Forest Fire Loss Over Million Dollars Orange County Figure Is Small Compared to Others Orange and Los Angeles counties share of California's million-dollar fire loss during the 1928 season now drawing to a close was more than $35,000, a check-up by State Forester M. B. Pratt revealed. A total of 7245 acres in the counties were blackened by the flames that swept across grain, grass, brush and timber land, the report said. Most of the fires were man-caused, started by lighted cigarette butts carelessly tossed from automobiles. "The greatest tragedy of California's fire season this year was the destruction of a half-million dollars worth of standing grain, ripe and ready for the harvest," Pratt commented. Yolo county, with a total of 62,490 acres of land burned over, was the heaviest loser in the state. That county's total fire damage was $436,391, of which 8572 acres was grain land. The grain loss to farmers was $375,240. The fact that Yolo county has no cooperative fire protection agreement with the state, should cause the loss to be keenly felt, Pratt said. Colusa county was the next heaviest loser, with 35,128 acres destroyed and damage aggregating $193,614, of which grain damage was $152,105. Other heavy fire losses by counties were: Calaveras county, 39,564 acres, $38,-694; Madera county, 31,472 acres, $29,-061; Kern county, 31,326 acres, $27,900; Riverside county, 28,177 acres, $32,589; and Fresno county, 22,561 acres, $28,962. Valuable watershed land, totaling 107,359 acres, was one of the largest losses, according to the state forester. Riverside county, denuded of 18,744 acres, Calaveras county with 13,071 acres and Santa Barbara county with 6504 acres of brush destroyed, wore the counties having the greatest damage from removal of invaluable waterhed cover. The total acreage burned over in California to the present date is 365,018 States from its relatively weak position of 70 years ago to its present place of wealth and power, are set forth in a masterly manner in the Republican Tariff Textbook. The Textbook is a comprehensive review of tariff history in the United States, abounding in statistical and other information concerning the economic position of the United States. Aplyly, it opens with this quotation from the speech of acceptance of Herbert Hoover: "The Republican Party has ever been the exponent of protection to all our people from competition with lower standards of living abroad. We have always fought for tariffs designed to establish this protection from imported goods. "We have pledged ourselves to make such revisions in the tariff laws as may be necessary to provide real protection against the shiftsings of economic tides in our various industries. I am sure the American people would rather entrust the perfection of the tariff to the consistent friend of the tariff than to our opponents, who have always reduced our tariffs, who voted against our present protection to the woker and the farmer, and whose whole economic theory over generations has been the destruction of the protective principle." Protection For Public and Growers A Chicago manufacturer of powders used in making scott drinks was recently ordered by the Federal Trade Commission to stop advertising names of fruits as descriptions of products not composed wholly of such fruits or the juice of such fruits. Powders labeled with names containing the words lime, lemorif and orange, contained none of those fruits, but were made up principally of a tartaric acid base to which was added oil of lime, oil of lemon, and oil of orange, derived from the peel of those fruits. They were artificially colored with coal tar colors. The commission ordered the company to cease and desist from: "(1) Using or authorizing the use by others in interstate commerce of the words 'cherry,' 'strawberry,' 'grape'." W. C. T. U.

Indeterminate Result From Sulfuring Soils By ERIC E. EASTMAN Assistant Farm Advisor Some analyses have just been made which emphasize the fact that sulphuring soils is advisable only under certain rather well definite conditions, and that when all the conditions are not fulfilled, no results may be anticipated. In the case under consideration, inoculated sulphur was applied last year to twelve rows of mature citrus trees, and the adjacent twelve rows were maintained as a check. No other treatment was given. Samples taken near the center of each plot tested as follows, in parts or million: Ingredient Surface Soil— Carbonates ... 72 240 Nil Bicarbonates ... 1025 976 1220 Chlorides ... 200 320 1100 Sulphates ... 75 150 2500 Subsurface Soil— Carbonates ... Trace Nil Bicarbonates ... 1025 1244 Chlorides ... 400 130 Sulphates ... 125 125 There appears to have been some transference of the salts in both cases, but without any significance. In fact there is no benefit to be observed whatsoever. The reclamation of a black alkali soil depends first upon adequate underdrainage. Secondly, large amounts of manure should accompany the sulphur. Finally, thorough leaching with good water is essential. Uninoculated sulphur has given equally satisfactory results as the inoculated sulphur. Gypum may be used instead of surphur, but twice the weight is required. Where the above conditions have been fulfilled, reclamation has been successful in Orange county, but sulphur alone has never proved profitable according to our records and observations. Farmers in Orange county, who are troubled with alkali soils are invited to avail themselves of the facilities of the land for oranges. LAND FOR ORANGES The commission ordered the company to cease and desist from: "(1) Using or authorizing the use by others in interstate commerce of the words 'cherry,' 'strawberry,' 'grape,' 'raspberry,' 'raso-o-berry,' 'pineapple,' 'lime,' 'lemon,' or 'orange,' either independently or in conjunction or combination with any other word or words letter or letters, as a corporate or trade name, or as a trade brand or designation in advertising or on labels, packages, or other containers or otherwise, in connection with the sale or distribution, in interstate commerce, of a product which is not composed wholly of the natural fruit or juice of the fruit of the cherry, strawberry, grape, raspberry, pineapple, lime, lemon, or orange, respectively: Provided that, when a product is composed in substantial part of an ynatural fruit or juice of such fruit, so as to derive its color and flavor from said fruit and the name of the said fruit is used in a corporate or trade name, or as a trade brand or designation for said product, the name of said fruit shall not be used unless said name is immediately accompanied with some other word or words, letter or letters, displayed in type equally as conspicuous as that in which the name of the fruit is displayed clearly indicating that said product is not made wholly from the natural fruit, or juice of the fruit designated, and that will otherwise indicate clearly that the product is composed in part of an ingredient or ingredients other than the natural fruit or juice of the fruit designated. "(2) Using or authorizing the use by others, in interstate commerce in advertising or upon business stationery or on containers or on labels, or otherwise, of any word or words, picture or symbol falsely representing or suggesting that a product is made from or contains the natural juice or fruit of the cherry, strawberry, grape, raspberry, pineapple, lime, lemon or orange, respectively." The California Fruit Growers' Exchange has accomplished much and has invested considerable money in establishing the superior food and health value of real fresh fruit orange and lemon drinks. The organization and entire citrus industry are naturally vitally concerned when manufacturers claim for their manufactured products flavor, healthful qualities and other properties found only or to much greater extent in fresh fruit juices. Federal and State enforcement agencies are constantly at work, as is the case cited above, in the interests of both producer and consumer.

"AS MAINE GO" Four years ago Maine gave public ticket a majority o Two years ago the major o This year, in the recent voters endorsed Republican HOOVER AND THE TARIFF Not the least transparent piece of ballyhoo that has gone up from the cohorts of Boss Raskob is that which concerns the alleged conversion of the Democratic Party to the policy of the Protective Tariff. Just as the Democrats have endeavored to make their wet and dry campaign a double-barreled affair, with Smith to knock down the wet vote and Robinson to bag the dries, so did the Houston Convention attempt to camouflage the truth as regards the tariff. In the same manner, the Democrats have spread fly-paper for voters in the form of the tariff planks in the Houston platform, and in the utterances of some of their leaders in interpretation thereof. Stripped of all ambiguity, however, the tariff planks reveal the same old "competitive tariff" skeleton which has marked every Democratic platform for the last forty years. Skelton is an accurate word, for on the few occasions that they have been permitted to apply the competitive tariff idea suffering and disaster have followed.

Pledges Support to Hoover County Convention Unanimously Endorses Republican Candidate Passage of a resolution pledging united support of Herbert Hoover marked the closing session Friday afternoon of the Orange County convention of the Women's Christian Temperance Union, held at the Presbyterian church, Placentia. The resolution said in part: "Owing to the present crisis in our national life, in view of the coming presidential election, we will work and pray for Herbert Hoover's election, feeling as we do, that of the two major candidates he stands for all of the principles so dear to us." Other resolutions passed expressed appreciation of the Orange County Fair management's action in not holding open that exposition on Sunday, of the many years of services given to W. C. T. U. work in Orange county by Mrs. Mabel Frost, formerly of Orange, but more recently of Sacramento; and of the Placentia W. C. T. U. for its hospitality in entertaining the delegates. Mrs. Eva C. Wheeler, state president, in an address, said: "The United States is facing a crisis and the challenge is, 'shall a wet man on a dry plank be elected, or a dry man on a dry plank, to enforce prohibition?' "It would have been as reasonable for Briton to take Washington's place, or a slaveholder to take Lincoln's, as it is to expect a wet to enforce prohibition." "The W. C. T. U. is supporting Hoover not because he is a Republican, but because he is a dry." Re-election of officers of the county organization was a feature of the fore-noon session. The following were returned to office: Mrs. Estelle Harper, president; Mrs. Cora Hale, vice-president; Mrs. Cora Hale, vice-president; Mrs. Sarah Brown, corresponding secretary; Mrs. Elizabeth Warren, recording secretary; and Mrs. Alma J. Kelman. In this striking fashion has Maine, political barometer of the nation, approved Herbert Hoover and Charles Curtis. True, the names of the nominees did not appear on the ballots, but the entire campaign was waged on national issues. Republican candidates for state offices based their appeals for election on the achievements of the Coolidge Administration and the merits of the Hoover-Curtis ticket. The result is a remarkable vindication of their campaign. Political thought in Maine undoubtedly reflects political thought in other states. It cannot be doubted that the overwhelming majority in the Pine Tree State will exert a potent psychological effect in other parts of the nation. Most of all it is important because, as Chairman Work of the Republican National Committee stated, "it points invovably to a similar national result in November." Acted As Mother To 16 Children Arriving in Anaheim recently to make her home, Mrs. S. A. McClain, who motorized to Orange county from Elgin, Okla., spent her 80th birthday with her daughter, Mrs. Charles Haber, 1115 West Broadway, Anaheim, one of 16 children she has brought up. Few women who had 10 children bestowed on the mby providence would consider taking six more children, two of them very tiny, to raise to maturity. When the problem of adding four more children to her 10 presented itself to Mrs. McClain, in her home in Kansas, many years ago, she did not hesitate, but took four step-children into her fold. Later one of the step-sons, who had grown to manhood, died and left two babies, which immediately were adopted by Mrs. McClain. All of the children but the one stepson now are living and all of them grew to maturity under her kindly care. The care of the remarkable family has been a task of love for which she has been amply repaird, Mrs. McClain declares. Mrs. McClain is one of the pioneer mothers of America and settled in Kansas in the early days of that state, later removing to Oklahoma when it was a frontier territory. Now in the sunset Britton to take Washington's place, or a slaveholder to take Lincoln's, as it is to expect a wet to enforce prohibition. "The W. C. T.

Kellogg, treasurer. Department directors submitted reports. Start New Movement For Traffic Control The move to eliminate the present "double-headed" system of traffic control in California and substitute therefor, a unified state force under the control of the Division of Motor Vehicles will have the complete support of the organized labor groups of the state. This was indicated here today in the adoption of a resolution approving the proposal by the unanimous vote of delegates to the California State Federation of Labor. The federation represents more than 100,000 organized craftsmen. The endorsement of the federation is considered by state officers to be one of the most important thus far secured for proposed legislation. In adopting the resolution the federation made but one stipulation and that was to the effect that the officers should never be used for any purpose except for the enforcement of traffic regulations. This principle is already embodied in the California Motor Vehicle Act. The resolution was introduced by William J. McQuillan, delegate from the printing pressmen's union of Sacramento, and recite that uniform enforcement is a vital need of California and can only be accomplished through centralized control of traffic officers. The legislation the resolution endorses would eliminate the present system under which traffic officers are recommended by boards of supervisors but appointed and supervised by the state. The primary weakness of this system is that dual authority is involved and the traffic officers are forced to attempt to work under two different political entities at the same time. Resolutions endorsing this legislation had heretofore been adopted by the California League of Municipalities, California Supervisors' association, California Development association, Commonwealth club and various other important public bodies. "AS MAINE GOES" Four years ago Maine gave the Republican ticket a majority of 36,000. Two years ago the majority was 20,-000. This year, in the recent election, the voters endorsed Republican principles but took four step-children into her fold. Later one of the step-sons who had grown to manhood, died and left two babies, which immediately were adopted by Mrs. McClain. All of the children but the one step-son now are living and all of them grew to maturity under her kindly care. The care of the remarkable family has been a task of love for which she has been amply repair, Mrs. McClain declares. Mrs. McClain is one of the pioneer mothers of America and settled in Kansas in the early days of that state, later removing to Oklahoma when it was a frontier territory. Now in the sunset of life she has come still farther West to enjoy a happy old age in California. Almost every big Pacific Coast University will have veteran football teams this year, which is a joyful prospect for the fans desiring plenty of competition between the major teams. University of California at Berkeley has the lead in number of returning letter men with 20, while Stanford has 18 and Oregon State 17. University of Southern California trails this trio in returning veterans with only 12, seven of the Trojan letter men of 1927 having been lost by graduation. It is said by the fashion experts that the 1929 bathing beauties will go out on the beach clad in "sunshine bathing suits." We don't know what that is but anyhow it can't be much worse.
