State Death Rate Lower Last Year Anaheim Shows Increase in Births During the Past Twelve Months Year by year, California is becoming a healthier place in which to live. In support of this statement, Dr. Walter M. Dickle, director of the state department of public health, has disclosed that last year the death rate in the Golden State dropped from 15.2 to 14.7 per 1000 estimated population. Total deaths for the year in the state was 65,363, as compared to 66,249 in 1928. Every county in California, with the exception of Alpine, which has had only 15 deaths in the last 10 years, recorded deaths, and in the majority the number of births far exceeded deaths. In Anaheim the table showed a total of 118 deaths, an excess of 37 births over deaths. The lowest rate ever recorded for deaths in this state was in 1921, when the rate was 13.2 per 1,000 population. The highest rate during the decade was in 1928, of 15.2. A sharp outbreak of influenza in the latter part of the year, with 2,100 deaths was responsible for the high rate. The epidemic extended into the early part of 1929, causing 1,100 deaths. "In the few localities showing more deaths than births, specific factors were responsible for the excess in mortality," said Dr. Dickle. "Among these factors are: Presence in the community of state hospitals, prisons, county hospitals, homes for the aged, tuberculosis hospitals and other institutions where the aged and sick are cared for." "It is also possible that the recent nationwide movement of population from the country to the cities is reflected in the excess of deaths over births in the rural districts. This is notable, particularly in the mountain counties where relatively few births are recorded, and where the older individuals among the population are dying each year, in greater numbers." Cover Crops are Competitor S New Farm Bureau's Part In State Land Show Recognizing the importance of organized agriculture, in State land conditions, the directors of the annual California Land Show, being held in Los Angeles during the week of March 10th, have turned over an entire day of the exhibition to Farm Bureau activities. Saturday, March 15, is Farm Bureau Day. The California Farm Bureau Federation has been asked to take charge of the program, and in cooperation with the Extension Service of the College of Agriculture, reflect some of the interesting activities of Farm Bureau in its statewide development of farm improvement. The purpose of the Farm Bureau Community Centers, of which there are over 500 in California, an dthe functions of the County Farm Bureau will be explained, and the general educational program of Extension Service and the Farm Bureau will be described. The activities of farm women in the Farm Bureau will be described. The activities of farm women in the Farm Home Department, an dthe results secured through the 1100 boys' 4-H Clubs of the State will also be part of the day's program. The State Federation will discuss its service departments, its results in Tax Research, an dthe accomplishments of the Law and Utilities Department program. The Extension Service will picture the development of the boys' 4-H Club work, the results of the Cowtesting Association, and exhibit charts reflecting the value of the cost of production studies for various crops. Prominent state leaders in agricultural organization will include Von T. Ellsworth, J. J. Deuel, and Alex Johnson of the California Farm Bureau Federation; Mrs. N. Metzen of Escinilde, and Mrs. A. Sager of San Diego County, prominent in Farm Home work; and Farm Advisors of Orange, Los Angeles, San Bernardino and Riverside Counties. Farm Advisor Harold E.

Cover Crops are CompetitorS Now By HAROLD E. WAHLBERG Farm Advisor, Orange County After March 1st, under ordinary conditions, a cover crop in the mature citrus orchard is a serious competitor for plant foods and moisture. It should be discarded or plowed. Any growth that is made after the first week in March is made at the expense of robbing available fertilizer elements from the feeder roots of the citrus tree. In case of walnuts the competition is not so marked because of the deeper rooting habit of the walnut roots. However, the competition is in proportion to the number of walnut roots that are growing in the upper foot or so of soil. If the soil is comparatively shallow, the proportion of surface roots is greater than where the trees are growing on deep loam soils that are more typical of walnut plantings. Sometimes a delay in turning the cover crop under is justified when the ground is too wet, due to rains at that season of the year. Working wet ground, particularly if that ground is of the medium or heavy types, is farfetth from the standpoint of creating a plow sole. It packs the soil. As soon as the ground is dry enough, the vegetation should be converted to green manuring by turning it under. Under favorable conditions plowing under a large amount of green material may increase the number of bacteria as much as ten times within two days, according to soil bacteriologists. In four days there may be fifteen to twenty-five times the original number of bacteria in the decomposing material and adhering soil. After about seven days the bacteria decrease in number almost as rapidly as they increased. No change in the number of bacteria takes place in the soil one-half inch away from the decomposing material. Bacterial discomposition of green manure gives rise to carbon dioxide and ammonia. The carbon dioxide escapes from the soil into the air; the ammonia is absorbed by the soil and, through the action of bacteria, is first changed to nitrite and then to nitrate. The greater the percentage of nitrogen in the green manure, other conditions being equal, the more nitrate will be forced from its decomposition. When crops low in nitrogen, such as barley, rye or other grains, are turned under very little benefit will result for the following crop, since the amount of nitrogen bound up by the bacteria in decomposition may be greater than that obtained from the grains. Eventually this soil of the California Farm Bureau Federation; Mrs. N. Metzen of Esciclidade, and Mrs. A.

Wahlberg is scheduled to discuss the "Present Status and Outlook for the Citrus Industry in California." Closing Date for Sunkist Membership Seventeen Orange County Sunkist Citrus Associations, affiliated with the California Fruit Growers Exchange, will close their books to new members April 1 for the current Valencia season. It was announced today by Dale R. King, Manager of the Northern Orange County Citrus Exchange. Eight of the Sunkist Associations are in the local Exchange district, these being Anaheim Citrus, Anaheim Orange and Lemon, Bradford Brothers Inc., Fullerton Mutual Orange, La Habra Citrus, Placentia Mutual, Placentia Orange Growers, and the Yorba Linda Citrus. The other nine Sunkist Associations are in the Orange County Fruit Exchange and are the Irvine Valencia Growers, Olive Heights Citrus, Santiago Orange Growers, Tustin Hills Citrus, Villa Park Orchards, Golden West Citrus, Garden Grove Citrus, Frances Citrus, and the Consolidated Orange Growers. The closing date for accepting new members on April 1 is the same as in past years, according to King, who said Associations are not accepting members during the marketing season from April 1 to October 31. "New owners of groves, however, are eligible for membership at any time," said King. The co-operative marketing plan of the California Fruit Growers Exchange has proved so successful in the citrus industry that it has been adopted as a model by the Federal Farm Board in establishing co-operative marketing organizations in other lines of agriculture. Orchard Heating Bulletin Revised Frost Protection in California Orchards, published as Circular 40 of the University of California Agricultural Extension Service, just off the press, discusses all phases of the subject of protection of fruit and trees from cold. The circular is written by Warren Schoonover, Extension Specialist in Citriculture; Prof. R. W. Hodgson, of the Division of Subtropical Horticulture; and Floyd D. Young, Senior Meteorologist in the United States Weather Bureau. The circular may be obtained free from the Farm Advisor's office, 606 W. Main Street, Santa Ana. "The question of when or under what conditions it becomes advisable for the grower to install orchard heating equipment is difficult if not impossible to answer satisfactorily," the circular says."Since there are so many variable factors here at Phil Kappa for having grades at California to other number honor is accidental at each name appear many of them thus recognize numbered 2 gained 1.88 scored high doing good."

The carbon dioxide escapes from the soil into the air; the ammonia is absorbed by the soil and, through the action of bacteria, is first changed to nitrite and then to nitrate. The greater the percentage of nitrogen in the green manure, other conditions being equal, the more nitrate will be forced from its decomposition. When crops low in nitrogen, such as barley, rye or other grains, are turned under very little benefit will result for the following crop, since the amount of nitrogen bound up by the bacteria in decomposition may be greater than that obtained from the grains. Eventually this nitrogen is changed to nitrate, perhaps too late for the benefit of the crop. Decomposition of green manure is greatly influenced by the temperature and moisture of the soil. Most soil to 700fen-urlute JS8 bacteria require a temperature of 65 degrees F., or often higher, for rapid activity. Under favorable conditions succulent green manure is usually decomposed in about seven days. It has been known for many years that growing a cover crop and plowing it under as a green manure improves the physical character of the soil, increases its capacity to hold water, and helps to prevent croslon. When at the proper time and turned under before the tree roots come into full activity, the cover crop is a benefit. Otherwise it may be a detriment. The grower should keep in mind the tree must receive first consideration; the cover crop is secondary. Some growers overlook this and try to mature the cover crop late in the season, at the expense of the tree. Trees for Windbreaks Antelope Valley, in Southern California, is to have 10,000 trees planted by settlers there who will receive the trees from the state. The project is planned to provide windbreaks in the valley and for beautifying purposes. The first group of seedlings which will be distributed to the farmers has already been planted in a nursery on the high school grounds Sentence Suspended Justice of the Peace M. Dimmick of Ventura county, who recently found a contractor guilty of working men in a ditch more than seven feet deep without bracing the side walls, was heartily praised by Will J. Frnech, director of industrial relations, in a recent report to Governor Young. The offender was given a sentence of 30 days in jail, which was suspended upon request of the industrial accident commission's representative. at Lancaster. Seedlings provided are from the state nursery, which supplies shrubs and trees to anyone who wishes to purchase them. ANAHEIM GAZETTE Music Draws Fan Interest To ‘Rio Rita’ The voice that has been the talk of Hollywood this season will be heard from the screen of the Fox Theatre Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. It belongs to Bebe Daniels and will be heard singing the songs of “Rio Rita,” the Radio Picture operetta sensation. In all the revolutions and surprises talking pictures have brought into the film industry, nothing has created more of a sensation than the “discovery” of the remarkable singing voice possessed by this favorite o f the silent screen. Opposite Bebe in the film version of Flo Ziegfeld’s most famous musical show will be seen John Boles, erstwhile favorite of the musical comedy stage, and the tenor most in demand in talking pictures. The cast which has transferred the Broadway hit to the sound screen is a large one and includes many favorites of both stage and screen. Bert Wheeler and Robert Woolsey will be seen in the comedy roles they created in the stage version of “Rio Rita.” Dorothy Lee, the baby-talk comedienne of “Syncopation”; Helen Kulser, one of Ziegfeld’s “glorified” girls; Georges Renavent, French stage star; Don Alvarado and Nick de Ruiz, former tenor o f the Metropolitan Grand Opera Company, are others in the large featured cast.

This honor is accorded the high point student at each semester and the local lad’s name appears in the list along with many of the members who had been thus recognized in the past. His points numbered 2.13. The next highest man gained 1.88 points. Bob Jensen also scored high, showing that he has been doing good work at school.

Sterilizing Insane Sterilization work in California state hospitals on insane and feeble-minded is continuing, according to Earl E. Jensen, state director of institutions. Rumors that the work has been retarded were denied by Jensen, who said that 1,700 operations have been performed during the past two years with 188 awaiting the operation. Since the sterilization law became operative in 1917 a total of 6,841 operations have been performed, Jensen said. Honey Plentiful able for California this year, the state department of agriculture announced. There will be plenty of honey avail- after several weeks of doubt as to out-come of the crop. For a time it appeared that the long dry spell last fall would ruin prospects for 1930, but copious rains have chang- ed the aspect, and all is well again. Pussywillow and mountain manzanita are starting to bloom and with unfold- ing if thousands of acres of buds on fruit trees the season will soon be in full swing.

Adele and Emily St. Rev. Charles E. Malmann, Rector Brownnettes Outnumber All Other Girls Forty-seven per cent of the girls and women of the United States are neither blondes nor redheads! This was revealed recently by Max Factor, make-up authority for Hollywood's screen celebrities when he shipped a carload of cosmetics over the Union Pacific to New York. This is the way Factor explained the novel shipment: "These girls and women are of that hitherto unclassified group, whose hair is one of the many various shades of brown, whose eyes are gray or blue, and whose skin is approximately white. They outnumbered the red-heads nearly eight to one. They are nearly two and one half times as numerous as blondes, and there are a third more of them than there are brunettes." Factor calls them "Brownnettes." The makeup wizard continuing his startling disclosure said. "These girls have resorted to various means of changing their appearance. The resulting effect frequently is grotesque. It is not unusual for a natural brownette to become a readhead on Tuesday and, discovering her error, to change to a blonde on Wednesday. "Their inferiority complexes frequently drive brownnettes to peroxide and desperation. They should realize they are at their best in their natural tints. Let them rally to their colors," he emphasized. New York, or rather its girls and women, seem to believe him for at least the carload shipment that isnow on its way to New York in a specially constructed Union Pacific refrigerator car contains almost as much cosmetics designed for brownnettes as it does for blondes and brunettes combined. A few outstanding specimens of brownnettes among the movie stars are Mary Brian, Betty Bronson and Lois Wilson. Among the blondes are Laura LaPlante, Jeanette Loff and Thelma Todd. Among the brunettes are Lena Malena, Lupe Velez and Sue Carol, Factor pointed out. Saint Michael's Episcopal Church E. Adele and Emily St. Rev. Charles E. Malmann, Rector More Attorneys May Be Needed State Agricultural Society May Ask for Legal Advisor If the California state legislature continues imposing regulatory duties on the state department of agriculture a departmental attorney will be a necassity in the opinion of Director George H. Hecke. At present two agencies in the department have attorneys—the division of weights and measures and the branch of the division of markets enforcing the deciduous fruit dealers and produce dealers act. Hecke's ultimate solution of the plan, he said, calls for one attorney who will be able to handle all of the 40 or 50 laws enforced by the department. "Enforcement o fthe two acts mentioned has been proceeding vigorously and with decided results," Hecke declared. Problems encountered in the work were materially clarified by a discussion held during the last session of the state board of agriculture. Allegations that the department was acting merely as collection agency in enforcement of the dealers' acts were considered and the board concluded that the acts are only being enforced to the limit required by the legislature. The produce dealers act vest decision to prosecute entirely in district attorneys. Hecke said. Difficulty has been found in establishing fraud in such cases, and once established, it is difficult to secure prosecution or convictions by juries, he said. An advantage has been found, however, in merely having the act on the books. Hecke believes. He stated it was impossible to estimate the number of fly-by-night dealers who have been checked ni illegal and dishonest operations by bhy mere fact this act is on the books and being enforced. "Two recent cases illustrate necessity for tempering agricultural regulation enforcement with judgment," Hecke said. One dealt with mislabeling grapefruit.

A defendant, well established as a produce dealer in Los Angeles was arrested on a warrant sworn to by a department representative, thrown into jail by police, finger printed and submitted to indignities like a felon, where he was charged with infraction of a law classed as a misdemeanor. Obviously the department not only does not approve of such procedure, but vigorously protests it. We have arranged so that such an occurrence cannot happen again."
