SCALE GETTING SCARCER. Farmers' Club Hears Report that Red Scale Is Well-Nigh Exterminated. The Farmers' club held its monthly meeting at the residence of Mrs. Strodthoff on Monday afternoon, when a numerous attendance of members were present. Chairman Fay reported that in the matter of soliciting funds for defraying the expenses of the Farmers' Institute, to be held here on Sept. 11th and 12th, the committee had been quite successful in getting all that was required during one afternoon. The committee had enjoyed the service very much; there were no kickers; everybody was pleasant, and the committee had some fun by the way. Enough was secured to pay all the expenses of the Institute. The thanks of the club were tendered the committee for their services. The matter of the cracking of Burbank plums, as brought to the club's notice by the question box at its last meeting, was passed on account of the absence of Mr. Rea and Mr. Hunter, to whom the matter had been referred for investigation and report. The opinion of the club was, however, that the cracking was due to local causes, as reports had been received from several growers that plums in their orchards were all right. The chair called up the question of the black patches on walnut trees, as discussed at the last meeting. John Eymann, who was initiated into the mysteries of club membership, was of opinion that the black spots were caused mainly by neglect of the trees and lack of irrigation. The chale—But when trees are not under those conditions, how do you account for the disease in them? He knew of one tree, which had been carefully cultivated and irrigated, from which the nuts had all fallen off. On motion of Mr. Rogers, the question was referred to Prof. N. B. Pierce, the government entomologist stationed at Santa Ana, and an invitation was extended to him to address the club upon the subject at its next meeting. Prof. Pierce has made a careful study of the subject for some years past, and it is expected that he will have some important information for the members. Mr. Rogers asked whether late irrigation of walnut trees, which was practiced by many growers as assistance to the cracking of the outer shell of the nut, would be carried out by said Napoleon Hart." BARR CASE GOES OVER. Will Probably Come Up Before Judge Shanley One Day Next Week. The case of the People vs. Napoleon Hart, a suit brought at the instance of Erwin Barr, who seeks to restrain Hart from "killing and murdering" him, did not come up before Judge Shanley on Tuesday as had been expected, the attorneys interested in the case being unable to agree upon that day, their other business interfering. Mr. Chynoweth for the defense, and District Attorney Williams have been in consultation but have not as yet selected a date for the trial of the case, and possibly it will not be brought to trial before next week. The case is the outgrowth of a bit of fatherly advice given Barr by Hart, as a result of paragraphs printed in the Plain Dealer, which is Barr's newspaper, concerning him, and to which he (Hart) took exceptions. The talking-to occurred in Miller & Nagel's hardware store, where Hart went to pay a bill, Barr following him in a few minutes later. When Hart accused Barr of carrying matter to the Plain Dealer, the latter is said to have denied it, when he was warned that on a repetition of the offense he would be punished for it. Hart avers that Barr made a pass if to draw a revolver from his hip pocket, when Hart told him he was too cowardly to draw it, adding that if he did, it would entail a bad quarter of an hour for Barr. Barr consulted his partner in the publication of the Plain Dealer, E. P. Fowler, whose record in the co-operative sugar factory is an open book to our readers, and both drove over Santa Ana to confer with the District Attorney relative to the arrest of Hart. After hearing Barr's side of the case, District Attorney Williams expressed the opinion that the only thing that could be done in the case was to place Hart under bonds to preserve the peace. The complaint sets forth the following: "Personally appeared before me this 23rd day of August, 1899. Erwin Barr, who, being first duly sworn, deposes and says: That Napoleon Hart, on or about the 21st day of August, 1899 at and within the said county of Orange State of California, did willfully and unlawfully, threaten to kill and murder this complainant, and at the same time and place said that he, Napoleon Hart, would kill the said Erwin Barr; that complainant, Erwin Barr, believes that the said Napoleon Hart will carry said threat into execution, and that the said Erwin Barr has just cause to fear the said threats will be carried into execution by said Napoleon Hart." Hart avers there exists no ground for this complaint, and he will resist the charge vigorously. He has retained counsel and proposes to go to the botten Martin Herring's house during the run of the factory, where he is working. Juan Quinnones and family returned from Oxnard on Monday. O. S. Devoe and family have moved to Bolsa Chica bay, where he is working for the gun club. He has charge of the work in progress there. The gun club is grading roads. He hauled a carload of sewer pipe down to the sewer from the clubhouse to the ocean (one-half mile). When his team was here on Tuesday he was reported to be in bed sick. Los Alamitos, Aug. 30, 1899. TOM COOK PASSES ON. Shot by His Wife with the Same Pistol with Which He Killed Griggsby Last October. Tom Cook, the so-called "terror of the Peatlands," was shot and instantly killed by his wife, Kate Pope Cook, between the hours of 3 and 4 o'clock on Monday morning. He lay asleep, at time of the killing, in an upper room of his residence, a short distance southwest of Westminster. The revolver was the same with which Cook killed Jasper Griggsby last October, in the roadway a mile southwest of his house. Cook was apparently a quiet and peaceable citizen, mild of speech, and to a stranger hospitable and generous to a degree; but his reputation as an expert gun fighter made him feared by those who knew him. He played fast and loose with women, and this caused his ultimate undoing. His wife had quarreled with him on Sunday evening, reproaching him for his relations to the servant girl, Mabel Moody, whom Cook is said to have seduced on the occasion of her advent into his family some three weeks ago. Cook was not slow to follow up his advantage with the simple-minded girl. On Sunday evening his wife spoke to him of his conduct, when he replied to her harshly, biding her go elsewhere if his conduct didn't suit her. Mrs. Cook retired, and Cook lay down on a mattress on the floor in an adjoining room. After lying an hour he arose and went into the room occupied by Mabel Moody, an open door leading into her apartments. Mrs. Cook was awake, and through the thin partition heard the goings-on between her erring husband and his paramour. Cook remained with Mabel several hours, his distracted wife weeping and bordering upon hysterics while. In the early morning hours took awakened and went to his mate On motion of Mr. Rogers, the question was referred to Prof. N. B. Pierce, the government entomologist stationed at Santa Ana, and an invitation extended to him to address the club upon the subject at its next meeting. Prof. Pierce has made a careful study of the subject for some years past, and it is expected that he will have some important information for the members. Mr. Rogers asked whether late irrigation of walnut trees, which was practiced by many growers as assistance to the cracking of the outer shell of the nut, was beneficial to the nut as well. Mrs. Strothoff said her rule was not to practice late irrigation. The chair observed that the experience of many nut growers with whom he had been in consultation was to give the trees a late irrigation. Mr. McDermont of Fullerton had recently told him that he was going to irrigate his trees the 1st of September, and that other growers would do the same. Mr. Dauser was of opinion that late irrigation hurts the trees; it starts the new growth, which later dies and produces dry branches. He never irrigated his trees later than July 4th. The chair argued from the position that if walnut trees had been sufficiently irrigated during the year, a late irrigation in September would not start the new growth. It was only where trees had been neglected that new growth was started by late irrigation. He believed in abundant irrigation. One tree on his place that gets water every day in the year, and every hour of the day, is the best looking tree on the place. The trees on the Sparks place, on the Fairview road, which are irrigated late and early, he regarded as among the best looking in the county. The Secretary reported that he had received a telephone message from Secretary Goodwin of the Southern California Pomological society, who was expected to be present to arrange for the program for the meeting of the society here in November, stating that on account of the serious sickness of his wife it was impossible for him to be present. Mr. Goodwin desired that the usual committees be appointed, and that he would be in Anaheim to confer with them at any time selected by them. The President and Secretary were delegated authority to select the committees, and to confer with Mr. Goodwin for the purposes designated. Mr. Schneider, speaking in reply to a question relative to fumigation for scale, said that fumigation for black scale was appropriate at any time after Aug. 15th, and from that time on until November. It all depends, however. In some years it is easy to kill the scale the 1st of August; in other seasons it is necessary to fumigate later, owing to the lateness in the hatching of the scale. At Tustin the growers fumigate effectively as late as February or March. Difference in soil and local conditions conduce to the hatching of the scale at a later date. In November hereabout the scale were pretty well set; effective work in their destruction could be done in September or October, or as early as August. Black scale was prevalent, but was yielding to fumigation; as to red scale, there was not 10 per cent as many as two years ago. He noticed that an occasional patch of white scale appeared here and there, and was at a loss to account for its appearance, but the pest yield immediately to the rediaia. There was little purple scale about, being confined to two or three orchards, and these were being fumigated. This pest is slow to opinion that the only thing that can be done in the case was to place Hart under bonds to preserve the peace. The complaint sets forth the following: "Personally appeared before me this 23rd day of August, 1899, Erwin Barr, who, being first duly sworn, deposes and says: That Napoleon Hart, on or about the 21st day of August, 1899, at and within the said county of Orange, State of California, did unwilfully threaten this trial and at the same time and while that he, Napoleon Hart, would kill the said Erwin Barr; that complainant, Erwin Barr, believes that the said Napoleon Hart will carry said threat into execution, and that the said Erwin Barr has just cause to fear the said threats will be carried into execution by said Napoleon Hart." Hart avers there exists no ground for this complaint, and he will resist the charge vigorously. He has retained counsel, and proposes to go to the bottom of the case. He will also bring a suit for damages against Barr for charging him with the intention to commit murder. The case was to have come up for trial on Tuesday before Judge Shanley, but probably the date of the case will not be determined until Mr. Chynoweth comes down from Los Angeles on Saturday, when he will confer again with the District Attorney and fix an early day for the hearing. The Santa Ana Herald, speaking of Barr's trip to the District Attorney's office, says: Yesterday Erwin Barr of Anaheim came over to the county seat to consult the District Attorney, and Napoleon Hart also came to consult some dispenser of legal advice. It seems that Mr. Hart used some strong language at Mr. Bart recently and threatened ed to end his peaceful career on earth, same other disagreeable features of the conversation. Mr Barr naturally did not relish the idea of being plucked from the Anaheim bouquet of living pictures of health, and therefore came over to seethe could be done to preserve his body and mental comfort. Just that Mr Hart came for we are able to say, but the chances are that may be placed under bonds to keep the peace. District Attorney Williams decided there was not sufficient grounds upon which to issue a warrant for his arrest upon any other proceeding. PLACENTIA.

Cook is said to have offered her a base indignity, sufficient effectively as late as February or March. Difference in soil and local conditions conduce to the batching of the scale at a later date. In November hereabout the scale were pretty well set; effective work in their destruction could be done in September or October, or as early as August. Black scale was prevalent, but was yielding to fumigation; as to red scale, there was not 10 per cent as many as two years ago. He noticed that an occasional patch of white scale appeared here and there, and was at a loss to account for its appearance, but the pest yielded immediately to the redalia. There was little purple scale about, being confined to two or three orchards, and these were being fumigated. This pest is slow to spread. Purple scale in one orchard had been entirely exterminated by fumigation, and he was satisfied he could wipe out the pest in two or three years with fumigation. Two orchards having the pest had skipped fumigation last year, but would this year be fumigated. The chair gave the club, in response to questions, figures on fertilizer, showing that members of the fruit associations could purchase fertilizer at a reduction of 30 per cent from jobbers' prices. Much of the fertilizer comes from Germany and Belgium, and a ship laden with 100 tons of it was on its way to arrive at San Diego shortly. Provided a sufficient number of growers could be induced to purchase it, the entire cargo will be obtained at especially advantageous figures. The club discussed various other matters, and Mrs. Strodthoff and her daughter, Miss Adela, served refreshments of ice cream and cake. At the invitation of J. J. Schneider the club voted to hold its next meeting at his residence the last Monday in September. The thanks of the club were voted the hostess for the courtesies of the occasion, and the club adjourned. Found.

The Los Angeles Express of Monday evening contains the following: Arthur F. Halpin, the war-worn veteran among the officers of the Seventh Regiment, has been appointed captain in the Thirty-fifth United States Volunteers, now organizing at Vancouver barracks, and left Saturday evening under orders from the War Department, to take command of the company.

It is not an uncommon sight at Westminster to see corn, potatoes, melons and pumpkins all growing in one field, and prodigious crops are gathered of each.
