PROFITS OF THE FARM TO BE INCREASED OBJECT OF INSTITUTES BEING HELD THROUGHOUT RURAL COMMUNITIES BRINGING KNOWLEDGE TO HORTICULTURALISTS IN ORDER TO MAKE LANDS FRUITFUL To increase the yield per acre of every farm in California, that thus the farmer's profit may be increased, and yet the cost of living be reduced for the consumer—this is the object of the farmers' institutes which the University of California is now arranging for the current year. The State has provided $15,000 for this year's work of sending out agricultural experts from the university to spread among the citizens of California knowledge of methods which will make the soil more fruitful, crops more valuable, and farm life better. In stock-raising and dairying regions, for instance, the farmers' institute lecturers are promoting the planting of alfalfa, timothy, or clover, that the number of animals a given acreage will support may be increased from the small figure wild grasses will carry, and the profit be made more commensurate with the values of California lands. To the dairymen the farmers' institute workers preach the use of the pllying irrigation waters to the best advantage, of grafting vines, of plant and animal breeding, etc. The program of farmers' institutes for the year is now being arranged by Professor Warren T. Clarke, superintendent of university extension in agriculture. Last year's institutes were attended by 37,000 persons, in 107 different places, while 102,624 persons visited the agricultural demonstration train, which traveled 6,847 miles and made 237 stops. Many of the subjects which are dealt with briefly at the farmers' institutes, in sessions of one or two days, are treated more extensively in the short courses at the university farm. These short courses at Davis, in terms of from two to six weeks for various subjects, are arranged for this year from September 23 to November 21. The first to begin are the short course in general agriculture, from September 23 to October 5, and the six-weeks' poultry course, from September 23 to November 2. They are planned to be of value to any practical farmer. PROTECTING WILD GAME Recent Meeting of Game Commissioners at Denver Urge Enactment of Needed Laws Returning delegates from the biennial meeting of the National Association of Game Commissioners, recently held in Denver, declare the convention to have been a most notable one in that nearly every State of the Union was officially represented, and the most advanced grounds were taken in reference to the preservation of wild life. Plans were laid for extending more absolute protection to the elk, antelope, prairie chicken, wild fowl In stock-raising and dairying regiions, for instance, the farmers' institutute lecturers are promoting the planting of alfalfa, timothy, or clover, that the number of animals a given acreage will support may be increased from the small figure wild grasses will carry, and the profit be made more commensurate with the values of California lands. To the dairymen the farmers' institutute workers preach the use of the Babcock milk-tester, so that by testing the milk from each cow, periodically, the owners may find which cows are producing enough butter-fat to make a profit, and so be able to get rid promptly of the cows which cost more to feed than they earn. As a result of such preaching by the university lecturers, many California communities have now organized neighborhood associations which hire men to visit every dairy farm in the district and test the milk of every cow monthly. Besides helping the dairymen to keep only cows which are good producers, this enables him to be sure the creameries are paying fairly for cream on the basis of butter-fat content. In the peach-growing districts, the men from Berkeley are urging that courageous thinning of young fruit will make larger profits. The university experts find that many orchard owners cannot bring themselves to thin their fruit freely, this seeming to them wasteful. Yet the university men point out that, in an ordinary year, to thin the fruit two-thirds to three-quarters will result in a greater yield by weight, and much improved quality, and con­ sequently better prices. Moreover, the same weight of large, fine peaches has been far less strain on the vitality of the tree and far less tax on the fertility of the soil than would have been the same weight per tree of small, crowded fruit. In grain growing regions the农ers' institute lecturers seek to spread the use of improved methods in the way of deep plowing, sowing with a drill and not with a broadcaster, using improved seed, etc. Everywhere much attention is given to advice as to how the soil may be improved, by proper cultivation, by the use of the exact fertilizer ingredients needed, by plowing under green manuring crops to increase the humus, etc. Advice on how to fight injurious insects is eagerly received by the public. To be interested in the question of how many legs a red spider wears assumed a new value in the minds of auditors at farmers' institutes when they heard that while this destructive pest of needed laws Returning delegates from the biennial meeting of the National Association of Game Commissioners, recently held in Denver, declare the convention to have been a most notable one in that nearly every State of the Union was officially represented, and the most advanced grounds were taken in reference to the preservation of wild life. Plans were laid for extending more absolute protection to the elk, antelope, prairie chicken, wild fowl and birds of plume, many of which are threatened with extinction. Much surprise was expressed that the association should adopt resolutions giving it their opinion that game laws uniform in character in all the States would be impracticable. "On one point, however, we found all the commissioners a unit," said T. Gilbert Pearson, secretary of the National Association of Audubon Societies, "without a dissenting voice, they voted to urge all the States to adopt the New York law which prohibits the sale of feathers of wild birds for millinery purposes." The Game Commissioners, through their permanent committees, will give much attention to this subject during the coming year, and will also urge the further establishment of State and National wild bird and animal preserves. SQUABBLE AMONG STATES Colorado and Texas In Trouble Over Usage of Water From the Rio Grande (Special to the Gazette) Salt Lake, Sept. 17.—Senator Joseph Bailey of Texas has announced his intention of heading a trainload of Texas delegates to the National Irrigation Congress at Salt Lake to do battle with Colorado over the vexing question of state rights to the waters of the Rio Grande. It is reported here that Colorado's side of the argument with the Lone Star state will be advanced under the leadership of former Governor Alvah Adams and Senator Frank Gouty and that they will be backed by a strong delegation from Colorado to arrive at Salt Lake September 20. Differences of opinion regarding title to some of the water along the Colorado-Uttah line have arisen recently and, although Utah's position as hostess to the congress will not permit of active participation in the fight which otherwise might be made three-cornered, it is assured that developments will be watched with interest by the Utah delegates. The question of water rights along the Rio Grande is one that enlivened attention is given to advice as to how the soil may be improved, by proper cultivation, by the use of the exact fertilizer ingredients needed, by plowing under green manuring crops to increase the humus, etc. Advice on how to fight injurious insects is eagerly received by the public. To be interested in the question of how many legs a red spider wears assumed a new value in the minds of auditors at farmers' institutes when they heard that while this destructive pest of almond, walnut, and peach trees has six legs, sulphuring will readily destroy it, but that when the spider has developed another pair of legs, sulphuring has been delayed unduly, and will prove far less effective. The practical value of the university's aid to the farmer is well illustrated by the fact that the apple harvest of the Pajaro Valley is annually about 1,200 cars larger than it would be if the university agricultural department had not discovered how to prevent the destruction the codling moth was causing. The solving by the university of the problem of how to prevent the depredations of the peach worm is resulting in an annual saving of above $150,000 to the Placerville region. Farm sanitation is another subject dealt with at the farmers' institutes—the importance of kitchen labor-saving devices, of having running water piped into farm houses, of screening places where food is kept, prepared, or eaten; of combating the fly and of disposing of human wastes in simple septic tanks, etc., below ground and protected from flies, so that disease shall not be spread. Home gardening, poultry work, and domestic science, including suggestions as to how to make foods most digestible and appetizing, are also dealt with. It is found that the women auditors at farmers' institutes are as keenly interested as the men in technical agricultural matters, such as the principles of feeding stock, of ap- Colorado to arrive at Salt Lake September 20. Differences of opinion regarding title to some of the water along the Colorado-Utah line have arisen recently and, although Utah's position as hostess to the congress will not permit of active participation in the fight which otherwise might be made three-cornered, it is assured that developments will be watched with interest by the Utah delegates. The question of water rights along the Rio Grande is one that enlivened the discussions at the congresses held at Albuquerque in 1908 and at Pueblo in 1910. The board of governors of the congress has arranged for a program that will exceed in general interest that of any previous session. Many amusement and entertainment features have been provided for and the Utah state fair will be on at Salt Lake during the week of the congress. Additional delegates appointed from California this week are the following: Col. W. H. Holabird, Los Angeles; Douglas White, Los Angeles; Mrs. M. L. Black, Redlands; Geo. W. Sill, Watsonville; P. A. Callaghan, Watsonville; Luke Scurich, Watsonville; J. M. Eddy, Stockton; F. G. Vivian, King City; Prof. Gilbert E. Bailey, Los Angeles; G. H. Maxwell, Los Angeles; M. L. Black, Redlands; P. T. Evans, Riverside; H. P. Kane, Watsonville; W. R. Rodcliff, Watsonville; James F. Farraher, Yreka; Benj. Ide Wheeler, Berkeley; John Fairweather, Fresno; and A. E. Pomeroy, of Los Angeles. Musical features for the congress will play an important part in the amusement and entertainment features of the program. The official band will be on duty from the Saturday before the congress opens until the close six days later and, in addition to every available band in Salt Lake on the opening day of the congress the cities of Price and Spanish Fork will send their bands for the great parade.

Bids for the construction of the necessary buildings have been received and it is expected to have the station in working order before winter. Already the gathering of observations on the relations of erosion and run-off to the forest cover have begun. The Manti National forest was chosen as the site for this experiment station because it offers exceptionally good opportunities for investigating problems of practical value in connection with regulated grazing. Ephraim and other towns in its neighborhood have suffered severely from floods following violent rainstorms in the mountainous areas. stockgrower and the consumer of meat products will thus be benefited. Consequently every effort is being made to determine practicable means of regenerating depleted ranges. All of the studies which are about to be initiated have this point in view. AUTOCAR COMMERCIAL CAR "With the excellent system of highways, already built or in course of construction, in Southern California there is no valid reason why any motor delivery car should be over 20 horse power, said M. S. Bulkley, of Los Angeles, distributor for the Autocar Commercial Car. "In Europe where the road conditions are appreciated most, the manufacturers are building their delivery cars from 8 to 12 horse power only. No owner of horse delivery service would use more horses than were necessary because of added expense, but many merchants who use motor delivery do not stop to consider that the larger the motor in his car, or the more cylinders it has, his delivery expense is increased just so much. All that can be asked is that the motor is large enough to carry a capacity load of the commercial car." Many states are already adopting the taxation system of so much per horse power, and such a bill will be presented to California's legislature this winter; and it is more than probable that all motor cars in this State will be so taxed next year. "The manufacturers of the Autocar Commercial Car have had all these things in mind and they know that their 18 horse power two-cylinder engine, will through its double reduction NOTICE OF ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS FOR ELECTION OF DIRECTORS.

Ordinance No. 247 AN ORDINANCE FIXING THE PENAL SUM OF A BOND TO BE EXECUTED BY THE SUPERINTENDENT OF STREETS OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM. THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF THE CITY OF ANAHEIM DO ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. That within ten days after this ordinance takes effect the Superintendent of Streets of the City of Anaheim shall execute an official bond to the said city in the penal sum of three hundred dollars, which said bond shall be conditioned that he will well, truly and faithfully perform all official duties required of him by law, and that he will well, truly and faithfully perform all of the duties of his said office as Superintendent of Streets of said city as required by law to be enacted subsequently to the execution of such bond. Such bond shall be executed by at least two sufficient sureties who shall qualify in an amount equal to twice the amount of the penal sum or said bond. Section 2. All ordinances and parts of ordinances in conflict with the provisions of this ordinance are hereby repealed. working order before winter. Already the gathering of observations on the relations of erosion and run-off to the forest cover have begun. The Manti National forest was chosen as the site for this experiment station because it offers exceptionally good opportunities for investigating problems of practical value in connection with regulated grazing. Ephraim and other towns in its neighborhood have suffered severely from floods following violent rainstorms in the mountains, and it has already been proved conclusively that the over-grazed condition of areas on which the natural vegetative cover has been seriously altered is responsible for the formation of torrents and the rapid discharge of debris-laden flood waters. In a recent destructive storm the water ran clear from a part of the watershed which was within the National forest, and in good condition as a result of well regulated grazing, while from other areas it swept down sand and boulders. One of the objects of the study will be to learn how the maximum of grazing use of National forest land can be obtained without injury to forest reproduction and stream flow. The National forests provide range during a part or all of the year for a considerable part of the stock produced in the Western States. Approximately one and one-half million head of cattle and horses and seven and one-half million head of sheep and goats occupy the forest lands each year. These figures do not include nearly three hundred thousand calves and over four million lambs and kids for which permits are not required. The experts of the Department believe that when the ranges which were denuded by many years of improper use are restored to a normal condition of productivity it will be possible to provide feed for a much larger number of stock without injury to forest growths or watersheds, and both the DISTRIBUTION ASKED FOR Final account has been filed by Wm. A. McFadden of Santa Ana, administrator of the estate of Archie McFadden of that city, deceased, who asks that a distribution of the property among the heirs be ordered. There is in the hands of the administrator the sum of $48,547.50. The heirs are the widow, Bettie McFadden, and the children, Jeanette A., Effle B., Elizabeth, John A. and William A. McFadden. Section 1. That within ten days after this ordinance takes effect the Superintendent of Streets of the City of Anaheim shall execute an official bond to the said city in the penal sum of three hundred dollars, which said bond shall be conditioned that he will well, truly and faithfully perform all official duties required of him by law, and that he will well, truly and faithfully perform all of the duties of his said office as Superintendent of Streets of said city as required by law to be enacted subsequently to the execution of such bond. Such bond shall be executed by at least two sufficient sureties who shall qualify in an amount equal to twice the amount of the penal sum or said bond. Section 2.
