ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA. THURSDAY. SEPTEMBER 5, 1901. FORESTS AND IRRIGATION. Discussion of These Subjects at the Meeting of the Forestry Association. The American Forestry Association, in annual meeting at Denver last week, discussed a number of subjects of interest to Southern California. A paper read by F. H. Newell, hydrographer of the Geological Survey, explained the benefits of the water supply of the forest reserves. He said: "Full development of the resources of the United States, especially in the arid west, rests upon a complete utilization of the water for irrigation, power and municipal, as well as domestic supply. The conservation of the waters and the protection from pollution, both natural and artificial, rests largely upon the proper treatment of the forests at the head waters of the streams. There can be no question as to the beneficial influence of these forests, although the extent of this influence may have been and still is open to investigation and discussion. The forests, with the accumulation of vegetation upon the ground, serve to break the force of the rain and regulate the runoff; excessive soil erosion is to a large extent prevented, and the waters drained from the forests are, as a rule, free from suspended mineral matter. "The Government has set about the protection of the forests upon the head waters of streams of the West, and Congress has under consideration legislation tending to promote the construction of large reservoirs within or adjacent to the forest reserves. There are to be found upon the head waters of the streams many valleys whose outlets can be closed by a dam of moderate height, holding back the water from melting gradual destruction of our forests. In picturing graphically the results of deforestation in the East, Mr. Maxwell said: "Famine stalks through India because of deforestation; floods devastate China for the same reason. Look at Northern Africa, at Persia, at Mesopotamia, at Transcaspia, and heed their warning; once fertile and fruitful, now arid uninhabitable wastes; they stand as a warning that we should heed. Will we do so, or will we go on wasting millions while we watch our forest areas gradually destroyed?" Mr. Maxwell made a strong plea for the appropriation of adequate moneys to establish a thoroughly competent patrol for the protection of the forests against fires. Concluding his remarks, he said: "I was asked to speak of irrigation and the forest. I have done so, although I have not used the word 'irrigation.' The forests are the source of all irrigation. We cannot irrigate without water. We cannot have water without forests. If we do not preserve them, we will have no irrigation." T. P. Lukens of Pasadena, Cal., read an interesting paper on "The Reforestation of the Watershed." He said: "That the depletion of forests causes extremes of floods and drought is shown by the present condition in Southern California, as contrasted with the same area prior to the inroads of unrestricted sheep and cattle raising, wasteful methods of lumbering and destroying firea Originally the mountains and valleys were well forested, and the streams flowed continuously. The effect of these abuses is seen in the decreased flow of streams and the rapid deterioration of the originally productive soil. The remedies proposed are the absolute prohibition of grazing, except within fenced areas, the employment of rangeland destruction of our forests. In picturing graphically the results of deforestation in the East, Mr. Maxwell said: "Famine stalks through India because of deforestation; floods devastate China for the same reason. Look at Northern Africa, at Persia, at Mesopotamia, at Transcaspia, and heed their warning; once fertile and fruitful, now arid uninhabitable wastes; they stand as a warning that we should heed. Will we do so, or will we go on wasting millions while we watch our forest areas gradually destroyed?" FACTS CONCERNING SCALE INFESTATION Value of Pruning as a Means of Preventing Injury Cannot be too Strongly Urged. It is just as true in the case of the ange and lemon as it is with o plants, that negligent cultivation improper care, or any unfavorable conditions of climate which weaken vitality and vigor of the tree, endage the presence and multiplicationthe insect enemies. On the other hand, there is something in the way of growth and condition of the sap healthy tree, living under these conditions, which is repellant to its attack; and it will be almost inviolently found that the unhealthy tree is one first severely infested with some insects or mites. This does not mean that vigorous, healthy trees will not attacked, but on such trees insects sill be less apt to multiply abundantly and effect the complete investment that is often noted in the case of a worm or improperly nourished plant. The fore, as a means of protection against scale insects, a proper system of cervation and pruning is highly important. The value of pruning as a means preventing scale-insect injury can be too strongly urged. Scale insects thrive best where they are protected from direct sunlight and free movement of the air; hence, trees of dgrowth, unpruned, are almost certain to have their centers, at least, so A well-opened and pruned tree which free access is given to light air, is much less apt to be badly tacked than a dense, thick-headed tree at the interior of which is entirely shaded and protected and the moisture hath thus furnishing the conditions favourable for the well being of such trees. The image contains a section of a newspaper article discussing the protection of forests upon the head waters of streams in Western California. It highlights the importance of maintaining these water sources to prevent excessive soil erosion and protect the ecosystem. The article mentions that the Government has set about protecting the forests by setting rules against suspended mineral matter. The text also discusses the impact of climate change on forest health, including increased snowfall and drought conditions. It emphasizes the need for sustainable management practices to preserve these resources. The article includes several paragraphs with headings such as "One of the sources of anxiety and uncertainty in regard to these reservoirs is the matter of silt or sediment." This suggests that the content is focused on environmental issues related to water quality and forest health. The final paragraph discusses the importance of preserving natural resources for future generations, highlighting the need for sustainable land use practices. The image does not contain any images or illustrations. It is a text block from a newspaper article. older States by increasing production without an appropriate addition to consumption. This he held to be a fallacy. The reclamation of the arid States, Mr. Fulton said, would create the largest markets for the products of the factory and the forest, the shop and the warehouse, of New England and the Middle States, that could be developed in the world. If foreign trade is worth working for, surely domestic trade is twice or thrice as valuable, for by it we keep at home the benefits that accrue, both in buying and in selling, in making and in using. S. J. Holsinger of Phoenix, Ariz., discussed the subject, "The Boundary Line Between the Forest and the Desert." Mr. Holsinger explained the relation of forests to the deserts of the Southwest, particularly the dwarfed forest growth, including the shrubbery of canyons, foothills and streams, as a conservator of moisture, a barrier to erosion, nature's safeguard for natural reservoirs which feed springs and retain normal conditions of moisture in valleys, and as an element to a system of artificial water storage for the reclamation of arid lands. The general question of the preservation and reproduction of the forests is gaining a prominent place in public interest, but the functions of the brush land—the scrub oak, cedar, mesquite and chaparral—are not so generally realized. These are as important in their field as the forests which yield commercial timber. The forest cover of the high mountains conserves moisture and resists erosion; the shrubbery of the foothills and valleys fastens the silt and debris which escape the grasp of the spruce and the pine. The paper of George H. Maxwell of Chicago was entitled "Irrigation and the Forests." Mr. Maxwell sounded a note of warning, condemning as "fatally, criminally and wickedly blind" the indifference with which we were watching the A Few Pointers. The recent statistics of the number of deaths show that the large majority die with consumption. This disease may commence with an apparently harmless cough which can be eured instantly by Kemp's Balsam for the Throat and Lungs, which is guaranteed to cure and relieve all cases.

Well-marked periods of destruction abundance separated by periods of this may be noted the epidemic ferred to by Hubbard as prevalent throughout the entire orange, lea and olive districts along the shore of the Mediterranean from Italy to Spain during the first decade of the present century, to the consternation of these habitants, who were dependent upon these fruits. This unusual scale demic subsided, however, and was largely of itself, efficient remediation that date being practically unknown. In the same way in this county scale infestation varies considerably from year to year. The fluted scale California, increased enormously during the first ten or fifteen years, threatened the very existence of citrus cultures. Thanks, however, the Australian ladybird, and doubt also, to the fact that many native pecious and parasitic insects became quainted with it, it is no longer feared in California. The long scale in Florida also, was much more injurious than it been since. In 1896 the black seas was very abundant and destructive; the orange districts about Rivers Partly owing to adverse climatic conditions, and partly owing also to malarial enemies; this insect has also almost disappeared from this district, which now one of the least affected by such insects. These facts are merely cited to give the citrus-grower whatever encouragement they may offer, but not in least with the idea of belittling for instant the need of remedial operation for the prompt and immediate control of scale insects whenever and wherever they appear. While therefore, Drying preparations simply do not dry catarrh; they dry up the secretion which adhere to the membrane and decompose causing a far more serious trouble to the ordinary form of catarrh.

On the other hand, there is something in the vigor growth and condition of the sap of a healthy tree, living under the best conditions, which is repellant to insects; and it will be almost invariably that the unhealthy tree is the first severely infested with scale insects or mites.

There is a means of protection against insects, a proper system of cultivation and pruning is highly important. Value of pruning as a means of attaining scale-insect injury cannot strongly urged. Scale insects best where they are protected direct sunlight and free movement of the air; hence, trees of dense canopy, unpruned, are almost certain live their centers, at least, scaly. Full-opened and pruned tree, in free access is given to light and much less apt to be badly atrophied than a dense, thick-headed tree, exterior of which is entirely shaded protected and the moisture held, furnishing the conditions most favorable for the well-being of scale insects. may reasonably anticipate the necessity of yearly control of one sort or another, we may yet hope that any unusual abundance, perhaps exceeding our efforts at control, may not necessarily represent a permanent, but rather a temporary condition. The culture of citrus fruits in this country, limited as it is in the main to two widely separated localities, Florida and the Gulf region on the one hand; and the Pacific coast region on the other, has presented in the past, perhaps more than at present, a distinct variation for the two regions in the character of the scale and other insect enemies. This is very naturally to be expected in view of the difference in climatic conditions exhibited by these two regions, one having practically a desert climate with scant rains in winter, depending almost entirely on irrigation, and the other a very moist climate with frequent rainfalls and a very high rate of humidity. Until recent years, the scale insect enemies of distinct importance in California have been limited to very few species, notably the black scale and the California red scale, together with the so-called "yellow" variety of the latter, and prior to the introduction of the Australian ladybird, the fluted scale. In Florida and the Gulf districts the species of greatest importance are the long and purple scales, the Florida red scale, the chaff scale and the white fly, the latter closely resembling but not representing a true scale insect. The rust mite and the six-spotted mite, long known in Florida only, have in recent years been carried to California, and are slowly invading the southern citrus districts of that State. The other insect enemies of the orange and lemon, also formerly characteristic of one or two of these two regions are rare. SPEAKS HIGHLY OF FILIPINOS Congressman Hull Advises Young Men to Continue Westward. Congressman Hull of Iowa has just returned from a five months' tour of China, Japan and the Philippines. The islands were his principal places of investigation, and he returned much impressed with the future possibilities of these new possessions of Uncle Sam. In speaking of his observations, he says he does not think that the Filipinos are at present fitted for admission to citizenship. It would only be necessary for one generation to grow up under peaceful conditions, to so materially change the existing state of affairs that the applicants will be qualified to participate in the privileges of American citizenship. "The Filipinos are a wonderful people," says the congressman, "and their islands are veritable mines of richness. The mineral, agricultural and timber resources of these new possessions of ours constitute a field for commercial enterprise that is practically unlimited. Of course, the present conditions of brigandage make it exceedingly unsafe for people to settle in the islands away from the protection of the military posts. The formation of the country and the almost impregnable fastnesses of the mountains make the hunting down of these brigands an exceedingly difficult task. But the people, or the great majority—nine out of ten of them—desire peace and safety and are doing all they can to help the troops attain this end. Consequently it will not be a great many years before one can travel in safety through the greater part of all the islands." Of course it is impossible to make an Anglo-Saxon out of an Oriental. therefore the Filipino will probably... and pruning is highly important. The value of pruning as a means of mitigating scale-insect injury cannot be strongly urged. Scale insects best where they are protected direct sunlight and free movement of the air; hence, trees of dense, unpruned, are almost certain to have their centers, at least, scaly. Full-opened and pruned tree, in free access is given to light and so much less apt to be badly atterted than a dense, thick-headed tree, exterior of which is entirely shaded protected and the moisture held, furnishing the conditions most suitable for the well-being of scale insects. As a general proposition, thereight, air and dryness are imminent scale insects, and, conversely, and dense habit of growth, prog from air currents and holding force, are favorable. truth of this is often exhibited by citrus districts of the Pacific. Very frequently the high temperature and dryness of the long sumif allowed to have full action on opened and pruned trees, is as devise to scale insects as would be a high treatment with an insecticide some cases killing the scales most completely. Similarly, scale insects are more apt to be abundant doublesome in moist, warm rehan in regions with even higher feature, but with a very much rate of humidity. In general, more, the citrus orchards in Florinica and the West Indies suffer than do those in California. On Pacific coast, also, the orchards in ocean districts are much more be infested than those farther with greater elevation and en-a lower degree of humidity, occasional much higher summer features. The black scale in Cali-has, in places, been almost exterminated by the temperature lag for several days above 100° F., similar effect is noted with other areas also. In most insects injurious to culti-plants a periodicity is noted in occurrence in injurious numbers. Case of subtropical species, like male insects affecting citrus plants, periodicity is not always as marked with insects affecting deciduous and field crops in temperate latitudes. While it is true that scale inhave always occurred more or on citrus trees in the Old World, wherever these plants are culti-investigation will undoubtedly that there have been more or less marked periods of destructive disease separated by periods of erotic scarcity. In illustration may be noted the epidemic re- to by Hubbard as prevailing without the entire orange, lemon live districts along the shores of Mediterranean from Italy to Spain in the first decade of the present year to the consternation of the inputs, who were dependent upon fruits. This unusual scale episi-subsided, however, and very of itself, efficient remedies atte being practically unknown. the same way in this country, In Florida and the Gulf districts the species of greatest importance are the long and purple scales, the Florida red scale, the chaff scale and the white fly, the latter closely resembling but not representing a true scale insect. The rust mite and the six-spotted mite, long known in Florida only, have in recent years been carried to California, and are slowly invading the southern citrus districts of that State. The other insect enemies of the orange and lemon, also formerly characteristic of one or the other of these two regions, are rapidly becoming common to both, although in point of injurious abundance the distinction between the two regions still, in the main, holds. The black scale occurs in Florida, but is not troublesome at all; and the California red scale has not, apparently, been able to establish itself in Florida, but is very troublesome in some of the West Indian islands. The fluted scale, introduced in one locality in Florida in 1893, has spread locally very slowly, not appearing elsewhere so far as known. On the other hand, the distinctive Florida scales have all been taken to California and are slowly establishing themselves, but so far, have not assumed the injurious role in California which they play in Florida. The damage occasioned by scale insects is of two kinds. The first and principal injury is the extraction of the juices of the plant, the scale insect in its relation to its food plant being a mere pumping machine, which is continually absorbing the sap from its host. In a general way the scale insect is a mere sack with sucking-mouth parts, the latter consisting of a long slender proboscis, or beak, which is thrust deeply into whatever portion of the plant the insect may be resting upon—bark, leaf or fruit. While the amount of sap extracted by a single insect is very small when multiplied by millions it greatly depletes the juices of the plant. Very often the amount taken up by the scale insect is greatly in excess of its own needs, and is excreted in the form of the so-called "honey-dew," which accumulates in droops and spreads out over the bark or leaf in the form of a sticky liquid. This liquid attracts ants in great numbers, which very often gives rise to the belief that the ants are depredating on the plant instead of, as the fact is, merely being attracted by the honeydew, which they are actively collecting. The second form of injury caused by scale insects results largely from this honey-dew excretion, which not only spreads over the leaves and fruit and prevents the normal respiration of the leaves and the development of the plant, but a black fungus develops in the sweetish liquid. And ultimately thickly covers the leaves, twigs and fruit, still further stifling the plant and reducing the market value of its products. It very often happens, therefore, that the grower is more anxious to avoid the presence of this fungus which follows the scale insect attack than the injury by the scale insect itself. Associated with the damage due to A city minister was recently handed a notice to be read from his pulpit. Accompanying it was a clipping from a newspaper bearing upon the matter. The clergyman started to read the extract and found that it began: "Take Kemp's Balsam, the best cough cure." marked periods of destructive ance separated by periods of operative scarcity. In illustration it may be noted the epidemic recurrence by Hubbard as prevailing without the entire orange, lemon districts along the shores of Mediterranean from Italy to Spain in the first decade of the present year, to the consternation of the invents, who were dependent upon fruits. This unusual scale epipsubsided, however, and very of itself, efficient remedies at the being practically unknown. The same way in this country, infestation varies considerably ear to year. The fluted scale, in nia, increased enormously during the first ten or fifteen years, and enured the very existence of the cultures. Thanks, however, to Australian ladybird, and, doubtless the fact that many native predaand parasitic insects became acceded with it, it is no longer feared california. The long scale in Florida, was much more injurious in last years of its activity than it has since. In 1896 the black scale very abundant and destructive in range districts about Riverside. owing to adverse climatic condition and partly owing also to naturismies, this insect has also almost caused from this district, which is one of the least affected by scale The facts are merely cited to give rus-grower whatever encouragethey may offer, but not in the need of remedial operations to prompt and immediate control the insects whenever and wherever appear.

It very often happens, there-fore, that the grower is more anxious to avoid the presence of this fungus which follows the scale insect attack than the injury by the scale insect itself. Associated with the damage due to the absorption of the juices of the plant by the scale insect is very often a poisoning of the plant itself caused by the irritation excited by the beak of the insect or by some liquid injected by the beak. In the case of the orange, lemon and other citrus fruits, this injury is not so apparent as it is with the scale insects attacking deciduous plants, but it undoubtedly occurs with citrus plants—to some extent, at least. Another reason for the extreme injury wrought by the scale insects arises from the fact that they are active the whole year round in climates where citrus trees can be grown. Their greatest activity and most rapid breeding period is during the summer months, and especially from May to August, or, with very little check, until October or November. In the winter season, or rainy season, they are more dormant, and while breeding continues to a greater or less extent, it is at a very much lessened rate. The natural predaceous enemies of scale insects of greatest importance, are various species of ladybirds, as illustrated by the Australian ladybirds imported to control the fluted and black scales, and a great many native species, which are very effective agents in the control of these and other scale insects.
