READY TO START VALENCIA SEASON The Anaheim Orange and Lemon Ass'n is putting the finishing touches to the plant with everything in readiness to start the ball rolling on valencias in the very near future. This Ass'n has concentrated on 'labor saving machinery and is making no radical changes in the handling of fruit. The Ass'n stands high in reputation of being able to handle and deliver fruit to Eastern markets with practically no decay, and from the number of high class customers lined up, its product must be giving the utmost satisfaction. It is the Ass'ns alm and intention to hold the wonderful business built up and do nothing that will shake the confidence of the trade that they hold and have occasion to value very highly. The Anaheim Orange and Lemon Ass'n has perfected its box stacking machines located in the basement and which stack the boxes as they come into the packinghouse from the field five high doing away with considerable labor that otherwise would be required to do this work. It has also installed an electric counting device that actually counts the number of oranges of each size run through the machinery by each grower, being able thereby to give each of the growers an absolutely correct count of his run of fruit, doing away with the loss of time occasioned by estimating the end of each grower's lot of fruit, to say nothing of the element of guess work. It is estimated that considerable time (which we all know costs money) will be saved in a day's run and each day's output considerably increased. One of the latest type cover machines has been installed. This machine nails the cover on the farm woman produces the Best Ear of Corn in United States. America's best ear of corn has been produced by a woman farmer Illinois, for which achievement she won the $1,000 prize offered by National Seed Corn show, held under the auspices of the Sears-Roebel Agricultural Foundation. The feminine champion corn grower is M. Elsa M. Paluska of Waverly, Ill., who received the announcement of victory over more than 27,000 farmers of 45 states on her fifth wedding anniversary. The judges declared that the test showed the ear was per cent perfect. Five years ago Mrs. Paluska and her husband started farming Morgan county, with only $25 in the family coffers. Now they are working a 160-acre farm, and that they are good farmers is evidenced by fact that they test all their seed corn for germination power and disease resistance before planting. The winning ear was a hybrid, the result of a cross between yellow corn and red corn. Back in 1846 James E. Reed, an Ohio farmer, moved to Tazewell county, Illinois, and began to grow corn. It was he made the cross and the prize-winning ear was a descendant of mating.
