Rural Sections Are Solid For No. 1 Must Roll Up Heavy Majority on November 6 "Obeying orders, carrying out the voters' expressed mandate!" That is the way that Assemblyman Isaac Jones of Ontario, in a statement to Ralph H. Taylor, secretary of the Agricultural Legislative Committee, today characterized the Legislature's action in passing the federal reapportionment act now before the people on the referendum as Proposition No. 1, heading the November ballot. In voting 'Yes' on this measure the voters will simply be ratifying their previous wishes." Jones claimed, "which were expressed when they adopted the reapportionment constitutional amendment providing that no county shall have more than one senator and that the Assembly be elected on a strictly population basis. This amendment was approved in November, 1926." he pointed out, "by a majority in every county in the state but one." Emphasizing the fairness of the federal scheme of reapportionment for the state of California, the Ontario assemblyman called attention to its success in the government of the United States, where each state is limited to two senators apiece and the House of Representatives is organized on a strictly population basis. "The checks and balances provided in the federal constitution are splendidly adapted to our form of government," said the San Bernardino county assemblyman. "This plan written into California's constitution assures every section of the state fair representation just as each section of the country has had it in the national government. Under this scheme the personal interest of each citizen and the property interest of each property-owner are likewise safe-guarded." This industrial representation was in the minds of the founders of our nation when they wrote the federal constitution, in the opinion 500 Avocado Growers Visit Orange County The largest delegation of avocado growers ever assembled in Orange county for a field tour gathered at the Orange County Park last Saturday for a discussion of their marketing and cultural problems. The morning session was under the auspices of the California Avocado Growers' association. The field tour in the afternoon was directed by the Agricultural Extension Service with Farm Advisor H. I. Wahlberg in charge. The marketing and advertising plans for this year's big crop of avocados were outlined by George Hodgkin, manager of the Calavo Growers of California, and Leigh Crosby, advertising manager of the same organization. Hodgkin stated that this year's crop would reach over 4,000,000 pounds as compared with less than a millelion pounds the past season. Crosby said that efficient calling of foods today is not only a matter of distribution but also a matter of convincing the consumer that the avocado is as good, if not better, than some other commodity. It is a competitive game of substitution. "The capacity to eat is limited," said Crosby, "and it is up to the avocado industry to show the consumer that there should be a place for the avocado, possibly in preference to some of the many other fruits that are offered on the daily market." The group voted resolutions of appreciation to the farm advisor for the interest taken in the cultural problems of the industry and the establishment of test plots; to the Horticultural Commissioner for his work in standardization; and to the board of supervisors for the effective patrol they have maintained during the past season to stop thieving in the citrus and walnut groves and petitioning them to continue the patrol during the avocado season. Dr. J. Ello Coit was the happy recipient of a beautiful watch, presented by the California Avocado Growers' association in appreciation of his uniting efforts in behalf of the industry. 150 automobiles, loaded with growers, wended their way after lunch through Save the Vote Highway pea "California cents per cow to save its delightful marks and for the enjoyments to concur Crowley, give rise Highway commerces 4 on the No." "The mean A.

"Senator last session for the sul bond, issue approval on sale survey gested, will most desirably long purpose every dollar." "The checks and balances provided in the federal constitution are splendidly adapted to our form of government," said the San Bernardino county assemblyman. "This plan written into California's constitution assures every section of the state fair representation just as each section of the country has had it in the national government. Under this scheme the personal interest of each citizen and the property interest of each property-owner are likewise safe-guarded." This industrial representation was in the minds of the founders of our nation when they wrote the federal constitution, in the opinion of the Ontario assemblyman. Future political disaster is predicted by Jones, himself a veteran assemblyman, if because of the drift of population to certain centers, three big counties of the state absolutely control the Legislature of California. "This would not be so objectionable," he said, "if industrial activities in the three counties were the same in class and character as the industrial activities in the other fifty-five counties of the state. Such, however, is not the case, and the industrial and territorial commercial activities are much more diverse and wide spread at this time in California than they were in the entire United States at the time the Federal Constitution was adopted. "Under the plan of representation ordered by the people of the state two years ago, and to go into effect under Proposition No. 1 on this year's ballot," the Ontario Assemblyman continued. "The territorial control of the Legislature is divided. The densely populated sections of the state control the Assembly, while the rural districts are safe-guarded by a control in the Senate." This balance will lead to better considered and more logical legislation. Jones believes, because it will require both city and rural groups to agree before a measure is enacted into law. Denying the runners circulated by the opponents of federal reapportionment that the people did not "know what they were doing when they voted for it two years ago." Jones insisted that no mistake was possible when 57 of the 58 counties gave it a majority. Illustrating the tremendous financial stake the agricultural counties have involved, Assemblyman Jones said that rural commercial activities to the amount of $1,202,000,000 per year would be subject to the legislative control of three counties in the state under the old system of reapportionment previous to the adoption of the federal reapportionment amendment. S. S. CONVENTION Orange county will have the honor of welcoming the Southern California Council of Religious Education in Sunday schools in its Thirty-ninth Annual Convention, which is to convene in Santa Ana on October 31, to continue for three days. This convention will bring together a company of about one thousand delegates, all interested in the work of religious education, and representing the industry and the establishment of test plots; to the Horticultural Commission for his work in standardization; and to the board of supervisors for the effective patrol they have maintained during the past season to stop thieving in the citrus and walnut groves and petitioning them to continue the patrol during the avocado season. Dr. J. Ello Colt was the happy recipient of a beautiful watch, presented by the California Avocado Growers' association in appreciation of his uniring efforts in behalf of the industry. 150 automobiles, loaded with growers, wended their way after lunch through the Marcy Ranch, over Lemon Heights and through the Irvine and San Joaquin Fruit ranches where they were shown typical avocado plantings in the foothills as well as the valley plantings. The first stop was made at the 15-year-old Taft planting on the San Joaquin Fruit ranch, where the growers could see the need for wider planting of avocado trees. Here the trees were set 20 feet apart and were now overlapping at 15 years of age. Mr. C. V. Newman, manager, explained that for the past two years cultivation had been discontinued, in order to avoid injury to the roots. Permanent basins had been made around the trees, which were heavily mulched with the leaves from the trees. He said it takes about 35-acres of water to meet the requirements of these large trees. At the second stop in the younger plantations of Pueblo and Furtes, Farm Advisor Wahilberg discussed the use of windbreaks. The blue gum eucalyptus has proven the best variety for Orange county conditions because of (1) its rapid growth, (2) freedom from pests and disease, and (3) case of propagation. He emphasized the need for better windbreak management, which included (1) adequate irrigation, (2) fertilization, and (3) periodical root cutting. The visitors were shown a fine system of windbreaks on this ranch, being one of the finest systems in Southern California. The third and last stop was devoted to a study of the variety plots established by the ranch to determine the habits, growth, production and quality of many of the most promising varieties. Hundreds of seedlings and budded trees make up the experimental orchard. Mr. Newman introduced his staff of propagators who have charge of the work. The farm advisor explained the nature of the fertilizer and disbudding experiments under way during the past year. The work has not proceeded far enough along to afford any conclusions. He said that the ultimate purpose of these tests is to provide a more uniform setting of fruit from year to year, which in turn would materially equalize or steady the available output of the industry.

S. CONVENTION Orange county will have the honor of welcoming the Southern California Council of Religious Education in Sunday schools in its Thirty-ninth Annual Convention, which is to convene in Santa Ana on October 31, to continue for three days. This convention will bring together a company of about one thousand delegates, all interested in the work of religious education, and representing the Sunday schools of all Southern California, in a three-day program of great variety and interest. The convention sessions will be held in the First Methodist Church of Santa Ana, located at Sixth and Spugeon streets, while Division Conferences will be conducted in a number of neighboring church auditoriums. The plan of the program is similar to that followed in the great World's Sunday School Convention held last spring in Los Angeles. What is known as the seminar type of meeting is to be followed. Six groups, each of which is limited to one hundred and fifty members, will be organized under the best leadership, to study and report their findings on major items of interest in present day religious education. The groups are: Adult, Children's, Church School Administration, Field Organization and Leadership Training, Week-Day Religious Education, and Young People's Work. In addition to the seminar meetings, there will be three general sessions each day, combining inspiration and instruction on practical topics. Many of the best known educators and religious leaders of the state are listed for addresses. President Arthur Braden, of California Christian College; Dr. J. H. Ballard of Occidental; Dr. John Snape, of Temple Baptist church; Dr. Frederic Woellner, of the U. C. L. A., and other well-known leaders are to be heard in stirring addresses. All people who are interested in Sunday school work are invited to attend the sessions and gain the inspiration from them. The General Secretary, Dr. W. C. Pearce, of Los Angeles, states that the program is one of the best Save the Redwoods, Vote Park Bonds Highway Association Makes Appeal to the Voters "California can afford to pay four cents per capita for the next 30 years to save its world-renowned redwoods, its delightful beaches, historic landmarks and natural recreational areas for the enjoyment of countless generations to come," declares Ernest A. Crowley, general manager of the Pacific Highway association in the following commendation of Amendment No. 4 on the November ballot: "The measure, sponsored by Senator A. H. Breed, father of the Gas Tax plan of financing our state highways, submits a $6,000,000 bond issue to provide for the acquisition of essential parksites. During the next 30 years, the average population of California has been estimated at 8,000,000. Principal bond issue will cost an average of but and interest on this proposed 30-year bond issue will cost an average of but $324,000 per annum. Four cents a year per citizen is based on the foregoing general average of population, and the corporations and public utilities will take care of this tax." Crowley analyzes. "California is far behind other states in its park possessions," he points out. "It ranks 25th in the number of parks, and 10th in acreage, among our 48 states. New York has 89 state parks, covering 2,147,000 acres, and has issued $27,500,000 in bonds for park purposes. Our Golden State has but 7 parks and 11 monuments, with a total of 13,814 acres." Senator Breed's bills, passed by the last session of the legislature, provide for the submission of this $6,000,000 bond, issue to the voters. With their approval on November 6, a comprehensive survey of some 300 park sites suggested, will determine which are the most desirable for statewide and state-long purposes. It is stipulated that every dollar appropriated by the state National Apple Week Begins October 31 Some millions of bushels of apples are due to impart their health-giving qualities to the population of the United States during the week of October 31 to November 6. That has been officially designated as National Apple Week and California is planning to actively participate in the observance. Grocers and mercantile exchanges are co-operating to bring the apple to the attention of every citizen during the next two weeks and to popularize the many forms in which the apple may be eaten and to educate the public to the healthful qualities of the popular fruit. The old time adage of "eat an apple a day and keep the doctor away" will be supplemented this year by the slogan of "Pass the Apple Around, Pass Them Around Again." Practical assistance to the International Apple Shippers' association, the organization of growers in the nation, is being given by the Union Pacific System through its thousands of employees and agents and its dining car and hotel department. The 50,000 employees have each been individually notified of the event, the various ticket agencies will have window displays and each of the 125 dining cars operating over the 10,000 miles of the system will service delectable apple dishes during the special week. Apple production in the United States has each year shown greater expansion until now it represents one of the most important of American fruit crops. In this development California has been taking a leading part in co-operation with thousands of growers centering along the Pacific Coast States. The time fixed for the observance of apple week coincides in general with the time for harvesting the apple and the peak movement of the fruit from the orchard to the consumer.

In coming years, when we have the scenic and recreational attractions of a chain of superb public parks to offer tourists as additional inducements to see the entire state, we can count upon the resultant increase in tourists from travelers as being sufficient to pay the entire cost of these parks in one year. Their value as public investments will be cumulative. Just as our national parks have proven their magnetic power in pulling tourists to see our Sierra ran wonderlands. "It is economy in the broadest sense to acquire these park areas now while their prices are low in comparison to what they will be a few years hence. With 300 sites bidding for public favor, there is real competition now. The state can snap up bargains next year when the bond money will be available. To delay, even one biennium, would encourage prohibitive prices, while the best of the beaches and most desirable campgrounds would then be subdivided. The dream of the redwoods would be skimmed by the lumbermen, now ready to make their inroads." This issue is of vital importance to the Pacific Highway association," says its manager. "Most of the present state parks and monuments are reached directly by the Pacific Highway. The California State Redwood Park in Santa Cruz county, Mt. Riablo, in Contra Costa county, Bidwell State Park in Butte county, and Burney Falls State Park, in Shasta county, with historic monuments in Monterey and Southern California are proving through their attractions to travelers the value of parks in drawing tourists."
