WEDNESDAY, MARCH 18, 1925 FARMERS HIT BY PROPOSED LAWS By A. M. Stanley, Secy. Manager Orange Co. Farm Bureau The evident need of farmer organization to watch interests before legislation is more pronounced than ever before. Farming would be seriously handicapped by A. B. 888. This bill prohibits transportation of property on highways for compensation by other than franchise carriers and under those terms farmer would be preventing from assisting a neighbor in rush crop season in hauling produce for him. The bill has support of railroads and franchised motor carriers and very strong lobby is constantly endeavoring to secure its enactment. It is needless to say the Farm Bureau and affiliated agricultural organizations are using all in their power to defeat measure. On behalf of farmer who owns small Ford Farm Bureau has introduced amendments to motor vehicle legislation to provide for elimination of farmers box-back Ford from commercial license requirements and to permit operation of magneto lights on Fords until Sept. 1, 1927. The first amendment corrects practical discrimination against small car owner and would be benefit to all having removed "turtle back" of Ford. The second amendment would permit sufficient time to wear out magneto lighted cars now in operation. At present there are nearly 100 bills in Legislature seriously affecting farmer interests and each is being pressed with more or less vigor. A private letter from Sacramento states: "You would be astonished to know difficulties we are encountering here on agricultural program, and of many vicious measures being promoted against welfare of farmers."

Jacks "Realities and Shams" and his "Religious Perplexities" are inspiring little books and a challenge to courage. The author defines religion as a power which develops the hero in the man at the expense of the crowd. "Lyman Abbott's 'What Christianity means to me' is a fascinating revelation of a strong character. William Lyon Phelps "Human Nature in the Bible," and "Women of the Bible" by Annie Russell Marble are both fine interpretations of Bible characters, and no Sunday School teacher but did would be a better teacher for having read them.

Goodspeed's "American translation of the New Testament" tells the old, old story in simple straightforward English of everyday expression.

TWO TESTED TIPS When caught in a driving rain storm and forced to stop until the worst is over, wetting of the coll and other electric equipment under the hood can be prevented by turning the back of the car to the wind. When making an improvised covering for the gas tank filler pipe to take the place of a lost cap, be sure to allow some opening for air; otherwise the vacuum feed system will not operate.

Fall, former secy. of interior, got under way here in Federal Judge T. Blake Kennedy's court when Martin W. Littleton, chief of Sinclair legal artillery, made opening statement for defense. Sincleton launched into brief oratorical denunciation of senatorial investigation of Teapot lease and expressed gratitude at "being at last in court of justice after having been purposed over burning sands of political persecution." Littleton went to $25,000 'loan' made to Fall by Col. J. W. Zevely on behalf of Sinclair, pointing out that loan was made in order that Fall might go to Russia in interest of Sinclair. Sincleton traced laws of land respecting public domain down to Feb. 1920, declaring for 12 or 15 years prior to 1920 legislation affecting leasing of government oil lands was practically stagnant. In 1920, Sincleton pointed out, law was passed giving jurisdiction of leasing oil lands to navy department. Sincleton said defense would show by evidence that Pres. Harding's executive order transferring leasing of naval oil lands from navy to interior department was perfectly legal. Sincleton also declared defense would introduced evidence by Rear Admiral Robison, H. Foster Bain and other government employees to substantiate Sinclair claim of legality of presidential executive order and to show Teapot lease was necessary because of fear of drainage to adjacent wells in Salt Creek Oil Field.

CORY Assistant Farm Advisor With general spread of bean weevil in bean growing sections local growers should be extremely cautious in preventing like infestation here. From all experimental data available at present it would appear that planting of infested seed will not infect growing crop as weevils lay eggs only in pod after beans are well matured or preferably in mature bean. The period between planting and maturing of new crop weevils will not survive providing there are no beans for them to lay eggs on from which new generations might hatch. Consequently, it behooves every bean grower to be sure there are no beans or cowpeas left in storage, in planter., or bean straw containing large numbers of beans that might possibly serve as breeding places. The weevil is able to survive severe conditions when within the bean, but is comparatively short lived after emerging. The planting of weevily seed inures crop by causing large percentage of seeds to fail to germinate; also, by hastening decomposition of seeds while germinating and by removing and making unavailable much of plant food which should aid the young plant in becoming well established, thus making weak unproductive plants.
