GROWERS URGED TO ATTEND CONVENTION A. A. Brock Horticultural Commissioner The program of the Fifty-fifth Annual Fruit Growers and Farmers Convention, to be held in Sacramento, the 12, 13, and 14 of this month promises to be of unusual interest to the fruit growers of this state and I would like to see Orange-co well large number of horticulturists. This will be a history making convention for California agriculture and as this county plays a very active part and holds a prominent position in the state as an agricultural unit, our interests should be well represented. One of the most vital topics that will be brought before the convention is that of transportation. The before the shipping interests of this state, their problems regarding the and the car shortage situation. There will be a full discussion of plant quarantine matters which vitally effect fruit growers in California. Mr. Lee Strong, chief of the bureau of quarantine, will place before the fruit interest the need of his department and the present situation regarding the danger of importation of injurious insect and plant diseases which if introduced would jeopardize it not destroy the fruit growing industry. In addition to Mr. Strong's talk there will be further discussion of this topic by Mr. James Mills of Hamilton City, Mr. C. C. Teague, president of the California Fruit Growers Exchange. PASTOR TAKES JOB TO SUPPORT FAMILY NEW YORK—Rev. G. B. Schultz Vernon Methodist church at Newton, N. J., was appointed by the Sussez county board of freeholders to be time-keeper for laborers paving the Sparta-Hardyston road there. The job pays $5.50 a day.

Store "The Home of Greater Values" MAIN DEAL LEADING NEWSPAPER OF NORTHERN ORANGE COUNTY Anaheim, California, Thursday, Dec. 7, 1922 OIL INDUSTRY MUST GET MORE GASOLINE NEW YORK, Dec. 7.—To keep pace with the constantly growing demand, the oil industry, according to the American Petroleum Institute, has been compelled to obtain an increasing yield of gasoline in order to supply sufficient motor fuel at a reasonable price. This has necessitated the utilization of heavier parts of the crude petroleum than were formerly used. Recent tests made under government supervision have demonstrated that not only has the lessened volatility of commercial gasoline not affected the mileage per gallon, but that even heavier fuel than that now in general use will produce results fully as satisfactory. EVIL IN "NEW" LIQUOR Just why "pure cornt liquor" or "moonshine" has a more vicious kick than aged-in-the-wood whiskey was explained to the American Public Health association at its recent meeting in Cleveland, O., by J. M. Doran, head of the industrial alcohol and chemical division of the federal prohibition commissioner's office. Before and after prohibition analyses show that the only essential difference between the "aged-in-the-barrel" and "moonshine" whiskies is in the aldehyde contest. These aldehydes found in the local and home distilled articles are very harmful to the human interior, he said, and can only be eliminated by fractionating in an alcohol column or long aging in wooden barrels. HALF OIL OUTPUT FROM 2 COUNTIES (Calif, State Mining Bureau) Of 109,392 acres of proved oil land in the state, 55,178 acres are classed as developed and 51,214 acres as un-developed. The figures show further that the sensational new fields of Los Angeles and Orange-co are producing from about 3 per cent of the total proved oil acreage, of the state. That is, about half of the present oil production of the state is coming from 3 per cent of the area producing or capable of producing oil. The present investment of the California oil industry in production, transportation and refining is estimated at $450,000,000. The gusher wells of Huntington Beach, Long Beach and Santa Fe Springs are momentarily giving a considerable return to this investment, but they are being rapidly drilled and will be rapidly depleted. The security of the California oil industry's investment in petroleo mis tied up in the oil and gas reservoirs which are interspersed throughout the remaining 97 per cent of the 109,000 proved acres of oil land; and any other additional fields that many be discovered. The race to pass up the hundred-barrel oil sand and get into the gusher production has caused certain operators to forget apparently that the average production of the 9500 producing wells in California is only 40 barrels per day. The industry has reached its present position of eminence by producing much of it soil from these reservoirs of relatively low productivity but long life. In the three new fields, which are HUNTINGTON BEACH COMING BACK FAST (With Oil Operators) Huntington Beach deep drilling is the feature of the old field that is coming back fast. The production of Huntington Beach reached the surprising figure of 65,000 barrels last week and before the end of the year a production of 80,000 is predicted. The big increase is all due to the development of production in the deep sands. The Amalgamated Oil Co. is taking a strong lead in the deep work and has six wells 4600 feet and deeper. On the Pearce property No. 2 is close to 4800. No. 3 is drilling at 4700. No. 4 has passed the 4800 foot mark. Miley-Keck No. 19 tops the list of deep wells with 4900 feet of hole. This well is looking good and stands in hand to beat the world's record for deep production. The Boilsa Chica Petroleum Corporation got into the Huntington Beach production list with a 1400 barrel well. Completing its second well in the deep sand at 4400 this company had all the drilling troubles scheduled overcame them all and brought in a beautiful well. The Argonaut Oil company, one of the pioneers of the Huntington Beach field has passed into the hands of the Holly Oil Company. The Argonaut properties and holdings will hereafter be known as the Holly Development Company. The Argonaut Oil company was started by W. H. Taylor of Red Star Montebello fame, and W. M. Kapfman manager of the Walter P. Temple holdings at Montebello. Before and after prohibition analyses show that the only essential difference between the "aged-in-the-barrel" and "moonshine" whiskies is in the aldehyde contest. These aldehydes found in the local and home distilled articles are very harmful to the human interior, he said, and can only be eliminated by fractionating in an alcohol column or long aging in wooden barrels. In the three new fields, which are now being exploited for their gusher production, there are oil and gas reservoirs of lesser productivity. At Long Beach an upper zone of oil and gas is being passed up to the gusher production. The same is true at Huntington Beach. At Santa Fe Springs one company alone has been getting a revenue of over $700.00 per day from one gas well for four months, producing from a gas zone which the supervisor has insisted should be protected, although strenuously opposed by a number of operators. The State Oil and Gas Supervisor is charged with the duty of preventing damage and waste of the oil and gas resources of California. The supervisor's work of protection and conservation of those oil and gas reservoirs of lesser value than the gusher zones has been carried forward during the past year in the face of great opposition by several large interests who are apparently bent upon skimming the cream off these new fields regardless of what happens to the oil measures as a whole and regardless of the fact that the State of California will require petroleum and its products fifty years hence when probably no Long Beach gushers will be available and no company will be able to boast of a million barrels a month production from such a field as Long Beach. No person, association of corporation is morally or legally authorized to destroy, damage or waste anything of value just because he is in a position to leap beyond it to greater values. The State Oil and Gas Supervisor takes the position that the underground oil and gas reservoirs from which oil and gas are not now being produced are of great potential and economic value as regards the future, and that it is his duty as imposed by law to see that they are conserved and protected. The Supervisor stands and will continue to stand for the just enforcement of the laws which contemplate the conservation and economic use of one of California's greatest resources regardless of attempts at political intimidation and the apparent concerted efforts of certain interests to break down the fundamental principles of enforcement. The continuous and ruthless activity upon the part of some concerns to break down the proper functioning of present laws of conservation will only serve to reveal their own well in the deep sand at 400 this company had all the drilling troubles scheduled overcame them all and brought in a beautiful well. The Argonaut Oil company, one of the pioneers of the Huntington Beach field has passed into the hands of the Holly Oil Company. The Argonaut properties and holdings will hereafter be known as the Holly Development Company. The Argonaut Oil company was started by W. H. Taylor of Red Star Montebello fame, and W. M. Kapfman manager of the Walter P. Temple holdings at Montebello. The Holly Oil Company has completed the redrilling and deepening of its No. 1 and puts the well on production at a depth of 5615 ft. The well was finished up in the best of condition and there is every reason to believe it will duplicate its offset the famous Jackie Coogan No. 1. Rapid changes are taking place every day at Huntington Beach. One of the most important was the taking over of the General Petroleum's Community lease by E. G. Lewis, manager of the Palos Verdes Estate. The property was drilled by the G. P. with one well, but no oil was found at a depth of 4300 feet. Lewis believes the General Petroleum stopped on top of the oil sand and will redrill the well to prove his contention. The Petroleum Midway has broken the gravity record of Huntington Beach with a producer making 31 gravity oil. The record Petroleum Mid-way well is Vollmer-Meyer No. 3. At a depth of 4500 feet Vollmer-Meyer 3 went on production doing 3100 barrels. In addition to having the highest gravity well in the field the Petroleum Midway has the field's largest producer, Columbia 1-1 a Find The Wants or Overcoat this depend on that. are in too, a few put it, over in select it—or you and let him finest stock of Wool Shirts Sweaters Bath Robes Hats and Caps Smoking Jackets Store Anaheim, Calif. conserved and protected. The Supervisor stands and will continue to stand for the just enforcement of the laws which contemplate the conservation and economic use of one of California's greatest resources regardless of attempts at political intimidation and the apparent concerted efforts of certain interests to break down the fundamental principles of enforcement. The continuous and ruthless activity upon the part of some concerns to break down the proper functioning of present laws of conservation will only serve to reveal their own shortsightedness in terms of the investment in the future of petroleum in California and tend toward the enactment of more stringent regulatory laws. The August "Summary" of operations also carries the Supervisor's annual statement of expenditures for the preceding fiscal year, township plats of proved oil land as of March 1, 1922, and production statistics of all California fields for the first six months of 1922. From January to June, inclusive, the production of oil was 60,896,391 barrels. BAN REVOLVER IN CIVIL LIFE Ever since the invention of the pistol, 400 years ago, its sole purpose and that of its successor, the revolver, was to kill human beings. Outside of legally authorized war, they have undoubtedly caused the accidental or murderous death of 1000 for every life saved by their justifiable use. The possession of such arms should be limited to military and police forces. For the hunter, the farmer, the explorer and for target practice, the large firearm affords quite sufficient service and protection. The concealed weapon is very seldom of value to any but the lawbreaker. The chief of one of the largest city police forces in this country says that more than 90 per cent of the sales of revolvers at the present time are to the criminal classes. New submarine cables carrying both telegraph and telephone wires will be laid from Norway to Denmark, connecting in the latter country with lines to Germany.
