Friction seems to have arisen between the Salt Lake railroad on the one hand and the Santa Fe and Southern Pacific on the other, the latter companies having denied switching privileges to the new rival. At San Bernardino on Saturday two Salt Lake cars standing on a siding at an orange-packing warehouse, ready to receive fruit for points along the new route, were summarily hauled away by a Southern Pacific switch engine. Senator Clark, when informed of the incident, declared he would parallel every Southern Pacific and Santa Fe track in the orange growing district unless he received fair treatment from his competitors. The Santa Fe and Southern Pacific have long since been known to bear a close relationship one to the other—in fact, as a railway official some time ago said, "they are first cousins,"—and a little stirring up by Senator Clark might do them children attending school years as well as under, gave the town a fictitious giving it one additional This year the census was to the square,” with the real 2046 children were found ages up to 17, while last number was 2043.

The Santa Fe and Southern Pacific have long since been known to bear a close relationship one to the other—in fact, as a railway official some time ago said, "they are first cousins,"—and a little stirring up by Senator Clark might do them both good, not to speak of the resultant benefits to the shipper. California will get a great deal of advertising this year in magazines, newspapers and farm papers of national circulation. Probably the resources and attractions of no other region in the world have been the subject of so much comment in publications, large and small, as the advantages of California. Publicity of this character which California is now obtaining is more generous and effective than anything of the kind in the history of the state, as it is especially directed to those lines where exploitation is of peculiar advantage to the state. Great publications are now devoting their entire space, or a major portion of it, to California numbers. Several large publications, among them the New York World, Pearson's Magazine, Leslie's Weekly and others have issued special California numbers, all devoted to California. The success of these numbers induced the committee to send a special commissioner to the East last January, who called upon the editors of leading publications in Chicago, New York, Philadelphia, Boston, Omaha, Detroit and other cities. The committee's commissioner was enthusiastically received, for readers of the great magazines are interested in California. Arrangements have been made with leading periodicals, eastern uary, who called upon the editors of leading publications in Chicago, New York, Philadelphia, Boston, Omaha, Detroit and other cities. The committee's commissioner was enthusiastically received, for readers of the great magazines are interested in California. Arrangements have been made with leading periodicals, eastern dailies, great weeklies, monthly magazines, syndicates, one of which covers 151 daily newspapers, and farm papers for the publication of California matter. Among publications which will shortly devote extended space to California are Collier's Weekly, Leslie's Weekly, Leslie's Monthly, Pearson's Magazine, the Chicago Chronicle, New York American, The World Today, The World's Work and many others. Photographs and data have been gathered from all sections of California and it is evident that the state will have the best kind of advertising. The California Promotion committee requests that all those who can spare photographs suitable for illustration will kindly forward them to the committee at the earliest opportunity. SANTA ANA shows an increase of only three children over last year. This apparent shortage is explained by the fact that last year the census marshal enumerated all ANAHEIM has a fine crop of youngsters under 5 years of age returned by the school Santa Ana has 390, Fullerton Orange only 34. The total number of census school children Orange county, between the ages 5 and 17, is 6758; under 5 years 1987; total number of children 8745. REDLANDS has the smallest ed shylock in the state.

ELSEWHERE will be found lished an extract from a book just received from the Department of Agriculture at Washington titled, "Beneficial Bacterial Leguminous Crops." This tin treats of what is pronoun horticulturists to be the most important discovery in a quart century. It will repay peru our readers. VENTURA is not going to municipal ownership with attending school, over 17 years well as under, and this town a fictitious increase, but one additional teacher. For the census was taken "on fire," with the result that children were found, of all to 17, while last year the census marshal is entitled other medal. Columbia Marching club of Santa Ana will have a house at its new club rooms in Monday evening which a general invitation extended all good people out the county to attend. Columbia Marching club is the best known organization kind in the Southwest, the past has done much to history to the party of patrol progress and prosperity. Noble of the county owe this crack marching club, be glad to honor it in its name. Senator Flint and man Smith are expected present and make short remarks for the good order will be made by local officials. The northern part of city will probably be well fed. "The Columbia club," a message from chairman of the organization said, "will try to make every home." legal struggle. The city recently voted $125,000 bonds for a municipal water system and a municipal electric plant. And now the Ventura Light and Water company has brought suit to test the validity of the bonds. The condemnation suit brought by the Pacific Electric company against C. E. Sweetzer of Garden Grove, to condemn right of way diagonally through a forty-acre tract, resulted in an award of $400 for damages sustained by the building of the road. Sweetzer asked for $1000. He was offered $400 by the railroad in the beginning, but refused it. We trust that not too many slates will be made at the Columbia club's love feast on Monday evening, and that the sheathed dirk for next year's scalp fest will not be in evidence. They call it catsup in Santa Ana now. Nitrogen Fixation as Affecting Succeeding Crops A convincing demonstration of the effect upon a soil of a leguminous crop bearing root nodules is to note the striking differences between crops of grain or vegetables that follow legumes and a similar crop grown on fallow land, or following a grass or vegetable crop. This is a matter of such common observation that a rotation including some leguminous crop is the practice. Succeeding Crops A convincing demonstration of the effect upon a soil of a leguminous crop bearing root nodules is to note the striking differences between crops of grain or vegetables that follow legumes and a similar crop grown on fallow land, or following a grass or vegetable crop. This is a matter of such common observation that a rotation including some leguminous crop is the practice of every farmer who has a thought for maintaining the fertility of his soil. It is easily proved that part of this benefit is due to the amount of nitrogen fixed by the bacteria of the root nodules and not to the unusual length of the root system or other peculiarities of the plant. Careful experiments to establish this fact have been carried on by many of the experiment stations in the United States, the results all tending to prove that a leguminous crop affects the soil which bears it like the addition of a considerable amount of nitrogenous fertilizer. Averaging results obtained in sixteen states, the amount of nitrogen added per acre has been computed as 122 pounds; in Germany it is estimated at 200 pounds per acre. When it is remembered that a high grade of nitrate of soda contains only about 15 per cent of nitrogen, while much that is on the market contains considerably less, it will be seen that a crop of nodule-bearing legumes is equal to from 800 to 1000 pounds of nitrate of soda per acre, which at the present rate for this fertilizer represents a value of from $20 to $25. ARTIFICIAL INOCULATION OF THE SOIL Since the desirability of introducing a leguminous crop into rotation seems to be of such importance, and the benefits to be obtained from a nodule-bearing plant are so evident, it is not surprising that every effort has been made to obtain crops which possess the power of using atmospheric nitrogen. It has been found, however, that, although in a great many instances the organisms producing nodules are naturally abundant in the soil, and the mere planting of the legume seed is sufficient to produce a crop capable of fixing nitrogen, there are also some localities which are devoid of the necessary bacteria, and in such places the seed sown either fails to make a stand or the crop drawing its nitrogen from has a fine crop of 237 under 5 years of age, as by the school census. has 390, Fullerton 116, July 34. The total numnus school children in county, between the ages of 6758; under 5 years, number of children, has the smallest soul in the state. A woman that town, of the name Mary Murphy, borrowed L. E.

It has been found, however, that, although in a great many instances the organisms producing nodules are naturally abundant in the soil, and the mere planting of the legume seed is sufficient to produce a crop capable of fixing nitrogen, there are also some localities which are devoid of the necessary bacteria, and in such places the seed sown either fails to make a stand or the crop, drawing its nitrogen from the soil, is of no more benefit to the soil than a cereal or other "main crop" whose yield might be a distinct source of profit. Under these circumstances the attempt to grow the leguminous crop is a clear waste of time and labor unless proper steps are taken to introduce into the soil the organisms adapted to furnish the plant with atmospheric nitrogen. The sheet of directions which has accompanied each package of inoculating material, sent out by the Department of Agriculture, reads as follows: DIRECTIONS FOR USING INOCULATING MATERIAL Put 1 gallon of clean water (preferably rain water) in a clean tub or bucket and add No. 1 of the inclosed package of salts. Stir occasionally until all is dissolved. Carefully open package No. 2 and drop the inclosed cotton into the solution. Cover the tub with a paper to protect from dust, and set aside in a warm place for twenty-four hours. Do not heat the solution or you will kill the bacteria—it should never be warmer than blood heat. After twenty-four hours add the contents of package No. 3. Within twenty hours more, the solution will have a cloudy appearance and is ready for use. Continued on Page 8.
