TRYING TO PROTECT PURCHASER OF LIME Many Orange-co growers will be interested to know that an effort is now being made to protect the consumer in the purchase of lime and other soil amendments. Upon request by a joint committee representative of the commercial fertilizer industry and the agricultural mineral industry, and after consultation with a number of farmers' organizations, farm advisors, and officials of the Agricultural Experiment Station, and agricultural minerals bill was drafted by Mr. Geo. P. Gray, Chief of the Division of Chemistry. This was introduced to the Legislature on January 16th, 1923, as Senate Bill No. 35, by Senator Osborne and referred to the committee on agriculture. This bill is intended to prevent fraud in the sale of agricultural lime, marl, gypsum, sulphur, and other minerals not now covered by any law, and to raise the standard of such substances by requiring the labeling of every lot, giving the percentage of valuable constituents and the name of the purchaser or dealer. It will be entirely self-supporting by means of license fees, and tonnage taxes, and can be economically administered in conjunction with the Fertilizer Law, without any additional expense for supervision. The anticipated collections are estimated at about $10,000.00 per year, which will allow for employment of two inspectors and one chemist, and provide for necessary traveling expenses, chemical supplies, and additional postage and printing. A number of farmers' organizations, farm advisors, and officials of the Agricultural Experiment Station, have expressed their approval of such a law. The majority of those engaged in the industry are also heartily in favor of a law of this kind for their own protection against unfair competition from unscrupulous dealers.

The majority of those engaged in the industry are also heartily in favor of a law of this kind for their own protection against unfair competition from unscrupulous dealers. The need for the bill as proposed has been fully shown by investigations made by the Division of Chemistry of the State Department of Agriculture. Results of this investigation have been given in Special Publications 18 and 29, of the State Department of Agriculture. It is shown that many of the minerals covered in the proposed law are advertised or labeled so as to give the prospective purchaser the impression that he is obtaining not only lime or gypsum, but in addition, an appreciable quantity of the three commonly recognized plant foods, nitrogen, phosphoric acid and potash, which substances determine the commercial value of a fertilizer. Fifty-two lots of lime stone and marl obtained at as many as thirty-two different localities in the state have been examined. These analysis show that a wide variation in composition exists. Of the fifty-two lots tested, only sixteen contain 90% or over of calcium carbonate. Many specimens have been analyzed which contain two-thirds clay or sand, some samples even running as low as 90% sand or clay. Since the investigation has started, a notable improvement has been shown in the quality of the materials marketed, but some form of legal regulation is needed in order to correct the evils noted above. It is estimated that in excess of 100,000 tons of agricultural minerals are sold in the state each year at prices ranging as high as $65.00 per ton. Many instances are known where very low grade lime has been sold at a price five to six times higher than high grade lime could have been purchased. Under present conditions, the purchaser has no means of detecting these frauds on account of the nature of the materials, the agricultural value of which cannot be judged except by chemical analysis. This bill provides that each lot or package be labeled showing the percentage of each valuable constituent. SANTA FE LEASE SANTA FE LEASE, Jan. 30. (Spl.)—Mrs. C. H.

THE ORANGE COUNTY PLAIN DEALER, ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA CITRUS PRUNING TO BE FEATURED The Agricultural Extension Service announces another series of citrus pruning demonstrations for February 13th to 17th. The object of these field meetings will be largely to demonstrate the follow-up treatment of trees frosted a year ago, but normal trees will also be handled for the benefit of those who did not attend the previous field demonstrations. Pruning will be featured at El Modena, Yorba Linda and La Habra; oranges at Tustin, Garden Grove and Anaheim. The following schedule has been arranged. Locations of the demonstrations will be announced later. Feb. 13th, Garden Grove 2 p.m.; Feb. 14, Yorba Linda 10 a.m., El Modena, 2 p.m. Feb. 15, Anaheim 10 a.m., La Habra, 2 p.m. Feb. 16th, Tustin, 10 a.m. FOR NEW BRIDGE LUMA, Jan. 30.—A new bridge across the Colorado river and rearrangement of its tracks at Yuma, Ariz., at a cost of about $2,000,000 are contemplated by the Southern Pacific Railroad Company. Chief Engineer G. W. Boschke has notified the city council of Yuma that construction will be started in about a year. The new bridge will span the river between two buttes known as Prison Hill and Indian School Hill. On the California side a viaduct over the main traveled highway and a trestle over the Yuma project main canal will have to be constructed. As mischief in youth will often carry too far, so will foolishness in old age. The DOBLE STEAM MOTOR Will be in ANAHEIM Thursday, Friday and Saturday February 1, 2 and 3 ANAHEIM Thursday, Friday and Saturday February 1, 2 and 3 IRVIN’S GARDEN 247 N. Los Angeles St. 10:00 a.m. to 9 p.m. THE DOBLE STEAM MOTOR CAR is so astonishingly superior that it cannot be measured by the same standards! For years engineers have dreamed of a perfect automobile—a car struction and operation, economical to drive, silent and luxurious moving parts, without the bother of self starter, clutch and gear shift its way through traffic with the ease of a pedestrian, a car the success LUTELY ASSURED, because it would IMPROVE TRANSPORTATION Today Abner Doble has perfected such a car in his master creativeness the world's greatest motive power—STEAM—to automotive bids fair to completely revolutionize the standards of the motor world. Speed The car is geared one-and-a-half to one and has a road speed of 75 miles per hour in reserve. Its acceleration is simply astonishing. It is possible to attain 60 miles per hour from a standing start in a shorter space of time than any other car operating today. Simplicity The entire power plant contains but 36 moving parts. There is no clutch, gear shift, self-starter, transmission or universal joints. The car is controlled by the operation of a single lever; starts from absolutely "cold" in 30 seconds by merely turning on an electric switch. Economy The Doble car burns kerosene, distillate or gasoline without adjustment. Wonderful oil economy—500 miles to the pint—or 4,000 miles per gallon—2,000 to 3,000 miles on one filling of water—30% increased tire mileage. True, these are astounding facts, but the Doble car performs in accordance with every one of these statements.

At 35 miles per hour the Doble motor is turning but 545 revolutions per minute, compared with the average gas car motor, turning 1,800 to 2,200 revolutions at the same speed. Vibration is eliminated in the Doble car. Climbing Ability The stock Doble carries a steam pressure of 750 pounds. The locomotive that rushes the "Owl" to San Francisco requires 200 pounds pressure. Steam pressure is irresistible, and responds most startlingly on the steepest hill. In short, the Doble Steam Motor is completely beyond comparison for hill work. monstrated facts EM! demonstrated facts EM! ORATION State Building
