Agricul Lawyer Farrand On Monday of last week, Lawyer George E. Farrand of the Los Angeles law firm of Farrand and Slosson, took up duties at Washington as General Counsel of the Farm Federal Board. He is one of the list of men called by President Hoover to serve the nation at considerable personal sacrifice. Said the Board: "We feel particularly fortunate in obtaining Mr. Farrand's services; he is recognized as an eminent and outstanding lawyer in the United States, particularly in understanding co-operative law." Farrand said the Board had an interesting situation to handle. The manner in which problems were decided would establish precedents of utmost importance. To him would fall the burden of interpreting correctly, and as liberally as possible, the legal limits of the Board's activities. He would first learn the Farm Relief Act by heart. Alighting at Washington from a morning train, Farrand lost no time. He went directly to the Farm Board headquarters, reported for duty, joined the Board in its morning conference. C. C. Teague of Santa Paula, also a Board member and Farrand's friend, introduced him. Newspaper correspondents asked how he could afford to leave his private law practice. He said: "I have an abidement than he, he said. The Kansas State Soccer his host at the Veteran Los Angeles. There he s fellow Kansans; danced wi He would first learn the Farm Relief Act by heart. Alighting at Washington from a morning train, Farrand lost no time. He went directly to the Farm Board headquarters, reported for duty, joined the Board in its morning conference. C. C. Teague of Santa Paula, also a Board member and Farrand's friend, introduced him. Newspaper correspondents asked how he could afford to leave his private law practice. He said: "I have an abiding interest in America agriculture. That's the whole story." Farming has never been more than a hobby in the life of Lawyer Farrand. Much time in twenty years he devoted to it. Raised on a Santa Paula farm, he later owned his own farming interests, learned agricultural problems; began by raising lima beans, later organized lima bean growers into a co-operative body, Citrus fruits, walnuts, raisins and milk soon were added to his interest. And all the time he was preparing to be a lawyer. With his hobby he mixed law, and became involved in more co-operative schemes. Later he became counsellor for the California Fruit Growers Exchange, assisted the Bean Growers' Association, the Walnut Growers' the Milk Producers in 1910-12; he reorganized the raisin co-operative in 1923, represented their banking interests. In 1899 Farrand had come from Pennsylvania, and in 1900 he was appointed County Clerk of Ventura County. He held this position until 1907. Such a hobby as farming allows no golf or athletics. But educational work found a place in Farrand's appointment book. He has his own two boys. The Stanford School of Business received his aid in its organization; the Thatcher School for Boys in Ojai Valley claims him as a trustee. Banking too received his services; the Security-First National Bank of Los Angeles made him director and executive committee member. Capper Probes A tired senator of the United States came last fortnight to Southern California, to Los Angeles, for a rest. But visitors to California seldom rest. And Senator Arthur Capper of Kansas was no exception. Invitations to entertainments, banquets, picnics and other amusements poured in. Relief for Grapes Reliable information here week indicated that the Farm Board was about to nounce a loan to California growers. It had spent days considering the grape try here. Representative industry had shown the factorily how far and in what the grape industry showed the half billion Federal relief for agriculture, it was that. The California Grape were the first agriculture in the country to organize bilization corporation and board so as to take advantage of the Federal Farm Relief And the grape industry he was the only one in which indicated a desire for Citrus and walnut growers made no move to get at the funds. C. C. Teague,nia member of the Farm said the members of the California Growers and Walnciation, of which he was pere not in need of relief the relief act provisions. The "grape" loan is the granted by the board since organized. Florida received 000 first for aid in the Mnean Fruit Fly crisis.

But visitors to California seldom rest. And Senator Arthur Capper of Kansas was no exception. Invitations to entertainments, banquets, picnics and other amusements poured in. Interviewers asked questions. Soon the Senator was busy investigating Southern California's fruit and produce market, its structure. Accompanying him were representatives of fruit co-operative marketing companies. He was amazed at the diversity of agricultural products in the State and the apparent efficiency with which they are distributed nationally. Further development of co-operative distribution, said he, might form a basis for action by the Federal Farm Board. Later, at a luncheon given for him at the Biltmore Hotel by the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce, he praised the new Farm Relief Bill, said through its psychological values it was already helping the farmer. The new legislation would help the farmer help himself. The same plan had been in use in California for ten years—the co-operative movement. He gave specific credit for the brightest agricultural prospect in years to two Californians, President Hoover and C. C. Teague, and to the co-operative association idea developed in this State. President Hoover had done a wise thing in drafting Teague for no man knew more about the co-operative move. Co-ops Unite The California Prune Association nounced last week that it included negotiations where would handle exclusively, products of the Peach Growers Association. O. A. Harlan of San Jorgeeral manager of the prunicot body said it was proper step, equally advantageous parties; a saving of over penses would result. The apricot people would compensed, in return, for being by a brokerage charge. The agreement was no longer merely an agreement by one co-operative agent as a sales agent for her. Both organizations main intact; both will do processing.

New permanent buildings are planned. A $200,000 edifice is now under construction, financed by the county. Nine more following it will help make a great permanent location for the exposition. Orange Distribution In every world port ships laden with California fruit will be found this winter. World-wide markets, modern refrigeration systems, numerous and fast ships, all contribute in a universal distribution of California's citrus products. Last week started the monthly refrigerated service of the Oceanic and Orient Line to South China. Laden with oranges, the Golden Dragon steamed out of San Pedro Saturday. Three more ships will follow it. Express service to New York began last fortnight when Panama-Pacific's Virginia carried away 14,000 boxes of Valencia oranges under refrigeration.

Express service to New York began last fortnight when Panama-Pacific's Virginia carried away 14,000 boxes of Valencia oranges under refrigeration. Refrigeration space on the company's ships is booked solid for two months. To the United Kingdom and North Europe go over 1,100,000 boxes of citrus fruits this season. Combined service of the Royal Mail and Holland American lines guarantees this. "Europe in the past years has become so fond of California oranges that we are prepared for a material increase in 1930," said C. J. Lehman, district manager. In United States, Upland's lemons have advanced in favor. Great quantities are being used. The prices are much higher. Some of his lemons sold for fifteen dollars a box in the open market, said Earl Johnson, Mountain View Fruit Association manager. From Brawley last month went 20,000 cars of melons to points east. Cantaloupes are still being harvested. Valencia oranges, shipped from Southern California in July, to all amounts, amounted to 5848 carloads, over 2000 more than a year ago. Orange County and Los Angeles County during July led all Southern California in shipments. Reports from the Orange County Fruit Exchange show that most of the exports to Europe will come from there. The County expects to ship 1,000,000 cases of Valencias Europewards according to L. D. Palmer of the Orange County Exchange. Shipping will go on well into October, he said. Other countries have imported Orange County fruit. Honolulu, New Zealand. China and Japan have all been recipients. From California (Nov. 1, 1928, to Aug. 1, 1929) total shipments have amounted to 56,223 carloads an advance over the year before of almost 20,000. This was more than 20,000 carloads over Florida's output. Countrywide advertising campaigns advising the public to eat oranges and drink orange juice have brought about the heavy consumption. California's Fruit Growers Exchange reports vast sums of money sent in this direction. Also they have spent money in arranging in controlling the mother said.

He tried raising most types of berries but finds the Youngberry "tops all," both in flavor and point production. His crop from one and a half acres is always a hit one. Before raising Youngbery this Sunland farmer specializes tomatoes. Before that he rails Valencias. But the Youngberry says, has come to stay and tends to specialize in that crop.

At the first report of the neighborliness of the Mediterr­ anean fruit fly, inspectors were placed at all points of entry into California, searched autom biles, boarded trains, squeezed and cut open passengers' fruit. Passengers were chagrined. In peaches, state inspectors found, interceted Oriental fruit moths, proved the possibility of their introduction into California. A letter to Senior Entomologist Mackie of the Dept. of Agriculture, from Georgia, pointed out the seriousness of the danger of Oriental fruit moth infestation. Georgia's State Entomologist Yeomans said one man had lost 17 cars of peaches out of a good yield of 200 acres. The future of the peach crop in Georgia depended upon suc- Many Tested Poultry raisers of California think well of the Poultry Pathogical Laboratory at Los Angles.

At Imperial, Water The problem of water for in­fusion purposes, always a poten­tion in Southern California, has solved for arid Imperial W this season. Reports from Centro by M. J. Dowd, engraved for the Imperial Irrigation n trict, says heavy rains on the slopes of the Rocky Mountains have increased the discharge the Colorado River at Rocky very considerably to 50,000 feet. This assures he V plenty of irrigation water for remainder of the season. In the past, it has been re­sary to install a temporary and divert the entire stream flow of the river into the valley during August. This year, thought Dowd, it might not be necessary to do this. If they did not have to use the dam, the $27,000 cost of construction would be saved. The Valley now uses 6000 feet of water. At Glendora, the Covina Irrigating Company searched for water by drilling. They were skeptical about finding any at the drilling location at Foothill Boulevard and Grand Avenue. But last week, at 684 feet, fifteen feet of water was revealed. It is being pumped out and diverted into a concrete-covered ditch. Water development had been at a standstill in this district before the well was found. Perry Bashore, working for the Covina company, had toiled on under a constant fire of criticism. People thought the well a "duster." Ranchers are now assured of water for some time.

Capitalized at $25,000, the new organization has purchased land, is buying equipment to handle olives raised by its members. Storage tanks and a warehouse will be first erected, other equipment being added as the need arises. Feijoa Many people could not identify a feijoa, or a sapota, or even a cherimoya if they suddenly were asked to. These fruits will be on exhibit at the California Diamond Jubilee Fair and Western Exhibition at Sacramento, on August 31. They will be included in the exhibit of rare fruits. And along with them will be mangoes, medlars, loquats, guavas, pineapples and bananas, all of them grown in California. Puncture Vines Punctures were prevalent along the highways of San Fernando Valley in the early part of this summer. But the County Horticultural Department divined the cause, searched for and found Puncture Vines growing at the roadsides, exterminated them by extensive spraying.
