County Residents Get Oil Returns The development of a new well by the Wilshire Oil company in the heart of the Santa Fe Springs field is of particular interest here, as the land upon which the well is located belongs to the Koontz estate. George Koontz, of 601 North Clementine street, this city, is one of the beneficiaries. The well, which is said to be a 10,000 barrel producer, came in at a depth of 6,800 feet. Three wells have been brought in on the Koontz estate. Well No. 4 was setting casing Saturday. Royalties on the new well will be shared by Gorge Koontz of this city; F. M. Koontz of Fullerton, and W. H. Koontz of San Marino, and four sisters living in various parts of the state. DESERT CITRUS Desert grapefruit growers affiliated with the California Fruit Growers Exchange have formed a district organization to be known as the Desert Citrus Exchange. The new district exchange will specialize in marketing the grapefruit of all desert sections of the southwest. Membership is now made up of citrus associations in the Imperial and Yuma valleys, but membership will be open to any association in all the desert producing areas. The Sunkist organization expects to market 700 to 800 carloads of grapefruit this season and will have rapidly increasing production during the next few years.

Heavy Gain In County’s Car Sales March Showed Increase of 97 Per Cent Over March, 1925 Automotive vehicle dealers in Orange county stepped out last month for a gain of 97 per cent in sales over March, 1928. It was revealed by receipt of a copy of the Motor Registration News of Oakland recapitulating the registration records for last month. With registration of 673 cars and trucks, as compared with 342 sales in the same month of last year, the county advanced from tenth place last year to eighth position this year among the 15 counties in the state leading in motor vehicle sales. Says the News: “March, 1929, like January and February, came through with flying colors and registered healthy gains when compared with the March, 1928, total. The state totals in March gained 38 per cent over the February, 1929, total sales, which amounted to 21,683. "A total of 29,960 cars and trucks was registered in the month just closed, and when compared with the same total of a year ago a gain of 12,229 or 69 per cent, is set forth. Northern California, in registering 12,402 cars and trucks in March of this year, increased the March, 1928, total of 8,142 cars and trucks, by 4,260 sales or 52 per cent. Southern California fared a little better, for the increase is listed at 83 per cent, and the sales totals for this part of the state are 17,558 for March, 1929, and 9,589 for March a year ago. When we view the passenger car field separately we find the same increase existing as when the combined totals are analyzed, namely, that of 69 per cent. The figures in this comparison are 27,902 for March of this year, and 16,520 for March of 1928. Northern California, with sales totaling 11,468 for the month just closed, is credited with an increase of 3,878 sales, or 51 per cent for the sales volume for the same month of last work. Richfield Oil Co. Increases Output Three Wells at Signal Hill Adds 8,000 Barrels a Day to Production The Richfield Oil Company of California has just increased its production 8,000 barrels daily in the completion of three wells at Signal Hill, namely, Meader No. 2, producing 2,500 barrels of oil from a depth of 7,021 feet; Butler No. 1, making 1,900 barrels from a depth of 7,101 feet; and Bernsteln No. 4, flowing 3,600 barrels daily from a depth of 7,335 feet. These wells are somewhat deeper than other producers in the immediate vicinity and prove up a zone of greater saturation than known in wells here to fore drilled. It is the belief of company geologists that this producing sand will be found for an additional 500 feet of depth. In addition, these wells are making a combined total of approximately 10,000,000 cubic feet of gas daily, from which a recovery of 26,000 gallons of casinghead gasoline is being obtained. From a financial standpoint this additional production is of particular importance as gatherin lines are already in existence in Signal Hill where Richfield’s main refineries and gas allotment plants are located, so that withdrawals are being handled at a minimum expense. Because of the remarkable results in three three last completions, taking into consideration the past enormous output of Signal Hill and the manner in which these new wells are sustaining production, Richfield, in view of its large holdings in this area, feels confident that it will not only be able to maintain its present rate of production for a considerable period, but is in a position to increase it from a new well standpoint when necessity arises. Work of deepening has either been started or is preparing to start on five old wells which have been producing from shallower zones, from 5,900 feet to 6,180 feet, with the anticipation of words of Paul to Titus: "For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, rightously, and godly; in this present world; looking for that blessed hope and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from all sinquity, and purify unto Himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works." One of the correlative passages from Science and Health contains the following words of Mrs. Eddy: "As man fallth asleep, so shall he awake. As death finds mortal man, so shall he be after death, until probation and growth shall effect the needed change." FATHER’S FOOTSTEPS It is hardly news that the state Board of Education, after a survey reports that only about ten per cent of sons follow in their fathers’ footsteps. In 461 cases taken, only fifty youths adopted the same occupation as their fathers. The average human doesn’t exude enthusiasm for his job. It is a part of our Puritanism to carry the appearance even when we are happy in our work; that we are unhappy; that our labor is sacrifice; a public service; etc. We want the pleasure of the work all right; and we also want the credit of self-sacrifice and sympathy from our families for our hard work. Many of us are like that. Small wonder that the sons don’t follow in the footsteps of their fathers. Especially is this to be expected since there is the additional factor that in the day of the fathers there was no emphasis placed on vocational guidance and many of the fathers have sincerely hated their work all their lives. We read the other day of a lobster fisherman on the New Jersey coast who inherited a small fortune. The day after receiving it he took a full boat load of lobster traps and all the paraphernulae of his fishing career and gave it a hearty burial off the coast. He had hated it all the years he had been doing it. We suspect that some of these poor folk who New Farm Belief Agricultural Sciences News Publicity is one methods used on farming and ing to M.C.

"Northern California, with sales totaling 11,468 for the month just closed, is credited with an increase of 3,878 sales, or 51 per cent for the sales volume for the same month of last year was 7,500." "An increase of 84 per cent was registered in the southern part of the state and the sales totals shown are 16,434 for March, 1929, and for March 1928." "The commercial car industry attained a total of 2,058 trucks in the month just closed, and when compared with the 1,211 registered in the same month a year ago, we find an increase of 547 sales, or 70 per cent." "Northern California, with sales volume amounting to 934 in March of this year, registered a gain of 382 sales or 69 per cent, for a year ago in March the sales totaled 552." "Southern California reached a total of 1,124 commercial cars in the month just closed, as against the 659 sold and registered in the same month of 1928. The increase listed is 465 sales, or 71 per cent." The statesmen over in Europe seem to have a great deal of trouble in adjusting the reparations. Our guess is that they will wind up by putting it on Uncle Sam's charge account.

Sunday, in all churches of Christ, Scientist, branches of the Mother Church. The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston. Mass. The lesson-sermon consists of citations from the Bible and correlative selections from the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy. Among the scriptural verses are the ORANGE COUNTY WEEDS Of the troublesome perennial weeds, hoary cress is among the earliest to appear. It has usually bloomed and gone to seed before much attention has been given to cultivation, and has therefore spread much more rapidly than most weeds of this class. In Orange county, it is most abundant in the territory north and east of Huntington Beach. There are several large infestations to the south of Santa Ana and a number of smaller patches in the vicinity of Buena Park and La Habra. The rootstocks of hoary cress are fine and wiry. They spread in all directions in the soil, and frequently are found in abundance to a great depth. A small bit of rootstock is sufficient to start a new infestation. The young plants, which shoot up from the overwintering rootstocks or sprout from ecd, resemble young cabbage plants. A rosette of leaves is formed in the center of which the flowering stem soon appears. The foliage is covered with the fine, grayish hairs from which the name hoary cress is derived. The flower stalks stand at an even height, varying from a few inches to as much as eighteen inches depending upon soil and moisture conditions. The individual flowers are minute with four white petals but are so numerous as to form a showy white-topped cluster. The seed pods are small and heart-shaped, each bearing two reddish mustard-like seeds. Under dry soil conditions only one crop of seed is formed each season, but under more favorable conditions, two and even three seed crops may be formed. In cultivated crops, hoary cress gives most trouble, as it shoots up from the rootstocks shortly after each cultivation. When the weed is well established, few crops can compete with it unless excessive hand work is employed. Because of its early seeding habit, especially is this to be expected since there is the additional factor that in the day of the fathers there was no emphasis placed on vocational guidance and many of the fathers have sincerely hated their work all their lives. We read the other day of a lobster fisherman on the New Jersey coast who inherited a small fortune. The day after receiving it-he took a full boat load of lobster traps and all the paraphernalia of his fishing career and gave it a hearty burial off the coast. He had hated it all the years he had been doing it. We suspect that some of these poor folk who inherit fortunes and stick to the same mental, humble jobs afterward, or say they do to the first rush of reporters are so deep in their rut that, unhappy folks, they don't know how to get out as did the lobster fisherman. Returning to the state survey, of the 461 cases investigated, 217 chose occupations in the same intelligence group as their fathers, and only 24 chose careers in a class lower. The others picked vocations in higher occupational groups. When all cost news story was economical means farmers and farmers desired changes ranked next in order closely by office. The cress is so low as favorably with female demonstration not of total cost even though there having helped percentage of the object lesson adult and junior are the most express about change proximately twice average of the cress. From such concern necessarily follow that an extension unlimited time to like without duck unit of time.

In cultivated crops, hoary cress gives most trouble, as it shoots up from the rootstocks shortly after each cultivation. When the weed is well established, few crops can compete with it unless excessive hand work is employed. Because of its early seeding habits, it is also troublesome in grain and hay crops. It is avoided by livestock because of its mustard-like flavor. If infested hay is fed, neither the hay nor the litter should be moved from the premises because of the probability of distributing the seed. Clean cultivation is sometimes successfully used to control hoary cress, but unless properly done, may be of more harm than good. Carbon bisulphide is the only proven material for complete eradication, but is too expensive for use on large areas. It should only be used on warm days during the season when the plants are growing vigorously. Arsenic acid and Diesel oil may be used as sprays to desurge top growth and prevent the formation of seed. If repeatedly applied, the spray will no doubt weaken the stand of the weed. It has not been determined which material is the more effective for this purpose. Arsenic acid is more efficient in cool, humid weather; Diesel oil in hot dry weather. Arsenic acid is somewhat the cheaper of the two materials. Vary the acid in your French dressing occasionally, and also the season-longs. Orange, lemon or grapefruit juice may be used in place of plain vinegar, or tarragon or spiced vinegar from pickles. Crumbled Roquefort cheese, minced green pepper or pimento, chopped stuffed olives, chopped mixed pickle, celery seed, horseradish or onin juice are other flavors which may be added according to taste, either separately or in any preferred combinations.

C. Wilson of the United States Department of Agriculture. Mr. Wilson recently completed a study of the relative effectiveness of the numerous methods employed by the extension forces of the department and the state agricultural colleges in introducing new and better practices in farming and home economics. Methods classified as publicity, he found, were the cause of the adoption of 30 per cent of the 27,032 improved practices introduced on 8,738 farms in 12 states. The remainder of these practices were adopted as a result of personal service methods, object lesson methods and indirect influence, these three groups being about equally influential. In the publicity group, which includes such mediums as news stories, bulletins, circular letters, posters, exhibits, general meetings, and radio, the printed or written word proved strikingly effective. News stories, bulletins, and circular letters caused the adoption of 18.32 per cent of all practices involved in the study, the news story alone being credited with ten per cent of the changes. General meetings were credited with causing 13.8 per cent of the changes; radio, 1.53 per cent; exhibits, .61 per cent, and posters, .94 per cent. "More than $20,000,000 is being expended yearly for extension work," Mr. Wilson says, "and it is important that we know not only the relative effectiveness of the different methods, but also the relative cost in time and money." The study showed that a unit of time spent by an extension worker in pre-enjoyable party Miss Florence Backs entertained a number of her young friends at a very happy bridge tournament, at her parents' home on North Philadelphia street, on Saturday evening. Miss Florence proved herself to be a most hospitable hostess and, her guests were regaled with a sumptuous dinner prepared in the highest style of the art by her mother, who takes second place to no one in the preparation of delicious conestibles. After dinner bridge was enjoyed, and the game continued until a late hour. Miss Helen Graffton was awarded first ladies' prize, and Miss Jessie Johnston carried off the booby. Nell Sparks carried off first gentleman's prize, and Jimmie Stevens was awarded the booby. STEPHEN KISTLER ILL Stephen Kistler has been quite seriously ill for some time now, and has been taken to the sanatorium where anxiety is felt relative to his recovery. Mr. Kistler is a long-time resident here and this is his first illness since coming to Anaheim. His many friends and associates will include the hope that he may have the good fortune to soon recover his former robust health. THOROUGHBRED GEESE Harry Hanna drove up yesterday from his avocado ranch at Vista and on his return took along with him a number of thoroughbred goings which Charlie Luclke hatched on his ranch southeast of town, some of them going on two weeks old and some a month old. Harry will go in for raising thoroughbred geese instead of turkeys, as a side issue to his avocado plantation. He has disposed of many of his building lots and is rapidly rolling up a wad of the long green. WOODGATE RUST There has been some discussion among inspectors as to the nature of the disease designated by the recent federal quarantine as Woodgate rust. It seems that there is no published information available on this rust disease and no description of it which would serve to identify the disease if it should be found. The quarantine calls for the refusal of all the known host plants, a special of hard pine varieties, when ever these host plants come from the affected area. It was first found on Scotch pine at Woodgate, New York, and attacks the tree with almost unprecedented virulence. It spreads directly from pine tree to pine tree without the intervention of an alternate host, which makes it par- federal quarantine as Woodgate rust. It seems that there is no published information available on this rust disease and no description of it which would serve to identify the disease if it should be found. The quarantine calls for the refusal of all the known host plants, a special of hard pine varieties, when ever these host plants come from the affected area. It was first found on Scotch pine at Woodgate, New York, and attacks the tree with almost unprecedented virulence. It spreads directly from pine tree to pine tree without the intervention of an alternate host, which makes it particularly dangerous. It will probably affect a number of the most valuable species of hard pines. Other pine tree ruts of the genus Peridermium cause a swollen gall which extends more or less around the affected twig or branch killing the portion beyond. Olaf Warling of Los Angeles and his two daughters, Misses Betty and May Warling of Santa Ana, spent Sunday in town visiting with acquaintances and looking up old landmarks. Formerly residents here, they failed to recognize the town. Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Zitzmann and their charming daughter, Miss Wilhelmina, were here from their home in Los Angeles during the week, and met a hospitable reception from their numerous friends. Sour milk soda may be substituted for sweet milk and baking powder in making biscuits, cake, or cookies, and vice versa. When proportions are given in terms of sweet milk and baking powder, an equal quantity of sour milk may be substituted and enough soda used approximately to neutralize the acid, or a scant half teaspoonful for each cup of sour milk. In the case of thin batters the soda and sour milk usually furnish enough leavening, but for thick batters or doughs, baking powder is usually needed in addition. For example, if biscuits call for 1 cup of sweet milk and 4 teaspoons of baking powder, 1 cup of sour milk may be used, a scant half teaspoon of soda and 2 teaspoons of baking powder.
