Anaheim Has The Most The Orang LEAD VOL. XXI, No. 118 This Paper Accepts All Advertising on the Understand That Its Circulation Equals Any Two Others in This F NEW PACKING HOUSE WILL PACK FIRST FRUIT NEXT WEEK The new Anaheim Orange & Lemon Assn., packing house, most complete orange packing house in the world, will pack its first oranges next week. To insure everything running smoothly then, the entire machinery in the big building will be run for several hours this week to get it "broken in." It is entirely fitting that the first fruit to be packed will be Valencias from the premier Valencia district. Has Shipped 65 Cars The new association has packed out 65 cars of navels, sweets, St. Michaels and seedlings from the temporary quarters in the Morfoot packing house. Manager G. W. Sandilands expects the first season's run for the new association will total 750 cars. Manager Sandilands announces a new policy of the association, with the purchase of some new auto trucks and trailers. The association will do all of its own hauling. Perfect Organization "We needed this to perfect our organization," says Manager Sandilands. "It offers the advantage of permitting us to move all our fruit at the moment we want it moved, with our own men insuring products." DR. DOMANN BUYS 4 ORANGE GROVES Dr. Arthur H. Domann, county health officer and prominent physician, has purchased Lots 22, 23, 24 and 25 in the Peralta Hills Trket, for which the C. B. Berger Company of this city are exclusive sales agents. Dr. Domann purchased 9.41 acres, or Lot No. 23, a little over a year ago, then obtained an adjoining 6.74 acres about six months later, and now has purchased two more lots consisting of 15 acres, making a total acreage of something like 31 acres, all in Valencias oranges and Eufeka lemons, fully water stocked in The Peralta Hills Water Company and equipped with underground cement pipe line and valves for irrigating. Sometime in the near future Dr. Domann may build a permanent home on this property, for which there is an ideal building site overlooking the Santa Ana Valley and river, with groves, foot-hills and mountains in the background. SCHMIDT MUSIC CO. PUTS ON BIG SALE The purchase by L. J. Dang and Al Manager G. W. Sandilands expects the first season's run for the new association will total 750 cars. Manager Sandilands announces a new policy of the association, with the purchase of some new auto trucks and trailers. The association will do all of its own hauling. Perfect Organization "We needed this to perfect our organization," says Manager Sandilands. "It offers the advantage of permitting us to move all our fruit at the moment we want it moved, with our own men, insuring proper handling of the fruit from the time it is picked until it goes into the cars. It is also in accord with the policy of the association to curtail all expenses to actual cost." USERS OF TRACTORS TELL ADVANTAGES Several hundred tractor owners in the Dakotas were asked these questions: "What do you find to be the principle advantages of the tractor for farm work?" "What the its principal disadvantages?" The replies have been summarized. The replies received have been summarized in Farmers' Bulletin 1035 just published by the department of agriculture. Saving of time, making it possible to cover the desired acreage, within the proper season, is put first among the advantages of a large percentage of the farmers. Other advantages are: Ability to do thorough work, especially in hot weather, when horses are at a disadvantage. Saving in man labor, doing away with more or less bred labor and enabling one man to farm a larger acreage than he can with horses. Economy. This last advantage is mentioned by a larger percentage of Dakota farmers than of farmers in other states where similar investigations of the tractor have been made. This is doubtless because the cropping system followed in the Dakotas is such that the tractor can be used to advantage for more of the farm work than in other parts of the country. The principal disadvantage of the tractor according to the reports made by these farmers is its injurious effect on most soil. This difficulty is a serious one in districts where the soil home on this property, for which there is an ideal building site overlooking the Santa Ana Valley and river, with groves, foot-hills and mountains in the background. SCHMIDT MUSIC CO. PUTS ON BIG SALE The purchase by L. J. Danz and Al G. Barnes of F. W. Schmidt's interests in the Schmidt Music Co., Inc, which was announced Wednesday in to be made the occasion for a large sale of musical goods. Mr. Danz and Mr. Barnes, whose entrance into the local field has made the Schmidt Music Co., the largest exclusively music house in Orange-co, will make this, their first sale under the new management, the biggest moving of musical goods that has ever transpired in the county. Both men, schooled in the modern methods of the largest musical goods stores, say they will give Anaheim even more cause for pride in their beautiful store. SUES REALTY AGENT Mrs. Flora Bradley of Santa Ana has sworn to a complaint against F. H. Burdick, of Long Beach. Mrs. Bradley had some property in Long Beach that she wanted to sell. Burdick, a real estate agent, said he would have to have some money to pay the expenses of taking people out to see the property. Mrs. Bradley gave him $35. She tells Deputy District Attorney Menton that Burdick had not taken people to see the property. STEPS BETWEEN CARS Stepping between two box cars directly in front of a north-bound Santa Fe train at Fullerton yesterday, Roy Trowbridge of Fullerton received injuries which it is believed he cannot survive. His back was broken. Trowbridge is employed at the Dean hardware store at Fullerton and has a wife and six children. He is 44 years of age. WEEK-END PARTY A jolly crowd of young folks enjoyed a week-end party at Mt. Wilson, the affair being in honor of the The principal disadvantage of the tractor according to the reports made by these farmers is its injurious effect on most soil. This difficulty is a serious one in districts where the soil is heavy and where it is necessary to do a considerable amount of work in early spring. Difficulty of operation seems to range as a next disadvantage. A large percentage of farmers emphasize it. Other disadvantages mentioned are expense of operation, undue increase in investment and delays on account of engine trouble. In comparing the reports upon which this bulletin is based with those obtained from tractor owners in various parts of the corn belt several years ago it appears that less stress is laid upon the disadvantage of the tractor in the recent reports than in the older ones.
