If enough farmers of Orange county will use and sponsors boys' harvest camps, such camps can be made available through the labor office of the Agricultural Extension Service, says Farm Advisor H. E. Wahlberg. Contacts are being made this week with farm employer groups to determine what interest there is in establishing harvest camps in Orange county. All growers associations have been advised of the availability of harvest camps and the urgency of declaring their need of such help at this time so that plans can be made to organize the students from the city areas before schools are dismissed in June. In view of the greater farm labor shortage this season, due to heavier draft withdrawals from the farms, and the recently announced reduced number of Mexican Nationals that will be made available to California agriculture, it would seem desirable that growers prepare for the future emergency, says Wahlberg. Farmers and growers associations that wish to fortify against possible labor shortages during the summer months and who are willing to share in sponsoring a boys' harvest camp in their district, are urged to contact or write George Wells, Farm Placement Manager, 1622 N. Main St., Santa Ana, as soon as possible. The planning and organization of such camps must be completed well before schools are closed in June. Camp managers and youth work supervisors will be provided and paid by the Agricultural Extension Service, according to Wahlberg. Orlando A.

When the need for wood for war purposes grew so great, came a suggestion from back East that citrus fruits go to market in fibreboard. When Orange, Riverside and Bernardino Counties go to the state legislature and ask for an appropriation for the purpose of holding the control of the flood waters of the Santa Ana river they can count on the support of the fourteen counties of the Sacramento Valley for the project. That these counties would support southern California flood control projects was declared by George Peltier, well known banker, and reclamation leader of Sacramento and Melville Dozier Jr., General Manager of the State Reclamation Board in Santa Ana, Sunday. A Huntington Beach rancher sold 17 fat hogs to a local beef company for $17.50 per 100 pounds. The hogs were a fine lot stock, having been fed on corn and lima beans. The beans were the ones rejected at the warehouse during the process of hand making, and were free from dirt, and were cooked before being fed to the hogs. This price for live hogs indicates why pork chops come high. Edwin Miller, Earl Crist and Fred Bittner reached home Friday, having been discharged from the army at the Presidio. These boys saw hard service in France at all managed to dodge the Huntsiles of death and return home and well. As a pleasure sort they have no use forrance. Fred Lauterbach and Miss Etta Sumacher were married Friday. Rev. C. B. Hatch performing the ceremony. The bride is the daughter of Mrs. Maddie Schumacher of North Claudina street, and the room is one of Anaheim's progressive business men. Orlando A. Corona and Miss Shelia Daniels were united in marriage by Justice of the Peace Edward Monday. The bride has a number of years been one of the clerks at Falkenstein's department store and is popular among a wide circle of acquaintances. The groom has been living in Uncle Sam's Navy and is just recently been discharged. J. P. Zeyn, E. W. Champlin, H. A. McWilliams and Samuel Hill are in San Francisco to offer the Del Campo Hotel to the Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows as the site for the Odd Fellows Home. The matter will probably be decided today. Captain Ferguson is in high feather just now, having made the sale of the Mouliot property to the Eastern purchaser, and received probably the largest commission of the year. Alcalde Egan of San Juan Capistrano also had a hand in this notable real estate transaction. The purchase price is something like $30,000, and both gentlemen will divide a three thousand dollar commission between them. Miss Hattie Baker, the accomplished local editor of the Santa Ana Standard, who gets out a better paper when the old man is away at the Springs, was in town a few days this week, the guest of Miss Cora Lewis, and made a pleasant call at this office. Peter B. Martin of San Francisco, son of Mrs. E. Martin of that city, who is extensively interested in real estate hereabouts, has been in the city during the week attending to business connected with his mother's interests. Miss Mary Rimpau received on Saturday afternoon a tiny white Mexican dog from friends in Tia Juana. The dog came up on the San Diego express, was a great pet on the way up and is highly prized by its owner. An accident happened at the Landing on May Day that might have been serious, but as it turned out was a lucky escape. While Miss Mai Polhemus and Robert Sterns were driving along the beach their sorrel pony stopped short so suddenly that Mr. Sterns took a header clear over the horses head, turning a complete summersault. He picked himself up, shook off the sand got into the cart again and after some tall persuading with the whip, the sorrel was again started and the drive on the beach was resumed. Whether the horse took fright at Ship Citrus in Paper Boxes? When the need for wood for war purposes grew so great, came a suggestion from back East that citrus fruits go to market in fibreboard containers, like canned goods. Sunkist, pledged to 100% cooperation with the war effort, tried out the idea. The Field Service Department of the Exchange supervised the loading of a car with oranges carefully packed in corrugated paper cartons. Trouble was, the idea did not take into account that citrus fruits breathe and perspire, like people. The cartons grew moist, soggy. Those at the bottom bulged, broke, filled the car with a mingled mass of fruit and slimy paper pulp. So citrus fruits are still allowed to travel in wooden boxes, the only practical way to get this essential food to Eastern markets. All the same, the container situation continues critical. There are barely enough boxes to go round. There'd be a ruinous shortage right now except for something that happened back in 1906. In 1906, to assure an adequate supply of boxes at reasonable cost, the Sunkist growers formed the Fruit Growers Supply Company, secured a shook supply, eventually bought their own mills and timberland. Normally the Fruit Growers Supply Company furnishes less than half the boxes Sunkist growers use. Today, with shook production of other mills drastically reduced by the war, the Fruit Growers Supply Company has been turning hand-springs. Last year it managed to increase production 37% in order to keep Exchange members supplied. This, of course, is just one more example of the way the 14,500 Sunkist growers are able to meet tough situations by COOPERATIVE action. Exchange members realize that not Orlando A. Corona and Miss Shelia Daniels were united in marriage by Justice of the Peace Edward Monday. The bride has been a number of years been one of the clerks at Falkenstein's department store and is popular among a wide circle of acquaintances. The groom has been living in Uncle Sam's Navy and just recently been discharged. Irving Gates, after doing his bit France, reached home Monday, and to be under the old roof rain. Irving was a member of the hospital corps, 159 Inft, being the Somme front when themistice was signed. He was discharged at the Presidio. Elden Dodson is in jail for marring Miss Fern Ramella when already had a wife living inkersfield. The marriage was ruled and he pleaded guilty andough his attorney, Clyde Biscot, applied for probation. P. Gildea has sold his seven-eleven ranch on North street to Robert Quarton, the consideration $11,000. Mr. Gildea and his family will move to Long Beach. Fred Schneider and family came down from Hamilton City and are ending the week visiting friends. They made the trip by auto. Fred now engaged in raising grain this Glenn County farm. Mr. and Mrs. Hartung spent several days the past week in Imperial Valley, San Diego and Monado returning home Saturday. Earl Steadman writes his parishes from Brest, France, saying he has been promoted to paroral of his squad. With him out was a lucky escape. While Miss Mai Polhemus and Robert Sterns were driving along the beach their sorrel pony stopped short so suddenly that Mr. Sterns took a header clear over the horses head, turning a complete summersault. He picked himself up, shook off the sand got into the cart again and after some tall persuading with the whip, the sorrel was again started and the drive on the beach was resumed. Whether the horse took fright at a sea-serpent or not, it is impossible to say. Clarence Groat informs us that the new cement ditch on East ditch is a veritable gopher trap, and one morning recently he found a dozen of them, dead in the ditch at Center street. The varmints crawl down to get a drink, as was their practice during the old sand ditch regime, and when they start back, find they cannot get up as they used to in the sand. They tumble in the water, say their prayers and pass in their checks. News arrfved in this city Sunday of the birth of a son in Victoria, B. C., to Mr. and Mrs. Horace Green on May 2nd.

Father announces that the Catholic church will be moved from its present site to one adjoining St. Catherine's Academy other mills drastically reduced by the war, the Fruit Growers Supply Company has been turning hand-springs. Last year it managed to increase production 37% in order to keep Exchange members supplied. This, of course, is just one more example of the way the 14,500 Sunkist growers are able to meet tough situations by COOPERATIVE action. Exchange members realize that not only their Supply Company but their Field Service, Research Departments, Products Plants, Legal Service, Advertising Department, Dealer Service, Traffic Department and the nation-wide Sunkist Sales Department all contribute year in and year out to Sunkist growers' security. Have you said to yourself, "After the war I'm going to join the Exchange"? Why not heed the words of Sunkist growers who say, "You never know what emergencies will arise in wartime. I know I'll come through better when I have 14,500 other growers WORKING WITH ME than I ever could alone." NEXT REPORT: A Phone Call to Charley.
