J. Baumgardner, announced this week. Indications point to the infestation as being serious as it was last year he said, pointing out huge colonies of the mites can usually be found in the first 50 to 60 rows bordering fields of alfalfa. Best control advised is dusting sulphur to the underside of leaves, Baumgardner said, adding this should be done 40 to 60 days after planting. Anaheim Gazette, since 1870.

FEDERAL GOVERNMENT Approves 1200-MILE GAS PIPELINE ASSURES ADDITIONAL GAS SUPPLY FOR GROWING SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA On May 31, the Federal Power Commission approved construction of a Texas-California pipeline project to be completed at a cost of more than $70,000,000. Based on applications of Southern California and Southern Counties Gas Companies and El Paso Natural Gas Company, the project is to augment California’s natural gas supply from the extensive reserves in Texas and New Mexico. To be completed for the Winter of 1947-48. You and your 3,500,000 neighbors enjoy living standards set by Southern California’s fabulous Horn of Plenty... a wealth of natural resources, a climate that is unsurpassed, a fuller, better way of life. But as we grow, the demands on our resources are increasing steadily; and maintaining these standards is a challenge... The continuance of a plentiful supply of natural gas, for example, is vital for our millions of homes and future development. The energy that natural gas already delivers to Southern California is tremendous; and our postwar building program has yet to start! Future Supply Southern California has met the challenge of the future with vision and daring enterprise: Southern California has met the challenge of the future with vision and daring enterprise: Construction of a spectacular 1200-mile pipeline to transport a continuing supply of natural gas from the Mid-Continent Fields in Texas has now been fully approved by the California Railroad Commission and the Federal Power Commission. California gas companies will construct the portion of the line from the California border westwards, and the El Paso Natural Gas Company, which will supply the gas, will build the balance of the line. Southern California is indeed fortunate in being able to tap the abundant reserves of the Mid-Continent Fields. The new project will put to use a large volume of gas now being wasted for lack of a market...and still greater reserves are available for future needs! Big Project This 1200-mile pipeline, crossing the Continental Divide, is to be one of Southern California's great engineering undertakings. It is the largest, long-distance gas transmission line ever built, with a pipeline measuring up to 30 inches in diameter! The natural gas it is to transport would care for every home in the four metropolitan cities of Akron, San Antonio, Des Moines and Indianapolis combined. At its ultimate capacity, it will deliver the equivalent energy daily of 47,000 barrels of oil...or 189 carloads of coal...or three times the electrical energy produced by Boulder Dam. Work Started Preliminary work is under way: orders for the 258,000 tons of pipe have been placed; a survey of the 1200-mile route has nearly been completed. Actual construction will provide more than 4,000,000 man-hours of work. It starts early this Fall and will be ready for the Winter of 1947-48. The approval of this project, so vital to Southern California's future development, is a gratification we believe every home owner can share. SOUTHERN COUNTIES GAS COMPANY
