S., nosed out at the finish, lost its chance of entering the final debate for the Southern California championship. It was hard lines. It was an uphill fight. Nebelung, the star of the school, strove valiantly to stem the tide of defeat which menaced the locals, after his colleague had practically thrown the debate away. Participating in three debates this year and last, and taking first honors in each of them, he was looked to snatch victory from what looked like inevitable defeat. The net result was the winning of two of them, but the third he could not win unassisted. Scott and Colby were clever, easily outclassing Burns, but Nebelung shone as the star of the bunch. Sixty-seven rooters accompanied the Angel City debaters on a special train, and they made a plenty of noise once they found seats in the hall. Owing to repairs in progress at the opera-house, the debate was pulled off at Kroeger's hall, which was crowded at half after 7, with local enthusiasts surrounding the bunch of imported rooters. The locals, led by Cyril Tipton, returned volley for volley, and for a time seemed to frighten into silence the big birds from up the valley. For a time L.A.H. was silent, and taking their cue, the local kids redoubled their din. As rainfalls following an engagement on the battlefield, heavy showers descended, adding to the noisy welcome the boys extended the feathered songsters of the recall town. The girls, led by Miss Lillie Zeus, sang school songs, adding to the merriment and the din. Elton Goble, president of the graduating class, called the meeting to order, and read the rules governing the debate.

The Southern Pacific company is making it possible for the University of California and the State Board of Horticulture to bring before the farmers and fruit growers, as well as all persons interested in stock growing, an exhibit of methods of culture, uses of materials, selection of seeds and manner of culture of grain crops, together with the common diseases of animals and plants and their treatment and prevention. ties shown.

Yet, unaffected by the fact which seemed to overwhelm him, he began the delivery of the perfectly presented, as well as the most argumentative and ful, argument of the evening. For faltering, he went at it hammer and tongs, disputing and dishing the contention of his adversaries, until at his close, it seemed A.U.H.S. had a chance of win. His argument outweighed that with his antagonists, his delivery were more nearly perfect, in vocal exercise of course they linked him two to one. He had first place in individual points leading Colby 24 points and Scott points. He tried hard to win, with Burns bringing up the rear points behind him, that was imple. Yells greeted the announcement that L.A.H.S. had won. The seven rooters boarded their escorting the winning team at the hall. One of the judges decided in favor of A.U.H.S., the other two were for H.S. With the defeat A.U.H.S. loses the unity of entering the final de-for the championship. FAVORS IMPROVEMENTS Are you going to sign up for the pavements?" inquired a citizen Tim Carroll the other day. Certainly I am," responded Tim,avor all civic improvements. I two lots on one of the streets paved, and I am going to sign pavements. Want to see cement sidewalks to West Anaheim. This town sowing, and I don't propose to is making it possible for the University of California and the State Board of Horticulture to bring before the farmers and fruit growers, as well as all persons interested in stock growing, an exhibit of methods of culture, uses of materials, selection of seeds and manner of culture of grain crops, together with the common diseases of animals and plants and their treatment and prevention. This train is similar to the "corn trains" of the middle west, except that it runs in a more diversified country and carries exhibits suited to all parts of that country. Only a few of the many things to be seen in the train can be noted and visitors have frequently been heard to say that they wished they had several days in which to look at the exhibits instead of a few hours. The space devoted to grape culture included vines in all stages from cuttings for the nursery to mature vines, showing the manner of pruning and training. The space opposite the vines was taken by a showing of insects which transmit disease to man and beast. These include mosquitoes, fleas and flies, of which the common house fly more than does an equal part in carrying diseases. It should be kept out of the houses. Since 95 per cent of the house flies are bred in manure piles at the barns it becomes a simple matter to prevent such breeding by removing the manure or keeping it under cover and in the dark, so that flies cannot reach it. An exhibit of soils taken to the depth of 12 feet shows how much better the California soils are than the average eastern soil, as this shows humus, or decaying vegetable matter, to the full depth of the sample, while the average depth to which humus is found in soils east of the Rocky mountains is only two feet, and often only a few inches. Various arsenical poisons for destroying insects on fruit trees are also shown, together with pumps and nozzles needed to apply them.

All of them taking a good polish and many that can be used for any purpose that other hard woods now supply. All forage producers and stockmen are interested in the new Arabian alfalfa which produces much moreonnage than the common, or Chilian variety, and at the same time superior article of hay. There are but, a few small fields of this variety at present and no seed has been produced in this state, but it is hoped that the present season will see seed put on the market. Arabian alfalfa has a soft straw that can be readily eaten by cattle, while theucaidor which is valuable as a drout, resisting alfalfa, has hard, woody stems and makes considerable waste. The value of seed selection and better methods of farming is shown by the various exhibits of grain. Wheat, barley, oats, corn, Kafir corn, sorghum and Milo maize being known. The average production of wheat in the state is only 900 pounds per acre, while with good cultivation and seed selection a yield of 200 pounds has been obtained. The veterinary exhibit shows the common diseases of farm animals and their methods of prevention, special attention being given to tuberculosis.

The exhibition cars were sent to Whittier at the end of the present trip in order that further exhibits relating to oranges, lemons and walnuts could be put in place for the next trip, which will include the coast districts from Santa Ana to Santa Barbara. The date of this trip has not been determined but will be within a few weeks, when our readers will be given an opportunity of seeing this very valuable and instructive exhibit. Mr. Neff said yesterday that he had no news of the time of arrival here of the demonstration train, but expressed the opinion it would be about April 15th. The cars are now being filled with new exhibits at Whittier. The train will make stops, after leaving Los Angeles on its trip hither, at Downey, Norwalk and Buena Park, and will probably arrive here at 3:30 in the afternoon. The train will be open to inspection by visitors during the remainder of the afternoon, and in the evening a meeting will be held at the opera-house.

The average production of wheat in the state is only 900 pounds per acre, while with good cultivation and seed selection a yield of 200 pounds has been obtained. The veterinary exhibit shows the common diseases of farm animals and their methods of prevention, special attention being given to tuberculosis of animals and the danger of transmission to human beings using either the flesh or milk of the animals. There is an exhibit of plant diseases, including rusts, blights and nuts, as well as the bacterial diseases, and the methods of control. One exhibit consists of a large number of bottles containing insects taken from fruits and plants that were brought to San Francisco by aa, and would have been introduced but for the vigilance of the quarantine officer. Among these are the helon maggot, the orange maggot and others equally destructive. The whitty is shown in its various stages of growth and the difference between that which is so destructive to the orange trees and that which is harmless. Scale insects of all kinds known to the horticulturist are shown, as well as the insects which are beneficial, and a complete fumigating outfit is shown in miniature with the tents marked according to Prof. Woglums' plan to show at once the needed amounts of fumigating materials. A continuous lecture is given by the attendant so that everything may be understood by the visitors, and addition there are lectures in the evening. It is not expected that complete information can be imparted in the short time which can be devoted to any particular subject, but it can be known that there is something more to be learned about agriculture which will pay the hearers to learn, and this way to create the desire for knowledge that will be profitable to the farmer, and induce him to attend farmers' institutes where complete discussion of topics can be had, or attend the short courses of the Whittier. The train will make stops after leaving Los Angeles on its trip hither, at Downey, Norwalk and Buena Park, and will probably arrive here at 3:30 in the afternoon. The train will be open to inspection by visitors during the remainder of the afternoon, and in the evening a meeting will be held at the opera-house. Dr. Wheeler, president of the university; Prof. Wickson, dean of the agricultural college at Berkeley; Prof. Clarke, State Horticultural Commissioner Jeffrey and other agricultural scientists will be with the train. It is hoped a large attendance of farmers and business men will be at the train and also attend the meeting in the evening. Large crowds have attended the meetings held elsewhere in the state, and Anaheim should turn out en masse. FACTS ABOUT RAINFALL Mr. Neff Reports 21.81 Inches for Season—Interesting Data Mr. Neff has kindly favored us with the following interesting data of the rainfall: The rainfall of 1883-4 was 27.29 inches, of which April had 1.75 May had .54 and June 1.28, or 3.57 inches after April 1st. The rainfall of 1884-5 amounted to only 5.76 inches, of which nearly all fell in December. 21.12 inches fell in 1889-90, of which 11.32 fell in December, 1889, .78 in March 1890 and nothing later. The next year was one with plentiful rain and had 15.92 inches, of which 9.04 fell in February and 1.81 in April. This season has 21.81 inches to its credit on March 31st, of which 4.04 inches fell in March. It frequently happens that no rain falls after April 1st, but 2.78 inches fell in May 1883 and 1.48 inches in May 1892. The average rainfall is about 11 inches but several years have fallen below half that amount and 1878-9 had only 4.19 inches. For Haviland China see A.
