Latest Reports On Crops Show Normal Trend Latest reports on agricultural conditions in Southern California show that lemons and Valencia oranges are moving from the area in normal volume. The Valencia harvest is more than half over and past its peak. The new Navel crop is showing good growth and production is expected to be near normal. Harvesting of summer varieties of avocados is about completed. Early estimates foretell a smaller Puerto rican crop than last year, a reduction of probably about 30 per cent. Conditions have been favorable for dates and a record crop is predicted. Walnut production in the southern areas will be substantially more than last season, less in the north; however, a total crop of 63,000 tons will about equal that of a year ago. Table grapes are moving in volume from the San Joaquin Valley and Lodi Tokays will be plentiful early in September. The California grape crop is estimated at 2,608,000 tons, including 1,488,000 tons of raisin variety grapes, 589,000 tons of wine, and 529,000 tons of table grapes. While total production is under that of last year, it exceeds the 10-year average. In the Los Angeles territory are such fall maturing crops as cauliflower, cabbage, beans and cucumbers. Sweet corn, peppers, green limas, squash and string beans are in good supply.

SHORT SHORTS Another Labor Day came to pass this week, bringing with it the great doings of the nation such as shows, parades and land, sea and air races. The best races of the whole kaboodle came off right on Center street—automobile vs. pedestrian—with the pedestrian (as usual) trying to make it over a safety lane and the automobile trying to make it over the pedestrian. Another lady was noticed this week, caught dead center in a safety lane, with two lines of cars speeding past. Chivalry, huh! She's okay, but it certainly was a close shave. Someone just nominated her "Mrs. Pool Cue of 1946". Rumors that 10-cent hamburgers were being sold at Spivey's Grill on 101 East eCnter street received a quick spiking last week. Seems a customer was said to confuse the price of coffee with that of a hamburger. Sad to say, the impression turned out to be quite incorrect. Hamburgers remain 25 cents each! Of historical interest: Fire Chief R. Nyboe missed two fires during the past 20 years. On each occasion he was attending a firemen's convention! During the fiscal year of 1945-46, Anaheim pumped and purchased nearly twice as much water as it did 10 years ago; and during July alone, the city pumped more than 25 per cent of the entire total for the fiscal year of 1933-34. Vard Hannum, superintendent of water power, asserted the rise in population and enormous growth of industry is the cause of Chief test engineer for Lookheen with army, navy, and marine air show at Long Beach Munli LeVier, who is acclaimed the w stunts a P-38 Lighting, enacting miles per hour. Martin J. Herzler Passes on Sunday Martin J. Herzler, 84 years of age, passed away at the family home on Orange avenue on Sunday, September 1. Born in Belleville, Illinois, he had been a resident of Anaheim for the past thirty-six years. Left to mourn his passing are his wife, Amelia H. Herzler of the home; one grandson, Lawrence Rains also of the home. In the Los Angeles territory are such fall maturing crops as cauliflower, cabbage, beans and cucumbers. Sweet corn, peppers, green limas, squash and string beans are in good supply. Special Furlough Procedure Given What to do when a family has an emergency situation at home necessitating the presence of a son serving in the armed forces was told this week by Mrs. M. A. Gauer, chairman of the local Red Cross chapter. “If the family, in addition to letting their son know of the emergency situation, will also inform the chapter, we can immediately inform the Red Cross field director at the boy’s post,” Mrs. Gauer said. “Since the boy’s commanding officer will ask the field director, in practically all cases, to obtain information on the emergency, much time and expense can be saved if the field director has the information at hand and does not have to write or telephone the chapter for it.” When the commanding officer has information on the emergency During the fiscal year of 1945-46, Anaheim pumped and purchased nearly twice as much water as it did 10 years ago; and during July alone, the city pumped more than 25 per cent of the entire total for the fiscal year of 1933-34. Vard Hannum, superintendent of water power, asserted the rise in population and enormous growth of industry is the cause of it all. Of biological interest: Can anyone identify the author of this little poem: “A funny creature is the flea; You cannot tell the he from she; But he can tell... And so can she!” Lions, tigers and panthers all have slim waists because they are meat-eaters, while nearly all vegetarians of the animal world have potbellies. This is merely a hint to the “hay-eating” humans who wonder why they can't lose weight even while they're starving themselves into a state of exhaustion. Job printing. The Gazette. Phone 2206.

Assisted by his nine-year old son, Jimmy, who was the "bird spotter," Wingert spent last Sunday and Monday afternoon north of Corona near, the Santa Ana river with a Browning automatic 16-gauge shot gun. "Lots of doves and more expected," said Wingert. "Place was crowded with hunters behind every bush and tree craning their necks for birds," he commented. PTA Leader Asks Peoples' Support Of Proposition 3 "California's public school system is threatened with collapse unless strong measures are taken to recruit thousands of new teachers throughout the state," was the declaration by Mrs. Rollin Brown of Los Angeles, president of the California Congress of Parents and Teachers, in an urgent message to the people in support of Proposition No. 3 in the November general election. Passage of this proposition would set a minimum salary of $2,400 per year for public school teachers.

The cost bulletin was made possible through the cooperation of almost 100 Orange county citrus difficult to form a caravan. "All Orange county persons interested in birds are invited to attend," Sanders said, "a number of interesting water-birds have already returned to this area from their summer pilgrimages, according to report, and in consequence, a considerable number of different varieties of birds will be observed." AS OTHERS SEE US The American people are always very much interested in what foreigners think about—the American people. Sometimes their views are pleasing to us, sometimes painful often they are startling and occasionally amusing. It would seem that the description of us recently given by a visiting Englishman interviewed by Business Week Magazine partakes a little of all four categories. What he said is worth repeating—and thinking about. America, he said, "remains the only place on earth where everything can be completely screwy and almost everyone can still get along quite well. You have buyers' strikes and new sales records marching along hand in hand; you break production records while workers are breaking records for striking; greater supplies of almost everything and greater shortages of everything tag right along together; politically, you put in most of your time complaining that that fellow in the White House doesn't do anything while the last time I was here you were as unanimously complaining that that man in the White House would not stop doing things; almost everyone says the government is terrible, but almost no one seriously suggests doing much of anything about it except complaining; and along you roll irrationally, irrelevantly, and yet vastly more prosperously and cheerfully than any one over her husband, "Chancelon" Roquet. Seems Dick Max failed to bring his wife. A watermelon feed was the thuslastic conclusion of the meeting with the "boys consume quite a stack." Next regular meeting is set October 2, same time and place. Construction of Non-Housing Units Ordered Cut Down As the result of a government-wide decision to tighten control on non-housing construction, Lee is M. Dreves of Los Angeles regional director of the Civil Production Administration, he instructed his staff in Southern California, Arizona and Utah immediately extend every effort to reduce the amount of industrial, commercial and institutional construction approvals by one percent. This will add several million dollars of proposed building to the backlog of non-housing construction in one of the most rapidly expanding populations in the United States. "This new cut in approvals, we first since May 29, means that interpretations of criteria up which approvals have been must be revamped," Dreves declared. The hardship criteria, which has been subject to widespread criticism on the housing front, one of the first to be revamped.

All state and national parks the west was included in the tr Cost for Citrus Growing Totaled In Latest Annual Farm Advisor Harold E. Wahlberg has just released the 20th annual summary of the cost of producing Valencias and lemons in Orange county. The cost bulletin was made possible through the cooperation of almost 100 Orange county citrus growers, who furnished detailed orchard maintenance costs through the year. In addition to the analysis of the 1945 orchard costs, a review of 20 years data showing the trend of costs and returns for oranges and lemons during that period is included. The highest costs in the 20 years covered by the study occurred in 1945. Labor and material costs were $188.74 per acre in 1945, as compared to $86.82 an acre in 1941. Some of the principal orchard costs in 1945 were as follows: Irrigation water, $12.23 an acre; irrigation labor, $12.48; cultivation, $22.71; fertilization, $61.40; spraying, $32.97; fumigation (where done) $41.10; pruning, $31.14; county taxes, $25.56 an acre. Valencia growers reported that they had an average of 17.6 acre inches per acre of irrigation water. The average production last year was 344 packed boxes per acre, the highest average production of any year during the 20 years covered by the study. The cooperators reported their highest yield last year to be 648 packed boxes or 945 field boxes. The lowest yield was 135 packed boxes or 182 field boxes per acre. Ten orchards have participated in the study continuously through the 20 year period. A section of the bulletin is devoted to an appraisal of their costs and earnings. Pertinent recommendations are also included on orchard analysis, efficient irrigation and fertilization practices as reflected in this long time orchard study in Orange County. The Farm Advisor's office in Santa Ana has available a limited number of these bulletins.

It is quite obvious from his statement that he cannot understand how we get along with all our inconsistencies. Neither can we. 'Ike' Waltons See Tournament Movies Colored moving pictures of the famous annual casting tournament in La Palma park, shown by Hugo Schultz, were enjoyed by 108 members of the local Izaak Walton club and their guests.
