PEST EXTERMINATION. Mass Meeting of Orange County Tree Growers Called to Take Action Upon the Subject The meeting of tree growers at Mr. Cargill's Brookshurst residence on Monday afternoon was attended by a number of horticulturists from various sections of the county. The meeting was held under the auspices of the Farmers' club, many of the members of which were also present. The special order was the discussion of the Horticultural Commission, and the desirability of taking steps to the end that the Supervisors may see the necessity of co-operating with the Commissioners in a more vigorous warfare upon scale pests. The meeting was preliminary to the calling of a mass meeting of horticulturists for the purpose of discussing the best means of bringing this about. The date of the mass meeting was fixed upon Saturday, April 16th, at the City Hall in this city. The session opened with the reading of the minutes of the last meeting of the club, containing among other matters the statement of Horticultural Commissioner Huntington of this district, setting forth the antagonism of the Supervisors to the Commissioners, who were limited in their expenditures for destruction of scale pests, and harassed in divers and sundry other particulars. President Fay, on calling the assemblage to order, reviewed the purpose of the meeting. He referred to the reluctance of the professional fumigators to go into small orchards to fumigate the limited number of trees therein. They take contracts from the larger orchards, leaving the smaller ones to remain breeding places for the scale. Thus the pests are carried from tree to tree by the immense variety of birds flying about the orchards. It was, therefore, necessary that the county furnish the Horticultural Commissioners with a limited number of fumigating tents to take this matter in hand and rid these small places of scale, the expense to be borne, of course, by those orchardists. The club had, he said, discussed these matters before. The purpose of the meeting was to call out an expression exerted their utmost influence on Supervisor Potter, they could bugge him one bit. The 22d of next July would be, he said, the jubilee year of his arrival in California. After his return from the mines he visited the missions around San Francisco, and found them containing a few seedling orange trees, but all of them were free from scale. There were no fruit pests, not even black scale. The live oaks had a scale peculiar to them, but these were harmless. All the scale pests we have in California have been imported since then. The chief work of the Horticultural Commissioners is to quarantine closely against the introduction of new pests. If any one imagines for a moment that red, black, purple and cottony cushion scale are the only kinds of pests that threaten us, they are greatly mistaken. Alexander Craw, the State quarantine guardian, Mr. Hamilton said, boards and inspects every ship that enters San Francisco harbor. More than half of all the vessels entering that port are loaded down with new and dangerous fruit pests. If the people realized the great danger constantly threatening them by the arrival of these shiploads of pests, they would be greatly astonished. California is not the only State troubled with scale pests. Every State in the Union is, in fact, more troubled than we. About twenty years ago a Frenchman came to Malden, Mass., and found a wild native moth. He thought it was a new variety of silkworm, and supposed he would immortalize his name by sending to France for a native silkworm, cross the species and produce a new silkworm. They arrived, and were one day lying in an envelope on the window sill. A draught blew them out upon the lawn. In a few weeks the moths had eaten their way to the neighboring places. In a year a mile square had been devastated of verdure. Soon the area amounted to two square miles, and in a few years the area was 200 miles square. For nine years the State did nothing. Now the State is bending its energies to the utmost to destroy the gypsy moth. In one year the State appropriated $50,000 to destroy the pest. Last year it appropriated $150,000, and is now calling upon the general government for an appropriation of $100,000 to assist in destroying this pest. And the State will never totally destroy that pest, added the speaker significantly; that is as sure as the sun rises and sets. That pest may be imported into California. It is necessary for us to be ever watchful. It is liable to get here, along with a thousand other pests which would destroy our trees and vines. of the importation of the dread Monkey worm from Mexico, which is an extremely dangerous pest. It goes right into the heart of the orange. Only stant vigilance on the part of the missioners would keep it out. Mr. Hunter said he believed she were carried in ditch water. Mr. Hamilton observed he had heard of this, but took no stock in it. The chairman here extended a thank you to Mr. Hamilton, as well as other visitors for their presence and the instruction acquired from them upon the interesting subject before club. Mrs. Harrison assisted by a bevvy pretty girls served refreshment which were accorded the usual attention on the part of those present. A vote of thanks was extended to Cargill and his daughter for the co-sies of the occasion. The club journeyed to meet at George A. Huntsville last Monday in this month. PAUCHON'S TRIP TO PARIS Postponed Because Mons. Faure of Angeles Gets Away with His Monads Mons. Joseph Pauchon, formerly this city, who recently started one way to Paris, is waterlogged in wicked town of Pokerdavisville, where a countryman named Faure has succeeded in making away with $5000 money. Pauchon some seven years ago sold a band of sheep for $5000 and ing apprehensive of banks and bank institutions, he deposited his money with Faure, who has had the use during that length of time. Pauche came to Anaheim and started a sausage He just about made expenses here, ducting an obscure place that was queried mostly by his country from out of town. A year ago he announced his pose of selling out and returning France. He disposed of his saloon for the past six months has visited friends in Orange and Riverside ties, preparatory to leaving for Belle France. He was in Anaheim a fortnight bidding his friends farewell. He to Los Angeles and asked for his maiden Faure went to his safe, and on his turn stated he had been robbed! Money, so Pauchon thought, had in that safe for seven years. Charles Faure is a well-known highly-respected member of thie limited number of trees therein. They take contracts from the larger orchards, leaving the smaller ones to remain breeding places for the scale. Thus the pests are carried from tree to tree by the immense variety of birds flying about the orchards. It was, therefore, necessary that the county furnish the Horticultural Commissioners with a limited number of fumigating tents to take this matter in hand and rid these small places of scale, the expense to be borne, of course, by those orchardists. The club had, he said, discussed these matters before. The purpose of the meeting was to call out an expression of opinion from others upon the subject that now engrossed the attention of horticulturists throughout Southern California. D. Edson Smith of Santa Ana, being called upon for his views upon the matter, said that he heartily agreed with the consensus of opinion as expressed at the last meeting of the club, to the effect that a mass meeting of tree growers be called for the purpose of bringing pressure to bear upon the Supervisors to the end that a more vigorous campaign against scale pests be inaugurated. He considered the scale question a life-and-death question. Either we must eradicate the scale, and keep it eradicated, from all our trees, or else go out of the business. He favored the plan of furnishing fumigating tents for the Commissioners by the Supervisors. The idea, he said, is to get a sufficient number of people to see it in this light, to get the Supervisors to do the right thing by the horticulturists. Mr. Fay said that the great trouble in this district seems to be that the Supervisor is opposed to doing anything in this direction. His idea of the Horticultural Commission is that it is a useless part of the community. He believes that every grower should look after his own trees and do his own fumigating, whenever and wherever he may consider it necessary. Mr. Smith—Is he opposed to health officers and doctors? If consistent, he ought to be. It was unfortunate to have such a man on the board. J. A. Whitaker of Buena Park said that Supervisor Potter seems to be more interested in roads than in scale pests, but he thought that pressure could be brought to get him to take a hold of the matter. A mass meeting of tree growers, or a petition to the Supervisors signed by the horticulturists of the county, would excite sufficient interest in the subject to bring about the desired result. It would not take a large amount of money to furnish the Commissioners with fumigating tents to destroy scale in orchards where the professional fumigators do not care, on account of the limited number of trees, to go. The scale question was a war cry in his orchard, and he wanted to exert every endeavor to get rid of the pests on his trees. Mr. Whitaker exhibited an apple twig covered with San Jose scale. The tree was dying. Commissioner Hamilton of Orange, who was present, said it was one of the worst infected pieces of tree he had seen in a long time. Mr. Whitaker (apologetically)—That speaker said once an old gentleman at Orange said he would plant on his place specimens of every tree and vine grown on earth. "Then I shall have to look out for you," he replied; "and I don't want you to plant any tree or vine imported from outside the State without my first inspecting it." Soon the man imported a barrel of grape vines from Napa. They had the phylloxera. Mr. Hamilton took the barrel, and telling the man he would disinfect them, poured bysulphide of carbon over the vines. They were set out. Some time later the man came to Hamilton's house and gave Mrs. Hamilton a tongue-lashing. Mr. Hamilton was away at the time. The vines had all died! Some ten years ago his attention was directed by Prof. Pierce to a vineyard at Orange which was infested with phylloxera. He went to the owner, and informed him the vines would have to be destroyed. "Get off my place!" shouted the vinyardist. The speaker informed him he had a right to come upon his place; that he was a police officer—a quarantine officer. He assured him he (the vineyardist) would not make any money out of his vines, and talked to him diplomatically. After a lengthy conversation Hamilton said he would undertake to collect $150 for the man if he would consent to destroy the vines. "It's a go," he said. Hamilton succeeded in raising $107—that all he could get after a systematic canvass of the county. He offered the man the money; it was accepted; the vines were grubbed out, and now he has a fine apricot orchard on the land. That was an instance of the good work performed by the Commissioners. Mr. Hamilton here read the report of the Horticultural Commissioners of Orange county, which will be found in another column of this issue. At the conclusion of the reading of the report, he referred to two bills now before Congress. One of them had been prepared by the Eastern nurserymen, and provided that when trees have been once inspected at the point of shipment, they shall have free entry into any State. The other had been prepared by the California horticulturists, and was for the protection of their interests. It provides for a thorough inspection of all trees imported into the State. Congressman Waters of Los Angeles, who had charge of the latter bill, recently telegraphed that the bill had been amended to suit the Eastern nurserymen, and would probably pass! This is just what we don't want, said the speaker. The chair stated that Mr. Waters' communication had been before the Directors of the Southern California Fruit exchange, and each of the eleven members of that body had denounced the amendment. Mr. Waters had been telegraphed to this effect. The fruit exchange had the matter in hand, and had taken the necessary steps to assist in defeating the bill. A year ago he announced his pose of selling out and returning France. He disposed of his saloon for the past six months has visited friends in Orange and Riverside ties, preparatory to leaving for Belle France. He was in Anaheim a fortnight bidding his friends farewell. He to Los Angeles and asked for his mans faure went to his safe, and on his turn stated he had been robbed! money, so Pauchn thought, had in that safe for seven years. Charles Faure is a well-known highly-respected member of the Angeles French colony, having been business at that pueblo for five years. He was president of the Ferm Mutual Benevolent society, which is the French hospital at 913 Cars street, for seven successive years. A number of the French populace distrustful of banks generally gave their savings into the hands some of their countrymen who are business, to keep for them. Owing this custom Faure has for years as banker for a number of Ferm people. Among those who put their trust their money in Faure's safe, instilling patronizing the regular banking institutions, were Joseph and Ernest chon. The latter, a brother to one mer fellow townsman, had been in liquor business at Riverside, and $3000 deposited with Faure. De made by others aggregated $8000. Last week Joseph Pauchn met Faure that he and his wife were to Paris, and requested a settle Thursday Ernest Pauchn arrived Riverside to bid his relatives good Early Thursday morning Faure Joseph Pauchn $315 with whose purchase tickets, and then disappear from his place of business. Paured tickets for himself wife, but when he returned to give balance of his money Faure could be found. Search was at once instituted missing man, and about 4 p.m. he found walking up and down on Santa Fe railway tracks along bank. He was apparently in demented condition, and was home and put to bed by his friend said that his safe had been opened some one and robbed of its coins and that he could not meet his obligations. Pauchn returned his railroadets and his money was refunded $315 which he received from Faure all that he and his wife have years of saving. He is greatly tressed, and on Friday fainted times from the excitement under her was laboring. Boys' Band. Seventeen boys assembled at Hall on Saturday evening for their pose of joining the newly born boys' band, of which Prof. Crowther of Placentia is to lead leader. Prof. Crowther was paid and said that in six months he have the boys sufficiently trained give an open-air concert in Park. The following boys joined band: Charles Schindler, Owen burner, Fred Middleham, Lewis Timothy Carroll, George mer; Earl Steadman, Charles M Walter Mickle, Charley Darlin Norman; Edward Golter, T Dickel, Henry Schindler, Backs, Santos Carrizosa, V mish the Commissioners with fumigating tents to destroy scale in orchards where the professional fumigators do not care, on account of the limited number of trees, to go. The scale question was a war cry in his orchard, and he wanted to exert every endeavor to get rid of the pests on his trees. Mr. Whitaker exhibited an apple twig covered with San Jose scale. The tree was dying. Commissioner Hamilton of Orange, who was present, said it was one of the worst infected pieces of tree he had seen in a long time. Mr. Whitaker (apologetically)—That was off the worst tree in the orchard. Mr. Cargill thought petitions to the Supervisors would be more effective than a mass meeting to bring about the desired result. Properly prepared petitions presented to the Supervisors by a competent committee ought to accomplish the object. Mr. Hamilton said he had been a Horticultural Commissioner for 15 years. He knew all the members of all the Boards of Supervisors in Orange and Los Angeles counties during that time. He knows the members of this board perfectly, and he knew how important it was for him to keep away from them—every time he came in contact with them he struck fire. The board had always contained two men who vigorously opposed the idea of maintaining a Horticultural Commission, for the extermination of scale pests. The board at present contains one member (Supervisor Potter of this district) who vigorously opposes the Commissioners. Supervisor Pixley of Orange he regarded as entertaining views favorable to horticultural interests, but the others were a case of quien sabe. It was hard to make these gentlemen understand that orange culture gives the county much of its standing and its character. The Supervisors of all the other counties of the south, with the possible exception of San Diego, are alive to the fact that it is to the fruit industry that they must look for their continued progress and prosperity. Time was when mining was the principal industry of the State; then it was grain; then cattle and sheep; now it is fruit that gives value to all our industries. The Supervisors ought to understand this, and inaugurate a more liberal policy toward the industry. He thought the remedy was to seek out good men at election time and elect them to office. He did not think that if all the horticulturists in the county their interests. It provides for a thorough inspection of all trees imported into the State. Congressman Waters of Los Angeles, who had charge of the latter bill, recently telegraphed that the bill had been amended to suit the Eastern nurserymen, and would probably pass! This is just what we don't want, said the speaker. The chair stated that Mr. Waters' communication had been before the Directors of the Southern California Fruit exchange, and each of the eleven members of that body had denounced the amendment. Mr. Waters had been telegraphed to this effect. The fruit exchange had the matter in hand, and had taken the necessary steps to assist in defeating the bill. Mr. Hamilton cited individual cases of the innocent attempt to introduce dangerous pests into the State by travelers. One lady brought with her from the East a cricket, which she said made the queerest noise she ever heard from a cricket. She loved crickets, but this one was a stem-winder. Mr. Craw got hold of it and stepped on it. It was the dangerous capricicana sciperalgopolis. The lady thought Mr. Craw was very ungallant to kill the cricket. The subject under discussion was taken up and dwelt upon further by a number of those present, among them G.A. Hunter, M.L.Rogers, W.C.Eymann, D.Edson Smith, A.H.Cargill, J.A.Witaker, G.W.Sherwood and others. The appointment of the time and place for the mass meeting being now taken up, it was decided to hold the same at the City Hall in this city on Monday, April 16th. Mr. Eymann said he thought some means ought to be taken to prevent scale from climbing trees. He had recently noticed this phenomenon among the black scale, numbers of which were as large as three pin heads. Recently he had topped some of his orange trees, and he later noticed that chille pepper bushes planted between the trees were covered with these scale bugs. Every pepper bush had from 1 to 50 or 100 of these pests. He thought also that these pests were carried about by the wind. Mr. Hamilton spoke upon the migratory habits of the scale, especially red scale. The female red scale is a clumsy bird, has no wings, and cannot get around well. The male is provided by nature with large wings. When it chooses its mate it attaches himself to her and flies away with her. When the male is relieved of this burden he dies. The wind carries this scaly couple about—the soft winds. The Santa Ana wind is too boisterous for them, and destroys them. Mr. Eymann said he had noticed a worm working on his oranges, and asked concerning its identity and destructiveness. Mr. Hamilton said he was acquainted with the worm. It was not at all dangerous. It only penetrates the rind, and that not badly. But there is danger Hall on Saturday evening for the pose of joining the newly organized boys' band, of which Prof. Crowther of Placentia is to leader. Prof. Crowther was paid and said that in six months he have the boys sufficiently trained give an open-air concert in Park.

Prof. Crowther has been in New gales this week selecting instruc for the boys. They will meet at Saturday afternoon next at 2 at the City Hall, for their practice.

Resume of the Work done by the Fumigators Last Season – Other Important Matters. The following report of the Orange County Horticultural Commission has been submitted to the Supervisors. It was read by Commissioner Hamilton at the meeting of tree growers at Brookhurst on Monday. Gentlemen:—A. D. 1899 has been one of progress in all lines of horticulture. Many trees of unprofitable varieties have been removed and better ones have taken their places, and large areas of new ground have been planted. But the chief interest is to be noted in the improved methods of fighting the insect pests. The earliest method used in this county was spraying with kerosene emulsion. This was superceded by the rosin wash, and this again by fumigation with hydrocyanic-acid gas. The latter has been found by far the most effective method. A few of the growers have tents and have done their own fumigation, but the county having no tents, the mass of this work has been done by the following tent owners: Trees. Cyanide lbs. Berkenstock...70,048 24,767 J. Parker...25,000 18,000 Bennet...25,000 12,000 Wilson...12,812 3,910 Spears...11,000 5,500 Schneider...10,846 2,305 Schumacher...3,460 948 Total...158,166 57,430 with a total cost to the growers of $31,-633.20. Many of the younger groves have been sprayed at a much less expense, and some groves have been allowed to pass because of their cleanliness, resulting from thorough disinfection the year before. The brightness and cleanliness of the present crop shows the thoroughness of the work of the fumigators. Experience has suggested many improvements in methods of work, and better qualities of cyanide and reduced prices of the same have greatly reduced the expense of fighting the scale. The species of scales to be fought in this county are four that infest citrus trees, the red, black, purple, and white cottony cushion scales. The red is being rapidly reduced by the deadly fumes of hydrocyanic-acid gas. The BUENA PARK. Mr. and Mrs. Robert Bryden, Jr., of Los Angeles, visited at Harry Whitaker's Thursday. The M. E. church ladies' circle gave an orange social at Forester's Hall Tuesday evening. Games and music were the pastime. The W. C. T. U. contest took place at the Congregational church last Friday evening. It was a very pleasing program. The contestants for the silver medal were the Misses Barrett, the Misses Archibald and Miss Freda Kellenberger. It was hard for the judges to decide which scored the most points, as all did well. Miss Eva Arcibald was the successful one. The remainder of the program was highly enjoyed. The opening number was by the Park orchestra. Mrs. McCombes sang "The Holy City," and was heartily enclosed, as was a duet sung by Mrs. McCombes and Harry Whitaker. Mrs. McCombes has a beautiful voice, and always finds appreciative listeners. C. E. White sang "I Leave my Happy Home for You," very acceptably. The Foresters are offering special inducements for new members to join their lodge, the initiation fee being only one dollar. This society is also socially a success. Mrs. Bailey of New York City spoke in the Congregational church Tuesday evening on prohibition. The audience was rather small, but the lecture was fine, and will awaken an interest never had before in temperance work, not so much politically as in an educational way. Mrs. Bailey believes in education, and then the errors that are now injuring so many will cease to exist. Mrs. Bailey is from Prohibition Park in New York, and has been a national W. C. T. U. worker. Mrs. Bixby entertained the L. M. A. S.last Friday. The next meeting will be with Mrs. Kellenberger, April 12. Mr. and Mrs. Hunt of Lomas left for Bakersfield Tuesday. Mr. Hunt has resigned his position as manager of Mr. Emery's ranch. There will be special services Easter Sunday at the Congregational church. Mrs. McCombes will sing, and there will also be music by the orchestra. In the evening the Sunday school children will take some part in the services. Thursday evening at the First Baptist church in Los Angeles, Miss Grace Dickie and Mr. Claude Hale will be married. Miss Dickie was formerly one of the popular Park girls.

The day so Pauchon thought, had been at safe for seven years. Charles Faure is a well-known and respected member of the Los Angeles French colony, having been incessant at that pueblo for fifteen years. He was president of the French National Benevolent society, which owns French hospital at 913 Castellar, for seven successive years.

Owing to custom Faure has for years acted banker for a number of French colleagues. Among those who put their trust and money in Faure's safe, instead of organizing the regular banking institutions, were Joseph and Ernest Paull. The latter, a brother to our fellow townsman, had been in the business at Riverside, and had deposited with Faure. Deposits by others aggregated $8000. Last week Joseph Pauchon notified me that he and his wife were going to Paris, and requested a settlement. Thursday Ernest Pauchon arrived from Versailles to bid his relatives goodbye. Thursday morning Faure gave Joseph Pauchon $315 with which to exchange tickets, and then disappeared in his place of business. Pauchon received the tickets for himself and, but when he returned to get the chance of his money Faure could not find. Search was at once instituted for the road man, and about 4 p.m. he was walking up and down on the Fe railway tracks along the river bank. He was apparently in a half-ventured condition, and was taken and put to bed by his friends. He that his safe had been opened by one and robbed of its contents, that he could not meet his obliquities. Pauchon returned his railroad tickle and his money was refunded. The road which he received from Faure is that he and his wife have, after hours of saving. He is greatly disliked, and on Friday fainted three times from the excitement under which was laboring.

John Kellenberger has purchased the meat market formerly conducted by Sit Bent, and will carry on the same future as a first-class establishment, keeping on hand the best market words. John is an experienced butcher, is one of the most popular of young men as well, and we hope will succeed in his enterprise. He is a mother to Ernest Kellenberger, the young man-of-war's man who captured Spanish flag while on blockade duty at the north coast of Cuba. His parents live at Buena Park, where they are highly esteemed members of the community. We bespoke for the new market a share of the public patronage. Fine Rabbits. At the rabbitry of Cargill & Scott, east of town some very fine rabbits are now on display. The stock is from the best of imported bucks, among them some of the highest priced rabbits in the county. The rabbitry contains one hundred specimens, all of them in theink of condition. Since December 1st two does have littered 42 young. The rabbits are fed on alfalfa hay and corn meal. A new rabbit house with cement fooring is in contemplation, when the owners will probably have one of the best appointed establishments of the mind in Southern California. Parties contemplating purchasing should inspect this stock before purchasing elsewhere. Alfalfa and Barley Hay for sale at Stern Bros. Money to Loan. In sums to suit.

This is to certify that I have inspected the nurseries of the Alabama Nursery company and have found their stock apparently free from San Jose scale, peach yellows, rosette and other pernicious insects or contagious plant disease. F.S.EARLE, Horticulturist and Acting Entomologist of the State Experimental Station at Aubuss. This certificate is enforced by an affidavit made before a notary public dated Alabama, December 19, 1899, and signed, F.S.EARLE, Horticulturist and Acting Entomologist Alabama Experiment Station. CHARLES FACHET, Notary Public and ex-officio I.P. This shipment of peach trees was found to be badly infested with peach borers, and many were destroyed and the balance disinfected. We have since been informed that 30 carloads from the same nursery have been shipped to the Pacific Coast, first to Oregon by the Oregon Short Line, and are now being filtered down through the counties of California, some of which have no horticultural commissioners or inspectors. If these trees had not been destroyed or disinfected Orange county would have been well vaccinated with a new pest, notwithstanding the certificate and long affidavit of F.S.Earle. The above example illustrates how little reliance may be placed on inspections made and certified to in distant States, Territories and countries. If Orange county would protect her most valuable industry from the invasion of the thousand and one insect pests of other lands, she must maintain the most rigid quarantine and punishment of those who import infested nursery stock. "The gods will protect those who protect themselves." The horticultural law of 1891, which was an amendment to several earlier statutes, the Legislature of 1898 repealed for the purpose of eliminating ambiguities and then re-enacted, has been running the gauntlet of the courts for nine years; two Superior Judges holding the law constitutional and one pronouncing against it. On November 11, 1899, the Supreme Court of the State decided it constitutional and good law—the same Judge on the bench that reversed this decision. Some lawyers hold that the repealing of the law of 1891 repealed all acts of Supervisors under it, but that the re-enacting of it did not reinstate the acts of Supervisors. If so, then the Commissioners of this county are within law so far as county ordinances are concerned. We, therefore, beg Supervisors to re-enact Ordinance No. 17.

David Rogers and wife and daughter were in town on Tuesday from their home in Westminster. Dave makes the substantial claim for Westminster that it has to its credit three years of a greater degree of prosperity than any similar section of California. That is rather boastful, but it is true. Thousands of dollars pour into the community weekly from its butter, poultry and hog interests, and the corn and potatoes are the finest in the land. Besides there was a crop of some 700 carloads of celery that brought in a mint of money. Dave says the Westminster folks are talking of starting a bank. Butterick Patterns at Stern Bros.
