Orange County Finds It Pays to Advertise Raised Thirty-Three Thousand Dollars for Purpose Last Year Orange county, together with the other 57 counties of California, is demonstrating that "It pays to advertise." Taking advantage of the new state law permitting counties to levy taxes for advertising purposes, the counties of this state raised a million and a half dollars the first year the law was in effect, according to records on file in Governor Young's office. Orange county raised $33,658.60, the statement disclosed. Los Angeles county is by far the biggest single county advertiser in the state, having collected $896,472 to "tell the world" about her superior sunshine, fruit, schools and other "selling points" the report shows. The average sum spent per county is $29,540.54. San Francisco ranks next to Los Angeles with a total advertising fund of $140,109.07, while Alameda county comes third with $89,924.25. Sacramento county is fourth on the list, Kern county fifth and Orange county sixth. Ten counties have not yet taken advantage of the law for this purpose, the figures indicate. California's "county advertising" act was introduced before the 1927 session of the California state legislature by Assemblyman Charles F. Reindollar of San Rafael. It had the support of a large number of counties, and passed without much opposition. Under the terms of this law, by which the state officially puts a stamp of approval on advertising by counties, a board of supervisors is permitted to levy a special tax not exceeding 4 cents on each $100 of assessed valuation of all property. Proceeds from this tax must be used solely to advertise and exploit the resources of the county. During the first year of the law's operation a total of $1,539,351.61 was raised for this purpose.

Monday, Children's D ANAHEIM GAZETTE Care of Cane Fruits During Summer Now is the time of year when growers are wondering what to do with suckers on their cane fruits. Inquiries are coming in quite regularly, according to H. E. Wahlberg, Farm Advisor, in whether or not to cut off this year's suckers during the early part of the season and grow next year's cane after the crop is picked. It has been quite common practice in this county among some berry growers to prune out all new growth during the summer season. As fast as this new growth shows up and gets two or three feet long, it is clipped off close to the ground, leaving only the old canes with the fruit on them. This is very nice from the standpoint of pickling, but is very hard on the berry plants. When one considers the only way a plant of any kind can grow is through its leaves, the practice of continually cutting off all new leaf surface would seem rather dangerous. If leaves are cut off as fast as they are produced, it follows that a berry plant cannot become more vigorous as the years go on. Such practice will continually weaken plants. With nearly all cane fruits, it is well to leave new canes, merely keeping them to one side or underneath the trellis of the way of pickers. With raspberries and upright growing blackberries, this can be accomplished by having two wires a foot and a half apart. New canes are then kept on one side, next to one of the wires. They may have to be tied as this wire to hold them away from bearing canes. Fruiting canes are then pulled to the other side of the trellis and are picked from one side. The main thing is, don't continually starve your plants by cutting off leaf surface. They must store up food reserves for next year. Citrus Cost Records Analyzed at La Habra The La Habra Farm Center meeting next Friday evening, June 23, has secured Farm Advisor Wahlberg to present the recent summary of citrus production coasts for Orange county. The study underscores detailed reports of care of Cane Fruits During Summer Hawkins to Face Trial on July 2 Thirty-Three Burglary Charges Listed Against Him By Prosecutor Trial of Johnny Hawkins, well-known Northern Orange county athlete, football and baseball star, has been set for July 2 in superior court at Los Angeles. Hawkins has been disclosing and confessing since his arrest a couple of weeks ago, and now the officials have a list of thirty-three burglaries booked against him. As new crimes are coming to light each day this list may be still lengthened. Some of the burglaries were in Northern Orange county, the homes of his friends being raided. Two or three of them were pulled off in Anaheim. Hawkins has led the officers to numerous places, where he had his loot hidden, and declares that he has never sold any of the stolen articles. It is estimated that the value of the goods carried away by him from other people's homes will all aggregate $100,000. Some of it is still missing, but Johnny's wife is sending down from Vancouver, where she resides, a suitcase filled with "gifts" from her husband, and it is expected that most of the missing articles will be found therein. Scores of persons have identified and recovered articles taken from their homes, which they never expected to ease again. It is believed that practically all of it will eventually be returned to the rightful owners. Hawkins was arraigned for hearing before Judge Gibbs in Los Angeles Monday and bound over for trial on July 2. Ball was fixed at $5000 which was furnished by friends. Fullerton police have been checking over their files of burglary reports of recent months in an effort to determine whether the arrest of Johnny Hawkins in Los Angeles may be a solution to some of the cases, which might otherwise remain a complete mystery. Three or four burglaries in which articles of some value were reported stolen, mostly revolvers, jewelry and small items, are being checked over and the victims will be requested by local Central Committee Contests Imminent The Republican county central committee ballot at the August primary election will show five vacancies. The first district, comprising Santa Ana, will see contests on both the Republican and Democratic committees. Two independent candidates, one in each party, are making the race against the regular slates. Herman J. Zabel, deputy sheriff, is the Republican "extra." while A. B. Berry, newspaper reporter, will try to crowd one of the Democratic slate candidates aside. For the Republican committee, no candidates were filed from the fourth district, which includes the city of Orange. There is one vacancy on the ticket from the third district, which filed six nominations for seven places. There is also one vacancy from the fifth district, where two candidates appeared for three places. Two vacancies out of three places appeared imminent in the second district, but both were filled late Saturday when T. B. Talbert, of Huntington Beach, former chairman of the county supervisors, and Albert E. Ruoof, of Wintersburg, filed their papers. W. M. Morrill, of Garden Grove, had already filed from that district. Irrigate Now To Size Walnuts Now is the time to apply irrigation water to walnuts to insure proper filling of kernels, according to H. E. Wahlberg, Farm Advisor. Some groves are being irrigated now for the first time this year. Groves which had had one irrigation this spring have been found in much better condition than a standpoint of soil moisture than those which have not been irrigated. Several examinations have been made recently showing that unirrigated groves are too dry down as far as the soil tube DELINQUENT NOTICE Office of the Goodwin Mutual Water Company, R.

The study embraced detailed reports from 75 representative groves in the county last year. The Farm Advisor's office has analyzed the records from the standpoint of average costs for fertilizing, irrigation, pest control and other phases of orchard management. This economic study will be continued for a period of five years. Its purpose is to determine the average costs and obtain a standard schedule of costs by which the grower may measure the efficiency of his own orchard operations. The public is invited to hear the report. The meeting will be held at the Washington Granamar school at 7:30 p.m. About the only time a lot of fellows show their religion is when somebody else makes slighting remarks about their church. Fullerton police have been checking over their files of burglary reports of recent months in an effort to determine whether the arrest of Johnny Hawkine in Los Angeles may be a solution to some of the cases, which might otherwise remain a complete mystery. Three or four burglaries in which articles of some value were reported stolen, mostly revolvers, jewelry and small items, are being checked over and the victims will be requested by local police to inspect the Hawkins loot in an effort to see if any of the goods are included in it. Discovery of a suitcase shipped by Mrs. Thelma Hawkins, wife of Johnny, to his sister, Miss Reva Hawkins in Fullerton, led to its confession by local police Monday, who held it until the arrival of Los Angeles officers. Miss Hawkins refused to pay express charges on the bag and turned it over to local police, declaring that she did not want to have anything to do with it. She said she could not understand why it was sent to her instead of to her brother in Los Angeles, as requested in a telegram sent to his wife at Vancouver, Wash. Captain Cato of Willshire division police in Los Angeles reported today that articles of jewelry and women's clothing valued at approximately $500 were found in the suitcase. Some of the articles were immediately identified from descriptions. Captain Cato said. Latest figures on the returning of articles included in the Hawkins loot were given by Captain Cato, who stated that 45 persons had identified articles on display and had given receipts for goods returned to a total value of $30,-100. The returned artifact included 1700 duplicate items and represented insurance to the amount of $12,000, some of which had already been paid by insurance companies. Milk Production Depends on Feed By W. M. CORY, Assistant Farm Advisor Records tending to show that as the inherent characteristics of a cow for milk production increases, her ability to transform raw materials into milk becomes more efficient have been somewhat disproven recently in a carefully conducted test at Cornell. From their report it would appear that in order to double the production, approximately twice the feed would have to be consumed. True some individuals make more efficient use of their feed than others, but on the average, which must be the basis of conclusions, the cow producing 300 pounds of butterfat a year would consume but half as much as the cow producing 600 pounds of butterfat. Assuming that in equal volumes of the feed there were equal heat units. Where the big advantage is realized in having a heavy producer is in labor and use of buildings and equipment. Hold Demonstration On Scaly Bark The final demonstration on Scaly Bark control for orange trees is scheduled to be held at La Habra next Friday, June 29, 10 a.m. The field demonstration will be held at the place of John Knudson, corner Center street and Walnut. This is the sixth demonstration for the series on disease control of citrus fruits. Farm Advisor Wahlberg will have charge of the meeting and explain the cause and nature of the disease. He will be assisted by John Knudson, local Farm Center president, in showing the method of scraping the diseased trees. Growers who have not attended one of the previous demonstrations are invited to be present. Land for Oranges and Avocados Forty acres best land in Elsinore valley, 45 miles from Anaheim.

This condition is not favorable to the filling of kernels or sizing of nuts in those groves. On the other hand, the application of too much water is unnecessary. The average soil will be wetted from 7 to 12 inches deep with each acre inch of water applied. Taking an average of 10 inches wet soil per acre inch of irrigation water, the application of 10 acre inches per acre should wet fairly heavy soil down 8 feet deep. The application at this time to the usual soil of 6 to 7 acre inches should give 7 to 8 feet penetration, provided the grove has been irrigated once before this season. The question for each grower to declude is: How long must the water run to get 1 acre inch on the land? Perhaps this rule will help you to figure it out; 50 miners inches will cover 1 acre 1 inch deep in 1 hour. For example, let us assume a ten-acre grove and a 35-inch stream. We wish to put on 1 acre inches of water. Ten acres, 7 inches deep, means 70 acre inches. A 35-inch stream will furnish 7-10 of 1 acre inch per hour. We have, there-fore, merely to divide 70 inches by our fraction, 7-10, and we find 100 hours of flow are required. Easy to apply! BARRELED SUNLIGHT flows freely and leaves no brush marks.
