LETTER FROM STATE CAPITAL CALIFORNIA FRUIT GROWERS FORM PROTECTIVE LEAGUE Demand Cheaper and Better Railroad Service, and Tariff on Imported Fruits—Advocating Growth of Eucalyptus Trees—Labor Laws of California—The Small Boy and the Mosquito — State House Brevities (Correspondence of the Gazette) Sacramento, Feb. 15. — Cheaper transportation of fruit to the east, car service and prompt transportation, and tariffs on imported fruits are primary objects of the new state-wide California Deciduous Fruit Growers Protective League which is now under process of organization. The work of the proposed league will bear a close relation to the production of deciduous fruits, grapes and nuts. J. W. Jeffrey, state horticultural commissioner, has appointed the following committee of thirty to enlist membership and to prepare for a meeting to organize the league formally and to elect officers. The committee is as follows: F. H. Buckingham, Vacaville; S. F. Leib, San Jose; C. H. Rodgers, Watsonville; August Brinck, Winters; J. P. Dargitz, Acampo; B. E. Hutchinson, Fresno; H. Wilson, Merced; L. W. Burr, Bakersfield; G. W. Ashley, Stockton; F. T. Eddinger, Sacramento; C. E. Priesing, Chico; N. P. Chipman, Red Bluff; W. J. Fulghan, Visalia; George H. Kellogg, Newcastle; Harris Weinstock, Sacramento; C.E. Hotle, Sebastopol; A. R. Galloway, Healdsburg; G. E. Lawrence, Lodi; F. B. McKevitt, Vacaville; E. O. Webb, Haywards; B. F. Walton, Yuba City; George L. Hunt, Elk statistics, has just issued his first special report. The comprehensive little volume contains much information relative to statutes bearing on labor including exemption of wages from execution, protection of employees as voters, employment agencies, child labor, protection of workmen on buildings, as well as digests of apprentice laws, mechanics' liens, and convict labor laws.The compilation was made with reference to the latest report of the U.S. Commissioner of Labor as a model.Copies may be had on application to the California Commissioner of Labor, San Francisco. The new compilation of the election laws of California which is being made under the direction of Secretary of State Charles F. Curry, is rapidly nearing completion and will be issued about May 1.The new publication will be on a larger scale than the former issue used by election boards and voters generally and will be entitled the "General Election Laws of California." An edition of 7500 will be printed. The handbook will contain the direct primary law, the purity of elections law, the portions of the California constitution relating to political subdivisions, public offices and elections, as well as the general laws for the organization of municipal corporations and their government.Among other features will be the U.S.laws relating to naturalization and the exercises of the elective franchise generally.It will include the portion of the U.S.Criminal Code relating to offenses against the elective franchise and the civil rights of citizens, adopted March 4, 1909,and which went into effect the first of this year. This is the third of four publications of general interest to be issued this year by Mr. Curry.The "Constitution of the U.S. and of California" BUTTER SCORING UNIVERSITY CIRCULATION EST TO CALIFORNIA DAIRYMEN Inaugurating an Education for Improved Butter Making—Prizes Criticism Made upon (By Herbert A.Horner)periment Station,MarylandAgricultureUniversity At a meeting of the Creamery Operators'San Francisco in Maythe discussion,on or least,led us to believewas ripe to establishnia buttermakers anButter Scoring Contest.Thera circular letter test was sent out tomakers of the Statecated,as well as toagricultural press.The gestion included theContest as well,butfof this first requestion of opinion.it didthere was little to sucontest but that theomakers were ready andscribe'to any reasonaugurate a Butter ScoringContestSo far,the creameryniad had had no oppointmit their butter ina.to scoring and critic appealed to them.Later,they came tothe plan adopted throughout the yearconditions would permeThose who are at acreameryand dailythroughoutCalifornia The eucalyptus industry has a strong exponent in State Forester G. B. Lull who will vacate his office on March 1 to become forester and field manager for a hardwood lumber company holding 6100 acres of land in Solano county which will be devoted to growing eucalyptus. "Under right management there is no better industry than of raising eucalyptus trees," says Forester Lull. "It is better even than buying timber land, when proper land and sturdy seedlings are selected, and proper care given." In speaking of his preparations for developing the Solano county land Mr. Lull said that work would be begun by ploughing two or three sections of land. Seedlings to the number of 640,000 have been contracted for, 500,000 of these being from Los Angeles. Seedlings must be 6 months old and from six to eighteen inches in height. Mr. Lull says he will use the Blue Gum and Red Forest Gum varieties, planting 680 trees to the acre and allowing to each tree a space eight feet square. He estimates that it will take ten to twelve years to realize upon the investment. California boys can all become deputy health officers if they will follow the directions of D. W. F. Snow, secretary of the State Board of Health. In the campaign of sanitation he would enlist all lively specimens of the genus "small boy," arm them with hammers and airguns and forward march them against the enemy of young and old alike—the ubiquitous mosquito.

The "Constitution of the U.S. and of California" and the "Corporation Laws of California" are both under distribution upon request at this time. The latter volume which is twice as large as the preceding compilation indicates the growth of legislation affecting corporations, and contains the new Federal Income Tax Law. The new Blue Book will be ready about July 1. The creation of an inquiry board to settle controversies between employers and employees over matters of pay, and hours and other points of difference is recommended by Harris Weinstock who was appointed special labor commissioner to examine into labor conditions and labor laws of foreign countries. Mr. Weinstock's conclusions resulting from his trip to Europe, New Zealand and Australia are set forth in a 157 page report just issued. The distribution of this report is under the direction of State Librarian James L. Gillis, Sacramento Statistics recently compiled by the State Board of Examiners show that there are more than 300 fatherless and motherless and abandoned children in the charitable institutions of the State. Dr. Charles Keane, State veterinary, has by letter demanded of the Supervisors that they appoint three inspectors in Orange county to devote their entire time to the quarantining and eradication of the southern cattle fever and the margaropus annulatus, commonly known as the Texas fever tick. A formal notice was also given the board that the disease is present in the county, the object of the notice being to enable the veterinarians to establish a quarantine. For several years sections of this county have been under quarantine and the arsenical dip has been used to kill the ticks on cattle. A part of the county is still infected. Hitherto in the fight the county has had but one inspector, County Veterinarian W. S. McFarlane of Anaheim, who is on a salary of $1500 per year and who has worked with the Federal and State officials. In his letter relating to naturalization and the exercises of the elective franchise generally. It will include the portion of the U.S. Criminal Code relating to offenses against the elective franchise and the civil rights of citizens, adopted March 4, 1909, and which went into effect the first of this year.

In the campaign of sanitation he would enlist all lively specimens of the genus "small boy," arm them with hammers and airguns and forward march them against the enemy of young and old alike—the ubiquitous mosquito. Based on the computation that an oyster can half full of rainwater will turn out fifty mosquitoes in two weeks, the campaign will best be begun by the young health officers beating all the old tin cans flat or by drilling them full of holes with B.B. shot. If the young Californian wishes to become a civil engineer on a small scale he may set to work draining or filling puddles. As all flooded basements, abandoned cesspools and forgotten windmill tanks are lurking places for the deadly enemy, they should be drained or screened. Along the creeks good work can be done by pouring kerosene or crude oil where the water moves sluggishly through the reeds. Stagnant pools should be given the same treatment. Thus when the wrigglers come up to the surface for air they will be scientifically smothered. Dr. Snow advocates the organization of an "anopheles brigade" and a genuine field or cross country meet every week or two to exterminate the malaria mosquito and its cousin, the nuisance mosquito. Malaria mosquitoes being both gymnastic and secretive stand with their heads down, and their hind legs kicked up behind. The nuisance varieties, those that do not carry disease, stand with their backs level, like flies. Under the title "Labor Laws of California," Commissioner J. D.

Hopper of the Experiment Station, Department of Agriculture, University of California.) At a meeting of the California Creamery Operators' Association at San Francisco in November, 1908, the discussion, on one occasion at least, led us to believe that the time was ripe to establish among California buttermakers an Educational Butter Scoring Contest. Some weeks later a circular letter proposing a contest was sent out to as many buttermakers of the State as could be located, as well as to the dairy and agricultural press. The original suggestion included the Cheese Scoring Contest as well, but from the results of this first request for an expression of opinion, it developed that there was little to support a cheese contest but that the creamery buttermakers were ready and willing to subscribe to any reasonable plan to inaugurate a Butter Scoring Contest. So far, the creamery men of California had had no opportunity to submit their butter in a systematic way to scoring and criticism and the plan appealed to them. As will be seen later, they came to the support of the plan adopted and continued throughout the year as steadfast as conditions would permit them to be. Those who are at all familiar with creamery and dairy conditions throughout California know that records Sending an entry without a method blank robs the criticism of three-fourths of its value.

The space between SANTA ANA The stockholders of the Richland Walnut Growers' Association of Orange held their first annual meeting on Friday, heard reports of the year's work and re-elected its board of directors for the new year. During the season this association shipped thirty-one carloads of walnuts and distributed $69,000 to the members of the association. The association was formed last year and has built a fine packing house at Orange. The annual report of A. C. Tiede, secretary of the Santa Ana Valley Walnut Growers' Association, which ships from Santa Ana, shows that in the season just ended the association shipped 925 tons of walnuts,bringing $205,000. The largest amount ever shipped by the association in a season hitherto was in 1908, when the 805 tons brought $179,000. The cost of handling the nuts this season was $3.75 per ton. That there is an organized gang of cockle smugglers, taking that shellfish from this county to Los Angeles, where they are sold to an oyster house, is the statement made by Deputy Sheriff John Devinney of Bay City. Devinney arrested three cockle diggers as they were boarding an electric car to go out of the county. With them the officer took 150 pounds of cockles. The men were arrested on a charge of violating the county ordinance prohibiting shipment of more than twenty-five pounds of shellfish a day. The men were fined $10 each. Answer to the complaint in the case of T. L. Garrison and Clara B. Garrison vs. John Resh and Belle Resh has been filed with the county clerk. The case concerns a land deal in which the defendants acting as agent for plaintiffs brought about a trade with James B. Andrews, by which forty acres belonging to plain- scribe to any reasonable plan to inaugurate a Butter Scoring Contest. So far, the creamery men of California had no opportunity to submit their butter in a systematic way to scoring and criticism and the plan appealed to them. As will be seen later, they came to the support of the plan adopted and continued throughout the year as steadfast as conditions would permit them to be. Those who are at all familiar with creamery and dairy conditions throughout California know that there is a great opportunity for educational work in the direction of improved methods in buttermaking. And while our butter output has gone forward in the past few years with leaps and bounds and now assumes immense financial proportions, it is not true that sound theory and practice has kept pace in every instance. For this reason, an educational contest for the busy buttermaker who cannot often leave the churn long enough to take a short course of instruction, seemed to offer admirable opportunity for improvement. At specified times he may ship an entry, have it scored and criticised, and thereby profit greatly. It was with these educational features in mind that the following plan was adopted. Plan of Contest 1. One class only—Creamery butter. 2. The score card recommended by the U. S. Dairy Division to be used. 3. The butter submitted to represent the regular run. 4. Each contestant limited to one 20-lb. cubical package. 5. To compete for prizes, each contestant must submit an entry to each of the six contests during the year. 6. Each contestant to prepay all express charges on his entries and donate one entry to the premium fund; the receipts from all other entries to be refunded. 7. Each entry to be scored, criticised and tested for moisture, and the results reported to the butternaker sending the entry. Premium In addition to the money obtained from the first entry, a few supply and commission men responded to our call so that the premium fund for the first year finally reached $123.96. This amount has been drawn upon in purchasing the prizes, printing the certificates and for a few minor matters concerned with the contest. With this small amount available, only two very modest prizes could be provided, so that the following rules were adopted: Pack butter in 20-lb. collapsible cube or in a cube made from clean, light lumber. The latter should be 9x9x6in. inside dimensions, and is conveniently constructed from material used in the unreturnable butter cases. Line package with parchment paper after paraffining. When shipping, place this cube inside a larger one, giving 1in.-2in. space on all sides. The space between should be packed solidly with paper. Cool cube of butter several hours before its final packing. Never ship directly from churn. Attach enclosed shipping tag to your package. Prepay express. As soon as the entries arrived at the University Farm Creamery, they were assigned a serial number which was recorded, then stripped of all identifying marks and placed in cold storage. A day or so later when placed before the judges, there was nothing to suggest to them the origin of a single entry. In addition to this, the judges worked independently of each other. The scoring was under the direction of C. L. Mitchell, a representative of the Dairy Division of the United States Department of Agriculture, who employed the standards and methods recommended by that division. WHO ARE THE DISRUPTERS? The San Francisco Chronicle fears that the unpleasantness between the insurgents and the regulars in congress might hinder legislation against the trusts and possibly disrupt the republican party. Later the Examiner began to sing the same tune, albeit pitched in a different key. Aldrich and Cannon have said something to the same effect. It cannot be doubted, of course, that the Chronicle and the Examiner, Aldrich and Cannon, are all deeply and affiliatedly concerned for such legislation as will fetch Big Business under control of just laws efficiently executed. That goes without saying. Then why should those terrible insurgents be so stubborn about "taking program" from Aldrich and Cannon, the Chronicle and the Examiner? But who are the disrupters? Why is it always those who are fighting for Right Things and never those who have entered the service of Satan at so much per line? Why, in California, are the Lincoln-Roosevelters the disrupters of the party and not the men who serve the Political Bureau of the Southern Pacific company will help us in criticising your butter.

THE NEWEST “MEAN MAN” In a western county of Kansas the dead body of an unknown man was recently discovered.In his pockets they found $100 in bank notes and a big revolver. What about it? asked the innocent one. You would expect that they'd have used that hundred in finding his relatives, or, failing in that, have given him a decent burial, now, wouldn't you? Sure. Well, they didn't, is the answer. They arraigned his dead body before a justice of the peace for carrying concealed weapons and fined him $100 and buried him in the potter's field.

This amount has been drawn upon in purchasing the prizes, printing the certificates and for a few minor matters concerned with the contest. With this small amount available, only two very modest prizes could be provided, so that the following rules were adopted: 1. A first and a second prize cup will be awarded, respectively, to the holder of the highest and the second highest average of the six scores during the year. 2. A certificate of merit will be awarded to each contestant whose six scores average 92. 3. The prizes in each case are to become the permanent possession of the winner. Method Blank In order to make valuable criticisms, it is necessary for the critic to have before him, not only the score given by the judges with their remarks, but also an outline of the method followed in making each piece of butter. To provide this information, we requested that each entry be accompanied by the answers to the following questions, in so far as they could be supplied. Only such facts are called for as seem pertinent to the subject and it would seem that any creamery should be so equipped that the buttermaker could answer them all. However, some are not and we found cases where the buttermaker failed to report acidity and other tests through mere negligence to do so. However, the method blank served a useful purpose and we hope has been the means of stimulating interest in a systematic way of keeping should those terrible insurgents be so stubborn about "taking program" from Aldrich and Cannon, the Chronicle and the Examiner? But who are the disrupters? Why is it always those who are fighting for Right Things and never those who have entered the service of Satan at so much per line? Why, in California, are the Lincoln-Roosevelters the disrupters of the party and not the men who serve the Political Bureau of the Southern Pacific company? Why, for instance, did the President—in all frankness and sincerity—decline to use his influence to obtain a reformation of the rules of the house through the expressed fear that to join issue might disrupt the party? It seems never to have occurred to him that his refusal to join that issue might disrupt his party and yet nothing that has happened in a decade has come nearer to the refusal of the President to exert his executive influence for the disrupting the republican party than reformation of the rules of the house in the interests of free government. Was Speaker Joe Cannon, or was he not, a disrupter of his party when he made a bargain with Tammany democrats whereby his power as autocrat of the house was extended for two years? And was Nelson A. Aldrich, or was he not, a disrupter of his party when he bargained with enough democratic senators, at the cost of protecting their especial inequities, to put the robber tariff through? Are those who fight for Right Things the only disrupters of political parties, or are there others?—California Weekly. For Sale: Baled barley hay, at W. H. Kennedy's ranch, 1 mile east of Benedict.
