Katella Acreage Leased for Oil Texas Company Secures Lease on 1400 Acres Oil development is projected in two new Orange county fields, leases having been taken recently in the Katella district and the district lying between LaVista and Collins avenues, north of Orange. Following an investigation covering a period of years, the Texas Oil company has taken a 2800-acre lease, which extends both east and west of the highway, in the Katella district, between Santa Ana and Annheim. It is declared by ranchers in the district that the Texas company signed up a 1400-acre lease west of the Orange County hospital and southeast of Garden Grove and another 500-acre lease to the south. With the leasing of an additional 600 acres in the section east of the highway between Katella road and Cerritos avenue, it is expected that leasing in this section will be completed within a few days. By the terms of the leases drilling must be started within 90 days after October 1 and the first well put down on the first section west of the county hospital. The owners of the property leased are to be paid $3 an acre with three months' advance payment and are to be paid $100 for each tree six years old or older that is damaged. The leases are for a three-year period, with a well on each five-acre block and with off-set wells to be drilled at a distance of 300 feet. It is said that the Texas company is working on the theory that an oil basin, connecting the Richfield and the Huntington Beach pools, lies under the property. Will Mayer, who lives on East Cerritos avenue, is one of the property owners in the district who has not yet signed a lease with the oil company. Mayer is confident that a large pool of oil exists under his ranch property. He recently employed one of the best known geologists in the state for four days, paying him $100 a day to make tests of the sand which show a large potato grower have a Field Day Over one hundred potato growers of Southern California attended the Field Day at the McSweeny Brothers ranch near Temecula, Riverside county. A very large acreage of potatoes is planted with the tuber-index seed, and large plots have been treated with various fertilizers. One of the most outstanding findings in the fertilizer trials is that ammonium sulphate used alone furnishes nitrogen throughout the growing season, and in consequence the use of an organic carrier such as fishmeal has been discarded. Leguminous winter cover crops are used and plowed under for green manure prior to planting the potatoes. The ammonium sulphate has decreased the alkalinity of these soils to some extent, thereby decreasing the potato scab disease, but to a lesser extent than sulphur alone. The effect of surphur is not observed for at least two years, owing to the slow rate of combination with oxygen. Inoculated surphur produced the same results. In a count of four rows of potatoes by Dr. Michael Shapovalov of the United States Department of Agriculture, containing approximately 2000 plants selected by the learn.R.TD selected by the late Dr. Rosa by the tuberindex method, only five plants were found affected with the Mosaic disease, and these were affected to such a slight degree that they would not have been detected by the average grower or untrained observer. This minute percentage occurring from stock that formerly was affected to the extent of at least 30 per cent is an excellent demonstration of the effectiveness of the tuber-index method of eradicating the Mosaic disease which causes potatoes to run out. Representatives from Orange, Riverside, Los Angeles, San Bernardino, San Diego, Tulare and Kern counties were present to inspect these famous fields, in addition to specialists from University of California, University of Nevada, and the United States Department of Agriculture, and to hear from the McSweeny Brothers the results of their work under the direction of the California Extension Service. with off-set wells to be drilled at a distance of 300 feet. It is said that the Texas company is working on the theory that an oil basin, connecting the Richfield and the Huntington Beach pools, lies under the property. Will Mayer, who lives on East Cerritos avenue, is one of the property owners in the district who has not yet signed a lease with the oil company. Mayer is confident that a large pool of oil exists under his ranch property. He recently employed one of the best known geologists in the state for four days, paying him $100 a day to make tests of the sand, which show a large oil content. On being tested, sand from oil seepages on the Mayer property showed a content of 35 per cent high gravity oil. There are seven seepages on the place. Mayer said, Mayer is confident that with the opening of this district it will prove to be one of the largest producing fields in Southern California. Both Mayer and D. B. Gregory, who lives west of the Mayer place, believe that a large pool of oil exists in this district, basing their belief on the tests and on the vibration of the ground, which issues a hollow sound when a train or a heavily loaded truck passes, even at a distance. Mayer declares that the land fairly rocked when a well at Santa Fe Springs recently ignited. Among those reported to have signed leases are Charles A. Boege, Anaheim city treasurer, who has property on West Cerritos avenue; Dr. H. L. Newkirk, W. F. Buck, Charles Pearson, Ray L. Howell, C. Vance, Charles C. Wilson, John F. Walton, B. Ford and Mrs. A. Smith. Activity in the Orange field began about two months ago and suddenly was dropped when a number of leases were secured. It is reported that a number of new leases were secured in this district the first of the week and that drilling operations are scheduled to begin within 30 days. The company to begin operations in this district is said to be represented by men from Brea and Whittier. REAPPORTIONMENT The Federal plan of reapportioning the state will have a larger vote than it did two years ago when it triumphed by a majority of 74,000, according to an announcement by the State-wide committee in charge of the campaign. Headquarters for the committee have been opened in the Holbrook building, San Francisco, and an intensive drive to make the voters understand the importance of Proposition No. 1 on the ballot is now under way. David P. Barrows, former president of the University of California, a deep student and professor of civil government, is chairman of the committee. "Proposition No. 1, the referendum on the Boggs reapportionment bill is the most important measure on the ballot this year," Dr. Barrows declared. That the reapportionment issue has gripped the entire state as no issue has done in many years, is indicated with off-set wells to be drilled at a distance of 300 feet.

"Proposition No. 1, the referendum on the Boggs reapportionment bill is the most important measure on the ballot this year," Dr. Barrows declared. That the reapportionment issue has gripped the entire state as no issue has done in many years, is indicated by reports from the field workers. The split caused in the Republican state committee by the assault made by Kent Parrot of Los Angeles and former sheriff, Tom Finn, of San Francisco, on Charles L. Neumiller has become a big factor in the reapportionment fight. Parrot and Finn have presented to the whole state a sample of city-controlled political power, and they represent the same forces which brought about the referendum on the Boggs Bill. In fact it was Kent Parrot and Tom Finn who supplied the funds which paid for the circulation of the referendum petitions. The almost ruthless manner in which the Republican state organization was ripped to pieces in the midst of the campaign has awakened the entire state to the dangers that lurk in the reapportionment issue, and would befall California should the control of the state legislature fall into the hands of those controlling the political destinies of the two large cities, San Francisco and Los Angeles. Even the voters in these two cities have been awakened to this danger, and the net result of the state com­ mittee row will be an increased vote for Proposition No. 1 on November 6 right in these urban centers. Throughout the rural districts or­ganization work has been going on with a resolution that presages success of the Doggs bill. A German firm which went into Russia with a concession granted by the Reds five years ago has just come back home broke. Who's next? ANAHEIM GAZETTE Lamb Collecting The County Taxes Bills Mailed to All Taxpayers on Monday The largest drive for funds ever launched in Orange county started Monday when County Tax Collector J. C. Lamb began to gather the first payments on $5,910,803.24 in taxes which his office is charged with collecting. Taxes will become delinquent on December 3 and Lamb pointed out that property owners will have nearly seven weeks in which to make their payments. Orange county has the fourth lowest tax rate among the 58 counties of the state. It was revered. Inside cities the figure is $1.45 per $100 and outside cities it is $1.85 per $100 of assessed valuation. In addition to this position, the county had moved into top place among rural counties of the state in total assessed value of non-operative property, taxed by the county. The figure is $175,819,685. This valuation is surpassed only by that in the metropolitan counties of San Francisco, Alameda and Los Angeles. Approximately 30 per cent of the total charged to Lamb's office will be collected on the first tax installments, it is expected. The total which is scheduled to come into the county's coffers this year is $7,281,753.57. This includes personal property taxes collected by County Assessor James Sleeper and all other income derived in the county from every source. Lamb put 55,000 tax bills in the mails Monday. He explained to new owners of property that, if they do not receive bills within a few days, they may not have been mailed and that they should be called for at his office in the hall of records. Anyone who has bought property and whose deed was recorded after March 1 will not received a bill in the mail because the tax list is made up from data collected prior to that date, Lamb said. He pointed out Monday that while the county tax rate has dropped 10 cents, tax rates in local districts have remained the same as before in many cases or have risen. In Santa Ana there is a total drop in the rate amounting of five cents. The county rate went down 10 cents, the cemetery rate dropped one cent and the city rate is one cent lower. This gives a total drop of 12 cents but the school tax rate in the city was raised seven cents, giving a final drop of five cents. The rate this year is $5.35 per $100 as against $5.40 per $100 as assessed valuation last year. The land assessed this year, showed the following valuations: Real estate, $114,997.025. Improvements on real estate, $39,-291,610. Personal property, $21,458,920. Money and solvent credits, $72,130. Total county indebtedness, $992,000. Los Angeles county held the distinction of having the lowest tax rate for county purposes of any county in the state. Riley's report said. This was $1,163 on property inside of cities and $1,368 on property outside. The Los Angeles rate was largely due to its tremendous property valuation, according to the comptroller. The county's total wealth was in excess of three and a half billion dollars. Santa Zruz county stood at the top of the list for the highest individual county rate, of $3.40 inside of cities, and $4.05 outside. This county, it was pointed out, has a total property valuation of $27,977,033. Eight times a billionaire is California's present financial rating—the exact total of all property in the state, including real estate improvements, personal property, money and solvent credits, being $8,123,208,593. Publishers Will Hold Convention Definite selection of Sacramento for the scene of the annual convention of the California Newspaper Publishers Association next January was made by the executive committee of the association in session here this week. Other business which occupied the attention of the committee included the budget, expansion of the organization, local and national advertising rates, free publicity and the association's Publicity Control Bureau, advertising agency recognition and the legislative program. Twenty more newspapers were voted into active membership. Members of the executive committee who attended were: President Tobias Larsen, Claremont Courler; J. F. Craomer, Orange Daily News; O. M. Cannon, Santa Marla Times; Earle H. Clemens, Terra Bella News; A. V. Douglass, La Habra Star; Harvey R. Ling, Burbank Review; Paul Moore, Redlands Fucte; Harlan G. Palmer, Hollywood Citizen; Ben H.

EACH day more and more of the millions who count the cost of motoring recognize the obvious superiorities of the new Plymouth in full size, style and performance. But this is only to be expected in the Plymouth, as in every Chrysler-built car, because of the unique Chrysler principle of Standardized Quality in scientific engineering and precision manufacturing under which these cars are built. Such features as the "Silver-Dome" high-compression engine, using any gasoline, slender profile radiator, arched windows, "air-wing" fenders, body impulse neutralizer, internal expanding hydraulic squeakless, 4-wheel brakes—are convincing naked-eye evidence of Plymouth's greater dollar-for-dollar value in the lowest-priced field.
