Shamrock O. K., But Not the Sod Quarantine Service Carefully Removes Earth From Roots of 273 Packages The good old Gaelic custom of shipping shamrock to this country in observance of St. Patrick's day has occasioned a comment by the federal-state quarantine service that the shamrock is more than welcome, but it should not be accompanied by the native Irish sod in which the famed little plant is grown. For many years sentiment has dictated the sending of specimens of shamrock by the Irish people to their kinfolk and friends in this country, the favorite time for such remembrance being around St. Patrick's day. Often this sentiment prompts the sending of not only the shamrock, but the bit of earth in which it is growing. Under quarantine regulations it is necessary that this earth be removed before the shamrock can be delivered, as it may carry serious agricultural pests. The quarantine service reports that 273 packages of the plant were received in the customs mail at San Francisco over St. Patrick's day and in a few instances the shipments were accompanied by the native soil. But in every instance, where the soil was removed, the report says, the leafy portion of the plant was carefully saved and sent on to destination. Meaning that there can be sentiment as well as strictness in the quarantine service. Windbreak Value Told At Meeting 100 Growers Gather at Tustin to Witness Root-Cutting Demonstration Harry Horn Has To Admit Cali Sunshine Is Worth An Occasion Local Man Among Army of Southern California Kidded" by Folks "Back East" About Earth on Evening of March 10; Compare Nebraska In common with other residents of Southern California, Horn has to stand his share of "kidding" from relatives. Late in February Mr. and Mrs. Horn made a hurried driving a small coupe and averaging 53 miles an hour via route they stopped to see Mr. Horn's brother-in-law, Ogallala, Nebraska. Mrs. Horn remained with relatives at Omaha, while Mr. Horn returned to Anaheim just in time to "get in on" the quake. A long-distance telephone call assured Mrs. Horn that her husband was physically well, despite any temporary mental perturbance caused by mother earth's wild dance on the evening of March 10. A few days later, however, Mr. Horn opened a letter from Brother-In-Law Searle of Ogallala, and read the following: "Dear Harry: Put this to music! "Nebraska has sand storms Nebraska has snow Nebraska has real blizzards How well I know; Nebraska has no flowers, It never rains at all But I'll take the blizzards I'll take the snow I'll eat shriveled oranges And dried prunes galore, And give you California, Roses, earthquake and all. "Now, that is dirty, but Will Rogers was honest anyway. "You just missed by one day a very bad storm in Wyoming. They had a high wind, and you know what they would call a high wind when the wind you came through was just called a breeze, snow and cold.

Among the spic chief of the division of the state culture who exp Windbreak Value Told At Meeting 100 Growers Gather at Tustin to Witness Root-Cutting Demonstration ing and management was evidenced last Friday at the windbreak-root cutting demonstration held by the agricultural extension service and citrus department of the farm bureau. About 100 growers were in attendance to see the heavy duty root cutter in operation at the San Joaquin Fruit ranch, east of Tustin. C. V. Newman, manager of the San Joaquin Fruit ranch, explained the economic value of the windbreak, based on the experience of their plantings. He said that protection against wind is essential to the production of quality fruit. In fact, so important is the protection to their properties that every deed to the various properties has a clause that makes the windbreak pertinent to the land and insures its permanency. The tract maintains 25 miles of windbreaks, which are regularly irrigated, fertilized and root pruned. J. H. Bray, manager of the Frances Citrus association, which owns and operates the root cutting outfit, described the machine. It is a giant subscriber built of heavy duty steel structure that is capable of cutting roots to a depth of 48 to 52 inches. It is drawn by a 120 H. P. tractor. The cutter was made by the Towner Manufacturing company of Santa Ana. Harold Brewer, member of the farm bureau citrus department spoke of the value of community windbreak systems and urged that more attention be given to improving the production of quality fruit by providing the necessary protection from the desert winds. He cited the remarkable experience of Fontana farms. They have planted 450 miles of windbreaks, which have changed the climate in the individual orchards. Wind velocity has been reduced 75% by the presence of their extensive systems of Eucalyptus plantings. The Yorba Linda Citrus association, in cooperation with the Yorba Linda farm center and extension service, has polled orders for enough Eucalyptus seedlings this season to plant about 15 miles of windbreaks. This is a good move, he said, that might be emulated by other Orange county communities.

"Now, that is dirty, but Will Rogers was honest anyway. "You just missed by one day a very bad storm in Wyoming. They had a high wind, and you know what they would call a high wind when the wind you came through was just called a breeze, snow and cold. That was the balance of the week after you left. Then about the time we went to Omaha, they had a wet snow from here west, and the roads were blocked out of here west for about three days. I guess it was real bad in eastern Wyoming and Western Nebraska. It did not bother us any on our trip as the first snow we found on our way back was about ten miles east of Ogallala, and of course that was about all gone. "You made good time going home ... We had a letter from Eloise telling about your phone call. She said your building had some cracks. Gee, that is fine that you are not damaged more. It must be terrible, but you know the good old California sunshine is worth something. "Tell your people there that we take a bigger loss per capita every time we have a blizzard than Southern California took on the quake. Every time we have a blizzard we use an extra ton of coal, lose a week's business and the old overhead goes right on during the week. So cheer up... Don't know why, but we keep getting a little (business) right along... not bad for no crops, no banks and no money." Arvil Morris Wins Scholastic Honors A. Arvil Morris of Anaheim received no grade less than "B" during the first semester of the 1932-33 academic school year at the University of Southern California it was revealed following the announcement of the Trojan scholarship honor roll just released by Theron Clark, U.S.C. registrar. Heading the honor list were eight students who made no grade less than "A" for the semester which ended in February. 170 Trojan students were included in the "B" list. Coeds etaged a flip-and-tuck race with the men students for scholastic honors. Out of the 170 students with no grade less than "B" the honors were even with both sexes placing 85 representatives, but the count showed five coeds having all "A's" while only three men managed to appear in the straight "A" column.

Local Residents On Extensive Tour Mr. and Mrs. Archie Henry Jr. of Anaheim left with Mrs. Henry's mother, Mrs. Charles R. McGee for Detroit, where they are scheduled to meet Mr. McGee, who is flying from Maracalbo, Venezuela. According to plans announced before their departure, they plan to purchase an automobile at Detroit, motor to New York, Washington, D.C., Philadelphia, Baltimore and other Eastern points, returning here about June 1. The McGees will take an apartment here for the summer, with Mr. McGee returning to his position with the Caribbean Petroleum company in Venezuela. Spring Travel Is Showing Increase With the official advent of Spring, the young man's fancy and his elder's desire instinctively turns to travel, for young and old yearn to see what's around the turn or over the hill, according to the musings of J. H. Harrington, our local Motor Transit agent. "Travel records of our company show that with the settling weather comes a joyous season of highway travel," remarked agent Harrington today, "and the magic of spring is reflected in the itching feet that seek Motor Transit coaches for journeys afield in response to the call of the open road. "Now fields are green, the orchards abloom and even the deserts transformed into a riot of color. Now every mile is a colorful picture, every curve a new panorama, every minute an enjoyable experience, every trip a carefree journey over smooth and scenic highways." To Admit California’s North An Occasional Quake of Southern Californians “Getting Back East” About Earth’s Wild Dance 10; Compare Nebraska Blizzard Mrs. Horn made a hurry-up trip to Omaha,aging 53 miles an hour while on the road. Entr. Horn’s brother-in-law, Rector E. Searle, of Plan Control On State Pear Crop Growers of Northern Counties Gather to Discuss Proposal at Lakeport The nucleus of a state-wide pear control plan was developed at a recent meeting in Lakeport of agriculturists from seven northern California counties. The meeting which is known as the annual Lakeport Institute, was well attended and disposed of a number of subjects relating to the agricultural problems of this section of the state. Tribute was paid to the pear growers along the Sacramento river for the progress made in their organization and control might be extended throughout the industry. The possibility of providing for adequate pear control from a legislative standpoint was also discussed in detail. A number of the speakers felt that the time was ripe for the state to take a hand in such control through legislative enactments. Among the speakers was C. J. Carey, chief of the division of market enforcement of the state department of agriculture who explained the close relationship of the agricultural welfare of Navel, Valencia Agreements Made Three-fourths of Both Crops Represented, Awaiting Signatures of 90 Per Cent After unanimous approval by the California Fruit Growers Exchange board of directors of the navel and valencia Stabilization Agreements proposed by the farm bureau, the Exchange, representing almost three-fourths of the state orange crop, signed the agreements Wednesday and is ready to immediately begin proringating and regulating shipments with other marketing groups to whom the same agreements have been submitted by the farm bureau, according to an official statement from Paul Armstrong, general manager of the Exchange. “The Exchange has been given complete authority by the recent agreements signed by its own orange packing associations, to definitely regulate its own shipments as well as to cooperate with others, and we are not only ready, but eager to begin a state-wide regulation of shipments in order to improve the returns to our growers, both on navels and valencias,” said Mr. Armstrong. “This farm bureau stabilization agreement covers everything that has been proposed in the many discussions and conferences held by packing house managers and marketing groups during the past few weeks. It takes care of loose fruit as well as packed fruit,” said Mr. Armstrong, “and the only thing remaining to put it into immediate operation is the signature of enough marketing groups outside the Exchange to bring 90 per cent or more of the state crop under the plan. “Exchange orange associations have indicated their confidence in the ability of the central Exchange board to act for them in proringating shipments within the Exchange and in cooperation with other shippers, just as Exchange New-Comers Are Now Classified Calibre of Persons Coming to California Seen by Auto Survey Definite figures on the calibre of persons who entered California during the past winter by automobiles were contained in a survey filed recently by A. A. Brock, director of the California department of agriculture. “Evidence of the success of warnings as sounded by community advertising organizations against jobless migrating here in search of employment is shown as a result of the survey,” said Director Brock. “The survey shows that a total of 4571 out-of-state motor arrivals were interviewed at the Blythe, Daggett, Yermo and Yuma state border quarantine stations during recent periods and that 93.3 per cent were well-financed tourists coming to spend the winter season in California and were not interested in employment here. "Only 2.4 per cent of arrivals were coming in search of employment, but were financed for the return home if unsuccessful. Of the total, only 3.8 per cent were poorly financed. "The few seeking employment stated they were 'coming at the suggestion of friends and relatives residing in California' while others gave their reasons for migrating here as the result of 'news in the East of large public construction projects in this area.'" nation of surplus fruit on the basis that we sell all the fruit we can of grades and sizes that will bring the most money, and keep the balance at home." In recommending the stabilization agreement for immediate signature, the Exchange general manager commented on the untiring and effective work done by the farm bureau joint stabilization committee headed by Dr. D. D. Waynick, Anaheim, and-the following other Pork Consumption Grows During 1932 Little Drop Shown in Killings for Cattle, Calves and Sheep From 1931 Meat consumption in California declined but little during 1932, and in one instance, that of pork, there was an actual and substantial increase over 1931, according to the annual report of the division of animal industry, state department of agriculture. Price trends were generally unfavorable for the producer and processors, but evidently the energetic sales and educational methods followed by the industry kept consumption on a fairly even keel, the report shows. This good showing was maintained in spite of the tightening up of inspection activities, occasioned by the going into operation of the state meat inspection act on April 1, 1932. This made state inspection mandatory in counties of 27,000 population and over. The cattle prepared for consumption numbered 809,596 for 1932 as against 818,173 for 1931. The calves numbered 431,932 for 1932 as against 475,001 for 1931. The drop in sheep was even less pronounced, the figures being 2,710,908 for 1932, as against 2,798,230 for 1931. There were nearly 100,000 more hogs prepared in 1932 than in 1931, the actual figures being 1,921,263 and 1,828,090 for the two years, respectively, a difference of 93,173 in favor of last year. The good showing made by the industry is regarded by the department of agriculture as a tribute to its deter- news in the East of large public construction projects in this area."
