Forest Fires Cause Losses Great Destruction in Various Counties During Past Year Forest, range and brush fires outside national forest areas in California during 1922 numbered 3,468, covered 951,938 acres, and caused damage amounting to $1,328,001, according to a report by State Forester M. B. Pratt. Orange county suffered $4,560 in damages, with 2,851 acres burned over, the report showed. Of the five fires reported in the county, 3 were caused by smokers, Pratt. Although the total damage was lower by more than $400,000 than the 1928 total, much damage was done inside town areas from range and forest fires, not reported in Pratt's summary, he said. San Mateo and Marin counties were particularly heavy sufferers in this respect, the state forester declared. More than a million dollars damage was done at Mill Valley by the Mt. Tamaplias fire which spread into the town, and Pratt said a heavy loss occurred in San Mateo county from fires spreading to homes there. Smokers are blamed for more than 40 per cent of all the fires reported, the summary showed. Cigarettes, cigars and pipes are directly blamed for 1,279 conflagrations that raged in the state last year. "Our reports showed 3,468 fires in California in 1929," Pratt announced, "but several counties have not reported fully on their losses. These counties have their own fire fighting organization and are not responsible to the state for reports." "Although we are gratified that the total loss has dropped, we feel that the fight is a continual one and we must not be satisfied by merely dropping the total." "Smokers as usual are the chief offenders. Each year we give widespread publicity to this prolific source of fire and it probably does some good. But Improve Quality Is Urged by King "California citrus growers must exert themselves to improve the quality and standardization of their products and further realize that citrus marketing is highly competitive and requires earnest and intelligent cooperation to hold our own in the markets from November to May. During the six months when California dominates the market we can then 'cash in' on our unified efforts," said Dana C. King, orange sales manager of the California Fruit Growers Exchange in an address before the California Citrus Institute, Feb. 18. "If the growers feel that we need competition in the marketing of California's citrus crops, we are in for trouble and lots of it," further stated Mr. King. Mr. King stated that California will face increasing competition in the marketing of its citrus crops from the rapidly increasing production of other sections of the world. I inspeaking of the remedy for this increasing competition, Mr. King said: "Californion's answer to increasing competition should be the solidifying of our own cooperative efforts, and thus improve the distribution of our own crops. This will eliminate unnecessary charges now caused by internal competition in the industry and will make more efficient work with the wholesalers, retailers and consumers and further the interests of California in competition with other sections. "California has an average over every other citrus producing area in that it can supply its customers with trademarked nationally advertised fruit 365 days in the year and has spent great sums of money to convince the consumer of the health giving properties of citrus fruits an dtheir value in balancing the diet. Oranges and lemons have been taken out of the luxury class and been made a daily necessity," said Dana King. "California has cooperated in the distribution of its citrus products all the way from the producer to the consumer, and has recognized that while Powell Sees Continuity Lemon Heavy Receipt Showing In New Lemon situation this year is particular well scattered through which should supply the seasonal demand H.

Pratt announced, "but several counties have not reported fully on their losses. These counties have their own fire fighting organization and are not responsible to the state for reports." "Although we are gratified that the total loss has dropped, we feel that the fight is a continual one and we must not be satisfied by merely dropping the total. "Smokers as usual are the chief offenders. Each year we give widespread publicity to this prolific source of fire and it probably does some good. But until smokers realize the tremendous damage they do through their thoughtlessness our warnings will be of little use. "Figures prove that the careless smokers are the greatest problem facing state efforts to cut down fire losses. Until this can be put across to the public we must be content to take a huge loss each year that will drop in a year of favorable weather and flare up again when conditions are bad." Charles Bickford in "Hell's Heroes" and "Anna Christie" with Greta Garbo at Fox Theatre Three western bad men find themselves custodian of a newborn baby in the midst of the desert. They had promised the dying mother they would take the child safely to the little frontier town of New Jerusalem. Their water supply is low, a frightful trip across the desert confronts them—and the noose awaits them at New Jerusalem if they come through alive. This is the central dramatic situation of Universal's thrilling all dialogue uicure, "Hell's Heroes," which comes to the screen of the Fox theatre Saturday and Sunday, February 22 and 23. Romance, adventure, pathos and humor make "Hell's Heroes" one of the most unusual and distinctive pictures ever brought to the screen. Many of the scenes were taken in the heart of the great Mojave Desert at the height of the blistering summer season. The picture is sensational in its realism. The production has a most notable cast. Charles Bickford, Raymond Hatton and Fred Kohler contribute remarkable characterizations. Fritzi Ridgeway, Maria Alba, Joe de la Cruz, Buck Conners and Walter James also are among those who give exceptional performances. The picture is colorful throughout. Some of the most remarkable scenes were obtained when the company journeyed to the famous "ghost city" of Bodle, Calif., now numbering a mere handful of inhabitants in place of the 11,000 who frequented it in the days of its prime. The picture was directed by William Wyler. It is based on Peter B. Kyne's famous story, "Three Godfathers" and was prepared for the screen by Tom Reed. On the following Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, February 24, 25, 26, Greta Garbo will be heard in "Anna" California has an average over every other citrus producing area in that it can supply its customers with trademarked nationally advertised fruit 365 days in the year and has spent great sums of money to convince the consumer of the health giving properties of citrus fruits an dtheir value in balancing the diet. Oranges and lemons have been taken out of the luxury class and been made a daily necessity," said Dana King. "California has cooperated in the distribution of its citrus products all the way from the producer to the consumer, and has recognized that while it was a permanent producer it could only continue to do so profitably if the wholesaler and retailer were both making money out of handling the product and if the consumer was getting good value," said the Sunkist sales manager. In conclusion, Mr. King reminded his audience of citrus growers that, "The market outlook for citrus fruits depends upon our ability to produce a product that will give us a world preference, and the willingness o four California producers to increase their interest in unified cooperative marketing efforts." Preparing For State Land Show California's "billion dollar" land show, designed to educate the world in California opportunity, gor under way today when ground was broken for the structures that are to house the exhibits during the sixteen-day period beginning March 8. At a luncheon attended by leaders in agriculture, industry, banking and civics, celebration of the event was held under a huge tent on the site of the show at Washington and Hill streets, Los Angeles. The luncheon took on the aspect of a state function when Lieut. Gov. H. L. Carnahan, principal speaker, sounded a keynote for an "all-California" participation in the show, which he predicted would bring home to half a million visitors the fact that the state produces every year soil products valued at three quarters of a billion dollars. "Forty counties already have subscribed to the doctrine just preached by Lieutant Governor Carmahan," President Harold G. Ferguson of the Los Angeles Realty Board, show sponsor, told luncheon guests. "The cooperation undoubtedly will make the show the greatest advertisement of California opportunities ever held." President John G. Austin of the Chamber of Commerce, which is associated with the Realty Board in the underwriting of the show, stressed the value of cooperation among cities and counties that has been shown in the preparation of the impending land show. The cost of the show is estimated at $100,000. This fund has been entirely underwritten by organizations sponsoring the event. More than 100,00 feet of floor space is to be provided for exhibits.

Protection From Deer Constant reports from many parts of the State that deer are causing damage to the crops of agriculturists has caused the Division of Fish and Game of the Department of Natural Resources to appoint Gordon True, a graduate of the University of California, Department of Agriculture, to prosecute an investigation of ways and means to protect the interests of farmers. The work of investigating conditions will be carried on throughout the state and every known devise which will serve to keep deer out of cultivated areas will be tried. A thorough test of all know repellents to wild animals, used in this state and in other states, will be made. According to the announcement of John L. Farley, executive officer of the Division of Fish and Game, True will cooperate with land owners who are faced with serious difficulties growing out of abundance of deer and their activities in relation to farm crops. It is highly probable that some land owners have devised workable schemes to prevent damage and repel the deer. The information acquired by these individuals would be of the greatest benefit to the Division at this time, and any information on the subject should be communicated to the operator in charge, at the San Francisco office, 510 Ituss Building. If the price of wood pulp increases and it is found that our newsprint can be made from cornstalks, maybe in ten years from now the slogan for the farmer will be, "raise more cornstalks and preserve the freedom of the press." ANAHEIM GAZETTE Powell Sees Continued Good Lemon Situation Heavy Receipts of Foreigns Showing Big Losses In New York The lemon situation in California this year is particularly favorable, with a crop of excellent quality and picks well scattered throughout the year which should supply fruit in line with the seasonal demand, according to T. H. Powell, lemon sales manager of the California Fruit Growers Exchange. Although picks for February will be only slightly below the average for the last five years, the storage is still far below the average of recent years. Lemon prices for the first quarter of the 1929-30 season averaged higher than ever before. The market is in a healthy condition with present prices considerably above the usual prevailing prices at this season of the year. California lemon shipments have been below normal for the past several months but are likely to reach normal movement during February, stated Mr. Powell. Receipts of foreign lemans in eastern markets have been very heavy, however, bringing the total supply to about equal that of past years. Recent foreign lemon sales resulted in heavy losses to the importers. For a time this situation reduced shipments to the United States but due to the lack of an adequate demand from European markets and a low by-products market for lemon oil, these heavy shipments will probably continue. The foreign lemon crop is large this year and reported to be of better quality. Sicilian lemons are now being quoted at $2.10 clf New York, which means that they should bring about $3.90 out of the auction. The actual sales of these foreigns, however, are considerably below this figure. The European markets are even lower, ranging from $1.65 to $2.00 in London and from $1.75 to $2.50 in Hamburg, according to recent reports from abroad.

H. Briggs and J. C. Belton, by virtue of the authority vested in them as Trustees, to sell said property or so much thereof as may be necessary California Does Growing Horns This era of freedom for women has seen the usurping of many privileges formerly reserved for men by the members of the fairer sex. Gone is the sanctity of the barbershop the smoking room, and many another province once in the exclusive control of the masculine sex. But when female deer start growing horns, they are no longer considered ladies nor are they entitled to the protection afforded the rest of their sex by the state conservation laws, according to the announcement of the Division of Fish and Game of the Department of Natural Resources. In checking over the deer tags returned to the San Francisco office of the Division of Fish and Game, Captain E. L. Macaulay discovered that B. E. Pugh of Tipton, Tulare County, while hunting near Big Meadows in that county on the morning of October 13th, killed a mule deer. The animal was a female yet possessed symmetrical antlers having about an eleven inch spread. The antlers were perfectly forked on both sides. Additional information secured from Pugh indicated that the deer had every appearance of being a buck at the time when it was killed. Captain Macaulay declared that if does insisted upon freedom for their sex to the extent of growing antlers, they would have to take their chances of being shot during the open season for bucks. Vital Statistics Each married couple in California can expect a family of 1.4 children, according to the state bureau of vital statistics. This fractional family is the average procured by the bureau after studying birth and marriage records for the past 24 years. Since 1906 births have reached an approximate total of 1,300,000, deaths 1,100,000, and marriages 925,000.
