A CITRUS EXPERIMENT STATION It is more than likely that in the near future representatives of the College of Agriculture at Berkeley will be in Anaheim looking for a site for the new Southern California citrus experiment station. Dr. Webber, of the College of Agriculture, who has been at Riverside for several weeks past, made the statement some days ago to a resident of this city that the College of Agriculture would shortly seek a new location for the citrus experiment station. Two hundred acres of land are desired in the frostless belt where water supply is plentiful. He was informed that Anaheim was the place meeting these conditions more perfectly than any other section of Southern California. We have escaped altogether unhurt ravages of the recent cold weather which destroyed groves and nursery stock in the upper valley, and we raise more under ground water here at smaller cost than in any other part of the world. At a depth of 100 feet under ground water is struck and pumped in volume exceeding 100 inches per well. The Anaheim Union Water Company has near the city what is probably the largest pumping plant in the country. It pumps 450 inches from three wells, in one pit. Seven years ago when the state was looking for a location for a citrus experiment station and a pathological laboratory, Anaheim offered sites for these state institutions. It showed SCIENCE TO THE AID OF ORANGE GROWERS DR. HUNT AND ASSOCIATES WILL BE IN ANAHEIM ON TUESDAY AFTERNOON WILL DISCUSS IMPORTANT TOPIC OF FROST CONDITIONS WITH GROWERS "How may we reduce our losses from the recent frosts?" This question has been coming to the University of California department of agriculture from the orange and lemon growers. In response, a special train is to be sent by the University of Southern California to demonstrate how frozen oranges and lemons may be distinguished from undamaged fruit, how frosted orchards should be cared for, and how the loss suffered may be in part offset, as by planting between the orchard rows of inter-crops such as tomatoes, lima beans, barley, wheat, or sugar beets. This special train is furnished by the generosity of the Southern Pacific Company. On the train will be Director Thomas Forsyth Hunt, Director H. J. Webber of the citrus experiment station at Riverside, who was in Florida as a government citrus expert at the time of the famous freeze of 1894-95, who has for years been investigating problems of frost damage prevention, through the use of resistant varieties, etc., and who is a great authority on all citrus problems; probably Prof. E. L. Wickson of the chair of horticulture." Seven years ago when the state was looking for a location for a citrus experiment station and a pathological laboratory, Anaheim offered sites for these state institutions. It showed that the soil hereabouts produced the widest range of fruits and vegetables in the state. While other candidates for these institutions confined themselves almost exclusively to citrus fruits, here we grew not only oranges and lemons, but walnuts, all classes of deciduous fruits, and vegetables, including tomatoes, potatoes, celery, and all kinds of berries. We held at the time that these state institutions should be placed where these fruits and vegetables were grown, not in a section where citrus groves were grown exclusively. That an error was made in locating the citrus experiment station at Riverside is proven by the authoritative statement that the College of agriculture will close down that institution and seek location elsewhere. The recent freeze at Riverside has destroyed the usefulness of the experiment station there. We trust that when representatives of the College of Agriculture arrive here they may be met by our citizens and the fact demonstrated to them that this is the ideal section for this station, which in time will grow to be the most important institution of its kind in the country. Here conditions required can be met perfectly. We are in the frostless belt and we have oceans of cheap and pure water. Other sections will doubtless be in the field for this great prize, but we believe that owing to our many natural advantages we have them all distanced at the start. It is a great prize and it is worth going after vigorously. It will do much to attract the attention of the state and nation to us. Let us be up and doing, and exert an earnest endeavor to locate in Anaheim the new Southern California citrus experiment station. We can do it. Soil and water and climatic conditions are with us. We shall not fail to win. Samuel Kraemer has leased 230 acres of the eastern part of his ranch to an oil company, which will in the near future begin boring for oil.

On the train will be Director Thomas Forsyth Hunt, Director H. J. Webber of the citrus experiment station at Riverside, who was in Florida as a government citrus expert at the time of the famous freeze of 1894-95, who has for years been investigating problems of frost damage prevention, through the use of resistant varieties, etc., and who is a great authority on all citrus problems; probably Prof. E. J. Wickson of the chair of horticulture; Prof. Warren T. Clark, superintendent of university extension in agriculture; J. Eliot Coit, professor of citrology; Prof. J. S. Burd, in charge of fertilizer control work; J. B. Neff, the Anaheim walnut-grower, who represents the university in farmers' institute work in Southern California, and others. This special demonstration train will start out from Los Angeles on Thursday, February 13. It will visit three or four places daily, and at each stopping point will be open to all comers for an hour or more. Meetings will go on simultaneously in several cars, and demonstrations will be given. The frozen orange or lemon is lighter than the undamaged fruit. This enables the demonstration train workers to show a practicable method for finding out whether oranges have been damaged—by the Lefferts specific gravity test. Into a bath of wood alcohol and water go the oranges or lemons. The good ones sink. The frozen fruit is lighter, since the juices have dried out, so the bad fruit floats, and can readily be separated from the good. This test should be applied some three days before the oranges are packed. It is not effective for lemons until a month after the freeze; and for oranges, not until two months after. Provided the fruit is dried out afterwards, the test does no harm to oranges and lemons, the lemon actually showing an improvement. "Can frozen oranges be used in some way?" is a question constantly being asked the university these days. Many are spoiled for food at once. Frozen fruit is however perfectly harmless as food, and palatable, if the drying out of the juices has not gone too far. Unfortunately no other use is at present known, after the drying out spoils the fruit as food, no by-product use being practicable. The easiest disposition of frozen fruit is to plow it under in the orchard. This will do no particular good, except to dispose of the fruit, but it will do no harm to the soil. If considerable brown-rot is present, however, the fruit should be hauled away. Notice the advertised government land sale. The Loara Parc cation meeting w Friday the 21st.

Mr. Kraemer was last week in Los Angeles and met the syndicate of Pittsburg millionaries who recently visited his ranch with a view to purchasing it. Three years ago they considered an offer of $175,000 for 200 acres of his orchard tract. They failed to make a purchase and when they visited the ranch again some weeks ago found the price had risen to $1,000,000. They asked Mr. Kraemer if he still adhered to these figures, following last month's cold spell. He replied the price was not only up to the figures quoted, but that he would refuse to sell for that amount, saying his ranch had altogether escaped evil effects of the cold weather. He stated he had leased a large portion of the upper part of his ranch for oil boring purposes, and expected to develop a great oil field in his locality. Photographer Hudson was among the early visitors to the Murphy gusher near Northam station on Tuesday morning. He approached into within 150 feet of the well and obtained a number of fine photographs. As he was preparing to obtain a view, from his first position, the wind shifted and a great column of water and oil fell in his direction, threatening to swamp him and his camera. He made a hasty getaway, later took up another position and obtained some very fine views. The planting of inter-crops, between the orchard rows, will be advised by the demonstrators on the special train for orchards of young or medium sized trees, as a means of off-setting the loss in this year's citrus crop. From now until the middle of March is just the right time for planting tomatoes, lima or black-eye beans, and sugar beets, and not too late for wheat or barley. These crops should bring in a profit and help to tide over the lean time until oranges and lemons can again be harvested profitably. Nor will these inter-crops do any harm to fruit is however perfectly harmless as food, and palatable, if the drying out of the juices has not gone too far. Unfortunately no other use is at present known, after the drying out spoils the fruit as food, no by-product use being practicable.

If considerable brown-rot is present, however, the fruit should be hauled away. To cut back frozen wood until healthy wood is reached is in broad general terms the advice which the demonstration train will give to the orchardists. If the cutting back goes clear to healthy wood, then the wound will heal better. If, however, the frozen boughs and twigs are left on the tree, there is danger that later on the dead wood will be a channel through which moisture and bacteria and fungi may enter, causing subsequent damage to the tree. Where damaged bark is cut out, a dressing of burned coal-tar can be used. On the train will be frozen trees, to be used for object-lessons in the methods of cutting back deemed desirable, and for demonstrations in tree surgery.

On the contrary, the beans will positively enrich the soil, since the bacteria on their roots will help to increase the nitrogen content. A frost damage survey of all Southern California is now being made by a number of investigators sent out by the university. Such frost experiences as this are an experience of the citrus regions of Spain, Italy, Florida, and other lands where the best oranges are raised. One object of the survey will be to find trees or buds which seem to have showed special powers of resistance to frost damage. From these grafting can perhaps be done of citrus stock self-insured against frost damage. This train will be in Anaheim on next Tuesday afternoon from 3:30 to 5 o'clock at the Southern Pacific depot. IN AND ABOUT THE CITY Notice the advertisement of sale of The Ladies' Aid of the Methodist church, under the splendid leadership of Mrs. Geo. M.
