LA HABRA SEEKING FROST PROTECTION Considerable interest has accumulated in the La Habra valley as a result of the recent cold wave, and is getting expression in the different growers organizations of the valley. The packing houses and the farm center are getting together to devise a way of providing better means of averting cold injury and supplying sufficient labor to efficiently tend the heating devices. The La Habra farm center has adopted this project and has appointed Geo. Stubbs as chairman of the project committee. Conferences are being held with fruit growers and weather bureau specialists for definite plans of procedure. Mr. Stubbs and C. L. Crumrine, manager of the La Habra Citrus Ass'n have arranged to have Mr. J. D. Cubbertson of Limoneira Rancho, Ventura, come to La Habra about the middle of March for a field day meeting with growers to discuss frost protection and treatment of frosted trees. The meeting will be held under the auspices of the farm center. Floyd Young, frost specialist o' the weather bureau will meet with the farm center committee in June when he returns from Oregon, where he is now conducting a frost protection campaign. The farm center has arranged a special program for Thursday evening, March 9th, 7:30 p.m. at the La Habra school. Mr. A. J. Prizer of Bastanchury ranch and formerly of the citrus experiment station, Riverside, will talk on "The Frosted Tree Problem." The public is invited. MONTE VISTA TRACT PLACED ON MARKET One of the largest of recent subdivisions was put on the market today by the J. T. Lyon Realty Company, when the firm began to sell lots in a 20-acre piece known as the Monte Vista tract. A number of the lots already have been sold. Several houses will be started within a few days, and all of the usual improvements, including sidewalks, BEEKEEPERS PICNIC AT TUSTIN MAR. 11 Beekeepers of Orange-co are planning to attend the picnic and field demonstration held under the auspices of the Beekeepers department of the farm bureau. Specialists will discuss important problems. Professor Ralph Benton, specialist from the Univ. of Calif., will take up the subject of "Some Important Factors in Preparing for the Honey Flow of 1922." Prof. Benton will also be assisted by County Bee Inspector J. E. Pleasant in giving a practical demonstration on the effective control of foul brood, the American and European varieties. Mr. Wells of the First National Bank of Los Angeles will give a chart talk on the "Honey Market." Election of officers will be held after lunch. Beekeepers will bring their picnic lunch. Coffee will be served free. The meeting will be held at Geo. Brown's ranch, corner Mitchell-ave and Red Hill-ave, one mile southeast of Tustin. Speaking will start at 10 a.m. DUNTON LEADS IN SALE OF FORDSONS Indicative of the greater prosperity of this district, compared to other sections of the "white spot" in So. Cal., George Dunton, Anaheim, has moved up several ranks among the more than 100 Ford and Fordson dealers in So. Cal. Dunton's auto sales last year pleased him 32nd among Ford dealers. In the month just closed he moved up to 20th place. In truck sales last year he was in 25th place. In February he moved up to eighth place. In 1921 he lead all Fordson tractor dealers in So. Cal., a position he promises to retain. In fact, he was in Los Angeles today endeavoring to get hold of some more Fordson which have been hard to get since the big price slash. With spring and higher prices in the east, he expects it will be increasingly difficult to get hold of Fordson from now on. COALITION MUST CONTINUE MONIE VISTA TRACI PLACED ON MARKET One of the largest of recent subdivisions was put on the market today by the J. T. Lyon Reality Company, when the firm began to sell lots in a 20-acre piece known as the Monte Vista tract. A number of the lots already have been sold. Several houses will be started within a few days, and all of the usual improvements, including sidewalks, curbing, water connections, gas, sewers and electricity within two weeks. There are 112 good-sized lots, conveniently located near the city, and prices have been figured as low as possible in order to put the property into the hands of the public within a short period and get building on a scale started. The assurance of public improvements at once, and not made contingent upon the sale of lots in quantity, and the moderate restrictions placed by the firm on building make this tract one of the most desirable for investment that have been offered here. Several other sub-divisions are in prospect. A. A. Mills, one of the leaders in the movement to have the North and East addition annexed to the city, will put a tract upon the market through local realtors, if the annexation is voted, as now appears likely. One or two other prominent individuals of this section also plan to cut up part of their holdings for development and improvement.

Schlesinger as assistant manager, the patrons of the theatre will have the pleasure of seeing only the best in photoplays, vaudeville and road shows. Mrs. Marguerita Thomas, well-known local musician will preside at the organ at "The Red Lantern." Just why the theatre came to be called The Red Lantern is briefly told. The Red Lantern in China is a symbol of joy, and as the Goddess of the Red Lantern typifies the same to the Chinese as does Joan of Arc to the French, she is the national Idol. The Red Lantern is used continuously thruout the Chinese New Year which lasts a jortnight and on the day of these festivities every house is brilliantly illuminated both inside and out with this symbol of joy. Thus is the table of the origin of the naming of the theatre. It is hoped that this symbol will mean as much to the people of Brea as it does to the people of China. The interior of the show has a decided oriental touch. The walls are adorned with paintings of dragons and oriental birds. Set back in the wall on either side is a marvelous stature of Budda, the Chinese God. A similar statue is also in the foyer. Vari-colored lights are flushed on the curtains which give a beautiful touch. The lights in the ceiling have a unique shad with the oriental decorations. The rooms are extremely pretty and one can enjoy a pleasant time in The Red Lantern. The Brea City Band played several numbers in front of the show. A very good bill was on for the event. UNPROFITABLE COWS TO BE ELIMINATED An inventory of 20 of the leading dairies or the county has just been completed under the direction of assistant farm advisor and monthly report will be made by John Bichan, tester for Cowtesting Ass'n'.

In view of the fact that the dairy industry is suffering from the same disease that all the other agricultural entries are, it is very important to give each cow careful consideration.

PIG AND POULTRY CLUBS BOOSTED Pig feeding clubs and poultry management clubs for the boys and girls will be part of 1922 program outlined by extension service for Orange-co farm bureau, says Assistant Advisor Scott. The boys and girls are to have their inning this year if plans materialize and altho there may not be as many young folks enrolled in agricultural club work as last year, the work they undertake will be more far-reaching. In the past this work has been segregated so that the parents and friends of the club members have not taken as active an interest as is hoped for this year. Statistics show that a large percent of the pork consumed in California is shipped in from neighboring states. It is quite important therefore that communities which are so situated that pig feeding can be undertaken as a special project, should be encouraged in their attempt to interest the boys and girls. And the Poultry club as outline for the younger generation is one of the livest projects to be presented this year. It is especially timely for Orange-co, in that raising of poultry is considered more seriously every day by many of the big orchardists who need substantial evidence to back up their enthusiasm.
