Reservations For WAHLBERG GRID DATA ON COUNTY FARM ADDITION SPEAKS TO GROWER DINNER HERE Cost of Producing An Oranges and the Selling Presented; Figures Given After a Painstaking Explains That the Creation Unusually Light in 1925 sequently Profit Is To Orange growers from all sections the county gathered at the Union high school, Monday and enjoyed a dinner in the address of the evening was to list Prominent men from all sections of Southern California were guests at the annual dinner given by the directors of the Orange Show, at Elks clubhouse Tuesday night. The group was composed of newspaper men, county and city officials, railroad and motor bus officials, and many others. Each man pledged the support, not only of himself, but his community, to the coming show. Aside from these officials there were many representatives of packing houses, as well as prominent growers, and all joined in pledging support to the show. William G. Bonnelli, one of the candidates for mayor of Los Angeles, was the principal speaker. The candidates recited the situation of Southern California building successful and prosperous cities on a desert, emphasizing the important part water has played in converting desert to highly productive lands, and stressing the fact that the energy and vision of early settlers had laid the foundation for the progress that has been made. Asserting that city residents give little thought to the fact that their existence in a city is dependent on agriculture, Bonnelli said a city could not live without an agricultural background, but that agriculturists could survive without the city. Bonnelli pointed to the citrus crop of California returning annually a sum in excess of $50,000,000, and paid tribute to the California Valencia show for what it has done and is doing in promoting the big citrus industry. C. C. Chapman of Fullerton, regarded as the "father" of valencias, recounted experiences he had in getting people interested in this fruit when he first started marketing products from his orchards thirty years ago. Navels, Mediterranean sweets and miscellaneous varieties were known to the trade, while the valencia was unknown. He said that at that time it was almost impossible to sell oranges after July 4. He finally made a connection in New York for his special pack of fruit, and he asserted that it was this connection that led to the tremendous present demand for this fruit. He recounted the sensation he experienced when his fruit sold at public auction in New York at $5 a box. Chapman gave emphasis to the point that no other fruit drink is comparable with orange juice as a health drink. Leonard Evans, president of the Anaheim Chamber of Commerce, officiated as toastmaster, and in introducing Bonnelli presented a brief recapitulation of the development of the valencia show, and declared the show more a county and state affair than an Anaheim enterprise. When introduced by Evans, the following pledged Reservations For Fourteen Features Neighbors To Construct Beautiful Exhibits at Orange Show Fourteen community exhibits, two more than last year, have already made space reservation for the California Valencia Orange Show, to be held here May 23 to June 2. Information to this effect was vouchsafed by George W. Reid, general manager of the ninth annual event. Tentative arrangements are said to have been made by several other cities for similar representation, thereby establishing new precedents for the classic. Those already assured of building elaborate exhibits in conformity with the show's motif of "Robinson Crusoe" are Los Angeles county, San Diego, National Orange Show of San Bernardino, Ventura county, Sacramento, Orange county, Long Beach, Pomona, Pasadena, Fullerton, Orange, Santa Ana, Anaheim high school and north Orange county citrus houses. Fresno, Hemet, Huntington Beach and others are contemplating exhibits according to word from these cities. According to Manager Reid, the Valencia Orange Show faces a serious problem to provide space for additional cities or counties which may still decide to build exhibits, despite the larger area of this year's exposition. The exhibits, based on their elaborateness of preceding years, will cost their sponsors thousands of dollars. The various phases of Crusoe's twenty-seven years on the desert island popularized by Defoe in his widely-read story, will be depicted. Each exhibit is to feature a distinctive instance of the fiction hero's adventures.

The principal business of the evening was to listen to an address by Harold Wahiberg, farm advisor of Orange county, on the cost of sowing and marketing an acre ofanges in Orange county. Mr. Wahiberg has had eighty growers from all sections of the county assisting him in gathering data and the figures he predeared are accurate. He explained, however, that they were based on last year's crop, and as the crop was one of the lightest ever harvested they cannot be taken as basis for normal crops. Gathered at the meeting were more than fifty of the eighty orange county farmers who, during the past three years, have provided Farm Advisor Wahiberg with data regarding the income and expenses connected with their various groves. From the information thus provided Mr. Wahiberg working in conjunction with the extension department of the University California, has prepared comparative data revealing average figures and assigned to aid growers in operating their ranches economically and to the best advantage. The results of this survey, which is to be extended over a period of five years, furnished the material for Mr. Wahiberg's address, and for the round table discussion that followed. Each grower co-operating in the survey was provided with a chart showing his income and costs for the past season, along with the average income and costs revealed by the survey. The average gross income per acre is extended over a period of five years, furnished the material for Mr. Wahiberg's address, and for the round table discussion that followed.

Howard Gates Is Planning a Trip Will Make Another Visit To Mexico in Search of Rare Plants Howard E. Gates, Anaheim's enterprising florist, has just issued a booklet giving a price list of the rare cactus plants he collected on his tour into Lower California last year. The list is a long one and many of the specimens have been unknown in this section. His trip took him as far south as La Paz, at the extreme south end of Baja California, and he states that it disclosed many strange plants not mentioned in his price list, because of his inability to give them names. He has a large variety and no doubt all will flourish ni this climate. Howard is now planning another trip into the Mexican wilds in search of more strange specimens. He will leave early in July, and will be absent several months. He expects to add greatly to his already long list by this trip. In fact, he will thoroughly comb Baja California, and does not intend to let any rare specimen escape him. He will make the trip alone and is not in the least alarmed by the reveries of Oranges. Members of the board of governors named were E. M. Everett, Bank of Italy of Placentaia; Glen B. Gossett, First National Trust and Savings bank of Fullerton; R. P. Raddant, Bank of Italy of Santa Ana; G. Lumsden, First National of Anaheim; L. J. Oliver, Security-First National of Fullerton; Vance Ford, Bank of Italy of Anaheim; L. B. Armstrong, First National of Santa Ana; Harold Fish, First National of Santa Ana; and Albert Boshe Bank of Italy, of Orange. Retiring officers were: President Roy Edwards, First National Of Orange; vice-president Dean Campbell, First National Of Santa Ana; secretary Miss Isle Schultz, First National Of Santa Ana; and treasurer Dean Culver, Farmers and Merchants of Santa Ana. R.H. Bliggs of the Bank of Italy of Fullerton was a retiring member of the board of governors. Judge F.C. Drummm of Santa Ana, formerly on the superior court, was the principal speaker, giving a humorous talk. Frank Klose, planist and accordion player, and Victor Rees, singer both students at the University of Southern California, furnished the musical program for the banquet. Glen B. Gossett of the Fullerton First National Trust and Savings bank had charge of arrangements for the banquet. Work on installation of the new 15-panel switchboard at the municipal power plant is nearing completion. The work is being rushed in order to have it finished before the orange show opens, as an extra heavy load will be required from the power house while the show is in operation. The new switchboard cost $13,400, and is the most up-to-date apparatus of its kind made. It will supplant the old 7-panel board which has become inadequate to handle the needs of the city and the increasing demands on it. The panels of the huge board occupying the southwest portion of the power house are removed from the high-tension bus lines, oil switches, and transformers. Hannum explained. The switches on the board are separated from the dangerous high voltage leads by sub-floor mechanical control. With installation of the new board and the 260 kilowatt emergency generator, the city is prepared to meet a failure of the Southern California Edition company supply by the generation and distribution of enough power to maintain at least the municipal water supply and essential enterprises. Division of the new board has been arranged as follows. Two panels for the 2300-volt Edison supply; Anaheim emergency or auxiliary generator panel; bus tie panel by which the Edison company and emergency supply may be used simultaneously; light and power panel for city buildings; station one city deep well panel; station two city deep well panel; three street light panels; and five light and power panels Each panel has a switch, watt-hour meter, and a three-phase-load ammeter. Southern California Edison company electricity reaches the city station at the pressure of 11,000 volts, and is transformed to 2300 volts, where it is handled by the control board for all city purposes. For power purposes it is transformed to 440 and 220 volts, and for general home use 110 volts, the transformers being located on poles in different sections of the city. Special theo-relays on the new switchboard prevent burn-out from over-load, the oil switches tripping automatically when the load builds up dangerously. Another device keeps a constant voltage on city lines, eliminating a flicker. The emergency generator is wired for the delivery of the standard 2300-volt supply, and will prove an economic as well as a safety factor when the irrigation season starts. Hannum declared. The unit is composed of a 400 h.p. two-cylinder double-opposed gas engine direct-connected with an alternating current generator and a direct current exciter. Its purchase has been arranged on payments from game keeper. While in Germany in Germany, Tooze played for a short Pittsburgh team in League. Tooze organized night baseball and kept South championship for threeless American football teams. Reverses Superior Montgomery Case Appellate Court Upsets Whether Orange ceased immediately with J.W. Montgomery terrier charge connected with Orlie R. Mahon law as ordered in a decisive late court, or will court ruling be sentencing Montgomery not more ten years in jail, he filed an appeal counsel, L.A. West Kinney. His demand was granted by the Court. If satisfied that there for carrying the case court, West will take ately to bring Montgomery San Quentin for his trial. Although he was tried murder charge before would face only a single charge this time, it did trial charged by John D. Callicott hon. Sunset Beach duck he killed on the press formaria Gun Club, near Montgomery game keeper. Montgomery Demonstration By Citrus Growers Spring management of citrus orchards will be the subject of four field meetings this week according to Harold W. Wahlberg, Farm Advisor. Irrigation and cultivation methods best adapted to Orange county conditions will be explained by the farm advisor and W. R. Schoonover, citrus specialist of the Agricultural Extension Service. The meetings will be held conveniently to the various citrus growing districts of the county. The schedule follows: At 10 o'clock today at place of J. J. Lawyer, corner Garden Grove road and all road, between Anaheim and Garden Grove. At 2 o'clock today at place of Rayrantz, La Habra, Palm avenue, one-quarter mile north of Center street. Friday, the 26th, 10 a.m., place of E. E. Campbell, Orange. Fairhaven avenue, near Tustin avenue; one mile south of Orange and one mile east. Friday, the 26th, 2 p.m., place of W. W. McCulloch, Placentia Fruit Company on Placentia avenue, three miles east of Fullerton. All growers of citrus fruits and any others interested are invited to attend. Brock in Florida To Fight Insect Wants to Learn Best Method of Eradicating Mediterranean Fly Joining the rapidly growing army of Southern California citrus experts who are gathering in Florida to study means of combatting infestations of the Mediterranean fruit fly there, and to assist in combatting its ravages in orange groves. County Horticultural Commissioner A. A. Brock left Wednesday for Jacksonville, Florida. The board of supervisors dispatched Brock to the "battleground," where the fight is being waged to save the citrus industry from the most dreaded pest known. Brock will work under the control crew now in the field, which is attempting to discover means of ridding Florida of the fly. He will study methods adopted there and gain first hand knowledge of tactics and "ammunition" used in fighting these pests. Governor C. C. Young recently suggested that counties in the citrus belts send men to Florida, not only to assist in the work of battling the fruit fly, but also to learn what methods prove mentioned in his price list, because of his inability to give them names. He has a large variety and no doubt all will flourish ni this climate. Howard is now planning another trip into the Mexican wilds in search of more strange specimens. He will leave early in July, and will be absent several months. He expects to add greatly to his already long list by this trip. In fact, he will thoroughly comb Baja California, and does not intend to let any rare specimen escape him. He will make the trip alone and is not in the least alarmed by the revolution, which will probably be over before he starts. Anaheim Woman Is Laid To Rest Funeral services were held Monday afternoon at the Hilgenfeld funeral parlors for Mrs. Arthur Johnson, 37, who passed away Friday evening at the Artesia hospital. The Rev. L. T. Barkman, pastor of Calvary Baptist church, officiated and interment was made in the Anaheim cemetery. Mrs. Johnson is survived by her husband and three sons, Norman, Harry and Richel Johnson, all students in the Anaheim Union high school; her parents, six brothers and two sisters. successful and how they are carried out. It is not thought probable that the fly will reach California, and rigid quarantines are being maintained to prevent its spread. However, it is felt that first hand knowledge of methods of eradicating the citrus enemy should be obtained in order that immediate and effective action could be taken in case the pest should appear here. In journeying to Florida, Brock joined horticultural commissioners from other counties, including H. J. Ryan, Los Angeles county; A. E. Bottell, Riverside county; A. H. Call, Ventura county, and T. D. Urbahns, Sutter county. 1928 PRODUCTS OF THE SOIL IN THE COUNTY Total Value $90,000,000 Girls Crops 22,000,000 Girls Out 50,000,000 ORANGE SHOW Two Anaheim Men Recalling Baseball Days The opening of the baseball season recalls to the minds of two Anaheim men the days following the outbreak when they composed the battery of the champion team of the army of occupation on the Rhine. The men are Chief of Police James S. Bouldin and C. H. Tooze, Anaheim business man. Tooze was well known in the athletic world at the time as an all around athlete, having won the mile run at the Latin Olympiad in South America in 1903. While the American forces were in Germany, Tooze was director of the athletic department of the army and Chief Bouldin was his assistant. The last year before they returned home, as battery of the army team, they played through the season without losing a game. Bouldin is a ball player of no mean ability, Tooze says, and he played for a short time on the Pittsburgh team in the National League. Tooze organized the Whit tier night baseball stars, who won and kept the Southern California championship for three years. VALENCIA CROP WILL BREAK THE RECORD SPEAKER AT ELKS CLUB-HOUSE TELLS OF SITUATION AT BEGINNING OF HARVEST Says Southern California Orchards Will Yield Between 18,000,000 and 20,000,000 Boxes This Year, and the Price Is Expected To Be About $3 Per Box; Fruit Is Small, But the Quality is Good, He Said. The largest crop of valencia oranges ever produced in Orange county and Southern California, a harvest which will produce between 18,000,000 and 20,000,000 boxes of fruit, is hanging Appellate Court Upsets Decision Reverses Superior Court in the Montgomery Manslaughter Case Whether Orange county will proceed immediately with a second trial of J. W. Montgomery on a manslaughter charge connected with the shooting of Orlie R. Mahon last November 15, as ordered in a decision by the appellate court, or will try to upset the court ruling by petitioning for a rehearing in the state supreme court, remains an unsettled question. District Attorney Z. B. West, Jr., said he would not make his decision as to the course to be pursued until he receives the remittitur, or official copy of the appellate court's decision, which uphold the appeal of Montgomery from a superior court ruling denying him a new trial, following his conviction last January. West desires to examine the remittitur and study the points upon which the appellate court based its findings. Montgomery moved for a new trial on the ground that evidence in his first trial was insufficient to support the verdict of manslaughter, or to overthrow his defense that he had shot Mahon in self-defense. When Judge E. J. Marks denied the new trial and sentenced Montgomery to a term of not more than ten years at San Quentin, he filed an appeal through his counsel, L. A. West and B. Z. McKinney. His demand for a new trial was granted by the higher court. If satisfied that there is no grounds for carrying the case to the supreme court, West will take steps immediately to bring Montgomery back from San Quentin for his second trial, he said. Although he was tried on a double murder charge before, Montgomery would face only a single manslaughter charge this time, it is said. He faced trial before charged with the murder of John D. Calllecott and Orlie R. Mahon, Sunset Beach duck hunters, whom he killed on the preserves of the California Gun Club, near Westminster, where Montgomery was employed as game keeper. Montgomery's defense says Southern California Orchards Will Yield Between 18,000,000 and 20,000,000 Boxes This Year, and the Price Is Expected To Be About $3 Per Box; Fruit Is Small, But the Quality is Good, He Said. The largest crop of valencia oranges ever produced in Orange county and Southern California, a harvest which will produce between 18,000,000 and 20,000,000 boxes of fruit, is hanging on thousands of acres of trees today, awaiting the launching of the packing season, which will start about May 15. According to studies conducted by H. R. Wellman, economist for the Agricultural Extension Service of the University of California, a price of approximately $3 per box may be expected for this huge yield. Orange county, which produces over one-half of the California valencia crop, may expect to receive between $27,000,000 and $30,000,000 for fruit now on the trees, on the basis of this estimate. This would exceed last year's returns of $23,000,000 for all citrus fruit produced in this county. The estimate of 18,000,000 to 20,000,000 boxes of fruit in Southern California was made Thursday night by L. D. Savage, assistant sales manager for the orange department of the California Fruit Exchange, who spoke at a meeting of the Northern Orange County Fruit Exchange at the Elks club in Anaheim. Savage stated that approximately 6,000 cars of navel oranges remained to be shipped from Southern California and that for this reason shipping of valencias should be withheld until May 15. According to H. J. Ramsey, who also addressed the gathering, the 1929 crop is of far better quality than that of last year and this factor will help to make up for the smaller sizes which will be picked. The 1928 crop, he said, was one of the poorest ever shipped in respect to quality. The meeting was attended by 200 directors and managers of packing houses in northern Orange county. Farm Advisor Harold Wahlberg addressed the meeting on the status of the valencia industry, basin ghis remarks on surveys conducted by the economic division of the Agricultural Extension Service. He presented charts showing that the prices for valencia oranges are best from June to November, when they meet slight com petition. He said that restriction of lemon shipments in recent years to only the best grades had resulted in improving the situation for that crop. The group voted to request Governor C. C. Young to veto a bill which would limit the sale of economic poisons to drug stores on the ground that it would force farmers to buy their materials in small amounts and cut them off from wholesalers. Another bill which would prevent employment of allen labor on public works, also was opposed. A resolution was passed E. R. Turck Dies at Home in Los Angeles E. R. Turck, for many years a well known citizen of Anaheim, but who for several years past has been living in Los Angeles, died at his home in that city last Wednesday, after a short illness. Mr. Turck was an expert chemist, and during his residence here was chief chemist at the Chino Sugar factory for thirty years, making his home in this city during that period. He is survived by a widow and one son. Funeral services were held at 2 o'clock Saturday, at the Francis V. Hall mortuary, 1607 South Flower street, Los Angeles. The women used to wear hobble skirts so tight around the ankles they could hardly step. Now they wear 'em so tight around the hips they can hardly sit. Who remembers the good old days when the dapper bartender with the waxed black moustache, the red necktie and horseshoe pin was regarded as the last word in masculine splendor? Miss Darnley Wins Swimming Contest Miss Jessie Darnley, pretty 16-year-old high school girl, won her right to the title of "Miss Anaheim" in a novel contest at the city park Monday. "Miss Anaheim" will represent this city at the Orange Show, which will be staged here for eleven days, commencing May 23, next. With hundreds of students and the school band participating in the day's festivities, Miss Darnley won the obstacle swimming contest from more than a score of contestants. She swam 200 feet through water covered solidly with three tons of valencia oranges. Miss Darnley is well known in Orange county for her athletic prowess. She is a member of the Anaheim Athletic club, and is an expert swimmer and diver. The students all wore their regulation rooters' uniforms, the girls wearing white ensembles and the boys wearing orange-colored blazers. High school was dismissed in the afternoon in order to allow the students to participate in the orange show festivities.
