SEASON OF HORTICULTURE Marked by Prosperous Conditions, and Very Favorable to the Fruit Grower—Keeping Our Pests. Ellwood Cooper, state commissioner of horticulture, in his recently issued biennial report, says the past season has been one of the most prosperous in the history of horticulture in this state. It was not without its drawbacks, however, the chief of these being the devastation wrought by the pear blight in Northern California orchards, the shortage of the peach crop, and a light prune output in upstate regions. Other varieties yielded fairly well, although the fruit crop was somewhat spotted; but withal demand and prices were so unusually good that most growers made a handsome profit on their crops. Table grapes have been an especially profitable fruit. Better service was received from the railroads than usual, and, with the exceptions noted, the season was very favorable to the fruit-grower. From the report which has just reached our table we take the following excerpts: All incoming vessels are watched for and boarded, and all classes of vegetable products are carefully inspected before being allowed to land. If such importations are free from insect pests and diseases they are allowed to pass; if found infested with pests already established here, they are submitted to proper treatment for their disinfection; but if affected with any diseases or pests not already in our state they are deported or destroyed. By these means we have succeeded moth larvae in sufficient work. I have been informed large quantities of these be had from New Zealand written to the Department of that State for a promising in return to farm with the parasite. In the district, from whence we to draw our largest supply the coddling-moth was less than usual, owing to conditions, and we were not getting a sufficient food to insure the greatest ment and increase in the parasite this year. As in other years, we bred and distributed larger other parasitic and predicts, among them the dinalis, Novius Koebele ventralis, etc. We have not gating these insects steadily years to prevent their loss so that we would have the liness for any outbreak of pests at any time. On invitation of the Government an agent of this was commissioned to investigate extent and spread of the Morellos orange-maggot in public of Mexico. A thorough made of the habits of the habitat, territorial area, or apprehended from its production into our State, andters connected with it. Of this investigation has listed in full in a report this office, but I may add that has been to greatly lesseen which our orange growers in regard to this pest, and age the Mexican government taking of effective measure control. At the present ter republic, stimulated through our efforts, is the possible measure to check within her own borders and us every possible guarantee its introduction into our area receiving weekly re Professor Herrera, who fills of the work, showing the orchards inspected, the All incoming vessels are watched for and boarded, and all classes of vegetable products are carefully inspected before being allowed to land. If such importations are free from insect pests and diseases they are allowed to pass; if found infested with pests already established here, they are submitted to proper treatment for their disinfection; but if affected with any diseases or pests not already in our state they are deported or destroyed. By these means we have succeeded in keeping out numerous pests, any of which might have proved a serious menace to the great fruit industry of California. In connection with the quarantine work of the Commission, I have established stations at San Pedro and San Diego, and appointed deputies to act at each one of these posts. Shipments of trees or fruits from foreign ports are something made to each of these ports, and heretofore we have had to rely upon the county horticultural commissioners to do the required work. In such cases they were operating without proper authority. By the appointment of deputy state horticultural commissioners, under direct instructions from this office, all necessary authority is vested in them. In connection with our quarantine work in the San Francisco branch, we also conduct an insectary for the propagation of beneficial, predaceous, and parasitic insects. While our accommodations for this work are very limited and altogether unsuitable for the best results, we have, nevertheless, bred and distributed into all parts of the state large numbers of beneficial insects and have received excellent reports as to their work of checking the spread of injurious species. The work of exploring foreign countries for beneficial insects, for which purpose an appropriation was made by the last session of the Legislature, has been continued through the year, George Compere having been retained in the work. Efforts were made to secure his services wholly for our own State, but as this was found impracticable on account of his contract with the West Australian Government, an arrangement was made with the latter government similar to that before existing whereby California and West Australia availed themselves jointly of his labors and pro-rated the expenses. Under this arrangement we have received several shipments of beneficial insects from different parts of the world, which have been cared for and bred into our San Francisco insectary. Reports received from all portions of the State, where recently imported parasitic insects have been established, are very encouraging. The success- County Brevitt A. L.

Under this arrangement we have received several shipments of beneficial insects from different parts of the world, which have been cared for and bred into our San Francisco insectary. Reports received from all portions of the State, where recently imported parasitic insects have been established, are very encouraging. The successful establishment of a new insect is always a matter of doubt. Differing conditions, variations of seasons, difference of food supply, and many other contingencies enter into their successful establishment, and it is therefore unsafe to predict absolute success until several years have elapsed. The Scutellista cyanea, the internal parasite of the black scale, may be pronounced a success. It has been established a sufficient length of time to become thoroughly established, and has increased enormously, until it is found in ample quantity wherever the black scale is found, and the latter pest is surely and rapidly decreasing before its advance. We may always expect outbreaks of the black scale, for an insect once established can never be exterminatd, but at the same time we may regard the black scale as removed from the list of our dangerous insect pests. Caliephialtes messer, the parasite of the coddling-moth, is still in the experimenting stage, but gives promise of doing effective work. We have found the insect breeding in the orchards where it was established, so that we have already several generation of California-bred insects of this species, and may safely conclude that it is permanently established. We have also found that it is doing good work. We are still propagating and distributing this parasite, but owing to the difficulty in securing coddling- MARKETS IN GOOD SHAPE R. G. Dun & Co.'s Monthly Review for February in Southern California Rainfall to date has been considerably over normal throughout Southern California, and farm work has been delayed, which will affect to some extent the cereal crop. The heavy rains that opened March, it is reported have damaged coming deciduous fruit crops, especially in the foothill districts. The destruction of blossoms, it is believed, materially affects the coming season's output. The unusual amount of moisture continuing in the soil has also retarded beet planting, although it has been pushed as rapidly as possible. Thinning will begin the middle of March. Winter vegetables are going forward and good prices are being realized. The car shortage it is estimated will cause loss to celery growers of $250,000. The orange market is in good shape; f.o.b. and cash orders are plentiful. The shipments for February, always the weakest month, averaged 118 carloads a day, against 115 for same month last season, and prices while not high, offer fair profit. The railroads seem to be trying to the best of their ability to meet requirements of shippers in matter of cars. The 176 daily asked for March have so far been provided. The reduction of railroad rates of 10 cents per hundred pounds, was most welcome to the grower. It means the giving up by the railroads of about $500,000 for the balance of the season. The lemon market is satisfactory, the demand is good and in competition California brings 50 to 75c per box more County Brevities Moore is wanted at Santa Ana officers succeed in placing him arrest he will have a bad half with a young lady whom he prom-marry, as well as with her whom he touched for $225.
