IN THE DAYS OF Extracts From Files of The Gazette Issued Half a Century and a Quarter of Authentic History in Print of the Daily Doings of the Citizens of Anaheim and 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK JUNE 19, 1880 In the fulfillment of our duties as Census Enumerators, we have visited a great many farms during the week, and as a result of our observations we can unhesitatingly assert that the crops in this part of the county will not suffer by comparison with those of the northern counties. The hay crop is quite abundant and of excellent quality, corn is promising well and the barley crop is fair. The wheat crop is coming out strong as Mark Tapley would say. Much has been said and written of late adverse to Odessa wheat, and as the Gazette stood sponsor for that variety it gives us great pleasure to quote the opinions of various farmers concerning it. They all agree that the Odessa wheat should be planted in November or the latter part of December at the latest. Messrs. Edward and David Evey expect to get fifteen bushels per acre from a field which a few weeks ago they thought not worth harvesting. B. F. E. Kellogg expects to get twenty bushels to the acre. G. G. Greeley from ten to fifteen and so on. Thomas Dunn has nine acres of Sonora wheat that will certainly yield twenty sacks to the acre, and J. C. Hill of Centralia has a field of Odessa wheat (early-sown) that is estimated will give 60 bushels to the acre. There is now in our office a magnificent bunch of wheat sown by S. L. King of Garden Grove. It was sown on Nov. 16 and the field from which it was cut will yield twenty-five centals to the acre. Only twenty pounds of seed to the acre was used in planting. All the vineyards in Anaheim and vicinity are in admirable condition and a bountiful crop of lucious grapes is almost assured. Nothing responds more gratefully to care and cultivation than the noble vine, and the exceeding attention paid to the vineyards this season is evidenced by the wealth of bloom and foliage which engarlands each trunk. The first social of Anaheim Lodge, No. 85 A. O. U. W. was given on Monday evening and was more successful and seemed to give greater pleasure to the guests than the most sanguine member of the Lodge had dared to hope.

U. W. was given on Monday evening and was more successful and seemed to give greater pleasure to the guests than the most sanguine member of the Lodge had dared to hope. The hall is not of capacity to hold everyone whom the members would like to see there and the guests, therefore, comprised only the members and their relatives, together with several ladies and gentlemen who had generously consented to assist in the musical exercises of the evening. After the regular business of the lodge had been disposed of the doors were thrown open and in a few minutes the hall was completely filled. The guests were welcomed by Master Workman Sorenson. A song by the glee club under the leadership of Dr. E. L. Cowan followed the address. Mr. Grimshaw rea "Horatious at the Bridge," and Mrs. Bessie Lawrence and J. Hartung gave a duet. Mr. J. D. Bicknel of Los Angeles then was introduced as the speaker of the evening and gave an elaborate address on the subject, "Secret Societies and their Symbols." A short address by G. C. Hall was followed by a guitar solo by Prof. Finch, after which the audience adjourned to the spacious hall below stairs where a most bounteous an delegant supper was served. After supper there was more music and at the witching hour of midnight the good night song was sung by the members and the audience dispersed. A Republican club has been organized in Los Angeles and among the officers is Mr. John Fischer, who is assistant secretary. Mr. Fischer is reported in the newspapers as saying that he had been led astray last year after false gods and had joined the New Constitutional Party, but that he proposes doing double duty for the Republican party this year to make amends for it. The following is an extract from a private letter received from a friend in Tucson A. F.: "I find the camp very much overrated, but it is the opinion of experts that it is the best in this section. There are about ten men to every job. Wages are three dollars per day. Mechanics, such as carpenters, plasterers, brick masons are the only ones in demand. They get six dollars per day. Board, nine dollars per week, and sleep where you can. At the meeting of the Board of Directors of the Anaheim Water company held last Saturday, an assessment of $1.00 per share was levied, payable on or before July 10th. The price of water was fixed at $1.00 for two hours in the daytime and $1.00 for three hours in the night-time, which rates will continue until further notice. The Azusa Ranch was sold on Saturday by the sheriff, under foreclosure of mortgage, the Los Angeles County Bank bidding in five hundred acres for $25,000 and the Pioche estate taking 1,200 acres at $35,000.

On Wednesday evening last Metz's hall was filled to repletion with a select and appreciative audience. Every seat was occupied and many who arrived after the entertainment began were obliged to remain standing. The acting throughout the play was excellent and the different characters in "The People's Lawyer," were well represented. "Box- & Cox" as usual was good. The music by Prof. Finck on the violin and Miss Finck on the organ deserves especial mention. The club feels greatly encouraged and thankful at the way its efforts have been received by the public.

The ball game on Sunday between the young Americas of this city and a team from Orange was a top heavy affair the score Primitive Methods Of Citrus Culture Citrus growers of Southern California will be interested in comments received recently by the farm adviser's office of Orange county, from A. I. Welnstein, who is now located in Palestine. Two years ago he spent some time in Orange county, studying local methods of citrus culture. He writes as follows from Tel Aviv: "The groves here are very productive, crops of 600 to 700 boxes to the acre being common. Their cultural methods, however, would drive a California orange grower to the madhouse. In the old groves, with 250 to 300 trees to the acre, they depend entirely on hand labor. In such a jungle it is impossible to straighten up and one must pick his way on all fours. In the new plantations the trees are set wider apart, and some venturesome spirits plant as "few" as 150 trees to the acre. This, however, raised a storm of controversy as to the "wastefulness" of such methods. The arguments pro and con have evidently been going on for the past few years and show no signs of abating. Only a few days ago I heard an old citrus grower say that these new-fangled notions will ruin the country. In this statement he included all modifications of irrigation methods and policy. Irrigation is done here strictly by the calendar basis, notwithstanding the fact that brown rot gummosis is not of rare occurrence." Of insect pests, the most common are red scale and a soft brown scale. Aphids are also to be found. The total damage caused by them is relatively small, considering that spraying is rarely, if ever, done. There seems to The ball game on Sunday between the young Americas of this city and a team from Orange was a top heavy affair the score being 12 to 7 in favor of the local team. The game was easy for the locals, as Teddy Dickel's curves proving too mysterious for the Olivecities. Billy Fischer did the receiving and his brother Chilly, was there with his foxy base running. All the other local lads put up a pretty good game. Guy Meats did the twirling for the visitors. The Olive boys were outclassed and were handed a beautiful bunch of horse collars. Manager Tausch of the Y. A's is thinking of challenging a Los Angeles team and would like to take a fall out of Tom Young's ball tossers one of these days, Eh, Tom? The Oil, Wells and Tuffts-Lyon baseball teams will meet at Athletic park on Sunday and a great game is expected. Al Bittner informs us that he found his ranch at Vista, near Escendido, to be otherwise than a barren tract of sterility which previous reports had made of it. He found it to be a level piece of farming land, having upon it a spring from which considerable water may be developed. Madame Modjeska appeared at an entertainment given by the Ladies Guild of the Episcopal church at the residence of Mrs. James Rice of Tustin one evening last week.

The total by them is relatively ing that spraying is done. There seems to be some natural control, as in all my wanderings here I saw but a single case of cottony-cushion scale and one branch infested with mealy bugs. Both disappeared in a short while and haven't been seen since. How long this condition will prevail remains to be seen. "Though the growers in general are very conservative here, I am sure that an extension specialist who has had a wide experience in citriculture and could speak authoritatively would find an attentive audience among the element and could do a great deal for the industry in Palestine."
