Lima Bean Crop To Be Bumper Indications pointing to a banner year for lima beans of Orange county are very good and a check on acreage just completed by the California Lima Bean Growers association revealed that, although the state acreage is slightly less than it was last year, Orange county has an increase of over 4000 acres. The moisture content of the ground this year is better but the maturity is expected to be later because of some replanting. The harvesting will begin as usual in October, it was learned from the Orange County Farm bureau, Cold weather in May retarded the growth of the beans to some extent. The figures received here today show that Orange county is second in irrigated acreage and third in unirrigated land. Ventura leads both classifications, having 35,210 acres of irrigated beans and 16,701 of unirrigated land devoted to this crop. Orange county has 29,688 of irrigated beans and 6,217 of irrigated land for a total of 26,905 acres. Last year, Orange county had a total of 22,760 acres and received $3,130,258 from the markets. Figures for regular lima bean acreage in the irrigated class are Ventura, 35,210; Orange, 26,688; Los Angeles, 832; Santa Barbara, 596; and San Diego, 350. For the unirrigated beans, the figures are Ventura, 16,701; Santa Barbara, 7,652; Orange, 6,217; San Diego, 5,095; and Los Angeles, 1,290. Orange county raises no baby limas.

Leskie of Costa Mesa, this week drew coment of amazement and appreciation by members of Orange county Lions clubs. When Lions club officials gathered at Costa Mesa Monday night to elect officers for the coming year, Mr. Leskie appeared on the program. Before play-ing numbers which were exceptionally well received, he told of the history of his violin, for which he has received several offers of $50,000, and which he is authoritatively informed is worth $100,000 or more. He indicated, how ever, that much as the violin is sought and worth, he wouldn't part with it because of the family tradition grown up about it. Also on the program was Five-Year-Old Ray Wallace of Costa Mesa, who sang several songs, accompanied at the piano by his sister. Ross Phegley president of the local Lions club and cashier of the Anaheim National bank, was re-elected vice president of the Orange County Council. President E. M. Sunquist of Santa Ana and Dr. E. H. Rowland, also of Santa Ana and secretary for the past year, were re-named. Plans for attending the Lions international convention in Denver from July 15 to 18 were discussed, while a model initiation developed by Dr. Rowland received attention of council members. CONCERN SHOWN OVER BIRTH RATE Heavy Decline in United States Reported by Government Bulletin In an average group of 200 Americans in 1915 five children were being born each year. In that same average group in 1928 less than four children were being born. These figures are based on the returns from those States, embracing 91 per cent of the population, where the registration of births is required by law. In 1915 the birth rate in the registration area was 25.1. In 1928 it was 19.7, a decrease of 5.4 or 21.5 per cent. The results, says the Office of Education, of the Department of the Interior, now is being felt in the schools. Actual decreases in the number of children in the lower grades in communities that are increasing in population are being shown. In Chicago, for example, at the end of September, in 1924, there were 260,872 children in the first six grades of the Constable Marion Seeks Re-election E. D. Marion on Wednesday took out nomination papers for constable of Anaheim township. Mr. Marion has served the people in this capacity for the past eight years, and now seeks re-election to this office. His administration of it has been faithfully performed, and he stands squarely on his record as an efficient and capable officer. The civil division of his department takes about 95 per cent of his time, though much of it is taken up by the criminal work of the Justice Court. The office of constable is important in view of the fact that the Anaheim township is growing rapidly and the legal business is expanding. Mr. Marion is well versed regarding the fulfillment of his duties as constable, and has been given praise for his prompt and satisfactory service rendered the public. Alfalfa Harvester Is Tried at Davis turns from those States, embracing 91 per cent of the population, where the registration of births is required by law. In 1915 the birth rate in the registration area was 25.1. In 1928 it was 19.7, a decrease of 5.4 or 21.5 per cent. The results, says the Office of Education, of the Department of the Interior, now is being felt in the schools. Actual decreases in the number of children in the lower grades in communities that are increasing in population are being shown. In Chicago, for example, at the end of September, in 1924, there were 260,872 children in the first six grades of the regular day schools. The corresponding figure for 1929 was 254,666, an actual decrease of more than 6,000. In the Nation there were 4,320,000 children in the first grade in 1920 while in 1926, with a population increase of 10 per cent, there were less than 4,000,000. These facts are set out in a bulletin just published by the Department of the Interior entitled "Statistics of State School Systems 1927-1928." Discussing decreases in enrollment more in detail the report says: "The birth rate has been declining for a number of years. Data for the registration area begin with 1915, but data for Massachusetts may be used previous to that time. In 1915 the birth rate for the registration area was 25.1 per thousand of the population within that area. The rate for Maschusetts for that year was 25.2, and for 1913 and for 1914, as well, it was 25.6. By using Massachusetts data for 1913, and 1914, we have data showing birth rates by years from 1913 to the present time. The rate for 1928 in the registration area is 19.7, and while returns are incomplete for 1929 it is perhaps under 19 per thousand. "Since children born in 1920 would not ordinarily enter school until 1926, or during the school year 1926-27, it is necessary to use a 7-year lag in comparing birth rates with either the number entering school, or the percentage of pupils in the first grade. The lag is really 6.5 years since the birth rate is for a calendar year, while the school years ends about the middle of a calendar year. Birth rates for 1913 may then be compared with first-grade enrollments for 1920, and 1921 birth rates with school data for 1928. When comparisons are made in this way, the first-grade enrollment appears to be rather sensitive to changes in the birth rate. "The birth rate declined from 25.6 in 1913 to 24.5 in 1918, and then suddenly dropped to 22.3 in 1929, due perhaps partly to the effect of the activities of the war period, and to the influenza which reached its peak of epidemicity in November, 1918. The first-grade enrollment in 1926 dropped below 4,000,000, the first time this had happened since 1913. The birth rate then increased to 23.7 in 1920, and to 24.3 in 1921. Likewise the first-grade enrollment increased to 4:171,037 in 1928. There is little evidence that the first-grade enrollment from 1927 showed any increase, since though much of it is taken up by the criminal work of the Justice Court. The office of constable is important in view of the fact that the Anaheim township is growing rapidly and the legal business is expanding. Mr. Marlon is well versed regarding the fulfillment of his duties as constable, and has been given praise for his prompt and satisfactory service rendered the public. Alfalfa Harvester Is Tried at Davis A new type of alfalfa harvester is being tried at the Branch of the College of Agriculture of the University of California here this week. This harvester differs particularly from the old type mower in that it conveys the cut hay between hard rubber rollers where the stems are crushed. It is the belief of the inventor, E. B. Cushman of San Jose, that the hay will dry more quickly and therefore will be better quality. Tests are being made by the agronomy, dairy production and agricultural engineering divisions of the machine from several points of view. The agronomy division is determining the rate of drying and the condition of the hay. The agricultural engineering division is concerned with the operation of the machine. The dairy production department is to ascertain the loss or gain in vitamins, the palatability and the nutritive value of the product as compared with alfalfa harvested by the usual methods. The inventor believes that the hay, drying more quickly, will be of better color; that because the stems are crushed they will be more palatable and more easily digested; that there will be less shattering and that the vitamins will be preserved in larger measure. On the other hand, it is pointed out that vitamins may be lost through oxidation and that through the crushing by the rollers, valuable nutrients may be lost with juices squeezed from the plants. Democrats in Congress say that the new tariff bill will ruin the Republicans in the next election if it gets through Congress. But they fail to explain, if this is true, why they are trying to keep it from getting through Congress. The tossing of shoes is said to be a signal for divorce in certain parts of the orient. In America the corresponding signal was tossing a rolling pin, until rolling pins went out of style. A New England woman left a will recently bequeathing two millions to Yale University.

Likewise the first-grade enrollment increased to 4,171,037 in 1928. There is little evidence that the first-grade enrollment from 1927 showed any increase, since the second-grade enrollment in 1928 is still below the second-grade enrollment in 1926. "In 1922 the birth rate dropped to 22.5 and has gradually become smaller each year since almost without exception, reaching 19.7 in 1928. It is safe to predict a continuing decrease in the first-grade enrollment as far ahead as 1935. "With respect to the birth rate, it has declined so rapidly during the past 15 years that it is doubtful if the number of 5-year-old children, or the number of 6-year-old children is increasing materially from year to year. "This falling off in the enrollment in the early grades has been noticed even in growing cities, for several years. Chicago, for example, which is growing at the rate of 56,000 per year, had a healthy increase in the total enrollment in the first six grades to and including 1924. Since that time these enrollments have been falling off. During a greater part of this same period the parochial schools report a reduction in enrollment."
