ZERMAN & ADAMS ADAMS ADAMS CURE SICK HEADACHE CONSULTATION BUSINESS BY PEPSI PUFFY THE BLOOD 10' X 8' ADAMS ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA; THURSDAY. NOVEMBER 21, 1901. Editorial Note and Comment Hanging on to the coattails of Tommy Flint, on the occasion of his swinging around the circle in Orange county, some days ago, was one R. Q. Wickham, once a resident of this county, now a hanger-on in the purlieus of Los Angeles. Wickham seems now to be a member of Flint's menage, and is probably in the pay of that gentleman. He occupied his time while here in extending the glad hand to those who permitted him to come near them—not to those of his numerous creditors whose scrutinizing glances he succeeded in eluding. Wickham applied to Gov. Gage for a job, and, failing to receive it, counts himself in the camp of any one opposed to that gentleman. He is represented as having said recently in Los Angeles that he could "swing the Orange county delegation" in the next Republican State convention to whichever candidate he chose. We desire to say that this preposterous person had better pay the bills left by him in Orange county on the occasion of his skipping out, between two suns, some years ago, before plumming himself with such a violent statement. Wickham was known as a standing joke in Orange county during his residence here—he was harmless until his dead-beating propensities made him more of a knave than a fool. This man swing the Orange county delegation! Perish the thought! But what a liar he must be! brother. He will go way back and sit down. When he opens his mouth about something he knows nothing whatever, he amuses—he is worse, he splits both sides. ANAHEIM has visions of a bright future, now that a branch of the Battle Creek sanitarium will locate there. Hooray for Anaheim, any way!—L. A. Times. Sure thing! Sure thing! ARIZONA'S PLEA FOR STATEHOOD. Governor Murphy Urgently Recommends That the Territory Be Admitted as a State. N. O. Murphy, the Governor of Arizona, in his annual report for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1901, urgently recommends that the Territory be admitted into the Union as a State, and says that, while for more than a decade there has been a unanimity of sentiment on the subject, and the agitation to obtain recognition has been continued before Congress from year to year, the people of the Territory were never before so generally and earnestly aroused on the question of Statehood. Gov. Murphy believes that the prospects for success are better now than ever before, and feels that the earnest work of years will tell. He says the people of the East have learned more about the Territory during the last two years than in all its previous history, and that they have become sufficiently informed concerning the citizenship, resources and capabilities of the people of Arizona to consent to their admission into the Union. He adds: "It is contended that if at any time there were reasons of partisan or expediency for our exclusion, these reasons no longer exist. And always it has been urged very properly that under no circumstances should partisan considerations prevent justice, and it is not believed that broad-minded" VARIETIES OF WALNUTS New Placentia Nut Said to Be Superior to All Others—Different Kinds of Nuts. J. W. Mills, foreman of the University sub-station near Pomona, exhibited a sketch of the behavior of walnut varieties, chiefly on the basis of stationary servations. Walnuts were discussed at the meeting of the Pomona Farm Club, and samples of the largest Free varieties were exhibited, the nuts being come from the Pomona Experiment Station. The extremely large size and fine appearance of the sample created much comment, and numerous inquiries have since come in, asking where the trees can be secured. The varieties exhibited at the club meet were fair samples, and from the meat of the fruit as seen, there seemed to no doubt that they were the best varieties to plant. When other features of the variety are taken into consideration, there is considerable doubt that point. The varieties exhibit were not recommended for planting. Bijou is a large, irregular shank nut. The shell is soft an easily broken with the hand. The ibble through opening is sometimes so weak that the kernel is visible through the opening that is sometimes formed during drying. This allows worms toter and causes the kernel to become rancid when kept for some length time. There is also a porous core at the stem end, through which we easily find access when the rest of shell is all that can be desired. weakness at the stem end is with exception with this variety at the mona station. The kernel of the shell is all that can be desired. It is lax plump and fine flavored. The trunk dwarf when grafted on the Eas black walnut, but is very prolific its size. The foliage is dense stiff, affording better shade than of the Santa Barbara walnut. terous person had better pay the bills left by him in Orange county on the occasion of his skipping out, between two suns, some years ago, before plumming himself with such a violent statement. Wickham was known as a standing joke in Orange county during his residence here—he was harmless until his dead-beating propensities made him more of a knave than a fool. This man swing the Orange county delegation! Perish the thought! But what a liar he must be! The Los Angeles Express, speaking of a political smoker held in that bailiwick some evenings ago, rises to remark: Former State Senator Hubbell of Indiana, who is to be a candidate for the upper house of the State legislature in Orange county next year, was on hand, etc. Mr. Hubbell should trouble himself to be saved from his friends. First proclaimed a candidate for Congress from the Eighth district, he was next switched off to an aspirant for the State senatorship in San Bernardino, and not so long ago was trotted out for the assembly from that county. Now that he is named for Senator Caldwell’s place—that’s too much, by three quarters. Mr. Hubbell is not, in the first place, a resident of Orange county—they say at San Bernardino he is not a resident of that county, but of Los Angeles, where he is said to be engaged in the practice of the law. However, if his non-residence does not bar him from the State senatorship from this county, perhaps the fact that there is no vacancy might—quen sabe? We nominate him for Collector of the Port of San Diego, in place of Bowers. What say, Gen. Otis? CAP’N WILLAPUS WOLLOPUS BOWERS of San Diego, speaking his little piece at the Santa Ana blowout some days ago, rose up on his hind legs and brayed as follows: Ex-Congressman W. W. Bowers of San Diego, just previous to the Senator’s leaving, in the course of his toast, “Southern California.” said that, while this was no time or place to talk politics, yet he desired to say that he believed Santa Ana had as its guest today the next Governor of California. And, in this connection, he also wanted to say that, after his election, there would be one more elected, and then possibly one more; that would be all. After that it would be the Governor of Southern California. This allusion to the possible division of the State within the next six years was greeted with hearty applause. Willapus Wollopus is that which amuses. The State divisionists, Gen. Citizen this dark lantern San Diego. the East have learned more about the Territory during the last two years than in all its previous history, and that they have become sufficiently informed concerning the citizenship, resources and capabilities of the people of Arizona to consent to their admission into the Union. He adds: “It is contended that if at any time there were reasons of partisanship or expediency for our exclusion, these reasons no longer exist. And always it has been urged very properly that under no circumstances should partisan considerations prevent justice, and it is not believed that broad-minded statesmen will permit them longer to have weight. Our people consider that they are justified in demanding admission on every ground of right. The showing as to population, civilization, wealth, education, Americanism and resources, developed and undeveloped, constitutes an argument which is unanswerable.” Despite the fact that the census figures place the population of Arizona at 126,212, Gov. Murphy says that the Territory has a population of 135,000. He says that injustice was done by the census enumerators to a number of towns, one of which, Bisbee, in Cochise county, with a population of 5,000, was not included in the census tables because it was not an incorporated place. The total assessed valuation of the taxable property in the Territory in 1901 was $38,853,831, the net increase for the year being $5,071,365, largely accounted for by the increased valuation of mines. Battle With Rattlesnake. With its venomous fangs protruding and sounding a sharp warning signal, an escaped rattlesnake of the Lincoln park zoo in Chicago charged a hundred men, women and children who had crowded into the animal house to watch the transfer of six snakes and seven gila monsters from their cages to temporary quarters. The biggest and most dangerous serpent of the lot—a diamond-backed rattler, measuring 64 feet in length—broke away during the transfer and for a moment the crowd of spectators stood terrified in the area with the liberated reptile. Then suddenly a panic seized the crowd and they rushed for the door farthest away from the danger. In less than three minutes the building was cleared and the animal keeper was left alone to do battle with the rattler. For ten minutes he engaged single handed in one of the most exciting and dangerous encounters he has had as care-taker of the menagerie. He was armed with a blanket and warded off the attacks of the snake, as the latter, coiling again and again, lunged at its would-be captor. Once the reptile buried its long fang in his trouser's leg, but did not penetrate the flesh. The keeper finally succeeded in lassosing the fugitive with noose of the catching-rod. BUBBLES.

The Industry Is Again a Potent Factor in the Production of Wealth. Only six years have elapsed since the last fatal freeze in Florida destroyed most of the orange trees in that State. Florida had twice suffered from this calamity within a decade. It was feared that the days of orange growing there were at an end. It did not seem likely that growers would have the courage to plant new groves, liable to be destroyed in a night after the investment of much capital and labor. The growers did plant again, however, and this year's crop is a fine one. Mr. Stephen Powers, secretary of the Florida Horticultural Society, says that Florida will give the country this season about 1,000,000 boxes. Nearly a million trees have been planted within the past few years. Not more than half as many trees are yet in bearing, however, as were a source of profit before the last great freeze. Florida orange growers have had bitter experience and are profiting by it. Many scores of wealthy growers, and even poor men, are providing sheds and tents for the protection of their groves against frost. The most expensive methods of protecting cost from $400 to $1200 an acre, but it is found that even this large outlay pays with good management. Growers are also moving the area of cultivation further south, where no frost has ever reached. Groves are now flourishing on the edge of the Everglades in Dade county. The fertilizers and cultural systems used in the upper counties are also being used in the South. This southward movement has thus far been very successful, the results showing that there is nothing in the climate or soil of the new region which unfavorably influences the orange. The orange growers did fairly well in the years they were waiting for their new groves to come into bearing. They canned fruits of various kinds, raised stock and poultry, milk and eggs, and LOCAL JOTTINGS OF INTEREST School Report Prof. Little, principal of the public schools, hands us the following report of the schools for the month ending November 8, 1901: Av.

On account of the early shipment of oranges from California this year, the Mexican exportation of oranges from Guadalajara and other points in the interior is over for the season. It is estimated that the export trade this year from Mexico is at least 90 carloads short of what it was in 1900. Each year the shipments of oranges from California have been arriving earlier, with the result that the Mexican dealers are not finding a market for their product as in former years. Some are still being imported from the State of Sonora, but the shipments from that State are comparatively light. Weed Destroyers. The English sparrow has so few friends and so many enemies in this country, that it is pleasant to find some one who has had a good word to say for him. The "Year Book" of the Department of Agriculture, recently issued, contains some interesting information about the sturdy little alien, derived from a careful study of the food habits of these birds. With all his faults, the English sparrow does some good by assisting in the work of destroying the seeds of and causes the kernel to become when kept for some length of time. There is also a porous core at the stem end, through which worms find access when the rest of the nuts all that can be desired. This access at the stem end is without action with this variety at the Postation. The kernel of the nut that can be desired. It is large, tap and fine flavored. The tree is burf when grafted on the Eastern walnut, but is very prolific for size. The foliage is dense and affording better shade than that the Santa Barbara walnut tree, which has drooping foliage. This tree is valuable for inland situation, where the walnut is liable to scald during the hot summer days. Large-Fruited Praeparturien is a most identical with the Bijou, but that the tree has still more amobliage and affords as near a perfect rejection to the nuts from the sun as superhaps, ever be obtained through infection. The tree is much larger than that of the Bijou, but not so prolific. This variety blossoms late high to be absolutely out of danger of frost. It is also late in ripening, but is against it. The nut has the weaknesses as the above named bettity. Both of these varieties of tree have irregular shapes, which determ from their appearance. This is not noticeable when a quantity is at once. The second generation of Praeparen is somewhat of an improvement the above two in one respect. The trees are large, and of handsome and regular shape. It also has the weak attack at the stem end, which admits the trems and makes them poor keepers. It is a late bloomer and ripens late. The foliage is ample and, like the two named varieties, has leaves that heavy and stiff, shading the nuts which better than the Santa Barbara tree does. All of the above varieties are more acceptible to the blight that attacks nuts than is the Santa Barbara tree. The second generation of Praeparen may be an exception, but we do not prepared to say so yet. Where the sun strikes these large nuts they can much quicker than the smaller Santa Barbara. This is no doubt due to their being more succulent. They are later than the smaller nuts and don overtake them in size. When the night overtakes them, or the hot sun likes them during this period, their instruction is rapid. The Santa Barbara soft shell growing beside them produced 50 per cent more nuts in pounds. There were more sunburned nuts than on the larger varieties, and less blight. The Santa Barbara trees are much larger than the other varieties named. As far as we know, there is nothing superior to the last named variety for general culture. The new nut that originated at Placentia, and has been given that name, is said to be superior to the Santa Barbara soft shell. Mills cannot say as to this. It is said to be stable enough in blooming to be safe from frost. It appears to be precocious, as we have seed the trees bearing when also moving the area of cultivation, further south, where no frost has ever reached. Groves are now flourishing on the edge of the Everglades in Dade county. The fertilizers and cultural systems used in the upper counties are also being used in the South. This southward movement has thus far been very successful, the results showing that there is nothing in the climate or soil of the new region which unfavorably influences the orange. The orange growers did fairly well in the new groves to come into bearing. They canned fruits of various kinds, raised stock and poultry, milk and eggs, and shipped melons, canteloupes, pineapples, strawberries and vegetables to northern markets. They did not handle as much money as before their orange trees were killed; but they lived very comfortably and now have before them the bright prospect of a complete renewal of their former prosperity as raisers of Florida oranges. Truck Farming. No longer ago than 1847, a clerk on a Charleston boat chanced to speak to some friends in New York of the fresh vegetables to be bad in the Southern city. It was winter, and his statement was challenged by one of the listeners. On his next trip North, therefore, he brought a basket of vegetables, including two boxes of strawberries. They were placed on exhibition in a shop window and attracted endless attention. That was the beginning of the business of truck-farming in the United States. Until the middle of the century the fruits and vegetables raised on nearly all farms were intended for home consumption, or for sale in markets close at hand. To-day California fruit and vegetables go all over the world, and the Northern cities live all winter on garden produce raised in Florida or the Gulf States. Many of the improvements now offered by the railroads are directly due to the handling of perishable agricultural products. Routes have been shortened, cars ventilated, refrigeration provided, and the number and speed of trains increased, until vegetables are now landed in good condition a thousand miles from where they were raised. Intensive rather than extensive farming is the watchword of the producer of garden truck. The average size of the farms is only about fifteen acres; but some of the ten-acre plots are so well cultivated that they produce two thousand dollars' worth of truck in a season. In the neighborhood of Boston much of the land used for this purpose is under glass, and the soil in which the vegetables are started is carefully sterilized by steam. The expense is, of course, great, but the extra quality of the product and the higher price at which it sells, make the profits larger than in any other part of the country. The services of electricity, even, have been enlisted, and many of the green houses are lighted at night by large lamps, by which an improvement of fifteen per cent in the growth of the plants and of ten per cent in the quality is secured. To the money value of the truck- Weed Destroyers.

The "Year Book" of the Department of Agriculture, recently issued, contains some interesting information about the sturdy little alien, derived from a careful study of the food habits of these birds. "With all his faults, the English sparrow does some good by assisting in the work of destroying the seeds of noxious plants. Flocks of thousands of these birds may be seen every autumn on the lawns of the Department of Agriculture feeding on crab-grass and yard-grass, two weeds which crowd out good turf-making grasses. The English sparrow also deserves credit for destroying seeds of the dandelion, which is a prolific weed throughout the United States. "In the destruction of dandelion seeds the English sparrow is aided by several native birds, chiefly the song-sparrow, but so far as observed the native birds do not usually cut open dandelions, but feed upon those left by the English sparrow. "In summarizing this chapter on birds as weed destroyers, Doctor Judd, an assistant in the biological survey, asserts that not less than fifty different birds serve man in this capacity, and that the noxious plants which they help to eradicate number more than sixty species. During the cooler half of the year, almost only food of many species of birds consists of the seeds of well-known and widely distributed weeds. "Goldfinches destroy weeds which are not touched by other birds, continuing their attacks chiefly to one group of plants, many of the members of which are serious pests; but the birds which accomplish most as weed destroyers are the native sparrows that flock to the weed patches in early autumn, and remain until late spring. During cold weather they require a good deal of food to keep warm, and because of their gregarious habits they are efficient consumers of seeds of ragweed, pigeon-grass, crab-grass, birdweed, purslane, smartweed and pigweed. In short, these birds are little weeders whose work is seldom noticed but always felt." Getting Thin is all right, if you are too fat; and all wrong, if too thin already. Fat, enough for your habit, is healthy; a little more, or less, is no great harm. Too fat, consult a doctor; too thin, persistently thin, no matter what cause, take In selecting trees for planting, it is essential to success to secure trees that are budded from select trees. There is as much difference between individual fruit trees grown from nuts as there is between fruit trees grown from seed. They Took the Frame. Friend (to aspiring young artist)—I say, Daub, I suppose you heard about our house being broken into last night? Artist—No. I hadn't heard; did they take much? Friend—a couple of watches, some silver, a suit of clothes, and it's a funny thing, but you know that picture you painted for me? They cut it out of the frame and— Artist(interrupting, excitedly)—Hurrah, you don't say so! Why, my fortune's made! Friend—and went off with the frame. The Exsitement Not Over.

Olmsted, Le Roy, New York. In the neighborhood of Boston much of the land used for this purpose is under glass, and the soil in which the vegetables are started is carefully sterilized by steam. The expense is, of course, great, but the extra quality of the product and the higher price at which it sells, make the profits larger than in any other part of the country. The services of electricity, even, have been enlisted, and many of the greenhouses are lighted at night by large arc lamps, by which an improvement of fifteen per cent in the growth of the plants and of ten per cent in the quality is secured. To the money value of the truck-farms must be added the greater service they perform in placing fresh vegetables within the reach of almost every family, even in winter. That is a contribution both to general comfort and to public health. Tree-Planting Boom. The great apple crop of Tacoma and the high prices prevailing for all fruit has started a tree-planting boom, similar to that of early '90, when the possibilities of horticulture in the State first generally became known. This year the fruit crop has brought about $2,000,000 into the State of Washington, and scores of individual farmers and horticulturalists have made fortunes of from $3000 to $12,000 each from orchards ranging in size from 40 to 200 acres. State Horticultural Commissioner Van Holderbeke announces that fully a quarter million fruit trees will be planted by Washington orchardists during this fall. He estimates that 100,000 trees were planted during October, of which nearly half were set out in Chelan and Okanogan counties, heretofore noted chiefly for their mineral productions. The largest acreage is being planted in western Washington and comprises hardy winter apples and prunes. In eastern Washington most fruit-growers do their planting in the spring.
