Ten Thousand in the Cast of Noah's Ark Scene From Noah's Ark' starring Dolores Costello with George O'Brien A Warner Bros. Production Noah's Ark Building Assignment Less Difficult Than Task of Transferring Biblical Deluge to Screen The man, horse, hydraulic and electric power involved in a super-spectacle motion picture is admirably illustrated production of "Noah's Ark." Trated in Warner Bros.' recently com- The sheer mechanical of organizing a vast army of 10,000 extras, controlling a horde of animals, and charting musicians, protographers, electricians and 1,100 workmen on a thirty-eight acre auxiliary studio, for the making of a two-million-dollar screen epic—all this transcends the organization requisite for an industrial plant where a product is fit into a pattern and where there is plenty of time. The first order was expected, drama that would justify both aesthetically and economically the colossal expenditure. The whipping into shape of a super-cinematic opus more than anything else resembles the marshalling by war lords of their forces. Both the general and the producer utilize vast numbers, have arbitrary power, and move over an immense terrain for their ultimate purposes. It is interesting to study the statistical figures on this production. Fifty technical experts were engaged to work on drawings. An army of skilled artisans worked in three eight-hour of the limb.

Mussels Poisonous California State Health has just being warning: In July, 1927, followance of 102 cases of after eating mussels the California coast, the extent of Public Health with the Hooper Pound Research, began agitations into this type which have been continuously since the exact cause of the dition in these shells determined definitely, mussels gathered in months may be high the general public against the apparent Each Broken Branch Means a Loss Growers Are Advised to Prevent Such Loss in Their Walnut Groves Not many walnut groves are overburdened with crop this year, as a result of frost and other unexplained causes. Nevertheless, there are individual trees which are carrying heavy crops in many groves. Also, there are one localities in which the general set is heavy. Some young groves carrying crop weight for the first time are now showing signs of their heavy burden. Foliage everywhere is heavy. Thus even in a year when the general crop is not too good, many trees are in danger from breakage. Did you ever stop to think, Mr. Grower, that what the loss of one limb means to the crop for a few years? Of course, if the break is not too large, the "hole" fills up gradually, but from three or four to ten years is required to "fill the gap." Seventeen trees to the acre is an average planting. The usual tree carries probably five to seven main branches, say an average of six. This means that there are only about 100 main branches per acre! One branch out means one per cent of the crop-producing power lost, and one per cent less money return. system, the weight of one limb is equally supported by all limbs. The University has published a circular No. 244, on the "Central Wire Bracing of Fruit Trees," which describes the system in detail. This bulletin can be obtained free by writing the local Farm Bureau office. The best time to brace is in the summer while trees are hanging with heavy foliage. The job is a little more difficult then on account of leaves, but the case of finding straining branches and the fact that the trees will not be wired too tightly will make up for the extra labor. If whirling in the winter do not adjust the wire tightly. Get the brace high, and leave a foot or two of slack in the wire so the tree will open up and come down when leaves develop. If this is not done, inside growth will be killed by brazing. When brazing in the summer, raise a limb only a foot or so from where it hangs unless it is in the way of cultivation. By raising it slightly you remove chances of breakage, yet take full advantage of the natural strength of the branch and permit sunlight to enter the tree readily. The equipment necessary includes ladders, lifting poles (a hook on the end is convenient for passing the end of the wire to worker high on a ladder), hammers, pliers, staples, screw eye wire and large iron washers. A rack with one or two reels for wire to carry ladders and tools I convenient and a labor saver. Some idea of the strength of materials needed can be had from the results Did you ever stop to think, Mr. Grower, that what the less of one limb means to the crop for a few years? Of course, if the break is not too large, the "hole" fills up gradually, but from three or four to ten years is required to "fill the gap." Seventeen trees to the acre is an average planting. The usual tree carries probably five to seven main branches, say an average of six. This means that there are only about 100 main branches per acre! One branch out means one per cent of the crop-producing power lost, and one per cent less money return. There are several ways to brace trees with props underneath, with temporary wires or rope and patent hooks or supports to protect the limb, or with permanent wires fastened to screw eyes or staples in the limbs. Props are costly, depreciate rapidly, are in the way of cultivation and irrigation. For a hurry-up emergency job they are often necessary. Temporary wires and lings are all right as long as the weight is continuous, but in a wind or in the fall of the year when leaves drop and branches rise the clamps will get loose or out of place. Also, they have to be installed every year. There is an advantage in using them from the fact that their position on the limb can be regulated every year. On the other hand, it is difficult to get such a clamp high enough to do any good on a big walnut tree. The brace should be well out on the limb so that foliage and nuts don't get too great a leverage beyond the wire. Permanent wire bracing has many features in its favor for protecting trees against breakage. Once installed it is there to stay until trees grow too far beyond the wires. The system is flexible, allowing the tree to live in the fall, or blow in the wind, and the wires stay in place. There is nothing in the way of cultivation. True, the wires interfere somewhat with pruning, but not greatly so, as a temporary limb should rarely be braced. It's a choice between props in the way in summer and wires in the way in winter. Direct wires from line to line can be used. If this is done, however, the strain on any one wire is greater than where a central ring is used. The central ring used as the center of a "spider web" is about the most satisfactory system that can be found. By this The equipment necessary includes ladders, lifting poles (a hook on the end is convenient for passing the end of the wire to worker high on a ladder), hammers, pliers, staplers, screw eye wire and large iron washers. A rack with one or two reels for wire to carry ladders and tools I convenient and a labor saver. Some idea of the strength of materials needed can be had from the results of this test: A heavy 10-inch branch was "lifted" a little and held by wire. Then two men sew on the end of the limb shaking it vigorously while a third read a scale which was hooked up in the wire. The pull was 550 pounds. Without the men the strain was only 425 pounds. This was probably an extreme test. No. 12 galvanized wire will stand 510 pounds pull; No. 10, 750 pounds; No. 9, 1160 pounds. One and one-half inch galvanized wire staples will pull out of a limb at 450 pounds after they have "grown in" while a 2-inch staple driven clear in requires about 600 pounds pull to extract it when grown over. No. "0" unwelded screw eyes open up at about 1300 pounds—they do not pull out of the wood. Heavy iron washers with a three-fourth inch pole will not be broken by any strain created by a walnut tree. No. 9 galvanized wire and No. "0" screw eyes with three-fourth inch iron washers make amply strong material for anything but the heaviest of jobs. For very heavy limbs welded screw eyes with heavier wire bolts and even light chain can be used. There are few cautions which might be mentioned. First, don't climb on a heavily-loaded branch to drive in a staple without first stopping it. Some one may land on the ground with the branch! Next, it is dangerous to wire trees in the winter and make the wires tight. Leave them slack, and leave at least two feet of extra wire to lengthen out the support if necessary. Always get the wire high enough up or far enough out on a limb so that advantage is taken of its natural strength. Don't make the poor wire do it all—let the limb do its share. In driving in staples put them a little diagonal to the grain of the limb. Drive them in tightly after putting the wire in place. Be careful not to hit the wire after you have attached it when driving in the stuples. A weak wire is a danger when it breaks the branch drops and with the momentum of its fall, is almost certain to break. On young trees four to eight years old, lighter equipment can be used because weights are less. Such a job will need to be renewed in five or six years due to the increase in length of the branches. The greater the branch, the more pull on the wires. A job with light wire is only temporary and must be replaced higher in a few years. On large trees wire brazing is not particularly costly. On a place of 100 acres, which required an emergency stop during the summer of 1927 were a permanent wire support for 4.80 per acre, $3.32 for labor, and $1.48 for material. On another large place about the same kind of a job was done during the same summer for $2.88 labor and $1.32 material—a total of $5.29 per acre, 45 per cent interest on this sum equals 41.2 cents. This is just about equal to two pounds of walnuts per acre. These figures are from the Los Angeles County Walnut Cost Survey. Don't let that tree break! It means dollars off the return column at end of the year! Mussels Poisonous In Summer California State Department of Public Health has just issued the following warning: In July, 1927, following the appearance of 102 cases of food poisoning after eating mussels gathered along the California coast, the State Department of Public Health, in cooperation with the Hooper Foundation for Medical Research, began a series of investigations into this type of poisoning which have been carried on almost continuously since that time. While the exact cause of the poisonous condition in these shellfish has not been determined definitely, it is certain that mussels gathered in the midsummer months may be highly poisonous and the general public should be warned against the apparent danger in eating them. ANAHEIM GAZETTE be regarded with suspicion. The investigations have revealed the following facts: (1) The poison is not formed by bacteria nor is it due to any parasite, so far as is known. (2) It is probably the result of a metabolism disease infiltrated by the food and spawning condition of the shellfish. (3) Poisonous mussels cannot be distinguished from other mussels, either by appearance, behavior or cooking. (4) Mussels may become poisonous within a few days and may remain so for several weeks. (6) During the winter months, December to March, the poison disappears only to reappear late in March. Creating Wealth Mining is an industry that reserves wealth. It takes the useless coal from the ground and transforms them into metal and industrial necessities and luxuries. At the present time the great metal mining states are in the midst of a new era in their development. Scientific methods have resulted in greater mining productivity. Wages are high and living and working conditions are the best in mining history. Great industrial projects, such as the building of electric systems, telephone and telegraph lines and electrification of railroads, have created a continuous demand for such metals as copper and zinc. Mining is an indispensable ally of every essential industry. 666 is a Prescription for Colds, Grippe, Flu, Dengue, Bilious Fever and Malaria. It is the most speedy remedy known.
