Dried Fruit Bill Declared a Menace State Senate Measure Would Place California Growers at Mercy of European Buyers Sacramento—Charging the proposed dried fruit standardization act, Senate Bill 563, would place California growers at the mercy of European buyers and result in forced sales which would be rulous to the industry, the Agricultural Legislative Committee, representing 40 California cooperatives, have appealed to growers to join in a state-wide demand for defeat of the measure. Warning to Growers Ralph H. Taylor, executive secretary of the Agricultural Legislative Committee, warned growers that under the terms of the new act "the grower could be induced to make saley to foreign countries based on a state certificate under which acceptance of delivery could not be compelled." "As a result," said Secretary Taylor, "the grower would be at the mercy of greedy European buyers, with his goods over 6000 miles away. His only course then would be a forced sale at whatever price was offered by the buyer. "Such 'distress goods', taken at the buyer's own price, would not only injure the returns of the individual grower concerned but would be used seriously to depress the entire market on California fruits would be so depressed that we would have a situation similar to the present fresh grape situation." Over Protest of Cooperatives The proposed dried fruit standardization bill, Taylor said, was given a favorable recommendation by the State Agriculture Committee over the vigorous protest of the Growers' dried fruit cooperatives. The bill is now before the Senate Finance Committee and Taylor Claim Title to Wendel Millions Theodore Lawton (center), wealthy land owner of Wickford, and former investigator for the Department of Interior at Washington with the son and daughter of his housekeeper, Mrs. Mabel Hayes who, he claims are heirs to the Wendel millions.

Protection an Imperative Need For California Wild Fleas By SUSANNA BIXBY BRYANT Founder of Rancho Santa Ana Botanical Garden. Early rains this season, which started a wonderful growth of native vegetation, were followed by so many conspires an almost irresistable tempting winds, that the early growth was checked before blossom time. As a result of this climate condition, it is more necessary than ever to leave our wild flowers unmolested in order that they may reseed themselves to insure even an average display throughout our countryside next Spring. Irresistible Terptation Every beautiful patch of wild flowers presents an almost irresistible temptation to picnic parties and excursionists throughout the length and breadth of the state. Californians realize how important it is to preserve the beauty of our wild gardens, and among the many groups of persons coming into close contact with the important problems bunches of blossoms, with wilted faces pressed close which favorite pupils bring another as to who can gather get bouquet; they can characterize of the different flowers, because of which care should never be picked at others; may be picked more. They can tell why some v never seen any more near and are becoming more rare frequented districts. They children not to destroy whole hillsides of plants to make be ought never to be picked or be sold along the roadside. So Much to Tell There is so much to talk about conditions in calyx, and teachers have an ity to spred the propagand the wild flowers" not only children in class-rooms, but them, to reach hundreds upon of families who spend their Sundays plencking in Over Protest of Cooperatives The proposed dried fruit standardization bill, Taylor said, was given a favorable recommendation by the State Agriculture Committee over the vigorous protest of the Growers' dried fruit cooperatives. The bill is now before the Senate Finance Committee and Taylor urged all California growers to unite in a demand that the measure be tabled in that committee. "Present stability would be seriously jeopardized, if not entirely lost, under this new measure," declared the farm body representative. "Under present conditions, the Dried Fruit Association provides an inspection service, coupled with a uniform contract which is enforceable at this end; consequently there are absolutely no rejections by European buyers." The proposed new system would bring ruinous conditions by providing state certification without any of the saving features of the coordinate uniform contract and assurance of specific performance by both parties. Irrigation Meetings Well Attended By HAROLD E. WAHLBERG, Farm Advisor Considerable interest in orchard irrigation practice was manifested last week in the series of field meetings held by the Agricultural Extension Service of the University of California to discuss present needs of spring irrigation. Several hundred growers attended from all parts of the county. Soil samples were taken in the orchards where the meetings were held and in some cases in adjacent orchards. Only in one orchard was the moisture content down to the point where immediate irrigation was recommended. It was brought out that much irrigation this spring, especially the earlier irrigation, was done before conditions in the soil warranted application. Much of the earlier irrigation could have been held off till now or in some cases for two or three weeks yet. The sandy soils and orchards that have left a cover crop standing late in the season have justified a light or conservative irrigation. The holding off on spring irrigation in the average orchard accomplishes two advantages, first, results in better tree growth, and second, conserves the underground supply for later and more timely applications. In the majority of cases only light irrigations should be applied to maintain the upper foot or so of soil that has reasonably dried out. To let water penetrate into the moist more necessary than ever to leave our wild flowers unmolested in order that they may reseed themselves to insure even an average display throughout our countryside next Spring. Irresistible Terptation Every beautiful patch of wild flowers presents an almost irresistible temptation to picnic parties and excursionists throughout the length and breadth of the state. Californians realize how important it is to preserve the beauty of our wild gardens, and among the many groups of persons coming into close contact with the important problems of wild flower conservation, none has a greater chance to help in its solution than have the teachers in the schools. The development of public opinion of the next generation is in their hands, and the awakening of a wide ideal of the conquerors of this public opinion. The need of conserving our forests, our wild life, and of protecting some of our vanishing wild flowers is urgent. Text for Teachers Every teacher can take as a text the $240,000,000 in Bonds Will Be Voted On At a meeting of the Metropolitan Water board at the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce, Tuesday, it was estimated that bond issues totaling $240,000,000 will be required to meet the cost of the acqueduct to be constructed from the Colorado river into cities of Southern California. The tentative plan is to place the bond issues before the voters of the various districts next September. A report summarizing salient features of water needs of Southern California and main facts in the aqueduct and distribution system were presented by A. L. Sonderegger, outstanding consulting engineer on water problems in Los Angeles, who had previously been retained by the Los Angeles chamber. Sonderegger is said to have made a report substantiating the outlined water needs and approving the estimates and financial set-up of the district. He also favored the proposed Parker route. Copies of this report are to be sent to representatives of member cities. With the estimated cost apparently less than originally quoted, it is expected water will be available for irrigation purposes at a cost about the same as is now paid generally throughout the district, although engineers figure that when the water actually gets here it will be cheaper. Sugar Beet Growers Form Organization By ERIC E. EASTMAN. The request was granted E. Davis was assigned. Mr. meeting was at Oxnard on A growers farming over 4000 sugar beets joined the organization that meeting. The week owed was spent in the Lompoc area cellent results. The final Davis' stay will be in the area. All persons interested tering of the sugar beet sale invited to attend the Monday meeting.

The sandy soils and orchards that have left a cover crop standing late in the season have justified a light or conservative irrigation. The holding off on spring irrigation in the average orchard accomplishes two advantages, first, results in better tree growth, and second, conserves the underground supply for later and more timely applications. In the majority of cases only light irrigations should be applied to maintain the upper foot or so of soil that has reasonably dried out. To let water penetrate into the moist strata in the root area now only delays feeder root growth by excluding soil air and retarding bacterial activity. Charts presented by the farm advisor covering data on irrigation practice in Orange County indicated that orchards using a medium amount of water in 1930 averaged the highest yields of oranges, the best quality of fruit and the high net returns per acre. These figures were obtained from the 1930 cost of production study in cooperation with a large number of citrus growers in Orange County. These same results have been observed in the five years reports since 1926. 4-H Rabbitt Show at County Fair The first Orange County 4-H Club Rabbit Bench Show will be held at the J. N. Chapman ranch, one mile Southwest of Garden Grove, at 1:00 P.M., on Saturday, April 18. Geo. E. Green of Los Angeles will serve as judge, and discuss the merits of the animals and the showing of rabbits for the benefit of the boys and girls engaged in the 4-H rabbit projects. The show was arranged by the county consulting leader in rabbits, F.C. F. C. Davies of Orange, as a means of instructing the 4-H members in the selection of stock and the snowing of rabbits, so that the boys and girls best stock may be shown to greatest advantage at the forthcoming Orange County Valencia Show and Fair. All persons interested in boys and girls work with rabbits will be welcome at the show. The road from Ocean avenue to the Chapman ranch will be marked with 4-H signs—the green four leaf clover—for the benefit of members and visitors. With the estimated cost apparently less than originally quoted, it is expected water will be available for irrigation purposes at a cost about the same as is now paid generally throughout the district, although engineers figure that when the water actually gets here it will be cheaper. Sugar Beet Growers Form Organization By ERIC E. EASTMAN. Assistant Farm Advisor On Monday evening, April 20, at 7:30 P.M., the sugar beet growers of Southern California (South of the Oxnard area) will convene in the Farm Advisor's office in Santa Ana. This meeting follows the formation of the Southern California Beet Growers Association, which was formed recently at Oxnard. The delegates and newly elected directors at that meeting requested Leo Stuhr, representative of the Federal Farm Board, to send them an experienced man to assist them in the task of enrolling the local growers in the newly formed association.

CORY, Assistant Farm Advisor Herds in the Farm Bureau Cowtesting Association averaged 40.3 pounds of butterfat per cow last month, which is four pounds greater than was the average for March last year. In all 24 herds were tested with 1556 cows, averaging 983 pounds of milk and 40.3 pounds of butterfat. 789 cows averaged over 40 pounds of butterfat for the month and 64 cows were culled out for low production. In the competition classes, Fred Day, Westminster, had high herd in herds of 36 cows and less, with an average of 1146 pounds of milk and 48.6 pounds of butterfat. A. C. Murdy, Smeltzer, came second in this class with an average of 1130 pounds of milk and 46.5 pounds of butterfat. E. A. Wakeham, Garden Grove, had high herd in herds of 35 to 65 cows, with an average of 8982 pounds of milk and 42.6 pounds of butterfat. Leonard DeHoog, Garden Grove, came second in this group with an average of 1072 pounds of milk and 41.9 pounds butterfat. Ostercamp Brothers, Santa Ana, were first in herds of over 65 cows, with an average of 1093 pounds milk and 45.9 pounds butterfat.

WILL ISSUE STREET BONDS The city council at its meeting Tuesday It tried to find out if WAS TICKLISH - WHICH HE WAS SHAVING! 1931 Tourist "Crop" Promising for West Eastern tourist travel into western states during the coming summer season is to be augmented through extension of time during which low summer excursion fares are effective over Southern Pacific lines, according to announcements by E. W. Clapp, general passenger traffic manager for the railroad. Clapp announced that summer exhas been extended from September 30 curation period for westbound travelers to October 15. The September 30 limit has been effect for a number of years. Through this arrangement, it is anticipated that tourist travel into the West will be increased through heavier late-season travel by affording low fares to "late vacationers" throughout all parts of the East. Fares to be established for the summer period will be similar to those in effect during the summer of 1930. Clapp said. Under plans perfected, tickets will be sold from California, Oregon, Nevada, Arizona and New Mexico points to eastern destinations from May 22 to October 15. Westbound, the low fares will go into effect May 15. Return limit on all tickets will be October 31. It is said that the average American So Much to Tell there is so much to tell and so much learn about conditions in every lofty, and teachers have an opportunity to spred the propaganda to "save wild flowers" not only among the children in class-rooms, but, though, to reach hundreds upon hundreds families who spend their Saturdays Sundays plenicking in the most beautiful bits of country which are acceptable to each group. naturally these holiday crowds gather great quantities of flowers and branches of trees which they throw away before reaching home. In the majority of cases there is no intention to destroy the future beauty the hills and fields—but only a nightless burst of enthusiasm which is to wasteful picking until more owners are gathered than can be cared for and enjoyed after the picnic. The request was granted and Geo. Davis was assigned. Mr. Davis' first meeting was at Oxnard on April 7, and farmers farming over 4000 acres of far beets joined the organization at a meeting. The week of the 14th spent in the Lompoc area, with extent results. The final week of Mr. Davis' stay will be in the Santa Ana area. All persons interested in the betting of the sugar beet situation are invited to attend the Monday evening meeting.
