THE TOWN DOCTOR (The Doctor of Towns) SAYS If there was a time when it behooved small cities and towns to prepare for a big opportunity, it is right now. Big men, big industry and big town people are looking to the smaller cities as they have never looked before. You may call it trend of the times if you like, but whatever you call it, it is one big grand opportunity for those who are wise enough to see it and do something to get ready for it. Leading publications everywhere are printing special articles on it and it is more and more a subject of conversation wherever big men get together publicly or in private conference. In a recent issue of the American Magazine, Henry Ford said: Is it efficient for business to pay high land prices and high taxes in congested cities where its workers must pay exorbitant rents? By moving out, business could get lower land prices; lower taxes and lower rents—and far better living conditions for its people. A bulletin recently issued by the American Highway Educational Bureau says: "Dependable all-weather transportation has already begun to work wonders in the decentralization of manufacturing, with the result that more diversified forms of employment are being brought to the country." This development, like many changes in these whirligig days, has been going on so quietly and steadily as to pass almost unnoticed." It has come to be a common remark among motorists upon entering an unfamiliar town to ask, "What do they make here?" It is no longer enough to say that it is an agricultural town or an educational center, for surely they must be making some product or another while hite world at large uses. "It is often said, and with some degree of truth, the bulletin admits, that the drift of population from farm to city remains unchecked, but the facts are that this drift is stopping short of the larger cities and has begun to build up the towns and villages that lie so close to and form such an integral part of the open country." The lesson to be learned is that highway transportation is a going business and still greater returns will come from further improvement. It will not be economy to let down in highway extension programs because our state systems are so well under way. There are the main arteries, which, if widened—and they will be—hold even greater possibilities as trade channels. GET READY—you never know when a scout for a big man or a big business will be among you. He may be in your town now. He will not come among you with blare of trumpets; his report will not be based on your individual likability, or good fellowship of the few shining lights, but on your town as it IS—not as you believe it to be, if you have ever thought about it at all. Big men are not interested in Hickville or Hickvilleites. They believe as they have a right to believe, that the automobile and good roads, radio, telephone and free mail delivery should have, by now, taken the hick out of Hickville. If it hasn't, if such things have not awakened in the minds of towns the possibilities in the new order of things, then some other town is where they must investigate. Stand back and look at the picture of your community. Are you ready for big things? Copyright, 1929, A. D. Stone. Reproduction prohibited in whole or in part.

Exchange members always have two basic advantages ... in marketing their crops... Exchange members always have two basic advantages in marketing their crops. In the highly competitive marketing system of today, members of the California Fruit Growers Exchange have two powerful allies. No matter what the individual conditions of any one season may be, Exchange members always enter the field with these two facts on their side: 1. Exchange members stand less to market their fruit. (The cost of all Exchange services—including advertising—is less than the marketing cost alone of any other organization.) 2. Exchange members get more for their fruit. (The public and trade are willing to pay a premium for the better standardization and greater dependability of Exchange fruit.) These two great advantages are the result of large-scale cooperative efficiencies made possible by the fact that the Exchange markets 75% of the California citrus crop. These dollars-and-cents benefits have brought Exchange recognition as one of the most successful farmers' cooperative organizations in the world. The model for the similar cooperatives in other cultural industries throughout America and abroad. Their result is proved year after year by concrete figures which demonstrate that grade for size and size for size, Exchange members average the returns for their fruit.

Oranges Sunkist Lemons Grapefruit What the Exchange is The California Fruit Growers Exchange is a non-profit organization of 11,500 California citrus fruit growers, producing more than 75% of the California citrus crop, operated by and for them on a cooperative basis. Its object is to develop the national and international market for California Oranges, Lemons and Grapefruit, and to provide a marketing organization that will sell the fruit of its members most advantageously and at least expense. Receipts from sales, less only accrued cost of operation, are returned to growers. Applications are received through all the Exchange's 207 local packing associations, 22 District Exchanges, or at the central office in Los Angeles. ANAHEIM GAZETTE During the last few months testing of approximately 118,000 cattle in these nine counties showed the average degree of infection to be only about one-third of one per cent, and the area was reaccredited for another three-year period. The results of this extensive retest, officials of the Bureau of Animal Industry declare, show conclusively that large areas containing large numbers of cattle can be maintained comparatively free from bovine tuberculosis. The counties are in a group, with one exception, which is an advantage to all cattle owners in the area, as it is unnecessary to have so many quarantine restrictions. The greatest asset resulting from the work, however, is the fact that the disease has been practically eradicated from the area, thus eliminating economic losses from that source and also danger to the public. Powdery Mildew Of the Grapevine By ERIC E. EASTMAN, Assistant Farm Advisor Powdery mildew is the most serious fungus disease of the grapevine in California, and in most vineyard regions of the state is dangerous every year. Means of prevention and control of the disease are fully described by Prof. H. E. Jacob in circular 31 of the California Agricultural Extension Service publications which has just been received at the Farm Advisor's office for free distribution. The fungus of powdery mildew attacks all parts of the vine, including stems, leaves and berries. During the summer the fungus spreads by means of delicate summer spores, and it passes the winter in spores that have tough, resistant cases that make winter spraying ineffectual. The fungus grows best during warm, moderately moist weather of from 75 to 95 degrees temperature. An ounce of prevention is worth more than a pound of cure so far as grape powdery mildew is concerned. The prevention consists in keeping all parts of the vine likely to be attacked covered with a very light coating of sulfur particles. The particles of sulfur must be so close together that there is no place where a spore could fall and be far enough removed from a particle of sulfur.

NOTICE INV Santa Ana, CALIFORNIA In pursuance of Board of Supervisors Orange, California, 1829, directing this hereby given that receive at its office at Santa Ana, at or In this region, where weather conditions are favorable to the growth of mildew, the entire vine must be protected with sulfur throughout most of the season. Three applications before blooming will adequately protect the vines until the fruit is est, but a fourth application should be made soon after blooming and usually a fifth when the berries are half grown. For vines of average size from five to fifteen pounds of sulfur per acre are usually required for each application, depending upon the machinery used and the quantity of surface to be covered. High winds, wet vines and a temperature about 100 degrees F. should be avoided in sulfuring vines, but otherwise the weather and time of day are immaterial. It is best to irrigate and sucker the vines before dusting. The sulphur should be extremely fine, easy to work and free from adulterants. The control consists of a liquid spray consisting of one pound of potassium permanganate, one pound of sodium silicate (water glass) and one-third of a pound of baking soda added to 75 gallons of water. The cost of this treatment is considerably more than that of one or two extra sulfurings, and it should not be relied upon to take the place of careful dusting with dry sulphur early in the season.
