ON THE LOOKOUT in and about Anaheim with Lowell E. Jessen We're still cowboys Young America hasn't out-lived the Bar-U ranch days. Airplanes and automobiles, which once were mechanical playthings for the rich and now are graduated to the potency of utilities, hold their lure for lads of today. But "Old Dobbin" holds the heart of the young American just as he held the fancy of dad and granddad. The simple fact that the horse is a living thing, responding to kind treatment and becoming a companion worthy of trust, probably explains the fondness shown by the men of tomorrow. Little boys, hardly old enough to read cowboy stories or understand the hardships of that kind of life, are attracted irresistibly to the ranch, the riding academy or the saddle shop. Anything connected with horses wins immediate attention. Many Anaheim mothers, learning the strange ways of their sons, first inquire of Mr. Gordon, owner of a local harness shop, before looking farther when their offspring is unaccountably absent for any length of time. And many times the first inquiry brings the direct response that the boy right then is seated on a saddle and longingly eyeing a pair of cowboy chaps. These little Tom Mix's just cannot resist an opportunity to look over and pick out the articles every good cowboy should have. They survey the hats, look at the bridles, mount the saddles, wish for some high-heeled cowboy boots, marvel at the spurs and leave only when exasperated mothers tug at unwilling arms. Perhaps this weakness for horseflesh is inherited. Mr. Gordon assures us that the leading automobile dealers in Los Angeles—particularly those most heard of in civic circles—drive their SHORT RECORDS IN MANY COUNTIES Births, Marriages and Deaths Considered by State Board of Health It's easy enough to prove you are alive, but can you furnish evidence that you were born at a certain place on a certain day? Many persons have discovered to their sorrow that they can't produce a birth certificate when proof of citizenship is needed. The state department of public health has prepared data on various California counties, showing years for which birth, death and marriage certificates are obtainable. In Orange county files are complete as follows: Births 1889 to date. Deaths 1889 to date. Marriages 1889 to date. A constantly growing demand for copies of birth certificates is reported by the state department. Increase in travel to foreign countries has been responsible in great part for these requests, authorities believe. Since 1905 the state has kept all such records, but prior to that time they are incomplete in many counties. Marriage records have been kept most faithfully from the earliest times, according to the department. Deaths have been registered in rather desulfory fashion and records of births in many counties are totally incomplete. An interesting fact is disclosed by the department in Sonoma county, where registration of marriages began in 1846, four years before the state government was organized, and has been maintained to date. These records were started under the old Bear Flag government. The mountain counties in the old mining districts and other counties organized early in California's history have a fairly complete list of records of vital statistics. San Francisco is completely without birth or marriage records for the period to April 18, 1906, as all these facts Soil moisture can many walnut groves irrigation has not yet and where the tree moisture from rain true on light sand irrigation was applied course trees which with a high moisture which were irrigation are not sufficient time is not far dist need water.

Whims of man The astonishing thing about our modern interest in horses is the fact that there are more horses in the United States today than ever before, and more saddles are being made this year than were made 30 years ago—when horses were used for transportation and automobiles were the rich man's hobby. Now the situation is reversed. Words of cheer Rear Admiral Richard Evelyn Byrd, speaking over a national radio hook-up two weeks ago, gave us something to think about when he said that "there is plenty left to explore," and explicitly stating babes of today have their adventurous work cut out for them tomorrow. Coming from a man who has flown by airplane over both the top and the bottom of the world, the statement about plenty left to explore seems incredible. But Byrd means it.

An agreement between California counties regarding residence and transfer of families receiving public assistance has been reached, according to Mrs. Anna L. Saylor, director of the state department of social welfare. Last year, Orange county spent $47,396 in caring for indigents outside of almshouses. "One of the most troublesome problems involved in handling of this relief is determination of legal residence of a considerable number of applicants," she declared. "The state law which defines responsibility of counties for caring for the indigent is not sufficiently definite to cover many problems which arise. Considerable litigation has been had between counties and frequent disputes have absorbed much time and attention." "Formulation of a definite agreement which will clarify the matter has been completed and all counties have expressed a desire to have such a gentleman's agreement. Tentative drafts of such an agreement are now being studied." Although the inter-county problem is particularly acute in care of indigents outside almshouses, Mrs. Saylor said the situation has created trouble in every phase of county relief. The state old age aid act, care of persons in almshouses, orphan relief, etc., have all been affected by moving families from one county to another. "Probably no single aspect of our work in administrating the state aid act has caused more confession and relay than this fact," the director asserted. "This is simplified somewhat however, by wording of the act, requiring a year's residence in the county. It is the care of indigents in which the state does not play a part that is most immediately in need of clarification." A notable step forward during the past year by which counties are cooperating better in discussing their common problems and arriving at agreement and understanding is noted by Mrs. Saylor. Noteworthy accomplishments have resulted in eliminating waste motion and inequalities and establishment of better standards in care of dependents. Soil Moisture Reserves Low Soil moisture conditions are poor in many walnut groves, particularly where irrigation has not occurred this spring and where the trees are yet drawing on moisture from rainfall. It is also very true on light sandy soils, even when irrigation was applied before bloom. Of course trees which are on heavy soil, with a high moisture holding capacity, which were irrigated during early spring are not suffering. However, the time is not far distant when they will need water. Walnut cost surveys show that irrigation during June, July and August is essential. The group who keep their soil sufficiently moist during those months had better quality than those who did not. Therefore, Mr. Cory, Acting Farm Advisor, urges that growers examine their soil with a soil auger or soil tube at once and if in need of moisture, be sure to apply it. A good instrument for soil moisture examination is a soil tube. Heretofore these instruments cost about twenty dollars. Arrangements have now been made for growers to get these tubes through their packing houses at about two-thirds of this price. Order a six foot tube today from your packing house manager and be able to accurately examine your soil to a depth of six feet. Avocado and citrus growers can get four foot-tubes in the same way. Further details about these tubes will be supplied by the Farm Advisor's office, 506 N. Main St., Santa Ana. "SILAS AND SUSIE" TALK TO FARMERS Novel Radio Skit Prepared by Department of State Board of Agriculture Silas and Susie are the latest radio couple to engage in the popular broadcasting dialogue vogue now sweeping the country. Mussolini Recognizes Value of American Made "Caterpillar" Tractors FROM the above photograph, which was recently received by Willard E. Shepherd of the Shepherd Tractor & Equipment Company, it will be observed that the dynamic head of Italy's government realizes the importance of scientific farming. The picture was taken during a demonstration staged in connection with Italy's famous "wheat independence battle". Il Duce is shown striding along behind the "Caterpillar" Model Fifteen, apparently showing great interest in the work. Mussolini, who is said to be unusually well informed in the technical phases of farm machinery, seems to appreciate the sure-tripping, non-packing features of the "Caterpillar". Anaheim Girl Scouts Leave for Camp Soon Girl Scouts of Anaheim will leave two days earlier than planned for the joint camp with Santa Monica troops in the San Bernardino mountains, Miss Wanted! Camping Equipment With Plenty of Brains Novel Radio Skit Prepared by Department of State Board of Agriculture Silas and Susie are the latest radio couple to engage in the popular broadcasting dialogue vogue now sweeping the country. Their appeal is to the farmer, and the venture is the state department of agriculture's newest effort to reach the agricultural element of California and the west. O. W. Newman editor of the department's monthly Bulletin, is originator of the idea, and takes the part of "Silas" in the dialogue, with "Susie" played by Eunice Bergold, also of the department. Each Monday evening from 7:15 to 7:30 p.m. over radio KQW, Silas and Susie discuss the many problems arising in a farmer's life. "We have been trying for a long time to devise some scheme whereby we could get across in popular fashion, some of the trials and tribulations of the farmer," Newman explained. "As radio dialogues seemed increasing in public favor we turned to this as a means of carrying out our plan." Silas and Susie are a typical farming couple, that you might find almost any place in the country. They have their quarrels and their reconciliations, but through it all we try to inject some philosophy and good sense that will get across on ride. "Many things come into their lives which could find their counterpart in anyone's existence. They reason out these things, with the accompanying arguments that you would expect. "Situations which exist in California today and for which the farmer is seeking solutions are brought into the picture. Perhaps we will not solve them to the satisfaction of everyone, but at least we have given the germ of a thought that will start people thinking, whether or not they agree with the conclusions Silas and Susie reach. "Undoubtedly there are many subjects which we have not yet touched upon that our audience would like to hear Silas and Susie discuss. A note to the department will be appreciated and if the idea is capable of being included in one of the dialogues it will be used as a topic for future discussion." Anaheim Girl Scouts Leave for Camp Soon Girl Scouts of Anaheim will leave two days earlier than planned for the joint camp with Santa Monica troops in the San Bernardino mountains, Miss Idhth Wilcox, assistant director of physical education of local grammar schools, announced this week. The girls depart July 12, and return July 26 instead of July 28. Literature for girls contemplating going and who haven't yet made reservations may be secured from Miss Bessie Renner at the Fremont Intermediate school offices. G.
