PEACH OF TROPICS AT TOP OF SEASON Midsummer is the best season for mangoes which are now available in northern markets, points out the U.S. department of agriculture. The mango is one of the really great fruits of the world. India with its hundreds of millions of people has four centuries held it sacred, and celebrates annual ceremonies in its honor. It is a fruit, the importation of which Americans are beginning to recognize. Several fine varieties are practically free from fiber. They can be eaten with a spoon as casily as a muskmelon. These are not to be confused with the worthless seedling mangoes of the West Indies. The Hayden mango is a particularly fine example of the "peach of the tropics." It is a seedling of the first East Indian mango brot to America. The original plant was brot here by the U.S. department of agriculture and planted at the field station at Miami, Fla. Extraordinary cars was necessary at first to protect it from frost. It was three times seriously threatened. The fruit of its seedlings shows a much finer development than those the parent plant bore. This type of mango, when ripe, is about the size of an avocado. It is smooth, egg-shaped, with brilliant red coloring, shading off to a luscious yellow. Northern dealers sell the fruit at from 65 to 85 cents each. Last season they cost as much as $1.25 apiece. Americans are perhaps more open-minded in trying out new foods than any other nationality in the world, and when people in this country learn to like mangoes they will be grown for popular consumption. BUY PIPE ON TEST AND NOT ON LOOKS A good deal of reaction has resulted from the recent Farm Bureau concrete pipe demonstrations held in Santa Ana and Fullerton Farm that concrete worked wet is weakened 30 pct. "Concrete pipe is sold in Orange-co at a variation of 10c per foot; and so many men think they have just saved 10c by buying the cheaper pipe. They fail to think of the leaky pipe they may be getting. I hope you get them to buying their pipe on a test. "You have started a good thing and I hope you push it along as you are doing with the fertilizers and tractors. Educate the rancher, to buy on a test or analysis basis." SHELL CO. HAS 11 WELLS UNDERWAY Long Beach Success from the start seems to be meaning a lot for the development work on Signal Hill, The Shell Co., the company that discovered the Hill, now has 11 wells underway. Drilling at Alamitos No. 3 started today. Alamitos No. 2 is rigging up Babb-Tucker No. 1 shows 900 feet of hole. Ness No. 1 is the deep well drilling at 2675 and progress is excellent. Stakemiller No. 1 is getting down, drilling is at 1750. Horsch No. 1 is spudding in and will show 500 feet of hole before the end of the week. Wilbur No. 1 and Pickler No. 1 are building rig. New locations and grading include Jones No. 1 and No. 2, and Patton-Wilbur No. 2. Alamitos No. 1 the producer is making oil under a heavy sanded condition and of course is not producing at capacity by any means, the well doing now about 500 bbls. The Crest Oil Co. spudded in late last week and today has made 1200 feet of hole. The drilling is under the supervision of "Blondy" Elder and things are going nicely. W. M. Keck at No. 1 has 3100 ft. of hole reamed out and is ready to set casing as soon as a showing of oil warrants the same. Some prospecting is being done ahead of the drill. It beging to look like 3400 now for the first showing. E. J. Miley's Xemino No. 1 drilling at 1800 feet in sandy shale has been showing some colors.

Farmers who previously bought irrigation pipe on looks and cut rate prices have found upon investigation and in many cases sad experience that the cheap pipe was the most expensive in the long run. The only logical way to get quality pipe is to buy on pressure test. A pipe that will undergo reasonable pressure has been made of good, clean material — clean sand and gravel. Rock dust is being used to a considerable extent by pipe manufacturers in the making of concrete pipe in conjunction with cement. This by-product of the cement mill was formerly discarded, but is now used to exceeding advantage in building a strong pressure pipe. Porous pipe is not only subject to excessive leakage, but under alkaline soil condition breaks down and rots in a comparatively short time. The Farm Bureau has been greatly concerned about the distribution of pipe in Orange-co, realizing from the large number of complaints that come to the farm advisor's office that miles of poor pipe have been laid. A list of manufacturers of reliable pressure test pipes has been compiled by the Farm Bureau which is available to prospective concrete pipe buyers. Dealers as well as farmers are vitally interested in the improvement of pipe quality as may be illustrated by one of the many letters coming to the farm advisor commending the movement. The letter, from a prominent Orange-co dealer, says: "Friend Wablberg: "I just want to tell you that I think when you started the testing of concrete pipe you started something that will save the ranchers thousands of dollars in water. I'll warrant you, you will find out things about the different pipe that will surprise you. "I hope you will keep after this testing until every yard of pipe in the county is tested and the result published. Then advise the rancher to buy his pipe according to the pressure test and percolation test." There have always been cheap pipe men, they make cheap pipe and sell it cheap. They last for a time, but finally go broke and "stick" some dealer. The rancher who buys the cheap pipe is always losing water now about 500 bbls. The Crest Oil Co. spudded in late last week and today has made 1200 feet of hole. The drilling is under the supervision of "Blondy" Elder and things are going nicely. W. M. Keck at No. 1 has 3100 ft. of hole reamed out and is ready to set casing as soon as a showing of oil warrants the same. Some prospecting is being done ahead of the drill. It beging to look like 3400 now for the first showing. E. J. Miley's Xemino No. 1 drilling at 1800 feet in sandy shale has been showing some colors. While the showing is encouraging it is nothing to warrant more than casual notice. The drilling is going very good. Jack McKeon's Oceanic No. 1 has spudded in and started making hole. Four hundred feet of 15 1-2 inch will be set. This will insure a good start and obviate any danger of caving or formation trouble later. The Oceanic is considered one of the best and most promising locations in the field, and McKeon has a host of friends pulling for his success. Getting a piece showing of oil and gas at 2735 feet like San Martenas landed the 10 inch and cemented at 2735. While the cement is setting at No. 1, No. 2 is being rigged up to start drilling. Wm. Kammerer is steering the San Martenas, a fact that should warrant its success. Drilling on the Signal Hill Syndicate well has passed the 2000 mark and is going good in the blue clay and shale. Mims of the Republic Petroleum is looking after this one, and if he can duplicate his Huntington Beach record the Syndicate will have no kick coming. The standard Oil Co. is getting ready to drill out the cement at Bixby No. 1 and a test on the water will be known in a few days. Drilling was stopped at 4258 and a string of 7-inch sot at 4269.

DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE TO CUT EXPENSES TWO MILLION WASHINGTON, Aug. 12—Secretary of Agriculture Wallace plans to save two million dollars from the appropriation already made for his department for the fiscal year 1922. The saving will be largely effected in the department of research work although small savings will be made here and there throughout the department. It is estimated there will be a reduction of from 25 to 36 employees from the staff of the Department of Agriculture and elimination of considerable expensive investigation. -Witman, Eyesight Specialist.

ELSTOR CO Phone 177 THE ORANGE COUNTY PLAIN DEALER, ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA COUNTY IDEAL FOR RAISING AVOCADOES Being desirous of rendering all assistance possible to those contemplating planting avocadoes will say that the pioneers in the business had to "go it blind" as no one seemed to know anything definite. Each nurseryman advocated the varieties he was propagating. There is no excuse this late in the day for any chance work. The analysis of a fruit is reliable, and the very best authority you can get on the subject. If I were setting out a new grove, I would plant no variety that the analysis did not show at least 16 pct fat (the higher the better) and the seed must not exceed 20 pct. In weight of the whole fruit, (the smaller the seed the better.) The California Avocado Assn. issues an annual report which print discussions and all papers read at their meetings, and by reading up on these reports from the beginning you will soon become familiar with what it has taken the pioneers years to accomplish. If you are planting a home orchard you should select trees bearing in the four seasons, spring, summer, fall and winter, so as to give you fruit every day in the year. If you are planting a commercial orchard, the great majority of your trees should be winter bearing, as the winter is when you get your very best prices. Florida, with her 18 to 20 years' experience, has demonstrated that there is practically no market in the east for avocados in the summer; as a practical illustration, a holding 48 avocados was shipped to New York in July, netting $1.25; the same size shipped in December, netted $36. In addition to a small seed and the oil contents of an avocado, the tree must be a good grower, and the fruit of good flavor and quality without which everything else would be worthless. As an illustration, the Salano has The Village Gossip Given an opportunity to "skip the sentence of six months in the county jail, O. Bentz, an itinerant, convinced the authorities that he is not the least bit adverse to "doing a stretch" in the Hotel de Lacy. Bentz was picked up by Deputy Sheriff Roy Ballard who found him roaming about from place to place without any apparent reason therefor. Several housewives in the north end of Santa Ana had been solicited by the tramp for a "handout." Brought before Justice of the Peace Cox, Bentz frankly admitted that he was a trump, and that he was not especially fond of work and that he did not mind going to jail. Judge Cox gave him six months. After receiving the sentence Bentz told Judge Cox that he had left some of his personal trinkets at a remote spot on the banks of the Santa Ana river and he wanted "leave" to go back and get them. Judge Cox let him go after his belongings on his solennum promise that he would return and serve his sentence. "You'll never see that man again," said Deputy Sheriff Theo Lacy Jr., who happened to be in the justice court. "Oh yes you will," said Judge Cox. "You just wait and see." An hour later the trump appeared at the county jail. Judge Cox called the jail by telephone and asked if the man was there. When informed that he was he issued the necessary commitment papers. And O. Bentz is assured of board and lodging for the next six months. 30,000 H. P. TURNED INTO EDISON LINES In the history of man's battle to conserve the forces of nature, it would be difficult to find a more romantic chapter of achievement than that which terminated with the completion of the great hydro-electric power plant of the Calif., Edison Co. at the junction of the San Joaquin River and Big Creek this morning. MONEY EASIER HERE, SAYS FREIGHT MAN Money is coming into the banks of So. Calif. in increasing amounts. Merchants, ranchers and businesses generally during the past month have taken an added optimism. In this way, H. C. Hallmark, L.Angeles, general freight agent of So. Calif. Pac. Co., here yesterday summed up the commercial situation in the Southland. His last visit was made about two months ago. People are gaining more money he said. "Citrus growers are getting good returns for their crops." Are paying well despite growing costs while the lemon market is high, shown considerable improvement. So. Calif. is in better condition financially than other sections of the country, he continued. Imperial rail shipped 16,000 cars of cantaloupe. The sugar factories have begun the season's campaign. Crops are in good condition. Wherever I have been in So. Calif. I have found striking evidences of our timism among the ranchers and bushes men generally. Money is moving more freely." paratus and installation is working perfectly, and functioning for the service of the people in the 233 cities and towns and intervening in rural communities in which the Edison furnishes electricity. "Get out and get soleep," said Manager of Construction E. R. Davis as he grappled Mile Kemp, tunnel superintendent, tried to drag him from where stood knee-deep in the slime cooled the forefront of the great hole in mountain, where the pneumatic drive chewing relentlessly into rock.

In addition to a small seed and the oil contents of an avocado, the tree must be a good grower, and the fruit of good flavor and quality without which everything else would be worthless. As an illustration, the Salano has a very small seed, fruit splendid size and fine looking, but the analysis shows it only has three to four pct. fat, taste insipid and unpalatable—no one planting it. Again, the Atlixco is a fair sample of a poor growing tree, the fruit being good but the limbs of the tree drooping so badly that it is a difficult matter to get anything like a good shaped tree out of it—no one planting it as a result. A number of people have asked me how I managed to get so many and such large fruit, especially Furtes. Only last week one of the oldest avocado nurseries in the state asked me what I should fertilize, and when I stated location and climate he looked at me in astonishment. In my judgment, Yorba Linda along the foothills is ideal for avocodes. The avocado requires a little of the ocean breeze in a balmy state, and the foothills are about as free from frost as any part of the country. The less frost you have the better the condition for avocodes, especially the finer varieties. MAIL CHIEF HONORS WOMAN WASHINGTON Aug. 12—Peddmaster General Hays has appointed Mrs. Mary K. Macarthy assistant assistant manager of foreign mails. Mrs. Macarthy is the second woman in the department to hold such position. She has charge of all the foreign mails of the United States. Mrs. Macarthy is a native of Portsmouth, N.H., and has been connected with the Postoffice Department since 1900 when she was appointed a clerk. She has worked her way up to her present position, and is known throughout the department as one of the best informed women on postal matters. 30,000 H. P. TURNED INTO EDISON LINES In the history of man's battle to conserve the forces of nature, it would be difficult to find a more romantic chapter of achievement than that terminated with the completion of the great hydro-electric power plant of the Calif. Edison Co. at the junction of the San Joaquin River and Big Creek this morning. A message to District Manager W. L. Delimling informs him that the 30,000 horsepower from this new property is now on the lines of the Edison system and available for use by the consumers of the company. In So Calif. and the San Joaquin valley, this makes 92,000 horsepower of new hydro-electric energy which the company has developed in the Big Creek-San Joaquin River and the Kern River water sheds this year. Those who have followed the history of hydro-electric construction say nothing approaching this development has ever been accomplished. Impelled by the necessity to provide for the requirements of its consumers in Los Angeles and then ten counties which it serves, during the months of August and September when a power shortage might prove disastrous, the officers of the company, and the 2,600 men who have been working on the job have driven it to completions scoring speed records turn the waters into winter and summer. Three and a half miles of tunnel have been gouged thru the solid granite of the mountains of the High Sierra, bringing the waters from Huntington Lake, Shaver Lake and Big Creek, to plunge with terrific force on the turbines which drive the generators by No. 8 plant which was completed today, and the No. 2 plant, which took on 22,000 additional horsepower capacity in February. On Kern River a 40,000 horsepower plant was brought into service in May. Work on the No. 8 power house was commenced on March 17. On July 28 the water was turned onto the turbine, and the word received by Dist. Mgr. Delimling today brings the information that the electric ap- Naw," growled this veteran of years service in (tunnel) constructing a man whose life has been spent boring through mountains, directing course of the tools that cut, and tending to the intonations of the dawn which ripped out the strata and reverberated through the pressures of the mountain. "Naw," repeated Kemp, "not we make the headin'." and strive he would, Mr. Davis could not miss this man who had worked for hours without a wink of sleep, who glared at him with red-rim eyes set in a livid face, bushed with a month's growth ow whiskers, left his post until the heading was read. Kemp stuck till it was reached. It was the junction of two great made under a mountain to compose one of the tunnels that supply water for Power House No. 8.
