Seek $2,000,000 From U.S. Government for Development of Newport Harbor Hearing Held Monday Afternoon at Beach With Civic and Industrial Leaders of County Appearing to Present Arguments for Project; Army Engineer Has It Under Advisement Major W. H. Lannigan, engineer for the United States war department, this week has under consideration arguments and reasons why the government should spend $2,000,000 in development of Newport Beach harbor. The hearing was held Monday afternoon in the Newport city council chambers, with various civic and industrial leaders of the county appearing on behalf of the project. Chickens Stolen From Joe Miranda Joe Miranda of Anaheim R. F. D. No. 3 went to visit his wife at a hospital Sunday evening. A number of children were playing near his home when he left. When he returned the children said they did not see the thief or thieves who entered the Mirando coup and stole upwards of 50 Rhode Island chickens. Ald is sought under the national industrial recovery act. City Engineer R. F. Henderson of Newport Beach recommended that the west jetty be extended 760 feet out into the ocean and the east yetty 920 feet. He advocated a turning-basin of 30 acres above Bay island with a dept of 15 feet as low water. Further recommendations were the widening of the main channel, its full length, to 200 feet with a depth of 20 feet at low water. George Raymer, secretary of the Santa Ana Chamber of Commerce declared that he was handicapped in bringing industry to Orange county because of the limited facilities of the harbor. He said many of these industries could still be brought here if the harbor were made passable. He pointed out that the Pittsburgh Plate Glas company, which contemplates locating a plant in Santa Ana, would ship 60 per cent of its output through the harbor should it be improved. Rayner also stressed the value of Newport harbor as a pleasure yacht center. United Support All coast cities urged improvement of the harbor and promised support through Mayor Frank Champion of Laguna Beach. Mayor Hermann Hilmer of Newport Beach declared that Newport Beach, Orange county and prominent citizens already had expended more than $200,000 on the harbor and its entrance without one cent of government aid and warned that work would have to cease unless substantial assistance was furnished by the federal government. California's shopping house have less money to spend over years, but they'll actually get it—in food value, quality and general palatability—other time in the state's housewives everywhere, get a bigger dollar's worth products," if they buy California commodities. The "big values for law" according to A. A. Brock the state department of will come as a result of graded and strengthened acts, adopted by the recorder and signed by Governor B. And the higher standard at the request of the farm itself as one of California frontal attacks on depressors for favor in world markets separate bills were enacting specific commodities and two amending general in the general move to boost sales by improved production. California oranges, already the four-corners of the maize will be sweeter as one "new deal," senate bill 1 creased the maturity valencias throughout the navels grown in the south Standards also were tighten frost-damaged fruitments. Marking requirements tended and standard corn made compulsory, unless ed "irregular container."

Mayor Hermann Hilmer of Newport Beach declared that Newport Beach, Orange county and prominent citizens already had expended more than $200,000 on the harbor and its entrance without one cent of government aid and warned that work would have to cease unless substantial assistance was furnished by the federal government. Support for the improvement movement from the citrus industry was assured by Ralph McFadden of the farm bureau. Supervisor George Jeffrey presented a letter signed by the board of supervisors recommending that the work be done and termed it one of the best moves that could be made on the Pacific coast by the national industrial recovery administration. Graham Bros., rock and gravel company, declared through its representative that business of its company had been hampered considerably because of the shallowness of the entrance to the harbor. Congressman Approves Congressman Sam Collins entered his word of approval as the representative of Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino counties, and said he considered it worthy of consideration by the government. He pointed out that no other project could do as much good for this section of the country as this one. Among other speakers were George McLeod, secretary of the Newport Chamber of Commerce, who declared that property values in Newport had increased from seven to 16 millions in the last 10 years and would be materially increased if government aid was forthcoming in harbor improvements. A. B. Roussell, realtor, claimed yacht and regatta clubs were desirous of a larger harbor due to the fact that they could not bring large boats through the entrance at the present time.

Goodrich Cavaliers Two Gatherings Will Be Held on July 14; One at Orange, Other at Fullerton Two pest control conferences for Orange county citrus growers have been arranged by the agricultural extension service to be held coincident with the opening of the general spray and fumigation campaign to control citrus insect pests in the citrus orchards throughout the county. The present condition of scale infestation in Orange county orchards will be reviewed by Dixon Tubbs, agricultural commissioner, who has charge of the pest control work in the county. Ralph Smith, entomologist at the citrus experiment station, will discuss developments in double treatment and some new angles in spray control. Harold Compers, entomologist, who has recently returned from a quest in Abyssinia, Africa, for parasites of the red scale, has been invited to tell the growers what the possibilities are of parasitical control for red scale in Orange county. The two meetings will be held at Orange and Fullerton for the convenience of growers in both the north and south ends of the county. The Orange meeting will be held in the auditorium of the Orange union high school at 10:00 a.m., Friday, July 14; and the Fullerton meeting is scheduled at 2:00 p.m., the same day at the Fullerton union high school auditorium, according to Farm Advisor Harold E. Wahlberg. Holmes Bishop, chairman of the farm bureau citrus department urges all citrus growers to attend in order that they mal familiarize themselves with the present orchard pest conditions and hear the recommendations of the entomologists who are making an intensive study of control methods.

Walking clubs are becoming increasingly popular in the suburbs. The Farmer’s Corner By Ralph H. Taylor Secretary Agricultural Legislative Committee California’s shopping housewives may have less money to spend than in former years, but they’ll actually get more for it—in food value, quality, purity and general palatability — than at any other time in the state’s history. Housewives everywhere, in fact, will get a bigger dollar’s worth in “better products,” if they buy California-grown commodities. The “big values for little money,” according to A. A. Brock, director of the state department of agriculture, will come as a result of greatly improved and strengthened standardization acts, adopted by the recent legislature and signed by Governor Rolph. And the higher standards were voted at the request of the farming industry itself as one of California agriculture’s frontal attacks on depression in its bid for favor in world markets. Thirteen separate bills were enacted — eleven affecting specific commodity standards and two amending general provisions — in the general move to boom California sales by improved products. California oranges, already famed in the four-corners of the marketing world, will be sweeter as one result of the "new deal," senate bill 101 having increased the maturity standards for valencias throughout the state, and for navels grown in the southern district. Standards also were tightened to eliminate frost-damaged fruit in citrus shipments. Marking requirements were extended and standard containers were made compulsory, unless clearly marked "irregular container." California asparagus came under its own standardization act for the first time as another result of the program, with high quality standards and specific provisions as to size and count specifications for bunch packed shipments. Land Bank, Loan Office Hours Set Paul Etzold , George S. Mann Will Be In Office On Thursdays Only Paul Etzold, local correspondent for the federal loan commissioner, will be at his desk at the farm bureau headquarters on Thursdays only, hereafter, according to announcement just issued by the agricultural extension service. Thursday is also the office day for Geo. S. Mann, representing the federal land bank at Berkeley, except for this week. He has been called to the Berkeley Bank for a conference. The new plan will make it possible and convenient for interviews with both agents of the farm relief act. Farmers who wish to negotiate or make application for either the commissioner's loan or the land bank loan are asked to call at the farm advisor's office on Thursdays only. For the information of the public, it is again pointed out by Mr. Etzold that he cannot take applications for first mortgage loans where the same would be acceptable to the federal land bank. It is contemplated that ordinarily, commissioner loans will be confined to second mortgages on farm real estate, supplemented in some cases by mortgages on farm livestock and other personal property, and only in those cases where the federal land bank will not make first mortgage loans would there be a possibility of the commissioner making such first mortgage loans. S. T. Harding, irrigation engineer, is now in Orange county reviewing the water situation for the federal land bank, at the request of the farm bureau agricultural credits committee, to survey all water data available and submit a report to the bank. Mr. Harding will hold a conference with the farm bureau committee next Friday at the farm advisor's office. C. A. Palmer, Orange, is chairman of the committee. A volume of data has been assembled by the committee on the quality sources. Lemon Growers Get Instruction 100 Take Annual Tour, Visiting Orchards Where Latest Methods Explained The annual tour for Orange county lemon growers, conducted last week by the agricultural extension service, was attended by a hundred growers, according to Holmes Bishop, chairman of the farm bureau citrus growers department. The group of interested lemon men visited several orchards belonging to and others managed by the Leffingwell Ranch. Farm Advisor Harold E. Wahlberg was in charge of the tour and at the various stops introduced Dr. I. G. McBeth, general manager; Harry Schyler, superintendent; and others members of the ranch staff, who explained the various changes in orchard operations that have taken place in the past few years. Dr. McBeth stated that their cultivation practice has been entirely revolutionized in recent years. Formerly heavy tractors and tillage equipment was used for deep plowing and cultivation. Today light tractors and lighter tools are employed for comparatively shallow and less frequent cultivations. This change in tillage practice, said McBeth, has encouraged the vigorous growth of feeder roots in the upper layer of soil where the greatest concentration of plant food is available. A new departure in soil improvement was witnessed by the growers in their tour through the lemon orchards. This is the growing of heavy spring and summer cover crops for the purpose of building up the organic content of the soil. The management explained that the incorporation of heavy tonnages of cover crops in recent years has materially improved the soil, making it more spongy and active. Extra applications of irrigation water and concentrate fertilizers are applied to take care of the added demands of the cover crop, it was explained. California asparagus came under its own standardization act for the first time as another result of the program, with high quality standards and specific provisions as to size and count specifications for bunch packed shipments. Following out the general plan, growers in the San Joaquin valley succeeded in securing the enactment of a new standardization act for Thompson seedless and White Malaga grapes, increasing the maturity standard from 17 per cent to 18 per cent. The new act, however, does not make any change with reference to grapes grown in desert areas. The maximum defect-allowance in avocados was reduced under another bill, requested by the avocado industry. Date growers won very materially increased standards for their product, reducing the present 10 per cent tolerance for defective dates to 5 per cent and making other improvements in quality restrictions. A persimmon, at least a California persimmon, will be exactly as it seems to be under another standardization code change. The new act makes it illegal to pick a persimmon with less than 75 per cent orange or reddish color. This will prevent picking of immature fruit with the intent to artificially color the fruit before marketing. Walnut meats will be cleaner as a result of the addition of another "defect" to the walnut standardization act—"yellow mold"—and also by a reduction of the tolerance allowed for walnut meats affected by insect injury. "Tip burn" will be eliminated from lettuce under another of the acts, and two new standard containers were also provided for lettuce. Cantaloupes, too, will be better, with the sugar content increased from 8 to 9 per cent in all desert areas. Definite maturity tests have been set up for honey-ball and honey-dew melons, with honey-balls requiring 12 per cent sugar content and honey-dews 10 per cent. In the broad sense, there are two marked improvements: First, the farming industry is leading the way in raising its own standards. Second, the new acts provide specific measurable maturity standards which greatly facilitate enforcement of the acts and remove much present uncertainty. Frank Kidd Opens S. T. Harding, irrigation engineer, is now in Orange county reviewing the water situation for the federal land bank, at the request of the farm bureau agricultural credits committee, to survey all water data available and submit a report to the bank. Mr. Harding will hold a conference with the farm bureau committee next Friday at the farm advisor's office. C. A. Palmer, Orange, is chairman of the committee. A volume of data has been assembled by the committee on the quality, sources and cost of irrigation water in Orange county. A report on the earning capacity of the principal crops in Orange county has also been prepared for the bank, all looking to a liberalization of the present loaning policies of that institution. New York's famous flea circus has gone to Chicago for the world's fair. The circus has been here for seven years. It is really worth seeing. A new departure in soil improvement was witnessed by the growers in their tour through the lemon orchards. This is the growing of heavy spring and summer cover crops for the purpose of building up the organic content of the soil. The management explained that the incorporation of heavy tonnages of cover crops in recent years has materially improved the soil, making it more spongy and active. Extra applications of irrigation water and concentrate fertilizers are applied to take care of the added demands of the cover crop. It was explained. Caution was issued by the management an dthe farm advisor that unless extra water and fertilizers were applied the orchard trees would suffer competition from the cover crop. 'The giant colt' or pigweed has responded best under their conditions as a cover crop for growth during the warm seasons. It is sown at the rate of three pounds per acre. The crop often attains a height of eight to ten feet and makes a tremendous tonnage.

The heavy pruning system used on weak lemon trees was demonstrated during the tour. Superintendent Schyler explained that they found it necessary to prune the weak growth back heavily in order to balance the top structure of the tree with the root system that had previously been weakened by unfavorable soil moisture conditions. The heavy pruning has forced new, vigorous growth on which better quality lemons are being produced. The sucker growth resulting from the heavy cutting back is followed up with corrective pruning. In order to rehabilitate weak trees, he said, some fruit must of course be sacrificed. Holmes Bishop commended the lemon industry for setting the example to the orange growers in stabilization. The lemon growers, he pointed out, have practiced proration for several years and as a result have maintained a satisfactory market. He cautioned against further plantings. Unless there is a balance between plantings and market demand, difficulties may arise. Sheriff Seeking Wielder of Knife Sheriff Logan Jackson and his deputies this week were looking for an unknown assailant who stabbed Carlos Romeros, 23, of Santa Ana, in the right side of the chest in a free for all fight Sunday at the Arizona cafe, on the west side of the Santa Ana river just outside the city limits of the county seat. When deputies arrived at the scene, participants in the fight had disappeared. Romeros was taken to the county hospital, where he is expected to recover.
