The Directors of the A. U. W. company at their meeting on last Saturday rejected the bids for cleaning the ditches, deeming them too high, and decided to put a large force of men at work under the supervision of Engineer Kellogg, and to have the ditches ready for the delivery of water by July 1st. The resignation of W. M. Bailey as superintendent was accepted. The following was adopted: Resolved, That the company assume the charge of and keep in repair when necessary, all ditches required to convey water to the lands covered by the stock of the company; provided however, that the owners of the land through which the ditches run, or the owners of ditches which it is necessary to use, shall consent to the company's employes going upon said land and cleaning and using said ditches.
The incubators at the ostrich farm are fully charged with eggs, and it is possible that in six or eight weeks the long looked for ostrich chicks will be a strutting fact. The hens are laying with their accustomed energy, and six of them having reached the age when they ought to produce fertile eggs, tangible results are expected. Two of the hens will be allowed to set and it will be interesting to note this trial between natural artificial methods. One of the setting hens now has a nest of fine eggs which she warms during the day and her male mate relieves her during the night. Some of the birds will be plucked during the next few weeks. The quality of the feathers has been somewhat impaired by the heavy winter rains.
Already notes of summer exodus to the mountains or beach are heard. It is likely that Anaheim Landing will receive more than its usual share of campers.

"Electric Range Jubilee" To Run Well Into June
Newspaper Advertising Used to Put Over One of Biggest Merchandising Plans
Inaugurated as one of the most complete cooperative merchandising enterprises ever undertaken by the electrical dealers of Southern California, the present "electric range jubilee" now under way in full swing, offers prospective electric range users the opportunity to participate advantageously in an industry-wide event, according to R. E. Bacon, division manager of the Southern California Edison company, Ltd. The campaign, which promises to write a new chapter in electric range history in Southern California, was opened April 30 and will continue well into June.
Newspaper advertising of the Southern California Edison company Ltd., in cooperation with the electric range dealers throughout the Edison territory, is stressing the advantages of electric cookery and the advantages of the present price offering on 1934 model, full automatic electric ranges.
"The Edison company always has been a strong believer in regular use of newspaper advertising space to point out the advantages of full electrical service for the home," Mr. Bacon said, "and in the present cooperative campaign we are leaning on the newspaper to a greater extent than ever before to insure the success of the plan.
"We feel that in this new program the electrical dealers have a great deal to offer the public, a new and fully automatic electric range at a price that is tremendously attractive. The Edison company itself, of course, is not selling this merchandise directly but is

L. Nemetz' rabbit made his escape the first night of its incarceration. Mr. Nemetz was fattening the varmint for his Sunday dinner, which coming to the bunny's ears determined him to make his getaway at all hazards. Come what may.

The report that Nemetz had the rabbit for breakfast is denied.

Monday was the hottest May day in the memory of the oldest inhabitant of the area." Mr. Bacon said, "and in the present cooperative campaign we are leaning on the newspaper to a greater extent then ever before to insure the success of the plan."
"We feel that in this new program the electrical dealers have a great deal to offer the public, a new and fully automatic electric range at a price that is tremendously attractive. The Edison company itself, of course, is not selling this merchandise directly but is putting the full strength of its commercial division behind the plan to cooperate with the electrical range dealers."
"The company, as a part of this cooperative campaign and like the electrical dealers in its territory, has arranged an attractive display of the new ranges in its office here. The public is invited to visit the Edison office at any time to see and learn all about the new ranges, and I am sure that all of the electrical dealers extend the same invitation, regardless of whether their visitors are contemplating the immediate purchase of an electric range.
"Southern California householders have the distinction of being among the leaders of the nation in the use of electric energy for domestic service, for cooking, refrigeration, water heating as well as for lighting and the operation of the small convenient appliances such as the toaster, waffle iron and mixer. The present 'electric range jubilee' campaign is designed wholly to make electrical cooking equipment easily available to the households of Southern California. The manufacturers of electric cooking equipment have cooperated by making available the full automatic electric ranges at a standard, unprecedented low price.
"A noteworthy feature of this 'electric range jubilee' program is that the unusual low price includes the complete installation of the range in most homes. This feature, combined with the fact that the electrical dealers are now offering particularly advantageous payment plans, makes the present most timely for the purchase of an electric range."

Sugar Beet Plans Are Taking Form
Expect Basis for Individual Allotments Soon; Price of $6.50 a Ton Sought
Plans for an adjustment program for sugar beets and sugar cane and for administration of the Costigan-Jones act signed by the president, are taking definite form, according to an official statement received by the farm advicer’s office. Special attention is focused on the pending program for domestic sugar beets, which is closely patterned after the programs in effect on other basic agricultural commodities, such as wheat, cotton, and tobacco. The act provides that the secretary shall within 30 days proclaim that rental or benefit payments with respect to those commodities will be made and the processing tax shall be in effect in 30 days. This proclamation has already been issued.
It is estimated that proceeds from the processing and compensating taxes, which cannot exceed one-half a cent per pound, 96 degrees raw sugar basis, would amount to 63 million dollars a year, of which approximately 20 million dollars would be distributed as benefit payments among the growers of sugar beets and sugar cane in continental United States who participate in the program. Out of the remaining 43 million dollars, the taxes arising out of the processing of sugar cane produced in the insular areas would be available for use, for the benefit of agriculture generally or for reduction in cane acreage or sugar production in those areas, at the discretion of the secretary of agriculture, with the approval of the president.
Sugar beets, in a number of areas, have already been planted, while in other areas planting operations are...
