ORANGE SHIPMENTS RECORD LAST MONTH May shipments of oranges from So. Calif., at 5116 cars were the largest of any May on record except May, 1917, according to compilations of the California Fruit Growers Exchange. In May, 1922, only 2,920 cars were shipped. Even in 1921 only 4,372 cars left the Southern orange belt. The number of cars from the Northern orange belt was a record during the past calendar month at 1,994 cars. This compares with 256 cars in May, 1922, and 1,444 cars in May, 1921, the best previous mark. Florida with 1,313 cars of oranges and 2,107 cars of grapefruit also broke all previous records. Only 772 cars of oranges and grapefruit were shipped from Porto Rico. The total from California, Florida and porto Rico was 10,602 cars, which is by far the largest aggregate on record. May, 1921, with 7,855 cars was the next best May record. Figuring from Sept., 1, to May 31, 3,127,662 cars were shipped from the Southern orange belt, the best figure on record except 29,152 in 1917. All of the other districts also scored new records and the total of 79,998 cars was over 11,000 cars more than any previous aggregate in May. 1924 Valencia Crop Largest Ever Moved Registering a net gain of 248 cars over the previous estimate taken May 1, the June figures furpished by the California Fruit Growers Exchange shippers indicate a gain of 570 cars in the orange estimate and a reduction of 356 lemons. The present estimate of 18,235 cars of Valencias the crop year for Exchange ships predicts the largest crop of Valencias ever shipped from California exceeding by a slight margin the bumper crop of 1921, the July Citrus.

NEW HAVEN, Conn., Jung 25. When Martha went to Yale, in the brightest days of the merry month of May nearly everyone else left. Martha was curious and invaded beds, peered into bureau drawers and peeked into closets until the university was frantic—except those who knew Martha and made friends with her. Martha was a 6-foot black snake of sufficiently frightful appearance to cause divers panics whenever she appeared, even in classrooms, where scholars and instructors alike left her alone. Twenty-four hours after a student solemnly averred he had carried Martha to the wilds of the city's park on East Rock, a dealer in animals capped the climax by proving he had lent Martha to a student and that BIGELOW BACK TO MILES Edward Bigelow, of the Realty Co., and the Bigelow Stationery store, 308 East returned Saturday midnight journey through the east, ered in a month more than miles.

Largest Ever Moved Registering a net gain of 248 cars over the previous estimate taken May 1, the June figures furnished by the California Fruit Growers Exchange shippers indicate a gain of 570 cars in the orange estimate and a reduction of 356 lemons. The present estimate of 18,235 cars of Valencia oil the crop year for Exchange shipers predicts the largest crop of Valencias ever shipped from California exceeding by a slight margin the bumper crop of 1921, the July Citrus graph will say. The Navel crop of this season is 1548 cars less and the lemon estimated crop 1981 cars less than the crops of the respective varieties actually shipped by Exchange members in 1921. This has been a season of unusual difficulty in forecasting the volume of the crop. Monthly estimator made since the beginning of the season have shown marked variation. As compared with crop predictions in November the June estimate shows a gain of 67758 cars of oranges or 22 per cent increase and the lemon a decrease of 944 cars, or 10 per cent.

STRENGTHEN LAWS TO FORESTALL JAPS SACRAMENTO, June 25—a resolution calling for immediate strengthening of the immigration laws to prohibit further "peaceful penetration" HIS APPOINTMENT FILLS CABINET OF BRITISH PREMIER ANOTHER MOISTURE DEMONSTRATION WED Through popular request another soil moisture field meeting for Citrus Growers has been scheduled for La Habra on Wednesday, June 27 at 2:00 p.m. The demonstration will be held at the place of Chris Schneider's place, one and a half miles north of La Habra, near Col. Perkins place. The soil moisture question has gained considerable attention among the Citrus Growers of Orange County this season, largely as a spread of influence from the various field demonstrations held during the spring months by the Agricultural Extension Service more attention being given to a closer study of soil moisture needs by use of soil auger, than ever before. There is no doubt but that a large proportion of Citrus orchard deteriation can be traced to improper irrigation practice. In most cases excessive amounts of water have been used, resulting in diminished root growth and consequently less production. The public is invited.

S., Staff Correspondent) CHICAGO, June 22—The chap who works his way through college and is really anxious to get something out of his work should get married right at the start. It's the necessary stabilizing influence—takes the women off his mind and gives him time to think. This is the formula for success in school work prescribed by Merwyn Heald, engineering student at Northwestern University. To back up his claims that matrimony "make a man" Heald points to a third scholarship record shattered by him. For three seasons he has been supreme, finishing the last semester with an average of 94.2 per cent. To show that when a fellow gathers down to business and studies in home of his own he is able to concentrate as never before Heald points to a 3-months-old baby. He baby says, has been broadcasting a program all its own for several weeks but even that bothers this student not in the least when he becomes engrossed in his studies. "I'm going to school now as a business," Heald said in discussing his successes. "When I went before it was merely a pastime." It's the best thing hat ever happened to me in the way of getting college education—gitting married. RANCHERS READY TO SHOOT FRESH DRIVERS Horses are not ready for the museums yet!
