation, he is cleaning out inefficiency and getting a firmer grasp on the situation. No longer is he guided by false prophets and forced to take for his produce just what some kindly (?) buyer out of great generosity (?) deigns to offer him. No—co-operative marketing has not reached its highest point of efficiency. But it is progressing—progressing so steadily and surely that screams of protest come out of the back-wash made by the launching of its first battle fleet. From editorial rooms, from platforms, from pseudo farm organizations come arguments and protests attempting to prove the fallacy of co-operative endeavor. And they will continue to come until agriculture finally gets control of every phase of its industry and steers its own ship. Watch the back-wash. Do not be alarmed by propagandists. Stick to your ship and you'll reach port safely. Let the speculator flounder on the decrepit raft you've abandoned. A little privation may do him good. ASK FOR WELL TEST The farm bureau directors have requested at least three wells to be put down adjacent to the proposed fish pond near Westminster. Records are to be kept on the water levels of these wells to determine the effect the fish pond might have on adjacent land through seepage. It's all right to talk about cheap politics, but they're never cheap when you have to run in a primary.

Snake gall is an ingredient of a favorite winter beverage of Canton epicureans who have the price. After the order is given, a deft, blue-gowned waiter brings in a cageful of ceptiles from which the guest may choose. Only three deadly species are considered suitable for the preparation of this ambrosia, the hooded cobra, the yellow-and-black banded bamboo viper, and the tree adder. When the guest has made his choice the waiter, with skill born of long practice, lifts the snake from the cage, evades its fangs and quickly extracts the gall bladder, which is squeezed into a cup of hot rice wine. The operation does not kill the snake. Cobra-wine costs 50 cents a cup. Addicts say it has a bitter-sweet flavor, leaves a pleasant taste and is very good for rheumatism. Flesh of these three snake species is also considered a cold weather delicacy in Canton. It is mixed with chicken, bamboo-shoots and mushrooms and costs $2.50 a plate. A proper snake-meat feast, with all trimmings, such as is given by wealthy hosts, costs about $100. Bureau to Gather Labor Statistics The farm bureau is co-operating with other organizations in making a study of the labor situation in the Southwest. This work was undertaken to gather statistics which might affect Mexican immigration legislation. As congress refused to make this investigation, the farm bureau has assumed the leadership in the work, co-operating with the California development board. In this study information relative to all classes of unskilled labor will be gathered both in California and the other states of the Southwest. LEGION NOTES Spurred on by the disastrous grain fire in the Sacramento valley last week, John R. White, chairman of the state conservation committee of the American Legion, has appealed to all posts of the World war veterans' organization to form fire prevention and firefighting units for work in the coming months. Each post of the American Legion will be asked to be ready for instant service in fighting fires during the summer months, according to White. In the San Joaquin valley several posts have already secured movable firefighting apparatus for work in combing, grain and grass fires. Chairman White announces that his committee will co-operate with the American Legion's state emergency committee, headed by Sidney Hotchner of San Francisco, in outlining a plan whereby ex-service men will be available in various communities of the state for fire-fighting duties on a few hours' notice. St. George Pelham Bissell, chef de chien de fer, in plain words, head of the Forty and Eight Society, the American Legion playground, is to make a visit to California this month. He will arrive on June 17 and will spend five days in the Yosmite valley. Bissell's family will accompany him on his tour of the state. San Francisco is to be visited by Bissell on June 22 and 23, when the Forty and Eight members from northern California vultures of the organization will be the hosts to the visitor. Bissell will pay his official call upon the combined volutes of Southern California gathered at Los Angeles, June 26-27. Congressman Charles F. Curry of the Third district has requested Secretary of the Navy Curtis D. Wilbur to have destroyers detailed to Stockton during the coming American Legion excavation there in August. Wilbur has promised to secure the craft, if destroyers are available for the duty at that time. Two men caught throwing burning cigarette butts from an automobile while passing a grain field. They were fined $50 each in a justice's court. The move was launched at the request of Governor Young, who has given orders to the division and the state forestry department to use every means to protect forests and grain fields from destruction. Recent heavy losses have been traced directly to careless smokers. Officers are required under the division's order to make a report of all arrests and the disposition of each case. Officials announced the campaign would be continued throughout the fire hazard season. Production Costs Of Birds Tabulated Last year production costs were kept on 14,000 birds in the county and upon its completion, enough co-operators began keeping records to bring this total up to more than 24,000 birds for this year. As a part of the service extended to co-operators, monthly production summaries of each flock are compiled and returned. The average production for this month was 56 per cent and 1.7 per cent mortality. The highest producing flock averaged 73.3 per cent and the lowest 47.3 per cent. The highest mortality was 2.8 per cent and the lowest .75 per cent. Nothing looks quite so pathetic around a national convention as a doorkeeper without a door. Farm Bureau Will Not Accept Agency The Orange County Farm Bureau will not accept the agency of any automobile insurance company, according to the decision of the directors at their meeting June 7. Realizing that farmers did not present the insurance hazard as did their city brother who drove in continuously congested areas, the farm bureau sought to develop a plan of auto insurance that would permit farmers to benefit from their position. Several plans and several companies were investigated, and at one time it was reported that the bureau was entering the insurance field. Conditions have changed since the beginning of the investigations and the decision of the directors was influenced by the understanding that the field had been covered. The opinion was advanced that the farm bureau should create a service when such a service was not otherwise obtainable, but that the farm bureau should not engage in any competitive business. Junior College to Teach Agriculture The new terminal course to be offered by the Santa Ana Junior College, based on the science of agriculture and providing for those who are financially unable to continue further agricultural education at the university, met the hearty approval of the board of directors of the Orange County Farm Bureau when it was explained to them by President K. K. Hammond. A committee of the farm bureau has been working with the educators to develop agricultural education, and it is believed that this course offers the first step toward that desired end.

Us assume that a second association has been organized and that it has signed the remaining one-quarter of the crop which Exchange does not now handle. When imagine that you yourself have been sent to sell fruit for this smaller cooperative. A load of oranges is scheduled to arrive in your territory within a day or two. What will be your story when you approach a prospective buyer? Would it be "BETTER FRUIT"? Buyers well know that Exchange fruit is uniformly dependable. Years of experience have made them skeptical of unknown brands. Would it be that you have "A BRAND OF FRUIT THAT WOMEN RECOGNIZE"? Buyers will tell you that "Sunkist" is on every housewife's lips. That Sunkist is a byword on the nation. WOULD YOU OFFER TO SELL FOR LESS? No. Because to prove that two cooperatives are necessary you must get more money than the exchange financial return is the only gauge by which your theory can be proved. WHAT WOULD YOU DO? You might blame your California office. Perhaps they should have shipped the car to another point. You might wire suggesting the car be diverted to a big population center... an auction market. But your California office would say, "No, our brand has no standing in the large consuming centers." You would be asked to "submit best offer." This you would do and the answer would probably come back, "SELL." JOIN THE EXCHANGE Competition in production, in improving the quality of fruit, packing and handling is an excellent practice.

Should it be that you have "A BRAND OF FRUIT THAT WOMEN RECOGNIZE"? Buyers will tell you that "Sunkist" is on every housewife's lips. That Sunkist is a byword for the nation. Should you offer "SERVICE THAT THE EXCHANGE DOES NOT OFFER"? Buyers know that the Exchange, by handling a larger volume of the total crop is better able to supply them fruit throughout the year. They know that Exchange dealer service men make 75,000 calls on retailers each year, many in their territory. They know that the Exchange is better able to apply them with reliable market data because has first hand information on the bulk of the crop covering all districts where the fruit is raised. Competition in production, in improving the quality of fruit, packing and handling is an excellent practice. The Exchange employs it constantly. But competition in selling means less profit for all. Cooperation in selling, on the other hand, means an evenly distributed crop. It means the securing of the highest prevailing prices in the different markets of America, and abroad. It means a decreased cost of production through cooperative buying in larger quantities. It means a greater advertising campaign to further increase the average per capita consumption of citrus fruits. It means lower selling cost through larger volume. It means more profit to every grower. More growers in the Exchange means more money for California citrus fruits. Talk to the manager of the nearest Exchange Association or District Exchange.
