that the cows at that time resident in
the county must be responsible for all
the cream used. If COW across the
border kindly sends over a little cream
there is a sort of a bar sinister on
the butter as bona fde production of
that particular subdivision of the state
Alameda is. for instance, quoted as
producing 100000 pounds of butter,
whereas in reality the combined efforts
of the Alameda cows can produce but
little over 100000 pounds. and even with
the outside cream but 1.40O, 600 pounds
can be mustered. or at least the reports
of the state dairying bureau say so.

Fresno Badly Treated

Fresno has been badly treated by
Filcher. who has proclaimed to so
much of the world as will read his re-
port that the county produced only
800. 900 pounds of butter during the
year. Over its signature one creamery
firm reported to the dairying bureau
that its output alone was over 1000,
600 pounds. The total for all the
Fresno creameries is just IL times what
the Agricultural society gave it credit
for. Fresno dairymen are furious over
this, it is said.
Napa, San Benito and Tulare are
credited with about half the amount
that they should have. and as for STAN
isIaus, which has devoted itself to
raising cows solely for the creamery
business for the last few years and
which is one of the leading dairying
counties of the state. it is credited
with less than Los Angeles
Statistics as to dairying and butter
making are easily obtained, it is de-

be accepted save. it is believed. in Ala

DAIRYMEN AFTER
FILCHER'S SCALP
Amazing Misinformation Con-
corning the Butter PrOduc-
ing Counties of State

More anguish has been caused by
the little book of misstatements issued
by Secretary ]. A. Filcher of the State
agricultural society. and he will doubt
the saying "as smooth as butter" when
he returns from Seattle and meets the
dairymen of the state.
They are up in arms at the remark
able information contained in FiIchers
annual report. which has so distorted
the faces and so misplaced the butter
producing areas of California that a
visiting creameryman would wander
far afield in his search for the true
center of the industry.
For some reason F'iIcher seems to
have had favorites which he has ex-
allied far beyond their due. while other
counties are writhing under the injus-
tice done them

General Demand

of the Well-Informed of the World has
always been for a simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy of known
value; laxative which physicians could
sanction for family use because its COM
ponent parts are known to them to be
wholesome and truly beneficial in effect,
acceptable to the system and gentle, yet
prompt, in action.
In supplying that demand with its ex-
cellent combination of Syrup of Figs and
Elixir of SIENNA, the California Fig Syrup
Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies
on the merits of the laxative for its remark
able success.
That is one of many reasons why

ganization had been violated in the
matter of playing games in the cities
represented in the Western league
circuit According to the rule but 22
games are permitted. In the case of
Lincoln and Wichita eleven games
are scheduled between the clubs In the
latter city but with eight in the for
mer. The arrangement falls short of
three games as outlined by the rules.
On the other hand the Sioux City
club is booked to play eleven games
at Wichita and the latter will play
fourteen at Sioux City. making a total
of twenty-five. At Lincoln the home
team is booked to play eight games
with Wichita and In return eleven at
Wichita. Another instance of over
selling the number of games to- he
played is in the case of I1incoln and
Topeka the formerNis set down for
fifteen games at home and ten at To-
peka, the result being twenty-five
games. The result likely will be a
rearrangement of the schedule if the
various magnates insist upon hav-
ing the rules lived up to the letter.
The American league will close it's
session tomorrow and the National
league will continue it's session until
Friday.
