Conservation Farming Is Paying Off The record farm production of 1948 is but a part of the return on the investment in conservation farming for the past 12 years, says Roy L. Hale, Chairman of the Orange County Agricultural Conservation Committee. "The nation's assistance to farmers to help them carry out soil and water conservation practices is really paying off." Conservation, of course, would not entirely overcome extremely unfavorable weather nor widespread losses from insects and disease but it does make possible increased yields from better strains, more efficient methods and improved insect and disease control. Without the right kind of soil conditions these other improvements would still be ineffective. Under the Agricultural Conservation Program, the Chairmar points out, farmers of this country have in the past 12 years terraced 14,177,000 acres, about 700,000 miles; constructed 680,000 erosion and flood control dams on farms and ranches; planted 622,000 acres of trees, seeded 102,000,000 acres of crops on the contour; applied 185,947,000 tons of lime to 104,733,000 acres of farmland and applied 15,789 tons of phosphate fertilizer to 123,400,000 acres to make possible the growing of legumes for soil improvement and erosion control; established 62,214,000 acres of strip-cropping for wind and water erosion control; and grown and plowed under 198,180,000 acres of cover and green manure crops to add organic matter and build resistance to erosion. Grafton Band Previews Rose Parade Here Smartly, clad in wine and grey uniforms, 78 members of the Grafton (North Dakota) municipal band paraded through downtown Ahaheim Friday morning in preview of their participation in the sixtieth annual tournament of Roses parade in Pasadena the following day as the only invited outside musical organization. Directed by J. I. Birkeland, the band was viewed by a large crowd of citizens from this vicinity. The musical organization left Grafton December 25 on a special Pullman train, arriving in Seattle, Washington, then Portland, Oregon as special guests of the Chambers of Commerce. Wednesday night of last week, the band was honored by the Santa Monica chamber before arriving here. Kenneth Hellyer, local chamber president, extended an invitation to the group to visit this city. The band was also greeted by Richard Gay, chairman of the events committee, E. W. Moeller, chamber executive-secretary, and M. A. McDonald, 917 North Dickel street, former Grafton resident, who suggested the invitation to the Governor's band. The Grafton musicians left Los Angeles Monday for their home city after attending a North Dakota state picnic given in their honor all day Sunday in Sycamore Grove, Los Angeles. McInnis Rites Held Tuesday Funeral services for John J. McInnis, 82, who died at his home, 6741 Ball road, Anaheim, Saturday evening after an extended illness, were conducted at Hilgenfeld mortuary Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock. A native of Charlottetown, Revenues from excise tax sessed on October distributiof alcoholic beverages sharply to less than 60 percent the October, 1947, level and than 77 percent of the Septembrer 1948, level, according to figure leased by William G. B. chairman of the State Board Equalization. Tax assessment October totalled $1,269,555 compared with $1,919,470 for October, 1947, and $1,306,733 September, 1948. When adjusted to remove effects of seasonal variation October, 1948, revenues were their second lowest point in than four years, exceeding those for January. 1948. He stated. The principal reason this, he added, was that in ber retailers were reducing ventories built up in Septembrer Because the tax applies on w sale transactions rather than tail sales, the accumulation inventories in October provo no beverage excise taxes. Beverage excise tax revived for October, 1948, appear pa larly deficient in comparison revenues for October, 1947. Inli observed. However, Octu 1947, was also a month in retailers were building up inventories, fearing tha threatened grain shortage produce a scarcity of alcoh beverages. Among all classes of alcoh beverages, only the table obutions of natural dry win October gained in relati those of the preceding month ago. Bonelli noted. The 5 gallons assessed were 9.3 p above the total of Septembrer 1948, and 1.3 percent above of October, 1947. Taxable beer distributions Park Club Seats Officers for Year At the executive meeting of the Anaheim Park club held at the club house Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock, officers and members of the board were officially installed to guide the affairs of this group for the next year. A. Wreidt is the new president with the following officers to assist him: R. Corbett, first vice-president; H. Lepper, second vice-president; George Trout, secretary-treasurer; F.

Despite Polio Epidemic General Health of California Was Good Although California had a major polio epidemic this year, the general health of the state was good, with reduction in virtually every other disease. Dr. Wilton L. Halverson, state director of public health, said California had fewer cases of malignant diseases this year than at any time previous. Mrs. John Spykerman, 301 North Emily street, florist professionally known as Ottillie Stechert of Stechert's Flower Shop, entered Loma Vista hospital last week where she will be under treatment for an indiefinite period of time. McInnis Rites Held Tuesday Funeral services for John J. McInnis, 82, who died at his home, 6741 Ball road, Anaheim, Saturday evening after an extended illness, were conducted at Hilgenfeld mortuary Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock. A native of Charlottetown, Prince Edward Islands, Canada, McInnis had lived in the United States for 62 years, 23 of which he spent in Anaheim. Surviving are his wife, Mrs. Harriet I. McInnis and numerous nieces and nephews. Interment was in Westminster Memorial Park. Egg Prices Show Decline A decline in wholesale quotations on eggs and a steady butter market were reported by the California crop and livestock reporting service. The drop in egg prices, while expected in January, was heavier than was expected and quotations slid downward five cents. Increasing shipments from the central western states to the Pacific coast to add to California's estimated annual production of 158,892,000 dozens of eggs, 2,531,-000 dozen of which were produced in Orange county, accounted for the decline. Wholesale quotations on eggs in the northern part of the state today were: Grade A large, 64-64½ cents; Grade A medium, 62-62½ cents; Grade A small, 57-57½ cents; Grade B large, 60-60½ cents. Meanwhile at San Francisco, the butter market was reported steady with grade AA quoted at 67 cents; grade A 66-67 cents; and grade B at 67 cents. However, the crop reporting service said liberal supplies of top grades which are reaching markets, and the anticipated slow demand, have given the market an unsettled outlook.

THE SOUTHERN COUNTY BANK A Friendly, Home Bank Member Federal Deposit Anaheim, California Insurance Corporation Excise Taxes Show Decline Revenues from excise taxes assessed on October distributions of alcoholic beverages declined sharply to less than 60 percent of the October, 1947, level and less than 77 percent of the September, 1948, level, according to figures released by William G. Bonelli, chairman of the State Board of Qualification. Tax assessments for October totalled $1,269,522 as compared with $1,919,470 for October, 1947, and $1,306,735 for September, 1948. When adjusted to remove the effects of seasonal variations, the October, 1948, revenues were at their second lowest point in more than four years, exceeding only those for January, 1948, Bonelli noted. The principal reason for these he added, was that in October retailers were reducing inventories built up in September. Because the tax applies on whole transactions rather than real sales, the accumulation of inventories in October produced beverage excise taxes. Beverage excise tax revenues in October, 1948, appear particularly deficient in comparison with revenues for October, 1947, Bonelli observed. However, October, 1947, was also a month in which tailors were building up their inventories, fearing that the depleted grain shortage would reduce a scarcity of alcoholic beverages. Among all classes of alcoholic beverages, only the table districtions of natural dry wines in October gained in relation to use of the preceding month and corresponding period a year later. Bonelli noted. The 526,127 tons assessed were 9.3 percent over the total of September, 1948, and 1.3 percent above that October, 1947.

He came to Orange from Ketchikan, Alaska, after having taken a two-year post-graduate course in surgery at the University of Pennsylvania where he obtained a Master's degree in surgery in 1934. The war interrupted his practice in 1942. He served with the military as an air corps flight surgeon from 1942 to 1946.

Stanley of Orange county. Stanley introduced legislation that, if passed, would authorize the establishment of a permanent state college within the county or on an alternate site in the southeastern part of Los Angeles county.
