KUCHEL Editors and Publishers ESTABLISHED 1870 ISSUED EVERY THURSDAY SUBSCRIPTION PER YEAR $2.00 SIX MONTHS $1.00 Entered at the Anaheim, California Postoffice as second-class matter. HENRY KUCHEL In assuming control of the column so lately relinquished by our friend and father, Henry Kuchel, we are overcome with a great sense of responsibility and with what a challenge it is to carry on the principles for which he fought so unceasingly. The torch is passed to us. We shall not be the ones to lay it down. To consecrate his memory we will strive in some manner to approach those qualities of sincerity, truthfulness and love for our fellow man that have become our rich and cherished heritage. His fight and victory in so many spectacular and far-reaching controversies have made an indelible impression on the life within our town and county. An instance is the "Twilight Patent" cases that he carried, almost single-handed, to the higher courts where the right of the citrus grower to carry on his pest control work without paying tribute to a monopoly was upheld. Many pioneer growers have told us that without this decision the industry could not have flourished in Orange County. County division, water rights and many other vital questions which he championed have inured to the lasting benefit of his community. Vast sums of money were offered him by private interests merely to keep out of these fights. The deaf ear he turned on these occasions needs no elaboration here. With God's help we will carry on. “If thou seek his monument, look about thee.” THE PROPHET PROFESSES— The editor of the Bulletin last Saturday canvassed the ballots (?) and declares that we are elected the voice of the A.

U. W. Co. We are pleased with that verdict even though we knew nothing about it. It came as a pleasant surprise. It was a nice gesture on the part of the Bulletin. We see no ulterior motive behind it. We are sorry the Bulletin thinks our statement that Anaheim's riparian water rights are sacred, is untrue and "unfortunate use of words." Perhaps a longer residence here or a closer appreciation of the fundamentals which allowed Anaheim and vicinity to become the garden spot we now enjoy would temper the Bulletin's conclusion. To quote the Bulletin, "Any person able to spell the word 'riparian' could hardly be mistaken." If memory serves correctly it is not so long since the editor of the Bulletin was informed in the "Letter Box" of the misspelling of the word "riparian." We draw no conclusion. In closing we quote from the same editorial, "however, it seems probable that the reading public will be discerning and will not be misled either by accidental or purposeful exaggerations." We sincerely believe this last paragraph. A NEW RED PLAN The outlines of the latest plan of the Third International, for winning the world for communism, are now becoming evident. The first announcement from Moscow was to the effect that there had been a "change of front" and that from now on the Reds would align themselves with the forces of so-called "capitalistic democracy" in an effort to fight fascism. This surprising statement was regarded by observers as a sop to the democratic United States which had recognized Soviet Russia partly on the promise that revolutionary activities here would be discontinued, and also to France and other European countries which had agreed to lend more money to the Russian Reds. Statements by the real leaders of the International later revealed the fact, however, that this proposed change of front was only an apparent one and was made for the purpose of destroying fascism and capitalistic democracy both, setting up communism in their place. With this real purpose revealed the strategy is now evident. It will be the purpose of the communists in the United States and other capitalistic nations, where they are tolerated, to seek to stir up the forces of democracy against the forces of fascism in fascist states. The objective of course is a war between the democracy and the dictatorship which will end in the destruction of both and the establishment of the dictatorship of the proletariat. These efforts will soon be forthcoming. And it will be well for the real friends of peace and representative government to be on the lookout for them. So far as the United States is concerned our people have no patience with dictatorship whether it comes under a red, a fascist or a nazi banner. But we do want to keep out of foreign wars, and we do not want to be tricked into fighting the battles of a communist movement. American government, the era of the deprived grown by leaps and bounds. More than that, it has innumberable alphabetic communications, commissions, bureau agencies—the great many intended to aid in the battle vital and the equally battle for recovery.

California farmers, at session of the State Law were successful in secur enactment of a series of intended to aid them in little for economic recovery. And of equal importance, the legislative accomplishment fact that A. A. Brock of the State Department culture, has found ways to administering the law without setting up new pensive agencies to add to ourden. ated, to seek to stir up the forces of democracy against the forces of fascism in fascist states. The objective of course is a war between the democracy and the dictatorship which will end in the destruction of both and the establishment of the dictatorship of the proletariat. These efforts will soon be forthcoming. And it will be well for the real friends of peace and representative government to be on the lookout for them. So far as the United States is concerned our people have no patience with dictatorship whether it comes under a red, a fascist or a nazi banner. But we do want to keep out of foreign wars, and we do not want to be tricked into fighting the battles of a communist movement which seeks only to destroy us. What Uncle Sam wants is to observe a course which will build up his own people and keep clear of trouble in the Eastern Hemisphere. A lot of Republicans are pretty chesty about the Rhode Island result but they ought to remember that that $4,800,-000,000 hasn't been thrown into high gear yet. A lot of people seem to think that amnesia is a new disease. Shucks, when we were young all the boys of our town were afflicted with it every time the grand jury went into session. It is said that every poor Berduoin of the Egyptian desert has a right to share the meal of his more fortunate tribesmen. Evidently that share-the-wealth idea is old stuff. Aldous Huxley, British philosopher, says, "the greatest miracles are the everyday facts of life." And there are a lot of statesmen in America who don't believe in miracles. Some kind of machines don't save labor, they make more. For example: the machine that puts the pins in the new shirts. Now that the farmers are getting theirs for not planting so much wheat and corn, why not give the country editor a chance by paying him for not running off so many papers? Why wouldn't it be a lot cheaper and more satisfactory—especially to those who have to carry the guns—if Mussolini and Haile Selassie were to put on the gloves and fight it out in fifteen rounds or less. The League of Nations could see to it that Ethiopia didn't run in Joe Louis as a ringer with Whiskers. HARRIS; WOULD YOU LIKE TO HAVE A PET RABBIT?

FICKLE GODDY OF CHANCE Legalized enough for the kinds of gambles the racketeers like mushroom would be plea they would sell THE FARMER'S CORNER By RALPH H. TAYLOR Executive Secretary Agricultural Council of California American government, during the era of the depression, has grown by leaps and bounds. More than that, it has grown by innumerable alphabetical departments, commissions, bureaus and agencies—the great majority intended to aid in the battle for survival and the equally important battle for recovery. A necessary by-product, perhaps, of one of the most critical struggles in the nation's history, the vast array of new governmental agencies nonetheless constitutes one of the greatest threats to stable, economical government after the period of the emergency has passed. In most instances, it may be safely stated that government is the one phase of American life which has prospered and grown fat during the leanest period which business, industry and agriculture ever have experienced. In light for these facts, which are set forth without prejudice, and with a due regard for the exigencies of the emergency, it is at least heartening to find that California's State Department of Agriculture recognizes the peril of over-indulgence in governmental expansion and is attempting to meet the problems of the post-depression period without creating new bureaucats to handle the job. California farmers, at the 1935 session of the State Legislature, were successful in securing the enactment of a series of measures intended to aid them in their battle for economic recovery. And of equal importance with the legislative accomplishments is the fact that A. A. Brock, director of the State Department of Agriculture, has found ways and means of administering the new acts without setting up new and extensive agencies to add to the tax burden. the state service, will administer the new laws, without any appreciable additions to the payroll, Director Brock announces. Evidencing his desire to use old hands on new jobs, which probably will result in greater efficiency as well as economy, Director Brock has called upon Dr. Theodore Macklin, chief of the Division of Markets, to furnish the necessary background of economics for proper administration of the new milk marketing and dairy products trade practices law. In handling the other new duties devolving upon the department as a result of new legislation, Director Brock is following the same policy, with the result that most of the remedial legislation for California agriculture will be administered without any additional charge to the taxpayers. Three factors entered into Director Brock's decision to "double up" rather than to increase his staff, or augment his department by new divisions. First, he admits, was the fact that agriculture—in view of the fact that it has been leader in demanding governmental economy—should also be a leader in achieving economy in its own department. Second, was the fact that many of the new acts of the business and agricultural recovery era are subject to legal challenge and possible overthrow in the courts. He was determined not to be burdened with expensive administrative and enforcement agencies if the acts were declared null and void. And third, Director Brock declares, was the fact that he considered his department-trained men better fitted to do a good job than new men who might be imported for the work. The Director's reasoning is sound. And California agriculture, when it demands a minimum oil spending and lower tax bills, is people are fast the dreams can be they are be they would sell bridge.

Trained members of the Department of Agriculture, already in MEANING OF CALIFORNIA COUNTY NAMES FROM THE STATE RECORDS The story of how California counties derived their names is an interesting part of the history of the Golden state of the Golden State. Believing that the thousands of tourists who annually motor over the state's great highway system would like to know how the counties they visit came by their names, Director of Public Works Earl Lee Kelly, at the request of Governor Frank F. Merriam has had prepared from state records a series of brief stories of the origin and meaning of the names of the counties of California including a few salient facts about each county. Following are the first articles of the series, Editor. March 25, 1853. The Spanish word "Alameda" means "a public walk or promenade in the shade of trees. Literally, it comes from Alamo, the poplar or cottonwood tree, and it is from the derived meaning of the word, "a public walk," that this county obtained its name. Long before the white man came to California an estimated 300,000 Indians divided into numerous tribes, inhabited the larger valleys of the state. Later came the missions and the great ranchos. Alameda county, with scattered bands of Indians, huge haciendas, thousands of cattle and horses, and Mission San Jose, presented a true picture of California during the era of the sailing vessel. Famed for its agricultural wealth, Alameda produces huge crops of fruits and nuts, hay, grain and vegetables and is noted for its live stock products. Population: 474,883. Amador County — Created May 11, 1854. The meaning of this word in Spanish is "lover of innanimate objects." This county most probably derived its name from Sergeant Pedro Amador or from Jose Maria Amador, his son. Sergeant Pedro Amador was one of the prominent settlers of California in 1771, and after serving in San Diego and Santa Barbara was transferred to San Francisco. He died in San Jose April 10, 1924; at the age of 82 years. His son, Jose Maria, was born in San Francisco on December 18, 1794, and was a soldier and a renowned Indian fighter. He obtained a large grant from the Mexican government and after the discovery of gold forsook pastoral pursuits and went to the Southern mines on the Mother Lode, where he greatly increased his fortune. The county of Amador is known as the land of romance and gold. The "Heart of the Mother Lode," it once was the home of Captain Weber, Captain John A. Sutter, Kit Carson, Mark Twain and Brete Harte. The county contains the most extensive quartz deposits to be found on the westren slope of the Sierra. Near Jackson, two mines are over a mile deep. Of $610,000,000 in gold produced in the Mother Lode counties, Amador has given $285,000,000. In addition to gold mining, cattle ranches, dairy farms and fruit orchards, this county is one of the most interesting fields of research in California for geologists and mining experts. Splendid state highways lead to all points of historic interest in Amador and to the sites of two of the largest reservoirs in the state. Population: 8,494. Area: 601 square miles.

HANDED EL DUCE A LEMON Mussolini ordered all acid fruits in his domains into cold storage for use of Italian soldiers in Abyssinia. And King Haile Salassie placed an order in Southern California for all the acid fruits he can get. Whoops! PATHFINDER (Continued from page 1) was seen riding a horse and leading a pack animal. When asked by a friend where he was headed for, he replied with a smile, that he was going out into the mines for another stake. But he never came back. Now is the time top lant cover crop seed for early maturing green manures, according to Farm Advisor Harold E. Wahiberg in issuing a statement to the citrus growers of Orange County. Particularly in the areas that are susceptible to minimum temperatures, an early maturing crop may be disked under to avoid the possible hazard of frost injury that may be influenced by the presence of the cover crop. In other areas not concerned with the cold problem, an early planting now will make way for a second planting by the end of the year so that two crops may be grown and thus provide a double supply of green mauring, which is one of the cheapest sources of organic matter available to the orchardist. Mustard is the most popular crop now grown for early maturity and heavy tonnage of organic matter. For the normal planting schedule, malva makes a splendid cover, not only because of its generous above ground growth, but also because of the strong penetrating tap root which has a deep subroiling effect, which introduces decaying organic matter to deeper levels than ordinary plants. Wherever leguminous crops can be grown to advantage they are to be preferred, according to the Farm Advisor, because they contribute some nitrogen to the soil that the non-legume is incapable of taking from the air. However, in recent years many of the legume crops have not responded so well. They have apparently run out, and thus produced unsatisfactory green tonnage. The value of a cover crop is mainly in the total tonnage of green matter it furnishes to turn under. There fore if the legumes, such as melilotus indica, purple vetch, hors beans and the like fail to give good tonnage, the non-legume mustard can be used. Its response in such cases is usually satisfactory if moisture conditions are favorably maintained. Early cover crops may require an extra irrigation, but this need be only light one sufficient to meet the needs of the shallow cover crop seedlings. Bulky Fertilizers In the standard fertilizer program to be applied periodically preferably each year during the summer or fall months. Now is good season to make application of manures or other bulky organ materials. Anglyses of the common manures and other bulky organics, listed in the fertilizer bulletin recently prepared by the Farm Advisor's office for Orange County conditions, are shown as follow: dairy manure 30% organic and 7% organic; steer manure 60% organic and 2% nitrogen; poultry manure, first grade, 2.5% nitrogen and 60% organic; second graded poultry manure 50% organic and 1.6% nitrogen; rabbit manure 50% organic and 2% nitrogen; hoop manure 30% organic and 1% nitrogen; sheep manure 50% organic and 1.6% nitrogen; sludge 50% organic and 3% nitrogen; alfalfa hay 85% organic and 2.5% nitrogen; alfalfa straw 82% organic and 1.5% nitrogen; lima bean straw 82% organic and 1.2% nitrogen; and grain straw 70% organic and .6% nitrogen.
