In California, where "baby AAA" bill and the new AsTicuitural Prorate Act are al.so imder attack.

It is likewise expected that prompt court action will be sought to permit enforcement of the state to go hand-ln-hand with the federal drive for ellectlve murketinfj apreemenUs licenses. Loring Tells Views And Interviews Had On San Diego Trip With both the federal and governments doing tlieii- utmast to aid agriculture in it.s figlit for rehabilitation, it Ls to be lioped that California farmers will lend evei-y po.ssible ance in making the program irrespeetive of diiTcrences of opinion regarding ttii' melliods which are being euiployed. Looking at the ijroljlem in its broadest aspect, the Triple A program has becntne an important part of the agricultural structure of the nation. And ui tlie al)sence of any Ix'tter program, the only sensible approach is to do everything humanly po.ssible to make it a sucees.s. In almost every where the iinrketing agreements have been given ii fair trial, they have produced practical markets, improving farm income and taking at Kii some of llie gamble out of tlie farmer's business.

Pi'om this standpoint alone, the program lias real merit, for speculation in farm prcxiucts is injurious to both the producer and the advantageous only to the middleman. One of the strongest in favor of tile Ls that tile marketing agreements are set up by the industry administered by actual (lucers arid shippers wlio are thoroughly familiar and sympathetica witli the pioblem.

C. E. ROBERTS, Optometrist, Ukiah Comer State and SUndlcy WILLITS, Aug. makirg a trip that extended as far south as Mexcio it may be well to give a few ob as I saw them. The entire trip was made on auto stages and the round trip fare Willits to San Diego was only $22, which is much cheaper tlian a person could make the same trip in their own car.

It happened that during this trip, which included the larger portior of the month of August, unusual weather prevailed most of the time, for it was unusually hot in the sweltering canycftis of downtown Lwi Angeles and al at other polnt-s. Following this heat wave they had a rainstorm that extended from San Diego to San FrancLsco and at San LuLs Obispo nearly an inch of rain fell. ThLs was "very unusual" for that part of the state and, strange to relate, there was only a trace of rain In Mendocino county where it could have been expected during hop picking time. This only proves that conditions are unusual everywhere this year. In thLs connection it is well to state that they have had a very backward and poor growing in the part of the state and after talking with people from the Pacific Northwest I discovered that like conditions prevailed there aLso.

People everywhere are badly discouraged and all are hoping that things will take a turn for the better within the next few months. In the retail busine.ss is reported as being much better than it was a year ago. due largely to the vast amount of government money which Ls being pumped into circulation. Southern California and the lower San Joaquin valley are up against it on account of a shortage of rain during the past few years and where they pump water for irrigation they find that the water table keeps getting lower and lower and sometimes, at the lower levels, they are getting salt and other heavy mineralized water which cannot be used. While in San Diego I read the report of the superintendent of their municipal water company.

San Diego built a of big dams in the mountains east of the city and the report stated that there was two billion gallons less water in these lakes than there was a year ago and that the lakes were only 38''c full. The same complaint was made in the Los Angeles area and they are working hard to get the water from the Colorado river when the Boulder canyon dam is completed. On the return trip I came througli tlie San Joaquin valley and at the lower end saw numerous orchards and vineyards that had to be abandoned on account of lack of water. People of tiiat section are one hundred per cent for the central California water project, for that appears to be their only salvation. OtherwLse that rich section will gradually revert into desert.

The cost of living Ls much less in California than in thLs jiart of the state, due to the fierce competition, and lots of business people fail The same quality of meals with similar service will average about twenty per cent less down there than up here For illustration about cut-tliroat prices will give some that I saw in the windows of barber shops in Los Angeles. These shops were located in the central portion of the city and in San Fi-ancisco. amid like the price of a haircut is 50 cents and 35 cents for a shave. In Los Angeles I read one sign that said 12 cents for a haircut and 8 cents for a sh This was a large shop with mirrors fancy wash stands, women manicurists, colored porters and bootblacks. In another shop they advertised 17 cents for both haircut and shave.

At a fruit stand one can get a peach or other piece of fruit for a penny and the dealer also furnishes a They have hole-in-the-wall soft drink places in the heart of Las Angeles where they advertise all of the orange or grape fruit Juice you can drink for five cents I only took two but I presume others sometimes take more. They were ad- vertLsing auto trips to El Paso, Texas, tor $10 and the same to San Francisco for $6 with berth and meals included Tliere were some other prices that would appear ridiculous to our people While at the Diego expasition one day I set down to rest on one of the outside benches after spending time walking through one of the large buildings and a very friendly woman came out wearing a badge and told me that she was on the reception committee for the Royal Neigli- bors who were being entertained that day at the Hall of Haspitality. I told her that there was a lodge of that order in Willits and then she got all excited and lokl me tliat she lived in Mendocino county from 1900 to 1910 and that she thought Mendocino county wius the best part of the state and especially Fort Bragg. She knew many prominent people that I knew during that period I know knew what was talking about. Her name is Florence Wilson and some our old- timers may remember her.

I aLso went out to Sawtelle and spent the day with Mr. and Mrs. Howard Wood, who iLscd to live here. They are living in a de luxe auto court and have water, gas and electricity in a Two thoiKsand farmers arc expected to attend the Harvest Festival and feast to be staged by Granges in Sacramento in connection with the and national Grange conventions during November. The harvest "feast" will be a dinner of fruits, nuts, and other products of the farm, emblematic of the gifts of Pomona, the of Plenty.

Tlie feast always follows the conferring of the Sixth degree by officers of the state Grange. Nearly two tons of fruits and nuts will be required to care for the feast, and materials already arc being gathered from all sections of the state Specially dried apricots, figs, pears, dates, nuts and olives will be collected and shipped to Sacramento The California Almond Growers' Ex- chonge has offered Its facilities to the farmers ond other storage facilities also are being orranged. The Harvest Feast Ls a tradition in the Orange, expressing rejoicing at the end of a bountiful crop season. In California with it's more than 180 commercial crops this year promises to be one of great bounty. No other slate in the Union can dLspIay a variety of edible fruits, nuts and other crops Many ea.stern delegates who will visit California this fall probably never have tasted some of the state's sub-tropical fruits and nuts.

Only California fruits will be served at this farm feast. Death Takes Aged Owner of Resort Martin A. Ray, owner of Ray's Re sort on the Navarro river, near Phllo, and one of the most widely known and highly respected residents of this county, died Tuesday, following an illness which had brought members of his family to his bedside. Mr. Ray was born in Indiana in 1842, and leaves his widow, Alice Ray, and the following sons and daughters: Avon, Edward and Paul Ray, Mrs.

Emma Cureton, Mrs. Viola Cureton, Mrs. Pearl Dutro. Interment was in the Booiiville cemetery. PATIENT A SUICIDE Korbin Schneider, 55, a San Fran- cLsco man, committed suicide by at the Mendocino State hospital last Sunday, and although dLs- covered by an attendant before death ensued efforts to resiLscitate him failed.

He was held to be improving mentally and was allowed periods of freedom on tlie grounds. well-furnLshed apartment for only $15 per month. Since leaving Mendocino county the Woods have become quite citified and they tell that Howard even wears evening clothes when he attends social functions given by the movie stars. We returned to Los Angeles over the Santa Monica boulevard and passed through Beverly Hills and other arLstocratic This boulevard caiTies five lines of traffic and is as wide as one of our blocks. The sijeedsters go in the middle wliile the delivery trucks and people who do not care to drive at faster tiian forty miles an hour take the outside strips.

There are so many autos in Los Angeles and the "stop-go" signals are so frequent that it is nlmast as fast if one wallcs. On account of thLs great congestion in down town Los Angeles a large number of big stores are now building branches in the suburbs for that city out for a distance of fifteen miles, or more, in every direction. There is very little building going on in the south and what there is Ls confined to dwellings. Of course there are some alterations being made some of the large buildings but not many like it used to be. By the naiTOW margin of a dropped throw to first base the Lions lost the league championship to the Twenty-Thirty Wednesday evening in their last game of the season.

In the last of the seventh the Lions had two down and a two-run lead when Wlldberger dropped Ashton's good throw on what would have been the third out. Two ruas that inning before the side was retired and In the lost of the ninth the Twenty- Thirty the winning run when Dcniiam counted from third after Si- monclnl's fly was caught. Ceccerelll of the winners and Dear of the losers each had three hits. Numerous walks accounted for the high total scores. 20-30 10 9 5 Lions 9 10 7 Denham, WoodrufI and Ceccerelll; Lions Ma- hurln and Dear.

In a free game replete with errors the Red Stars, Business and Professional Women entry, took the girls title by taking the Kangaroos in the third and deciding game of the series. The Red Stars had their hitting clothes on. batting around in the ttiird and again in the sixth, mainly with the aid of fifteen Kangaroo errors. Hits were well spread the two teams, seven players getting two safeties apiece. Red Stars 23 11 6 Kangaroos 10 12 15 Stars, Broggl and Brawn; Kangaroos.

Cameron and Colombini. As a feature of the claslng ceremonies, Fred Creen, president of the Recreation League awarded the cuixs to the winning teams. For the fourth time Redwood Valley took the good sportsmanship trophy. The A league title went to the Native Sons for the successive year, the girls trophy to the Red Stars, and the league to the Twenty-Thirty. Though the season just closed saw a falling off in attendance players and spectators united in calling the league a success.

Suggestions were called for from the spectators the officials might u.se them as a basis for changes In the future seasons and some valuable hints were secured. Cupe awarded were, to the A League, the Bechtol Hardware Company cup; for Good Sportsmanship, the P. H. Joseph cup, and to the Girls' League, the Lieurance Stores cup. The Kenwood Browns, to play the Twenty-Thirty Fiiday, sent a last-minute word that they would be unable to appear so the Twenty-Thirty played a pickup team a as preliminary, winning 6 to 2.

In what could have been a sparkling game the Native Sons played an all- star team from the remainder of the league to a 10 to 10 tie, when both teams refused to play enough to warrant continuing the fiasco. The Coast Farm Center Annual Show Draws Fine Line Exhibits Tlic annual stock show, l)arbecuo and dance of the Point Arena- Monchester Farm Center this year exceeded expectations, both in attendance and in the quality and quantity of exhibits. Of especial Interest were the showings of fruits, vegetables and flowers for which blue ribbons were awarded. The onnual showing of fruits and flowers at the farr.i center has brought these products of that section to the notice of districts for removed with the result that a yearly lncrea.se in interest Ls shown In thLs particular division. The stock was held under the supervision of Judge Regan of the University of California and he gave awards to the following: Farm Center cup to John Moun- govan for grand champion purebred bull.

Swift cup to John Stornetta for live best two-year-olds. Jaseph Scaramella cup to John Stornetta for best calf. Farm Center cup to James P. Glaggl for grmid champion grade cow. Farm Center cup to Jolm Stornetta for grand champion purebred cow.

A. P. Ornbaun of Elk entered a fine ram which he recently added to hLs flock and was awarded a blue ribbon. The dance proved popular with a great many people and the barbecue established a record for excellence. .5 MINOR ACCIDENTS The weekend holidays passed here without a major accident to mar our already highly commendable record, according to the at the highway patrol office.
