BILISHED 1870 DISEASES OF VINES, AND RESISTANT STOCKS Ailments Affecting Vineyards in Different Sections of the State—Value of New Hybrids From the Berkeley experiment station we have received the report of Prof. Twight on the Division of Viticulture. The Professor's report upon vine diseases will be perused with interest by our readers this morning: During the years 1903 and 1904, the investigation of the adaptation of resistant stocks has been carried on on our plants at Fresno and Pomona and on the new-established plots of the United States government. The great value of certain of the new hybrids imported has shown itself already, and their careful investigation will certainly bring valuable results. Some investigations have been started in the study of the Anaheim disease; the old grounds where the disease made its start in southern California have been inspected, as also the Santa Clara valley and the Upper Sacramento valley. Numerous samples have been collected and some microscopic and bacteriologic work commenced on them. The value of Lenoir stock, as announced by Prof. Newton B. Pierce, was looked into. I agree with Professor Pierce as to its value when cultivated as a direct producer, but find that when it has been grafted-over its value is not nearly as decided. I have investigations have been continued during the last vintage, and the results will be published shortly in bulletin form. With the coming of Professor Bioletti, we will be able to push all of these investigations, if we are given enough money to carry them through. It is to be hoped that the present legislature will be liberal with the vineyardists, for many serious troubles remain entirely untouched at present. One of the very important questions that will have to be thoroughly studied is the great prevalence of root rot, which I have found in most vineyard districts of the State. I must say, in conclusion, that one of the great drawbacks in the investigation of the vine disease is the great reluctance with which people furnish data. In some districts it is simply by going from vineyard to vineyard myself and hunting for diseased specimens that I can carry out my investigations. If I knew beforehand where to go, what route to cover, also the local observations of the owners, it would greatly help and save time. There seems to be a fear of publicity and the desire to keep quiet, so that if a trouble turns out to be serious the owner can sell out to a new comer before the knowledge of the conditions spreads. I hope that this attitude will change, so that we may work hand in hand with the vineyardists. A large proportion of the samples of diseased vines received during the last seasons were attacked by Anaheim disease, or by one of the two diseases we are actually investigating. The usual large number of vines with phylloxera on their roots were examined. AGRICULTURAL EDUCATION EXPANDS IN INTEREST Bills Before Legisfature Providing for Instruction on Elements of Agriculture in Public Schools In 1904 there were enrolled in public schools of California, 302,315 pupils distributed as follows: In the primary and gramman school 277,589, or 91.8 per cent. In the high schools, 21,449, or 7.1 per cent. In the University of California, 277, or 1.1 per cent. Agricultural education in the State is limited to instruction given in Agricultural Department of the University of California and at the California polytechnic school at San Diego Obiapo, no opportunity being given 299,038 pupils in the primary, grammar and high schools of the State (98.9 percent of the total enrollment) to study even the elements of agriculture. At the present time many of high schools of California are preparing students for commercial life; are preparing students for entrance to universities as future doctors, lawyers, teachers, etc. It is doubtful any one of the 162 high schools of State, even in agricultural district making a serious effort to prepare farmer for his special work, a w Some investigations have been started in the study of the Anaheim disease; the old grounds where the disease made its start in southern California have been inspected, as also the Santa Clara valley and the Upper Sacramento valley. Numerous samples have been collected and some microscopic and bacteriologic work commenced on them. The value of Lenoir stock, as announced by Prof. Newton B. Pierce, was looked into. I agree with Professor Pierce as to its value when cultivated as a direct producer, but find that when it has been grafted-over its value is not nearly as decided. I have started to make some hybrids from Lenoir and other varieties that may be of value; the point I am trying to determine is which of the parents is resistant in the Lenoir. During the summer of 1903 I started to investigate the trouble known in Sonoma county as black measles, or red-leaf disease. A good deal of microscopic work was done, but so far the cause was not found. It is certainly not the anthracnose, as some people have called it. It was decided this year to follow the disease from the very start, and with the financial help of the California Wine Association we were able to place Mr. O. Butler, an advanced student in the College of Agriculture, in the field. Plots were established in the northern, southeastern and southwestern portions of Sonoma county. On these plots experiments were made in spraying, and a weekly field investigation was kept up. Numerous samples were also collected by Mr. Butler and microscopic examination made; the soil and root system were carefully studied. The result of these investigations will be given in a separate report. Another disease which I am trying to follow up is prevalent all through the San Joaquin and Sacramento valleys. Some of the characters are: discoloration of leaf, with loss of green matter; shriveling of the edge of the leaf; disappearance of starch in the tissues, often a large amount of crystals taking the place of the starch. I have been taking samples of the vines and soils between Fresno and Sacramento, which are being examined, and I hope to be able to find the cause of this trouble, which is alarming the vineyardists. An extensive experiment has been conducted at Lodi to determine the value of some improvements in bench-grafting that have created a good deal of interest in European vine-growing countries. The work has been carried out in co-operation with Mr. Frank T. Swett of Martinez; the results will be published in bulletin form at the end of the season. In zymology some good data have been obtained from the work conducted during the last vintage at Geyserville, Sonoma county, in co-operation with the California Wine Association. The results of this preliminary investigation form the subject of Bulletin No. 159, issued in June, 1904. These seems to be a fear of publicity and the desire to keep quiet, so that if a trouble turns out to be serious the owner can sell out to a new comer before the knowledge of the conditions spreads. I hope that this attitude will change, so that we may work hand in hand with the vineyardists. A large proportion of the samples of diseased vines received during the last seasons were attacked by Anaheim disease, or by one of the two diseases we are actually investigating. The usual large number of vines with phylloxera on their roots were examined. Samples with root rot and also with mildew also are quite numerous. In looking over almost any vineyard in the fall or winter it is astonishing to see how little clean wood is found. It would certainly be of great benefit to give a winter spraying in such vineyards. This could be given with lime, salt and surphur, or better with a ten per cent solution of iron sulfate, copperas, the crystals being dissolved in one per cent sulfuric acid. A strong, five per cent, solution of copper sulfate might also be used. Iowans Picnic The Southern California Iowa association will have a picnic in Los Angeles, February 22, at Eastlake park to renew old and new acquaintances. All Iowans who may be in Southern California and their friends are cordially invited to attend. Coffee will be served free but everybody is expected to bring lunch. If February 22 happens to be a rainy day, the picnic will occur March 9. Death of W. B. Pitman W. B. Pitman, a resident of Placentia, died at San Jacinto springs on Tuesday of last week of a complication of diseases, after an illness of fifteen months. Mr. Pitman was a native of Kentucky, and had lived in Orange county for a number of years. He was aged 24 years, and before his illness gave promise of a successful and useful career. His wife, daughter of Mrs. J. K. Tuffree, and a young son survive him. The funeral was held Thursday afternoon from the residence of Wellborn Wallop in this city. Rev. A. B. Markle conducted burial services. Interment was in Anaheim cemetery. Storm Makes Them Happy Beet growers in the vicinity of the Los Alamitos sugar factory are happy over the recent storm. The total rainfall there up to Saturday was 6.32 inches, nearly all falling since the first of the year. A good crop of beets is assured. The demand for beet land is greater than the supply and every available acre will be planted as soon as the ground will permit. Repairs to the factory will now continue and in order that it may be in condition to withstand a hard and long run the coming season. Drs. Bert and Ida Menges-Boyd, dentists, have removed to 410 Mason Building corner 4th and Broadway, Los Angeles, Cal. Obispo, no opportunity being given 299,038 pupils in the primary, grammar and high schools of the State (98.9 percent of the total enrollment) to steer even the elements of agriculture. At the present time many of high schools of California are preparing students for commercial life; are preparing students for entrance to the universities as future doctors, lawyers, teachers, etc. It is doubtful any one of the 162 high schools of State, even in agricultural district making a serious effort to prepare farmer for his special work, a way that is surely of overshadowing importance to California. The whole trend of education in elementary and high schools of State is away from the farm noteworthy fact that at least 40 percent of the population of the State pends on the various forms of agriculture for a livelihood. During the last fiscal year the farmers' institutes conducted by the cultural department of the state university cost $7234 08, a small sum compared with the great good accomplished. If the State is justified in spending moneys for the development of agriculture through such work, it State not fully warranted in expecting an even smaller sum for the courageement of agricultural education in the common and high schools? An addition to the "already crowded course of study?" By no means under Section 1665 of the Political Council "Nature Study" is now a required object. Under the proposed law there requirement will be changed to "Natural Study with special reference to study of Agriculture." Senate bills Nos. 21, 49 and 52 included by Senator Muenter on June 9, 1905, provide for instruction in elements of agriculture in the community and high schools of California following are the essential features three bills: The work in "Nature Study including the elements of Agriculture" not mandatory. However, the proposed laws make it possible for any school in the State to incorporate in its course study training in the elements agriculture. At the present time such cities San Francisco, Los Angeles, Oakland and Stockton employ supervisors special teachers to supervise the wives in such special studies as drawing music, nature study, etc. The protected legislation will make it possible any county so desiring to employ supervisor of agriculture to direct work in the primary and gram schools of the county. In other counties are empowered (not compled) to appoint a supervisor of agriculture in the same manner in which cities now appoint supervisors. The appointment of a supervisor agriculture rests entirely with local authorities of the county county superintendent of schools appointing but only on petition from school trustees of the county teachers who have had special训 Good Health to the Children Children especially are fond of dainties, and the housekeeper must look carefully to their food. As good cake can be made only with good eggs, so also a cake that is healthful as well as dainty must be raised with a pure and perfect baking powder. Royal Baking Powder is indispensable in the preparation of the highest quality of food. It imparts that peculiar lightness, sweetness and flavor noticed in the finest cake, biscuit, doughnuts, crusts, etc., and what is more important, renders the food wholesome and agreeable to young and old.

NUMBER 17 CULTURAL EDUCATION EXPANDS IN INTEREST Before Legislature Program for Instruction on elements of Agriculture in Public Schools 1904 there were enrolled in the schools of California, 302,315 putributed as follows: the primary and grammar schools or 91.8 per cent. the high schools, 21,449, or 7.1 per cent. cultural education in the State used to instruction given in the cultural Department of the Uniliz of California and at the Calipolytechnic school at San Luis no opportunity being given the pupils in the primary, grammar high schools of the State (98.9 per percent) the total enrollment) to study the elements of agriculture. The present time many of the schools of California are preparents for commercial life; all preparing students for entrance to universities as future doctors, lawteachers, etc. It is doubtful if one of the 162 high schools of the seven in agricultural districts, is a serious effort to prepare the for his special work, a work usually of overshadowing impor- pronounced successes in Minnesota, in Nebraska, in Wisconsin, in Alabama and in other states. In Wisconsin, agricultural high schools receive state aid "not to exceed one-half the amount actually expended for instruction in each school." Since 1896, the legislature of Alabama has provided for the support of an agricultural high school in each of the nine congressional districts of that state. In the state normal schools of Missouri, student-teachers are required to take a full year's course in agriculture as an essential part of their training. Old Soldier's Sad End Charles E. Wolfley, a member of the soldiers' home at Santa Monica, committed suicide Wednesday night at the residence of A. C. Spalding, in West Anaheim, by taking strychnine. Wolfley had been a friend of Mr. Spalding for some years, and frequently made him long visits. For several days before his death he had been drinking heavily, and it is supposed he took his life in a fit of melancholy brought on by drinking. During the night members of the family heard him moving around and about 1:30 he called them in, saying he was dying. Dr. Bickford was sent for, but when he arrived the man was dead. A four-ounce bottle of strychnine, from which a large quantity had been taken, was found in the room, and there was also an unopened bottle of chloroform. Coroner Smith was notified and held an inquest on Thursday. Deceased was sixty-three years of age and was a native of Ohio. He has no relatives in this part of the county, but is said to have a daughter and sister in the east. The remains were sent to the soldiers' home for interment. MR. JONES OF ALAMITOS ON LIMING OF SOILS Writes Reply to Reference Upon Subject by a Los Angeles Journal—True Theory of Fertilization A. W. Jones of Los Alamitos has written the following reply to a Los Angeles paper's references to liming of soils. Mr. Jones is particularly well informed upon this subject, and states his convictions with clearness and perspicuity. His observations are as follows: In your issue of February 3d your article entitled "Two Views in Lime Fertilizing" is noted. The view taken by me to which you refer, is set forth tentatively and not as an expert. For experts testimony, on the value of lime to soils, I refer you to government experts, notably Dr. Wiley, chief chemist of the U.S. Agricultural Department, who uses this emphatic language: "I say, our farmers must learn to use lime." He says this, because as a general proposition soils in this country are deficient in lime. Furthermore, it has been demonstrated that lime is one of the four necessary plant food elements. There is a "soil atmosphere" required for plant growth. This is best acquired by avoiding an excess of any one of the four necessary plant food elements. The resultant The present time many of the schools of California are preparers for commercial life; all preparing students for entrance to universities as future doctors, law-teachers, etc. It is doubtful if one of the 162 high schools of the town in agricultural districts, is by a serious effort to prepare the farmer for his special work, a work surely of overshadowing importation of California. Whole trend of education in the county and high schools of the town away from the farm notwithstanding the fact that at least 40 per cent of the population of the State depon the various forms of agriculture or livelihood. The last fiscal year the institutions conducted by the agricultural department of the state unicost $7234 08, a small sum commits with the great good accomplishment of the State is justified in spendmeys for the development of agriculture through such work, is the not fully warranted in expenditure even smaller sum for the enmenment of agricultural education common and high schools? Addition to the "already crowded study?" By no means. Unction 1665 of the Political Code Study" is now required sub-Under the proposed law the recent will be changed to "Nature with special reference to the State is justified in spendmeys for the development of agriculture." State bills Nos. 21, 49 and 52 intro-By Senator Muenter January provide for instruction in the states of agriculture in the common high schools of California. The king are the essential features of three bills: Work in "Nature Study include elements of Agriculture" is mandatory. However, the proposal make it possible for any school State to incorporate in its course daily training in the elements of nature. The present time such cities as Francisco, Los Angeles, Oakland stockton employ supervisors or teachers to supervise the work both special studies as drawing, signature study, etc. The proposition will make it possible for county, so desiring, to employ a supervisor of agriculture to direct him in the primary and grammar laws of the county. In other words these are empowered (not compellant) a supervisor of agriculture in the same manner in which now appoint supervisors. Appointment of a supervisor of culture rests entirely with the authorities of the county. The superintendent of schools may not only on petition from the trustees of the county. Only persons who have had special training in culture and have been certificated around and about 1:30 he called them in, saying he was dying. Dr. Bickford was sent for, but when he arrived the man was dead. A four-ounce bottle of strychnine, from which a large quantity had been taken, was found in the room, and there was also an unopened bottle of chloroform. Coroner Smith was notified and held an inquest on Thursday. Deceased was sixty-three years of age and was a native of Ohio. He has no relatives in this part of the county, but is said to have a daughter and sister in the east. The remains were sent to the soldiers' home for interment. Decoy Letter Did the Work James L. Taggart, wanted by Sheriff Coburn of Riverside for grand larceny was taken into custody by Marshal Maxwell at Santa Ana some evenings ago. Taggart is accused of robbing the trunk of his room mate at San Jacinto of $250. The arrest of the man, who is a forest ranger, was accomplished by a decoy letter sent by Sheriff Coburn, who had learned that Taggart was in Santa Ana. The marshal took the fugitive into custody at the postoffice where Taggart was waiting to receive the missive. The accused refused to discuss his trouble. He is the son of Mr. Taggart, formerly forest supervisor of Trabuco reservation and is now holding a similar position on a reservation in the north. He is 27 years of age.

Government Examination The United States civil service commission announces that examinations may be taken at the following places and dates: Los Angeles March 23, Fresno March 24, Sacramento March 27, Reno, Nev., March 29, Redding March 31, San Francisco (railway mail clerk only) April 8, San Francisco April 10, for bookbinder, composer, guard, pressman, railway mail clerk, stenographer and typewriter, departmental service; stenographer and typewriter, Philippine service; tagger. Persons desiring to compete should apply either to the United States civil service commission, Washington, D.C., or the secretary, board of civil service examiners, 301 Jackson street, San Francisco, for information relative to the above-named examinations. The lime which is used for fertilization is, as a rule, chiefly in the form of oxide or hydrade, that is slaked lime. After its incorporation in the soils, however, both the oxide and hydrate of lime are rapidly changed to carbonate under the influence of the carbon dioxide (carbonic acid) which is found in the atmosphere of the soil in notable proportions; in fact, in a much higher percentage than in the air. It has been abundantly demonstrated that the beneficial effects of potash in the soil are greatly affected by lime. In this respect lime plays a double role, serving both as indispensable food of the plant and as a most necessary adjunct in those decompositions induced by the bio-chemical action, and without which plant nutrients could not assume their natural functions. In the decomposition of manurial salts, under the combined influences of bacterial and bio-chemical activity, the separated acids would exert a fatal influence on vegetation, were they not at once neutralized by an appropriate base. The lime existing chiefly as a carbonate, supplies this convenient base. In other words, the plant juices, being SEED TIME We experienced farmer has learned that some grains require far different soil than others; some crops need different handling than others. He knows that a great deal depends upon right planting at the right time, and that the soil must be kept enriched. No use of complaining in summer about a mistake made in the spring. Decide before the seed is planted. Best time to remedy wasting conditions in the human body is before the evil is too deep rooted. At the first evidence of loss of flesh Scott's Emulsion should be taken immediately. There is nothing that will repair wasted tissue more quickly or replace lost flesh more abundantly than Scott's Emulsion. It nourishes and builds up the body when ordinary foods absolutely fail.
