The full reports of the agricultural condition of the State, which were published in these columns last week, indicated results that had been foreshadowed some time previously. It has been one of the wettest winters ever known in California. That of '61-62 was not diminilar. The ground is still full of water in a large portion of the State. Much heavy land along the coast has not been plowed. In some instances orchards have been planted without plowing the ground. The trees were set, and the owners waited for the ground to dry out so that it could be cultivated. That condition was only applicable to the coast counties. In what COTTONY CUSHION SCALE. The following is an extract from the "Historical Sketch of the Rise and Downfall of the Cottony Cushion Scale," written by George Rine, Quarantine Officer of the State Board of Horticulture: But for the timely arrest and practical examination of the cottony cushion scale, the final results of its devastation would have been invaluable. The story of its destructiveness in too fresh in the minds of all to be repeated at this time. The damage caused by its ravages amounted to millions of dollars, and the violent hends predicted that unless some sure cure or preventative should be secured, the time was not far distant when our beautiful and fruitful orchards would become barley fields, and the old time business of pasturing the lands with sheep and cattle would soon return. Not only this wholesale destruction of our orchards, but the desolation of the beautiful yards, gardens and parks for which California is so famous, would follow; but let us not contemplate what might have been, but congratulate ourselves on the present happy condition of our homes, surrounded with the orange, lemon, yine, abrube and rose, and, in our congratulations, let us not forget the gratitude we owe to those who, by their persistent endeavors, by their trained and scientific knowledge, made it possible for us to-day to say, "this curse has passed by and we are thankful." It may be of interest to many to read a very brief history of the rise and downfall of this worst of pests, the cottony cushion scale. Besides, it is well to record some of its history while it is fresh in our minds, and if any mistakes are made they can be corrected. The cottony cushion scale (Icerya purchasi) undoubtedly originated in the acacia forests of Australia, where it seems to make its home. The first authentic date I can find Congress had, how an exhibit to be applauding this California opportunity, and that J. De Burgh is the owner of her were badly inflicted scales, had interrupted I wrote him as Mr. Shorb replied. HOW I SAY GAZETTE. MR. GRO.

The one fact brought out by the reports of the reduced acreage devoted to cereals in the coast counties, should be supplemented by the statement that the shortage of agricultural products will be made up of a considerable extent of cereals such as barley and oats, with some wheat for hay crop. In an extremely wet season the coast counties do not reach the maximum of productiveness. Forty and fifty inches of rain are too much for these counties. Yet there are many careful observers who are quite content with this excessive moisture. They point to the fact that last year the fruit trees, and even the deciduous shade trees, made very little growth. In some instances the fruit trees hardly made more than two or three inches of new wood, and at the close of the season the tops of many of the trees appeared in a dying condition. Most of these trees have revived and are now giving evidences of full crops of fruit. Indeed, the fruit crop, both along the coast and in the interior valleys, promises to be one of the largest ever known in the State. This theory is supported by the reports already published. The season is late, and, of course, the fruit, including the grapes, is not out of the way of late frosts. It is anticipated, as an inference from the long wet winter, that there will be a cool spring, with late rains carried well along toward the early summer months. Late frosts are more common in such a season. It appears further, from the reports, that any shortage in cereals in the coast counties will be made up by the larger crops promised in the interior valleys, especially in the great valley of the San Joaquin. There has been just about rain enough over all this valley to insure the largest crops of wheat and other cereals. The driest part of the valley is on the west side. Hardly more than two good crops in five years are produced in that section without irrigation; and the latter is not in the use there for the production of cereals. The largest acreage every sown to wheat in that valley was the natural result of a season when the rains were abundant and not to excessive as to prevent the cultivation of all the land designed for cereals. Putting all the facts together the prediction is warranted that the aggregate agricultural productivity of the State may exceed rather than fall short of last year. It will be remembered that some of the early expectations last year, especially about the ex-tion of the State, which were published in these columns last week, indicated results that had been forehadowed some time previously. It has been one of the wettest winters ever known in California. That of 61 62 was not diminilar. The ground is still full of water in a large portion of the State. Much heavy land along the coast has not been plowed. In some instances orchards have been planted without plowing the ground. The trees were set, and the owners waited for the ground to dry out so that it could be cultivated. That condition was only applicable to the coast counties. In what is known as the "moist belt" the acreage in cereals averages about one-third less than last year, simply because after the rains set in the land could not be put in order for sowing. Then it appears that a considerable breadth of early-sown grain in the coast counties has been drowned out. The standing water has been too much for the grain. But in many of these instances, where early-sown cereals have failed, farmers have taken advantages of the late spring to sow barley and oats, and to seed the latter largely for hay. There will be an unusually large crop of the latter in all the coast counties. The one fact brought out by the reports of the reduced acreage devoted to cereals in the coast counties, should be supplemented by the statement that the shortage of agricultural products will be made up of a considerable extent of cereals such as barley and oats, with some wheat for hay crop.

ANOTHER ORANGE Pest. The Panadena correspondent at the Los Angeles Tribune, thus speaks of a new orange pest that has been introduced into that city: Purple scale has been found at Henry Elim's place in the northwest corner of the city, on two trees imported recently from Florida and sold in Los Angeles. The scale is of a pearly, purplish laster, and in shape resembles an oyster shell. The fall-grown scale is about the size of a small grain of wheat. Any one finding this scale or anything resembling it, should at once consult Charles H. Richardson, the resident agent of the Commission, and it will be looked into. Examine your orange tree and do all in your power to prevent the spread of this sooarge, which is worse than the whites or red scalc. ROBERT MIRRORING.

It was introduced into Los Angeles by Thomas A. Garey, and in Santa Barbara by W. W. Stow, on trees received from Menlo Park, in 1878, about ten years after its first introduction into the State. In the southern part of the State the scale found a congenial home in the mild climate, among the orange groves, and thrived and multiplied and sank out on it work of devastation, which soon proved to be worse than if a destructive fire had swept over this country. It was three years after its introduction in the Garey orchard, on Alameda street, Los Angeles, before it put in appearance in the beautiful San Gabriel valley, where it was taken on a potted plant by Mrs McGregory. From the city and the valley it soon spread over hundreds of acres of orchards and gardens in Los Angeles county, and it seemed as if citrus culture was doomed. THE DOWNFALL. An era of soap, caustic, kerosene, and poisona, made up into a thousand different cure-alls, ensued; in fact, almost every orchardist had a so called remedy of his own, most all of which really did more harm than good, but "the good time coming, long on the way," was when her ladyship, the Australian ladybug (Vedalia Cardinalis), came to our rescue. It was Alexander Craw, who, as early as 1880, first suggested that there must be a parasite where this terrible scale came from in Australia, to keep it in check, else the groves of that country would have been destroyed. In 1891 we and recorded in the proceedings of the State Board of Horticulture a discussion by its members, on the subject of searing and propagating parasites or beneficial insects. Felix Gillett, one of its members, advocated the propagation and importation of parasites. The board fully recognized the importance of the subject, kept persistently as work to secure a parasite for the cottony cannage scale. They petitioned the Department of Agriculture, municipalized Congress, passed resolutions at each and every Fruit Grower's Convention, corresponded with officials and orchardists in all parts of the world, and kept up fight until their efforts were rewarded with success. All efforts to secure help from the Department of Agriculture, Washington failed because the Department was not authorized to spend the money, appropriated for that Department, to send a man to Australia, even after we had positive information that there was a parasite waiting for us that would, as he said, check the ravages of the cottony cannage angle if we would only go and get it. All efforts to secure an appropriation from Congress that was allowed that it could be used in sending a man outside the United States. Thus the one showed late in 1897 shipped several colony larvae.

Price greatly radi Dental Parters, San A common opinion is that we plough the ground in order to make a bed of loam mold in which the roots can spread and feed with ease, thus promoting growth; while at the same time destroying other competitive growth, or making it easier to destroy it. The last of these reasons should be put first, for it is, by all odds, the main reason for using the plough. It is common to find plants and trees and even vines of all sorts growing with the finest health and vigor on soil never stirred at all, if there is fertility enough; and if, by a mulch of other means, the plant is protected by competition by other plants, and has room enough all to itself for its full development. Cattle are apt to destroy such specimens in the fields, but in the garden we find hardy flowers that have needed themselves in the fall on the hard ground, if left alone, make better and stronger plants than any we get by sowing on worked ground in the spring. I have repeatedly, on receiving two or three plants of some new strawberry, early in the spring, put the roots into a hollow in some fall-worked bed, too wet to work at the time, and covered each with a fireshovelful of dry mold or sand, and these have always excelled those planted later on mellowed soil. A large strawberry grower in the West lately stated a similar experience on a larger scale. I have planted onions and lettuce seed similarly on fall-prepared ground with excellent result. The Tribune not long since contained an account of an enormous melon grown by the first professor of botany at the Pennsylvania Agricultural College, on a piece of sod which was never stirred at all, nor hoed—the only culture being giving with a shovel, used only to scatter round the hill a thick, wide mulch of chipmold. An another case of corn brought into a garden by the Johnatown flood, germinating in the inch of mud left on an old strawberry bed, and being thinned and protected from weeds, etc., made perfect and unusually productive growth. This is on a small scale, an example of the mode of culture common on the Nile, and indeed Immediately acting on the suggestion, he telegrammed on to Secretary Bayard, using my name, as he told me, as authority for the value of the parasite, and asking for the appointment of the entomologist. Mr. Bayard replied, expressing his willingness to make the appointment, but regretted that there was no appropriation available to meet the necessary expenses. Mr. McCoppin, replying offered, very generously, to devote two thousand ($2,000) dollars of the appropriation made to meet the expense of the United State Commission to Melbourne (and which was entirely under his control), and the entomologist was duly sent and did his work admirably. Vedalia cardinalia arrived in good condition, were placed in careful hands, and by the same generally distributed throughout the State, while the result now known far and wide. The cottony cushion scale is a thing of the past. We find in the official records at Washington, that Mr. Coppin had done as suggested in the above correspondence. G. L. Rives, Assistant Secretary of State, communicated the facts to the Hon. N. J. Coleman, Commissioner of Agriculture, "requesting him to detail Professor Riley and his assistants to be sent to Australia at the expense of the Commission." This it would seem, should settle the question as to how the money, the most necessary part of the accomplishment of the end, was provided, unless we give the preponderance of credit to the keen-sighted and trained entomologist, Albert Koebele. That Mr. McCoppin opened the way to secure the final result, and that to him the honor belongs of finally reporting to the General Government the discovery and importation of this most wonderful little ladybird, the Vedalia cardinalia, is a settled fact. THE FINAL RESULT. We had heard that there was a parasite in Australia that had almost entirely exterminated the cottony cushion scale, and it was to get these parasites that Mr. Koebele was sent to Australia. The parasite was known as the Lestophonea, a minute fly that punctured the scale, laid its egg, which hatched out into a grub that made its meal of the scale, changed into a fly, to again repeat its work. Albert Koebele left San Francisco for Australia August 20, 1888, and arrived at his destination in due season. He immediately sent a supply of the Lestophonea to this country, which were duly taken care of their arrival. In the meantime Mr. Koebele went to thoroughly investigate the scales, their parasites and their workings, and was not long in discovering what our Australian friends had not done, that the "boom" scale destroyer was an entirely different kind of a parasite. It was the ladybird, the Vedalia cardinalia, he found to be the principal enemy of the cottony cushion scale, and he was not long in dropping Mr. Fly and making acquaintance of her ladyship, Miss Vedalia cardinalia. He captured and shipped several colonies of beetles and their larvae. The first importation reached here November 30, another December 29, 1888, and still another January, 24, 1889. These colonies were sent to the Wolfskill orchard, in Los Angeles, and Dobbins' and Chapman's orchards, at San Gabriel, under the care of Professor D. W. Coquillett, of the Entomological Staff, Department of Agriculture. They soon multiplied and increased something after the form of a geometrical progression. Mr. Wolfskill and his foreman, Mr. Alexander Crawl, who knew all the time "that there must be such an enemy in Australia," together with Professor Coquillett, distributed thousands to the anxious orchardists, who bearing of their wonderful work. The Tribune not long since contained an account of an enormous melon grown by the first professor of botany at the Pennsylvania Agricultural College, on a piece of sod which was never attired at all, nor hoed—the only culture being giving with a shovel, used only to scatter round the hill a thick, wide mulch of chipmold. An another case of corn brought into a garden by the Johnstown flood, germinating in the inch of mud left on an old strawberry bed, and being thinned and protected from weeds, etc., made perfect and unusually productive growth. This is on a small scale, an example of the mode of culture common on the Nile, and indeed in most parts of Africa and Asia, where simply scratching the soil with a pointed block of wood often produced better yield with less manuring than we get by our assistance and often overdone employment of the ploughs we take such pride in, but which are undoubtedly a means of greatly hastening the ruin of the soil and of the farmer, when used injudiciously; especially when the operation buries the rich surface deep, under a mass of raw subsoln, or when the stirred soil is not sufficiently reconstituted by dragging or rolling to make it a safe bed for the tender roots of newly germinated plants, while the surface, left on or near the surface, remains free and open because it is chiefly humus, which does not consolidate or compact like the loam or clay beneath it. We want the plough, then, not so much to make an open bed for the roots of plants, as to sweep out of their way in the speediest and completeest way, the prior occupants of the soil, which being established there would leave no room or chance for our crop and must therefore necessarily be extirpated. Experience has taught the emigrants to the West, who have been obliged to search out the surreal and cheapest way of annihilating the prairie sod and growing corn at once in its place, that a very shallow paring off and reversal of the entire surface, which then remains on the surface is the way to succeed in both aims. And the same principle applies in preparing sod-ground anywhere for corn or wheat. As a means of retaining the indispensable water longer,the soil should be well loosened up under this surface,and the ideal plough for such a field is one that will both pare and reverse the carbonaceous surface soil,and sacrifice the soil below at one operation—a roller following.-W.

Mr. Wolfskill and his foreman, Mr. Alexander Craw, who knew all the time that there must be such an enemy in Australia," together with Professor Coquillett, distributed thousands to the anxious orchardists, who, bearing of their wonderful work, flocked in to get them. The same work was going on at the ranches of Colonel J. R. Dobbins, at San Gabriel, where the Colonel and his help gave their entire time to making up and distributing colonies to all who came for them, and they came from far and near. While the good work of the Vetalia was going on in Southern California, the little ladybug was distributed by the State Board of Horticulture throughout Central and Northern California, wherever an orchard, garden, or shrub was known to be infected with cottony cushion scale. By December 1, 1889, the work of terminating the cottony cushion scale was practically accomplished. The money value of this Vetalia to the orange growers of this State has been incalculable. The saving of the orchards already inflicted, the protecting of the others that were sure to be blighted by this terrible cause, to say nothing of perpetrating an industry that it seems will be the king of all our horticultural pursuits, is simply grand, and cannot be estimated in the usual dollar and cent tax. In this connection we think it proper and just that some fitting memorial should be presented to Mr. Albert Koeeble, who came near sacrificing his life in his search of this ladybug, and its introduction into this country. Nothing could be more appropriate than the raising of any not less than $2,500 with which to buy a neat cottage in Alameda, the home of Mr. Koeeble, and present it to him and his attendant wife, as a small testimony of our gratitude. I am sure that the subject needs only to be mentioned to most with a hearty indemnity. At the Fruit Grower's Convention, assembled in Los Angeles, a result time was passed requesting all persons who demanded to contribute any sum towards purchasing a suitable memorial to be presented to Mr. Koeeble, to forward the name to the Secretary State Board of Horticulture, 220 Sutter Street, San Francisco.

In a corner of the window recess, just opposite the Chancellor's seat, stands a bureau, above which hangs the Emperor's portrait. At the other end of the room, where the light of the windows does not well penetrate, are several couches and chairs, in which Bismarck loves to rest, with a pipe in his mouth and deep thought on his earnest brow.
