PRACTICAL TALK BY EXPERTS SCIENTISTS TELL OF EXPERIMENTS AND RESEARCH Distinguished Men from the Demonstration Train Address Interested Audience—The Orange Scale and Practical Use of Fertilizers Topics The audience which assembled at the opera-house Wednesday evening of last week to greet the scientific men from the Demonstration Train was not so large as the one which met the train at the Southern Pacific depot in the afternoon, but most of those present were practically interested in the objects of the meeting and were there because they expected to learn something. Prof. W. T. Clarke, superintendent of the agricultural and horticultural division, called the meeting to order and made a brief address on the objects of the train and its work and results. He said the train was becoming more popular as people of the state became better acquainted with its work, and the audiences which greeted it now were three-fold greater than a year ago. During the past year, he said, the train had traveled between six and seven thousand miles, and more than 50,000 people had visited it. L. A. Valla of Santa Ana, commercial agent of the Southern Pacific, talked briefly about his road's connection with the train, and told why the Southern Pacific financed it. The interests of the railroad, he said, were identical with the interests of the growers, and the larger crops in Southern California meant heavier tonnage for the railroad. This train, he said, consists of five cars, and is the largest and best equipped train sent out by the Southern Pacific. He thanked chamber of commerce and Canadian peas 1500; cow peas 1000. At the close of Prof. Norton's talk the audience was dismissed. FUTURE FOREST CENTER California Will Soon Become Chief Source of Lumber Supply No native tree of the United States has become entirely extinct but the commercial supply of every kind of timber is seriously reduced. The United States grows at least twenty important kinds of trees which produce in 100 years or some less, timber fit for the saw and factory. The trees on the Pacific coast mature more rapidly. The exhaustion of the present timber supply remaining in the same degree of continuance, it appears that the Pacific coast will be the timber producing center of the union. In California the continuous timber-producing problem is already solved. A tree superior in merit to many of these slow-growing eastern trees, and inferior to none, will arrive at a mature age in one-fifth of the time required by any other hardwood timber trees. That tree is eucalyptus. Eucalyptus is confined to the valleys and the lowlands where it is accessible to cultivation and where the heavy forests cannot reach them. In favorable localities, redwoo,d Douglas Fir, and other firs, and western yellow pine, will grow saw timber in from 3 to 5 years for posts, 5 to 10 years for ties, and from the age of 10 years and on is considered merchantable timber for any other purposes. The Forestry Society advises the planting of hardy trees on the mountain slopes and upper elevations to conserve the water supply. It advises the planting of eucalyptus to conserve the commercial timber supply. While the eastern hardwoods are requiring 50 to 100 years to reprod- L. A. Valla of Santa Ana, commercial agent of the Southern Pacific, talked briefly about his road's connection with the train, and told why the Southern Pacific financed it. The interests of the railroad, he said, were identical with the interests of the growers, and the larger crops in Southern California meant heavier tonnage for the railroad. This train, he said, consists of five cars, and is the largest and best equipped train sent out by the Southern Pacific. He thanked chamber of commerce and the newspapers of Anaheim for the publicity given them. Prof. C. W. Woodworth, of the department of entomology, was then introduced and made the principal address of the evening. Fumigation was his subject, and he told of the results of his researches and experiments. He recommends the use of sodium cyanide instead of cyanide of potassium, and finds that a different sized dose should be used for the different scale. For a ten-foot tree, according to his experiments, the following dose of sodium cyanide should be used: For black scale, 5 to 6 ounces. For red scale, 6 to 7 ounces. For purple scale, 7 to 8 ounces. The dose should be graduated according to the size of the tree and for a twenty-foot tree four times the above dose should be used. It is much easier, he claims, to kill the bugs on a large tree than on a small one, owing to the leakage being greater in a small tent. He finds, by experiment, that after an hour's burning, in a 20-foot tent only 40 per cent of the gas had escaped, in a 10-foot tent 85 per cent, and in a 5-foot tent only 7 per cent remained. On being asked whether he would recommend a heavier dose for a tree badly effected he answered no; a dose that would kill one insect would kill a thousand; and the same dose should be used regardless of the condition of the tree. Some one in the audience enquired about the effectiveness of lime and ashes on the mealy bug, stating that he had been informed they killed it in Florida by that method. The professor answered that he had been among the trees in Florida and found that fumigation was the only method in use there, as ashes and lime had little or no effect on the mealy bug. Prof. Norton was then introduced and made an entertaining and instructive talk on the practical use of fertilizer. Fourteen chemical elements, he said, enter into the construction It is passing strange that people should live in Arkansas so long and not discover before this that there is a diamond field there. Arkansas has known that its fertile soil was good for many things, including tall corn and tall razorback hogs of the fast express sort, so rapid in their gait that none could tell whether or not they were composed of a streak of lean or a streak of fat, being visible to the naked eye in the course of their progress as simply a streak. When one of these porkers was brought down by firing a bullet some 15 yards ahead of it with such precision that the course of the razorback and the course of the bullet formed a right-angled triangle, the pleasing disclosure was eventually made that no ham or bacon on earth is equal to the acorn-fed product of the Arkansas razorback. Antifat swine are a chosen race, and may the Arkansas species never lean toward lard and the gross avoirdupois of their better-bred brethren of the stye. But Arkansas must now become more famed for its gems than for its tall corn, its gaunt, appetizing hams and its excellent moonshine whisky (so we are informed). Arkansans, particularly in Pike county, have gone about their business not neglecting as in the words of the Sunday-school song, "to gather up the sunshine that lies all about their path," but totally overlooking the diamonds that bestrewed the same vicinity. One of Tiffany's experts from New York has been examining the diamond fields and says: "I believe will grow saw timber in from 3 to 5 years for posts, 5 to 10 years for ties, and from the age of 10 years and on is considered merchantable timber for any other purposes. The Forestry Society advises the planting of hardy trees on the mountain slopes and upper elevations to conserve the water supply. It advises the planting of eucalyptus to conserve the commercial timber supply. While the eastern hardwoods are requiring 50 to 100 years to reproduce, the timber supply is being surely exhausted. Planters of eucalyptus now will in ten to fifteen years be contributing to the timber demands of the nation. So far as filling the bill in quality, eucalyptus is a hardwood, beautifully grained, takes a high polish, is durable and the profits are attractive. DIAMOND FIELDS NOT FAR AWAY It is passing strange that people should live in Arkansas so long and not discover before this that there is a diamond field there. Arkansas has known that its fertile soil was good for many things, including tall corn and tall razorback hogs of the fast express sort, so rapid in their gait that none could tell whether or not they were composed of a streak of lean or a streak of fat, being visible to the naked eye in the course of their progress as simply a streak.

Prof. Norton was then introduced and made an entertaining and instructive talk on the practical use of fertilizer. Fourteen chemical elements, he said, enter into the construction of a plant. Nature supplies the most of these, but the grower must assist nature to get the best results by thoroughly and systematically fertilizing the ground. Nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium are the essential elements, and stable manure supplies these provided it is handled in such a way that they are not allowed to escape by evaporation. The actual money value of these elements in stable manure produced from different feeds, the professor said, are as follows: One ton wheat straw, $3.50. One ton barley straw, $7.50. One ton wheat bran, $12.00. One ton alfalfa hay, $12.50. One ton cotton seed meal, $35.00. The proper manner of handling stable manure, he said, was to collect it in a water-tight pit or trench so as to preserve the liquid, spread it on the ground in winter time, and plow it under deeply. The gases will escape through the surface if the plowing is shallow, making it worthless as a fertilizer. Speaking of vegetable fertilizers experiments proved, he said, that an average crop of vetch would yield 2100 pounds per acre; clover 1800; Arkansans, particularly in Pike county, have gone about their business not neglecting as in the words of the Sunday-school song, "to gather up the sunshine that lies all about their path," but totally overlooking the diamonds that bestrewed the same vicinity. One of Tiffany's experts from New York has been examining the diamond fields and says: "I believe the discoveries in Arkansas promise great results. I have been over the region and made close personal examination. Some of the stones found have been cut by different houses and prove to be of fine quality. The whites are very white and clear, the browns a good brown. I consider them equal to the South African diamonds in quality." Within the past three years there have been found on the surface of this region 700 diamonds, varying in size from mere chips to 61-2 karats, the average being about 1 karat. There's no telling how many karats the diamonds may be below the surface if the deposit does not change its mind and decide to become a bed of barren blue shale, something like the "gold" veins of Western Kansas. Pike county is apparently not yet excited. It has no other "fever" except the occasional sporadic cases of "chills and ager," to which western folk are accustomed.

The burglaries are supposed to have been committed after 2 o'clock in the morning, when the electric street arcs are put out for the night. At the first-named place $8.70 was taken from the cash drawer in the office, together with two suits of clothes, several pairs of shoes, shirts, underwear, suspenders and other articles, in all to the value of about $40. At Heitshusen's $30 was taken from the money drawer and from a sack containing gold and silver earnings placed behind the bar. A quantity of liquor in bottles was also taken. When J. F. Ahlborn entered the store at half-past 5 o'clock on Thursday morning and went to the office, he noticed nothing wrong, and busied himself with his correspondence and other matters of business claiming his attention. The interior of the store being dark, he did not notice a quarter-inch rope ladder hanging from the skylight, nor the disarranged clothing upon the display tables. At half-past 6 as he was going to the front part of the store, his attention was attracted to the disarranged articles in the clothing department. He paused, and beheld the rope ladder dangling from overhead. The floor ready to pump lead into their visitors, but they were evidently frightened away, for in a few minutes an auto sped rapidly out down the street, heading out of town. At 8 o'clock on Thursday evening a red auto containing two strange people drove in and stopped at the alley in rear of the premises burglarized the preceding night.The man seen in the poolroom at 10 o'clock is believed to have been one of them. Officers were notified of the burglaries and are working on the cases. There is little likelihood of an arrest. Three young men working at the association's packing house, returning up town shortly before midnight, claim to have seen a man on the roof of Ahlborn & Raymond's store. A red auto stood at the alley in rear of the burglarized premises. They attempted to notify the officers, but were unable to do so. FULLERTON TEAM REINSTATED Amateur Athletic Union Finds Members Are Not Professionals The Fullerton high school has been restored to ranks of the Amateur Athletic Union, and the charges of professionalism against Prof. Delbert Brunton, coach of the baseball team, and the team itself, have been proven untrue before the board of managers of the A.A.U. The board acted hastily and on misleading information, and expelled the Fullerton players from the A.A.U. A short time ago Brunton and another person interested in Southern California athletics were discussing a rule of the A.A.U. defining professionalism. The man with whom Brunton was talking stated that under the rule every person, under any condition, who played on a team against any team that had a professional player in it was a professional.Brun- BOYS RUN OUT TRAMPS Burly Hobo With Gun In Hip Pocket and His Pal Hit the Trail A crowd of Anaheim boys on Friday night just before midnight gave the grand bounce to a couple of suspicious characters who were making themselves obnoxious at Whetzel's poolroom. The hoboes were loud in denunciation of the town and county, and the boys became weary of their outgivings. One of them walked into the poolroom and eyed the place from one end to the other. He came out and joined his pal, who leaned against a telephone pole. One of the fellows had a large revolver in his hip pocket. It was plainly seen by the boys, who thought it was time to put the chaps on a hike. "What's this you have in your pocket?" one of the boys asked, placing his hand upon the gun. "Don't say anything about it,"the hobo replied, "I'm in the business." The town boy took him by the collar and shoved him into the street, telling him to be off. The hobo ran in one direction, while his pal made off in another. The boys set after them. The hoboes are probably going yet. ANSWERS EVERY CALL Anaheim People Have Found That This Is True A cold, a strain, a sudden wrench. A little cause may hurt the kidneys. Spells of backache often follow. Or some irregularity of the urine. A certain remedy for such attacks, A medicine that answers every call, Is Doan's Kidney Pills, a true specific. Thousands of people rely upon it. Here is one case: A. B. Houston, 263 E. Ninth St., Riverside, Cal., says: "I willingly recommend Doan's Kidney Pills." himself with his correspondence and other matters of business claiming his attention. The interior of the store being dark, he did not notice a quarter-inch rope ladder hanging from the skylight, nor the disarranged clothing upon the display tables. At half-past 6 as he was going to the front part of the store, his attention was attracted to the disarranged articles in the clothing department. He paused, and beheld the rope ladder dangling from overhead. The floor was littered with broken glass. Two panes had been broken in the skylight. The shoe department was in disorder. The thieves had ransacked the place, and several pairs of high-priced shoes were stolen. The thieves picked out small sizes, 6 1/2 or 7's. Shoes in boxes were piled up indiscriminately upon the counter. The rear door had been unlocked from the inside, but was closed. Going upon the roof Mr. Ahlborn found the rope tied securely to the skylight. The rope was quarter-inch in size, hanging in two lengths, with knots tied at intervals of a foot, making a rope-ladder. In the yard were freshly made tracks leading to the side gate opening up upon the street in rear of the building. At Heitshusen's the thieves entered by prying open a window in a rear room. Once inside they unbolted and unlocked the rear door. As near as can be learned $30 was taken from the money drawer and a sack secreted behind the bar. Fred Borchard, the barkeeper, arrived at the cafe at 20 minutes to 6. He saw the rear door standing open. A hasty examination showed the place had been burglarized and the premises ransacked. At half-past 2 o'clock on Friday morning a man climbed up a ladder at the rear of Whetzel's poolroom and walked across to the skylight. The premises adjoin those of the Ahlborn store. Clarence Whetzel and Rudolph Roessler were in the poolroom, with two double-barreled shotguns loaded with buckshot. At 10 o'clock on Thursday evening a stranger entered the place and took seat while he watched a game of pool. He shortly went to the rear of the building, pretending to get a drink of water. Mr. Whetzel, proprietor of the place, doubts if the fellow drank any water. He filled a glass and pretended to drink, but evidently had little or no thirst. The man walked into the rear yard and in a moment returned. He remained in acted hastily and on misleading information, and expelled the Fullerton players from the A.A.U. A short time ago Brunton and another person interested in Southern California athletics were discussing a rule of the A.A.U. defining professionalism. The man with whom Brunton was talking stated that under the rule every person, under any condition, who played on a team against any team that had a professional player in it was a professional.Brunton replied that the rule could not be taken that strictly, for the two big universities of the state play their teams against professional and semi-professional teams during the seasons preparatory to the intercollegiate series. That being the case, Brunton said that he was a professional, and if he was a professional then the Fullerton team was professional and all the teams it had played with were professional. Some unfriendly person heard of this conversation and reported to the A.A.U. that Brunton said he and his team were professionals. Immediately the Fullerton team was expelled from the A.A.U. and other teams were warned not to play with it. Brunton attended the meeting of the board of the A.A.U. in Los Angeles, crossed swords with the bunch, and came off victor. The Fullerton team was reinstated. VALUE OF FARM PRODUCTS Census Bureau's Statement Concerning Method of Ascertaining it Inquiries have been made of the Census Bureau whether farm products should be valued by farmers, in replying to census enumerators, at the general wholesale prices or at the actual prices obtained by the producer. It was pointed out by the inquirers that many farmers sell a proportion of their eggs for breeding, at much higher than the regular price. Others sell part or all of their milk, butter, and cream, at retail. Quite a number sell pure-bred live-stock of various kinds at more or less fancy prices. The bureau's correspondents are of the opinion that if sales are quoted in this way in the census reports, the results might be somewhat uncertain as a basis for the average market prices. Responding to these inquiries,Census Director Durand states that in forming its inquiries and instructions with reference to the value of domestic animals and fowls, the census bureau must necessarily follow the cold, a strain, a sudden wrench. A little cause may hurt the kidneys. Spells of backache often follow. Or some irregularity of the urine. A certain remedy for such attacks, A medicine that answers every call, Is Doan's Kidney Pills, a true specific. Thousands of people rely upon it. Here is one case: A. B. Houston, 263 E. Ninth St., Riverside, Cal., says: "I willingly recommend Doan's Kidney Pills. About three months ago I had more or less trouble from my back and finally the pains became so severe that I could not sit down without suffering acutely. I could scarcely turn over in bed and for three days it was impossible for me to move my arms without having sharp pains in my back. The doctor said I had muscular rheumatism and told me he could only give temporary relief by injecting morphine. At that time a friend told me of Doan's Kidney Pills and I procured a box. Soon after commencing their use, I noticed improvement and after I had taken the contents of four boxes, all pains and aches had disappeared. During the past year I have had no return of kidney complaint. For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, New York, sole agents for the United States.

It is the same for all animals, fowls and animal products.The relative number and value of the animals and products to which specific attention has been called does not exert, for the country as a whole or for many of the states, an influence sufficient to make the average published by the census materially different from the average market prices.

Lutz Co., Santa Ana. 3-17-tf At 10 o'clock on Thursday evening a stranger entered the place and took seat while he watched a game of pool. He shortly went to the rear of the building, pretending to get a drink of water. Mr. Whetzel, proprietor of the place, doubts if the fellow drank any water. He filled a glass and pretended to drink, but evidently had little or no thirst. The man walked into the rear yard and in a moment returned. He remained in the poolroom a moment and left, going out the front door. No one in the place knew him, and he talked to no one. He was about 35 years of age, with a black mustache. Whetzel's suspicions were arraised, and his son and Roessler volunteered to remain in the place all night. The lights were out when the man's footsteps were heard on the roof. He walked to the skylight, and soon walked to the front of the building. Vehicles were passing in the street, and a man on the sidewalk in front of the building signalled as with a cane upon the sidewalk. The man on the roof walked over onto the roof of the American Savings bank. He returned to the rear of the roof of the poolroom and descended the ladder. A moment later a flashlight from a bulleye lantern was thrown into the building a half dozen times. He placed a key in the rear lock, but could not open the door. The boys looked out of the front door and saw a man leaning against a telephone pole across the street. A moment later a key was thrust in the lock of the front door, but the door could not be opened. The boys with the shotguns were bred live-stock of various kinds at more or less fancy prices. The bureau's correspondents are of the opinion that if sales are quoted in this way in the census reports, the results might be somewhat uncertain as a basis for the average market prices. Responding to these inquiries, Census Director Durand states that in forming its inquiries and instructions with reference to the value of domestic animals and fowls, the census bureau must necessarily follow the lines laid down in the law governing its action. That law requires the bureau to ascertain the number and value of animals and fowls. The value sought is not the value of some particular class of animals or fowls, but of all animals and fowls. It is the amount at which the animals and fowls can be sold. Good pure-blooded animals will sell for more, and thus have a greater value than the poor animals. Where there are many pure-blooded, the average will be higher than where the opposite condition of affairs prevails, but, as a matter of fact, the pure-blooded animals are so thoroughly distributed that they left no appreciable influence upon the average published by the twelfth census, except in the case of the young colts of the state of New Jersey. No appreciable influence on the average price or value of eggs, milk or butter is observed in consequence of the practice mentioned by the inquirers. The high priced eggs, milk, butter, etc., are found about as much in one part of the country as in another. The average which the census will publish is not that of a particular class of eggs, but of all eggs Steinmesch Chamberlain And West Coast CHICKEN FOOD and Other Poultry Supplies AT H. A.
