CALIFORNIA . . . empire
I have been traveling the
length and breadth of Califor-
nia, for the first time in a good
many years. Nobody can real-
ly know the United States until
he has visited the Pacific
Coast. The country west of
the Great Divide is an empire
in itself. It should be separat-
ed completely from the rest of
the nation and be self-sufficient
and prosperous. It is not hard
to understand why Califor-
nians feel a love for their state
such as few feel for any land.
From the palm-fringed
shores of the South to the pine-
topped mountains of the
north, California has a variety
of climate, of geography ar.d
of scenic beanty such as no
other of the 48 states has. Its
natural resources include ev
erything from oil to oranges,
from grain to gold. In the
South, California's climate in
summer reminds me of that of
Palm Beach or Miami in win
ter. Bright sunshine by day,
but you’re likely to need a top-
coat at nightt. In Othe coun-
try around San Francisco Bay
one can expect rain almost ev-
ery day and straw hats appear
only on the heads of tourists
from the East.
Not without reason does
California call itself the Gold-
en State.
ENGINEERS . . paradise
With more and better raw
material to work on than coald
he found in any comparable
area anywhere, California has
for years been a paradise for
engineers. Beginning with
the gold mining area, winch is
still far from ended, technical
men have been working won-
ders in California. The great
tunnels and aqueducts in the
south, bringing water from the
mountains to irrigate the
farms and turn turbines for
electric power, are matched
by the magnifleient bridges
across the Golden Gate and
the Bay of San Francisco in
the north. Californians drill
for ail in the bed of the ocean,
and invented the curved drill
which can tap oil deposits a
mile away from the original
hole.
The “caterpillar” tractor,
most useful of agricultural im-
plements, is a California inven-
tion. Scientific agriculture
and horticulture have a wider
application in California than,
I believe, in any other state.
I still maintain that Florida
oranges and grapefruit
superior to the California pro-
ducts, but Florida in the mat-
ter of marketing its citrus
fruit. Every California orange
is, in effect, personally con-
ducted from tree to consumer.
SCIENCE . . . advanced
California is a scientific cen-
ter. of world importance. The
great telescope at Lick Obser-
vatory on Mount Wilson has
been the medium through
which the greatest astro-
nomical discoveries of all time
have been made. Now the new
200-inch telescope, twice as
large, is being built on Mount
Palomar, near Lot Angeles,
and in a' year or two we shall
know more about the rest of
the universe than we have
ever known before.
In every phase of scientific
research, many of the greatest
leaders are in California,
working in the University of
California and the California
Institute of Technology, and
attracting students and re-
search workers from all the
world. Here Luther Burbank
did his great work in develop-
ing new kinds of fruits, vege-
tables and flowers; here the
most penetrating research into
the problems of human be-
havior and the working of the
human mind has been done.
Something in the California
air seems to stimulate the
thrist for knowledge.
HOLLYWOOD . . . work
Movie fans from at! over
the world flock to Hollywood
in the tourist season, hoping to
get at least a glimpse, if not an
autograph, of one or more
movie stars. Much bunk has
been written about the glamor-
ous life of actors and actresses,
and the fabulous salaries
young men and women get for
apparently doing nothing but
play around. As a matter of
fact, there are few people who
work harder for their money
than the movie folk. When a
picture is being made, the gla
mour girls have to get up at 5
o’clock in the morning to start
their hair-do’s and make-up
for the day’s work, which be-
gins in the studio at 8- They
work until 5 or 6 o'clock on
the set, and get to bed by 8 or
9. While a picture is in work
they have no time for play. -
Between pictures the movie
actors and actresses make up
for lost time by having as gay
a time as they know how.
Those are short, brief intervals
for the successful ones. The
discipline and demands of the
studios do not permit of any
sort of frivilous behavior
while they are working on a
picture.
’ Not only tourists but resi-
dents are crazy about the
movies. I went to a preview
at the celebrated Chinese
theater in Hollywood a few
days ago, and the streets were
jammed for blocks with
crowds watching for a glimpse
of the stars as they arrived.
The picture was “Stanley and
Livingstone,” and when it
comes to your theatre don’t
miss it. It is one of the most
stirring pictures I have ever
seen.

FRUIT FOR HOME USE
College Station.—“It isn’t
such a long route to the pro-
duction of fruit for home use
as farm people have, often
thought. For instance, straw-
berries like tomatoes will pro-
duce fruit the first season,'
says Jennie Camp, specialist
in home production planning
for the A. and M. College Ex-
tension • Service.
Considering the- fact that
strawberry planting in Texas
ordinarily takes place the last
of October and the first of
November, it’s now high time
for farm people to be making
plans for securing the plant
variety best adapted to their
localities, Miss Camp believes.
How cheaply plants can be
secured was demonstrated last
fall by members of the Cass
county home demonstration
council, who secured more
than 30,000 plants and sold
them to individuals for 25
cents per 100 plants, or $2 per
thousand, less freight and post-
age. the specialist asserted

PRICE ADJUSTMENT
HTS MADE
31 Counties Getting
Checks.
College Station, Aug. 25.—
First batches of a scheduled
$24,100,000 in 1939 cotton
price adjustment payments
were on tbeir way to approxi-
mately 30,000 cotton produc-
ers in 31 counties this week.
Designed to bolster the in-
come of cotton farmers who
have reduced their acreage
this year in view of a towering
cotton surplus, this series of
grants will add to the purchas-
ing power of Texas cotton pro-
ducers the earning equivalent
of around 600,000 bales at ear-
rent prices.
B. B. Ingle, Grandview
farmer and member of the
State Agricultural Conserva-
tion Committee, pointed oat
that the price adjustment of
1.6 cents s pound on the nor-
mal yield of the 1939 cotton
acreage allotment is made to
the 1939 producer.
Delta county, receiving $89.-
102.37, was first in the state to
get 1939 cotton price adjust-
ment checks. Other counties
slated for payments within the
next ten days are Red River.
Titus, Morris, Marion, Rains,
Van Zandt, Williamson, Colo-
rado, San Patricio, Brooks,
Henderson, Hunt, Garza, Kent,
Mitchell, Nolan, San Saba.
Travis, Calhoun, Jim Wells,
Rockwall, Motley, Fisher,
Jackson, Victoria, Bee, Nueces,
WBlscy and LaSalle. |
This is the first yesr that
AAA payments have been ear-
rent with the program to
which they apply. Payments in
connection with the 1937 pro-
gram were msde in 1938, snd
1938 payments are being dis-
tributed this year.
Ingle reported that practi-
cally all of a projected $3,-
000,006 in 1939 wheat price
adjustment payments has been
made in Texas, snd that Tex-
as farmers and ranchmen have
received approximately $60,-
000,000 in 1938 conservation
payments this year.

Floor Seal”
College Station. — Dangers
of highly polished floors can
largely be eliminated with a
new "floor seal,” made of thin
varnishes or bodied drying oils,
according to Mrs. Bernice
Claytor, specialist in home im-
provement for the A. and M.
College Extension Service. This
preparation, she says, keeps
the floors protected at all
times, gives a moderately
lustrous finish, and makes it
possible for the housewife to
clean and renew worn spots
without moving all of the fur-
niture out of one room.
On the walls of caves in

ed by Phil Goodrum, Director
of Research and Education for
the Texas Game, Fish and
Oyster Commission. By pro-
viding suflicient food snd cover
for birds, it has been found
they will increase appreciably
without the State resorting to
re-stocking.
The general plan of fenc-
ing areas ranging in szea from
one-quarter to five acres to
prevent stock-grazing the sec-
tion is being followed in the
majority of the counties in
which the quail restoration
projects are being carried on.
In the past the majority of
the areas in the experimental
project have proved highly
successful in quail raising snd
it is believed certain that most
of the projects now under way
will do a great-deal towards
restocking the birds in the va-
rious localities. The counties
in which the projects are be-
ing carried on are Guadalupe,
