Supply Purchasers Do Big Business Fruit Growers' Supply Company Makes Statement "The Fruit Growers' Supply company was organized in 1907 as a cooperative purchasing organization, owned by its citrus fruit grower members to provide their orchard and backing supplies, and during its twenty-one years of service it has successfully met the aggression of trade combinations, developed new sources of supplies and rendered to its members a service that could not have been obtained in any other way," states E. G. Dezell, general manager, in the annual report for the year ending December 31, 1928, recently mailed to growers. As general manager for the California Fruit Growers' Exchange, Mr. Dezell is also in charge of the Sunlist supply organization. The volume of business transacted by the company with its members in 1928 is indicated by 47,465 invoices handled, compared with 45,156 during 1927. The value of business in 1928 was $8,775,780, compared with $8,657,876 for 1927. The operating purchases cost of the company for the season, not including interest or reserves, was $1.50 per $100.00 of business transacted for members, compared with a cost of $1.53 for 1927. In addition to the business transacted with members, lumber products sold to other than members amounted to $1,870,585, making a total business transacted of $10,646,365 for the year. The company has transacted a business of $131,550,366 during the last 21 years, according to the report. As a purely co-operative purchasing organization, controlled by the citrus fruit grower members of the California Fruit Growers' Exchange, the policies adopted for the conduct of the affair of the Supply Company have been and always will be a matter of the utmost importance to the exchange membership. To this end the affairs of the two organizations have been ad- THE TOWN DOCTOR (The Doctor of Towns) SAYS How Do Little Birds Know when "It Ain't Gonna Fly" One day last summer I sat out on the lake front watching the play of both young and old, when a storm came up. The wind blew out and the people now in and the rain came down in torrents. Lightning flicked wickedly over the water and the waves rolled shore with adrenment. It was very apparent where the people went. I did not note where hid the birds, but this I saw: the files we all so detest, and other such living things, took refuge under the visor of my windshield. They were not blown there, for the wind was in the opposite direction—they came there. Then the birds came out, and immediately it stopped raining. Who told the birds that the rain would cease—what guided the flies to an automobile? Hotel on Wheels Built for Shriners More Than 1,000 Guests Already Booked During Convention Plans have been completed by the Union Pacific system for the construction at Ninth and Alameda streets of what amounts to a modern hotel on wheels. Already more than one thousand guests have been baked to occupy the hotel during the week of the Shrine convention. Medinah Temple of Chicago has taken accommodations completely. Medinah Temple will move to Los Angeles in nine special trains for which at this time 112 Pullman cars have been booked solid and additional New Mover For Desert Settlers on 150 Sand Are Going After two decades ling.

They clung to the Lions Club. Irrigate for Sake of Walnut Quality At this season of the year one would like to be able to read the future. What the coming year will bring us is the question uppermost in our minds. The prospects for the coming walnut crop is a problem—will there be a big one and what will the size be? Quality of product grows more and more important in walnut production as the plantings increase. In eight years walnut production has increased 60 per cent. Price levels have not declined, largely because of the improvement in quality and the advertising made possible by the high standard of pack maintained. The maintenance of price levels will depend very largely on sustaining present quality. Size is the measure of quality, and it has been found that small sizes occur in greater numbers following winters of deficient rainfall. Moisture deficiency exists when the soil to the depth of the root zone is not thoroughly moist in the spring. This is a situation we now face. Rainfall in Los Angeles county is three inches below that of last year, and last year it was five inches below normal. The rain has penetrated less than half the distance it should reach in walnut groves in spring. Of course, this is not true in groves which have been irrigated since harvest. The heavy soils not so irrigated are now moist from two to three feet down medium soils from three to four. Convention Plans have been completed by the Union Pacific system for the construction at Ninth and Alameda streets of what amounts to a modern hotel on wheels. Already more than one thousand guests have been baked to occupy the hotel during the week of the Shrine convention. Medinah Temple of Chicago has taken the accommodations completely. Medinah Temple will move to Los Angeles in nine special trains for which at this time 112 Pullman cars have been booked solid and additional cars are expected to be added prior to departure of the trains from the east. Each train will have its complement of baggage cars, diners, observation cars and buffet club cars. Upon arrival all will be parked on special tracks at the present freight terminal of the Union Pacific. At the terminal of the Union Pacific will erect a mammoth barber shop which will be completely equipped to take care of the Chicago party. Manure parlors, information booths, shoe shining parlors, shower baths and similar equipment is also to be installed. A fleet of motor buses will be kept in uninterrupted operation during the convention between the Medinah hotel and the business section of the city. For the benefit of Los Angeles friends of the Shrimers in other parts of the country the Union Pacific has made public a list of bookings which have been made for the Shrine convention in order that plans may be completed by local reception committees. At this date the Union Pacific has made reservations for a total of twenty-six solid trains. Four additional trains, partially booked, will be completed within a week. Three hundred and sixteen Pullman sleepers will be needed for these trains. These figures, according to George R. Bierman, general passenger agent of the Union Pacific, do not take into account the accommodations which have been booked on the regular trains all of which will run in a multiple of sections, nor for a score or more of other trains now in negotiation with couples in various parts of the country. "It would appear," said Mr. Bierman, "from available figures that the 1922 Shrine convention will be the biggest event this organization ever had. Prospective attendance is running for excess of the preliminary estimates and rail officials are doing everything possible so that the tremendous movement may be handled. The very great majority of Shriners this year also are taking advantage of the opportunity that is offered by travel over the Union Pacific lines to visit the great national park system in southern Utah and to stop at Las Vegas to view the site for Boulder dam." Shrine temples incorporated in the reservations announced by the Union Pacific include Palestine of Providence R.

The heavy soils not so irrigated are now moist from two to three feet down; medium soils, from three to four feet deep, and light soils, as much as five to live and a half feet. This is insufficient to size up the nuts during their first six weeks of growth. Walnut growers who have not done so already are urged to put on irrigation water at once, for the first few days of April. Water should not be applied after growth starts, but enough should be applied immediately to force moisture down at least six feet in heavy soils and from eight to eight and a half feet in medium and light soils, and the only way to tell is by the use of a soil auger. U. S. C. Building Hall of Philosophy Ground was broken this week for the Hall of Philosophy of the University of Southern California, which is to be a memorial to the late Seeley W. Mudd, Los Angeles mining engineer and student and patron of philosophy. The new hall is to cost approximately $255,000, and it is said will be the only college classroom building in this country devoted exclusively to philosophy. R. Westcott and company of Alhambra have been awarded the contract for the building, which was designed by Ralph C. Flewelling, of Beverly Hills, son of Dr. Ralph Tyler Flewelling, chairman of the faculty of the university, department of philosophy. Construction of the building will be rushed so that it may be available early in the fall. Ceremonies marking the laying of the corner-stone of the new hall will be held during the third week in May, it is tentatively planned. The hall will be a striking example of the North Italian Romanesque type of architecture, and will consist of three wings which enclose a large rectangular court. At one corner of the court will rise a clock tower, 140 feet high. The building will house the offices of the members of the faculty in philosophy, a number of classrooms and lecture halls, several seminar rooms, and a large library with stack space for 100,000 volumes. Provision of the hall will allow the university to develop its courses in philosophy, and to extend its facilities for graduate work in philosophy.

Where is the man who thinks his powers of such import that he can match the gift that tells a little bird that "It ain't gonna rain no more?" Country man, go to the city; city man to the wide open spaces, and there learn your insignificance. As big as you think you are, the greater man you'll be when you recognize your littleness by comparison. Copyright, 1929, A. D. Stone. Reproduction prohibited in whole or in part.

New Movement For Desert Water Settlers on 150,000 Acres of Sand Are Getting Busy After two decades of watchful waiting, it is now possible that entrymen on desert lands in the Yolo Verde Mesa and Chucawalla Valley district of Riverside county may at last look ahead to finding their dreams come true, and 150,000 acres of desert blooming under the magic touch of water. Some of those who filed so hopefully in that long-gone time are dust and ashes now, and others have grown old. Their early day irrigation plan went to pot after quite a sum of money had been spent on it. But year after year they clung to the land, being granted the eggs, it is evident that vigorous and heavy laying birds must be produced, hence the utmost care and effort to secure good chicks. The culling of hens during the summer and the mortality in the older birds must be replaced during spring by vigorous young stock. This replacement of the flock is an important and seemingly difficult operation in average poultry management. The circular discusses all phases of the problem such as the location for brooding, various types of brooding equipment, and types of brooders. It answers such questions as how many chicks to brood to make the necessary replacement in a flock, proper methods for selecting chicks for brooding, when to feed the chicks and most important of all, how to feed them properly and at the same time economically. Considerable attention is given to this matter of proper feeding rations under various price conditions. Common difficulties such as toe pleking, feather pulling, crowding, parasites, round worms and tape worms are also answered. Dairymen Can Buy Graded Hay According to W. M. Cory, assistant county farm advisor, dairymen from noon will be able to buy hay by grade and they can be sure that the hay they pay for will be the kind that they have ordered, if they will specify Federal Graded hay. Federal hay inspection was made available at Los Angeles under date of February 1, 1929, under co-operative arrangements between the Federal Bureau of Agricultural Economics and the California State Department of Agriculture. Mr. Walter J. Morgan, Federal Hay Inspectors Supervisor for the Pacific Coast district, has been transferred from San Francisco to take charge of the hay inspection service at Los Angeles. A representative of the California State Department of Agriculture is associated with Mr. Morgan. The address of the joint Federal State office in Los Angeles is 700 Date Street. The hay shippers of the Im- NOTICE INVITING SEALED PROPOSALS FOR ELECTRIC TRANSFORMERS, LAMPS AND METERS. Notice is hereby given that sealed proposals will be received by the City Council of the City of Anaheim, at the office of the City Clerk of said City, up to the hour of eight o'clock p.m. of Thursday, the 11th day of April, 1929, for furnishing the following equipment and supplies to said City, under purchase agreements to run approximately one year: ITEM 1-ELECTRIC TRANSFORMERS Electric transformers of such sizes, at such times and in such quantities as said City may determine, the total amount of contract for this commodity to be between $1000.00 and $5000.00. Said transformers shall be equal to General Electric Type H, 50 Cycle. Contract to include sizes from 115 KW to 200 KW., for 2300 volt primary and either 115-230 volt or 230-460 volt secondary circuits; also all standard sizes for 11,500 volt primary and 230-460 volt, or 2300-4600 V volt secondary circuits. Prices for transformers to include oil, primary fuse cut-outs and hanger irons for sizes up to 50 KW. ITEM 2—INCANDESCENT LAMPS Incandescent lamps of such sizes, at such times and in such quantities as said City may determine, the total amount of contract for this commodity to be between $1200.00 and $2500.00. Said lamps shall be Magna or equal, and shall include all standard sizes and classifications. ITEM 3—ELECTRIC METERS Electric meters of such classes, at such times and in such quantities as said City may determine, the total amount of contract for this commodity to be between $1000.00 and $5000.00. Said meters shall include single phase for two or three wires, equal to General Electric Types D-7 and D-14; and 5 ampere meters for use with instrument transformers. Single phase meters for two wires to be 50 cycle, 110 volt; for three wires After two decades of watchful waiting, it is now possible that entrymen on desert lands in the Palo Verde Mesa and Chucawalla Valley district of Riverside county may at last look ahead to finding their dream come true, and 150,000 acres of desert blooming under the magic touch of water. Some of those who filed so hopefully in that long-gone time are dust and ashes now, and others have grown old. Their early day irrigation plan went to not after quite a sum of money had been spent on it. But year after year they clung to the land, being granted extensions from time to time by the government. In the closin ghours of the last congress, a bill which will allow these entrymen to obtain patents, and become actual owners through payment to the government of $2 per acre, was passed, and probably the last official act of Calvin Coolidge was to make the bill a law by fixing his signature to it. In order to "prove" the land, the entrymen must secure water either from the Colorado river by means of a diversion dam, or by pumping. Now that they may become actual owners of the land, the entrymen have renewed their activity, and through the Palo Verde Mesa and Chucawalla Valley Development Association are engaged in laying the foundation of a new plan for irrigation. The nature of the desert land is such that, without water, it is worthless, hence association officials are concentrating on this problem, after having sponsored successfully, the legislation which will give them title to the land. Filings have been made on the Colorado river, and the association has initiated a movement requesting the appointment by Gov. C. C. Young of a board of allocation," to collect, compile and distribute accurate data regarding the available water, sun up the situation and submit its conclusions as regard allocation to the various communities of the Southland. A recent letter from the association to the Governor declared that the matter should not be handled by anyone with selfish interests, but by able and honest judges. "There will undoubtedly be sufficient water to satisfy all legitimate claims for its use," the letter says. "But the situation may become very detached if unreasonable and uncommunicated uses are made of the waters. Many districts will undoubtedly make application for water, and there will be many other demands from remote and unheard-of districts, which may or may not be worthy of consideration. These things, together with other complications, may result in our having sufficient water, but completely without understanding as to the allocation and distribution of this water." The association is also sending letters to various chambers of commerce and other organizations of the state, urging the necessity of such a board. In one such letter to the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce, the association sums up its stand as follows: "The time has passed for any favorit- ITEM 3—ELECTRIC METERS Electric meters of such classes, at such times and in such quantities as said City may determine, the total amount of contract for this commodity to be between $1000.00 and $5000.00. Said meters shall include single phase for two or three wires, equal to General Electric Type I-16; polyphase equal to General Electric Types D-7 and D-14; and 5 ampere meters for use with instrument transformers. Single phase meters for two wires to be 50 cycle, 110 volt; for three wires to be 50 cycle, 110-220 volt. Polyphase meters to be 50 cycle, 220 and 440 volt. Each proposal for each item must be accompanied by a certified or cashier's check, payable to the City of Anaheim, in an amount not less than One Hundred ($100.00) Dollars; and the successful bidder for each item will be required to furnish, within ten days after the award of the contract, a surety bond payable to said City and subject to the approval of the City Council, in an amount not less than fifty per cent of the minimum amount of said contract, which said bond shall be conditioned upon the faithful performance of said contract. Further information may be obtained from the City Manager. The association is also sending letters to various chambers of commerce and other organizations of the state, urging the necessity of such a board. In one such letter to the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce, the association sums up its stand as follows: "The time has passed for any favoritism in the allocation of the waters of the Colorado river. Only one method of allocation will avert serious misunderstanding. No community, city, or group of cities or combination of selfish interests, is going to be permitted to dominate and dictate the policies of this very important life blood of Southern California. It must be clear cut, above board, and open to the entire Southern California population. Otherwise it is going to lead into litigation. This is a statement of fact, and is known to exist in the minds of thousands who are looking forward to the time when they will secure water for use upon their lands." On the association program is the eventual formation of an irrigation district which will arrange for the construction of such works as will bring the water to the land. Brooding and Pullet Management Circular The University of California has just released a new circular on the Brooding and Management of Spring Pullets. This circular is written by Poultry Specialists W. E. Newton and W. M. Buster. Assistant Farm Advisor W. M. Cory, in announcing the release of this publication to the poultrymen of Orange county, states that it will help to overcome many of the difficulties and failures experienced by the industry. The ability to raise pullets of good quality is certainly an important factor in the success of a commercial poultry farm. In view of the fact that 85 per cent of the poultry income of this state is derived from the sale of The City Council of said City reserves the right to reject any and all bids.
