PROF. SMITH MAKES REPORT PLANT PATHOLOGIST MAKES REPORT OF YEAR'S WORK Review of Legislation Establishing Experiment Stations at Riverside and Whittier—Scientific Problems Confronting the Orchardist—Investigating Plant Diseases Prof. Ralph E. Smith, superintendent of Southern California experiment stations, has made his annual report of work accomplished during the year. Prof. Smith has favored us with a copy of his report, and we shall quote extensively from it. His subject is one which appeals with interest to the growers of the State. At the beginning of the period covered by his report, July 1, 1906, he says, the duties of the plant pathologist were increased by his appointment to the additional position of Superintendent of the Southern California Pathological Laboratory and Experiment Stations. By this action the Forestry Station at Santa Monica and the Citrus Experiment Station at Riverside were placed in charge of this division, as well as the Laboratory of Plant Pathology at Whittier. The Forestry Station is a local substation which has for many years been under the control of the University, as one of the several substations which were formerly conducted by the Agricultural Experiment Station. The Citrus Experiment Station constitutes a branch of the work founded under the legislative act of 1905, in connection with the Southern California Pathological Laboratory. The idea of this consolidation of the three local branches was to handle all the one part of the State or another. Yet under the conditions described it is impossible to maintain an efficient organization for meeting these varying demands at short notice. A most satisfactory remedy for this condition was found for the southern part of the State in the establishment of the Southern California Pathological Laboratory. This institution, founded by the legislature of 1905 and now established in full working order, is maintained by regular appropriations like other State institutions, and may thus be administered efficiently and economically to carry on continuous work on the most important problems which present themselves, with no embarrassing limitations or violent fluctuations in the available funds. The Laboratory has been housed in a permanent building at Whittier, is well equipped for its purpose, has a permanent, well-organized working force and is thus able to cover this field with increasing satisfaction and with much economy to the State, as compared with the system of irregular appropriations for specific investigations or for seeking cures for certain troubles. Previous to the meeting of the legislature of 1907 a considerable variety of undertakings was urged upon the division with the object of seeking special appropriations for their support. This included the continuation of the pear blight work, work on the peach blight, a disease which had suddenly assumed very serious proportions, demands for local laboratories in a number of sections, suggested by the establishment of the Southern California Laboratory, and a variety of other projects. So numerous and varied were these suggestions that much confusion would have resulted had they all been presented to the legislature in the form of special appropriation bills and the carry-on part of the State or another. Yet under the conditions described it is impossible to maintain an efficient organization for meeting these varying demands at short notice. Under this law to commence operations and demolish serious plant nurseries northern California now being active law is intended manent work in northern California; the results of as to warrant that port of the State maintaining activity as well as others of the division. In connection with establishment at Davis has occurred that development at the F.P.'s practical operation on a larger scale led at Berkeley in work on A very gratifying development in biology in California tendency to afflict that of the various United States nature.

The idea of this consolidation of the three local branches was to handle all the sub-station work in Southern California under one management. Shortly before this time the old sub-station located near Pomona was given up and the land reverted to the original owner, the work being carried on to better advantage by the newly created stations. With the development of the Division of Plant Pathology during the six years of its existence the demand for plant disease investigation has more than kept pace. The present report extends from July 1, 1906, to June 30, 1909, covering a period composed of the second year of one biennial legislative period and the whole of another. The work of this time has therefore been divided into two quite distinct portions. The year 1906-07, being the second year of the period from July, 1905, to July, 1907, was occupied by this division largely in the continuation of several special investigations, founded on appropriations of the legislature of 1905, which have already been reported on up to July, 1906, in our last report. (Bulletin No. 184, Report of the Plant Pathologist to July 1, 1906.) These were the Pear Blight work, established by a special appropriation of $10,000 for this purpose, the Walnut Blight investigation, also provided for by the State with a $4000 appropriation, the Beet Blight investigation, supported by a private subscription of $1000 raised by the Spreckels Sugar company, and the Lemon Rot investigation, carried on under a fund of $1000 contributed by the lemon interests of Southern California. During the first year covered by the present report the activities of the division were largely confined to these special undertakings by force of circumstances. Funds in the amounts specified were fairly liberal to support the work, half of each amount being available for the year 1906-07, but it was impossible to pay much attention to other work.

undertakings by force of circumstances. Funds in the amounts specified were fairly liberal to support the work, half of each amount being available for the year 1906-07, but it was impossible to pay much attention to other work. During the period of these special appropriations from 1905 to 1907 it became very evident that such a method of financial support for the investigation of plant diseases is far from ideal. The result has been that while it was possible to give a large amount of attention to these problems during the period covered by the appropriations, it was impossible to lay out the work and develop the division on a permanent basis or put it into good shape for continuous satisfactory work on whatever problems might arise. At the end of the fiscal year 1906-07 this division had at its disposal a considerable number of well-trained assistants who had become experienced in work in California and who would have been of great and increasing value for continued work in the investigation of different plant diseases or other lines of agricultural experimentation. As a result, however, of the discontinuance of these special investigations on pear blight, etc., at the end of the biennial period, no funds were available for keeping up this working force and they were lost to the Station. Moreover, it is extremely difficult to secure competent help for these limited periods of special work with no guarantee of regular continuance. It is certain that, with each succeeding legislature, demands will be made for appropriations to support work of the nature carried on by this division in "An act providing for the investigation of the nature and means of control of destructive diseases of cultivated plants in those portions of the state not benefited by the Southern California Pathological Laboratory, and making an appropriation therefor. "The people of the State of California, represented in senate and assembly, do enact as follows: "Section 1. The regents and president of the University of California are hereby directed to maintain in connection with the agricultural experiment, work of the university in those portions of the state not benefited by the Southern California Pathological Laboratory a scientific station or laboratory with the necessary equipment for the investigation of the nature and means of control of injurious and destructive diseases of cultivated trees, plants and crops. "Section 2. They are directed to make or cause to be made investigations of such troubles as pear blight, olive knot, apricot failures, pear scab, apple diseases, root rot, root knot, diseases of tomatoes, potatoes, asparagus, onions and other vegetables, and such other plant diseases as may be called to their attention. They shall also furnish information and practical demonstrations to the growers of these crops as to the best means of control for such diseases. "Section 3.

This platinum was all produced at placer mines in Butte, Humboldt, Siskiyou, Trinity, Calaveras, Sacramento, and Del Norte counties, three-fourths of it having been mined in Butte county. The values of California's output of gold, silver, and platinum in 1907 were $16,727,928, $751,646, and $8900 respectively. The quantity of silver mined in the State in 1907 was 1,138,858 ounces; the quantity of platinum mined was 300 ounces. The record of the State's production of these metals in 1908 therefore shows considerable gains over the production in 1907. The value of the gold produced in the State in 1905 was slightly in excess of the value for 1908, but with that exception the figures for gold and silver production in 1908 are the largest attained within the last decade. The production of gold and silver by counties is shown in the following table: | COUNTY | GOLD | SILVER | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | Amador | $1,876,174 | $13,239 | | Butte | 3,139,398 | 12,708 | | Calaveras | 1,378,511 | 62,727 | | Colusa | 578 | 6 | | Del Norte | 3,488 | 18 | | Eldorado | 342,033 | 5,504 | BALLINGER AND GLAVIS Former Should Answer Charges Made by Latter A perfunctory and general denial by Secretary Ballinger of the facts set forth by Mr. Glavis, in his article in Collier's Weekly, will not satisfy the country. Mr. Glavis has been circumstantial and specific. He has quoted telegrams, letters and official records. He has given points of conversations Mr. Ballinger, in order to convince the people that Mr. Glavis is wrong must be equally circumstantial and specific. Mr. Glavis does not accuse Mr. Ballinger of criminal conduct. His article amounts to a charge that Mr. Ballinger endeavored to bring about a situation in which the Cunningham claims to Alaska coal deposits, worth potentially a vast fortune, could be validated, although Mr. Ballinger knew that the Cunningham claims were under suspicion. Attorney-General Wickersham, according to Mr. Glavis, by reversing a decision of the Department of the Interior, prevented fraudulent Alaska claims from going to patent. The coal lands of Alaska, owned by the government, Mr. Glavis says, amount to over 100,000 acres. They are the future coal supply of the nation and are of almost inestimable value. Possession of them by private individuals means great wealth. A monopoly of them would be a national menace. About 900 claims have been filed on these lands. Mr. Glavis obtained evidence tending to show that most of these 900 individual entries were made by dummies with a preconceived idea of assigning them to a single interest. Such an intention invalidates the entries. Mr. Glavis asserts that Mr. Ballinger, before a Recent years in California have seen a significant increase in activities related to labor and agriculture. It has been the aim of this division to conduct its work as to operate completely in harmony with the agents of the department and avoid as much as possible any duplication of work or misunderstanding. It is believed that the best results may be secured by segregation of the various workers on different problems or different phases of the same problem, rather than an attempt at combined work upon the same subject. So long as a clear understanding exists as to the plans and undertakings of the Station and Department, there is no obstacle to harmonious work, and the field is broad enough for the utilization of every possible agency which can be brought into action. It is particularly undesirable, however, that representatives of the State Station and those of the United States Department should be working in the same field along more or less similar lines without such an understanding and a complete mutual knowledge of what is being undertaken. The correspondence of the division is continually growing, involving a great variety of questions regarding all sorts of troubles with plants, which leads to a continual broadening of the experience of those connected with the work. The practice of personal inspection on the part of the plant pathologist and his assistants, requiring a large amount of traveling to various parts of the State, is considered highly desirable for work of this sort. Though much time is consumed in this way, it is impossible otherwise to keep in touch with agricultural conditions in a State of the size and peculiarities of California. The establishment of the Southern California Laboratory has been of great advantage in this respect, furnishing a local headquarters for the work in one of the most important sections of the state.

GRAND JURORS Instructed to Appear In Court And Answer to Roll Call Judge West has instructed the thirty men whose names were put upon the grand jury venire last January to appear in court at 10 o'clock Possession of them by private individuals means great wealth. A mony opoly of them would be a national menace. About 900 claims have been filed on these lands. Mr. Glavis obtained evidence tending to show that most of these 900 individual entries were made by dummies with a preconceived idea of assigning them to a single interest. Such an intention validates the entries. Mr. Glavis asserts that Mr. Ballinger before a committee of the House of Representatives urged a change in the law by which fraudulent entries could be made valid, by which the Cunningham group and the other Alaska claims would have received patents to practically 100,000 acres of Alaska coal fields. After Ballinger had ceased to be Commissioner of the General Land Office he became attorney for one of the Cunningham claimants. A statute prohibited his taking such employment. President Taft exculpates Ballinger for this, but the comment of Glavis on the President's position is worth reading. He says that Mr. Ballinger was attorney for other Alaska coal claimants and, according to sworn information made to him, for at least one congressman interested in Alaska coal lands. Another point made by Glavis is on the President's statement that Ballinger, as attorney, advised that the Cunningham group could not obtain patents—presumably Glavis adds because the entries were not under the law made in good faith for the benefit of each entryman. "Nevertheless," says Glavis, "the affidavit of Mr. Cunningham presented by Mr. Ballinger to Secretary Garfield after he became attorney for the Cunningham group and other Alaska coal claimants,and which attempts to explain away the fraudulent character of the claims is now the chief obstacle to government success in the Cunningham cases." Apparently these Cunningham claims had strong influence behind them; and Collier's Weekly intimates that the Guggenheim interests were at the back of it all. Certainly the Department of the Interior under Mr. Ballinger has not been so zealous to secure the Hetch-Hetchy privileges for the city of San Francisco as it seems to have been to secure those coal claims in Alaska to the 900 entrymen. If the objections to San Francisco's claims in the ATTORNEY FINED FOR MISCONDUCT A complaint was sworn to at Santa Ana some days ago by Attorney Fergus as secretary of the Orange County Bar Association, charging Attorney Dick Harding with a misdemeanor. The basis of the complaint is an advertisement inserted in a Santa Ana paper by Attorney Harding. The complaint charges that Harding "advertised to procure and to aid in procuring and obtaining divorce and severance of marriage and offering to act as attorney in suits of divorce. Under the state laws, this constitutes a misdemeanor. Following the insertion of the advertisement, the matter was taken up by the bar association and a committee consisting of Attorneys Head, Bishop and Williams was appointed to take action in the matter. Harding, hearing a complaint was sworn to, came into court and pleaded guilty. He was fined $10, which he paid. Imported Winningsted cabbage seed at Dickel's.

That I have, bedad, replied the other. I was up before the magistrate last week for assaulting Cassidy, and the magistrate said that if I came back on the same charge he would fine me two pounds. Did lie, said the first speaker. And you're working hard so as to keep your hands off Cassidy? Don't believe it, said the industrious man. I'm working hard to save up the money. Apparently these Cunningham claims had strong influence behind them; and Collier's Weekly intimates that the Guggenheim interests were at the back of it all. Certainly the Department of the Interior, under Mr. Ballinger, has not been so zealous to secure the Hetch-Hetchy privileges for the city of San Francisco as it seems to have been to secure those coal claims in Alaska to the 900 entrymen. If the objections to San Francisco's claims in the Hetch-Hetchy and Lake Eleanor were half as strong as the objections to the coal grab in Alaska the Department of the Interior would drop the matter as if it were red hot. And it is noteworthy that, although the appropriators of the coal measures propose to dig away a beautiful mountain, scar a lovely landscape with collieries, and stain the sweet, pure snow for miles around with coal dust, not a nature-faker has cropped up at Washington to protest. A WOMAN TO PIN HIS FAITH TO Peculiar woman, my wife; very literal. Why, the pin money I give her she invariably spends for pins. Um. Overstocked, aren't you? Oh, no. You see, there are hat, hair, neck, shawl, safety, clothes and rolling pins. When this list is exhausted, I've no doubt she'll have us dining on terrapins. PERHAPS SHE DID Bridget, said a Ludlow lady, have you turned the gas on in the parlor, as I told you? Yis, mum; can't ye smell it? A bunch of winners in the auto line: Durocar, Studebaker, E-M-F and Hupmobile. Wm. F. Lutz Co., Santa Ana. THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 18 THERE'LL COME A TIME when you will need money, and need it badly.
