CALIFORNIA HEALTH LEAGUE ORGANIZED STATE-WIDE ORGANIZATION OF TWELVE SOCIETIES FORMED To Influence Public Opinion for Laws to Stamp Out Tuberculosis And Other Diseases—Sale of State School Land Scrip—Fortieth Annual Session of Medical Society—N.G.C. Encampment in October—Gov. Gillett In Delegation to Walt on President for Panama Exposition In San Francisco—Notes of Interest Sacramento, April 18.—A statewide organization of twelve societies was formed in this city today under the name of the California Public Health League with the object of promoting public health, influencing public opinion in favor of better laws for health and the stamping out of tuberculosis as well as other diseases. Heretofore many of the public health associations of the state have been more or less interested in the same fields so that there has not been the best economy of effort. The formation of this league, composed of representative medical men and prominent citizens from all parts of the state was made preliminary to the meeting of the state medical society. The charter of the league provides that all societies interested in public health are eligible to membership state road in Kings county for which the legislature appropriated $25,000. The road is from General Grant's national park to the Kings river canyon. Governor Gillett will go to Washington with the delegation next week to press the claims of San Francisco before President Taft for the honor of holding the Panama exposition. SUMMER SCHOOL AT BERKELEY Most Extended and Best Program of Courses Ever Offered The bulletin of the summer session at the University of California has just appeared from the press and will be sent to any address upon application to the Recorder of the Faculties, Berkeley, California. It is planned by the authorities to make this session the most interesting and profitable ever held in Berkeley. The scope of the work has been widened and many courses are offered this year. Admission is granted without examination to all persons who give evidence of sufficient maturity to profit by the exercises of the session. The tuition, regardless of the number of courses taken, is fifteen dollars. This fee entitles the student to the full privileges of the University Library and also to medical advice and hospital care without extra charge in case of illness. In addition to members of the regular faculty who will offer courses, the following representatives from other institutions have accepted invitations to lecture in the coming summer. Heretofore many of the public health associations of the state have been more or less interested in the same fields so that there has not been the best economy of effort. The formation of this league, composed of representative medical men and prominent citizens from all parts of the state was made preliminary to the meeting of the state medical society. The charter of the league provides that all societies interested in public health are eligible to membership and several organizations will probably be added to the list within a short time. The officers of the new league are: A. Bonnheim, Sacramento, president; Dr. F. C. E. Mattison, Pasadena, vice president; Miss Elizabeth Ashe, San Francisco, second vice president; Dr. George Alken, Fresno, 3d vice president; Dr. W. F. Snow, secretary. The directors are: Dr. R. G. Broderick, San Francisco; Dr. M. E. Jaffa, Sacramento; Dr. L. M. Powers, Los Angeles; Dr. E. N. Ewer, Oakland; Mrs. W. H. Adams, president of the Woman's Auxiliary of White Crusaders; Dr. Martin Regensburger, president state board of health; H. J. McCoy, San Francisco Y.M.C.A.; Dr. N. K. Foster, Oakland; Benjamin Ide Wheeler, president University of California; F. W. Dohrman, San Francisco red cross; Dr. W. Jarvis Barlow, Los Angeles; Duncan MacKinnon, San Diego; Dr. George H.Kress, Los Angeles; Dr. R. Browning, Santa Barbara; Dr. Gayle Moseley, Redlands; Dr. R. A. Archibald, Oakland; Dr. William Simpson, San Jose; C. M. Goethe, Sacramento; L. E. Armstrong, San Francisco; Edward Hyatt of Sacramento. The fortieth annual session of the state medical society opened in Sacramento with an attendance of nearly 400 physicians. About sixty addresses and reports will be included in the program. The next sale of state school land scrip will be held by Surveyor General Kingsbury in his office on May 2d. About three thousand acres of scrip will be sold. The state board of education will meet at Riverside April 21 and 22, preceding the superintendents' convention. Text book and other matters will be considered at this meeting. The state board of equalization will meet in a few days to pass upon the assessment of the Western Pacific railway company's property between Oroville and the state line. Several fruit standardization meetings will be held in Sacramento coun- evidence of sufficient maturity to profit by the exercises of the session. The tuition, regardless of the number of courses taken, is fifteen dollars. This fee entitles the student to the full privileges of the University library and also to medical advice and hospital care without extra charge in case of illness. In addition to members of the regular faculty who will offer courses, the following representatives from other institutions have accepted invitations to lecture in the coming summer session: Professor E. D. Adams, Stanford university, history; Dr. Everett C. Beach, director of physical education, Los Angeles, playgrounds; Professor Richard Burton, university of Minnesota, English; Professor Percy Bordwell, university of Missouri, law; Professor F. P. Brackett, Pomona college, mathematics; Professor Sophonisba P. Breckinridge, university of Chicago, household administration; Professor Jesse B. Carter, American school of classical studies in Rome, Latin; Professor Lucile Eaves, university of Nebraska, sociology; Professor R. B. Harshe, Stanford university, graphic arts; Professor R. D. Hunt, university of Southern California, economics; Professor Vernon Kellogg, Stanford university, biology; Prof. F. H. Koch, university of North Dakota, English; Professor Edward Porritt, Harvard university, history and government; Dr. Margaret E. Schallenberger, principal training school, San Jose normal school, education; Dr. E. R. Snyder, professor of education, San Jose normal school, education; Professor F. R. Watson, university of Illinois, physics. While a large proportion of the courses of the coming session will be concerned immediately with the method and content of the subjects taught in the secondary and grammar schools, a wide range of opportunity is offered to teachers for study along other lines than the daily routine of the school room. The courses that are offered in music, manual training, art, nature study and physical education this year should be unusually attractive to teachers. Many evening lectures and excursions are also planned, which should be of almost equal educational value to the regular courses. The railroads offer a reduced rate of one first-class round trip at the rate of a fare and a third from all points in California. A list of the places offering board and room or furnished rooms for housekeeping is kept on file in the office of the recorder of the faculties, and stran- it has in Mr. M., looks as though he would be solved.

Several fruit standardization meetings will be held in Sacramento county the latter part of April by State Horticultural Commissioner J. W. Jeffrey. Adjutant General Lauck announces that the naval militia will have a cruise on the Marblehead, leaving San Francisco July 20, and going up the Pacific coast, probably as far as Seattle. The Atascadero encampment will take place between October 1 and 15. In response to an inquiry made by the state superintendent of public instruction of Attorney General Webb as to whether it is legal for Los Angeles to employ an outsider for the position of city superintendent of schools, the attorney general holds that the question should be first referred to the district attorney of Los Angeles county. A timely compilation of the insurance laws of California, prepared under the direction of E. Myron Wolf, while insurance commissioner, has just been issued. The volume has one hundred and thirty-four pages, and covers all the statutes now in force. It is prefaced by an article on the principal requirements as to insurance companies of other states and foreign countries who desire to transact business in California. The April bulletin of the state board of health is devoted to the Red Plague society and its objects and workings. The state engineering department will begin next week the redemption of the work of constructing the new All kinds of street and ornamental trees, Cypress, Guavas and Ferns. Also a large stock of the leading varieties of Eucalyptus. We can furnish Palm and other ornamental trees 8 feet high, which add greatly to the value of a place as soon as planted.

NEW SUGGESTIONS ABOUT THRIPS Santa Clara Farmer Has Them On the Run A bulletin issued by the Agricultural Experiment Station at Berkeley, upon "New Suggestions for Thrips Control," has been received. It's author is Prof. Woodworth. Concerning the subject he says: The most successful experiments thus far coming to our attention are conducted by Mr. Earl Morris, entomologist of Santa Clara county and assistant in the entomological division of the university. These experiments are so promising that it now seems wise to make them public, since there is still a little time for orchardists to test out the method against the young insect, though too late to expect any economic results the present season. If the method proves as effective in the hands of orchardists generally as it has in Mr. Morris' experiments it looks as though the thrips problem would be solved. It should be understood, however, that we are only making a suggestion for experimentation since the work has not yet been extensive enough to justify positive recommendations. The suggestion is simply to spray heavily with lime. Mr. Morris had noticed a certain degree of control with home-made lime sulfur containing a considerable excess of lime distinctly better than COALINGA OIL FIELDS Largest Producer In California, One of Largest in World A report on the geology and oil resources of the Coalinga oil district, in the western part of Fresno and Kings counties, California, by Ralph Arnold and Robert Anderson, has just been published by the United States geological survey as bulletin 398. The district described, which is about 15 miles wide and 50 miles long stretches along the northeast base of the Diablo range and includes a band of productive oil land 3 miles wide and 13 miles long at its north end and a narrow strip of oil land along its southwestern boundary. The region includes about 550 producing wells, which range in depth from 600 to 4000 feet and penetrate from 20 to 200 feet of oil sand. The product ranges from a black oil of 15 deg. Baume to a green oil of 35 deg. Baume. The yield of single wells differs greatly, ranging from 3 to 3000 barrels a day. The district is the leading producer in California and one of the most productive in the world. Its production in 1907 was 8,871,723 barrels, in 1908 it was 10,386,168 barrels, and in 1909 it was probably 15,200,000 barrels or more. The total quantity of oil thus far taken from the ground in the district to the end of 1909 was about 63,000,000 barrels of 42 gallons each leaving available a vast store of oil which has been roughly estimated as 2,737,000,000 barrels. Even if this great quantity of oil is in the ground IMMEDIATE ACTION NECESSARY ONLY A FEW WEEKS REMAINING IN WHICH TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF REDUCED RATES As announced in last week's paper, the San Bernardino Business College and Civil Service Institute is now making a great reduction in tuition charges and we would suggest that all the readers of this paper who intend to take a Commercial Course any time during the next year can make no mistake by taking advantage of their liberal offer. For $75 this school is making their regular $90 single scholarship, including a thorough training in bookkeeping or shorthand, and all the auxiliary studies that go with either of these courses, as well as a course in Spanish, all books, stationery, etc. The regular $150 scholarship includes both bookkeeping and shorthand, as well as all incidentals, is $125. Don't forget that these are unlimited as to time and include special coaching for the United States Civil Service. Even if you do not intend to enter school before fall, here is a chance for you to save money, but It has in Mr. Morris' experiments it looks as though the thrips problem would be solved. It should be understood, however, that we are only making a suggestion for experimentation since the work has not yet been extensive enough to justify positive recommendations. The suggestion is simply to spray heavily with lime. Mr. Morris had noticed a certain degree of control with home-made lime sulfur containing a considerable excess of lime distinctly better than with the commercial article and had also seen some results from Bordeaux mixture and with Arsenicals where lime was used, and determined to test out the lime alone so as to leave no possible chance untried. To his surprise he obtained very striking results, but only when the lime was applied thoroughly enough to completely whiten the trees. His first experiments were made possible through the kindness and co-operation of W. C. Bogen on the San Thomas road and were on a block of Bartlett pears an eighth of a mile south of Mr. Bogen's house. This spraying was done just before the buds opened. The trees near est the lane did not receive enough lime to be effective; the trees of the last row sprayed, which can be readily distinguished by the white color due to the lime, are full of fruit and contrast very strongly with the trees just beyond which remained unsprayed and have a very light crop of fruit. Thrips are very much more abundant on the unsprayed trees, particularly young thrips. The old thrips seem to be almost equally abundant at the present time in the sprayed trees. Perhaps the new growth which came out since the spraying gives the wandering adult insects abundant feeding space. Later experiments have been made within the last two weeks and were directed against the young thrips on prunes. One of these experiments was also made on Mr. Bogen's place in the block of prunes east from the first experiment, another on the Bradley orchard through the co-operation of the foreman, G. W. Gray. In both of these nearly or quite seven-eighths of the young thrips have disappeared on the sprayed trees as compared with the adjacent trees. We do not suppose that the lime actually kills the insects. Lime is not a good insecticide and a spraying with lime would have no result with most insects. Thrips differ, however, from all other insects in California and one of the most productive in the world. Its production in 1907 was 8,871,723 barrels, in 1908 it was 10,386,168 barrels, and in 1909 it was probably 15,200,000 barrels or more. The total quantity of oil thus far taken from the ground in the district to the end of 1909 was about 63,000,000 barrels of 42 gallons each leaving available a vast store of oil which has been roughly estimated as 2,737,000,000 barrels. Even if this great quantity of oil is in the ground it is not possible to state whether all of it can ever be obtained. Pipe lines connect the district with the seaboard at Monterey, 110 miles away, with San Francisco bay, 200 miles away, and with other points. The report describes the topography, geology, paleontology, and oil in the Coalinga district, which have been in part described in an earlier report published by the survey but not now obtainable. The present report includes a more complete discussion of the district and many new maps, sections, and other illustrations, besides a paper by Irving C. Allen on the chemical and physical properties of the oils. Many interesting points in connection with the history of the region in past geologic ages are also brought out, and by means of careful descriptions of the formations a foundation is laid both for an accurate study of the occurrence of oil within this region and for the tracing of formations and oil horizons in other parts of California. The report covers 354 pages and includes 52 plates and 9 text figures. The characteristic fossils of the rocks of the region are fully illustrated. These afford a means of identifying particular strata from place to place and of determining the depth and position of the oil-bearing sands. The discussions of the oil zones, of the factors affecting the accumulation and the gravity of the oil, of the relations of oil and water, and of the origin of the oil are of broad general interest. The maps and diagrams and the detailed accounts of the geology of the wells and the character of their various products are of decidedly practical immediate value. Bulletin 398 may be obtained without cost by applying to the Director of the Survey at Washington. NOTICE TO VOTERS Under the State Law a new registration of voters has to be made every even numbered year. All voters must register prior to first experiment, another on the Bradley orchard through the co-operation of the foreman, G. W. Gray. In both of these nearly or quite seven-eighths of the young thrips have disappeared on the sprayed trees as compared with the adjacent trees. We do not suppose that the lime actually kills the insects. Lime is not a good insecticide and a spraying with lime would have no result with most insects. Thrips differ, however, from all other insects in one important structure and many entomologists separate these into an order by themselves under the name Physopoda, which means bladder-footed. Instead of clinging to the plant by means of claws, the foot ends in a soft bladder-like structure covered with a sticky substance. This sticky material is produced in sufficient quantity to provide for that which is left wherever the foot of insect rests, but if it were compelled to walk upon a substance that is more absorptive than the leaf it is quite possible that the supply would be soon exhausted and the insect would not cling to the plant. Lime is perhaps the cheapest and safest material of this nature that can be applied to the tree. This theory seems to explain the fact that lime appears to have little or no effect except when thoroughly applied. If the insect is not forced to stand on lime it may not be affected. Whether this theory is correct or not, the fact remains that Mr. Morris' experiments have shown a remarkable diminution in the numbers of the thrips. Every orchardist interested should try the method on a few trees right away to duplicate, if possible, these results and to satisfy himself whether the method is worth trying on a large scale next spring. We are not ready to recommend any particular method, only the spraying with lime, using about 35 pounds to the 100 gallons of water, making it thorough so as to leave no foothold for the insect. NOTICE TO VOTERS Under the State Law a new registration of voters has to be made every even numbered year. All voters must register prior to July 27, 1910, and must have declared the political party with which they intend to affiliate (as provided in Sec. 1366 a, Political Code) who desire to vote at the primary election to be held August 16, 1910. If you do not so register and so state your party affiliation you cannot vote at this primary election at which all State and County Officers will be nominated.
