What's Doing in Our Bug Factory Millions of Parasites Turned Loose During August During the month of August 2,896,480 Cryptolaemus were liberated from the Orange County Insectary. This is over one million more than the amount produced during the month of August, 1927. A large percentage of these liberations were made on groves which had been treated for scale during the previous month. Liberations are made immediately after fumigation where the infestation of mealybug requires additional predators. Due to the repellant effect of oil on the adult Cryptolaemus, however, liberations have been withheld for a few weeks subsequent to spraying in order that the Cryptolaemus will not abandon the grove in which they are placed. Those engaged in biological control work in Southern California are greatly encouraged by the apparent establishment of the new Coccophagus sp., which is a parasite on Citrophilus mealybug, and also of the new Diplosis sp., which is predaceous on the same mealybug. Both of these species have been recovered from the field in Los Angeles and Orange Counties by members of the horticultural commissioners' forces. This early recovery from the field within a few months of the actual arrival of the insects from Australia indicates that these beneficial insects will exist and multiply at least during the summer weather in this locality. The question of winter carry-over an dute possibility of attack by secondary parasites remains yet to be decided before it can be determined whether or not these insects will give the same control as in their native home of Australia. During the month of August the Orange County Insectary liberated over 1,000,000 of the Coccophagus sp., and over 2,000,000 of the Diplosis sp., with small numbers of the new lacewing, the new ladybird beetle, and another internal parasite known as Tetracnemus sp. These parasites and predators have been placed in nearly one hundred different graves in various parts of the county in order that the insects would be able to under various conditions. REGISTER With but two days remaining for registration for the November election, it is now certain that the eight Southern California counties will establish a record of Republican registered voters that will materially aid in sending a Californian to the White House, according to Mendel Silberberg, campaign director for the Southern Hoover forces. The total registration for all parties already has passed the 1,100,000 mark in the eight counties, with the large majority registered as Republicans. Of this number more than 831,000 registrations are recorded in Los Angeles county. The other heavy vote counties are San Diego, Orange and San Bernardino. There have also been substantial gains in Riverside, Ventura, Santa Barbara and Imperial counties. Straws that indicate the trend of winds applied to cross-section straw balloting in various sections of the southern counties give Hoover and Curtsis and the entire Republican ticket an overwhelming majority, according to Silberberg. It is expected that the Hoover majority south of Tehachapi will exceed $25,000 votes, sufficient. It is claimed, to offset any local situation in any section of the state. Owing to the non-political campaigns that have been waged in Los Angeles county by civile groups and service clubs for a complete registration and their intensive efforts to get out the vote on election day, it is expected that an unusually large vote will be polled, a situation that is claimed to favor Hoover and Curtsis. According to figures just compiled for Los Angeles county by Registrar William M. Kerr, the county has gained more than 150,000 registered voters during the last two years. Silberberg yesterday commending the non-partisan and non-political campaign said: "While it is one of the first obligations of good citizenship to register and vote at all elections, yet the election of November 6 is of especial importance to all Californians. We have the splendid opportunity of sending a Californian to Washington as the executive head of the nation, thereby greatly increasing the national and international prestige of our state." The entire country is watching our registration, particularly the registration here in the Southern counties where we live. During the month of August the Orange County Insectary liberated over 1,000,000 of the Coccophagus sp., and over 2,000,000 of the Diplosis sp., with small numbers of the new lacewing, the new ladybird beetle, and another internal parasite known as Tetracnemus sp. These parasites and predators have been placed in nearly one hundred different groves in various parts of the county in order that the insects would receive a fair trial under various climatic conditions and other circumstances which might affect their establishment or increase. Fight to Prevent Waste Water Pipe The battle over granting a franchise to the Santa Fe Springs Waste Water Disposal company for a pipe line through western Orange county to the ocean was resumed Tuesday before the board of supervisors when J. A. Armitage, of Sunset Beach; P. A. Stanton, of the same city, and former Judge G. H. Morrison, of Seal Beach, renewed their protests against the project. Armitage advocated the setting up of an iron-clad policy by the county to prevent the placing of refuse of any kind in the ocean off the Orange county coast. The city of Long Beach was added to the list of organizations opposed to the franchise and a letter was read to the supervisors stating that it would like to be heard before final action was taken on the matter. According to Armitage, that city does not allow the dumping of refuse into its ocean front, although there are many oil wells in that vicinity. It finds other means of disposing of the waste, he said. Morrison again asked the board to consider how Orange county would benefit from a waste water pipeline carrying water from Santa Fe Springs to the ocean. He repeated the query as to why that section should be allowed to dump its waste at Newport. The oil companies, he said, extract valuable material from the ground, but along with its other useless mater is found. "They are perfectly willing that any other community should have this refuse," said Morrison.

The citations which comprise the Lesson-Sermon will include the following Bible selection from James 3: "Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter? Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? either a vine fire? so can no fountain." Silberberg yesterday commending the non-partisan and non-political campaign, said: "While it is one of the first obligations of good citizenship to register and vote at all elections, yet the election of November 6 is of especial importance to all Californians. We have the splendid opportunity of sending a Californian to Washington as the executive head of the nation, thereby greatly increasing the national and international prestige of our state. "The entire country is watching our registration, particularly the registration here in the Southern counties where our phenomenal growth is correctly heralded by the registration figures. There still must be many thousands who are remaining indifferent toward exercising their right of franchise, and these individuals should gesister and vote if for no other reason than community pride." CARTOONIST BUYS BUICK It really is a "grand and glorious feeling" to own a new car, whether the first or fifteenth, according to Clare Briggs, famous cartoonist. George F. Howard, Northern Orange County Buick Dealer, said that Briggs was one of the first New Yorkers to purchase a Silver Anniversary Buick sport roadster and enjoys the gleaming luster and newness of the car, he states, as much a veritable youngster. "The cars are surely distinctive." commented Briggs on the new body style created by Buick. "Naturally, curving lines are always beautiful and the new Buick style seems to be based entirely on the curve. They are graceful and smart."

Tex Choat Ousted From Beach Position "Tex" Choat, assistant chief of police of Huntington Beach, was ousted from his position Monday night when the city council unanimously approved Chief Charles Stewart's action in asking for the resignation of Choat. Stewart today declined to discuss the subject. Choat declared that he had not resigned but that he "might quit November 1." Choat is at present on a 30-day leave of absence. "If I am ousted it's news to me," Choat declared this morning. "I was not at the meeting and did not know that any action along that line was to be taken." Asserted trouble in Coat's family was declared to be the reason for Chief Stewart's action. Choat served as chief of police in Huntington Beach before Stewart took office August 1. He has been with the Huntington Beach department for a number of years, coming from the Anaheim force, where he was assistant chief. Smith Favors Underwood Bill Place Many California Products on Low Tariff Scale—Means Red Ink to Growers Speaking on the tariff at Madison Square Garden, New York City, October 2, 1924, Governor Smith is quoted in the New York Times as follows: "The man or woman who would refuse to register and vote must be entirely satisfied with the Republican tariff and its daily extractions from the pockets of the poor to enrich the few men who had power and influence enough at Washington to write the tariff schedules as they desired." In speaking at Stapleton, Staten Island, on October 29, 1924, the same newspaper quotes him as saying: "By the enactment of Washington of the Fordney-McCumber Tariff Bill the Republican party delivered the goods to specially protected interests throughout the country. They have been particularly solicitous about a free and open delivery of the goods to the beet sugar growers. This delivery to the special and private interests is costing to the housewives of the United States $140,000 a day." In a speech at Boston, October 7, 1924, the same newspaper quotes him as follows: "The long list of delegates to the National Convention of 1924 representing the big western beet sugar industry probably furnishes the reason why President has not acted upon the recommendations of the Tariff Commission laid before him as far back as July 29 of this year." In an article prepared by A. K. Pinck for the Industrial Digest April, 1928, which article was submitted to and approved by Governor Smith, the latter is quoted as follows: "The tariff law looks like a surrender to group government, the handiwork of small coteries throughout the country that are using the power of taxation to enrich themselves and to find their way deeper into the American pocketbook, therefore reducing the purchasing power of American wages to the minimum. It is a cold-blooded holder of the American cotton seed. The American farmer had no tariff protection against any of these imported products. Also note the following differences in tariff on local products: FordneyUnderwood Bill Figs, dried... 1 c per lb. 2 c per lb. Lemons... ½ c per lb. 2 c per lb. Oranges... ½ c per lb. 1 c per lb. Grapefruit... ½ c per lb. 1 c per lb. What American farmer would be able to sell any of the foregoing crops at a profit if we had another Underwood Tariff bill? By his statements quoted, Governor Smith is shown to be opposed to the tariff in the Fordney-McCumber Bill upon the articles which the Underwood Bill put on the free list, and believes that another Underwood Bill would be a proper basis upon which to preserve business and avoid distress. These facts should be brought home to the producers in this state. FILERS ... (Tenive) Our idea of a nervous Republican is one who is worrying about Vermont and Pennsylvania. Henry Ford says that some of these days automobile tires may be made from roadside weeds, but it's our opinion they would never do for the hay-fever patients. A woman down East was lured away from home by a radio voice. Evidently she thought it was the call of the wild. Avocado Output Breaks All Records Will Be Three Times As Great As the Normal Yield This year's avocado crop in Orange county will surpass the yield of any previous year, and the growers are expecting good prices. The $100,000 returns which were laid at the feet of the avocado farmers in this county last year will be no longer the record income from this crop after the coming harvest is completed, according to Harold Wahlberg, farm advisor for Orange county, who stated that the money value of the crop on the trees this season will exceed anything that ever has been realized from avocados here. While no definite predictions as to prices have been made, it is expected that the per pound return will be satisfactory to the growers considering the huge expected output. Although there are many acres of young trees coming into bearing each year, the giant production that is looming a few months ahead is largely accounted for by a bountiful, record-breaking yield on the older trees, Wahlberg said. There are between 650 and 700 acres of avocado trees boaring in this section, while almost that many more are steadily growing toward the point where Low Priced-Fun "Western give Year in an footed "W countless m sands of tr of load, roa And these m ern Auto" ti the SERVIC stores . . th ANCE . . a GUARANTI policy . . ! 29 X 440 FULL BALLOON $625 · Wear-well Balloon· Extraordinary savings are offered in these full balloons with broad ribbed, non-skid treads.

No Output Ks All Records three Times As Great the Normal Yield avocado crop in Orange surpass the yield of any and the growers are exprices. 10 returns which were laid of the avocado farmers in last year will be no longer come from this crop after harvest is completed, accorded Wahlberg, farm addence county, who stated they value of the crop on season will exceed anyher has been realized from definite predictions as to been made. It is expected pound return will be satthe growers considering eject output. There are many acres of coming into bearing each production that is loommonths ahead is largely acby a bountiful, recordon the older trees, Wahlbetween 650 and 700 acres acres bearing in this secnost that many more are going toward the point where they will aid in making this industry one of Orange county's banner activities. Approximately 500 acres of young trees are not yet producing but will begin to yield year by year. During October and November the Fuente, the principal variety grown in this section, and the Mexican seedling, will ripen and will be harvested. The main harvest will come from December to March, according to Wahlberg. At the present time the avocado men are just between harvests. Final estimates on the return from last season's crop are not yet available. Wahlberg said, but because of the short crop, the growers received probably the best prices ever attained. Some growers received as high as 80 cents per pound for their fruit, while the average was in the neighborhood of 40 and 50 cents. Because of the small yield it is possible that the returns will not be found to be greater than the $100,000 1926 statement. AN IMPORTANT QUESTION There is no more important question before the American people today than that of immigration and no more constructive bit of legislation has been placed on our statute books in a long time than that embraced in our present immigration laws. It is now more important than ever before that these laws be enforced and that they be not weakened by subsequent legislation. For the first century or more of our existence the streams of immigration which flowed into America were bene- field. They came at a time when there was a great demand for labor in the United States, when more labor was necessary to develop the country than America itself could produce. These immigrants went into our cities and towns and out into the agricultural regions. They raised their families here and became a part and parcel of America, giving the best that was in them for the upbuilding of the country. But now economic conditions have changed. The country is filling up. Labor saving machinery makes a great influx of labor from abroad unnecessary—not only unnecessary, but dangerous from the economic standpoint.
