RAISE TAX ROLL
OVER s61,000,000
COUNTY ASSESSOR RENDERS
REPORT
Big Increase in Property Values Does
Not Represent Full Increase in
Property Says Ben
Ward

The assessment list of Los Angeles
has been increased $61, 900, 900 during the
past year, according to the annual
statement delivered to the county board
of equalization yesterday by County
Assessor Ben Ward
For weeks the clerks of the assessors
office have been preparing the report,
but because of small mistake the
report, due a week ago, did not appear
until yesterday.
Following is the report made to the
hoard:
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1906-10-24

We saw in former article that the
difference in value of a carload of
good cattle and a carload of scrubs
at Chicago is about $500.
Taking this as true, and the market
reports show that it is true, we have
basis from which we can form some
idea as to our annual losses, because
we still stick to cold brindle.'' This,
of course is for each one of us to
figure on individually. know whether
I am raising scrubs or not, and you
know whether you are raising scrubs
or not, and each one of us can know,
if we will, how much we are losing by
keeping in the old rut.
A fear has been expressed that in
the process Of time, pure bred cattle
will be SO plentiful that they will sink
i'll price to level with common cattle.
No one need have any such fears. It
is we'll known fact that the better
the people become acquainted with fine
stock of any kind the greater they
appreciate it, and the more ready they
are to rate it according to it's value.
It is much easier to sell $500 bull to
one who knows the value of good stock
than to sell $50 bull to one who does
not know. And again, England and
Scotland are the birthplaces and
homes of Our improved cattle, and no
one ever heard of there being an over
supply Of fine cattle in these countries.
Upon the other hand, news reaches us
from across the waters that the drains
On the herds in both England and Scot
land are exceedingly heavy, and that
their supply will not be sufficient to
meet the demands So, if any reader
Of this article fears that there will be
an oversupply Of fine cattle in this
country in his lifetime, let him Danish
his fears. If we had one hundred times
as many as we now have, we would
not have too many.

Skinny Takes in a Cannery.

Do you ever buy any California cam
ned fruit? If so, you will no doubt be
interested in knowing something about
the conditions under which the fruit is
put up. The last California Fruit
Grower contained an article which is
written in humorous style, yet seems
to bear evidence of being a truthful
narrative of facts.
The description of California can
merry that Skinny sent home to his
folks, and as published in the Pioneer
Express of Pembina, N. D., strikes us
as such typical and accurate picture
Of cannery operation in this state as to
be well worthy of republication. 1t
ought to make good reading for some
OF the food inspectors and that part
OF the public not yet acquainted with
the methods in vogue in our canneries.
The letter follows:
Los Gatos, CAL, Aug. 81, A. Q. 1.
Lear folks: Say! Have you ever
been to Can Can? No, I mean
Cannery. I have. You see it was
just this way AS I am always looking
for experience anyhow, I went up to
Hayward where the big Hunt Bros
cannery is located. I chased myself
into the office and saws to a Young
dude on high stool, "Say, mister, do
you care if I go into the cannery and
rubber, if promise not to firt with the
glrls?' You'd ought to seen the icy
stare that dude turned on me. It frost
ed the cheek had next to him and the
cold mitt he handed out was too big
for the catcher of the home team.
Says he, 'I'm very sorry, young man,
but you see we are quite busy, and your

comes in lug boxes (ca1led so because
they lug the fruit around in then)
It is weighed up and in the case Of
peaches and plums, put through a
grader that sorts it out to nicely and
dumps it in boxes according to size,
when it is trucked in where the girls
are. The first set cuts the peach in two
and takes out the pit Then the pee1ers
go for them. It is all done by hand.
There is dead coolies Of fine fresh water
all over the building and they amt
afraid to use it, The fruit is then
washed thoroughly and packed by an
other set. They can slap those half
peaches into can quicker'n you can
say 'Jack Robinson" so they'll land
where they're wanted and have the top
pieces lock the other in. The empty
cans are brought to them and the full
ones carried away in iron basket trays
holding 20 cans. They are then taken
to the syrup machine where boy
turns a wheel and it squirts through
20 tubes about the size of goose-qui1l
and fills the whole bunch at once.
Then it is showed along to the cap
per- who puts on the caps and puts
each can in the soldering machine
The solderer does nothing but solder,
but he works overtime at it. was
shown one geezer that had soldered
the tops on 10000 cans in II hours
By the time the cans reach him they
are whir1ihg around like spinning top
and the caps are held in place. He
has soldering iron shaped like a G.
Washington Ratchet, and the solder
comes to him over his shoulder, in the
form of wire and all he has to do is
to hold the iron in the crease and
touch the wire to it and it's DONE
There is still little hole in the center
Of the cap. That's to let the steam out
These baskets Of cans are lowered in
to long. watts of boiling water by means
of an endless belt and when they get
to the other end, they've been in 4
minutes-just long enough They are
taken out and these holes soldered up
and that's where the bullet comes from
that you sometimes swear at when you
eat the fruit. Then they are doused in
another tank and cooked from
to 40 minutes, according to kind and
condition Of fruit
From here they go to the cooling
room and from there to the warehouse
and are packed in cases. Such, in

for the last ten years and I sort of
thought I'd like to see how they're
put up, but maybe you don't want
folks to know P'raps you can't stand
the X-rays turned on your business,
so it's all right Just then, the man
who tips off this dudes salary to him

When he couldn't stop with me any

1t wasn't very busy day after ALL
There we're only about $50 hands

and plums, and the way some of those

was certainly good for defective vision.

The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1906-10-24

Including the COW, this gives
us in five years the sum of $5O5. 90
If we deduct price of the COW, $500,
and deduct $155 for the cost of keeping
the cattle, which in my opinion is
reasonable, we have a net profit of
$3.50 in five years from a year1ing
heifer.
If any one of the fifty thousand
readers of The Southern Agricu1turist
will tell us of anything that will pay
better on farm than a herd of regis
tered cattle, as indicated by these
figures, will take it as a favor, and
will give him a chrome besides. I am
aware that some one will think that
the valuation fixed on the cattle men
toned is too high, but it is conserva-
t1ve-ln fact, too conservative A
glance at the reports Of the public
sales of breeding cattle anywhere in
the United States will show this to
be true. On the 7th day of the pres
ent month august, 19o6), at sale
held by w. H. Earles, at Milwaukee,
Wis, A head Of Shorthorns sold for
an average of $2O6 and on the 18th. at
a sale held by c. H. Gardner, at Gales
burg, ILL.,, 50 head of Aberdeen Angus
sold for an average of $2OOS0, and in
this sale it is said there was a lot of
plain cattle. On the 10Th there was
a sale Of A Shorthorns, at Osborn,
Mo-, at an average price of $17S5O,
and On the 10th there was a sale of so
head of Shorthorns at Des Moines,
la, at an average of $163. 70.
These reports are gathered by me at
random, and [ take it that the sales
mentioned are representatives, and
show in what esteem breeding cattle
are generally held in our country
They certainly show that the estimated
value of the cattle above mentioned
is exceedingly low, and that it is profit
able to raise good cattle.
There is a mystery to me- WHY it
is that Our farmers, and sometimes
our good farmers, too, will go on
raising scrub and scalawag stock, when
good stock is SO plentiful and when it
pays SO much better to raise it, I am
not able to understand. There was
time when the people Of the South
had some excuse for the dereliction
iii this line, but that time is passed.
The war impoverished them, but their
poverty, from that cause is now a
thing of the past, and is only remem-
bered as hideous dream. It is true
that the country, in the main, is in
fourlshing condition, but how much
greater would be our prosperity if Our
hillsldes, valleys and plains were dot
ted with pure bred live stock of every
kind.

The prices we realized for the calves
we sold were not fancy by any means,
but has Tulip paid? Let us use the
pencil little and see. You know I
am sticker for the pencil, but it is a
worthless article unless it is used, and
we will use it bit right now:
The first calf we sold brought
us 500; the second $50. $3.50. 90
The first heller and her calf are
worth at least. 125 90
The next heifer calf is not for

take 500 to buy her, and [
am sure she would bring it, 2
