URGE ORANGE C. OF C. HELP WATER SUPPLY The lowering water level of the Santa Ana river valley; the increasing number of pumping plants drawing annually more and more on the supply of the subterranean reservoir; and the possibility of dry years contributing to its further depletion, form a combination of conditions which experienced irrigation men of the Orange district view with misgivings and which form the basis of a growing demand for action which will tend to increase the amount of flood water already being conserved by present efforts. With a view of furthering conservation efforts and of building up or holding the present water level of the valley an appeal will be made to the Orange Community C. of C. to take the initiative in promoting a plan for raising flood waters into the water strata of the valley by the means of shafts sunk along the water courses of the valley. F. D. Collins of Villa Park, a pioneer irrigation man who has made a long study of water conditions in the valley today issued a statement advocating such a method of raising the water level, which he pointed out has been lowered 40 feet in ten years. Mr. Collins said: "Probably nine-tenths of the water used by the ranchers of the Santa Ana valley today is pumped from the basin underlying the valley. "The level of this water has lowered about 40 feet in the last 10 years and owing to the increasing number of pumping plants being installed and the growing demand for more water by the cities of Anaheim, Orange and Santa Ana, the lowering of the water will likely be greater in the next five years than in the past ten." "Nothing is being done towards replenishing this supply. "Directly or indirectly every inhabitant and all lines of business are depending upon this underground water supply. Nearly every winter there is water going to waste in the Santiago creek and the Santa Ana river that should be stored in this underground basin. Twenty-one years ago the Carpenter and Serrano water companies of El Modena and Villa Park commenced the spreading of the Santiago creek and turning the waste water directly into the lower water bearing straits. One shaft might be put in on the Santa Ana and one on the Santiago before the winter rains come as an experiment. The cost of these shafts would be $1000 to $1500 each, depending on the depth and the amount of protection work at the intakes. "If all the pumping companies, the cities, and smaller pumping plant owners would contribute according to water pummed, or say $10 per horsepower, probably a sum could be raised that would be more than sufficient to put in two of these experimental shafts. Something must be done and the sooner a start is made better." S. S. SECRETARY BACK IN MINISTRY Members of the Orange-co. S. S. Assn. held their last monthly conference with the Rev. George W. Kitzmiller as secretary. The Rev. Kitzmiller who has been secretary of the association for two years, announces that he is to return to the ministry. He said he has not yet made his choice of pastorate, but is considering several offers. The Rev. Kitzmiller's successor will be appointed by a combined conference of the Clerical club and the S. S. Assn., the Rev. J. G. Kennedy said today. Whether the next secretary will be a palid officer will be decided by the conference.

"Nothing is being done towards replenishing this supply. Directly or indirectly every inhabitant and all lines of business are depending upon this underground water supply. Nearly every winter there is water going to waste in the Santiago creek and the Santa Ana river that should be stored in this underground basin. Twenty-one years ago the Carpenter and Serrano water companies of El Modena and Villa Park commenced the spreading of surplus water on waste land in the Santiago canyon, holding back the lake instead of allowing it to run over the ocean. The supply of water of these companies today is nearly three times as great as it would have been had there been no work of this kind done. By some means, the waste water of these streams must be put into the deep gravel strata from which we are pumping.

E. Plessants, county bee inspector, has proclaimed for many years the advantages of placing colonies of bees in the fruit orchards of Orange County. He has proven to himself and many others by practical experiments that the bees help to pollinize the fruit, and at the same time produce honey of subtle flavor. There remain, nevertheless, some growers who as yet have not been made conversions of the bee specialist. For their benefit Please call attention to an article in the Western Honey Bee, Aug. issue, which reads: "Mr. A. F. Lusher, of Pomona sends an article from the Pomona Bulletin, in which he sets forth the remarkable results obtained by cranberry growers of Massachusetts, by placing colonies of beets close to their cranberry bogs, so that they might pollinize the flowers. The first experiments made by the United Cape Cod Cranberry company, which has some 700 acres of cranberries, which they intend to increase to 2000 acres, showed such a great increase in the yield of fruit that the company has employed an expert bookkeeper to increase the number of colonies as rapidly as possible. In these experiments, it was very significant that the yield of berries was greatest on that portion of the bog nearest the bees, and was thinner than thinner as the distance from the bees increased. Every cranberry grower in the Cape Cod district is now making plans to go into the bee business, not for the profit from honey, but because it is now demonstrated that the cross-fertilization of the cranberry flowers by the bees will cause a greatly increased yield of cranberries, which are grown for the market. Fruit growers everywhere would make money by pursuing the same practice. It applies to all orchard fruits, grapes, oranges and lemons, and all other fruits produced here in California. The bees are the best aids to the fruit and berry growers. "In a note accompanying the cliping, Mr. Lusher points out the damage the orange growers are doing to their own industry by spraying the trees while they are in bloom with poisonous mixtures. Whole apiaries were rendered unfit for honey production in the Pomona district from the loss of field bees by poisoning. The orange men lost more than the been men by their spraying while the trees were in bloom. Let the bees have free scope and the yield of fruit will be much increased." The population of Japan now is increasing at an annual rate of about 800,000, while a few years ago it was little more than 500,000.

EXTRACT IRON ROD FROM NECK OF MAN LONDON, Aug. 25—Two doctors at Wirksworth, England performed a remarkable surgical operation on man injured in a blasting accident recently. A 10-foot ramrod, used in driving home charges of explosives in a lime-stone quarry, was blown halfway through the neck of James Else, a quarryman, and the doctors, working on a ledge of rock in the fierce heat of the sun, cut through the steel bar fore and aft with an engineer's hacksaw. The man was conscious, and kept appealing for the ramroad to be taken out. He was finally removed to the hospital, where the remaining portion of the steel was extracted.
