IN 20--21 New Crop Will Total 3350 to 3500 in This District Estimates Sandilands The new crop of oranges and lemons from the Anaheim district will exceed that of 1920-21, the record year, by 300 to 500 cars, Manager G. W. Sandilands of the Anaheim Orange & Lemon Ass'n indicated today. The crop then was 3000 cars. Sandilands refused to hazard an estimate of the crop from California as a whole. Reports are that naval growing sections also will have banner crops in 1923-24. Sandilands' estimate of the district's crop this year was 2650 cars, while 2666 cars were shipped. Sandilands' estimate was used in compiling the total semi-official estimate for the State at the beginning of the season. He says that the 2666 this year included approximately 30 cars of lemons, of which his house shipped 25 cars. There is no way of telling how many cars are taken out of Anaheim by truck to be shipped from other railway shipping points, but Anaheim and West Anaheim also receive some fruit from other districts. Sandilands pointed out that semi-official estimates for the entire State at the beginning of the season were for 50,300 cars, whereas the total will be approximately 60,000 cars. Up to yesterday 50,583 cars of oranges had been shipped from California and 8,561 of lemons, compared with 29,154 of oranges in 1921-22 and 9,837 of lemons. That is, a grand total of 59,144 cars of citrus fruit had been shipped against 38,991 last season. Several hundred cars are yet to go. In 1920-21, the previous banner season for the State, 47,794 cars of oranges had been shipped and 11,654 of lemons, or a grand total of 59,448. Large sizes this year brought the crop up, says Sandilands. OILMAN INJURED IN SANDPIT CAVE-IN William J.

GOVERNER APPEALS FOR ENFORCEMENT SACRAMENTO, Oct. 23.—Governor Richardson was today on record as demanding that all public officials make war on 'bootleggers and their criminal associates' in California. The governor's statement, which declared that "violation of the eighteenth amendment in a few cities in the state has been open and notorious," follows; "The constitution is the foundation of our government and should have the support of every citizen. I urge every public official in California to lend his aid in enforcing the constitution. The violation of the eighteenth amendment in a few critics in the state has been open and notorious. Every effort should be exerted by peace officers and judicial officials of California to enforce the law. "The bootleggers and their criminal associates must be stopped from plying their nefarious trade. In the majority of the cities and counties of the state the law is enforced but there are still many wet spots in California. This condition should be corrected. I ask every state officer and employee to lend his aid to the officers in suppressing this 'illegal traffic." "California should prove to the nation that it respects the constitution and every citizen should help wipe out these traitorious dealings in liquor. Places where liquor is illegally dispensed should be closed under abatement proceedings.

Immediately after the explosion, flames enveloped and destroyed the derrick. Houses within a radius of several miles of the explosion are said to have been shaken as though by an earthquake. The well came in as a 3000-barrel a day producer, co-incident with the explosion and fire, it was reported. Loss in destruction of the derrick and the ripping of casing and other damage will reach $150,000, it was stated. If the hole cannot be saved, the laus will be greater. The blaze was reported under control this afternoon, when steam lines had been directed at it. A control head had been used to cap the gusher, but the gas pressure was so great that the heavy piece of mechanism was torn loose and cast upward, causing a spark which ignited the gas when it struck some drill pipe standing in the derrick. The big gusher, which was drilled by the Union to 4200 feet, is expected to prefare renewed drilling activity to the deeper sand of the Placentia-Richfield field. The well, on the Mrs. Lottie Morse lease, is north of the Kraemer and Chapman leases and near Palm drive. S. P.
