The cost study covering orchard operations of 18 commercial avocado orchards in Orange county was made available this week and may be obtained from the Extension Service office at 1104 W. 8th st., Santa Ana. The report covers not only the production costs as reported during the 1951 crop year, but also summarizes the trends of costs and returns per acre over a 22 year period from 1930 to 1951 inclusive. The 1951 analysis reveals an average total cost of $319 per acre for all costs including labor, materials, depreciation and interest on the investment. The lowest reported cost was $197 per acre and the highest $303 per acre. The average production of the 18 orchards in 1951 was 3422 pounds per acre—the highest yield was 9371 pounds and the lowest due to frost was 139 pounds per acre. The Fuerte variety was the preponderant variety growth, but other varieties included the Anaheim, Pueblo, Hass, Queen and Lyon. The size of orchards reported varied from two to 75 acres if extent. The cost of various operations in the orchard averaged $12 per acre in round figures for pruning; $16 per acre for cultivation or weed control; $60 per acre for irrigation water and labor using 20 acre inches of water; $21 per acre for fertilizers; taxes $20 per acre, with a range from $10 to $57 per acre. The Navy has announced that more than one hundred men from the Southland were aboard the aircraft carrier, USS Essex, which arrived in Sah Diego today after nine months duty in Korea waters. The Essex, largest ship now assigned to the Pacific Fleet, is commanded by Capt. Walter F. Roden-USN, of Coronado, Calif. During World War II, the Essex set a record for ships that had never been equaled. She operated at sea for 37 consecutive days.

Cup winners compete with other schools on April 24, before judging panels made up of civic leaders, to determine zone winners. All zone winners will receive cash awards ranging from $50 to $1000. How much each student receives is decided by a final board of judges on May 23, when the students are interviewed at final ceremonies in Los Angeles. *Cup Winners* Winners in the local school are: Jim Holve, Science and Mathematics; Philip Taylor, Fine Arts; Iria Webber, Liberal Arts; LaVern Stanley, Vocational Arts.

In instances where the society's program dogs not fit the child's needs, he is referred to the proper agency. The Orange County Easter Seal agency was organized a little more than two years ago, and for the past year and a half has operated a therapy and recreation center. The present center is located in Santa Ana at 1008 Logan st. Occupational therapy, Mrs. Chichester pointed out, is any activity prescribed for its remedial value by a physician and carried out by a registered occupational therapist. Its purpose is to hasten the recovery and rehabilitation of handicapped patients. "Our goal is to help each patient become as self-sufficient as possible.
