Hints For the Home Coffee Roll Make a dough of three cups of flour, sifted with one teaspoon each of salt and ground mace, and one-half cup of sugar. Add one cup of milk, in which one compressed yeast cake has been blended, and work one-half cup of softened butter. Knead, let rise in a warm place, roll out to one-fourth inch thick, cut into long strips, and twist these around the outside of a well-greased pan, cylindrical in form, joining the strips where necessary by moistening the edges. Let rise again; bake in a moderate oven, and when nearly done brush over with sugar and water and sprinkle the top with fine-chopped almonds, mixed with dry sugar and cinnamon. Hot Water Sponge Cake Beat three egg yolks light and add one cup of sugar and continue beating until well mixed. Now add one cup of flour that has been sifted with one teaspoon of baking powder and a quarter teaspoon salt. Add two tablespoons of hot water, then the whites of three eggs beaten stiff and a tablespoon of lemon juice. Bake in patty tins. Japanese Lemon Pie Just why Japanese, we don't know. But that is the name of it and it is the delicious specialty of a friend. Roll together the juice of a small lemon, the grated rind, four tablespoons of water and four of sugar. Cool and add the yolks of three eggs, well beaten. Cook in double boiler until creamy, stirring constantly. Beat the egg whites, three of them, and beat in three tablespoons of sugar. Fold the hot lemon cream into the sweetened whites. Have ready a baked crust. Pour in the filling and brown in the oven. This makes a nine-inch pie.

K. Potash Brings No Response In Tests Experiments Show Peach Trees Take Potassium from Soil But Make No Use of It Application of potash as a fertilizer for peaches and prunes brought no results in yield, quality or maturity, in tests made by the University of California division of pomology. According to Dr. E. L. Proebeting, who conducted the experiments, the peach trees took thousands of dollars in the United States Treasury by the auction of the furs of the slaughtered prowlers. It has also served notably in the preservation of our valuable wild life, our deer and other game. And the work has taken governor hunters into Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Texas, Utah, Washington, Wyoming, Oklahoma, Arkansas and, more recently, Wisconsin and Minnesota. In these states are organized fourteen districts, each with a trained inspector in charge. Besides the work carried on under such supervision, calls are constantly being answered for control work in other states, so that it may properly be said that the work of the Biological Survey extends into every state in the Union in greater or lesser degree. "The system under which the hunters of the Predatory Animal Control Division work is an interesting one. They may be compared to the Northwest Mounted, famous in song and story for 'getting their man.' For the hunters employed by Uncle Sam are given but one order—"to get their animal"—if it be bobcat, coyote, wolf or stock-killing bear. The hunters themselves are trained and skilled in the lore of the woods, in the lore of the animals they are set to stalk. They are men, for the most part, who are products of the open range, men born and bred in the prairie lands of the wolf or the mountain haunts of the lion, men who have broken mustangs and lived, the life of cowboys and trappers since old enough to sit a saddle or point a gun. From such men as these the Biological Survey chooses and trains its hunters." A consequence tions is the desire feasible methods put the fertilizers roots. Unless they absorbed by the response remains. Course In Husband Basis for Classes From Exten University By W.

Uncle Sam Still Hunting Animals Assigns Experts to Help States Bay for Stock Ruisers Bring Predatory Creatures to There are still many predatory animals in the United States, so many in fact that Uncle Sam maintains a bureau at Washington with skilled hunters to help the states get rid of them. The bear, bobcat, the wolf and the mountain lion still do a great deal of damage to domestic herds.

After five years of vigilance. Old Lefty, Whitey, Big Foot, Three Toes and Grey Terror submitted, perforce to the superior ingenuity of man. For five years these renegade wolves had roamed at large in the state of Colorado, making their kills among the valuable herds of the country, and for five years the crack hunters of the United States Biological Survey, under the supervision of Stanley P. Young, at that time leader of predatory animal control work, had exerted all the skill and cunning of which they were capable in an effort to rid the state of these destructive creatures. The tale of this five years' efforts reads like a Jack London novel. Yet this is but a chapter in the activities of the Bureau of Biological Survey in its efforts to rid the countryside of predatory animals which cause a national loss of from $20,000,000 to $30,-000,000 annually, and make miserable the lives of farmers throughout the length and breadth of the land. "Mr. Young is established in Washington now, as principal biologist in charge of the Division of Predatory Animal and Rodent Control of the Survey.

It has made possible the raising to maturity of thousands of sheep and cattle which would otherwise have been destroyed. It has saved millions of dollars in the agricultural field and been the means of depositing hundreds of ANAHBM GAZETTE Study Applications "The results present two entirely different aspects of the fertilizer problem from the experimental standpoint," says Dr. Proebsting in discussing the outcome of the tests made. "In fertilizer trials with materials that are fixed in the soil, it is necessary to recognize that failure to respond may be due to either of the two causes illustrated by the above trials. The material may be absorbed by the tree, but exert no appreciable influences, or it may be fixed by the soil and little or none of the material applied be available for the use of the tree. It would seem desirable, therefore, that some idea of the fate of fertilizers applied to trees be obtained as an aid in interpreting results." "A consequence of these interpretations is the desirability of obtaining teasible methods of application that put the fertilizer in contact with the roots. Unless the material is actually absorbed by the tree the question of response remains unsettled." Course In Poultry Husbandry Slated Basis for Classes Will Be Taken From Extension Courses University of California By W. M. CORY, Assistant Farm Advisor The poultry department of the Orange county farm bureau has planned a complete course of instruction in poultry husbandry to be given at the monthly meetings of the department. The basis of the subject matter is the correspondence course given by the extension division of the University of California. As many as will are asked to enroll for the source. These folks will act as discussion leaders at the meeting, talking over the material here. Washington, D. C.—With several years of experience, including at least two pronounced successes in finding practical commercial uses for waste farm products, the government's great research agency, the bureau of standards is now turning toward elaborating its work to include numerous crops never before investigated. After only a year or so of practical experiment, carried on mainly at Ames, Iowa, these scientists developed a satisfactory insulating board made from cornstalks, and a private firm at Dubuque, Iowa, is now manufacturing such board. A graduate student at Iowa State university at Ames is responsible, for another development out of this work. C. E. Hartford, Jr., a young scientific student there, discovered, while working on a thesis, that a hard rubber-like substance resulted from combining water with cornstalk pulp after the latter was put through a severe mechanical process. The result was the new product, known as "malzolith." Within a year after it was successfully completed, widespread demands induced the bureau to begin studying it again in an attempt to find new applications and properties of the material. The new discoveries in conjunction with insulating board include the revelation that this board can be made from many other substances in addition to cornstalks. Some of these are: Tobacco stems, after the nicotine has been extracted for other uses by a new process recently put in operation; Artichoke tops, which promise to become important through commercial manufacture of levulose from artichokes; Straw, being used by a private firm at St. Louis with which the bureau is cooperating in an attempt to perfect processes. A third aspect of the paperboard progress is one just undertaken here. is one involving the manufacture of a good paper from straw. Paper of a poor quality has been produced for years, but attempts are now being made, with good results to utilize wheat, barley and rice straw in making paper which can compete with that now on the market. An entirely different line of investigation, successfully completed within the past few months, consisted in developing commercial manufacture of xylose, a highly concentrated form of sugar especially valuable in medical work, from peanut shells and cotton-seed-hull bran, the latter being a particularly good source. His work has been definitely accomplished and the works closed until markets can be found which will require operation of The plant. The plant is located at Aniston, Ala. With that completed, the investigators have returned to the study of securing from xylose produced in this way an acid similar to tartaric, citric and succinic acid, and having important industrial possibilities such as tanning leather, flavoring soft drinks and mordanting wool. Peanut hulls are especially used here, and indications are that excellent results are being achieved. Two remaining important experiments now under way are those involving commercial production of starch from sweet potatoes and the refining of cotton seed oil. But of these are of peculiar interest to small, unspecialized farmers. The former, cooperatively conducted with the Alabama Polytechnic Institute, is aimed to supply the textile industry with starch from a farm product, sweet potatoes, which is a home staple in many parts of the country. The cotton seed oil experiments aim to simplify the refining process so that it may be in reach of the small community press. The large capital investment needed for a refinery now limits greatly the uses of this by-product. In addition to these projects, a great deal of necessary work in methods and analyses has been done, and it has all been accomplished in three years at a cost of but $159,000. By W. M.

The basis of the subject matter is the correspondence course given by the extension division of the University of California. As many as will are asked to enroll for the course. These folks will act as discussion leaders at the meeting, talking over the material in the lesson received that month. Others will add their experiences in the subject under discussion. This will give a splendid basis of instruction for beginners and freshen the memory of those experienced in poultry raising. These meetings will be open to the public with no charges as they will be held under the auspices of the agricultural extension service and farm bureau. Approximately one hour will be devoted to subject matter discussion, 30 minutes to marketing and 30 minutes to general topics such as tariff, legislation, etc. The meetings will be held at the farm advisor's office, Santa Ana, every fourth Thursday night in the month. A fee of two dollars is charged for may either be made to the farm advisor's office or direct to the agricultural correspondence course.

A third aspect of the paperboard progress is one just undertaken here. This consists in making much heavier and stronger insulating board from cornstalks through subjecting it to heavy pressure, just as is done with board made from wood or other commodities. Tests of efficiency, waterproofing and similar phases are now being conducted here. All of this work means various practical things to rural dwellers, since each discovery not only opens up new markets for things now thrown away but also promotes the diversification of crops which the farm board and the agriculture department have been preaching so earnestly. Still another paper-making project from many other substances in addition to cornstalks.

Building Permits Show Slump In January Slump during January January building permits totalled $47,550, a decrease of $73,320 from the high mark set a year ago of $120,870. However, there were an even 20 permits issued during Januarys of 1930 and 1931. Building Inspector R. Nyboe announced this week. The trouble with buying a new overcoat during the January sales is that it immediately brings out the fact that you need a new hat and a new pair of shoes. YOUR WHEELS ARE YOUR WHEELS IN LINE?

This meeting will be the Annual Walnut Growers Institute, held under the auspices of the Inter-County Walnut Growers department of the Farm Bureau. The Institute will start promptly at 10:00 A.M., at the Anaheim high school, Anaheim. Thorpe is well known to all walnut growers and his talks are always of vital interest and importance. Other speakers on the program will bring messages of importance to the walnut grower, Dr. B. A. Rudolph, of the University of California, will discuss his investigations concerning walnut blight in Southern California. His findings will be exceedingly interesting and important to all growers. All walnut growers should set February 28 aside for the Institute. Many other important walnut problems will be discussed. Red Squill Is "Safest" Poison Gains in Popularity as Means of Killing Rats; Tests Show To Be Less Poisonous An onionlike plant that grows wild along the Mediterranean coast produces the safest rat poison yet known. It is called red squill, and it produces large bulbs that are made into the red-squill powder that has proved so effective in killing rats. So says a leaflet on "Red-Squill Powders in Rat Control" just issued by the United States Department of Agriculture. In the early stages stimulated interest and powdered red squill is now manufactured in quantity in the United States. So far as known, the first of these commercial red-squill powders was placed on the American market in 1926, and in five years these products have taken a leading place among rat poisons. Copies of Leaflet 65-L, just published, may be obtained free on request to the office of information, U.S. Department of Agriculture, Washington, D.C., and copies of the longer report, Technical Bulletin 134-T, may be purchased for 10 cents cash from the superintendent of documents, government printing office, Washington, D.C. Gas Taxes Total Nearly 40 Million Increase of 6.5 Per Cent in 1930 Over 1929 Noted in Reports by Equalization Board California's 1930 gasoline taxes will total $39,666,028.54. This was revealed this week by H.G. Cattell of Pasadena, member of the state board of equalization from the fourth district, upon completion of the assessment roll for the last quarter of the year. "Compared with 1929 taxes from the same source the 1930 revenues show an increase of 6.5 per cent," said Cattell. "The gain is $2,441,920.63 or an average of more than $200,000 a month." However, when contrasted with the assessments for the last three months of 1929, those just completed are found to be only 3.88 per cent greater. The taxes at three cents per gallon just levied total $9,983,358.67, exceeding the corresponding figure of a year ago by $372,686.98. Considering subnormal conditions generally our Board is gratified at the showing made. Gasoline taxes continue to be an ever increasing source of revenue for the maintenance and extension of our splendid highway system. With some needed administrative changes their stability will be assured. Through the generous cooperation of Senator Arthur H. Breed of Bidmont...

It is called red squill, and it produces large bulbs that are made into the red-squill powder that has proved so effective in killing rats. So says a leaflet on "Red-Squill Powders in Rat Control" just issued by the United States Department of Agriculture. Red Squill had been known in Europe for many years, says the leaflet, but apparently its use had not become popular, owing to extreme variation in the toxicity of the products available. Studies by the bureau of biological survey, U. S. Department of Agriculture, however, showed that drying red-squill bulbs under controlled temperature conditions, makes it possible to produce a powder that is uniformly poisonous. The powder, although effective in destroying rats, does not seriously endanger other animal life. Reports of the progress of the investigation and the excellent results obtained Gasoline taxes continue to be an ever increasing source of revenue for the maintenance and extension of our splendid highway system. With some needed administrative changes their stability will be assured. Through the generous cooperation of Senator Arthur H. Breed, of Piedmont, deservedly known as the 'father of the gasoline tax,' we hope to place collections on a monthly basis and to take such other steps as may be necessary to insure that the tax on every gallon of motor vehicle fuel sold reaches the state treasury." Millions of acres in Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan, and also in other parts of the country especially suited for reforestation, are being utterly neglected because our present state and federal laws make reforestation economically impossible. This is a state and a federal problem of great importance, which some day perhaps will receive the attention it deserves. EELS & BRAKES! CAN YOU IN THE REQUIRED DISTANCE AS REQUIRED BY LAW?
