Refinery-Notes.
SANTA ANA, Nov. 3.-Since the late
rains vegetation Ia springing up, and it
will be but few days till mother earth
will clothe herself in emerald. The
barley that was sown dry and the volun-
teer grain has already covered the
ground. Stockmen in the hills are
highly elated over the prospect OF an
abundance of early feed.
HOW TO LIVE ON TEN ACRES.
In the early history of the settlement
OF the Santa Ana valley, the question
was often discussed as to whether q
living could be made for small family
on 10 acres of good land in this valley,
That problem seemed to have been set
tied to the satisfaction of everybody
who has lived here any length of time.
It has been settled in practical way in
many instances by actual residents, and
OF late years the 10-acre question has
been shelved and the work of demon
strating that the same thing can be
accomplished on five acres or less has
been pushed to an affirmative con-
clusion.
At the meeting of the Pathological So
ciety and the California Farmers insti-
tute that has been in session at Ontario
this week, d. Edison Smith of this city
gave his experience on 10 acres in this
valley. Mr.. Smith has not only made q
living on his 10 acres but has accumu-
lated money besides.
SUGAR REFINERY.
The Anaheim Gazette is pulling hard
for the establishment of beet sugar re-
finery at or near Anaheim. There is
much logic il the Gazette's reasoning,
and if our neighbors find it profitable to
raise beets and ship them to Chino they
will find it much more so If they have q
factory at home to consume their pro.
ducts.
The Gazette says: Messrs. Fowler and
Captain have just closed deal for the
purchase of 500 acres of land west of
town to be decided in to the refinery for
beet culture next year. They had the
tract selected. and we're rather quick
about getting it, too; but when they
came to buy it they found some enter
prising newcomer had already bought
60 acres of it, and they took another so
acres to make up the 500. For this new
land they pay $4,000. and the transfers
are now being made out. Latest ac-
counts are to the effect that $25, 900 OF
the refinery bonds have been placed in
Los Angeles the last 10 days. Several
Thousand dollars OF the bonds have been
placed in town, also, and thus the good
work goes on.
The total tonnage Of beets delivered
at Chino during these months (net
weight) was 5495 tons, amounting to
$27, ,590.26. Average per cent of sugar
for the two months, 16 per cent, or SIS. 10
per ton. The amount paid for freight,
at rs cents per ton, amounted to $4122.5l,
and the amount paid for handling at
Anaheim, s824.50. leaving net amount
paid to farmers at Chino of $22, ,643.25.
Here is the contrast: If the same
amount of beets had been delivered to
the Anaheim Cooperative Beet Sugar
company, as provided in their by-laws,
the net weight being 5496 tons, and the
same average being taken, 16 per cent,
or S. per ton, these beetB would have
given $32, 1915. Add to this the freight
and expense, 80 cents per ton, $4947 81,
as paid in shipping to Chino, and we
have total of $37 ,923.01, showing a
difference in favor of the Anaheim re-
