SANTA ANA.

to know that the farmers and fruitgrow-
ers of Orange county are organizing for
self-protection. We now have Orange
County Walnut Growers associations,
Orange County Orange Growers associs-
tions and Fruit Growers associations
distributed throughout the county. All
of these organizations have been formed
within the past six or eight months, and
the results in some instances are very
apparent for good. 1t stands the pro-
ducing population of the country in hand
to band together for mutual protection,
and while this Is being done they should
not forget that to procure trst-class
prices for their products they must put
them Oh the market in first-class shape.
That should be one Of the cardinal prin-
ciples OF these organizations.
IRRIGATION MATTERS.
Next Tuesday is the day set for the
election of directors by the Santa Ana
Valley Irrigation company. This is,
perhaps, one of the most important elec-
tions to the people OF this valley that
has been held for some time past, and
every stockholder should be present and
cast his vote for men who have the in
terest of the entire valley at stake.
Water properly distributed is what this
county must have to insure prosperity.
