William Kent, Free Trader Dilittant Socialist Candidate for Elector on Roosevelt Ticket Developments of the past week show conclusively that the supporters of Theodore Roosevelt, insurgent candidate for the presidency, made a serious political mistake in preparing the list of delegates to be submitted to the voters of California on May 14, the date of the presidential primary. Too late it has been realized that the name of William Kent, congressman from the second district, it not calculated to add strength to the ticket, and the insurgents themselves are wondering if Kent's contribution to the campaign coffers will compensate for the loss of votes that is certain to be recorded on the day of election. William Kent, during his brief stay in congress, has managed to make more political enemies than any Californian, who has held that office in many years. He has voted steadfastly and consistently against the protection of several of California's greatest industries, and he has contributed to a movement that has imperiled the homes and fortunes of thousands of California farmers. The impossible position of Congressman Kent is best evidenced by the fact that the Oroville chamber of commerce, appealing to citizens all over the state to assist in preserving the interests of the sugar beet that the passage of the measure now pending before congress would practically wipe out the entire investment and the industry. Congressman Kent has offered to his constituents no explanation of his course since he has announced his intention of not seeking re-election, the sugar producers can voice their disapproval of his action only by criticism of the party that has made him a candidate to express their preference at a national convention. Congressman Kent's unpopularity is by no means confined to those districts that produce sugar beets. He voted against the tariff on wool, and thereby delivered a blow to the northern counties that take pride in their vast herds of sheep. He stood with the democrats when they reduced the duty on olive oil to a point where adulterated foreign oil may enter the American market on the same basis as the pure product of California olive orchards. He weakened the cause of the progressives throughout all Southern California by his attitude on the tariff, which, in the hands of the democrats and progressives, threatens the future of the lemon and orange growers as it has already affected the interests of the thousands of sugar beet producers in Orange, Ventura and Santa Barbara etta Foster Brewer, Mrs. Magdalena Nuñez L.

In the experiment described, Earl L. Morris, writer of the bulletin, and W. C. Bogan, owner of the Santa Clara valley orchard where the work was done, sprayed with whitewash 130 trees, or one-sixth of an orchard, just before the blossom buds were ready to open. They found that the number of blossoms maturing was in proportion to the amount of whitewash applied. The second season—1911—half the orchard was sprayed with a thick mixture of 80 pounds of quicklime for 100 gallons of whitewash, the lime having been carefully slaked, and the liquid forming a smooth, uniform, creamy coating on the tree. The unsprayed trees blossomed feebly, the sprayed trees came into full bloom; the heaviest was eight times more abundant for the sprayed trees than for the trees left unprotected against the trips. A new way of protecting orchards against the peach tree borer is described in the same bulletin. This is by digging out the worms from between the bark and the wood and then applying a thick coating of hard asphaltum, from five inches above the ground. This prevents the issuance or entrance of 95 to 98 percent any California man who has held that office in many years. He has voted steadfastly and consistently against the protection of several of California's greatest industries, and he has contributed to a movement that has imperiled the homes and fortunes of thousands of California farmers. The impossible position of Congressman Kent is best evidenced by the fact that the Oroville chamber of commerce, appealing to citizens all over the state to assist in preserving the interests of the sugar beet growers, was obliged to admit that its own representative in congress, William Kent, was the only member from California who voted to put sugar on the free list. In the Sacramento valley, where several millions of dollars have been invested recently in the culture of beets and the manufacture of sugar, it is predicted by 78,000 people, disseminates knowledge of improved agricultural methods. The investigations of the plant pathology laboratory at Whittier, of the citrus experiment station at Riverside, of the Santa Monica and Chico forestry experiment stations, and of the Meloland experiment station, on the reclaimed desert, below sea level, in Imperial county, are all parts of the work, as also the investigations for improving the cereal crops of California and for preventing plant diseases and improving viticultural methods, for which the state legislature makes special appropriations. Over $800,000 in private gifts came to the university of California in the twelfemonth ending in March. Most notable were the late Mrs. Jane K. Sather's great benefactions — the $200,000 Sather Campanile and its chimes, and her endowments for two professorships and three library funds, the merging with the university of the Scripps institution for biological research, at San Diego, and Mrs. Phoebe A. Hearst's varied gifts for anthropological research among the native Indians of California, for the museum, for scholarships for women, for the library, for road and bridge building on the Berkeley campus, for the Lick observatory, etc. Other significant gifts were those of the students themselves, who gave four houses and their sites to provide adequate opportunity for a new running track, and who within the next three years will bring their gift to over $60,000, by building the new track; of the women students, who gave woman's senior hall, costing $4000; of Miss Annie M.

This is by digging out the worms from between the bark and the wood and then applying a thick coating of hard asphaltum, from five inches above the ground. This prevents the issuance or entrance of 95 to 98 percent of the insects. Nor does the asphaltum penetrate, crack, deteriorate, or bind the tree, since it yields to the slightest pressure. Another new University of California bulletin tells how to make the highest type of grape vinegar. Here Professor F. T. Bioletti describes the processes by which a vinegar of fine flavor and aroma can be made, either on a large scale, or in the home, for domestic use, either from wine or direct from the grapes. In another new bulletin Prof. George W. Shaw describes the success attained by a number of growers of rice in the Sacramento valley, and states his belief that vast areas of overflow and adobe soils along the Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers are well adapted to rice culture. In Butte and Sutter counties alone, 150,000 acres could be developed for rice at a cost of about $15 an acre. The Japanese and Chinese on the Pacific coast consume 40,000,000 pounds of rice yearly, most of which is imported. A score or more of bulletins such as these are issued by the university every year, telling how to combat plant diseases and insect pests, how to improve varieties of plants and animals, and how to improve methods of cultivation, grafting, fertilization, irrigation, dairy and creamery practice, etc. The college of agriculture answers yearly tens of thousands of letters of inquiry on agricultural problems, and through farmers' institutes, lectures, and the work of the agricultural demonstration train, which was visited last year Other significant gifts were those of the students themselves, who gave four houses and their sites to provide adequate opportunity for a new running track, and who within the next three years will bring their gift to over $60,000, by building the new track; of the women students, who gave woman's senior hall, costing $4000; of Miss Annie M.

There were a multitude of other gifts, large and small, during the year. Especially memorable was the noble bequest of E. V. Cowell, '80. His will directed that $750,000 should go to the university, of this, $250,000 to be for a hospital, $250,000 for a gymnasium, and $250,000 for a stadium and athletic field, these bequests not to be available until seven years after the death of Mr. Cowell. Bliss Perry will give the annual E. T. Earl lectures in Berkeley, under the auspices of the Pacificological seminary, on April 9-11-12-16-18-19. For over ten years editor of the Atlantic Monthly, and before that professor of English at Williams and at Princeton, he is now professor of English at Harvard, where he follows in the footsteps of Ticknor, Lowell and Longfellow. He is the author of delightful essays, of admirable biographies of Whittier and Walt Whitman, of a widely read volume on the study of prose fiction, and of many novels and shorter tales of his own. His subject will be "American Traits in American Literature." Among the Earl lecturers of other years have been Henry Van Dyke, the poet, and Theodore Roosevelt, last year's Earl lecturer. MR. TAFT LOOKS A WINNER California Republicans Are Rallying to His Standard (Correspondence of The Gazette) San Francisco, April 16.—Week-end reports to the managers of the Taft campaign in this city are of the most encouraging character. The most glowing accounts of the president's candidacy come from the San Joaquin valley. From the Tehachapi to Stockton voters have been rallying to his standard during the week. His position has been greatly strengthened. The insurgents are at sixes and sevens over the candidacies of Roosevelt and La Follette, and they are flocking to Taft for self-preservation. In the Santa Clara valley the prospects for the president's renomination, so far as that section is concerned, have greatly brightened. Clubs have been formed in various towns and cities and great enthusiasm has been manifested for the Taft cause. In San Jose scores of additional members have signed the roll of the Taft club, which is now one of the strongest in the north. The officers of the club claim it will have a membership of more than 1,000 before the campaign is ended. The Sacramento valley is keeping up with the march of progress that has marked the Taft campaign the past week. A number of clubs have been organized and these will work earnestly for the president's renomination. The capital city is strong for Taft. Hundreds of men are en- SMITH GOES TO EUROPE French Walnut Scions to Be Grafted Upon Local Trees Prof. Ralph E. Smith of Whittier was in Santa Barbara this week conferring with C. W. Beers, county horticultural commissioner, relative to the work there and left later for the north. Prof. Smith has completed an extensive treatment on walnuts and this will be published by the state for free circulation among persons interested in the industry. Prof. Smith will leave in July for France to make a more thorough study of the walnut grown in the Grenoble district, and he hopes to be able to greatly strengthen the variety grown in this country. This he plans to do by grafting, as he expects to bring back scions from the hardy French trees. Prior to leaving for Europe, Prof. Smith intends to conduct spraying experiments in this country. He has in mind using a much larger outfit than usual, as it has been demonstrated time is thereby saved, although more material is consumed. The work also is much more thorough and in every way more satisfactory. It is very probable something along this line will be demonstrated during the convention of state fruit growers in Santa Barbara in June. SLANG THAT IS GOOD AND BAD Slang has its uses, notwithstanding the severe denunciation of it by the professor of English in a college in a neighboring state; it has also its abuse, which consists entirely in its being overdone. All slang is used too much. As a condiment to more stable and established forms, it seasons them when aptly applied. Slang pins a thought fast to memory, which might otherwise quickly fade; it makes it vivid, but it ought to be new. Old slang hath lost its savor. It is as painful to hear as a hat five years behind the times is to look at. of the Taft club, which is now one of the strongest in the north. The officers of the club claim it will have a membership of more than 1,000 before the campaign is ended. The Sacramento valley is keeping up with the march of progress that has marked the Taft campaign the past week. A number of clubs have been organized and these will work earnestly for the president's renomination. The capital city is strong for Taft. Hundreds of men are engaged canvassing Sacramento giving their services voluntarily, in the interest of the president's candidacy. In the foothills Taft sentiment is equally strong. The mining counties have signified their desire to have the president renominated and re-elected and they are getting behind his candidacy en masse. Phil Stanton, ex-speaker of the assembly, was one of the visitors to San Francisco this week. Stanton is in charge of the Taft campaign in Southern California and he brought encouraging reports of the conditions down there. He says President Taft is sure to carry the interior counties. He will carry Orange and Ventura counties by more than two to one. Taft managers there are now concentrating their efforts on the city of Los Angeles, which has been strongly insurgent for years. Stanton believes it will be possible, with proper organization, to carry that city for the president.. The success of the Roosevelt ticket, with so many free-traders on it, would jeopardize the most important interests and industries Southern California possesses. Voters who have supported insurgents in the past have come to realize this and they are seeing the necessity of keeping the president in the White House another term. The following dispatch has been received by the Taft publicity bureau in this city from Taft national headquarters at Washington: "So far as the president is concerned, the campaign for his renomination will be conducted in a dignified manner. He has advised his friends everywhere to avoid personal criticism of any candidate. He desires the campaign in his behalf to be conducted along impersonal lines. Then, too, he feels absolutely certain that he will be renominated by a tremendous majority on the first ballot, and he wishes his campaign conducted in a frank, open, honorable manner that after the votes are all counted there will be no feeling of resentment among the friends of the opposing candidates. The president..." professor of English in a college in a neighboring state; it has also its abuse, which consists entirely in its being overdone. All slang is used too much. As a condiment to more stable and established forms, it seasons them when aptly applied. Slang pins a thought fast to memory, which might otherwise quickly fade; it makes it vivid, but it ought to be new. Old slang hath lost its savor. It is as painful to hear as a hat five years behind the times is to look at. The weakness of slang in the mouths of youth lies in their too often using nothing else in connection with it. The impression is that they know nothing else. "My attitude against slang," says the professor, "is a hostile one. It may sound smart to call an ice-cream parlor a 'joint' and your girl a 'queen,' but George Ade did a great harm to the English language by writing 'take your queen to an ice cream joint.'" Perhaps, the professor regards this particular instance too seriously. No objection ought to arise to any young man calling his beloved, his "queen." The use of "joint" in this connection is not so defensible. Taking it by and large, we should say the most important thing is to see that the young lady gets the ice cream, regard less of the manner in which it is expressed. CALIFORNIA PRODUCES ALL THE BORAX California is the only State which makes a commercial production of borax annually. The output for 1910 according to the United States geological survey was 42,357 short tons, valued at $1,201,842. Less than four tons was imported. About one-half of the borax consumed is used in the enameling industry for making kitchen and sanitary ware. Each year some new use is found for the mineral. The National Market carries a fine line of fresh and salted meats. WHITE FLY EXHIBIT County Horticultural Commissioner Bishop has received a small exhibit showing the Mediterranean fly, one of the worst known fruit pests. The insect is about one-third in size of the ordinary house fly, and it lays its eggs in the ripening fruit, which soon becomes full of magots. All Hawaiian fruit except bananas and pineapples are quarantined from coming to this state. As yet the fly has put in no appearance in this state. Gustav Heineman was in from Olive the first of the week taking train for Los Angeles, where he attended to matters of business during the day.
