This interest has been especially marked since closing of the recent world Games in Europe. In 1932 the entire Olympic program will be held in California. Word has come to Olympiad association directors from the extreme northern counties of the state, from the central portion, from the San Francisco Bay district, the San Joaquin Valley, Imperial Valley and southern cities and towns that chambers of commerce and other local organizations have endorsed enthusiastically Proposition No. 2 on the state ballot for the coming November elections, which asks the voters to approve the action of the recent Legislature in providing financial aid for the 1932 Olympiad. Many prominent men and women throughout the state have indicated their interest in the Games, which embrace competitions in the arts as well as in sports and athletics, and have pledged their support to the state-said proposition. Because the sports and athletic competitions are of great variety requiring varied climatic and topographical conditions, it is not possible to hold all of these events in one locality; it is added, thus assuring a division of the events. This is a further reason for the state-wide interest shown.

Upon their completion they were summarized and great differences in individual costs for like operations noted. For instance, the labor cost per animal ranged from $28.67 to $57.51 for the year with an average of $44.85. Again, the total feed cost per cow for the year ranged from $50.19 to $112.10 with an average of $78.52. The average butterfat production of the herds in the study ranged from 214.4 pounds to 350 pounds, with an average of 272.6 ompds. Seven of the dairies showed a net loss where family labor, interest and depreciation on the investment were taken into consideration. The average cost of producing a pound of butterfat was 54.82 cents. With the idea of obtaining a very comprehensive report on the cost of butterfat production in this section, such a study has been started here. In addition, the individual in the study has been started here. In addition, the individual in the study has the opportunity of comparing his costs with others, which reveals as to whether they are near the average or above or below. In case there are others who wish to carry this study on, application should be made at the Farm Advisor's office.

University College, planned for the purpose of giving partially and fully employed persons opportunity for a university education on a part-time basis over a period of six or more academic years, is a central-city division of the University of Southern California in the Transportation Building. 7th and Los Angeles streets. While work requiring special library facilities and laboratory equipment is conducted in the School of Architecture, the College of Music, and other campus buildings, for convenience, the majority of classes meet downtown. Dr. Ernest W. Tiegs is dean. Budget Chief Bares Saving of Millions Strict economy in all government operations has saved American taxpayers many millions of dollars the last fiscal year. General H. M. Lord, director of the budget, reported to President Coolidge. He told the nation’s chief executive that the “Coolidge economy program” had been carried out to the letter. General Lord listed economics that included taking penitent stubs and sticking them in a holder so they could be used a little longer and repeated use of rubber bands until they were big enough to stretch around a bass drum. His annual report warned that the cost of running the government is mounting annually and said there can be no letup in the economy program. Taking advantage of discounts offered the government by firms furnishing supplies saved $5,513,000 last year and adoption of standard forms for routine business saved another million or more he reported.

T Yolo'and Y National Be it Don’t Be in Hurry To Prune Bush Fruit Don’t be in a hurry to prune your raspberry, blackberry, or other bush fruit vines at this time. The advice comes from the Agricultural Extension Service, represented by the Farm Advisor in the county. There is a tendency in berry growing sections of the county to prune off the old canes during this part of the season. This is a mistake and is not justifiable in any way, either theoretically or practically. From a theoretical standpoint the practice is all wong, because it takes away leaf surface, thus robbing the vine of possible plant food storage by these leaves thus removed. This will result in a weakened young cane for next year’s bearing. Old leaves should be left until they fall off naturally. Then the old wood should be removed. This will give the maximum amount of vigor to new canes. From a practical standpoint: it is no more difficult to differentiate between new and old canes in the wintertime, and thus prune out the old ones, than it is now. Neither is time more valuable in the wintertime than it is now; therefore the practice is not justifiable from the standpoint of pruning labor efficiency. Generally speaking, our time is less valuable during the winter months of December, January and February. We can better afford to prune in these slack months than we can at this time of year. Therefore, the advice is to “lay off the pruning shears” so far as berries (and in fact any fruit) are concerned, until the plant is as nearly dormant as possible.

Others lined up for the local fair are Howard Tegland, Fox O’Callahan, Andrew Jurejur, Fay Adams, western champion calf roper; Breezy Cox, Northern California champion; Fred Padillo, Charles and Ben Ponchentter, Sila Riley, Cliff Helm, Vera McGinnis, Perris Williams, Perty Torrey, Dolores Stelman, Johnnie Cooper, Kenneth Cooper, Ed Bowman, Hank Poots and Gordon Jones. Bod Anderson and Roy Baker will transport 150 horses and a carload of Arizona steers for the various events. The cowboy and cowgirl races will provide the greatest thrills. There will be trick riding, lariat throwing, but it is stated that there will be no unnecessary handling of the wild steers, crucky to animals immediately disqualifying the contestant. The big arena at the fair grounds will be lighted like day for the night rodeo, and it is stated by Manager Hunt that equally as thrilling programs will be presented at night as in the afternoon. Cash prizes are provided, which insures real contests in every event on the long program. The Belcher Extension Annex Mining company working the Little Argonaut and the Lady Bug near Greenwood.

ANAHEIM GAZETTE Reapportionment To Benefit Rurals Agricultural Counties Should Vote for Farm Measure Forty-six rural California counties will make sweeping gains in senatorial representation, if the farm light for legislative reappointment is carried to a successful conclusion at the November election. Ralph H. Taylor, executive secretary of the Agricultural Legislative Committee of California, so declared in making public an analysis of the farm legislative redistricting plan, which will appear on the ballot as Proposition No. 1. In addition to the 46 counties that will win, there not gains in representation. Taylor asserted that all rural districts will be greatly benefited by the new apportment, as it will preside urban domination of producing areas and give the farm representatives equal power with the big metropolitan organizations. Secretary Taylor outlined the advantages of the farm redistricting bill, or Proposition No. 1, as follows: "Forty-six counties, stretching in a formidable array from Del Monte in the North to Imperial in the South, will actually gain in classification by promotion from two, three, four, five or even eight-county districts, to districts in which the senatorial unit is one, two or three counties." "Under the new plan, no senatorial district may be composed of more than three counties and no county can have more than one senator, regardless of population. This system gives 17 additional senate seats to the smaller counties and prevents a few centers of population dominating the entire state." While four counties constituting great agricultural centers—Sacramento, San Diego, Fresno and Salida—now have an senator each and will continue with the same representation, reapportionment will bring them substantial benefits, according to the executive secretary of the agricultural committee. Fresno county, for example, will constitute but one senatorial district. With the gain or three new senatorial districts in the San Joaquin Valley, acres of land, once covered with forests and now denuded, is capable of producing timber crops, while 250,000,000 acres of cut-over land more or less stocked with second growth, will produce full crops under proper forestry management. More careful utilization of the trees that are cut will allow us to cut seven or eight billion board feet less, with diminishing the present rate of corn production and adequate fire protection will add greatly to the producing capacity of the forests. "We must grow timber because nature unrailed will not grow it for us in sufficient quantities, nor can the defeichen in our supplies be made up sources outside our country. It is immediately urgent that full timber creps be grown wherever cut-over land is available for this purpose. It is of vital interest, not only to the landowner, the timber operator, and the manufacturer of forest products, but to every citizen who in one way or another has already felt the first effects of the timber shortage which impoverish and unregulated exploitation of our forest resources is breaking upon us." Paint Discoloration Caused By Moisture The theory that paint applied to certain kinds of wood commonly used as siding for building purposes will necessarily discolor is unsound, according to observations made by the Forest Products Laboratory, United States Department of Agriculture. Laboratory officials who have made a study of this problem maintain that the paint discoloration is usually found on houses built in late summer, fall, or winter, particularly in cases where the woodwork has accumulated excessive moisture from some source. Plastering in cold weather, it is claimed, accounts for many cases of paint discoloration. Part of the moisture evaporated from the plaster condenses on the back of the siding wood and sooner or later passes through the siding to the under layer of the paint film. Experience indicates that in houses which have been thoroughly dried out before painting this condensation of moisture and the consequent blistering While paint blistering and discoloration are more common in the case of new houses they may occur in old houses in which excessive moisture content has developed for some reason. They can be prevented in the case of a house under construction by thoroughly drying the house before the paint is applied. In frosty weather it is necessary to keep the building heated to hasten drying and prevent plaster from freezing. Heat is also desirable in damp weather. If paint discoloration has already developed the remedy is to wait until the house is dried out. Frequently the discolored portion may then be washed off with soap and water, or if it proves more resistant, with cloths moistened with denatured alcohol. It may be necessary in some instances to apply another coat of paint, in which case no reappearance of the discoloration is ordinarily to be anticipated. CENTIPEDE GRASS GETS AHEAD Centipede grass, so called because of its long creeping stolons, which was first imported from China about ten years ago, has proved to be an excellent pasture grass for the Southern States especially on the drier and poorer soils. The grass is propagated vegetatively in much the same way as Bermuda grass. In its early growth the grass is protected from destruction by grazing animals through the closeness with which the runners and leaf blades adhere to the soil. This enables it to become established in pictures even while the land is being grazed. After it becomes thick on the ground, the leaf blades grow somewhat vertically to a height of 3 or 4 inches, and in this state it makes excellent pasture and remains green when other grasses dry up. Centipede grass is not adapted to northern conditions. HANNALEI HILLS A Beautiful Subdivision Under Vista Water. A few lots from 3 to 5 acres at $400 to $600 per acre; easy terms.

Sparhawk, Forest Economist of the U.S. Forest Service in a new Department of Agriculture circular entitled "Why Grow Timber?" The United States is now by far the greatest wood user in the world, using more saw timber than all other countries together, and more than two-fifths of the world's consumption of timber of all kinds. Ever since the cave-man first used population. This system gives 17 additional senate seats to the smaller counties and prevents a few centers of population dominating the entire state." While four counties constituting great agricultural centers—Sacramento, San Diego, Fresno and Salida—now have a senator each and will continue with the same representation, reapportionment will bring them substantial benefits, according to the executive secretary of the agricultural committee. Fresno county, for example, will still constitute but one senatorial district. With the gain or three new senatorial districts in the San Joaquin Valley, however, the representation in the senate of Fresno's agricultural interests will actually be doubled. Similarly, the representation of the Sacramento Valley in the senate will be increased from four to seven, and while Sacramento county will continue to form one senatorial district it will gain having more members with identical interests. Likewise, Senora, already a one-county district, will score an advantage because of a community of interest with Marin county, which will be promoted to a one-county district by the new act. A great gain will be recorded under Proposition No. 1. Taylor declared, for the rural counties of Southern California. Outside of Los Angeles, the southern counties are now arranged in only two senatorial districts, San Bernardino being linked up with Inyo to constitute a third that laps over northern territory. Under the rearrangement, Orange, San Bernardino, Imperial and Riverside will each form a separate senatorial district, while San Diego will continue to constitute one district and gain from increased regional representation. The 46 counties which gain directly in being reorganized into one, two and three-county districts for the purpose of electing a state senator, are recipitated by the Agricultural Legislative committee as follows: Alpine, Butte, Calaveras, Calusa, Conra Costa, Del Norte, El Dorado, Glenn Humboldt, Imperial, Kern, Kings Lake, Lassen, Maderna, Merced, Marin, Mariposa, Mendocino, Modoc, Mono, Nevada, Placer, Plumas, Riverside, San Benito, San Bernardino, San Joaquin, San Luis Obispo, San Mateo, Santa Barbara, Santa Cruz, Shasta, Sierra, Siskiyou, Solano, Stanislaw, Sutter, Tehama, Trinity, Tulare, Tuolumne, Ventura, Yolo and Yuba.

HANNA, San Marcos, Calif. Courtesy to Agents The United States will continue to feed wood indefinitely, says W. N. Sparhawk, Forest Economist of the U.S. Forest Service in a new Department of Agriculture circular entitled "Why Grow Timber?" The United States is now by far the greatest wood user in the world, using more saw timber than all other countries together, and more than two-fifths of the world's consumption of timber of all kinds. Ever since the cave-man first used a woode netub, says Mr. Sparhawk, more and more wood has been needed with advancing civilization. The recent rapid development of substitutes, which brought timberland owners, for whom the growing of trees represents a long-term investment, face to face with the question of the future need of timber, has not changed the trend of development in the use of wood. It is pointed out that the production of substitutes for wood often requires considerable quantities of wood. The mining of coal, for example, requires a billion board feet of wood a year for mine-props and other uses. Brick and concrete dwellings ordinarily use much lumber for interior work, and a great deal of wood is required in concrete construction. Along with the development of substitutes for wood, there is a constant broadening also of the uses for wood. The manufacture of paper and other products from woodpulp, which consumed practically no wood 40 years ago, now takes the equivalent of more than two billion board feet from our forests, besides an equal or greater amount in the form of imported wood, pulp and paper. Wood is now being used in any number of new ways, for example, in the manufacture of phonograph records and viscose sausage casings. The manufacture of artificial silk from wood takes large quantities. A decrease in the per capita consumption of wood, in the opinion of Mr. Sparhawk, will be offset by the normal increase in population. The United States can grow all the timber that it needs, however, to take care of a continuing demand.
