OLIVE UNFRUITFULNESS. The State Board of Horticulture Points Out Numerous Reasons for the Cause of It—The Remedy. The question of the unproductiveness of the olive tree in certain localities is at present agitating the minds of many growers throughout the State; several orchards, although old enough to bear, not yet having given remunerative returns, and others that bloom profusely but only setting few fruits, being cited as instances. The behavior of the olive in this respect is not new, and has been understood for ages and is due to many causes, but primarily to the improper management of the tree, imperfect bloom, deficient pollen, the ravages of the black scale, propagating from unfruitful sorts, and lastly to weakened fruit buds caused by excessive spraying with strong caustic and crude oil materials, and fumigating with gases too strong for the buds. While spraying and fumigating at times become essential for subduing the black scale, to which the tree is subject, especially in the coast regions or in localities of humid atmospheric conditions, unless used with moderation and applied at the proper time they cause the weakening of the fruit buds and retard their fruiting power. In my investigations I have often found olive growers spraying either at the wrong time or with materials that not only injured the buds very materially, but had no effect whatever on the insects. Such condition of affairs exists everywhere, and the trees are treated from one to three times a season. Can it be wondered then, that the trees fail to set their bloom with all these hindrances, rather than being encouraged in healthfulness looking toward a profitable production? Buds weakened by any cause put forth weak peduncles, which wither and loose hold before the flowers that are attached to them have developed. The flowers also develop unnaturally, lacking fertilizing power, and either wither and fall before fertilization takes place, or never open, thus failing to set fruit. Trees grown from seed have a tendency to revert to the wild type, or a soil, of which there is not enough for the roots of all. Also, the shade from adjoining trees is very detrimental. 7. Lack of fertilizers—failing to supply the elements of nutrition needed to secure healthy growth of trees, that the particular soil may lack, whether in a virgin state or after the growth of trees has exhausted same. 8. Want of proper pruning, such as the trees may need under varying conditions, especially to encourage fruit-bearing wood. 9. Injudicious cultivation, such as cutting the fibrous roots just before a dry spell, or during blooming time. 10. Want of cultivation, allowing the weeds to grow, when the tree roots should have the soil to themselves, especially in dry weather, or allowing the soil to become dry after plowing without breaking up the clods and pulverizing the ground. 11. Endeavoring to get two or more crops out of the same ground by growing other plants between and more or less close to the trees, which is detrimental to both. 12. Allowing the trees to become infested with the black scale, the fungus produced by the excrement of which clogs up the breathing functions of the tree and retards the growth of both tree and fruit.—From the Report of the State Board of Horticulture. REPUBLICAN MEETING. Biennial Session of the League of Republican Clubs to Assemble on Friday and Saturday of Next Week. [SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE.] LOS ANGELES, Cal., April 12. When the biennial session of the convention of the California League of Republican Clubs that meets in Los Angeles April 27th and 28th shall have closed, the hands of the Republican party of the State will have been strengthened. So much enthusiasm exists in this presidential year throughout California, and so gratifying are the reports that come to the Los Angeles executive committee that has the arrangements for the convention in charge, that the prediction long since made that this convention would prove the largest club gathering in the history of the State and the most successful convention of the league, will be verified. In order to meet this emergency in response to the request for the Republi-cation and its creature comforts. As all clubs have received necessary blanks for delegate representation, the need is apparent that early response be made that the vast details of the convention may be speedily adjusted. Any information desired can be procured by addressing Major M. T. Owens, chairman executive committee at Los Angeles, Cal. Agriculture and the Census To build up a great office like the census office in fifteen months from ab solutely nothing to an efficient machine, employing about 3000 men Washington and about 50,000 else where in the country, is a difficult task and entire success is out of the question. The office naturally compares itself with the stage of preparation attained at the same period ten years ago and tried by this test it has gained several months on its predecessor. One of the problems before it is how to put it time thus secured in such a way most to benefit the census. In the agricultural division the need of time for preliminary work is perhaps as great as anywhere in the census office. Farmers, as a class, do not keep their accounts as well as manufacturers, and the returns from farmers must occasionally include serious errors which a trained eye will at once detect. Hence the farm schedules must be examined with such errors correct before the tables can be made up from them with safety. If a farmer report that his land sown to wheat was acres and the yield 4000 bushels, it clear that an average yield of 400 bushels to the acre is incredible, and may be rejected or corrected in accordance with the probabilities. Sometimes truth can be made out by an expert from comparison with entries in other parts of the schedules; sometimes correspondence must be opened to settle the doubt. All this ranks under general head of verifying the schools, and the agricultural divisions plans to give all the time possible the work of verifying each of the millions of farm schedules. To accomplish this in time allowed, the work several hundred clerks will be required and there must be hard and fast rules to guide them. For example, they might be told: When the wheat then, that the trees fall to set their bloom with all these hindrances, rather than being encouraged in healthfulness looking toward a profitable production? Buds weakened by any cause put forth weak peduncles, which wither and loose hold before the flowers that are attached to them have developed. The flowers also develop unnaturally, lacking fertilizing power, and either wither and fall before fertilization takes place, or never open, thus failing to set fruit. Trees grown from seed have a tendency to revert to the wild type, or a type entirely distinct, some of which fruit, while others seldom do. The character is also changed by pollen impulse. There are a great many trees distributed among the missions throughout the State, that for natural, unexplained causes, have never as yet produced fruit in any quantity, the tendency of the trees being to throw their growth to foliage instead. Many orchardists seeking stock for propagating purposes planted cuttings in large numbers from such shy-bearing trees, and trees grown therefrom have been distributed indiscriminately throughout the State. Such trees have proved a great disappointment, for they have not yet produced fruit to pay for their culture, and no doubt never will, at least their parents do not. Almost every variety of olive known to the Old World has been imported into the State, and planted indiscriminately before the fruiting qualities were tested or the adaptability to our soil and climate shown. Several of these have not yet produced fruit in any quantity, while others are very shy bearers. Many of these varieties fruit for awhile when the trees are young, but on becoming older seem to degenerate and cease to bear fruit, the branches dying in the center, and the energies of the tree being wasted in the production of growth rather than of fruit. Some of these varieties are also deficient in sexual strength of the bloom, not having the fertilizing power essential for the setting of the fruit. For several seasons I have observed in orchards, in many portions of the State, little clusters of berries about half the size of peas. On opening these berries inside was found to be full of a gum-like substance, and without a pit, showing deficiency in pollen strength. Other berries, about the same size or larger, with pits, being the result of late blooming. In many such trees clusters of dried up blossoms are often found without any visible pollen in the flowers, which had died for want of fertilization. The behavior in the fruiting of the greater portion of the olive varieties so largely introduced has yet to be studied and experimented upon. That all varieties, irrespective of the climatic and soil conditions of the locations from which imported, planted in a locality with conditions entirely dissimilar, should be expected to become eminently successful, has long ago been proven to be a fallacy. With regard to the "Mission" olive its non-bearing behavior is easily understood. It requires, above all things, to closed, the hands of the Republican party of the State will have been strengthened. So much enthusiasm exists in this presidential year throughout California, and so gratifying are the reports that come to the Los Angeles executive committee that has the arrangements for the convention in charge, that the prediction long since made that this convention would prove the largest club gathering in the history of the State and the most successful convention of the league, will be verified. In order to meet this emergency in response to the request for the Republican workers to come to the convention city of the Southland, the executive committee has devised every method of entertainment that will conduce to the pleasure of the 7500 delegates, with families and friends, that are expected. The citizens of Los Angeles, without regard to party, have patriotically responded to the call for funds to meet the necessary outlays that a convention of this magnitude entails. Therefore, the executive committee is able to say that every item of expense for convention hall, music, decoration, headquarters, badges, etc., will be met, and that delegates will not be called upon for a single dollar to meet any expense, much less a deficit. The convention will be held in Hazard's pavilion, that is capable of comfortably seating 5000 persons. The decorators, using as adjuncts the tropical growths and flora of this section, with Old Glory, bunting and shields, have been instructed to turn the interior into a miniature pagoda of colors. For the convenience of the working force of the convention two official headquarters have been secured. The Westminster hotel will be devoted to the needs of the State executives, while the working force of the local executives and general headquarters for all visitors will be in the rooms of the league, 130 South Spring street, within easy reach of every hotel and public building. Too much stress cannot be placed upon the special railroad rate that has been granted by the railroads. This rate is a one and one-third fare for the round trip from any part of the State to Los Angeles. The tickets for the going trip may be purchased north of Mojave and Ellwood on the certificate plan from on and after April 12th. All railroad agents are fully informed as to the provisions of the special rate, and they will give all information when requested. In Southern California the rate is an "open rate" and goes on sale April 24th to 28th. These tickets can be secured by delegates and their families as well as by their friends. No distinction is drawn; the rate is open to every one. One guarantee is given that all delegates and their friends will find ample hotel accommodations. Los Angeles possesses beyond 350 lodging-houses and hotels on the European plan. Accommodations can be secured from $1 a day to as high a figure as one cares to expend. Los Angeles, as a convention city, has never been taxed, and she is well able to handle any crowd that may come within her gates in response to an invitation. This feature of material welfare to man is no small element conducive to his pleasure; hence, the convention management feels that truth can be made out by an expiration from comparison with entries in other parts of the schedules; sometimes or respondence must be opened to set doubt. All this ranks under general head of verifying the schedules, and the agricultural division plans to give all the time possible the work of verifying each of the millions of farm schedules. To accomplish this in the time allowed, the work several hundred clerks will be required and there must be hard and fast rules to guide them. For example, they might be told: When the wheat ports show a product of over 40 bushels to the acre, they are suspicious must be laid aside for an expert to ope upon. But any such rules must with the section of the country yield of 20 bushels in one section must be more questionable than a yield of bushels in another. Hence the condition must fix in advance what is range of reports in each part of country and for each crop that may accepted as probable on their face not requiring special examination. Get the limits of probability for purpose for each county in the United States—that is, the maximum and minimum price which may be accepted without verification—is the object an extensive correspondence now ing carried on by the agriculturals vision under the direction of L.Powers, chief statistician in charge that division. Three simple schemes have been prepared and printed on ferent colored paper in order that may be readily distinguished one another. One of them covers ordinary garden vegetables, a second co-operative field crops. Each asks about the measure employed and the net realized; and the two more important schedules, those for staple fields and for vegetables, ask for highest and lowest yield of crop per acre. These schedules are mailed to prominent farmer over the country, and in many instances returns have been received and tabulated, a scheme will be from them of what is to be correct in each case, and what is probed farther. The only aim of the intention of the farmer in answering questions. If the presumption is strongly against his meaning he schedule says, the office will learn by correspondence from him or sus supervisor or from an enumerator or from the farmer himself who real facts were. If the farming public will continue co-operate with the heartiness all displayed, this effort will result more trustworthy census of forms has ever been taken. Farmers class are less able to co-operate with representatives of any other industry. Hence the census officer do more for them than it can for trained lines of business, which and do make their own investiga tions and accurate photograph of this ing occupation.

The behavior in the fruiting of the greater portion of the olive varieties so largely introduced has yet to be studied and experimented upon. That all varieties, irrespective of the climatic and soil conditions of the locations from which imported, planted in a locality with conditions entirely dissimilar, should be expected to become eminently successful, has long ago been proven to be a fallacy. With regard to the "Mission" olive its non-bearing behavior is easily understood. It requires, above all things, to be kept in as clean and thrifty condition as possible. The black scale must be freed from it, and the trees must be properly fertilized and cultivated. Once the trees become infested with the black scale the smut produced from the excrement of this insect will cover the breathing functions of both leaf and branch, and the tendency of the tree will then be to leaf growth instead of to fruit. The tree, however, may bloom profusely, but, being sensitive to fungus, the stems to which the flowers are attached become weakened, lose hold, wither and drop before fertilization takes place. These natural conditions no doubt also apply with equal force to other varieties. Pruning to encourage the formation of fruit-bearing wood also becomes very essential. Aside from the causes already mentioned, are the following reasons why the olive fails to produce a crop in paying quantities: 1. Unsuitable soil selection, not naturally well drained, having a stratum of "haripan" or clayey, uncongenial conditions for roots too close to the surface. Soil not of ample richness, of too high or too low altitude. 2. Planting on sites too much exposed, without giving the trees protection by planting others to serve as windbreaks, etc. 3. The existence of a frost line. Frost during blooming period is very detrimental to the setting of the fruit, and in the fall and early winter to the fruit, especially during its tender period or first stages of ripening. 4. Planting varieties of indiscriminate selection, without regard to adaptability or the suitability of stocks used, etc. 5. Planting trees too deep or too shallow, which everywhere has proved a grave mistake. 6. Planting too close. Trees, after becoming large, require abundance of "I had been a sufferer for many years from nervousness with all its symptoms and complications," writes Mrs. O. N.

The basis of representation in the Republican State conventions has for some time been one delegate to every 200 votes. This basis has been raised for the convention next month to one delegate for every 300 votes, with one at large for each Assembly district.

The representation of the southern counties will be as follows: Santa Barbara, 8; Ventura, 6; Los Angeles, 56; Riverside, 8; San Bernardino, 10; Orange, 8; San Diego, 14. Total, 110. Los Angeles will have the second largest representation in the State. San Francisco will have 144 delegates, and Alameda 46. The convention will meet at Sacramento.

"Did it ever strike you," asked the little barber, "how easy it would be for the man that shaves you to kill you?" The man in the chair sat up quickly and looked carefully at the barber, who was feeling the edge of the razor with one finger. The barber smiled to reassure his customer and said: "It seems a queer question, I know, but it is a wonder to me that there are not a number of people killed in that way every year. It would be the easiest thing in the world for the barber as he wielded his razor to make one sweep with it and sever the jugular vein, and you would be dead almost on the instant. Suppose, for instance, that the barber should go insane. There would be nothing to prevent his doing such a thing, and you would have no warning nor any opportunity to save yourself. "There is always a chance of a serious accident happening to the man in the chair. I have seen a number of such accidents and have a horror of even nicking the man I am shaving. In fact, such an occurrence makes me feel out of sorts for the rest of the day. It was only a few days ago that I almost had an accident that gave me a great fright and completely unnerved me. I was shaving a young man, and in passing from one side of the chair to the other a button of my waistcoat caught in his hair. It pulled a trifle, and he moved his head suddenly just as I went to put the blade to his face. I came within an ace of slashing him, and only a quick jump back saved him.

"Sudden movements while in the barber's chair are always apt to be attended with serious results, and I could recall dozens of instances where it has been only the merest chance that has prevented serious if not fatal mishaps. Nine times out of ten where the person getting shaved receives a nickel and lays the blame on the barber he should thank the wielder of the razor that it was no worse. The probabilities are that it was quick action by the barber that prevented a bad cut. A slight nick often would have been a case for the doctor or coroner were it not for the watchfulness of the barber. Here yesterday I happened to draw blood from a young fellow's face near his ear, and he made a great fuss about it until I showed him that it was only the sudden withdrawal of the razor which resulted in the slight nick that prevented him losing a good part of his ear. Then he was grateful and thanked me besides promising to be more "Butthe worst accidentI ever saw in a barber shop occurred while I was working in a small town inthe west.NOneofthepatronsoftheplacewasabusinessmanwhose8-year-olddaughterwaslyingatthepointofdeath.Herfatherputinmostofhistimeatherbedside.OnewhemadexhaustedthroughlackofsleepthatbethefallasleepimmediatelyafterhehadtakenhisseatinthechairnexttotheonebehindwhichIwasatwork."

The Story of One Shown on the New York Exchange. There is a story still told to visitors to the New York Cotton Exchange which always amuses its tellers quite as much as its hearers. It concerns a specimen of the cotton A COTTON PLANT. The Story of One Shown on the New York Exchange. There is a story still told to visitors to the New York Cotton Exchange which always amuses its tellers quite as much as its hearers. It concerns a very superb specimen of the cotton plant which was brought into the exchange one October morning years ago and placed in the center of the pit around which gather every day the men who buy and sell millions of bales of the white staple every month. There had been bad weather in Texas that season, with reports of irreparable damage to the crop, but this superplant, laden with bolls throughout its six feet of height and coming, as it did, from Waco, in the most important cotton section of the Lone Star State, was exhibited as conclusive proof that the stories of a ruined crop were certainly false. All New York's big cotton operators came to look at it and to admire it, and most of them remained to sell a few thousand bales. "If that is what Waco can produce," they said, "the Texas crop alone will be big enough to put cotton down a cent or two per pound." Late in the day, however, there strolled into the exchange a shrewd old farmer from one of the cotton states east of the Mississippi. He had heard of six foot cotton plants from Texas, and he wanted to see one. A single look at this specimen was sufficient. "Humbug," he said. "That plant is made of wax, and it grew in South Fifth avenue." And so it proved. The hoax had demonstrated what its authors asserted, that very few people in New York, even among cotton brokers, would know a cotton plant if they saw one—New York Mall and Express. How the Oak Will Grow. There are trees which would seem to substantiate the theory of some scientists that there is no reason why a tree should ever die unless destroyed by unfavorable conditions or accident. The oak, for example, will live as a sapling for ages until given opportunity for growth. There is an old saying to the effect that if a pine forest is cut down an oak forest will grow, and this is said to be literally true. Many of the acorns carried into the pine woods by birds and squirrels are left to sprout in the ground. As the tiny saplings grow browsing natives of the forest shades nibble off their tender leaves. Again and again new leaves are put forth, only to serve as food for hungry deer or moose or other marauding creatures. And so, hidden from sunlight, deprived, as it would appear, of every essential life, the little plants live on, and when at last the pines are felled and the sunlight reaches them they begin their era of growth.

Well shooters spin great yarns of their experiences, and the stories are of the hair raising order. Well shooters generally are fatalists to a considerable degree in their belief, and it is probably one reason why they do not fear the fluid. They state that when one would think it was the most dangerous the explosive is the safest. The smallest drop can be placed on an anvil and struck by the heaviest sledge hammer, and the hammer will bound back over the shoulder of the striker, no matter how much he may try to hold it. Some claim that it will tear the arm off, but this is exaggeration. Transporting the explosive from a magazine to a well is not as dangerous as timid people think, according to the shooters. It is transported in square cans such as are used for varnish. In preparing for shooting a well, a long tin shell is suspended in the tubing, and the shooter pours the fluid in as if it was water. It is not unusual for 200 quarts to be in a well shooter's wagon on one trip. A slight leak in a can may be touched off by friction and explode the entire load. If it should explode in the center of a town, every building would be reduced instantly to debris.—Indianapolis Journal.

It was a Maine graveyard, and the fence thereof was in a most disreputable condition. Some of the neighbors were trying to start a movement to put a new fence around the cemetery, and it was meeting with general approval till the caustic wit of Darlus Howard was aroused. "What for?" he inquired. "What's the need of fencing the graveyard? There ain't no one inside that wants to come out, and I'm darn sure there ain't any one outside that wants to get in. So what's the need of the fence?" And the fence was not built till folk had ceased to chuckle over the thrust of Darlus—Lewiston Journal. Orphans. ANAHEIM, Cal., April 4, 1900.
