Compere's Great Work "My principal mission to China," said George Compere, who has just returned from the orient, "was to secure if possible the parasites to destroy the red and purple scale that have done so much damage in the orchards of the state, and I have been successful in the quest. We now have plenty of the parasites and if they can be successfully propagated at the insect hatchery they will prove a great benefit in the fight against the pest. The only way the fruit men of this state can hope to rid their orchards of the destroying pests is to send the natural enemies of the pests into the fight. Past experience has taught the orchard men that all the artificial means employed have been of no avail, and instead of the pests decreasing in number they have shown a steady increase from year to year. "It has been a long and tedious job to collect the parasites. In the first place the scale-infested trees had to be shipped from this state to China, where I exposed them in the districts where the parasites abounded, and as soon as they had secured lodgment the trees were reshipped to this state and the insects taken in hand by the state horticultural commission for propagation. You must understand that after the parasites are secured they are not ready to be distributed in the orchards. Not by any means could this be done with any degree of safety to the fruit interests. There is always great danger when the trees are taken to foreign countries that other than beneficial insects will get on the plants. "This is one of the many things that the commission has to guard against. If a harmful insect was introduced into the state, the growers would have just that much more trouble to fight. What this state needs, and needs badly is a general feeders on several different scale. All the pest-destroying sites and other bugs that he in the Orient arrived in this good condition and are now hatchery ready to begin their replenishing. While in China Mr. Compere engaged by this state and the Australian government on the work. When traveling from his place and found parasites wanted in California he worked them here, and on the other shipped a myriad number to Australia. He was absent a year and exited soon go again, and will probably much of the next year in India will remain in this city for a more with work at the hatchery. In speaking of the gypsy mite has done so much damage in chusetts, Mr. Compere said his horticultural commission of this was the first to suggest that mission in that state tried to get asite for the moth. The idea first cried down by prominent experts, but when it known what success this site having with the parasites for kinds of insects, the department Washington sent men into Europe now it is given out that they have only one but several species of sites that prey on the gypsy mite. The parasitized plants that Compere brought to this county kept in cold storage on the across the Pacific ocean so would not mature. Then after are placed in the hatchery other and plants infested with so placed with them so the insect have something to feed on we come out. Mr. Compere says that distractive insect has its nature and all that the state has to find that enemy to get rid of." Not by any means could this be done with any degree of safety to the fruit interests. There is always great danger when the trees are taken to foreign countries that other than beneficial insects will get on the plants. "This is one of the many things that the commission has to guard against. If a harmful insect was introduced into the state, the growers would have just that much more trouble to fight. What this state needs, and needs badly is a suitable parasite propagation station. The one in use in Sacramento is in no wap fit for the purpose for which it is employed, and I want to say that if a place is not provided I will leave the work, for I cannot afford to take the chances of having all my work go for nothing and probably go for harm by reason of no fault of my own. The plants sent here in the winter bake in the summer and all the beneficial insects are always liable to be destroyed by reason of not having a suitable place in which to properly care for them. "We can point with pride to the good work that has been done by the codlin moth parasite in the apple orchards. All the reports from the districts in which the moth has flourished and the parasites have been placed are that the percentage of wormy fruit is much more less. Don't you know that the apple growers in this state have been running monster codlin moth hatcheries on their places and did not know it? Apples that had worms in them were taken into the packing-houses. Then at the end of the season the old boxes were stored in these houses and afforded an ideal place for the propagation of moths. I know cases where you could look all day and not find a codlin moth-worm in the orchard, but if you were to go to the packing-house and tear up the floor or rip the battens from the walls you would find not hundreds but thousands of the moth cooons. "Some of the farmers in their ignorance think that now we have the parasite the moth should entirely disappear. They are not giving the parasite a fair chance when they breed the moths in closed houses to destroy their fruit next year. The parasite will no more go to a shed or packing-house to find the moth than the moth will go to a shed to lay eggs. Both insects naturally seek the orchards for their field Local Men and State Politics From the Los Angeles News Since the general election in November, the state administration has seen fit to hand out severe fines and fishes to factions called "right" during the late state election. The list of favors included trusteeship at Whittier, given by N. Anderson, senator from Orlando Riverside counties; a prison ship at San Quentin, placed with actor Charles Belshaw of Contra and a state harbor commissioner San Francisco, given to Senator of Oakland. In giving out this patronage error did not consult leaders regular organization for reasons and sufficient to himself, and same powers being in position trol what may be set down her vance as prospectively "an legislature." are certain to make kind, if that can be done. Up here, there appears at evasion a replica of the Washington known as "senatorial courtesy," has as its object those reciprocations of one man for another lent among members of the house in the national congress.erner Pardee, evidently realize condition, took pains to best final favors where the gifts either be endorsed or else the long-established custom of senatorial courtesy be disregarded. Leaders of the dominant factor realize that it is a condition as theory which confronts them spite of that fact they are deter to pay the governor in his office in the manner set down self at the beginning of his adition four years ago. As part program, Lieutenant-Governor ren Porter is said to be fully And as presiding officer of th "Some of the farmers in their ignorance think that now we have the parasite the moth should entirely disappear. They are not giving the parasite a fair chance when they breed the moths in closed houses to destroy their fruit next year. The parasite will no more go to a shed or packing-house to find the moth than the moth will go to a shed to lay eggs. Both insects naturally seek the orchards for their field operations. The parasite will do the work, and they are the only agents that man has that will do the work of keeping down the pests. It has cost the farmers in this state over $8,000,000 in the past ten years to fight the codlin moth by artificial means, and still we have the moths with us." Mr. Compere then told of the results of some of the work that the red scale parasite has accomplished in China. The red scale attacks almost all kinds of plant life that is of use to man. Fruit, flowers, and even vegetables are destroyed by the scale. The purple scale is not such a wide feeder, but confines its deadly work to the citrus fruits and a few species of palms. In China the parasites of these two scales abound in great numbers and the scale is almost unknown. The damage done by the scale in China is so small that it is not taken into consideration. Mr. Compere says that if the state horticultural commission can distribute the parasites throughout the infected districts that they will do the work. It will take a little time, but the work will be done effectively at no great expense. In addition to the several species of parasites Mr. Compere brought two species of ladybird beetles with him. The ladybirds are the deadly enemies Leaders of the dominant faction alize that it is a condition as to theory which confronts them spite of that fact they are detaining in the manner set down self at the beginning of his adduction four years ago. As part program, Lieutenant-Governor Porter is said to be fully And as presiding officer of the house he will be in position to Governor Pardee's appointment siderable of a crooked twist they shall be finally approve lieutenant-governor will, as of fact, name the committee finally pass upon the names tomitted by the present admin and Governor Gillett's running has made no bones of the fact is prepared to override what accomplished, if his assistance bring about this result. Back of this is something oAmong the first executive actor Pardee, nearly four years was the dismissal of Warren Quentin, and the new lieutenant does not hesitate to say will be "blankety-blanked" if Charles M. Belshaw shall be to take a position from which self was discharged by Governor Dee. In the case of Senator Aitken it is said that, realizing against him he may decide game is not worth the candle tire of his own accord. He advised to do this, and although accepted his commission, it was surprising if he quits voluntarily. If Senator Anderson, how decides to force the issue, Jose scale and are also genius on several different kinds all the pest-destroying parter bugs that he secured arrived in this country condition and are now in the ready to begin their work of digging.

The idea was at own by prominent governants, but when it became that success this state was with the parasites for other insects, the department at sent men into Europe and even out that they have not several species of pararely on the gypsy moth.

Professor Greeley has been in office two years, having been transferred to his present position from the board of Normal school directors in Los Angeles. As executive head at Whittler his salary is $300 a month and found, a desirable billet. It is said that one of the members of the board of trustees is anxious that the place shall go to Secretary Gates of the state board of corrections and charities, and that Greeley has been asked point blank to retire. In the event that James Clark, who was Senator Anderson's predecessor on the board, is allowed to remain, Superintendent Greeley will not be disturbed. Chamber of Commerce The directors of the chamber of commerce met in special session on Friday evening. The following communication was received from James Bertram, Mr. Carnegie's secretary, in reference to the establishment of a library in this city: NEW YORK, Dec. 26, 1906. Charles A. Boege, Secretary Anaheim Chamber of Commerce—Dear Sir: Yours of Dec. 20th and enclosed schedule received.

If this is so have the city clerk sign the schedule as plainly indicated to be necessary. Respectfully, JAMES BERTRAM, Secretary. The schedule will be presented to the city trustees at its meeting this evening. It is understood that favorable action will be taken in the matter. Mr. Carnegie stands ready to erect a $10,000 library building in this city if the $1000 per year for maintenance is guaranteed. Richard Melrose was selected as Men and State Politics in the Los Angeles News. The general election, held in the state administration to hand out several loaves of factions considered during the late state conveni­list of favors includes a list of favors includes a Whittier, given to James Fenner, senator from Orange and counties; a prison director-Quentin, placed with Sensus Belshaw of Contra Costa, harbor commission plum at Santa Monica, given to Senator Mattos.
