Big Fete "Back to the Farm" is to be the theme of the annual picnic day held at Davis' at the Branch of the college of agriculture by University of California students on Saturday, April 16. In making this announcement, Gene Scarnella, chairman of the picnic day committee, says invitations have been sent to surrounding towns asking their cooperation in carrying out the idea. Chambers of commerce, service clubs and other civic organizations are invited to enter floats which will depict the agriculture of their districts. Prizes are to be awarded for the best float entered in this section of the parade. And Scarnella says indications are that there will be more than a dozen entries. Invitations have been sent to high schools in all parts of the state to participate in the agricultural judging contests on Friday, April 15, the day preceding the picnic day celebration, and in the track meet on Saturday. It is expected that some 2,500 representatives of high schools will participate in these events. "Man" Is Subject At Lesson-Sermon "Man" is the subject of the Lesson-Sermon on Sunday in all barnches of The Mother Church; The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Mass. Among the Scriptural citations in the Lesson-Sermon are these verses from Jeremiah: "Thus saith the Lord; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the Lord. For he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good cometh; but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, in a salt land and not inhabited. Blessed is the man that trusteth in the Lord, and whose hope the Lord is. For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit." A correlative selection from the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," by Mary Baker Eddy, states: "In Science man is the offspring of Spirit . . . Spirit is his primitive and ultimate source of being; God is his Father, and Life is the law of his being." BABY CHICKS—This is a Leghern year.

MERC (Incumbent) For City Clerk ELECTION MONDAY APRIL 11, 1932 400 Attend Big Avocado School Institute Declared Successful As Problems Discussed By Experts Four hundred avocado growers from all parts of Southern California attended the second annual institute held last Friday and Saturday at Tustin high school, under the auspices of the agricultural extension service, University of California, and the inter-county avocado department of the farm bureau. The two days' sessions featured cultural and economic data presented by authoritative speakers from the University and the marketing association. Subjects included pest control, soil management, fertilizers, production costs and marketing. It was brought out that the trend of production is rapidly upward. The 1931 production handled by the marketing exchange was about 4,000,000 pounds. Present acreage will conservatively bear 30,000,000 pounds in 1942, ten years hence, according to estimates made from a recent survey of the 12,000 acres now planted in California. Costs Vary The orchard with good trees planted on deep soil and supplied with ample amounts of fertilizer and properly irrigated will be able to produce fruit at a cost within the more conservative returns that will be experienced at that time. It will become necessary to produce good fruit at a minimum cost. Farm Advisor Walberg showed data accumulated in Orange county during the past two years that some orchards are producing avocados at one-half the cost per pound that other orchards are. There is considerable room for reducing cultural costs in some orchards. A. E. Stokdyk from the Glennini foundation, reported on a study made of avocado sales and distribution by the Calavo Growers of California. He emphasized the value and importance of cooperation among growers in the handling of their fruit. "As time goes Supervisors Take Up Anaheim Plan (Continued from Page 1) Homer S. Cummings, former Chairman of the Democratic National Committee, is organizing the Roosevelt-for-President campaign. His Connecticut Yankee from Stamford. 2 Weeks Left To File Income Tax Returns To Date Indicate That Southern California is the "White Spot" Galen H. Welch, collector of internal revenue issued warning this week that only two weeks remain within which to file income tax returns for 1931 without penalty for delinquency. The last day for filing is March 15, 1932. The collector's office 939 South Broadway, Los Angeles, and all branch offices will be open until midnight on March 15. Collector Welch points out that taxpayers can receive more attention and help from his deputies by coming in at once. In the last minute rush it is impossible to give much time to any one taxpayer. Supervisors Take Up Anaheim Plan (Continued from Page 1) the county treasury. Supervisor Schumacher, in reply, stated that the supervisors would be delighted to have some body find funds for which the county was not obligated. Despite this turmoil, motion of Fullerton's Rev. B. D. Snudden in support of the supervisors was approved. Anahelin's Mayor L. E. Miller's motion for support of an oil tariff was defeated not because of adverse sentiment, but because it was considered extraneous to the purpose of the meeting. Several proposals for relief were submitted. Santa Ana's Rob Spel urge a committee to visit the wealthy to raise funds for the unemployed but no action was taken. Fullerton's Da Jones, Chairman of the American Legion's county find-a-job committee reported that permanent work for 147,000 men had been found nationally that Orange county employers looked with favor on the plan. Seasonal employment within a month will lessen unemployment considerably. Praise Anahelin Plan Anahelin's Joe Elliott, originator of the local relief plan which has received consideration from such high authorities as President Hoover's unemployment relief chairman, Walter S. Gifford outlined the method of its working and called upon Dr. Johnston to give results found by an investigation of the plan's functioning in Anaheim. Dr. Johnston reported that questionnaire was submitted to 20 merchants, 144 replying as follows: 12 accepted vouchers, 19 had received none; 48 no embarrassment; 5 had difficulty with them; 26 testified business increased, 52 saw no increase; 29 were favorable; 3 opposed others neutral in conclusion, he said that "The Anaheim plan appears to me to offer the speediest avenue for relief." Secretary D. M. Reynolds of the federal unemployment committee of Southern California and his assistant have investigated the plan, he said, and found it good, recommending with Farm Advisor Walberg showed data accumulated in Orange county during the past two years that some orchards are producing avocados at one-half the cost per pound that other orchards are. There is considerable room for reducing cultural costs in some orchards. A. E. Stokdyk from the Giannini foundation, reported on a study made of avocado spies and distribution by the Calavo Growers of California. He emphasized the value and importance of cooperation among growers in the handling of their fruit. "As time goes on," he said, "the heavy increased production will necessitate greater cooperation among the growers if the industry is to command returns to more than pay cost of production." Progress In Pest Control Headway is being made on pest control, according to Prof. H. J. Quayle, entomologist, citrus experiment station. Fungation methods are being devised for control of the scale pests that are on the upward trend in Southern California. A demonstration at the San Joaquin fruit ranch, staged by the American Cyanamid company, showed how light tents are used over large trees in using dust cyanide fumigation for the control of latania scale. Stops were made at the B. H. Sharpless grove, Tustin, to observe top-working of old trees, and at the Sherman Stevens grove on Lemon Heights to demonstrate irrigation problems on the side hill.

Davis Friday evening was installed as scoutmaster of Troop 71, following resignation of E. E. Lindberg because of pressure of private affairs. Mr. Lindberg, however, remains as assistant scoutmaster for the troop and will devote what time he can to helping the scoutmaster. Davis was installed at a corner of the troop held in the center street. Scout Troop Committee on George D. Ehrle and E. R. Duering, and Scout Commissioner Vernon Guen spoke to the boys. Entertainment consisted of various games, including some wrestling bouts put on by members of the troop. Chili beans were served after the meeting. Galen H. Welch, collector of internal revenue issued warning this week that only two weeks remain within which to file income tax returns for 1931 without penalty for delinquency. The last day for filing is March 15, 1952. The collector's office 939 South Broadway, Los Angeles, and all branch offices will be open until midnight on March 15. Collector Welch points out that taxpayers can receive more attention and help from his deputies by coming in at once. In the last minute rush it is impossible to give much time to any one taxpayer. The rates of tax are the same as last year. Every single person having a net income of $1500.00 or more must file a return; every married person having a net income of $3500.00 or more must also file a return. Every person married or single having a gross income of $5000.00 or more must file a return regardless of the amount of net income. Every corporation must file a return regardless of income or loss as must also every partnership. At least one-fourth of any tax due must be paid when the return is filed. Collector Welch states that the number of income tax returns received to this date indicates that Southern California was the "White spot" in 1931. He urges every person, firm and corporation liable to a return of income tax to file the same at once to avoid the penalties imposed by law for delinquency.

Water Run-Off To Sea 5700-Acre Feet; Less Than For 12 Seasons Hydrographs Prepared by Flood Control Engineer Show Most Researched Abstraction for Suburban Reservoirs; Water Run-Off To Sea 5700-Acre Feet; Less Than For 12 Seasons Hydographs Prepared by Flood Control Engineer Show Most Remarkable Absorption for Subterranean Reservoirs; Unusually Heavy Rainfall Recorded, Less Water Lost Departments twice the normal rainfall to date this season, the amount of water flowing to the sea from Orange county is given at 6700-acre feet, which is well below the average for the last dozen years. Flightes shown on hydographs prepared by Resident Engineer Murray, Thompson of the Orange County Flood Control district, show that 45,000-acre feet of water was measured this year, with a large share of it going to the subterranean reservoirs. Three times this season the peak of floods has reached above 4000 second feet, the first time on December 29, 1931, when it reached 4100 feet for one hour. The other two occasions were during the last storm of February 8 to 11, when the run-off reached 4100 second feet at 4 a.m. on February 9, then receded to 3300 second feet at 8 a.m., but swollen to 5 p.m. to the record mark of 4200 second feet. The first storm of the year, February 1 to 4, saw comparatively small runoff, 500 second feet being the high water mark. Heavy Absorption Measurements taken at the county line near Prado and at Fifth street, Santa Ana, disclose the extensive absorption of flood water by the stream bed. The 45,000-acre feet total run-off at the county line had dropped to 5700-acre feet at Santa Ana. The difference of 38,300-acre feet does not represent the absorption according to Engineer Thompson, who points out that the figure must be reduced to allow for considerable evaporation, besides water diverted by the two major water companies last fall. Thompson's hydrograph shows that the crest of a flood at the county line requires from five to seven hours to reach Santa Ana. The last storm, that of February 8 to 11, was by far the largest in point of run-off, and Thompson's calculations show that about 1000-acre feet of water was absorbed by the stream bed during that period. Low Run-Off The monthly run-off this year, to February 14 is below the average for the last 12 years, since river measurements have been taken. It is said. February 1 to 14 recorded a run-off of 16,600 acres feet, as compared to 21,500 for the entire month of February's average January, this year, had a run-off of 9100 as compared to the 12-year average of 15,473. Other months' records corresponded. The decline in run-off resulted despite the increase in rainfall in Orange county this year. Anahoin's rainfall mark of 13.61 inches on February 14, was well above the S.S.I average for that date during the last 23 years. It exceeded in fact, the entire seasonal average rainfall for 23 years, which is 12.46 in Anahoin. The 25-year rainfall average to January 1 is 6.31, the rainfall to that date this year being 7.63. The average monthly run-off of the Santa Ana river, measured at the county line for the last 12 years, is as follows: October 5622-acre feet, January 15,413, February 21,500, March 16,388, April 1827, May 8423, June 5218, July 3728, August 3296, September 3728. The annual run-off average for 12 years is 11.559 acres feet. ATWATER KENT---- GOLDEN VOICE COMPACT $72.50 FEARN— Easy Parking, 273 E.
