Why Valencia Groves Profitable Lloyd Hurlburt, Specialist On Values, Gives Reasons We of Orange county feel that we have about the best citrus groves in the state and have as good if not better values to offer than any other section of our citrus growing area, notwithstanding the fact that higher prices are commanded for acreage here. Prices of citrus land and planted groves vary a great deal in the various fruit-growing sections, and even in any given small area, you will find good values and profitable groves in all of the various sections throughout the state, and you may find a great many poor values in these same sections. However, if one is really looking for sound and profitable values in a grove, I feel that he can obtain just as good and perhaps a more dependable income over a period of years in our local country groves than anywhere else, as the same reasons that made our returns and values greater per acre in the past are the same that will make our future a prosperous one for our better kept groves. To prove my statements I am offering the following reasons: Our coast climate is a better one than the dry interior districts for the valencia orange. Here the valencia reaches perfection, holding its color and flavor and firmness over a greater length of time, thereby adding in a financial way, as it gives one a better range of the market. The quality of the valencia orange is better when grown near the coast and will bring from 10 per cent to 20 per cent more in returns as the eastern buyers are willing to pay a premium for Orange county valencias because of the flavor, color and keeping qualities. The area with climate suitable for "perfection" production is somewhat limited by the shortage of water, I do not mean that we haven't enough water to take care of our present grove plantings, but we certainly could not increase our present planted area very much without actually being somewhat short of water in the near future. For that injure our fruit. It is true we do suffer a slight loss in certain localities from frost, but it does not occur often or do much damage to our groves as a whole. We are better situated in regards to freezing than the interior counties of the state, and we do not have to spend a large sum of money for frost equipment, oil and labor to protect our crops as a great many other localities do. This is quite an appreciable saving to us and materially helps our net returns. Whenever a hard freeze does visit the state and wipes out the crops of some of the less fortunate districts, it causes a shortage of fruit, resulting in higher prices for our own oranges, their loss and our gain usually. There are many other minor reasons for owning a good Orange county valencia grove, but the principal ones have been covered. If you have a desire to own a grove and are considering purchasing one, just stop and analyze the reason why values are a little higher here in our own county, and you will have to admit that the reason is greater net returns on the money invested, based on yearly average income. I can sincerely recommend as a profitable investment a good Orange county valencia grove, provided you have the desire and means to take proper care of it after you have purchased it at a reasonable price. The future for the valencia does look good to me as I have outlined above, and one thing that is certain, orange growing will not be overdone as other lines of farming and most business lines today. TROJAN STAR Frank Smith, forward, is the second Trojan basketball player to pass the 100-mark in scoring this season, his shooting in the Southern California game last Friday having brought his present total up to 103. Smith with seven points was the high scoring man in this game which was featured by close guarding and little shooting. Jack Gardner, forward, still leads the Trojan scoring for the season with 116 points. Smith is second with 103. Bill Pierce, forward, is third with 72; Captain John Lehners, guard, is fourth with 53; and Wilbur Caldwell, guard, is fifth with 47.

The area with climate suitable for "perfection" production is somewhat limited by the shortage of water, I do not mean that we haven't enough water to take care of our present grove plantings, but we certainly could not increase our present planted area very much without actually being somewhat short of water in the near future. For that reason we do not expect an overproduction of fruit and can reasonably expect a good return over a period of years for our better grades of fruit. It behooves us to take better care of our groves so that we can produce better fruit and more of it, thereby cutting down our production cost and increasing our net return which is the thing of real importance. I do not believe that we need worry about the future marketing conditions regarding the valencia orange because the per capita consumption at the present is not very large and the splendid advertising campaign carried on by the California Fruit Growers exchange is gradually increasing the use of our citrus fruits each year, and as time goes on the increase of population and the increased per capita consumption of our delicious summer orange will create a much greater demand for our fruit resulting in better returns.

LOCATING OIL John Klemm, of Stanton, claims he has at last perfected an instrument that will locate oil. In proof of his assertion, Klemm has a record of actual tests made with his locator and odometer, in locating producing wells. In none of these trials, he insists, has the instrument failed to prove its potential worth. Recently Klem made a test on two wells, he says, at Richfield and Signal Hill. One he reported to be a "dry hole." The other, he said, indicated a production of 500 barrels. Final completion o f the wells confirmed his predictions, he declares. Sir Esme Howard says that the war game was never worth the cost. Exactly so. But if the other follow leads trumps and you haven't any of your own, you're liable to be in bad shape before the game is over.

For the state has 150 vocational agricultural departments in its high schools, everyone of which is preparing students to carry on agricultural work in the latest scientific manner. Orange county received $121 from state and federal funds for these departments last year, according to figures compiled by the state department of education. A total of $382,818.36 was spent in California for this work during the past school year. In 1920 there were less than 25 high school agriculture departments in California. Today 150 departments, manned by an average of 2.4 agriculture teachers per school, have an average enrollment in each department of 33 students. Closely allied with this education is the Future Farmers of America organization, designed to have high school agriculture students take their knowledge home with them and put it into practical use. When school closes each day these students go home to their farms, ready to work on their projects, details of which they study in school. A profit of $301,277.06 was reported for the last school year, earned by the boys from their own efforts. Every conceivable phase of agriculture is taken b y the boys as projects. They may raise a litter of hogs, plant an acre of corn, or conduct cowtesting, farm and labor management. Each project is under the supervision of the boy's instructor, who aids his student in getting the maximum profit from the venture. "It is impossible for one to observe activities of students of vocational agriculture without a definite feeling that from this group will come a type of agricultural leadership different from that of the past," declared Julian McLlhee chief of the bureau of agriculture. Trojans and Cards Meet at Palo Alto Two Teams to Battle on Stanford Grounds, Saturday Fighting to remain on top of the southern division standings of the Pacific Coast Conference, University of Southern California's basketball team will go to Palo Alto this week-end to meet the Stanford University five in the third and deciding game of the Trojan-Card series. If the S. C. men defeat Stanford Saturday, the worst they can get out of the league race at the end of the week is a tie for first with U. C. L. A., and the Bruins must take two straight from California to get this tie providing S. C. wins. Fans of this part of the state are rather in hopes that the southern teams will come out on top this week-end and make it an all-southland finish with Southern California and U. C. L. A. deciding the championship of the conference southern division in their games February 15 and 22. Although the Trojans have the jump on the Bruins in their series by their contests on an even basis should they both win their games this week-end and leave up to the coming battles of their "city championship" series to decide the southern division title. Stanford in splitting two games over the past week-end with U. C. L. A. showed that it is a team always to be greatly feared despite the fact that it is now out of the championship race. The Cards overcame a huge lead to beat the Bruins last Friday and on the following night lost out by a close score. Coach Husky Hunt's Palo Altoans have already taken one game from Coach Sam Barry's Trojans, and although the S. C. basketeteers quickly came back to even the series there is little reason to give the Southern Californians much of an edge in this week's game, especially in view of the many basketball upsets that the season has produced to date. While Coach Barry is a nappy man this week because of the Trojan victory over California last Friday that gave Southern California a S. C. Cal.

"It is impossible for one to observe activities of students of vocational agriculture without a definite feeling that from this group will come a type of agricultural leadership different from that of the past," declared Julian McPhee, chief of the bureau of agricultural education in the state department, in charge of the work. "They are gaining an intimate and practical knowledge not only of agriculture, but of the underlying forces on which it is built when they enter in active management of farms, seed plots and gardens. They earn while they learn. They then go back to the farms, equipped not only with the fundamentals of modern agricultural practice, but also with training in leadership and a vision of the profession's dignity." Visiting naval delegations calling on King George the other day were delayed because a traffic cop gave a baby carriage crossing the street the right way over the Japanese delegation. Which shows the effect of woman's suffrage in Great Britain. Some men will not be satisfied until wives are like automobiles and they can trade the old one in every year or so on a new model. While Coach Barry is a nappy man this week because of the Trojan victory over California last Friday that gave Southern California the S. C.-Cal. series and put the local boys at the top of the league standings, he is not allowing his cagers to rest on their laurels but is increasing the tempo of his daily practices in an endeavor to get the Trojans to break faster and get more accuracy out of hurried shots. Close guarding kept the score down for both teams when Southern California beat the Bears, but despite the fact that the Berkeley men were able to smother many Trojan shots, Barry believes that his team should have made many more points than it did. Although he shot the winning basket against California, Jesse Mortenson is not yet returned to his old shooting form because of a shoulder injury received in football, and Barry is working particularly hard on the big Trojan center to get him back in the bucket making form that brought him All-Coast honors in 1928 and 23.
