FLORIDA BACKING ANTI-CAL. DRIVE Back from a trip to Atlantic City, N.J., and return via the Carolinas, Mobile, Ala., and New Orleans, H. W. Lewis, manager-partner of the J. C. Penney Co., today charged that the propaganda against California was coming from large concerns backing companies which had bought up huge tracts of land in Florida. Fortunes in real estate are being made overnight in the southeastern pennaula state, Lewis was told, and Florida is enjoying wonderful prosperity. An encouraging thing for California is the revival of productive mining in New Mexico and Arizona. Arizona appears in for a long period of mining prosperity. The cattle ranges look dry, but the mining industry will offset that. A Nebraska man told Lewis that Nebraskans going to California and dying here would lose 25 per cent of their estate in inheritance taxes. "Regardless of where a man lives or where his property is," he is subject to this tax, Lewis was informed. If this is true, Lewis believes that California had better get its law into line with those of other states. Lewis observed that the best California oranges were being sold at 65 to 75 cents per dozen in New York City. He noticed Florida grapefruit put up in paper cartons in dozen lots that sold as low as 40 cents in the national metropolis. More Florida fruit of all kinds was displayed than California fruit, owing to the season. The Anahelmer was much interested in the russet oranges of Florida with which he hadn't been familiar. Lewis went to Atlantic City to attend the 1925 convention of the J. C. Penney Co. After the gathering the visitors went to the buying department of the big concern in New York. The local Penney manager spent a week with relatives in Binghamton, N.Y. Returning, he stopped at Philadelphia and Washington, D.C. BLAST ICE JAM COLDBOOK, N. H., Feb. 12.—By dynamiting the ice jams in Mohawk river, volunteer workers saved 500 homes in the north end of this town today when the river overflowed its banks, flooding the whole valley. For hours the roar of the exploding dynamite shook the countryside until the river became free. Fifteen persons were marooned in their homes but they were taken out by rescuers in boats. One ice jam remained in the river two miles above the town. Dynamiters were at work on this jam. NOW THEY'RE ONE Tasmezo Yamomato and Megagika Heyasheyma, Japanese, were married by Judge Kuchel. The couple had been living together since May 1923, under the false impression that they were married. They obtained a marriage license at that time, but did not have the ceremony performed, thinking that a marriage license was all that was necessary. most every little town has a mill. The tendency is for the entire industry to move southward. The Southern Power Co., which controls most of the water power sites in the Carolinas, has had a lot to do with bringing industries southward. Labor is cheap, but isn't exploited. The factory concerns have erected good houses for their help and are looking after their social needs. The South generally speaking is in the best condition it has ever been. It is destined thru cheap power and labor to acquire most of the cotton textile industry. At New Orleans there was not much surplus labor. The finding of oil about Baton Rouge has furnished Louisiana with an additional source of prosperity. Few people realize the extent of rice growing in this state. Rice production really is taking the place of sugar cane raising, because American growers cannot compete with Cuban, where labor is paid 35 to 60 cents per day compared with $1.75 to $2.25 to the American negro. Great stretches of level land are plains. MITCHELL DENIED INSUBORDINATE WASHINGTON, Feb. 12. Gen. Win Mitchell, as chief of the army air force denied this afternoon before house investigating conspiracy that he had been guilty of ordination during the army bombing tests off the W capes in 1921.

Sgt. Win Mitchell, assistant chief of the army air service, led this afternoon before the case investigating committee that he had been guilty of insubordination during the army-navyumbing tests off the Virginia lines in 1921. The charge that Mitchell fail to obey orders was made by Capt. Alfred Johnson of the navy crew of aeronautics. Johnson declared that Mitchell, leaden, the army bombing planes, was taken off before he was scheduled to leave, in violation of written orders, for the attack on the ex-German battleship Osweiler. If we didn't co-operate with navy, it was because we sunk ship." Mitchell asserted, "We need to carry out not only the writ but the letter of the written instructions." Gen. Hugh Drum, whose device of the methods of the army service invoked the wrath of big Gen. Mitchell and led to the present row over militaryeronauties, was scheduled to answer attack today. Wm. J. Schauffer of Washington, who commanded an aerial conservation group during the world war described as "absolutely rot." Gen. Drum's statement that he could successfully defend a national capital with twelve anti-aircraft guns. WASHINGTON, Feb. 12—The charge that the navy department used to accept a new type of plane, which, if used by another nation, would place the United States at its mercy was made by Lieut. Col. Harold Hart, former army flyer, who commanded the first pursuit squadron of the A.E.F. during the world war. SMEDLEY SPEAKS Fullerton Rotary yesterday was addressed by Ralph Smedley, Santa Ana Y. M. C. A. secretary, FULLERTON C. OF C. ISSUES PAMPHLET Fullerton C. of C. has issued another pamphlet in which it declares the site on the Bastanebury ranch to be the "most logical and desirable" of any offered. More than 100 cities with a combined population of 850,000 people lie to the east of an imaginary line from San Pedro across the center of Los Angeles, while to its west lie 22 cities exclusive of Los Angeles with 150,000 people. Fullerton lies to the east in a territory which includes Long Beach, Santa Ana, Riverside, Pomona, San Bernardino and San Diego as well as Anaheim, Orange, Whittier, El Centro, etc. Besides the 350,000 people 90 per cent of the rural population of So. Cal. is in the section to the west. The center of population of the Southland will inevitably move to the east and south. Hence the site should be east of Los Angeles. Transportation routes of the majority of the population outside Los Angeles to be considered would be undesirable if the site were in or near Los Angeles. The arguments in favor of climate, cost of water, etc., again are detailed at length. ORANGE-CO. COWS PRODUCING MORE There were 779 cows tested this past month by the association. They produced on the average of 892 pounds of milk and 3.78 pounds of butterfat. J. R. McGregor herd averaged 47 pounds of butterfat which was the highest proportion of any herd under 25 cows. Mrs. A. Smits' herd averaged 51.5 pounds, which placed it highest in herds 25 to 40 cows. The R. T. Dairy at rugged 42.4 pounds, which was highest of any herd over 40 cows. Raitt's Dairy of Santa Ana had the highest producing cow for the month. She produced 2,499 pounds of butterfat. This is an average of 80 pounds of milk and 3.3 pounds of butterfat a day. Quite a good family cow. Every get on the oil map Angeles basin. Oil Company is make effort to find a little well in the question well is now at a depletion and has no showing lions. Hermosa is being chance to make a bison station on the oil map California, and it sees... large that the navy department used to accept a new type of plane, which, if used by an American nation, would place the United States at its mercy made by Lieut. Col. Harold Hart, former army flyer, who commanded the first pursuit squadron of the A.E.F. during the world war. Mrs. A. Smits' herd averaged 51.5 pounds, which placed it highest in herds 25 to 40 cows. The R. T. Dairy attained 42.4 pounds, which was biased of any herd over 40 cows. Ritt's Dairy of Santa Ana had the highest producing cow for the month. She produced 2,499 pounds of milk, containing 102.5 pounds of butterfat. This is an average of 80 pounds of milk and 3.2 pounds of butterfat a day. Quite a good family cow. Every cow in the herd with a production like this is the ambition of every dairyman. Two other cows need honorable mention, however,—one owned by L. C. Lea, which produced 85.4 pounds of butterfat, and one owned by R. F. Hazard, producing 82.2 pounds. An increase in the average production of butterfat is noted this month. With 779 cows tested, the average production of milk was 892 pounds and 37.8 pounds of butterfat. This is an increase of 48 pounds of milk and 1.3 pounds of butterfat over that of last month, and an increase of 23 pounds of milk and 2.7 pounds of butterfat over that of January last year. This is a splendid showing as computed on the basis of $1.00 per pound for butterfat, this increase in average production would mean a return of $2,103.30 in excess of that received January of last year on the same butterfat price basis. This may not mean that the dairyman has been able to secure a larger profit over that of last year, because other economic factors may enter in that cut this figure down but it does show that where a herd has reached the average production of the association, a large return has been secured. In other words, the average cow in January of last year produced 35.1 pounds of butterfat, whereas she produced 37.8 pounds this year, which meant an increase of $2.70 in the values of her production. With conditions comparable to those of last year, this increase in average production can be accredited to better herd management, better feeding, and elimination of low producers. One point that is often overlooked is the care of the dry cows. These are so often turned out in dry pastures and made to rustle for themselves, with the result that they freshen in very poor condition, which is a serious mistake. While dry cows do not need the same feed, care, and attention as those milking, they should be handled so that they are in good flesh when freshening. A small amount of graining is usually necessary, but only low protein grains should be fed at this time. No better ration can be provided than silage and alfalfa hay, with two to four pounds of concentrates, depending on the condition of the Milk Protein Greens ant of a southerly extension of the Rosecrans area were short lived. The showings continued only a few feet and disappeared. Now at 6355 the drilling is in brown shale streaked with gray sand; the outlook not so encouraging. It begins to look as though if production is obtained on the property it will be deep. The Gordon will probably fix the south line of the field. The Associated Oil Company continues to get the good production at Dominguez. Holly-DeFrancis No. 5, completed at 4251 feet came in a 1690 barrel well producing 29 gravity oil. The completion of No. 5 scheduled for next week will give the Associated a total of six well producing. The six wells will give the lease an output of 10.,000 barrels. Interest in the deep sand development of the Dominguez field hinges on the outcome of the Shell Company's deep test well Hellman No. 1. The Hellman was drilled to 6075 feet. It is the intention to make a production test of the zone from 5532 to 6075 feet. The well has shown some justifications and there is hope of the well making a showing that will justify further drilling in the way of deep sand development. Things move fast in the Culver City-Baldwin Hills oil field: Oscar Howard set a new record for Southern California by drilling and getting a well ready for production in a week. Howard drilled his Machado No. 1 to a depth of 1856 feet, set a string of 11 inch at 1770 feet, and commented in seven days elapsed time. The well will be put on production before the end of the week. The Baldwin Hills.Culver City field now has its fifth producer, the Standard Oil Company making the contribution in the completion of Los Angeles Investment No. 1.3 at 2560 feet. The new well is a considerably larger producer than has heretofore been completed in the new field; and is attracting some attention. The new L.A.Investment well is making 500 barrels.The average of former completions has been 150-200 barrels. Long Beach perked up last week and gave the Los Angeles Basin a real oil well.The Shell Company's Alamitos No. 23 completed at 4822 feet came in doing 1200 barrels.This is the biggest well the field has had since the opening of the year and seems to reveal the fact that the old field still has a little oil left in it.Long Beach production continues to hold steadily at 124.,000 barrels. The Union Oil Company is about to make a showdown test of the possibilities of deep sand production for the Old Brea field. SCIENCE CLERK MADE DIRECTOR BOSTON, Mass., Feb. 12—Election of G. W. Adams, clerk of the mother church, First Church of Christ, Scientists, as director on the Christian Science board of directors, was announced today. Adams succeeds the late Adam H. Wiekey. He will be nominated for other positions held by Diekey, announcement by the direct stated. The Union Oil Company is about to make a showdown test of the possibilities of deep sand production for the old Brea field. The test will be made on Graham-Loftus No. 55, a well drilled to 5533 feet, has 200 feet of pretty good looking oil sand and appears that it will make an oil well. Drilling of deep test wells in the Brea-Richfield district to date has met with a lot of grief, the grief being water trouble. However, if the Unions' Graham-Loftus 55 makes good it will be the signal for the starting of a lot of new development in the oil field.

The Wilshire Oil Company is making a great effort to find a little production and has to date drilled three wells in the quest. The third well is now at a depth of 5300 and has no showings or indications. Hermosa is being given a chance to make a bid for a position on the oil map of Southern California, and it seems that it is going to make a showing at least. Drilling at 2800 feet has shown some oil and gas. A recent production team revealed some water which is believed prevented the well from making the showing it would have made. Efforts are being made to effect a complete shut off and in a few days the oil fraternity may be able to welcome Hermosa Beach into petroleum circles. Out on the desert in San Bernardino County, a lot of wild cat drilling is going on that will shortly declare whether or not there is any oil on the desert surface. East of Yermo the Weston Pacific Oil Company is down 1160 feet and to date has not had any important showings. At Hermosa the Heperia Oil Gas Company has 3000 feet of hole and is going ahead. Near Victorville the Victor Valley Landowners believe they have something at 1170 feet and preparing to test it out. OUR AIM: TO SERVE YOU WELL AND FAITHFULLY ALWAYS A NATION-WIDE INSTITUTION J.C.
