Rancher's Success
Key: Cooperation
By NICHOLS FIELD WILSON
Pioneer New England ancestry and training gave to
Charles Collins Teague the character which has been basically
responsible Q for his long and useful career. He was born in
Caribou, Aroostook county, Me., in 1873, but he was destined
to spend by far the greater part of his active life in California.
tie was still a very young man
'hen he and his father came
to Santa Paula "to find employ,
anent" as Teague himself sue.
cintly puts it more than a half-
century later in his book "Fifty
Years a Rancher."
The first employment young
'Teague found in Santa Paula
was on the pioneer citrus
acreage of Nathan Weston
t31anehard--the job was that of
pruning wlndbreakstbe pay
was a dollar a day and board. Its
was promoted after a time, be-
coming foremhn of a gang of
Chinese lemon pickers.
The Santa Paula of today ts a
small but prosperhlg anti mod-
ern community. It is one of the
great trading centers of the
Santa Clara Valley of the South
and the surrounding country-
side pours forth prolific wealth
from otl wells, groves and farms.
What a change from I;anta

fornia,)
The citrus Indtistry was In Its
Infancy. Only a few groveg had
actually been planted and the
hardy souls who were experi-
menting thus were scoffed at by
"know-it.all" neighbors who as-
serted that citrus was not for
California. Teague refused to
share thts view.
Lemon Culture
He learned a great deal about
lemon culture from his work on
the Blanchard ranch and his
enthusiasm for citrus increased
in direct ratio to his knowledge.

he learned was that the fruit
must be handled to prevent the
slightest Injury . . . "as care-
fully as eggs." This. lesson of
his young manhood has become
a cardinal principle with Teague.
To it he attributes a large por-
tion of the success which has
attended his ever.broadening
operations.
His greatest contribution to
the welfare of the California
citrus and walnut Industries,
however, hag its roots in the les-
sons of h/s earliest childhood. -
Because he was one of a large
family group, he learned to co-
operatei Because circumstances
demanded family frugality and
strict discipline, he learned to
co-operate!
As the year passed by, each

den of responsibilities, Tfagne
employed the prlcelesn prin-
ciple of eo-operation with far-
reaching effect. It has been his
fight, almost alone at times,
to bring order out of chaos; to
provide organized channels of
marketing , packing, shipping,
grading, financing and pro-
ceasing methods that have
proved so eminently success-
ful that It Is Impossible to
calculate the sum total of their
effect in Increased wealth.

ot buihl it with their own
money; they did not have that
much. Rockefeller Foundations
provided the money, $6,550,000,
because the Observatory would
benefit mankind.
"With all the publicity thut was
fed to a spectacle-hungry public,
with the great camera itself only
a short drive from Los Angeles,
it was a certainty that there'd
be an uproar if the public were
kept away. The quiet men do
llot like an uproar any better
than they like someone peeking
over their shoulders, so they
compromise. They say, "Come,
but we draw the line here."
,MONASTERY -ATMOSPHERE
So you drive up there, for the
most part in high gear, and you
park ... a cripple's hike from
the great dome and all the
other people taking pictures. It's
all holiday until you pass
through the front door Into an
entranceway commanded by the
sedate and scholarly bust of Dr.
George Hale. A monastery atmos-
phere catches you. No matter
who you are you walk softly and
you talk quietly the way you do
in a hospital corridor. For a new
structure It is almost hallowed.
You climb the stairs and come in-
to a long visitors' room; and since
the quiet men do not want any
levers pushed or any initials
scratched on the glass giant,
this Is as far as you go.
It's a cold room, cold In fur.
nishing and in temperature.
Nothing Coney Island here. No
pop-corn vendors, no peddlers
selling you streamers for your
car or burls of Palomar coni-
fers, no put-ln-a-nlckel-and.muslc
comes-out machines. But down
there, shielded from you by
thick sheets of thermal glass, Is
a vast clinical room. In It sits
The Thing. You've heard of it
a thousand times and you've
seen half as many pictures, but
you're still surprised; and you'd
be more surprised if you could
see in there some commonplace
thing, such as a man or a broom,
to give your eye a measuring shut, when the last pedal-
stick. Reel out your adjectives, pushered tourist has put away
if you likemassive, eollossal, her sun glasses and skin oil,
PALOMAR OBSERVATORY
want to peek through the great
telescope in the second place.
REAL FUNCTION OF GLASS
Bflt this is an age of specializa-
tion and you could not run your
store, plant your sugar beets
or sell your gasoline and still in
your lifetime see and interpret
1000th of what those most cu-
rious of all people, the quiet
specialists of Palomar, can see
and explain to us.
So, when the last car has
ground down the Palomar mile
in second gear, when the last
camera shutter has whispered
then the silence takes over Palo-
mar, and the darkness, and the
night birds and the quiet cu-
rious,men. Then the real func-
tion of the glass begins. The
very heat left by your body in
the great visitors' room is
sucked out and the night air is
pumped into the great dome to
balance the temperature between
the million pounds of glass and
steel and the cold night air.
The monastery becomes a work-
shop where a particular kind of
specialist stands before a peep-
hole to the secrets of the uni-
incredible, lntrlcateit doesn't
matter. The men who might re-
sent your superlatives are not
there; The Thing is asleep, the
only condition most people will
see It in.
137-FOOT CAP REVOLVES
You will not feel the great 137.
foot cap revolvesilently on its
tracks, nor will you likely see
the great eyelid In t he top
open up to the sky. Most certain
of all, you will not be allowed
to peek through a slot and see
th6 moon 30 miles away, be-
cause the glass does not perform
thit function, and it works only
at night, and you will not be
there at night.
What, then, do we get for the
$6,550,000 spent there?
Satisfaction. x, Ve get satisfac-
tlon to our curiosity, one of the
three greatest cravings of man.
The other two are food and sex.
Since early man could satisfy
those two in the tree tops it
was probably the first, curiosity,
that brought him down out of
the trees. To satisfy that curious
gnawing he had to walk on the
ground,, he had to eross rivers,
to go over hills and out on to
the dangerous*plains. Curiosity
spread primitive man around
the globe. Curiosity brought the
Nina, the Pinta and the Santa
Maria to the new world. And
notwithstanding all we know
of the prod of commerce it was
curiosity that whipped the
wagon teams westward across
America. You have plenty of it
