50 Years Ago Sept. 4. 1887 Anaheim was blessed by a rather sharp shower of rain early last Monday morning. By 7 o'clock the clouds had rolled away. Between Downey and Los Angeles rain fell to the amount of 20 of an inch, making the streets very muddy. One of the effects of this early rain was to cause the seventeen-inch brick wall 40 feet long in the basement of a building now being erected on Spring street, Los Angeles to be thrown down by the pressure of mud behind the wall. Anaheim Landing is rapidly being deserted by the campers. A few Anaheim residents are still there, and several tents of people from other points in the county.

Center St. Anaheim, Ca Chemical Tests of Land Vary No chemical quick test method is suitable as a sole guide for judging crop adaptation and fertilizer requirements of soils in all localities and under all conditions, according to M. S. Anderson and W. M. Noble, of the bureau of chemistry and soils, United States department of agriculture. Neither can any one test kit be regarded as the best under all conditions. Each has merit, but all vary in their applicability to particular circumstances. Seven test kits and several laboratory methods, compared on widely diversified soils, varied in their diagnosis of soil constituents and soil needs. For many years agriculturists have sought chemical means of determining the available portion of phosphorus, potassium, and sometimes other elements in the soil. Many methods have been used with varying success. Equipment for carrying out several of these tests has been arranged in compact commercial test kits that may be operated by persons of limited training. State agricultural experiment stations have found quick chemical tests valuable in diagnosing soil needs when the results have been interpreted by trained agronomists. These stations, however, possess more information than the average person would have regarding the responses of various crops grown on different local soils after application of fertilizers. There is no proof that quick tests will be valuable to a person in a particular locality, but Communists Ask Water District Board To Meet Strikers' Terms Representing the Communist party of Los Angeles, Albert Lewis and Allan Bryan, along with approximately 20 other men and women, appeared before the board of directors of the Metropolitan water district Friday afternoon to protest the board's action in not signing an agreement granting sale bargaining power to members of a C. I. O. union now on strike on the San Jacinto tunnel of the Metropolitan aqueduct. "I represent 2,500 members of the Los Angeles Communist party," Lewis stated, "all of whom are taxpayers. Many of our members are members of trade unions over which we have considerable influence. We believe that the board of directors of the Metropolitan water district should accede to the demands of the striking tunnel workers and sign the agreement which they have proposed." Bryan stated that he also represented the Los Angeles Communist party. He said that he and Lewis had not been sent before the district board at the request of the strikers. A. L. Gram, executive secretary of the board of directors, announced that no request for a public discussion of the strike situation had been received by the board. Perry H. Greer, acting chairman of the board, announced, however, that the board meeting was open to any group or individual who cared to make any statement regarding the situation. Several men who stated that they were among the San Jacinto tunnel strikers were also present in the group that appeared before the district board. Others who addressed the board and requested that the strikers demands be granted were Mrs. Alice Oran, who stated that she represented the American League Against War and Fascism, and a woman who said she was LaRue McCormick, executive secretary, Southern California district of the International Labor Defense. Acting Chairman Greer stated that the position of the district board had been made clear in a letter to all employees in which it was stated that as a governmental organization the Metropolitan water district could not and would not recognize any one group as the sole bargaining agency for the employees of the water district. In answer to requests from individuals who addressed the board, this letter was read to the group. State agricultural experiments have found quick chemical tests valuable in diagnosing soil needs when the results have been interpreted by trained agronomists. These stations, however, possess more information than the average person would have regarding the responses of various crops grown on different local soils after application of fertilizers. There is no proof that quick tests will be valuable to a person in a particular locality, but they are thought to be of value under certain circumstances, particularly to one who likes to make practical field or garden experiments. A. L. Gram, executive secretary of the board of directors, announced that no request for a public discussion of the strike situation had been received by the board. Perry H. Greer, acting chairman of the board, announced, however, that the board meeting was open to any group or individual who cared to make any business and professional directory FLOWERS—For All Occasions Telephone 3224 Anaheim Anaheim Flower Shop Mrs. E.
