AIR PROGRESS Both the Army and Navy have come up with startling developments in the air. The Army has proved that the B-36 can fly approximately 4,000 miles in any direction with a load of bombs and still be able to fly back to its base. The Navy's new achievement is the successful launching of two of its P2V Neptunes—the plane holding the world's long distance mark of 11,235 miles—from the deck of a 45,000-ton carrier. These developments indicate that there is virtually no "ceiling" in the possibilities for air progress.

In 1930 he purchased a small lemon grove in Riverside county and at the same time he operated a small chain of service stations and a wholesale and retail gasoline and oil business. In 1939 he purchased and operated a general store until 1943 when he purchased his present ranch. Mr. Sawyer is interested in showing La Habra-East Whittier suffered least damage of any district in Orange county. Its loss was reported as 4.67 per cent.

WATSON HAS BOTH THE KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE necessary for Orange County's representative in the State Senate. Be Sure to Vote June 1st for CLYDE A. WATSON X New Irrigation System Installed In ‘Oldest Valencia Grove’ Near Placentia Orange growers in northern Orange county have seen go into action a new irrigation system on what is credited with being the first Valencia orange grove in California. The grove, now 68 years old, covers about five and a half acres in the 110-acre ranch of the Placentia Fruit company on Placentia avenue, north of Chapman avenue. The new irrigation system was designed by C. M. 'Clem' McColloch who succeeded his father as manager of the ranch. It is a low-head sprinkler system, so arranged that each tree gets exactly as much water as it needs, no more and no less. The new system was installed by McColloch who has had a theory that the conventional furrow irrigation employed in most southern California orchards gives too much water to some trees while others in the same orchards may be near bone-dry. Like many citrus growers who watch their orchards carefully, McColloch believes that irrigation is one of the most important cultural practices involved in producing a crop. But the “first Valencia grove in California,” despite its years of furrow irrigation, still appears to be in prime condition. As in most of the years since it became of bearing age, the grove this year is laden with fruit. In fact, only once has this block of trees reported its earnings in red ink. This was the year of the big freeze in 1937. 20 months, Lt. Col. Charlie Roysleges from 53 to 80 over the last ten, acting superintendent, has announced. The corps is the only state-operated military organization in the nation. Under jurisdiction of the California National Guard, the corps has an enrolment of some 5,800 students pursuing the three-year course in military training. Given a “shot in the arm” by a recent army donation of $5,000 worth of military clothing, through the state educational agency for surplus property, the corps looks forward to still increased enrolment this year, according to Royston. Col. Raymond F. Smith, Commandant of Cadet Corps Area 1, which includes Orange county, is in charge of training operations at Anaheim Union high school. Students from this area will be among the 700 attending the two-weeks summer practical training course at Camp San Luis Obispo, June 26-July 6, he reported. Clint Cary Enters Senator’s Race In what many old time political observers call the most amazing one-man campaign in the county’s recent history, Clint Cary, State Senate aspirant running on the Republican and Democartic tickets, is making a strong bid for a spot in the June 1st primaries. A candidate with old fashioned commercial groves north of the entomologists did something with other things was found that DDT were highly effective. It was claimed that of the experiments, basation was obtained with entomologists the black fly within should it ever cross the tween Mexcio and States. STYMIED AGAIN Hawaii has been once again.

Toastmasters Hear Gabbert Oscar Gabbert, of the Earl J. Smith Associates, currently working with the local Chamber of Commerce on Anaheim's over-all expansion program, was guest speaker at the Toastmaster dinner meeting in La Palma Grill Monday night. His topic was "Keeping Anaheim Ahead." Vice president German Hoch presided. Other guests introduced were Leonard Schauer of the Bank of America, presented by C. O. Carshwiler, and John Dwyer, past master. Patterson trophy honors went to Louis Taylor for his discussion of the water situation in Santa Barbara entitled "A Predicament," his individual critic was Bob J. Allen. Criticized by Hursel Snyder, Robert Balch spoke on "It's Not How Many Fish You Catch, But How Many You Bring Home." Ed Wright presented "Character Analysis," criticized by John Nutzen. Gabbert, who enthusiastically was applauded, had, as critic, Royal Marten. Time keeper for the evening was Ralph Alexander and grammarian was J. C. Thompson. The next Toastmaster session has been postponed from Monday, May 31, to Monday, June 7, at 30 o'clock at La Palma Grill, it has announced. Assignments will be mailed. But the "first Valencia grove in California," despite its years of furrow irrigation, still appears to be in prime condition. As in most of the years since it became of bearing age, the grove this year is laden with fruit. In fact, only once has this block of trees reported its earnings in red ink. This was the year of the big freeze in 1937. This seems to support the view of some citrus growers that in the years that have elapsed since the Valencia variety of oranges was first discovered, the progeny of the first trees have picked up various viruses until the stock has lost much of its vigor. For this reason many growers hope the nucellar seedlings will provide a reinvigorated stock of Valencias as well as Eureka lemons. The origin of the Valencia variety of oranges is somewhat obscure. Best information is that it came to Orange county from South America by way of England. The trees were planted by a group living in Petaluma, and ranch headquarters still is there. Except for shares acquired by the father of the present manager, the stock is still held by heirs of the original owners. A 12-foot shaft bears a bronze tablet which tells briefly the history of the grove. "The first Valencia orange orchard in California," it says, "was planted here in 1880 by R. H. Gilman on the property of the Placentia Fruit Co. The trees still are in flourishing condition. This tablet dedicated by Grace Parlor chapter of Native Daughters of the Golden West, Feb. 1, 1934."

A candidate with old fashioned ideals, Cary has been making an old fashioned campaign of personal contacts and declares in two months he has talked with some 17,000 voters in the county. Although the "Fighting Irishman," has no political machine at his disposal, his stand of determination against Communism and his "businesslike management of government" platform is receiving strong support in the county. A business man himself, Cary has thrifty ideas about cutting taxes and government controls. The Maine-born restaurant owner will oppose Harland Savage and the incumbent Clyde Watson at the State Senate primaries next Tuesday. Black Fruit Fly Wiped Out In Empalme Area Reports from the Elpalme-Guymas district of Mexico indicate that the program of the California-Arizona citrus industry, in cooperation with the Mexican government, has practically eradicated the black fruit fly in that region. Dr. R. S. Woglum, California Fruit Growers Exchange entomologist, and Drs. Plummer and Baker of the U.S. Bureau of Entomology spent two and a half days recently in an intensive inspection of the district and found only six live adult flies and 20 egg masses. This was less than the infestation on a single leaf prior to spraying. An oil-rotenon spray was used in the program, but on some com- Sam L. Collins Has No Opposition Coming Election Sam L. Collins, Speaker of the State Assembly, who is running without opposition in the June 1 primary, has had a long career in public life, including two terms in the United States Congress. He came to California as a small boy in 1903 and has resided here ever since. He is a veteran of the Mexican Border Campaign and World War In 1921 he was admitted to the war and in 1926 became deputy strict attorney. From 1930 to 1932 he was our strict attorney, resigning to become our congressman. In 1940 he was elected to the State Assembly and was the Republican floor leader for two years before becoming Speaker of the Assembly. A resident of Fullerton, he still maintains his law offices there although the press of state legislature affairs requires most of his time. It is highly complimentary to Sam L. Collins that his public and private life is of such a high quality that he is running without opposition. ITS A BOY!

UNION PACIFIC STATION Telephone: 3519 Be Specific—say UNION PACIFIC mercial groves north of Empalme the entomologists did some experimenting with other formulas. It was found that DDT and coal oil were highly effective. It was claimed that as a result of the experiments, basic information was obtained which would enable entomologists to eradicate the black fly within a few months should it ever cross the border between Mexico and the United States. STYMIED AGAIN Hawaii has been left waiting once again. The Senate action in refusing to call the statehood bill out of committee where it has been frozen since 1947, dashed all hope of the islands for admission into the Union this year. The committee wants more data on conditions in Hawaii before approving statehood. To get some of the information first hand the committee members may take a trip to the islands—at the taxpayers' expense. Numerous other congressional groups have taken trips over there for the same reason in the past. Of course, an ocean voyage is very restful and pleasant, especially when it's all for free. But it would seem that Congress should have enough data by this time on the ability of Hawaii to qualify for statehood. If such information has not already been obtained through testimony, documents and previous junkets, it will hardly be gained by another congressional excursion to Waikiki.
