Mauger engineer and financier. Five distinguished American engineers were gathered in Southern California today prepared to consult with officials of the Metropolitan Water District relative to the detailed plans for the construction of the Colorado River Aqueduct. These men compose the membership of the District's Board of Consulting Engineers. They have been called upon by the District Board of Directors to review and report upon the vast volume of aqueduct data and engineering studies that have been prepared under the direct California Farm Products Day Is Set For June 16 by Agricultural Director Moulton Various Civic and County Groups Throughout State Will Be Asked to Cooperate in Making New Venture Success; to Bring Rural Products to Metropolitan Centers Acting upon suggestions from many sources to stimulate home consumption of the state's farm output, the state department of agriculture is to sponsor an annual California Farm Products day. It is proposed to feature the occasion by state-wide gatherings of farmers and consumers, seasonal exhibits of fruits and field crops, special "buy at home" programs and public and private luncheons at which California farm products alone will be served. The first California Farm Products day has been set for Thursday, June 16. "There is no way we can make the contact between urban and rural California more mutually profitable and generally satisfactory than by emphasizing and stimulating our home markets," said Dudley Moulton, director of the department, in announcing the occasion. "We have felt that this could best be done by setting aside one particular day each year when the California consumer may see how completely abundantly and economically the California farmer can take care of his food problem. In projecting such a day we feel that we are not only aiding the farmer and the consumer, but that we White Fly Pest Still Bothering Fight Against It Wins In the Northern Part of State; One Focal Point Is Santa Ana The citrus white fly infestation, one of the most serious hazards to the citrus crops of the state, has been virtually controlled in northern California, but still presents a major problem in southern California, where an intensive campaign is being waged against it. Dudley Moulton, director of the state department of agriculture, said recently, following a survey of the situation. The survey was conducted by David R. Mackie supervisor of entomology in 98,196 Baile Flour Red Cross Autumn of Flour to Needs With Red Cross Pacific area from station office of the cago, A. L. Schafer branch has proved requisition needs of family territory now total. At the same time clinical advices from effect that President proved the second 000,000 bushels of of 10,000,000 bushels the National Red Of this amount 7 been drawn upon stock feed. In the Pacific Cities for flour reorder or 19,639,200 pounds bushels this Red Pacific area alone 475 carloads. At current price at $490,480. In addition to 75 chapters in drama in the Pacific area for 1,127 586 b stockfeed. This generally satisfactory than by emphasizing and stimulating our home markets," said Dudley Moulton, director of the department. In announcing the occasion, "We have felt that this could best be done by setting aside one particular day each year when the California consumer may see how completely abundantly and economically the California farmer can take care of his food problem. In projecting such a day we feel that we are not only aiding the farmer and the consumer, but that we are serving in the general upbuilding of California. We have in this state a potential market for everything that we grow, and it is our plain duty to develop that market by every means in our power." Chambers of commerce, civic clubs, luncheon clubs and private citizens generally will be asked to gather with the farmers of their respective districts for joint discussions of their common problems under the general theme "Build the Home Markets." The Sacramento chamber of commerce has already promised its fullest cooperation boards of supervisors, schools both public and private and all other interested institutions, organizations and individuals will be asked to participate in the activities of the day. The mode of economy will be worked out by having the farmers and consumers meet at their most convenient trading center. Advertisers in newspapers and other publications will be asked to call attention to the day and every other means will be utilized to make it the most outstanding event in California's agricultural history. The whole state will be asked to dress its show windows with the clearest output of orchard and field for California Farm Products day. Merchants will be urged to feature such output in their advertising and speakers will be asked to stress the many advantages of home consumption. ILLINOISANS HOLD PICNIC Former residents of and visitors from Illinois will hold their annual spring picnic and reunion Saturday, April 23, at Sycamore Grove Park, Los Angeles. County registers will be open all day for convenience of those seeking friends and former acquaintances. Northern Part of State; One Focal Point Is Santa Ana The citrus white fly infestation, one of the most serious hazards to the citrus crops of the state, has been virtually controlled in northern California, but still presents a major problem in southern California, where an intensive campaign is being waged against it. Dudley Moulton, director of the state department of agriculture, said recently, following a survey of the situation. The survey was conducted by David B. Mackie, supervisor of entomology in the department, who has just returned from South Pasadena, where the latest outbreak is being fought. Forty-one blocks in that city are being intensively sprayed under the direction of state, county and municipal authorities. In addition, a close watch is being kept at all other points where this particularly destructive pest is threatening an invasion of California's great commercial citrus areas. The local points of the southern infestation now appear to be at Arcadia and Santa Ana, although control measures are being effectively pursued there. The tenacious nature of the infestation and the wide variety of host trees demand continuous surveillance of all of the affected areas., irrespective of whether the usual evidences of the pest are present or not. Mackie said. However the former northern California focal points of Marysville and Oroville have responded to treatment so well that the pest no longer constitutes a major menace in these places. Deer Die From Lack Of Forage, Report Destruction of forage on their winter grazing grounds by a forest fire is believed to have been the principal cause of death by starvation of many deer in the Lassen national forest, according to a report from United States forest rangers received this week by S. B. Show, regional forester for California. In surveying the Dry Creek fire which occurred in August, 1931, the rangers counted 25 dead deer, mostly near Skelton Pasture about 30 miles north of Chico, and saw over 100 live deer all in poor condition. Extension of service policy to whose disabilities nected was announced E. Arne, assistant war service, at that in San Francisco. Policy of home sewage the families of reference to relief. In announcing to all Red Cross the seven westerlies the Pacific Area manager says: "Red Cross charge the same obligation of the service men ward the families ex-service men. "This does not matter must necessitate financial burden. Families of service However, the charity itself the family equipped to admit the families of service not turn these fa agencies except are already the client work agency." DISCONTINUE The railroad conceived Pacific Electric to discontinue the between Los Angeles Fullerton and La day service is to To Study Aqueduct Plans Washington, D.C.—Anybody who can guess what this Congress is going to do is entitled to some sort of a medal. Everything was moving along smoothly, in the most statesmanlike effort on the part of leaders of both parties to straighten out the nation's finances, when the most peculiar combination of radicals of both parties mustered strength enough to smash the whole program. In this curious group the leader was Representative La Guardia of New York who calls himself a Republican. Representative Doughton of North Carolina, Democrat, Representative Byrns, Democrat, of Tennessee, and Representative Ramseyer, Republican, of Iowa, were among the mixed crowd that followed La Guardia's leadership. They definitely knocked the proposed sales tax into a cocked hat; but more serious than that, this breaking away from party control has had a bad effect upon Democratic political hopes. What sort of a tax bill is going to come out, nobody now dares to predict with any attempt at accuracy. Nor is it possible to tell how governmental expenses are going to be reduced. President Hoover in a public statement recently pointed out that more than one-half of the government's annual costs, or more than two billion dollars, is of such a character that it cannot be reduced. "It is largely an inheritance of the great war through increase of payment on government obligations and the care of veterans and their families," the President said. "In addition, our Army and Navy costs about seven hundred million dollars. We should not further reduce the life of Coach Is One Long Turmoil Howard and Tad Jones and Pop Warner to Head Grid School Before Olympiad Although the life of a football coach is popularly supposed to be one of ease except during the fall, Howard Jones of the University of Southern California is rarely without a job on his hands, his plans for the coming months revealed this week. Now engaged in directing spring football practice for the Trojans, Coach Jones will start a series of coaching courses within a few months, to be climaxed by his instruction along with his brother, Tad Jones, former Yale mentor, and Glenn (Pop) Warner of Stanford in the special football coaching course to be presented by the University of Southern California physical education department from July 18 to 29. The dates for this special course have been set for the two weeks preceding the Olympic games in order to give the many high school and college coaches and physical directors who will be here for the Olympiad an opportunity to attend. Because of the proximity of the Olympiad athletes to the Trojan Campus, Prof. William It. La Porte, head of the department of physical education at S.C., has obtained the services of numerous international physical and health education authorities to conduct summer session work at Southern California. Prior to working with Tad Jones and Glenn Warner in the special Trojan summer session football coaching course, Howard Jones will direct courses at Mineral Wells, Texas, from June 13 to 18 and at Superior (Wis.) State Teachers' College from June 20 to July 2. Troy's "head man" in addition to his labors of teaching other coaches has another important summer job, that of organizing and leading the group of 98,196 Barrels of Flour for Pacific Red Cross Authorizes Shipment of Flour to Meet Relief Needs On Coast With Red Cross flour moving into the Pacific area from the wheat distribution office of the organization at Chicago, A. L. Schafer, manager of the Pacific branch has announced that approved requisitions of flour to meet the needs of family relief work in this territory now total 98,196 barrels. At the same time he announced official advices from Washington to the effect that President Hoover has approved the second requisition of 5,000,000 bushels of wheat, making a total of 10,000,000 bushels made available to the National Red Cross for distribution. Of this amount 7,500,000 bushels have been drawn upon, for flour and livestock feed. In the Pacific Coast states, 193 requisitions for flour represent 98,196 barrels or 19,639,200 pounds. On the basis of bushels this Red Cross flour for the Pacific area alone is 687,372 bushels or 475 carloads. At current prices the flour is valued at $490,480. In addition to the orders for flour, 75 chapters in drought affected states in the Pacific area have placed orders for 1,127,586 bushels of processed stockfeed. This represents 37,586,000 pounds or 18,792 tons it possible to tell how governmental expenses are going to be reduced. President Hoover in a public statement recently pointed out that more than one-half of the government's annual costs, or more than two billion dollars, is of such a character that it cannot be reduced. "It is largely an inheritance of the great war through increase of payment on government obligations and the care of veterans and their families," the President said. "In addition, our Army and Navy costs about seven hundred million dollars. We should not further reduce the strength of our defense." That leaves only about one billion three hundred million of the budget figures within which economies can be affected, and what will be done about that nobody knows. Just at the moment this is written it looks as if there were a strong likelihood of passage of a bill to distribute another two billion dollars or more to army veterans. If such a bill is passed it can be safely predicted the President will veto it and that the Republican Senators will muster enough strength to prevent it from being enacted over his veto. The Reconstruction Finance Corporation is on its job and has authorized so far about $240,000,000 of loans to 587 banks and trust companies. 19 building and loan associations. 13 insurance companies. 13 railroads. 2 joint stock land banks. 3 mortgage loan companies, and one livestock credit association, besides lending the Secretary of Agriculture $50,000,000 to be reloaded to farmers on crop security. Reports to the Treasury indicate that the Anti-Hoarding Campaign has brought back into the banks about $157,000,000 which had been held out of use. Those are indications that some of the things done in Washington so far this year have been helpful. But, on the other hand, there is a very violent proposed amendment to the Federal Reserve Act, which they say would be deflationary and would put politicians in control of the banking system, which is the last thing that either the bankers or the public generally want. The strength which Governor Roosevelt of New York is showing in the Democratic primaries leads political observers here to the belief that he will be nominated by the Democratic National Convention, if not on the first ballot then on the second or third. No one else who is being talked of for the nomination is showing any real strength. Speaker Garner is not talking personally about his Presidential boom, but William G. McAdoo, former Secretary of the Treasury, who was an unsuccessful candidate for the nomination in 1924 and 1928, is actively promoting Garner and may be able to Red Cross Broadens War Veteran Work Extension of the Red Cross home service policy to include war veterans whose disabilities are not service-connected was announced yesterday by R. E. Arne, assistant national director of war service, at the Pacific branch office in San Francisco. The liberalization of policy of home service also applies to the families of veterans, with special reference to relief work. In announcing the change of policy to all Red Cross chapters throughout the seven western states, comprising the Pacific Area, A. L. Schafer, branch manager says: "Red Cross chapters should assume the same obligation toward the families of the service men as they assume toward the families of the war-disabled ex-service men. 'This does not mean that the chapters must necessarily bear the entire financial burden, insofar as relief to families of service men is concerned. However, the chapter should consider itself the family agency especially equipped to administer to the needs of the families of service men and should not turn these families over to other agencies except where such families are already the clients of another case-work agency.'" DISCONTINUE SUNDAY SERVICE The railroad commission has authorized Pacific Electric railway company to discontinue the Sunday train service between Los Angeles and Yorba Linda, Fullerton and La Habra. The weekday service is to remain as at present. Expansion of the scope of the work being carried on by the state bureau of contractors' registration is advocated in a resolution adopted recently by the San Francisco electragists and the California electragists, northern chapter, and filed this week with Col. Carlos W. Huntington, registrar of contractors and director of the state department of professional and vocational standards. The resolution endorses the activities of the bureau in regulation of the contracting industry, the promotion of higher ethics and in curbing the activities of the unethical, the unscrupulous and the so-called fly-by-night contractor.

College from June 20 man" in addition to his chaching other coaches hasistant summer job, that of leading the group of Experimental Forest Established at Lassen A 6,000 acre laboratory, known as the Swain experimental forest, where forestry experiments and research can be carried on, has been established near Westwood in the Lassen national forest by order of the chief forester in Washington, according to word received this week by S. B. Show, U. S. regional forester for California. The tract contains over 3,000 acres of red and white fir timberland on which both mature and small trees are available for future experiments in forestry methods of timber cutting, logging and slush disposal. One-fifth of the area is covered with brush fields, the result of repeated fires. Here reforestation will be undertaken by the planting of stock grown at the forest service nursery at Susanville, in order to convert these brush fields into commercial forest. Later, one or more portions of the experimental forest will be selected and designated as "natural forests" and will be left unmolested for the purposes of scientific study. The Swain experimental forest will be under the supervision of the California experiment station of the U. S. forest service. Many Streams Are Closed To Fishing Several New Ones Are Opened for Three-Year Period On Fish, Commission Order Acting under authority granted by the legislature of 1927, the state fish and game commission has prepared a list of streams and lakes in California that they recommend be closed to trout fishing during the coming season. At the same time a number of streams and lakes closed, from one to Elevate Tone of Movies, Is Plea Committee To Meet Sunday Night In Santa Ana To Suggest Methods Recommendations on means and ways of curbing the selection of themes in motion pictures which hold government and its various agencies up to ridicule, and stopping suggestion-carrying pictures destroying the ideals of home life, are scheduled to be submitted Sunday evening at a meeting at the First Methodist church of Santa Ana. Chairman W. A. Taylor was authorized last week to pick a committee of 17 to meet April 17 to submit plans. Purpose of the meeting as explained to approximately 500 attending from all sections of Orange county, was to elevate the tone of motion pictures shown here. Gustavus Schineider, Riverside social worker, was the principle speaker. He flayed motion picture officials for their arrogant attitude and lack of discrimination in choice of subjects and treatment. George Munro, high school boy, suggested federal control might get the desired result; Mrs. F. L. Williams, motion picture chairman of the county federation of women's clubs, promised her group's cooperation. Issues Warning On Building Hospitals Declaring that jails, hospitals and other public institutions must be properly constructed in order to provide protection of inmates from fire or unsanitary conditions. Mrs. Rheba Crawford Splivalo, director of the state department of social welfare, this week served notice upon county supervisors that plans for all institutions must be submitted to that department before construction work starts. "In the planning or construction of Several New Ones Are Opened for Three-Year Period On Fish, Commission Order Acting under authority granted by the legislature of 1927, the state fish and game commission has prepared a list of streams and lakes in California that they recommend be closed to trout fishing during the coming season. At the same time a number of streams and lakes closed, from one to three years past, will be opened to trout fishing at the opening of the season. If the recommendations of the fish and game commission are approved. The action of the commissioners is one of conservation, and their recommendations are based upon a thorough study and survey of sport fishing in California, coupled with suggestions and requests of many protective and sportsmen's associations, whose ideas were given careful consideration. Declaring that jails, hospitals and other public institutions must be properly constructed in order to provide protection of inmates from fire or unsanitary conditions. Mrs. Rheba Crawford Splivalo, director of the state department of social welfare, this week served notice upon county supervisors that plans for all institutions must be submitted to that department before construction work starts. "In the planning or construction of any jail, hospital, home for the aged and feeble or other institution," Mrs. Splivalo said, "adequate provision should be made to safeguard the health of the unfortunate inmates. "Under no circumstances should an institution be erected without ample ventilation, light and other sanitary and safety requirements. Unless these requirements are met, the department of social welfare will refuse to approve the plans for any projected institution." Sunkist exports widen citrus distribution Since 1893 the Exchange has led in the development of foreign markets year the Exchange was founded, one of its first member-associations shipped to England. Queen Victoria herself had fruit from the first shipment and was associated with its handsome appearance and beauty since, the Exchange has appreciated the necessity of widening distribution through development of overseas markets. Exchange established a London agency and an Australian one in 1905. A salaried representative was placed in England in sales were pushed not only in Great Britain but in Germany, France and Russia. Export Europe was interrupted by the war, but was resumed later. Years of flush production as many as a dozen boxes of Exchange fruit have gone to meet the European demand, and an addition of million have been shipped to transcontinental countries. Exchange's foothold in foreign markets given added stability to the domestic market for its members' fruit. Last year full fortune was taken of the established ex-stitutes. Guided by nearly forty years of experience the Exchange is constantly seeking out new markets at home and abroad, so that year after year Exchange growers may receive the highest returns for their crops.
