A Class Race By Albert T R High Compression For Car Motors 4-H Clubs Visit L. A. County Fair By ERIC E. EASTMAN, Assistant Farm Advisor Clifford, Earl and Paul Freeman, Noble Freeman, necker, Leonard Scott, W. and Stanton Williams of Eric E. Eastman, Boyd, shel Whitney of Santa High Compression For Car Motors Ethyl Gas the Popular Fuel for New Model Cars The new 1929 motor car models have been announced. At least 75 per cent of the American-made cars were introduced, for the new year, at the National Automobile Show at New York. And all these were brought out with vital improvements — higher speed motors, better bodies, new lines, etc. Whatever the change, it will be noted by the motorist who follows fashion's latest dictates in automotive transportation vogues, there was one vital feature which every manufacturer announced. This was: Higher compression motors. In other words, motor car manufacturers are turning more and more to high compression engines for solving their speed and power problems, and consequently, Ethyl gasoline are more and more in demand in that they specifically are made for use in high compression engines. "Fill 'er up with Ethyl." is heard these days every time the owner of a new model car drives up to a service station, for Ethyl is considered essential in the new race-type motors. And drivers of even lower compression motorized cars are using it to eliminate carbon knocks, pinging, and other motorills. Many motorists forced for years to drive with a retarded spark, are now driving with an advanced spark—thanks to Ethyl—and finding that their old buses soar up hills in knockless fashion. One of the most interesting features in this connection was the statement just made by nationally-known automotive engineer. He said, concerning knocks: "It is the fuel, not the engine or ignition, that knocks." Thus Ethyl, it is agreed by everyone from auto engineers to mere car owners who object to noisy motors, is knocking out the knocks. And the fact that three leading Pacific Coast oil companies have adopted Ethyl may be taken to mean that some of these days, in so far as auto fuel is concerned, it will be Ethyl and "nothing else but." Discuss Fertilization at Short Course By HAROLD E. WAHLBERG, Farm Advisor Just now the question of what fertilizers to apply to the citrus orchard on the minds of Orange coun- 4-H Clubs Visit L. A. County Fair By ERIC E. EASTMAN, Assistant Farm Advisor The first Orange county 4-H Club tour of the year was made to the Los Angeles County Farm near Downey, last Saturday, where the agricultural enterprises of that institution were studied. Mr. Frank Ernst, assistant farm advisor of Los Angeles county, met the delegation of fifty-three members and leaders from Orange county and assisted the farm superintendent and managers in explaining the dairy, poultry and vegetable work being carried on for the support of the inmates of the various public institutions of Los Angeles county. Some of the better land is made to produce three successive crops of vegetables during the year. Methods of planting, implements, field culture, and leading varieties of vegetables were especially observed and discussed, as the vegetable contests in the various clubs are now getting started and the information obtained will prove of much assistance during the coming year. By way of diversion, the afternoon was spent in the big museum in Exposition Park. Los Angeles, where the sciences, arts and industries are well represented by excellent exhibits of permanent character, which elated the 4-H Club members to a degree that would seem improbable to one who has not worked with boys and thus obtained an insight into their capacity for appreciation. The following leaders and members attended the tour: Lester Schofield, Jack Lemke, Dudley Lemke, Donald Smith and Kenneth Story of Buena Park; Woodrow Hall, Allan Johnson, Byron Long, Don Schnitzer, Roy Waer, and Edward Christensen of Garden Grove; Roy Luther of Katella; Geo.

Discuss Fertilization at Short Course By HAROLD E. WAHLBERG, Farm Advisor Just now the question of what fertilizers to apply to the citrus orchard is occupying the minds of Orange county citrus growers. There is much confusion in the minds of many growers about the selection of proper fertilizer materials. This state of mind is often the result of so many diversified opinions offered by persons of limited knowledge of tree and crop requirements and soil reactions, as well as the intensified sales campaigns for all sorts of chemical combinations. Because of the prosperous condition of the citrus territory, sales forces have concentrated their activities on the citrus grower. He is a much sought after prospect for a thousand and one different materials. No wonder the confusion when every agent has the best material on the market for producing and sizing the fruit. A plain statement of facts concerning soil reactions, and tree requirements, based on years of scientific investigations in Southern California soils and archards, will be presented to local citrus men at the Citrus Short Course, to be held at the Anaheim high school auditorium four days, beginning February 12. A complete program of cultural and economic subjects will be given by authoritative speakers. They will include irrigation, fertilization, pest control, cultivation, windbreaks and covercrops. All growers are invited to attend. The Citrus Growere Department of the Farm Bureau has made it possible to offer this short course at no expense to those attending.

Thirteen nurses who have received their training in the Orange County hospital were presented with diplomas by Dr. Harry Zalser, superintendent of the hospital, in the Woman's clubhouse. Monday night, presentation of the class plas was made by Miss Grace Elizabeth Lansing, superintendent of nurses. The members of the graduating class presented an attractive appearance in their white uniforms and caps made after a special design chosen by themselves. The program opened at 7:30 with a march played by Mrs. Julia Salisbury of Anaheim. The invocation was pronounced by the Rev. H. E. Hinkley, pastor of the Baptist church in Garden Grove. One of the addresses of the evening also was given by the Rev. Mr. Hinkley. Dr. H. A. Johnston of Anaheim was one of the principal speakers of the evening. Mrs. Walter Kolger of Orange cage a gold. The presentation of diplomas was made after members of the class had taken the Nightingale pledge. The class chose as its motto "Out of the Harbor Into Deep Waters." Yellow and white were selected as class colors and the daffodil as the class flower. The clubhouse was filled with relatives and interested friends of members of the class. A reception followed the exercises and dancing was enjoyed until midnight.

Located farthest east on the Shorb Tract, near Horseshoe Bend, we have a pit sunk to bedrock. We have one pump, and pump from 200 to 500 inches with a lift of 25 to 90 feet. We have one booster pump which lifts this water to the Cajon Canal 60 feet higher, and serves the entire district. On the Halladay Tract we have seven wells, five of them fully equipped, with a capacity of from 400 to 700 inches. This water is pumped from a depth of from 40 to 75 feet and lifted into our reservoir on the Yorba Tract about 40 feet higher. One booster pump lifts the additional 50 feet to the Cajon Canal, and serves the entire district. Our next plant is on the Gomber Tract, southwest of Atwood, where we have five wells, three of them fully equipped, with a capacity of 825 inches. The wells are 350 feet deep, and the maximum lift is 152 feet. This water serves the Anaheim district only, and the pumps are run so as to deliver water to the stockholders during the daylight hours. Our fourth location is at the southwest corner of Placentia and Orangethorpe Avenues, where we have four wells, fully equipped with a capacity of 925 inches, and a maximum lift during 1928 of 136 feet. This location has a reservoir and a booster pump with a capacity of 450 inches which lifts this stream 80 feet higher, and serves Orangethorne Ditch, Fullerton South Branch, and all of the land west of Placentia and South of Pioneer Avenue. Our water levels are more than 50 feet lower than they were 15 years ago, and since we pump about two-thirds of our summer water, which is the season when we must have it at almost any cost, we would urge patrons to co-operate in every possible way to conserve the supply, and encourage the Board in their efforts to safeguard our rights. We have attached a statement showing Receipts and Expenditures of the Santa Ana River Development Company. This is a holding company for ourselves and the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation Company, which holds title to about 3,000 acres of land lying on both sides of the Santa Ana River in San Bernardino, Riverside and Orange Counties. This land was purchased to secure and protect our rinarian rights to the flow of the river. This Santa Ana River Development Company is a member of the Water Conservation Association which spreads water in the Santa Ana River Watershed. It also handles all litigation affecting water rights above Orange County, and which affect the water supply of this valley. The engineer of the Santa Ana River Development Company makes a careful record of water measurements in wells, and the flow of the river, and we have found this data very valuable in our efforts to protect our water supply, and the water supply of this whole valley. The management of this company is vested in directors from the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation Co. and the Anaheim Union Water Company, and the office is maintained in the office of the Anaheim Union Water Company. The lands were originally paid for by the two companies, and the Anaheim Union Water Company has set up on its books fourteen shares of stock in the Santa Ana River Development Company with a value of $1,400.00, and notes receivable secured by mortgage, of $82,250.00, which represents our one-half interest in the Santa Ana River Development Company. You will note that the work undertaken by the Santa Ana River Development Company for the benefit of the two water companies costs more than the receipts, and the balance is made up by equal payments by the two water companies. Every year you will find this amount paid by our company in our expense accounts. The undersigned members of the Board of Audit have carefully examined all books, papers and other records appertaining to the business of the company for the year ending December 31, 1928, and find that the same have been kept in a correct, neat, clear and intelligent manner, and that the foregoing is a full The management of this company is vested in directors from the Santa Ana Valley Irrigation Co. and the Anaheim Union Water Company, and the office is maintained in the office of the Anaheim Union Water Company.

In order to give a comprehensive view of results obtained, a comparison of a few of the main items of expense with the same items in the 1927 report, which was one of the lowest cost years we had, will serve as a general index to the entire year's business: Pumping Sand at Headgate and No. I.....$1,960.00 Clean Tuffree Reservoir .....6,477.19 Cleaning General .....6,194.77 $1,084.08 Electric Power .....24,297.84 $26,746.66 Pumping .....4,011.03 $4,394.51 Pumping Plant Repairs .....2,027.51 $1,161.15 Repairs .....10,896.19 $15,284.87 One item of special interest is the fact that while our pumping expense was about $3,000.00 less than 1927, our total water sales were $101,944.55, the largest sales we have ever had by $2,ooo.oo. It will be seen from the report that while we delivered $12,ooo.oo more water in 1928 than 1927, yet our electric bill was $2,ooo.oo less, and our labor in pumping $385.oo less, which is accounted for by the fact that more river water was used in the spring and fall of 1928 than 1927. Our cleaning bill was about $3,ooo.oo greater in 1928, owing to the fact that the dredge in the Tuffree Reservoir was operated for a good deal longer time, $73,\text{l}i\text{z}i\text{e}\text{n} \text{a} \text{t} \text{o} \text{n} \text{a} \text{t} \text{o} \text{n} \text{a} \text{t} \text{o} \text{n} \text{a} \text{t} \text{o} \text{n} \text{a} \text{t} \text{o} \text{n} \text{a} \text{t} \text{o} \text{n} \text{a} \text{t} \text{o} \text{n} \text{a} \text{t} \text{o} \text{n} \text{a} \text{t} \text{o} \text{n}$ One item of special interest is the fact that while our pumping expense was about $3,000.00 less than 1927, our total water sales were $101,944.55, the largest sales we have ever had by $2,000.00. It will be seen from the report that while we delivered $12,000.00 more water in 1928 than 1927, yet our electric bill was $2,500.00 less, and our labor in pumping $385.00 less, which is accounted for by the fact that more river water was used in the spring and fall of 1928 than 1927. Our cleaning bill was about $3,200.00 greater in 1928, owing to the fact that the dredge in the Tuffree Reservoir was operated for a good deal longer time, and we operated an extra sand pump at pumping plant No. 1 for protection purposes. While we have had thirteen pumping plants and three Booster plants in operation the entire summer, none of our equipment gave us any serious trouble during the season of operation. Practically all of the $2,027.51 charged to pumping plant repairs was spent on the plants after the close of the season putting them in condition for the 1929 season. In order to avoid having an extra large repair bill come due in any one year we have adopted the policy of overhauling three or four plants each year. We feel that by so doing we will spread the repair costs evenly each year, and have all our plants in good repair and ready for operation at all times. General repairs for 1928 were about $8,800.00 less than 1927, due to the fact that we had no serious floods this year, and $3,300.00 charged to repairs was a replacement of an old flood gate at the head gate. During 1928 practically $31,000.00 was spent on new work, the most important items of which were as follows: 430 feet of open cement ditch of Kraemer Avenue north of Madison replaced with a 14-inch pipe line at a cost of $300.64, one-half of which was paid by the property owners. 660 feet of open cement ditch on East line of Dr. Lang's ranch on North Placentia Avenue was replaced by 18-inch pipe line at a cost of $791.74, one-half of which was paid by property owners. About 340 feet of open cement ditch on North line of Lewis Lehke ranch on Placentia Avenue replaced with 18-inch pipe line at a cost of $340.72, one-half of which was paid by property owners. 6,720 feet of main canal lined with concrete at a total cost of $24,512.29, or $3.65 per foot. There still remains unlined about 4,000 feet of main canal, which we expected to work on this winter, but the lack of rain made it impossible to get at it. $2,000 was spent hauling gravel preparatory to cementing. We have about 6,000 feet of 36-inch main lines to put in before spring and we do not expect to do any further work on the main canal until the latter part of 1929, when we hope to complete the job. 550 feet of open cement ditch on Water Street, Anaheim, between Palm and Janss Street, replaced with 16-inch pipe line at a cost of $841.22, one-half of which was paid by City of Anaheim.
