County Farm Bureau Studies Problem or Overage Citrus In Orange county there are citrus trees approaching the age when they are no longer economical to retain. This problem is faced by many growers, and a thought must be given to replanting. Replanting citrus in old citrus soils is not recommended, according to Farm Advisor C. D. Gustafson. In the past years it has been observed that the growth of orange, lemon and grapefruit trees planted in soils previously cropped to citrus is somewhat reduced. Tree growth and production is reduced to about 25-50 per cent of the original planting. In the past few months there has been a material used which has shown some promise in producing increased growth. During May, 10 test plots were established in Orange county using this new material on citrus replants. Each test plot consists of 10 trees, five treated and five check trees. The plots are located in Santa Ana, Tustin, Lemon Heights, Anaheim, Fullerton, Placentia, and Yorba Linda. The material used in these trials was 12 per cent Gamma Isomer Benzene hexachloride, applied at a rate of one gallon to the tree. The application was made on the soil at the drip of the tree. The age of trees treated ranged from one to 15 years old. The trees selected were ones which definitely showed a stunting. Observations and checks of the plots will be made periodically to determine the effectiveness of this material.

Unchecked Blaze Roaring Through National Forest TRUTH OR CONSEQUENCES (P)—More than 30,000 acres of timber lay in ashes today as a fire in the Gila National Forest raged uncontrolled for the fifth day. At least 1200 men were on the fire lines attempting to draw them tight around the 60 to 70 mile front. Most of the lines must be dug by hand since the fire lays in the nearly impassable Black mountain region 45 miles southeast of Truth or Consequences. The forest service is bringing men, equipment and supplies from seven states to help in the fight. Weather forecasts for the area today hold out some hope of rain. But there is danger of lightning from thunderstorms over the fire area. The humidity, only five per cent for the past few days, reached 50 per cent at midnight last night. Seven states—California, Arizona, Utah, Montana, Texas, Colorado and Washington—were aiding New Mexico fight the fire. Successful Peace Could be Made WASHINGTON (P)—Secretary of State Acheson said today withdrawal of communist forces behind the 38th parallel in Korea could be considered "a successful conclusion of the conflict." He told the House Foreign Affairs committee the United States military aim in Korea is "to repel aggression and restore peace and security to the area. "If this aggression is stopped, and with guarantees that it will not be resumed, then you will have repelled aggression and restored peace and security in the area." Acheson was before the committee to support the proposed $8,500,000,000 foreign aid program. His statement about Korean peace prospects came while members quizzed him closely on the cease fire proposal by Jacob Malik, Soviet delegate to the United Nations. Rep. Smith (R-Wis.) asked whether withdrawal of communist forces behind the 38th parallel could be considered "a successful end" to the Korean fighting, since it failed to unify all of Korea. "Yes, sir," Acheson replied, "I would say we would have had a successful end of the conflict." Earlier, in urging the foreign aid program, Acheson told the group that Soviet expansion by "encroachment" has "got to be stopped." Plaster of Paris received its name because it was first manufactured in the neighborhood of the French capital. $7,628,000 in Highway Contracts Completed in County Since 1945 During the period from July 1, 1945, to date highway contracts completed in Orange county totaled respectively $7,628,000, contracts under way aggregate $4,-550,000, and projects budgeted in Orange amount to $4,650,000.

These figures, furnished by Director of Public Works C. H. Purcell, were released at a luncheon meeting recently by Highway Commissioner Harrison R. Baker of Pasadena. Other facts released showed that 98.5 miles of highway have been completed since July 1, 1945, are underway or are immediately scheduled. These projects total $16,828,000. Pronounced effort has been put forth in Orange county since 1945 to provide divided four lane roadways along the Santa Ana Freeway between the Los Angeles county line and Santa Ana. Two contracts were completed early in 1951 for developing 7.9 miles of this route from the county line to Miraflores and bids were opened June 1, 1951 for constructing 2.8 miles additional in Santa Ana between Broadway and First st. This latest project will involve grading new roadways, the placing of portland cement concrete pavement and constructing grade separation structures. Two contracts have been completed and another is underway on US 91 between Heim ave. and Corona through the Santa Ana Canyon. When finished, a modern highway, a large part of which consists of divided four lane roadways will be available for traffic between Santa Ana and San Bernardino. Several contracts have been put underway on US 101 Alternate to increase roadway width and surfacing. After completion of the project included in the 1951-52 budget, this route will be improved over a distance of about 33 miles since 1945.

Killing Described For Record in Birdsall Trial SAN BERNARDINO (AP)—Rose Marie Birdsall's statement describing how she killed her brother-in-law is in the record in her murder trial. She is accused of the Jan. 30 slaying of Warren Eddenfield, 46, Rialto and Chino cafe operator who employed the 24-year-old waitress. Miss Birdsall sat motionless, her eyes closed, while prosecutor Robert J. Simpson and court reporter Roy Cain read the question-and-answer statement to the jury yesterday. It was taken eight days after the slaying. In it Miss Birdsall told of driving up a lonely Mt. Baldy road with Eddenfield. She said that when she tried to make a U-turn he became angry, grabbed the car keys and pushed her from the driver's seat to the passenger's seat. "He started to make advances," the statement continued. "He said some vulgar things and kept trying to kiss me. He said 'I guess you know I've been waiting a long frost hazards will be discussed by the Farm Advisor.

He re Announcement was issued today by the Farm Advisor's office that a review of the cost of producing oranges in Orange county will be presented at the Farm Bureau hall this Thursday, June 28, at 3:30 p.m. Farm Advisor Harold E. Wahlberg will analyze the significance of the various orchard operation costs reflected in the summary of the 1950 season which has just been completed by his office. This is the 25th annual summary of the cost of producing Valencias Orange county, and is said to be the longest continuous analysis of fruit production costs in the United States. The report covers the orchard costs collected from 60 Valencia orchards located in the principal citrus districts of Orange county. For purposes of studying the effect of practices on orchard production and returns, factors in the 20 high producing orchards were compared with similar factors in the 20 low producing orchards. The effects of various amounts of fertilizer, pest control and frost hazards will be discussed by the Farm Advisor. Andrew Smiley, farm accountant of Orange and expert in tax matters has been invited by Chairman Richard Basse of the citrus growers department to answer questions from the growers on tax matters. All citrus growers are invited to attend the meeting at the Farm Bureau hall located at 353 South Main st., Orange. Striking Workers (Continued from Page 1) But the union had rejected this offer. As an alternative, the company had then offered to renew the recently-expired contracts long with a 10 per cent wage increase. The union also rejected this proposal but said that it wanted to continue discussions. The company agreed to continue negotiations throughout the night in hope of reaching a settlement before yesterday's strike headline set by the union. Included in the company's offer was its previous proposal for 10 per cent wage increase and expanded union and employee benefits. During the night-long negotiations, further concessions were made by the company on grievance matters, arbitration of disputes, leaves of absence for employees, and time off for union activities. Negotiations were resumed at 6:15 yesterday morning, subject to call by either the union or the company. Commenting upon the strike by the CWA-CIO, Manager R. J. Cassberg said: "Our offer to the union is the best wage offer we have ever made and completely meets the union wage demands. We also have been more than fair meeting the union's other demands. We have done all that reasonably can to avert a work stoppage, but the company cannot free to provisions that make it difficult, if not impossible, to operate the business effectively." finer perform...to do more work f ... to do more work TWO GREAT ENGINES.

CONE BROTHERS 215 No. Los Angeles St. — Anaheim Kiwanis Clubmen Hear Story of Sunkist Battle "California citrus products are going to push Florida frozen and canned citrus items right off the map here in Southern California and end once and for all, the fantastic sight of Southland homemakers ignoring superior California citrus products for those of Florida." Speaking before the Anaheim Kiwanis club, this noon, Don Anderson, California Fruit Growers Exchange secretary, announced the greatest single advance in Southern California citrus history in 50 years—the marketing of processed citrus juice and concentrate under the famous Sunkist label. The meeting, held in the Elks club dining hall, was presided over by A. J. Schutte, in absence of President Art Shipkey. Ted Kuchel introduced the speaker. "No longer will homemakers have to be satisfied with products shipped from the other side of the nation, when California citrus furnishes the highest quality products in the world, as well as being an integral part of our state's economy," Anderson continued. "The 14,500 growers of the California Fruit Growers Exchange have pledged themselves to end this absurd condition once and for all, with the greatest and most aggressive manufacturing and merchandising sales promotion campaign in citrus history," Anderson said in describing the Sunkist "Blessed Event" promotion.
