California May Go Into Water Business If Constitutional Amendment Is Passed Assemblyman Ted Craig of Brea, Member of Committee, Explains Workings of Proposed Action; Defends Act Against Arguments Brought by Governor’s Committee If the proposed constitutional amendment being worked out by a joint water conservation committee and scheduled to be voted upon March 18 by the state legislature, passes the legislature and wins the support of California voters at the next general election, this state will go into the water business on a grand scale. Assemblyman Ted Craig of Brea, a member of the joint senate and legislature committee to study the problem, outlines the proposed amendments affects thusly: The amendment would give the state eminent domain proceedings for the purpose of taking surplus water (to be determined by the legislature) from one watershed and transferring it to another; would give the state unlimited right to finance and promote water districts considered feasible, to contract with local water districts, or otherwise promote by lending money to water districts approved by it. While the amendment is opposed by the governor’s committee, which objects to the unlimited aid clause, Assemblyman Craig defends the proposal because, he says, such limitation would prevent development of low-assessed areas which need only water for a higher-assessed valuation. Again, the governor’s committee opposes the right of eminent domain, which Craig defends by stating that unless the state has the means to get water, such steps would be useless. This clause doesn’t establish a right to the water, no matter how long a district uses it, so long as the natural watershed area, which has primary consideration, might develop a need for it. Ask Lengthening Of Duck Season If recommendations of the state fish and game commissioners are adopted by the United States biological survey, relative to bag and possession limits and open season, there will be a general cutting down of possession limits and a lengthening of the duck season over the past year. The commission, at its first March meeting in San Francisco, passed a resolution asking the biological survey to fix the duck shooting season at two months, opening Nov. 1 and closing Dec. 31. This is a month longer than last year. This will apply to the entire state. It was further resolved that the bag limit be 15 birds a day, and that a number a person could possess at one time be the same as the bag limit. Last season hunters were not molested if they possessed up to 30 duck at one time, which was then permitted by federal regulations, although the daily limit was 15. The basis for the requests of the Commission were reports received on migratory water fowl from state game wardens, duck clubs, duck experts, state and private. The limit on geese was put at four of any specie, there being no occasion, the Commissioners declared, why there should be any distinction made as to the kind of wild goose killed. A further request was included in the resolutions, that the Pacific coast be set aside as a different zone from the EYES EXAMINED—GLASSED FITTED MOMER A. NELSON, Opt. D.

"I had to lose my job before I realized the value of regular saving. Then I saw the reason for paying myself a part of my earnings. "Now that I'm back in the harness and still in the clear—watch me make a deposit in the bank EVERY pay day." How would you meet such an emergency—any emergency? Everyone needs a savings reserve equal at least to six months’ income. Build your savings account toward this definite goal. Deposit in the bank at least 10 per cent of your earnings every month. And some day when you need ready money—you’ll be glad! An interest-bearing savings account with Bank of America gives you credit rating in 243 communities throughout California. BANK OF AMERICA NATIONAL TRUST & SAVINGS ASSOCIATION In The News THIS WEEK Had "Little Tin Box" Thomas M. Farley, Sheriff of New York County, could not explain to investigators where he got $350,000 which he said came out of "a little tin box," so Governor Roosevelt removed him. Europe's Loveliest Fertilizer Sales In 1931 Decrease California Shows Smallest Drop In Nation; Classified Totals Given California growers used a total of 132,177 tons of fertilizers during 1931 in order to enrich the soil on the lands and maintain their productivity. Director of Agriculture Dudley Moulton announced recently. While slightly below the peak level of 142,489 tons used during 1930, the fertilizer sales for 1931 were the second largest in the history of the state. Simultaneously, Moulton warned growers to buy fertilizers only from licensed dealers and reiterated his warning that fertilizer dealers and salesmen must obtain their 1932 licenses immediately. The drop in the use of fertilizers in California is hailed as the smallest percentage decline in the nation, large reductions being reported in many other agricultural states. The fertilizer sales for 1931, segregated by products, follow: mixed goods 41,743 tons; sulphate of ammonia 27,014 tons; fish mean and tankage 11,943 tons; blood 7,057 tons; calcium nitrate and nitrate of lime 5,769 tons; packing house tankage 5,533; nitrate of soda 3,690 tons; superphosphate 2,889 tons; Ammonium phosphate 2,799; bones 1,969 tons; cottonseed meal 1,801 tons; potash salts 809 tons; seed meals (other than cottonseed) 654 tons; Cal urea 194 tons; guano 115 tons; ammonium sulphate nitrate 85 tons; urea 71 tons; miscellaneous 10,382 tons and unsegregated fertilizers 7,660 tons. Forester Frowns On Light-Burning Warns Ranchers Against the Menace to Forested and Brush Areas Forester Frowns On Light-Burning Warns Ranchers Against the Menace to Forested and Brush Areas So-called "light-burning" in forested and brush areas of California is unlawful, and violators will be vigorously prosecuted. This was announced by State Forester M. B. Pratt, who explained that the state board of forestry was on record, in a resolution adopted late last year, as opposed to the principle of light burning. "It if a rancher wants to clear his own land with fire," said Pratt, "he should be given a permit, providing he agrees to confine the fire to his own property and not jeopardize that of his neighbors. But it is not the business of the state to be a party to clearing by fire any more than to assist the rancher in grubbing up his brush. The state division of forestry cannot set fires in one section and suppress them in another, and expect to maintain the proper attitude of the public against fire." County Cares For Two-Thirds of Sick Appalling Cost of Charity Cases Is Pointed Out by Economist Orange county taxpayers are supporting 65.08 per cent of this county's hospital cases. This was revealed recently in a study made by Economist John M. Peirce of the California Taxpayers' association. He found that 40 per cent of the general hospital facilities of the state carries 49 per cent of the patients. Orange county hospitals have 529 beds, with a yearly average of 292 patients; 190 of these occupy beds at the county hospital. Peirce points out that county hospitals invariably are more crowded than private institutions, and this brings the percentage of patients dependent upon charity to a still larger figure than the proportion of beds. He also said that while the state made in a straight long strip or with the ends slightly flaring as in the usual ascot scarf. Usually there are stripes of bright, contrasting colors arranged so that they meet at an angle down the center of the scarf. Sometimes only two colors are combined or there may be three. Red, green and brown is a smart combination that goes well with a brown coat or dress. Or you may choose two tones of green and one of brown, or green with beige and brown, or brown with Spanish tile. The smartness of these new knitted hats depends of course to a great extent on the way they are worn and every girl must do a little experimenting to see exactly how to tilt her own hat in the most becoming manner. Usually they are drawn down on the right side, showing much of the forehead and some of the hair at the left side. California Fights Quarantine Move Corn Borer, Pine Blister Rust and Japanese Beetle Let-Down Fought Proposals to remove the federal interstate quarantine restrictions against four plant diseases will be opposed by California fruit growers, nurserymen and farmers. This was apparent when Dudley Moulton, director of the state department of agriculture, announced that A. C. Fleury, chief quarantine officer, would represent California at hearings on the proposed let-down in quarantine bars, to be held in Washington, March 24. Fears Corn Borer Hearings will be held on proposals to remove the federal domestic quarantine restrictions on the European corn borer. By ERIC E. EASTMAN Assistant Farm Advisor Potato growers are urged to treat their seed potatoes before planting in order that scab, black curl, and rhizoclonia may be controlled. Treatments for the control of seed borne diseases have been improved and simplified. It has been found that seed treatments should be undertaken before sprouting and prior to cutting. Various methods of seed treatment are in use. Probably the most common method is a corrosive sublimate dissolved in two quarts of hot water, to which is added thirty gallons of cold water for the dipping. Only wood, enamel ware, or concrete vessels should be used. This solution weakens with use, however, and for this reason one ounce of dissolved sublimate to each 30 gallons of solution should be prepared after four lots of seed have been treated. The standard length of time for dipping is one and one-half hours. The dipping period may be reduced to one-half hour if the tubers have been dipped or sprinkled with water and covered with burlapacks so as to keep moist for a day or two before being dipped in the corrosive sublimate. Lee Trading Company Navajo Trading Post Change of name from the Lee Tire company to the Lee Trading Company, and address from 629 South Los Angeles street to 718 South Los Angeles street, was announced this week by Manager F. H. Lee and his son, Earl Lee, as the company moved into its own building, recently completed. In addition to handling Lee tires, the company has become a trading post for the Kerley Indian Traders, who operate licensed trading posts in the Navajo Indian Reservation in northern Arizona. Formal opening of the firm in its new location, together with its change of name, will be held next week, with especial emphasis on Saturday, March 6. Manager Lee this week invited local residents to inspect the new quarters, Cost Appalling "In spite of the fact that charity cases generally taken care of by county institutions are more or less immobile, they frequently migrate to counties where the best service is given in tax-supported hospitals. "In view of the foregoing the relatively large burden borne by the taxpayers toward maintenance of hospital service is in a sense appalling. The law states specifically that the taxpayers shall support the indigent poor. On the other hand, it does not seem reasonable, judging from the number of patients in tax-supported hospitals, that 49 percent of our population must seek charity when in need of hospital care. "This fact emphasizes the need of greater precaution in determining the eligibility of persons seeking admission to our county hospitals. The taxpayers should be asked to support none other than those in dire need of public charity." Imperial Highway Meet at Brea Mar. 25 Residents of Brea and northern Orange county will get some first-hand information about the proposed Imperial highway from El Segundo (near Redondo Beach), through Brea to the Imperial valley when the Imperial Highway association meets at Brea Friday, March 25. The American Legion Auxiliary of Brea will serve dinner to visiting highway officials. This was apparent when Dudley Moulton, director of the state department of agriculture, announced that A. C. Fleury, chief quarantine officer, would represent California at hearings on the proposed let down in quarantine bars, to be held in Washington, March 24. Fears Corn Borer Hearings will be held on proposals to remove the federal domestic quarantine restrictions on the European corn borer, the white pine blister rust and the Japanese beetle. "Although none of these plant diseases have as yet made their appearance in California," Director Moulton said. "It is very important to the growers that every effort be made to prevent their entrance into the state. There must be no let down in this quarantine. Should these diseases gain a foothold in California ranches, serious economic losses to growers would result. Asks Blister Protection "The European corn borer is now in Ohio and Indiana and is spreading gradually. The borer attacks cotton as well as corn, and may cause considerable damage if it gets in the southern states or the California cotton districts." Moulton said that the Japanese beetle is now centralized in central Pennsylvania, where it is doing more damage than any other single insect. An orchard infested with this beetle has its leaves defoliated and the fruit eaten from the tree. "Were the beetle to attack the peach trees in California the pits would be the only things left on the trees," he said. Belief that California's representatives would be able to have the regulation on the white pine blister rust extended was voiced by Moulton. The blister rust is now situated in Oregon, about 100 miles north of the state line. Hearings will also be held on a proposal to let down the interstate restrictions on narcissus bulbs. However, it was pointed out that narcissus bulbs shipped into California are subjected to rigid quarantine inspection and treatment. Bar Texas Fruit As Mexican Fly Found With the discovery of several light infestations of the Mexican fruit fly in Texas, federal and state authorities moved to guard against the pest being brought into California. While Dudley Moulton, director of the state department of agriculture, ordered the confiscation of Texas citrus fruits found in automobiles or ships entering California, federal authorities established quarantine regulations to control the shipments of citrus fruits from the infested areas in Texas. California's border quarantine officers were instructed by A. C. Fleury, Chief quarantine officer to seize and immediately destroy all Texas citrus fruits being brought into the state, as a precautionary measure. Heretofore Texas citrus fruits have been barred from shipment into California because of the citrus canker, but the owner was given an opportunity to ship the fruit out of the state. Walnut Growers Are Interested In Meet Walnut growers and ranchers of northern Orange county this week displayed considerable interest in the Orange County Historical society meeting to be held at the Santa Ana Ebell Society clubhouse, French and Seventh streets, Friday evening at 7:30 o'clock when Harry W.
