IN THE DAYS OF LOC Extracts From Files of The Gazette Issued Half a Century and a Quarter of a Centurial Authentic History In Print of the Daily Doings of the Citizens of Anaheim and Orlando 50 YEARS AGO THIS WEEK MAY 30, 1885 Grasshoppers are beginning to make their unwelcome presence felt in spots. They have devoured some corn in North Anaheim, and appear to be meditating an attack upon some of the vineyards in that direction. Mr. R. J. Northam is ready to give them battle with an army of ducks which he has gathered to protect his vines. Capt. Wescott, in a Sacramento paper, relates some interesting facts connected with the grasshoppers scourge at the California Raisin company’s vineyard near Rocklin. The pests are still at work upon the place with most disastrous results. The vineyard is eleven years old, and it is believed by some that the vines are killed. A strange thing is that the grasshoppers do not touch the vines of the Mission grapes. The state engineer last week measured the water in the Riverside canal at various points for the purpose of ascertaining the amount of water lost by seepage and evaporation. The loss was estimated to be twenty inches per mile, and as Riverside has thirty miles of large canals, 600 inches of water is lost from them. It may be set down as a fact, also, that the loss is proportionately greater in the small distributing ditches, as they are not used continuously and absorb great quantities of water every time they are used. In the upper ditch of the Anaheim Union Water company which is sixteen miles in length there is a loss of 450 inches of water out of a thousand inches turned into the ditch. When ten heads of water are turned into the ditch from the river, 5 and one-half are received at the lower end by the distributing zanjero. In the lower main ditch the loss is about the same as in the upper ditch, through it is only about one-half as long. This fearful water is not unavoidable. It can be prevented by either conveying the water in pipes or by cementing the open ditches. Either process, however, involves an appalling expenditure of money, which will delay reform until what is quite probable, the state assumes control of the irrigation works. The audience which gathered in Kroeger’s hall on Tuesday evening in honor of the graduation in music of Miss Nellie Bancroft and other advanced pupils of Prof. Packard was a large and highly appreciative one.

The audience which gathered in Kroeger's hall on Tuesday evening in honor of the graduation in music of Miss Nellie Bancroft and other advanced pupils of Prof. Packard was a large and highly appreciative one. Miss Nellie Bancroft, Miss Rose Davis, Missss Sarah Crowther, Miss Clara Schulte, Miss Maggie Anderson and Miss Jennie Baker were the young ladies who took part in the instrumental entertainment and their proficiency was apparent even to the intutoned car. The solos of Miss Davis and Miss Baker gave these young ladies an opportunity to show how proficient they were. The popular "Carnival of Venice" as rendered by Miss Davis was a skillful interpretation of that sprightly bit of music. Of the performance of Miss Bancroft, it is difficult to find words to frame compliments which would do justice to her skill. In conferring the graduating diploma upon her, Rev. Robinson stated that it is the first time in ten years that any pupil had completed the course required by the musical department of the Napa Collegiate institute. Her rendering of "Sonata No. 7" was followed by an oration and by the bestowal of some most beautiful floral gifts. It may not be out of place to add that Anaheim is fortunate in having as a citizen such an accomplished professor of music as Prof. Packard. It will be seen by a notice in our advertising columns that the firm of Hanna & Keith has been dissolved by the withdrawal of Mr. Hanna who, after spending a vacation of a month or so in the mountains will remove to Los Angeles and engage in business in that city. The departure of Mr. Hanna and his estimable family will be a distinct loss to this community. We will continue in the hope that, as there are many slips 'twixt the cup and lip, something may arise in the interim which will cause them to reconsider their determination to leave us. Mr. Keith will continue business at the old stand and will without doubt waive a large share of patronage. The construction of a brick winery has been begun by Mr. Schorn.

The members of the Board of Supervisors have decided to buy what is now as the old Dr. Head place at two for a county hospital and poor man. There are forty-two acres in the tract, and the price is $400 an acre. With the exception of a pumping plant improvements do not amount to much. The owner of the property is H. Lewis. The tract is at the Pacific Electric railroad this side of Garden Ave. Supervisor Talbert was appointed a member of one from the board to serve with the district attorney in swing up a contract of lease of the liberty for a term of years with privilege of purchase.

Water Measurement Meetings Scheduled Just in advance of most orchard irrigation, two demonstrations featuring pump efficiency testing, water measurement, and the duty of water are being scheduled by the Agricultural Extension Service, according to W. M. Cory, Assistant Farm Advisor. The demonstrations will be held on Wednesday, May 29; one in the southern part and one in the northern part of the county. As soon as the locations for the demonstrations have been definitely decided upon, notice will be given to the press.

Farm Advisor’s Office Gives Data On Windbreak Value To Orchards Of County Several new windbreaks have been planted this spring in various parts of the county, according to observations made by the Farm Advisor’s office. Although there have been no extensive or serious winds for two seasons in the citrus belt of Orange County, growers are mindful of their usual regular occurrence in the fall and winter months. The Agricultural Extension Service has assembled during the past fifteen years a large volume of data in connection with wind injury and its effect on production and orchard income, that has shown the economic benefits of windbreak protection. Following the heavy winds of January 1933, packing house records were collected by Farm Advisor Harold E. Wahlberg to compare the returns of protected orchards with returns of unprotected orchards. Twenty-six orchards of equal age and exposure were selected. Thirteen of these were protected by windbreaks and thirteen were unprotected. The protected orchards packed out more fruit of better quality fruit than the exposed orchards and returns to the grower averaged $84 more per year. The following comparison developed from the survey: Protected Orchards Orchards Field Boxes 455 371 Packed Boxes 268 202 Percent pack out 59% 54% Percent Finey 9.3% 1.6% Percent Sunkist 72.3% 62% Percent Redball 17.7% 36% Returns per Acre $232.57 $148.52 The $84 per acre increased income is equivalent to a six percent earning on an additional value of $1400 per acre. This is a good reason for planting windbreak seedlings. The most efficient break is the standard blue gum eucalyptus interspaced with the so-called bushy blue gum. This combination planted on four to five foot spacing for general conditions offers a solid faced windbreak that will provide maximum protection. Care should be taken by the prospective planter to set the break well inside the property line to reduce competition with the adjacent property to a minimum. choice MEATS LEGS OF LAMB 1b. 21c BUILDER CUT ORK DAST 22c Sauerkraut 2 lbs. 9c Dill Pickles 3 for 10c HOME MADE 1b. 18c PRIME STEER Beef Roast 1b. 17¢ 19¢ Mayonnaise 0c Qts. 39c FRESH OUND EEF s. 29c Shortening 2 lbs. 25c Pure Lard 2 lbs. 35c Package or Bulk find the market n other de those here — display Garden Fresh VEGETABLES Garden Fresh VEGETABLES No. 1 SPUDS 35 lbs.
