PROSPECTS FOR PEPPERS GOOD Weevil Infestations Not Large and Little Damage Anticipated; Experiment with Control By ERIC E. EASTMANN Assistant Farm Advisor The prospects for a satisfactory crop of peppers continue to remain bright, as the crop is reaching the stage of greatest growth, just prior to maturity. The weevil infestations are not large and, taking the area as a whole, will cause but little damage, according to best estimates possible at this mid-season period. The control investigations are being continued with both calcium arsenate and a new chemical this year, barium flue-silicate, which appears very promising, as it is highly destructive to the pepper weevil insect and yet practically uon-polisonous to man or the higher animals. This chemical is being tried out on several fields as well as experimental plots. These investigations are being continued because of the difficulty of securing a good clean-up after the pepper harvest, owing to departure of renters after harvest. A good clean up of all pepper plants and black nightshade plants immediately after harvest is still the best insurance against the pepper weevil pest next year. Interest in the formation of a pepper marketing association continues this year because of the probable market competition from the newly created chill pepper growing districts in other states. A recent meeting of some of the prominent growers in the Farm Bureau, offices resulted in their desire to cooperate and to this end rejuvenate the pepper growers department of the Farm Bureau for the solution of problems in conjunction with the extension service. Aside from marketing, the most prominent problem suggested were: Pepper weevil control, seed selection and variety improvement, cost of production studies and fertilization. Water Conservation Association Meets The directors of the Water Conservation Association met at 9 a.m. August 9th, at the office of the Riverside Water Company, Riverside; all members being present, as well as Engineer Paul Bailey, and proceeded from there to the site of the weir being constructed at the mouth o fthe Santa Ana Canyon, San Bernardino County, where they inspected the work and conferred with the contractor. The excavating has been about one-half completed, and about 2000 cubic yards of rubble masonry has been laid in the weir. The total amount in this part of the work is 6900 cubic yards. There are two steam shovels at work, with mixers and other equipment, under direct supervision of the contractor, Mr. John Strona. The work is of the most substantial character. Huge boulders being imbedded in concrete, which, on the bottom, is 7 feet thick, the weir, itself, being about 60 feet wide up and down stream. The directors all expressed themselves as satisfied with the character of the work, although urging the contractor to greater speed, so that the weir will be completed before the winter rains set in. The directors had luncheon together at Bourrell's Cafeteria and had a meeting after which was discussed the matter of a larger open earthen conduit from the end of the conduit now under contract to the spreading grounds. An aerial map, made by the Fairchilds Aerial Surveys, Inc., of Los Angeles, outdoor meeting on the completion of the Association, was inspected with interest. The directors contemplate holding an outdoor meeting o nthe completion of the weir and other works, so that all who are interested in this project may have an opportunity of informing themselves of what has been done and what is contemplated.

Raymond and Snyder recently were granted the Graham franchise for this district. Maintaining headquarters at 250 North Los Angeles street, the popular auto dealers also opened Graham display rooms at 306 North Los Angeles street, where the latest creations of the large automotive manufacturing concern are exhibited, and where service for that car, as well as repairs for all makes of automobiles, is conducted. Both of the partners are well known in northern Orange county. For a long time they developed a steady used-car trade and took on the Graham line as soon as they determined to expand. "Considering the times, sales of our new Grahams sixes and eights have been very satisfactory," Mr. Raymond said Thursday. "We anticipate a steadily-growing demand for the automobiles because, in our experience, they offer the most for the dollar. After all, an automobile must be judged by the trouble-free performance it gives on the road, and this quality is what makes us strong boosters for the Graham." STRESS POTENCY OF ADVERTISING Potency of skilfully-used advertising space in the newspapers of California was illustrated this week by correspondence from Bank of Italy officials, who recently voted a general increase in advertising space for the state's newspapers in recognition of the manner in which the bank has augmented its business during the present business depression. The increased space affects about 300 newspapers. The bank clearly sets forth in a letter to the publishers that the use of their space for advertising purposes not only justifies the newspapers for the increased advertising expenditures which has been agreed upon. The letter also said that the bank had gone through the present period without curtailing its advertising in any respect. Manager E. E. Smith of the local branch, Bank of Italy, pointed out that the action of the Bank of Italy in some respects parallels the recent division of the Fox chain of theatres, which adopted a policy of eliminating many forms of advertising in favor of newspaper advertising. TRAFFIC OFFICERS ON JOB Changing a tire for a mother who was minding three babies is all part of the day's work for traffic officers of Putte county, according to a letter received by Frank G. Snook, chief of the division of motor vehicles, from Mrs. E. L. Johnson of Oroville. Mrs. Johnson had a puncture on her way from Oroville to Gridley and was stalled in the highway, with the youngsters, nine months to four years old, climbing all over her. "I could have changed the tire alone," she wrote. "but I was offered assistance by a traffic cop. I want to send you my thanks for keeping such gentlemen in this district."

VOTE FOR LAMB Trans-Atlantic Flight Mysteries Reveal “Death Spot” 400 Miles Out The circle indicates the geographical location of the “Death Spot” in the North Atlantic discovered by Colonel Kingsford-Smith on his trans-Atlantic flight in the “Southern Cross.” The mystery surrounding the disappearance of a score of airmen who during the past four years have attempted rossing the North Atlantic and failed may be virtually solved in the judgment of Lt. Colonel Charles Kingsford-Smith famed Australian overseas flyer. In a recent discussion of his flight from England to North America, with I. D. Tew, president of the B. F. Goodrich Rubber company, Kingsford-Smith stated that the unusual experience of having all three compasses on the “Southern Cross” fall to function when 100 miles off Nova Scotia had led him to make inquiries which indicated that every other successful trans-Atlantic expedition had encountered similar difficulties while over the same general area. “It seems to me that there must be some extraordinary ore deposit or similar strong magnetic attraction present in that section of the ocean waste,” Smith said. “The Breemen crew preceding the ‘Southern Cross’ west to the American continent reported dearranged com­ been had we not been equipped with radio which served us well during the three hours when the compasses swung wildly and were wholly useless. “I have made a full report to the United States government hydrographic department on the subject and I am sure that office will bring to light additional information of great value to those who will try the overwater trip,” the Australian said. He is now preparing to fly alone from England to Australia in a light British sport plane, but expects to return to this country later this year. IN HONOR OF PUBLISHER Bernard McFadden, famous New York publisher, is to have a prominent peak in Castle Crags, scenic beauty spot in Shasta county, named in his honor. Formal ceremonies naming the peak were held a few days ago, on McFadden’s birthday. McFadden himself, and a large party of friends, came from New York by special train for the ceremony. The publisher is having a revolving Rolph Closing Unique Campaign Mayor James Rolph Jr., candidate for the Republican nomination for Governor, is closing this week in Southern California one of the most intensive and colorful campaigns in the political history of the state. Since the announcement of his candidacy several months ago, the mayor has visited every one of the 58 counties in California and has sponsored by citizens in each them. The mayor's candidacy has been widely endorsed throughout the state outstanding business men, industry and labor leaders and others of promise in the life of California, including large groups of women interested in club and welfare work in every city and town. In one of his final campaign speeches in Los Angeles this week, Mayor Rolph said, in part: "I pledge to the people of California that if elected governor, I will recognize every part of the state. I promise that if elected I will use every possible means to establish greater faith in our state. We are one united state of California. We know of no north, south east, or west. There is no sectionalism so far as I am concerned." "Let's settle this Colorado River Day controversy, improve our harbors, construct refrigeration terminals for the storage of the farmers' products, reduce taxes, construct highways and bridge and make other needed public improvements." Mayor Rolph is honorary president of the 91st Division and honorary president of the 363rd Regiment and a member of Veterans of Foreign Wars. He is a member o othe Olympie, Bohemian Pacific Union, Union League and Family Clubs, Native Sons of the Golden West, Masons, Shriners, Redmen, Elk Moose, Eagles and other fraternal organizations.

He is married and has three children, James Rolph III. "Southern Cross" fall to function when 400 miles off Novia Scotia had led him to make inquiries which indicated that every other successful trans-Atlantic expedition had encountered similar difficulties while over the same general area. "It seems to me that there must be some extraordinary ore deposit or similar strong magnetic attraction present in that section of the ocean waste," Smith said. "The Bremen crew preceding the Southern Cross' west to the American continent reported, dearranged compasses a few hours off Novia Scotia, and I have learned that Colonel Lindbergh, W. S. Brock of Detroit and the navigators of the airship 'Graf Zeppelin' also experienced identical happenings for short periods. "My conviction is that many of the flyers who lost their lives in efforts to span the Atlantic were victims of this strange phenomena as we might have VISITORS FROM TURKEY Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Alice of Symrna, Turkey, this week were the guests of Mrs. Harold Welch of Anaheim, sister of Mrs. Alice. The Allies formerly lived at Yorba Linda and are well known in northern Orange county. Before returning to Turkey, the couple will go to Berkeley where they will stay until December, and thenjournney to Ithaca, N. Y., to attend Cornell College until next summer. IN HONOR OF PUBLISHER Bernarr McFadden, famous New York publisher, is to have a prominent peak in Castle Crags, scenic beauty spot in Shasta county, named in his honor. Formal ceremonies naming the peak were held a few days ago, on McFadden's birthday. McFadden himself, and a large party of friends, came from New York by special train for the ceremony. The publisher is having a revolving type airplane beacon erected on the peak to bear his name. It will be 1,000 candlepower, double the brilliance of the ordinary federal beacon. TALKING PICTURES AT STATION March field, government training station, is one of the two stations on the Pacific coast to be equipped with talking movies. The motion picture theater for officers and enlisted men has been reconstructed, making it nearly soundproof. All the latest talking releases are shown at this theatre, an dthe projection and sound effects are as efficient us those in the metropolitan theatres. The young Germans have formed a new party in the Relchstag, and we wonder whether it's an organization like our young Turks over here in the Senate.

The California Cooperative Crop Reporting Service has compiled its summer resume of the field crop situation and found the state in a most advantage position. Of the 15 major field crops in the state, only three indicate a decrease in production for the year. They are cotton, potatoes, and "tame hay," exclusive of alfalfa and grain hay. Wheat and barley led in increased production, with the former standing at 14,394,000 bushels, an increase over 1929 of about 2,500,000, and barley forecast at 33,396,900 bushels, a 4,000,000 bushels increase. Indian corn, the hardest hit of all crops in the mid-west, showed an increase of nearly 300,000 bushels in California. Oats have turned out better than expected, this year's crop totaling 5,120,000 bushels, compared with 4,437,-000 in 1929. The increase is about the same proportion as for the entire county. Higher temperatures during July was beneficial to the rice crop. The indicate yield is now placed at 57 bushels per acre, forecasting a total crop of 6,270,000 bushels, a slight increase over last year. The U.S. crop as a whole fell ab at 19 per cent. The increased area of sugar beets throughout the Sacramento and San Joaquin valleys will materially increase the average yield per acre for the state. Production is forecast at 793,-000 tons, which is a 250,000 ton increase over 1929. An increase was noted generally for the U.S. Cotton has fallen off in production in this state, as it has all over the production centers of the nation. About 224,-000 bales are predicted, a loss of some 30,000 bales compared with last year. Only about 60 per cent of the hop acreage worked in 1929 is under cultivation this year, with some improvement reported during the past month, principally in the Sacramento Valley. Coast hops are in poor condition and probable production will not exceed 4,200,000 pounds.
