Farm Advisor To Study Fertilizer Farm Advisor H. E. Wahlberg will visit several state experiment stations this summer to review data and results from fertilizer practices on various soil types. His itinerary will include the agricultural experiment stations at Logan, Utah; Bozeman, Mont.; Pullman, Wash.; Corvallis, Ore.; and Davis, Calif. Enroute he will also meet with a number of farm advisors and agricultural agents who are engaged in agricultural extension and demonstration work. The Western States Farm Bureau Conference will be held at Bozeman during the week of July 22. Orange county will be represented there by Farm Advisor Wahlberg, N. M. Blaney, and J. A. Smiley. The conference will draw delegates from Oregon, Washington, California, Montana, Wyoming, Utah, Nevada, Arizona, Colorado, and New Mexico. Executives of the American Farm Bureau Federation from the Chicago office will be in charge of the convention. Daily Radio Program Beginning each day at 12 p.m. and continuing ten minutes, talks of interest to farmers, growers and producers will be given during the week beginning July 8, under the auspices of the Agricultural Extension Service, cooperating with radio station KFI, as follows: July 8—"Avocado Competition from Florida and Cuba," by C. V. Newman, president Calavo Growers' Exchange. July 9—"Some Pests of Truck Crops," by F. H. Ernst, assistant farm advisor, Los Angeles county. July 10—"Control of Citricola Scale," by John P.

WAGES AND INDUSTRY The outstanding result of our modern industrial age has been the increased wage level in recent years, with consequent improvement in living standards. W. Jett Lauck, former professor of economics and politics at Washington and Lee University, traces this movement in his book, "The New Industrial Revolution and Wages." Labor has been gradually reaching a higher social stalus. As Mr. Lauck says: "The new industrial era in America has been built primarily upon the rock of service and performance, and not the least amazing of the manw marvelous developments of the industrial revolution has been the discovery of modern industry that equip and service actually pay and are the essentials of permanent industrial achievement—that industrial expansion and operation should primarily be a social function and service." Industrial prosperity, under the modern scheme of things, is the result of individual prosperity. The old theory of getting labor as cheaply as possible has disappeared. A new industrial philosophy sees the advantages of paying high wages for good work and increased output per man. As Mr. Lauck's very valuable volume shows, a new age has arrived in the United States—an age of higher wages, greater production and more general prosperity and progress than the world has ever known. The making of cottage cheese in small quantities for home use is a very simple process and ordinary household equipment will suffice, says the Bureau of Dairy Industry, U. S. Department of Agriculture. It is desirable, however, to use a floating dairy thermometer in order to obtain uniform results. If the cheese is made without a curdling agent, hold fresh clean milk at a temperature of 75° F until curdled. Cut the curd into small pieces, stir and heat to 100° F. In half an hour. Put it on a cheese cloth, drain for about 25 minutes and salt. If a curdling agent such as rennet is used, warm the milk to 75° F. and add the rennet (first diluting it in cold water) at the rate of ten drops to 30 pounds of milk. When curdled pour the curd on cotton cloth, let drain for 25 minutes, press with teague on it.

ANAHEIM GAZETTE Teague Appointed On Federal Board Fruit Grower of California Gets Important Position Announcement was made from California Fruit Growers' headquarters on Monday, July 1, of the acceptance by C. C. Teague of a place on the new Federal Farm Board. Mr. Teague accepted the responsibility of representing the Pacific Coast agricultural interests only after the persistent requests of President Hoover and after many telegrams from co-operative leaders. He will serve at considerable sacrifice to his personal interests. It is understood that Mr. Teague agreed to take the position for one year. Appointment to this new board, to which is entrusted the task of carrying out the provisions of the new farm relief law, is a signal honor to both Mr. Teague's position as a leader in agriculture and in co-operative marketing, and to the two outstanding cooperative organizations of which he is president, the California Fruit Growers' Exchange and the California Walnut Growers' Association. The personnel of the board of nine men will include the most able men available from the principal agricultural industries of various sections of the United States, along with a representative of general business interests and another experienced in the field of finance and banking, together with the Secretary of agriculture, ex-officio. Mr. Teague has been the leading figure among the successful co-operative marketing groups of the west for a number of years and as such his counsel has been sought at Washington on many occasions. He has been president of the Sunkist organization for nine years and a director for nineteen years and president of the walnut co-operative since its organization fifteen years ago. Born in Caribou, Maine, in 1873, Mr. Teague came to Santa Paula, his present home, thirty-six years ago and his first job was as a farm hand on a citrus ranch. Today he is president of the Limoneira company, largest lemon ranch in the world, and of several other citrus concerns and water companies in the Santa Paula district. Station found in a 5-year trial that the average per cent of digestible protein in alfalfa hay cut at the bud stage was 15.9%—at one-tenth bloom, 11%, at full bloom, 11.7%—and at seed stage, 8.7%. When the hay, cut at these various etages, was fed to steers it required, to make 100 lbs. of grain, 1628 lbs. of bud stage hay, 2086 lbs. of one-tenth bloom hay, 2163 lbs. of full bloom hay, and 3910 lbs. of hay cut at the seed forming stage. Bud-stage hay made best grains when fed. Hay cut at the seed forming stage was least efficient as a grain producer when fed to steers. Market prices show pretty well the opinion of a large group of feeders with respect to the comparative feed value of alfalfa hay of various grades. At Kansas City, for example, from May, 1926, to January, 1929, the average price paid for U. S. No. 1 alfalfa was $20 per ton, U. S. No. 2 alfalfa, $17 per ton, and U. S. No. 3 alfalfa, $14 per ton. During this same period, alfalfa hay of the very leafy, clinging foliage type, which is graded under the U.S. standards as U.S. No. 1 or No. 2 extra leafy alfalfa, sold at premiums of $3 to $6 per ton above the prices paid for straight U.S. No. 1 alfalfa. It is sometimes impossible for the farmer to avoid the damaging effect of weather on hay quality. But the important factors of time of cutting, the methods of curing, and methods of storing, are largely under the control of the farmer. Producers who plan to raise high grade alfalfa hay should remember that about two-thirds of the protein of the alfalfa plant is contained in the leaves; that about four-fifths of the crude fiber is in the stems, and that leafiness decreases and crude fiber increases as the plant matures. Thus to make alfalfa hay of high grade and high feed value, it is essential to cut the crop in the early stages of bloom and to handle it during the curing and storing periods so as to retain a high degree of leafiness. Detailed discussions of "Methods of Producing High Grade Alfalfa Hay" and "Legume Hay for Milk Production" may be found in Farmers' Bulletins numbered 1539 and 1573 of the U.S. Department of Agriculture, copies of which may be mailed by the department on request. County's Share of County's Share of Highway Funds Orange County's Quota of State Fund Is $355,000 With more than $8,000,000 in highway work under contract in thirteen southern counties, to be paid for by the State of California, Orange county is participating to the extent of $355,606.42, according to figures released by B. B. Meek, director of the state department of public works. Actual construction work is expected to start in the near future on the new section of state highway between Santa Ana and Anaheim, to be paved with concrete to a width of 56 feet, making a four-lane road with two parking lanes on either side. Orange county is co-operating with the state on this project and will share approximately one-half of the expense. Plans and specifications for the Orange county portion of the work were prepared by Nat Neff, highway superintendent. The state's share of the expense on the project is $250,000. The Griffith company, Los Angeles, is the contracting firm. The new stretch is to be five miles long. Other state contracts awarded for work in Orange county include a bridge and approaches over the Santa Fe railroad at Irvine, eliminating a dangerous crossing; John Simpson and company, Los Angeles, contractor; total estimated cost, $61,539.45; state's share, $33,-460.08. Approaches to overhead crossing at Irvine, copsists of grading and paying with Portland cement concrete; Steele Finley, Santa Ann, contractor; estimated cost, $72,146.34. Anglers Are After The Golden Trout With the opening of the Golden trout season on July 1st, many fishermen are being attracted to the Monachee and Cottonwood Lakes districts of the High Sierra country. Within this area are found many lakes and streams in which the rare and beautiful Golden trout, native to this district, are abundant. There is a pack camp located on Cottonwood Creek, and leaving some there are numerous camp spots along the creek, but the most desirable ones are encountered after the first summit is and to handle it during the curing and storing periods so as to retain a high degree of leafiness.

Indicating his active service to agricultural activities, Mr. Teague came to Santa Paula, his present home, thirty-six years ago and his first job was as a farm hand on a citrus ranch. Today he is president of the Limoneira company, largest lemon ranch in the world, and of several other citrus concerns and water companies in the Santa Paula district. He is a director and vice-president of the Security-First National Trust and Savings Bank of Los Angeles, and president of the advisory board of the Santa Paula branch of that banking system. Indicating his active service to agricultural activities, Mr. Teague is chairman of the agricultural legislative committee of California, vice-president of the California Development Association and chairman of its agricultural committee, and a director of the California Citrus League. He has just returned from Washington where he represented the league before the Senate Finance Committee, in this further consideration of the tariff revision on lemons and on citrus by-products. Mr. Teague has great faith in real grower-owned and grower-controlled commodity co-operatives, such as the two he heads, as a basic prerequisite to improved marketing conditions for perishable farm products such as are produced in California. He sees co-operative marketing from the viewpoint of the man who has spent most of a life-time in daily contact with the difficulties of co-operation, as well as with its advantages in selling under difficulties. Producing High Quality Alfalfa A radio talk by Mr. Edward C. Parker, Bureau of Agricultural Economics, delivered through station WRC and 16 other stations associated with the National Broadcasting Company, June 6, 1928. Experienced stockmen know that it is a well established principle of correct livestock feeding that the roughage should come first in planning a ration. Low cost feed bills—especially in dairy cow feeding—are based on the maximum use of legume hays as the source of protein. From the farm management standpoint, also the legume hays—especially alfalfa—yield a much greater quantity of nutrients per acre than timothy or other grass hays. Let's illustrate this matter of feed costs. Last autumn, the average cost of digestible protein in various important feeds in the dairy regions of Wisconsin, Minnesota and Iowa—based on farm prices for hay and retail prices for mill feeds at country markets—was as follows: 100 lbs. of protein in alfalfa hay cost $6.78; 100 lbs. of protein in clover hay cost $7.47; in timothy hay, mum use of legume hays as the source of protein. From the farm management standpoint, also the legume hays—especially alfalfa—yield a much greater quantity of nutrients per acre than timothy or other grass hays. Let's illustrate this matter of feed costs. Last autumn, the average cost of digestible protein in various important feeds in the dairy regions of Wisconsin, Minnesota and Iowa—based on farm prices for hay and retail prices for mill feeds at country markets—was as follows: 100 lbs of protein in alfalfa hay cost $6.78; 100 lbs of protein in clover hay cost $7.47; in timothy hay, $18.05; in bran, $12.90; and in linseed meal, $9.12. These comparative costs vary, of course, in different regions and with seasonal market price variations but they always bring home to us the comparatively low cost of digestible protein in alfalfa hay. These statements and cost figures, however, show only a part of the entire picture of the value of alfalfa in making rations for dairy cattle, beef cattle and sheep. That's because they don't include statements about the comparative feed value of alfalfa hay of varying quality of grade. Wherever protein is the feed nutrient of chief importance—as is usually the case in dairy cow feeding—the feed value of alfalfa hay depends, in large degree, on the quality or grade of the hay. You can get high grade alfalfa hay by cutting the crop not later that the one-quarter bloom stage, and by curing in a manner to preserve the greatest degree of leafiness and color. Low grade alfalfa hay, on the other hand, results from cutting the crop when overripe—from over-drying that shatters the leaves—from under-curing, which may cause unsoundness—or from excessive rain damage. The protein content of high grade alfalfa hay that was cut early and that have pliable stems and a high degree of clinging foliage often runs from 15% to 20%. The protein content of late cut and stemmy alfalfa hay often runs from 8% to 10% only. Palatability is superior, also, in the high grade product. The Kansas Agricultural Experiment With the opening of the Golden trout season on July 1st, many fishermen are being attracted to the Monachee and Cottonwood Lakes districts of the High Sierra country. Within this area are found many lakes and streams in which the rare and beautiful Golden trout native to this district, are abundant. There is a pack camp located on Cottonwood Creek, and leaving same there are numerous camp spots along the creek, but the most desirable ones are encountered after the first summit is crossed at an elevation of 9,500 feet. Here are vast meadows gently sloping toward the trout streams, which are shaded by immense pines. Hotel accommodations may be secured at Golden Trout Camp, just three miles from the lakes. There are 21 lakes in the Cottonwood group, seven of which are stocked with Golden trout. Camping on the shores of these lakes is favorable, but the nights are cold and it is advisable to carry heavy bedding. Leaving the lakes and crossing Army pass, on the "Mount Whitney Trail," Rock Creek and Rock Creek lakes are passed. These offer very satisfactory fishing. Five miles further is located Crabtree Meadows and Crabtree Creek. In this creek and also Whitney creek are splendid sized trout. Parties going to Mt. Whitney should camp at one of these creeks all night for they are located just five miles from Mt. Whitney. Good flavors to serve together: Fried chicken and corn fritters with a spoonful of bright red jelly on each fritter; beefsteak with fried potatoes, browned mushrooms, fried tomatoes or fried onions; lamb chops around a mound of green peas or buttered carrots or lightly piled mashed potatoes. Have the platter very hot. Pork chops look well served with apple rings or jellied apples colored red. A bit of green garnish—parsley, cress, celery tops, or lettuce—makes any meat or fish dish look well. Which One Is the Mother? The Test of Your Youth Is Your Health Two women sang a duet. The song released. The tones were clear, vibrant. The singers seemed to be about the same age. One was a sophomore in a college; she was clear of skin, bright of eye with a wealth of beautiful hair — she stood erect, charming. I turned to my program. Mrs. Brown and her daughter were to sing the Barcarolle—that's what was now being sung. I turned to my friend to ask: "But which is the mother?" Together we tried to find the marks of the 20 years (at least) that must have laid some trace on the mother. Later we met them. Poise, point of view and diet — those three — but most of all diet. Diet by eating the right things. Each of those gifted women drank a quart of milk every day.
