250 Members and Guests Enjoy St. Agnes Guild’s Annual Bridge Tea on Saturday Hall Transformed Into Beautiful Garden by “Spring Basket” Theme of Decoration Supervised by Miss Honor Easton; More Than 50 Tables of Contract and Auction; Musical Program Two hundred and fifty members and guests this week recalled with pleasure the annual St. Agnes guild’s bridge tea and musicale, held Saturday afternoon at the Knights of Pythias hall on West Center street. The hall was transformed into a beautiful spring garden, with the “spring basket” theme attractively arranged under the chairmanship of Miss Honor Easton. Guests were received beneath an ivy and Cecil Brunner archway by Miss Katheryn Adams, directress, and Miss Mary Easton, general chairman. Those attending were seated at more than 50 tables for auction and contract, while a score or more “dropped in” for tea and the musicale, which featured artists secured by Mrs. Florence Austin Newkirk. Miss Dorothy Bishop, formerly from this city, gave an excellent selection of piano numbers, while Mrs. Ollimae Matthews of Santa Ana, gave several violin selections, with Mrs. Newkirk at the piano. Artists were presented with a bouquet of Talismen roses by Miss Adams in appreciation of their performances. Contract bridge prizes were awarded Mrs. Earl Dahlman, Mrs. Leonard Evans, Mrs. Ella Randall, Mrs. Catherine Adams, Miss Charlotte Harnois, Mrs. Vera Markle and Mrs. Homer Ames, with auction bridge prizes going to Mrs. J. Walton, Mrs. Myrtle Jones, Mrs. J. C. Downey, Mrs. Gilmore, Mrs. B. Labor and Mrs. Arthur Lindell. Members of various committees who worked to make the tea such a fine success were Stella Jackson, Janle Vander Veer, Mrs. Clyde Daniels, Mrs. Roderick Brastad, Helen Thompson, Dorothy Yungbluth, Mrs. Cortez Hoskins, Mrs. Edward Howell, Maude Dent, Mrs. T.

Discusses the Problems of the Farmer 30 years From Now The last government census of the United States valued the land in farms in California at more than two billion seven hundred million dollars—a gain of 383% in value over the preceding thirty year period. Agriculture is the basis of California's present day wealth, it supports the cities and definitely ties together California's metropolitan and rural life. What has the future in store for California's agriculture? Will it continue as the state's major industry? Will distribution problems be solved? Will transportation be developed to the extent that today's Western harvest will be tomorrow's Eastern market? These questions and many others of vital interest to all Californians were discussed by Dean Claude B. Hutchison of the College of Agriculture, University of California, in connection with Bank of America's $10,000 Scholarship Contest, open to boys and girls, under 18 years of age, who write the best essays on "America in 1964." Dean Hutchison's discussion was broadcast over the Columbia Don Lee Network at 8 P. M., Wednesday, May 2, 1934. In 1934, the Dean points out, we are producing more food than people can buy. The government is taking 40,000,000 acres of land out of production this year through the subsidy. In a few instances, this is meeting the season's problems. He further points out that this productive land cannot be left idle for an indefinite period. But the government has a plan for adjusting this situation in its long time program. Young Men Will Have More Chances to Advance "What effect will the NRA, a managed currency, the new securities act have upon business thirty years hence?" Dr. Theodore J. Kreps of the Graduate School of Business, Stanford University, will give his views upon this vital, absorbing question on Wednesday evening, May 9, in connection with Bank of America's $10,000 essay contest. Dr. Kreps will be heard in the bank's radio program, Leaders of Tomorrow, over the Columbia Don Lee System. Dr. Kreps believes that the businessman of 1964 will have an enlarged viewpoint, able to judge conditions from a national outlook rather than from a purely local aspect. By 1964, contrary to the beliefs of many, Dr. Kreps contends there will be greater opportunity for the young man starting from scratch than exists today. The custom of passing business enterprises from father to son, by that time, will have been relegated to the dark ages. Entrance into business will then be on the same basis as entrance into medicine or any of the other professions through training in recognized schools. The boy or girl, through this means, will be able to learn whether or not he prefers a particular business and we will have fewer "misfits" than we have today. By 1964, we are bound to have a national banking system, that will replace all state systems. Branch banking will be nation wide. Dr. Kreps believes that banking will be the first of our business institutions to become professional through special schools which will train the young men before they are allowed to enter this highly specialized field." ANAHEIM GAZETTE The FARMERS CORNER by RALPH-H-TAYLOR Executive Secretary Agricultural Council of California In any program to create a foreign market for surplus production in the United States by means of reciprocal tariff treaties, it is of the utmost importance that caution should be exercised to guard against imports from foreign countries displacing more American labor than is used in the production of the goods exported. Basing his action on that statement of the fundamental principles at issue, C.C. Teague, president of the California Fruit Growers Exchange, focused attention on dangerous aspects of legislation now pending before the United States senate which would empower the president to adjust tariffs without hearings or congressional approval. Teague's opposition to the radical tariff revision proposal was voiced in a review of the tariff problem, as it affects California agriculture, submitted to the commission of inquiry on national policy in international economic relations, meeting May 3 in San Francisco. One of the outstanding agricultural authorities in the West, Teague appeared before the national commission as president of the California Walnut Growers association and head of the Agricultural Council of California, representing 31 farm cooperatives and commodity organizations, in addition to representing the citrus industry. Warning that American labor, with American living standards, can not compete with the cheap labor of foreign countries without tariff protection Advises Growers Watch Irrigation Claims Excessive Use of Water Deteriorates Groves and Diminishes Supply By HAROLD E. WAHLBERG, Farm Advisor The frequent finding of rotted roots in citrus orchards bears silent evidence that excessive use of irrigation water is exacting an increasing toll from the citrus industry through lower tree vitality and lessened production. Not a week passes through the year that we do not find much evidence of weak trees and roots that may be traced to excessive irrigation, reflected in too frequent application, or too much water, or too long furrows. Roots have been literally drowned out. And the tragedy of it is that usually the grower does it with the best intentions. He is often slowly killing his trees by over-doing the irrigation practice. The trouble is found on most types of soils, more particularly the loams, clays and adobes. The sandy soils are usually less infested with the rot fungi which cause rot deterioration, but much water can be lost through leaching or deep percolation. This time of the year especial care should be taken in the application of water. Hundreds of soil tests made this spring indicate that usually a light irrigation will replace the moisture taken out in the surface soil by the cover crop. The equivalent of less than two acre inches per acre is ample for the usual soil condition. Notwithstanding the fact that we have had a dry spring and no rain since January, the moisture conditions in the second, third and fourth foot zones are generally satisfactory. Democrats Gain In County Registration Since First of Year Since January of this year, democratic registration in the highly republican county of Orange gained 2,846 while the Republican gain was 503, according to figures announced by County Clerk J. M. Backs. His figures show 34,104 republicans and 22,406 democrats, as compared with 37,291 republicans and 21,712 democrats in November, 1932. Total registration within the county is 58,871, while the high water mark was during the presidential election in 1932, with 62,306 signed up. In addition the above figures on republicans and democrats the county boasts 334 socialists, 46 prohibitionists, 1426 who decline to state party affiliations, 62 liberty party members and 78 miscellaneous and other communist.

Says Valencia High School Case Will be Taken to High Court Attorney B. Z. McKinney, representing taxpayers who object to formation of the Valencia union high school Placentia on the grounds that the district's assessed valuation is not large enough to meet state stipulations, a One of the outstanding agricultural authorities in the West, Teague appeared before the national commission as president of the California Walnut Growers association and head of the Agricultural Council of California, representing 31 farm cooperatives and commodity organizations, in addition to representing the citrus industry. Warning that American labor, with American living standards, can not compete with the cheap labor of foreign countries without tariff protection for American commodities, Teague told the commission of inquiry that "It would be wholly inconsistent to make reciprocal tariff treatise which would result in the increased import of those agricultural products which are already produced in surplus in the United States. "It is my feeling that this country should develop its resources to their maximum extent consistent with sound business principles, taking into account our living standards," Teague testified, "and not depend upon others freely giving up to us in voluntary exchange any real or fancied national values that they may have." American wage scales and living standards, which would be broken down in the event of competition with the cheap labor of foreign countries, are of direct benefit to the foreign nations dealing with the United States, as well as the country itself, Teague emphasized. "Undoubtedly export trade can only be developed to the extent that we are willing to buy as many dollars worth of goods from other countries as we sell them," he testified. "But I think it is also true that the greatest interest of any American producer should be to maintain the buying power of the United States market where the greatest proportion of his product is sold. "This is also true of the foreign producer of commodities now on the 'free list', who is just as much interested in and benefited by a high standard of living in the United States with corresponding buying power for these goods as is the American producer of protected items. "For example, the rubber of Great Britain and Holland, the coffee of Brazil, and the silk of Japan prosper in large measure from the consuming capacity of America for these commodities. This consuming capacity is greatly influenced by the general buying power of the masses of people in this country dependent in turn to a considerable extent on the wages and other income derived from protected domestic industries." The ideal moisture condition for citrus roots is one that fluctuates from wet to dry, thus allowing the permeation of soil air through the root zone, which is a deterrent to the growth of the common rot fungi of the soil. Conservative or optimum use of water in the orchard not only improves the vigor and productiveness of the tree, but also reduces the demand on the present diminishing water supplies of the community. Not a few citrus growers last year applied 25 to 48 acre inches of water during the season. Recent tests made on the consumption of water by mature citrus trees show that trees use about 18 acre inches of water. When more than 20 acre inches per acre are used, there is an apparent excess that returns no benefit to the orchard, in fact, tends to deteriorate the earning capacity of that orchard. Many of the finest orchards of the county are using less than 18 acre inches of water for the season. Citrus Rail Rate To Be Continued Assurance Given That Freight and Refrigeration Slash to Last Till May 31, 1935 Definite assurance that the freight and refrigeration rate reduction, which reduced California citrus industry costs 2½ million dollars last year, will be extended until May 31, 1935, was announced at a recent California Fruit Growers Exchange board meeting. Concurrence of all railroads has been received by L. A. Strouse, chairman of the traffic committee of the California Citrus league, which handled the The increased returns need so desperately in only three ways. There is a man-made city with vital quests.

This consuming capacity is greatly influenced by the general buying power of the masses of people in this country dependent in turn to a considerable extent on the wages and other income derived from protected domestic industries." Two-thirds of all imports into the United States, Teague pointed out, enter this country duty-free, and "It is reasonable to expect that the actual value of our foreign trade, both import and export, would be increased to a greater extent by increasing our buying power than it would by lowering tariffs on dutile goods to admit commodities already produced here in surplus." Concluding, Teague recommended that "There should be a continual critical consideration of tariff rates in order that adjustments will be possible with full information available. Such revision should be based upon principles that are understood by the interested industries and others affected in order that long-time programs can be entered upon with confidence. "The proposal to give the president power to adjust tariffs within a range of 50 per cent without hearings would place tariff schedules in continual revision and seriously affect that return of confidence which is essential to a return of prosperity." GETS 50 DAYS IN JAIL Judge Frank Tausch Monday sentenced Huntington Park's Charles W.

Appointment of a national co-ordinator and plans for national proration with Florida, Texas, California and Arizona cooperating will be considered. Discussion of the marketing program for valencia oranges occupied most of the Exchange meeting, with reports by T. H.

This question from Genesis is the Golden Text in the Lesson-Sermon on "Everlasting Punishment" on Sunday in all branches of The Mother Church, The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Mass. One of the Scriptural selections in the Lesson-Sermon includes the verses from The Acts: "And Ananias went his way, and entered into the house; and putting his hands on him said, Brother Saul, the Lord, even Jesus, that appeared unto thee in the way as thou camest, hath sent me, that thou mightest receive thy sight, and be filled with the Holy Ghost. And immediately there fell from his eyes as it had been scales; and he received sight forthwith, and arose, and was baptized." Among the passages from Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," by Mary Baker Eddy, are the statements; "Saul of Tarsus behold the way—the Christ, or Truth—only when his uncertain sense of right yielded to a spiritual sense, which is always right. Then the man was changed. Thought assumed a nobler outlook, and his life became more spiritual. He learned the wrong that he had done in persecuting Christians, whose religion he had not understood, and in humility he took the new name of Paul."

Citrus Returns Must Be Increased THREE POSSIBLE METHODS —and what the California Fruit Growers Exchange is doing about them INCREASED THREE POSSIBLE METHODS — and what the California Fruit Growers Exchange is doing about them THE increased returns we citrus growers need so desperately can be obtained only three ways. There are no others. By regulating supply to increase prices. By increasing demand. By lowering costs. HIGHER PRICES are best obtained. For surplus conditions by orderly disruption, by seeing to it that every market plenty of fruit but no more than it will at a living return to the grower. The California-Arizona Citrus Marketing Element provides the volume prorate necessary to bring about this condition. To the California Fruit Growers Exchangeges wholehearted support. INCREASED SALES can be attained out lowering prices only by causing little to use more fruit. For 27 years the California Fruit Growers Exchange has added to this end. This year, the Exchange is telling the public entirely new health facts known only about oranges and lemons—the result of a four-year research program, one of many in which the Exchange has cooperated. LOWER COSTS cannot be relied upon to yield much more in the way of increased returns. Production costs have already been reduced to the point where the future of groves is endangered. Costs of labor and materials seem likely to increase. Freight and refrigeration costs were reduced 2½ million dollars last year and through continued efforts, this emergency rate reduction has been extended for another year, to May 31, 1935. Additional savings are being made by the Exchange wherever possible. CITRUS RETURNS MUST BE INCREASED and one of the best opportunities for immediate improvement lies in unanimous support by all growers, in the Exchange and out, of the Citrus Agreement.
