INSTRUCTIONS FOR OFFICERS NATIONAL GUARDSMEN TO STUDY PRINCIPLES OF ACTIVE FIELD SERVICE Adjt.-Gen. Lauck Planning Five Days' Meeting at Monterey Presidio—Regular Army Men as Tutors—Lieu Lands Controversy Settled—Notes of Interest from the State Capital (Correspondence of The Gazette) Sacramento, Feb. 29.—Tentative arrangements are being made by Adjt.-Gen. J. B. Lauck for a five days instruction camp in June at the Monterey Presidio for officers of the national guard of this state. The primary object of the proposed officers school for which U. S. regular army officers will be detailed as instructors is to enable the national guard officers to study the principles of active field service so that they will be better prepared to put these matters in practice at the October encampment and maneuvers regularly held at Atascadero. This new departure is in line with the military policy of eastern states, means marked improvement in the national guard, and is heartily endorsed by the War Department at Washington. Gen. Barry, commanding the department of California, San Francisco, will detail regular army officers from his staff and command to Monterey. There are about 300 officers of the California national guard who would be eligible to attend. The adjutant general is communicating with them to determine how many will be able to attend both the Monterey school and the Atascadero encampment. If sufficient numbers respond favorably the Monterey school will be assured. room to remain at home until a physician has passed judgment. Preliminary to advising this procedure, Secretary W. F. Snow has conducted an extended correspondence with health and other authorities as to methods in vogue in given communities. It is advised that measles patients be isolated from the earliest suspicion of the disease to the time when desquamation is entirely completed. This isolation period should be not less than 21 days from eruption. April School Election Affects All Union and Joint Union High School Trustees Under the operation of the new state law regarding trustees of union and joint union highschool districts all such trustees will go out of office on July 1, and will, if they desire to hold office again, have to appear as candidates at the approaching election for school trustees on April 1st. The new law requires the election of a board of five trustees at large from the entire territory covered in the given district. Heretofore one trustee has been elected from each district included, and some of the districts have had as many as 20 trustees, while the average is about 7. As there are 97 union and 9 joint union highschool districts in the state, a large number of trustees will be affected by this election. It was the purpose of the legislature in making this change to prevent such boards from becoming unwieldy. Where there are so many trustees in a board, they live far apart, and it is difficult to get a majority together to do business. The new law will also make it easier for new districts to be added to established union districts. The length of the terms of office of each of the five members of the new boards will be determined by lot at the or- BIG MEETINGS LOOKING DEMONSTRATION TRANSFER HERE WEDNESDAY MARCH 9 Afternoon and Evening Impart Information to Fruit Grower-Objective List of Exhibits Aboa The agricultural train of the University will arrive in Anaheim on next March 9, for an afternoon meeting.

Jafee poultry department of California, San Francisco, will detail regular army officers from his staff and command to Monterey. There are about 300 officers of the California national guard who would be eligible to attend. The adjutant general is communicating with them to determine how many will be able to attend both the Monterey school and the Atascadero encampment. If sufficient numbers respond favorably the Monterey school will be assured. The course of instruction will cover the entire field of sanitation, subsistence problems, advance and rear guard, sentry duty and general field service. Everything relating to handling forces in the open country will be covered from the bottom up. Officers will be required to take tentage as well as a private's equipment. The national guard now numbers nearly 4000 and as it is in the first line of defense, it is deemed of essential importance that its officers have every opportunity to fit themselves to impart to their troops in turn the military practice governing field movements, with particular relation to California topography. Lieu Lands Controversy Finally Ended The general land office at Washington has just sent final notice to Surveyor General Kingsbury that the efforts of himself and Atty.-Gen. Webb to adjust the 8 year controversy between the federal government and the state regarding the listing of ileu lands have met with success and that the patent conveying some 12,000 acres of school land in the Cleveland national forest, lying in Riverside and San Diego counties has been accepted in satisfaction, of an equal area of school land indemnity selections which had been over certified to the state. The government will now take up and examine with a view to clear-listing, the major portion of the state's pending indemnity selections, many of which have been held up for years. This adjustment of the controversy will enable many thousands of state applicants to obtain patents to their lands as soon as the clear lists are received from Washington. Arrangements will be made by Mr. Kingsbury to notify all state applicants as soon as action is had upon their selections.

Where there are so many trustees in a board, they live far apart, and it is difficult to get a majority together to do business. The new law will also make it easier for new districts to be added to established union districts. The length of the terms of office of each of the five members of the new boards will be determined by lot at the organization of the new boards on the second Saturday in July. Other school trustees will be elected as formerly at this election. New blanks will be forwarded to county superintendents for the calling of the election by the state office of public instruction within a few days. Figures for Election Prophets Election prophets who are prone to bolster up their predictions with "figures that do not lie" will secure complete data in the 27 page pamphlet prepared by Secretary of State C. F. Curry for general distribution containing a statement of the vote at the general election held November 3, 1908. The comparative strength of the five parties—Republican, democratic, independence, socialist and prohibition—is shown in the compilation of the vote for presidential electors. The present strength of the Lincoln-Roosevelt wing of the republican party cannot, of course, be determined from these figures. Complete figures are given for all candidates for associate justice, congressmen, judges of the superior courts, assemblymen, state senators, are given as well as for the vote for the constitutional amendments and propositions regarding the India Basin, etc. State Capitol Notes State Supt. Hyatt has called the annual convention of city and county school superintendents for the week beginning April 25 at Riverside. As the legislature will meet before the 1911 convention is held recommendations for new school legislation will form an important part of the work of the Riverside convention. Supt. Carnes of the State insectary is preparing to send out early spring shipments of the valiant lady bug to war against the melon aphis. A recent census of the insect Amazons showed the number to be within a few million one way or the other of 25,000,000, making a good sized colony. Under the caption "Some Popular Errors." R. E.

Preparing Gold Dredging and Oil Bulletin Following the issuance of Bulletin No. 56 devoted to mineral production, county maps and mining laws of California, State Mineralogist L. E. Aubury is working on a bulletin dealing with gold dredging and the oil industry of California, for which field work is now preparing. The State Board of Health is issuing an outline of procedure dealing with measles cases, stating that if it were possible to obtain the co-operation of every one so that each case could be isolated for one week prior to eruption also, measles could undoubtedly be stamped out promptly in any community. California health officers are urged to follow the procedure advised or else advise the board as to methods in vogue in their territory. Since the first of the year 2000 cases have been reported, representing 35 foci in 15 counties. As each child loses two weeks or more on account of measles it is held that the total loss of 6000 weeks of schooling in this period warrants a more vigorous campaign against measles. Health officers are asked to instruct teachers, librarians and others responsible for public entertainments to watch for children with the typical preliminary "cold" symptoms and cough and to encourage each teacher to require children presenting these symptoms from 10 to 14 days after a measles case has appeared in her isolation will form an important part of the work of the Riverside convention. Supt. Carnes of the State insectary is preparing to send out early spring shipments of the valiant lady bug to war against the melon aphis. A recent census of the insect Amazons showed the number to be within a few million one way or the other of 25,000,000, making a good sized colony. Under the caption "Some Popular Errors," R. E. Jaffa in the recently issued bulletin of the State board of health, warns against mistaken ideas concerning the nutritive value of coffee substitutes. He says that these coffee substitutes depend more for their food value, upon the milk, cream and sugar used, than upon their own soluble constituents. As an earnest preliminary to making the next State fair unusually attractive the authorities in charge are planning to bill Curtiss, the aviator, and others of the men-bird profession as stellar attractions for that week. Must Use 1910 Registration for Primary The much-awaited decision of the supreme court in regard to whether the new or the old register must be the basis for names for petitions for the August primary, is that names must be from those on the 1910 register. It is held that there is plenty of time to register between January 1 and August 16, and that candidates will have plenty of time to get names from the new register. Although some candidates up and down the state have been doing preliminary work in securing names for their petitions, the rendering of this decision means that many who have held back, will now proceed to obtain names for their petitions. The matter of sanitation for the home will be under the direct charge of Prof. E. W. Will be assisted by Mr. Hawk. The endeavor hibit will be to bring benches of California advanced in breeding, care and live stock. Lectures will be given demonstration work that direct relation to the cataloging of farm animals, of animal produce will be pliances such as the dip cornals, silos, portable wool fiber, etc., will also such information in genetics be given for local conditions gladly imparted.

It is expected that a large outpouring of citizens of Anaheim and vicinity will be present at each session. An especial invitation is extended farmers of the entire countryside to be present. The progress of the train through Southern California has been marked by large audiences at all points, and it is believed the attendance here will be a record-breaker. Everybody come, admission free. In point of personnel of speakers this demonstration excels the successful one of last year, when some of the best were with the train as speakers.

Hawk, animal industry division; Dr. C. M. Haring, veterinary division; Prof. M. E. Jeffs, poultry division; sion represents an effort toward securing these better conditions. Entomology The exhibit of the entomological division will be under the direct supervision of Prof. H. J. Quayle. This exhibit will comprise collections of insects that are of economic importance in our orchards and fields and methods for controlling them will be indicated. Insects causing loss or damage in the orange and apple orchards or the generally grown deciduous fruits will here receive special attention. The matter of economic entomology is of vast importance in California and the work of this division will be both interesting and profitable to those who may visit it. Special attention will be here given to fumigation methods and practice. Viticulture The viticulture exhibit, which will be under the charge of Prof. F. T. Bioletti, will occupy one side of the horticultural car and will consist of three principal divisions. There will be first an exhibit of cuttings, roots and vines to illustrate the best methods of starting, training and pruning a vineyard.

Poultry Division The object of the poultry exhibit is to indicate as far as possible some points worthy of mention with reference to the continuous houses and yards, is that there are three yards for two compartments. The advantage of the middle or alternate is one night say, axiomatic. It is also of interest to note the green patch intended for the use of the fowls. The feeding trough is of practical form in that it allows the birds to get at the food without there being any waste whatever. One of the main troubles with most of the broths is that the fowls are able to throw out considerable food, thus causing a waste. The exhibition of foods is made for the purpose of showing those interested in the nature of the different goods so necessary for the best results. By studying the foods and their composition one is able to make substitutions in accordance with the market prices without in any way interfering with the nutritive value or palatability of the ration. The appliances shown indicate that which is useful and at the same time sanitary. The poultry division is under the direct charge of Prof. M. E. Jaffa of the university. Animal The half car devoted to the interests of animal industries will be in charge of Prof. E. W. Major, who will be assisted by Mr. Phillips and Mr. Hawk. The endeavor of this exhibit will be to bring before the farmers of California advanced methods in breeding, care and handling of live stock.

Clarke, will consist of a full exhibit of young trees showing their condition when received from the nurseries and illustrating methods of preparation for planting. Methods of pruning will also here receive considerable attention. In this division will be found a good exhibit covering the matter of eucalyptus culture and the use of eucalypt timber. Methods of work in spraying will also be well illustrated in this division. The whole subject of the work in this division is to illustrate better and more economical methods. Plant Diseases The division of plant diseases will be under the charge of Prof. R. E. Smith of the Southern California Pathological Laboratory of the University of California. In this division will be found a full and comprehensive exhibit of the various blights, mildews, fungus growth and rusts and smuts that attack cultivated plants. Methods of control of these troubles will also be shown here. A considerable amount of attention will be paid in this division to the matter of walnut, pear and peach blight. The diseases of citrus trees will also be well exhibited here. Recognition of the various diseases of plants and control methods, so far as known, will be the keynote of this exhibit. Veterinary Science The division of veterinary science and bacteriology will be under the direct charge of Dr. C. M. Harding and will have even a more comprehensive and instructive exhibit than last year. There will be many features of interest to every one interested in the domestic animals or in farm and household sanitation. To those interested in horses the exhibit showing the more common unsoundness of these animals will be attractive. An exhibit of veterinary instruments and simple farm medicines, which have saved many a valuable animal, will furnish suggestions as to the treatment of the more common troubles of horses. To those interested in cattle an instructive exhibit of models, speci- Animal The half car devoted to the interests of animal industries will be in charge of Prof. E. W. Major, who will be assisted by Mr. Phillips and Mr. Hawk. The endeavor of this exhibit will be to bring before the farmers of California advanced methods in breeding, care and handling of live stock.

Appliances such as the dipping vat and corrals, silos, portable hog houses, wool fiber, etc., will also be shown. Such information in general that can be given for local conditions will be gladly imparted. Home Economics The division of home economics will be under the direct supervision of Mrs. E. A. Clarke. Recognizing the fact that the work of the women of the farms is continued throughout the year and that this work can be rendered easier by means of labor saving devices, the exhibit in this division is planned to be suggestive of means to lighten the labor of the house work. Especial attention is called to various modern kitchen implements and their value as labor reducers pointed out. The matter of sanitary milk supply for the home will be touched upon in this division. The Roosevelt Country Life Commission in its report laid special stress on the fact that more should be done to make woman's work upon the farm more bearable.
