People Thought He Had a Fit When He Fell Prone in Miller & Nagel's Store. Passers-by on the sidewalk in front of Miller & Nagel's last Thursday evening shortly after 7 o'clock were startled at a crash in the establishment, and looking in were amused to see Grafter Barr floundering about on the floor. His hat lay upon the floor near where he lay stretched out full length, and his cane lay some distance away. He had fallen from one of the low shelves. upon which he had been perched for some time. The shelf broke under the weight of the bi-horned amphibious Bovolopus, and the Grafter measured his full length upon the floor. Folks on the sidewalk said that Barr must have had a fit, or had become dizzy and had fallen. Barr arose with an effort, picked up his hat and cane, and strode out of the place to E. B. Merritt's, across the street. “What's the matter, Barr,” said Merritt, “trying to break down another chair?” “Oh no,” replied the professional Grafter, “I only fell.” Then, seeing people passing on the sidewalk, and essaying a gallery play, he added: “I was only trying to get that chair and take it into Hart's.” The next day Barr had a perceptible limp to port and folks said Miller & Nagel, tiring of Barr's hanging about their place, had fixed the shelf so that he might fall and break his neck.

The session of the California fruit growers at San Jose last week was the most notable gathering of the kind in the history of horticulture in the State. Many of the foremost fruit growers of California were present, and many questions of vital interest to the horticulturists were discussed. Ellwood Cooper, President of the State Board of Horticulture, who presided over the gathering, delivered the following annual address: “The greatest difficulty we have to overcome is a proper distribution of our fruits. This question has been discussed at every convention for the past fifteen years. At our last meeting recommended that agents, selected from among our fruit growers or those conversant with our fruit interests, be employed to travel through the different sections where fruit can be sold arrange with responsible mercantile houses to sell the fruits, to fix prices to hold meetings where it may be necessary, and exhibit what we have for sale—in other words, to educate the people in what is to their interest, well as to determine the quantity that each market will take at a fair price—the producer. To arrange central houses in all the large markets so as to prevent overstocking or depress prices, we must control the sales and manage our own products. The agents could work in the interest of every product. A small percent of the commissions paid would be sufficient to meet this expense. Such a plan would give us better railroad facilities.

"How many housekeepers picking over the vegetables know anything about them?" asked a contemplative customer of a friend, as he watched his grocer fill a small measure with potatoes. "Lots of them," promptly replied the other marketer. "Why, here are the potatoes in my hand, for instance. They are native American. I guess Sir Walter Raleigh." "I guess he never ate one, for in his day they were not considered fit to eat. They went to Europe from the hills of South America, and a strange matter of fact, when you come to think of it, is that in the United States, where, barring a few sections, vegetables grow in greater abundance and beauty than any other part of the world, none save maize and the ground artichokes are native products." "Nonsense!" ejaculated the amazed Yankee. "No nonsense about it," continued the contemplative customer. "Europe, Asia, Africa and South America are all more richly endowed than we. I used to think that watermelon was ours, but bless you! The North African tribes grew the big, juicy fellows and gave us our first seeds. As to the muskmelon, it is a vegetable of such ancient lineage that like the cabbage and lettuce, nobody knows just who were their first progenitors. The melon, at any rate, came out of Persia as a developed table delicacy, while the Adam of the cabbage family is agreed by botanists to have flourished way back there in Central Asia where they say the Caucasian race came from. The Romans ate cabbage salad, and according to count there are nearly as many varieties of this sturdy old green goods as there are different races of men. "There is another Roman delicacy," continued the customer, pointing to a box of beets. "They do say that the Greek philosophers thought a dish of boiled beets, served up with salt and oil, a great aid to mental exercise. For my part, though, I don't know a vegetable that should be proud of its family history than the radish. Radishes come from China, but a scientific journal the other day announced the discovery, from the translation of Egyptian people passing on the sidewalk, and essaying a gallery play, he added: "I was only trying to get that chair and take it into Hart's. The next day Barr had a perceptible limp to port and folks said Miller & Nagel, tiring of Barr's hanging about their place, had fixed the shelf so that he might fall and break his neck.

Ernest Kellenberger was transferred to this ship. I was very glad to meet him. He is serving as an electrician, and will later go up to the station on the island with the rest of us. He reports having had a very good time while he was in Anaheim. It is raining here today, and looks like more will fall. I suppose you folks have had some rain. Some of the boys will soon leave to make their cruise on the U. S. S. Adams. The vessel is to leave the bay on December 18th. One hundred and twenty of the boys will leave on the Adams. There is no telling whether I will go on it or not. Well, I'll come to a close for this time. Yours truly, ADOLPH HEINZMAN. A Model Ranch. Our frontispiece this month is a composite picture showing a number of scenes on the ranch of Mr. J. B. Neff of Anaheim, a gentleman who is known to most of the readers of agricultural papers, by his contributions in connection with deciduous fruit and walnut growing and also as the manager of the Anaheim Walnut Growers' Association. It is said, and very often with a certain degree of truth, that those men who write most on the subject of how to grow fruits, etc., are very often the ones who do not practice what they preach. A noticeable feature of Mr. Neff's place is that he does practice what he preaches, for it would be hard indeed, to find a better kept, more symmetrically pruned or more carefully tended orchard. It is located two miles southwest of Anaheim and contains seventy acres. Of this thirty acres is set to soft shell walnuts, twenty acres of seven-year-olds, the balance being grafted two-year-olds, with peaches and apricots planted between the rows. There are twenty-three acres of apricots—ten acres of Blenhelms, and thirteen of Brigghetti. The fruit of this last was sold at $50 per ton. The Blenhelms, of which there were 45 tons, netted $35.50 per ton. The balance of the ranch it planted to olives and peaches, with the usual assortment of fruits for family use. One of the secrets of Mr. Neff's success is, he has an abundance of water; his pumping plant, a view of which is given, consists of 60-H. P. boiler and 50-H. P. engine and a No. 8 Jackson vertical centrifugal pump, all contained in a fireproof building. The water is raised 50 feet and 175 inches is the result. Mr. Neff not only has water enough for his own use but supplies some of his neighbors—Cultivator. Use Allen's Foot-base in Your Gloves.

To arrange central houses in all the large markets so as prevent overstocking or depress prices, we must control the sales and manage our own products. The agents could work in the interest of our every product. A small percent of the commissions paid would be sufficient to meet this expense. Such a plan would give us better railroad facilities. Competition among the common carriers would insure the best possible term and the best time in the transit, and rebates would come to the producers. "It is the universal opinion among fruit growers that the best success can only be obtained by co-operation, united and concentration; and yet it has been stated in public discussion by intelligent fruit growers that they were covinced concentration was impossible Why? There can only be one conclusion, and that is—a want of confidence either in our ability to sell our products or a distrust of fair dealing those trusted with the management Yet, while we distrust each other, trust people whom we have never seen and who manage our products and grow rich by our industry and labor." President Cooper reviewed the perceptions of the Walnut Growers' association of Southern California in the Fresno Raisin Growers' association, and expressed the hope that assembled growers, profiting by their perience of others, would agree upon some feasible solution of the greatest problem of combination and best prices. On the subject of insect pests he says: "The theory which I have advanced my opening addresses for many years grows more and more fixed mind as the only intelligent one." He is to keep these invading foes in junction by their natural enemies Twenty years ago the San Jose sewer was making terrible havoc on the ciduous fruits and fruit trees in Santa Clara county. Today this pest scarcely known. Later the white silt threatened the citrus fruit industry Southern California. Today there not a citrus grower in that region fears the enemy. Still later the puple scale made its appearance and spared rapidly on the citrus trees. We see that in Hawaii this pest has been completely destroyed. "There is no doubt in my mind that we will be confronted from time to time with new and dangerous plants." We should therefore be organized ready to meet them with their native enemies. I beg to refer you to my dress made one year ago at Freshen which I urged that a sufficient apiration be made and a special buildup be established as a part of the Board of Horticulture for the investigation of predaceous insects and diseases. This work should be continued and permanent. We have recently odea worm, something like an earthworm destroying the alfalfa field—the thousands of acres, also of theft on the beet fields. It is posh that this worm may reach us here cause great loss to the sugar beech dusty as also to the alfalfa field—the San Joaquin valley. "The State Board has available to be spent in search for the enelements of the destroyers of our fruits."

For my part, though, I don’t know a vegetable that should be prouder of its family history than the radish. Radishes come from China, but a scientific journal the other day announced the discovery, from the translation of Egyptian hieroglyphics, that Pharoah fed his pyramid builders on radishes. He only went so far as to spend 1900 silver talents in order to regale his masons with the crisp and spicy root. Again, if you read the Old Testament carefully, you will be sure to come across the announcement that in Egypt the children of Israel ate melons, beets, onions and garlic and evidently, when traveling through the wilderness, Moses had a great deal of difficulty in persuading them to cease yearning after these Egyptian dainties. “Beside the melons and peaches and geraniums,” continued the garrulous customer, “for all which we have to thank productive Persia, water cress comes from her valleys and brooks and she taught the world how to grow and head lettuce. However, the Roman gourmands, who adopted both these salads, ate green peas and stringed beans that their gardeners found growing in France and South Germany, and cucumbers were as popular with them as with the Jews and Egyptians. “To Arabia honor is due for the burr artichoke. They ate it for liver difficulties—and as a matter of fact, there is no vegetable so good for men and women who lead a sedentary life, just as carrots, that grew first in Belgium, are an admirable tonic for the complexion, spinach for the blood, potatoes for the hair and celery for the nerves. Rhubarb, they say, was never known until the fifteenth century, when the Russians found it on the banks of the Volga, and if you will believe it, the only European people that appreciate the egg-plant as we do are the Turks. North Africa first produced this fruit. In France it is eaten raw often as not and in obstinate England they use it only for decoration. However, the potato had to make a desperate struggle for popularity and for nearly a century after it was imported and grown in Europe nobody could be persuaded to touch it. Finally, Parmentier gave it a boom that in two centuries has not in the least diminished, and twice this little tuber has saved Europe from what promised to be a cruel famine.” Whereupon the customer hurried off down the street, leaving the green grocer staring at his stock of truck with a refreshing expression of pride and interest.

In a small district about Fullerton, Placentia and Anaheim there were fifteen cars of walnuts bought through brokers, and the GAZETTE says: “We showed last week that these were paid for at the rate of $1500 per car. These cars were sold by the purchasing agents to the brokers at $1600 per car. Here is a neat little profit of $1500 in itself, which the local purchasing agents divided between themselves.

MER 21, 1899 GROWERS IN SESSION. On the Keynote to Success in Horticulture Mr. Naftzger Speaks. Session of the California fruit at San Jose last week was theitable gathering of the kind in the history of horticulture in the State, the foremost fruit growers of the area were present, and many of vital interest to the horti-ware were discussed. Mr. Cooper, President of the Board of Horticulture, who prefers the gathering, delivered the annual address: Greatest difficulty we have to deal is a proper distribution of it. This question has been dis-very convention for the past years. At our last meeting I extended that agents, selected among our fruit growers or those meant with our fruit interests, be told to travel through the differ-ences where fruit can be sold, with responsible mercantile to sell the fruits, to fix prices, to meetings where it may be used, and exhibit what we have in other words, to educate the man what is to their interest, as to determine the quantity that market will take at a fair price to producer. To arrange central on all the large markets so as to overstocking or depressed we must control the sales and our own products. These would work in the interest of our product. A small per cent of theions paid would be sufficient to cover expense. Such a plan would better railroad facilities. Committing the common carriers ary should cut no figure in securing a proper head for the organization. The organization should be decisive in its character. When orange growers organized they were confronted with obstacles. We were told the commission would control the market. Nobody controls the market but the men who hold the supplies. By combination growers will eliminate all the speculative features between the producer and the market. There is no reason why our products should pass through the hands of speculators. The Orange Growers' association sells more fruit and sells it for more money in all the markets than all the operators combined who ship from this State. Our market extends from Victoria, B.C., to Jacksonville, Fla., Montreal to Los Angeles, and to London. Last year our sales were $2,750,000, and in all this business we never lost 1 cent on bad accounts. "California fruit men should co-operate in their several classes and then cooperate in a general association. The time will come when in the large Eastern centers we will have houses to distribute California products of every class. There is no reason why all the products of vine and tree should not be sold through the same agency. It would place the markets on a steady basis. It is perfectly practicable. It is not necessary to combine at this end of the line, but the managing at the end where the distribution is done should be converged into a common center in the East. Expenses would be reduced to a minimum, and the sale of our dried and fresh products would be continually pushed forward." Alexander Craw, State Quarantine Officer, read a lengthy report concerning work in his department. The subject of his paper was "Dangerous Pests: Quarantined by the State Board of Horticulture; Stopped at the Threshold."

Advent Cooper reviewed the excess of the Walnut Growers' assent on Southern California and Desno Raisin Growers' association and expressed the hope that they were concentrated was impossible. There can only be one conclusion that is—a want of confidence in our ability to sell our own or a distrust of fair dealing by trust with the management. We distrust each other, we people whom we have never seen to manage our products and grow our industry and labor." Whereas Congress is about to be called upon to consider and approve reciprocity and other treaties with numerous foreign States, which treaties will materially reduce the tariff on many of the leading products of this State, such as dry and sparkling wines, ports and sherries; citrus, dried, preserved and fresh fruits; raisins, nuts, olive oil and beet sugar; which reductions of tariff will expose these leading and growing industries to most unfair and ruinous competition; and Whereas, It is desirable to remind our lawmakers that in California the United States possesses a region unequaled in the world in the extent and variety of its natural resources; which, if developed under wise laws and the fostering care of our national government, will support a population as great as that of Great Britain, France and Germany; and Whereas, In view of our geographical position and the great possibilities of future trade along the shores of the Pacific ocean, the rapid development of this great wealth is of the utmost importance to the strength and glory of the nation, and cannot be successfully carried on while capital is exposed to loss through an unwise changefulness and meddling with our tariff laws; and Whereas, The Republican party and the present administration has received the cordial and hearty support of the people of California, as shown by the State's greatly increased Republican representation at Washington, which support was given on our faith in the promises and pledges of this great party, through its leaders and its press, that all our industries should by tariff legislation receive ample protection, to the end that they may be stimulated to their greatest development. Now, therefore, we the fruit growers of the State of California, in convention assembled, do, with all due respect but firmly and earnestly, call upon our Senator and our Representatives to urge upon our honored President and upon Congress as a matter of sound policy, and demand as a matter of common right and justice, that no reductions whatever be made or allowed in our present tariff laws which will directly or indirectly reduce the protection under which we are now working and which has brought us all prevailing and unexemplary prosperity.

Cook. This work should be continued permanently. We have recently read worm, something like an army destroying the alfalfa fields by thousands of acres, also of the attention the beet fields. It is possible this worm may reach us here, and great loss to the sugar beet industry as also to the alfalfa fields in Indian Joaquin valley. The State Board has available 500 spent in search for the enemies of our fruits. We are an agent, George Compere, now dealing with Albert Koebele, who is the service of the Hawaiian Governor. The last letter received from George Compere was dated October 19, 1894, Fiji. He had made several disclosures and I am very hopeful that important finds will be the result of his trip. It is my intention, always including that my brother commissers agree with me, to send him to northern Europe to search for the site of the codin moth." The subject of food adulteration president had considerable to say. Regretted that the interstate purse law failed to pass the last Congress. "The combination of capital invested in this dishonest and profitable business," he said, "seems to be too weak. How such an important measure can be reached is more than I can see this writing." One address dealt with the subjects water supply, railroads and the provision of forests. He recommended that the convention urge Congress to draw from settlement all the mountain lands not occupied in the State to restrict the devastation caused by expecting for mineral wealth and for using purposes. H. H. Naftzger, President and General Manager of the Southern California Fruit exchange, spoke at length on the Organization and Co-operation Citrus Fruit Growers." He said in it: So much has been said upon the advantages of organization that it ought appeal to us. Organization will stimulate friendly rivalry among producers. Goods well graded and packed half marketed. A large business effect a saving, especially in buy-supplies. An association can conduct business cheaper than any one else. Theire expenses of the Orange Grower's association is only 3 per cent of its gross sales. A few years ago our pack cost us from 35 to 40 cents per box, this has been reduced to 24 and 28 cents. Where the expenses of the association reached 10 per cent of grosses it is now 3 per cent. This saving results simply because we do a large business. Another benefit of organization is that it reduces competition. Because organization the commission men trade every grower a competitor with every other producer. If the prune growers have the spirit co-operation it will be effected. Continued on Fourth page. A suit was filed in the Superior Court at Santa Ana on Friday by Mrs. Elizabeth Phillips, mother of T.J. Cook, who was killed in August last by his wife. The action is brought to quiet title to the Cook ranch in Westminster, and makes Mrs. Katie Cook (wife of the deceased), Henry Pope, administrator, and E.H. Winans defendants. The complaint alleges that T.J. Cook deeded the ranch to Mrs. Cook October 18, 1898, in trust, and that Mrs. Cook reconveyed the property to Cook on August 1, 1899. This second conveyance was not made a matter of record, and on August 28th Mrs. Cook shot and killed her husband. Mrs. Cook since the death of her husband has mortgaged a large portion of the property, and claims to be its sole owner. Henry Pope, administrator of the estate, refused to take possession of the property, together with a large amount of personal property, on the ground that all of it is the sole property of his daughter, Mrs. Cook, and the administrator, therefore, is not in charge of the real and personal property as law and his duty as such administrator require. The complaint also alleges that Mrs. Phillips is the sole surviving parent of T.J. Cook, and as such succeeds the deceased in the ownership of a full undivided one-half interest in all his real and personal property. The court is asked to enjoin the defendants from selling, mortgageing or disposing of any portion of the real or personal property until the interests of the claimants are established in court. It is claimed by parties identified with the case that the prosecution will endeavor to show that Mrs. Cook had other motives for killing her husband than have been popularly supposed. The charge of murder against Mrs. Cook is still pending in the Superior Court, her health being such that postponements from time to time have been necessary.
