HOW COMES IT SO? "By the construction of the reservoir and the large ditch to Anaheim the stockholders of the north side are confronted with a danger they do not realize. The scheme is yet in its infancy, but it will work out something as follows: The extensive introduction of pumping plants has made it possible for nearly every one in Anaheim to get water from them and very many have sold off all their water stock except a few shares. This enables them to get all the water they want during the season without the expense of carrying water stock. Were the reservoir a success, every rancher in Anaheim could sell down to a single share of stock and get both winter and summer water, for having the reservoir we should have to operate it, and the water can be run nowhere but to Anaheim. "Think this over, Mr. Stockholder, and some mysterious things will become plainer. This may be the extreme view of the matter; but the tendency is to get the water, reduce their holdings of stock, and make us pay the freight."—Mr. Sherwood to his Constituents. Is this man's mental or moral stature sufficient to fit him for membership upon the water board? Has a man so narrow-minded and picayunish the right to aspire to a seat upon the board which directs the destinies of a great irrigating company, watering thousands of acres of the most productive lands in Southern California? Upon what grounds of reasonable hypothesis does he collect votes sufficient to elect himself a director? Do his constituents believe this rot which he has been persistently circulating in order to secure for himself a place upon the board? If they do, their sense of insight into this flying-trapeze artist must not be very acute. If they do not credit his false and misleading ut these remarks a brilliant and priceless? Yet men support him, upon the row and selfish platform—that he ence upon the board is necessary certain irrigators from "getting for nothing," and to keep the course out of the hands of scheming clers. This is all to be marveled at have any other platform it has failed to appear. How comes it that he succeeds in gathering such stock to re-elect himself, and to himself upon his ability to carry jority of the new board with him. Distribution of Seeds and Annual Distribution by Agricultural Experimentation, Berkeley. Californi By E. J. Wickson and R. E. Man To reduce as much as practiced the vast amount of correspondence which is entailed upon the distribution, we desire the following points should be fully considered by the applause: First—Do not apply for this mentioned in this bulletin. We not usually supply things pre- offered for distribution. Second—We require the ap- to pay a small amount for article, partly to bear the cost of collection and distribution, but as a guaranty that he has not lands of acres of the most productive lands in Southern California? Upon what grounds of reasonable hypothesis does he collect votes sufficient to elect himself a director? Do his constituents believe this rot which he has been persistently circulating in order to secure for himself a place upon the board? If they do, their sense of insight into this flying-trapeze artist must not be very acute. If they do not credit his false and misleading utterances—and we repudiate the idea that the intelligent folk of Fullerton and Placentia believe this man for a moment—why do they support him? That he has persuaded many simple-minded people that his retention upon the board is the only thing which will keep the company out of the hands of a mythical coterie of Los Angeles bankers, is not to be doubted. But this statement is so false, so foolish, so palpably designed to further his selfish purposes, that it would appear that a man with brains little enough to rattle about in a mustard seed could see through it at a glance. But that some men believe it, is attested by the fact that he has proxies enough to insure his own election, and now seeks to control the board at the approaching election. How comes it so? This man, whose every act has been discredited by the board, whose faulty work in the water tunnels in the canyon brought the company to the verge of a lawsuit; whose incompetency in building the Miles ditch menaced the company, and still menaces it, with litigation; whose record upon the reservoir has made him the laughing stock of every engineer in Southern California—how comes it that he has stock sufficient to land himself in the position and to aspire to elect a majority of the members? Does he not know that irrigators served with water from the reservoir must have their pro rata supply fixed by their holdings of shares in the company? Does he not know that he is speaking falsely when he charges them with a purpose to sell off their stock down to a single share in order (1.) to get water for nothing, and (2.) to escape company assessment? Does not this sound foolish to him as he views it in cold print? Does he not know that water is too valuable an asset to admit First—Do not apply for this mentioned in this bulletin. We not usually supply things pre- offered for distribution. Second—We require the app to pay a small amount for article, partly to bear the cost collection and distribution, but as a guaranty that he has not an idle desire for what can be for nothing, but intends to trial for a definite end that port results to us. Third—Applications may be for ona or more kinds of seed an applicant should not order than one package of a kind. supply of any kind of seed be exhausted the money will turned, unless a second ch mentioned by the sender. notes are requested instead of whenever practicable.

Distribution by General Experiment Station Berkeley. California. Wickson and R. E. Mansell as much as practicable amount of correspondence trailed upon the station distribution, we desire that points should be careered by the applicants: do not apply for things not on this bulletin. We can supply things previously distribution. We require the applicant all amount for each ar- to bear the cost of col-distribution, but chiefly that he has not merely small quantities. Eucalyptus seedlings are quite easily grown in boxes of light, sandy loam not disposed to bake or crack; cover the seed very lightly and then keep moist, but not wet, regulating the covering by a lath cover, or something of that sort, but do not exclude the air too much. Either sow very thinly, or sow thickly and then prick out seedlings at greater distances in other boxes when they are about two inches high. Such little seedlings placed about two or three inches each way will grow in the boxes until about a foot high, and then can be put out in place, cutting with an old carving knife, so as to give each little tree a block of soil which the roots will hold together until set in its new place, or the roots may be dipped in soft mud to keep them from drying out. One soon gets the knack of growing these seedlings by experience, the main point being to have moisture enough and yet not too much, also to guard carefully against drying out while the seedling is very small.

In July, 1903, Howard Overacker of St. Helena sent to the station a plant which had appeared in his locality and which seemed to have good points as a dry land forage plant. It was determined by the university botanists to be Potentilla Elata, and had apparently been introduced by accident, the seed coming with espercette seed.

It was determined by the university botanists to be Potentilla Elata, and had apparently been introduced by accident, the seed coming with espercette seed. Rothwell Hyde, in an endeavor to better the forage on his place near St. Helena, planted a number of different seeds, and this potentilla appeared, survived on a rocky, sun-baked slope, and gradually extended itself in spite of close cropping by cattle and horses. It grows also under manzanita bushes where the stock cannot get at it, and is thus able to spread by means of seed. Its ability to provide for its own distribution and its acceptability to stock induced Mr. Overacker to gather and sow the seed widely, and several years' experience have confirmed his impression of its value for wild growth on rough land. Its winter growth is shown by the fact that a plant which was cut close to the ground December 1st stood 3 feet 5 inches high on April 1 following, while alfalfa close alongside was not over 12 inches. This shows how it stands cold and grows in winter, while on the hillside during the dry season it is nearly always green, especially when fall comes on and the nights are cool. It is perennial and a free seeder. Mr. Overacker has donated seed for our distribution. It should be scattered on rough ground early in the rainy season and the place marked for future observation.

GREEN MANURING PLANTS. Lathyrus tingitanus or Tangier Pea—The experiments with green manuring plants at Berkeley has shown this plant to be one of the best to use in localities where a quick growth has to be made. It is a native of Northern Africa, it stands drought conditions well, it is a rapid grower, it has an abundant supply of tubercles upon its roots, and the character of its growth enables the plant to get the lead ol almost all weeds and thus to help materially to rid the land of obnoxious plants. It successfully resists a frost of five or six degrees Fahrenheit, and so can be planted early. Lathyrus satius or French Pea—During the past season this lathyrus ranked very high indeed among plants of this type. It produced a somewhat larger amount of green stuff for plowing under than did the above species, but it does not resist drouth quite so well. While L. tingitanus is a plant well suite for growing in the drier parts of the state, L. sativus on the other hand succeeds best in the more humid parts and is particularly well adapted for use in the fog belt. Its habit is quite prostrate, forming a dense mat, but is easily plowed under. Fenugreek, Trigonella foenum groecum—This forage plant, which was introduced by this station and widely distributed, has demonstrated in some localities its very able value as a green crop. In those localities its requirements it appears of the very best of all low plants. Wherever not new trial plots should be put intain its suitability.

There is one man at least who does not deplore the delay in congressional business caused by the discussion of the Brownsville affair. That one is Senator Smoot, who welcomes any obstruction to the effort to separate him from his seat in the senate. Rhode Island is to have a more stringent divorce law, but Newporters think nothing of a little trip to Sioux Falls. A Pittsburg beauty doctor has all the orders he can fill to tattoo permanent blushes on the cheeks of the fashionable women of that city. There is perhaps no city in the country where a permanent blush is as useful as in that city.
