Citrus Growers' Institute at Riverside Arrangements are being made for a gathering of citrus growers at River-side during the latter part of January. Some of the questions which will be discussed will be: What feature of orchard management, or after management of fruit, has produced the best results. The relation of the citrus experiment station to the University of California. The practical value of scientific work in commercial results. What are the specific requirements for producing the largest proportion of fancy fruit? What are the urgent practical problems to which the citrus experiment station should give early attention? Proposed experiment work. What methods of fertilizing orchards have produced the best results? What definite progress has been made in fighting insects pests? It is proposed to make this meeting one of the largest gatherings of citrus growers ever held in California, and representatives from all the citrus districts of the state are expected to be present. The speakers will include Dr. Benjamin Ide Wheeler, Prof. E. J. Wickson, Prof. Ralph Smith, C. C. Chapman, R. C. Allen, C. C. Teague, J. W. Jeffrey, S. A. Pease, and others prominent in citrus culture. The Panama Canal Thoroughly characteristic of the man who made it, is the message of the president on his experience in the canal zone. The message was directed to congress and it will have its effect in backing up the requests of the presi- The Selection of Seed By G. W. Shaw. There would seem to be little difficulty of discussing the important good seed, yet the inquiry at the Station as to the quantity prior seed which should be used for its admitted deficiency dence that there still exist many cates of the use of such seeds again, that comparatively little is given to this matter selection is certainly indicate samples of seed-wheat which collected by the university. It is highly prejudicial to the results that there are numerous ideas, held very tenaciously to several points concerning wheat. There is little doubt of the present condition of local due to the lack of attention national selection of first-class best of seed is always the che we are to grade up our whese follow the same practice in culture as is followed by the stock in building up his stock, the best types for purposes duction. It is certain that one of the factors which has tended to yield of wheat in California is gious blunder of constantly the smallest and shrunken seed. If there is one thing been conclusively demonstrated most carefully conducted exp it has been the superiority oin both quantity and quality from the selection of large arous grains for seed. Numero iments, conducted both in tha and in Australia, not only wil but also with corn and other have so conclusively demonst point as to render it beyond The Panama Canal Thoroughly characteristic of the man who made it, is the message of the president on his experience in the canal zone. The message was directed to congress and it will have its effect in backing up the requests of the president for all the money he needs in carrying on the work. It is also a message to the American people, bidding them to be of good cheer as the work on which they have set their hearts is going forward well and steadily. But not the least effect will it have is on the men who are doing the work in Panama. It will show that their chief is satisfied with their labors and as sures them that they have a man behind them who is full grown and notoriously a fighting man and one on whom they can rely for moral and material support so long as they do their work well and faithfully. The message is welcome to the American people because of the endorsement of the work it contains. The president says: "Of the success of the enterprise, I am as well convinced as one can be of any enterprise that is human. It is a stupendous work on which our fellow countrymen are engaged down there on the Isthmus, and while we should hold them to strict accountability for way in which they perform it, we should recognize with frank generosity the epic nature of the task on which they are engaged and its world-wide importance." The message contains several important suggestions. The first is that a seven-headed commission is too clumsy and that there should be but one commissioner with heads of departments under him. It is said that the employment of the best engineers in the country as consulting engineers should be expressly permitted. If the composition of the commission is to remain unchanged, then the president says that Dr. Gorgas should be made one of the commissioners. Finally it is recommended that several thousand Chinese laborers be sent to work in this area. No well-informed breed would deliberately follow the selection as his parent or poorest animals to be found; tyro knows something valuable of quality in both dam and in the production of racing sows notwithstanding our plants and to essentially the same laws of production and development, growers continually selecting the best of parental seed, thus gaining stantly degenerating products to quantity and quality. They seem to be to get the largest of plants upon an acre of ground,pective of the fact that grain as well as quantity must profit. This matter of the selection of quality seed is so important that constrained to believe that proper attention to it has had no any one thing to do with the dewheat production, excepting an encroachment of other crops wonderful increase in the yield in Illinois and Iowa has been due to the vigorous campaign part of the stations of those states reference to the selection of his seed, and I am inclined to believe a similar campaign with referencing the selection of seed-wheat in Indiana would yield similar results reference to this crop, and more than any other one thing improving the yield per annum. Preliminary to other invest along the line of cereal improvement this bulletin aims merely to certain ascertained facts with ence to the condition of the seeds commonly used by California and to compare the results with representing really first-class the respective types. The method of grading of wheat formation of seed is by separation grains according to the size most conveniently done by mills. The grains in a given vary in size. If the sample be one commissioner with heads of departments under him. It is said that the employment of the best engineers in the country as consulting engineers should be expressly permitted. If the composition of the commission is to remain unchanged, then the president says that Dr. Gorgas should be made one of the commissioners. Finally it is recommended that several thousand Chinese laborers should be given a fair trial. The critics of the work are arranged in the message under two heads; those who are honest and those who are malicious. The president says he investigated a number of the honest criticisms and found without exception that they were either based on a misconception of the facts or that they referred to conditions that had changed or were being changed. But his condemnation of the slanderers that have been published against the canal were scathing. He says: "With slanders of foreign origin I have no concern. But where they are from Americans I feel for them the heartiest contempt and indignation because in a spirit of wanton dishonesty and malice they are trying to hamper the greatest work of the kind ever attempted and are trying to bring to naught the efforts of their countrymen to put to the credit of America one of the giant feats of the age. The outrageous accusations of these slanderers constitute a gross libel on a body of public servants who for trained intelligence, expert ability, high character and devotion to duty have never been excelled anywhere." Selection of Seed-Wheat By G. W. Shaw. Would seem to be little necessitating the importance of wheat, yet the inquiries made of it as to the quantity of infestation which should be used to make admitted deficiencies is evident there still exist manyAdvocates use of such seed. And comparatively little attention to this matter of seed selection certainly indicated by the seed-wheat which have been by the university. Further, by prejudicial to the highest that there are numerous errors, held very tenaciously, as all points concerning seed-there is little doubt that much present condition of low yield is lack of attention to the reaction of first-class seed—the end is always the cheapest. If grade up our wheat we must same practice in cereal cultivation by the stock-breeding up his stock, using only types for purposes of reproduction that one of the greatest which has tended to reduce the heat in California is the egregor of constantly selecting best and shrunken grains for there is one thing that has exclusively demonstrated by the fully conducted experiments, in the superiority of product, quantity and quality, obtained selection of large and vigorous for seed. Numerous exper-ducted both in this country Australia, not only with wheat, with corn and other grains, inclusively demonstrated this render it beyond question. All-informed breeder today liberately follow the practice as his parent stock the wheats otherwise of equal value for milling, the one whose grains are the larger will give the larger yield of flour. Millers pretty generally recognize this by screening out the smallest grains. This may also be shown by certain results obtaind with the mill at this laboratory. Further, we might expect this a PRIORI, because there is bound to be a larger percentage of bran upon the smaller grains.—College of Agriculture, University of California. Developing California All California and especially Southern California should be deeply and personally interested in the splendid work which has recently been inaugurated by the "Development Society of California." This work is no less than the raising of an immense fund, a full half million, it is hoped, to be expended in the thorough advertising of this section through the east and middle-west. For some time the men who have been doing things on this coast have realized that the psychological monument was at hand to make good the disutory work that has been in hand for years looking toward the uplifting of what they knew to be the most favored portion of the globe. The beauties and advantages of the entire Pacific coast had been exploited from time to time in a fragmentary way and these efforts, unsatisfactory as they were, resulted in a development in both population and material wealth which was far beyond the brightest dreams of the most sanguine. The great north-west was early in discovering that all the old methods had been outgrown and Montana, Idaho, Oregon and Washington are now organizing and raising a fund of several hundreds of thousands of dollars to be used in exploiting themselves, and turning in their direction the tide which has set in toward the south-west. The men who In the superiority of product, quantity and quality, obtained selection of large and vigorous for seed. Numerous experiments conducted both in this country Australia, not only with wheat, with corn and other grains, exclusively demonstrated this render it beyond question. All-informed breeder today liberately follow the practice as his parent stock the animals to be found. The two knows something of the reality in both dam and sire production of racing stock, yet, finding our plants are subject only to the same laws of reproduction development, we find continually selecting the poor-tal seed, thus gaining a con-generating product, both as quality and quality. The sole idea to get the largest number upon an acre of ground, irrelevant the fact that quality of well as quantity makes for better of the selection of high-d is so important that I am to believe that the lack of intention to it has had more than going to do with the decreasing production, excepting only the extent of other crops. The increase in the yields of corn and Iowa has been largely invigorous campaign on the stations of those states with to the selection of high-class farm inclined to believe that campaign, with reference to man of seed-wheat in California-yield similar results with no this crop, and would do any other one thing toward the yield per annum. Arry to other investigations one of cereal improvement, then aims merely to present certain facts with refer-condition of the seed-wheat used by California farmers, care the results with those for really first-class seed of live types.

The great north-west was early in discovering that all the old methods had been outgrowm and Montana, Idaho, Oregon and Washington are now organizing and raising a fund of several hundreds of thousands of dollars to be used in exploiting themselves, and turning in their direction the tide which has set in toward the south-west. The men who stand at the head of affairs here have never been behind the rest of the world and they have met this movement with the Development Society of California, the purpose of which is to bring all the wonderful truth about California home to every reader on the continent. To successfully carry out this stupendous undertaking they have adopted the policy of the first business men of the nation, they propose to use practically all of the leading daily papers, magazines and agricultural papers of the east and middle-west. They will keep not only the beauties and the magnificent climate but the miraculous physical and commercial advantages of this whole section before the readers of these publications from one end of the year to the other, thereby adopting the motto of the men who have made immense fortunes out of advertising, "Keep everlastingly at it." There can be no question as to the result of such an advertising campaign, carried out as it will be by men who have made a business of advertising and who have won front rank in their business by getting the most possible out of every dollar invested. This is the first time in the history of California that a really business-like method of advertising the state has been attempted and there can be no question as to the results. It will bring an army of pleasure, health and home-seekers which will dwarf all records of the past. They will come not only for climate and recreation, but to people and till the unoccupied lands, open up new industries and swell the ranks of prosperous business men. All this means prosperity such as the state has never known and in it every man of this section is vitally interested.
