MONEY ASKED FOR CITRUS EXPERIMENT STATION DRS. WHEELER, HUNT AND WEBBER APPEAR BEFORE LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE APPROPRIATION OF $342,000 DESIRED FOR STATION TO BE GREATEST IN U. S. To establish in Southern California an agricultural experimental station that shall be the best of its kind in the country is the purpose of the state university, as outlined some days ago at a joint meeting of the senate finance and the assembly ways and means committees at Sacramento. For this important work the legislature has been asked to appropriate $342,000. With this sum it is proposed to secure a tract of not less than 200 acres, costing not to exceed $60,000. For the laboratory building and equipment $100,000 is asked and $25,000 for residence, barns, etc. From the general agricultural appropriation $157,000 is requested for the maintenance of the institution for a period of two years. A number of sites for this station near this city are being negotiated for and will be offered the state for the purpose. If the amounts asked are allowed by the legislature, President Wheeler assured the members of the committee, California would soon have an institution of which the entire state would be justly proud. The plans call for a novel station, the only one of its kind in the United States. The new facility will be the combination of an introduced in turn President Wheeler, G. Harold Powell, Dean Hunt, the new head of the agricultural college, Dr. Webber and Dr. Campbell of Lick observatory. Regent Earl strongly indorsed the southern experiment station, declaring that the appropriation of state funds for the establishment of such an institution is a wise policy. It conserves and develops the greatest of our natural resources, he said, and the appropriation of public funds for the development of agriculture is a policy which has been adopted permanently by all of the states and by the federal government. President Wheeler evoked enthusiasm by stating that he had just read in a German publication a list of the great universities of the world. "Out of three hundred universities, University of California stood tenth," he said. Among universities of United States, California ranks second in point of total enrollment, being exceeded only by Columbia. In number of undergraduates, University of California stands first. Speaking of the agricultural college he predicted that in less than ten years that single department would have 1,500 students. It has grown more than 200 per cent in the last two years. Dean Hunt declared that California's industries are as uniquely complicated as they are uniquely vast. Other states have one, or at best only a few, industries to study but California has at least a score. He said that his aim is to make the agricultural college assume the same high rank that the university itself enjoys throughout the country. The committee took no formal action at this meeting, but the attitude of all members present indicated cordial sympathy with the university plans in general and with the Southern California experimental station in of the institution for a period of two years. A number of sites for this station near this city are being negotiated for and will be offered the state for the purpose. If the amounts asked are allowed by the legislature, President Wheeler assured the members of the committee, California would soon have an institution of which the entire state would be justly proud. The plans call for a novel station, the only one of its kind in the United States. The new feature will be the combining of experimental and graduate work. As pointed out by G. Harold Powell, manager of the Citrus Fruit Exchange, the citrus industry furnishes the means of support for at least a 100,000 persons, and many of the institutions of the state are founded on its success. This great industry has problems that must be solved through high-grade specialists, and it is for precisely this purpose of furnishing specialists and fruit experts that the experiment station is being established. The present move to extend the facilities of the university, Mr. Powell told the legislators recently, has united and enthusiastic support of the entire southland and of the fruit growers and agriculturalists of the entire state. "The citrus protective league, which represents 90 per cent of the growers and shippers," he said, "has taken an active part in having the university ask for an enlargement of work already done at Riverside, Whittier and in the Imperial valley, with a view of having an institution of the highest character permanently established to investigate the culture and other problems which the producer is untrained to solve." Dr. H. J. Webber, director of the experiment station, presented in convincing manner the needs of proposed extension of the university work. He explained that today there are a number of orange and lemon groves that have reached their stage of greater efficiency and are now "going back." This could be prevented if the growers had scientific experiments on which to base their treatment of these decadent groves. Hence the imperative necessity of an experiment station big enough to tackle the fruit problems. Asked as to the necessity of the 200 acres asked for, he stated that more than 115 acres are to be devoted to orange and lemon grove experimental work alone. The remaining land will be taken up with experimental work in walnut, olive and other industries. Twenty-five acres will be depleted to fertilize alone while another states have one, or at best only a few, industries to study but California has at least a score. He said that his aim is to make the agricultural college assume the same high rank that the university itself enjoys throughout the country. The committee took no formal action at this meeting, but the attitude of all members present indicated cordial sympathy with the university plans in general and with the Southern California experimental station in particular. OLINDA OIL OUTPUT FIGURES IN BIG DEAL General Petroleum Company Makes Agreement With Santa Fe Railroad Orange county figures prominently in the big deal between the General Petroleum Company and the Santa Fe railroad for the handling of the latter's oil. In the agreement reached with the Santa Fe railroad not only does the General Petroleum obtain the former's output in the Midway, but that of the Olinda field as well. In return for this the General Petroleum Company has agreed to furnish the railroad with a certain amount of fuel oil at points where it is needed. The contract between the concerns is to run for three years under this arrangement, it is stated. "The amount of oil which the railroad will deliver to us, and the amount which we will furnish them will practically equalize each other at the start," said Captain John Barneson recently. "Later, however, the growing demands of the railroad's business will probably necessitate their buying additional oil from us." The production of the Santa Fe railroad's companies—the C. C. M. O. in Midway and the Petroleum Development Company in Olinda—aggregated about 400,000 barrels a month. The outcome of the agreement between the railroad and the oil company will be the building of a 52-mile, 8-inch spur pipe line by the General Petroleum from Lebec to Mohave, capable of transporting 20,000 to 30,000 barrels a day. Further it will—although not immediately—probably necessitate the doubling of the General pipe line from Pentland to Lebec, a distance of 32 miles. The undertaking of the General Petroleum will consequently assume considerable proportions, probably running to about $1,500,000 in cost. California has two of one in the northern Sierra Southern California.

Hence the imperative necessity of an experiment station big enough to tackle the fruit problems. Asked as to the necessity of the 200 acres asked for, he stated that more than 115 acres are to be devoted to orange and lemon grove experimental work alone. The remaining land will be taken up with experimental work in walnut, olive and other industries. Twenty-five acres will be devoted to fertilizers alone, while another 25 acres will be utilized to discover what stocks are best adapted to growing the best fruits. "Supplied with competent investigators we will be able to study problems wherever they exist and will not be confined to mere laboratory work. Fungus diseases, insect enemies, the breeding of better and improved stock, irrigation, cultivation and, in short, any and all conditions and subjects for the betterment of the growers and farmers of Southern California will be undertaken. "Naturally the citrus industry, being first in importance, will receive chief attention, but our work will by no means be confined to this one branch, but will embrace every other line of agriculture followed in this section. I predict that incalculable benefits will follow the establishment of the station." Guy C. Earl, regent of the university, presented the various appropriation requests and urged the legislators to make possible the ambitious plans of the university, especially in connection with the proposed extension of its agricultural department. Acting as chairman of the finance committee of the board of regents, he railroad and the oil company will be the building of a 52-mile, 8-inch spur pipe line by the General Petroleum from Lebec to Mohave, capable of transporting 20,000 to 30,000 barrels a day.

The undertaking of the General Petroleum will consequently assume considerable proportions, probably running to about $1,500,000 in cost. Although arrangements have not been made, it is expected that the Southern Pacific will enter into an agreement similar to that of the Santa Fe. The production of the Kern Trading and Oil Company would in that case be handled. WOMAN BRINGS SUIT Action has been begun in the superior court by Maud Alice Clay against Bennett Baxter demanding a settlement and the revocation of an agreement entered into with Baxter, which she alleges she was induced to sign by reason of misrepresentations on the part of the defendant. According to the papers in the case the woman sets forth the ownership of about twenty acres of land in Golden State tract, northeast of town; that Baxter had made certain representations to her whereby she was induced to allow him to take his residence upon the land and to work the same; and furthermore, that she did as he requested because of his alleged promise to marry her and because he had won her confidence.

AIDING FOREST STATIONS IN CALIFORNIA GOVERNMENT MAKES APPROPRIATION OF $10,000 FOR EXPERIMENT WORK IN THIS STATE TWO STATIONS ARE DEALING WITH IMPORTANT PROBLEMS OF CONSERVATION The public has long been familiar with the work of the Agricultural experiment stations maintained throughout the country by the Federal government. Few are aware, however, that the Department of Agriculture through the Forest Service has recently extended the scope of its investigations to include problems of forestry and conservation. As a result of this policy nine forest experiment stations have already been established, either independently or in co-operation with the state universities. Located in Washington, Idaho, Minnesota, Colorado, Arizona, Utah and California, these stations represent the important forest regions of the west and serve as centers for the study of problems peculiar to the locality as well as problems of universal importance. California has two of these stations, one in the northern Sierras and one in Southern California. The northern station is located in Plumas county near the town of Quincy. Situated in one of the finest timbered regions of the state, the work of this station is primarily the solution of the problems involved in perpetuating these forests and in securing the maximum yield in road will be a great help to the immigrant, permitting the moving of the product of his labors to market. Your county boulevard system will be a valuable factor, but we must provide roads radiating from this system to the places where the immigrant shall make his home. "Probably the greatest problems before the state will be to inculcate American ideals in the minds and hearts of these newcomers, and one suggestion to this end is that San Diego and other communities in the state establish night schools, where the foreigner may learn the English language and get a knowledge of American modes of living. They must be taught sanitation, a knowledge of American government and national customs and institutions. "Anything that can be done to make these newcomers self-supporting should be done, for unless they are, they will be of no use in developing the lands of the state." One of the most striking features of the San Diego exposition in 1915 will be its educational value in revealing the social conditions of the state and the different industrial methods with which the foreign immigrant will be compelled to work in the development of the resources of the Pacific coast." FORD MOTOR COMPANY'S RECORD PRODUCTION Monthly Output For January Was 17,000 Automobiles Built and Delivered Another production record in the automobile industry was shattered in January when the Ford Motor Company built and shipped from its factory more than 17,000 cars.

California has two of these stations, one in the northern Sierras and one in Southern California. The northern station is located in Plumas county near the town of Quincy. Situated in one of the finest timbered regions of the state, the work of this station is primarily the solution of the problems involved in perpetuating these forests and in securing the maximum yield in timber and other forest products. In addition, the possibilities of reforesting the vast brush deserts of brushfields of northern California, resulting from Indian fires, is receiving attention. This problem alone involves over a million acres, or land enough to produce fifty million board feet of lumber annually. In Southern California owing to the radical differences in conditions the work of the experiment station is along entirely different lines. Here watershed protection is the big problem and investigation to determine the relative value of chaparral and forest cover for this purpose are of first importance. The possibilities of forest extension into the chaparral, the introduction of new species, among which might be mentioned the less common Australian eucalyptus, Spanish cork oak, and the Deodar cedar of India, methods of chaparral extermination, are also receiving attention. While the Forest Experimental Stations are independent of the National Forests, they are closely associated with them, their purpose being to determine the most satisfactory and efficient methods of handling the resources involved. For this work during the coming year it is estimated that the National Government will spend in California alone approximately $10,000. While a portion of this will go for buildings and equipment at the station, the bulk of it will be used in carrying on the investigations already under way and proposed. IMMIGRANTS THROUGH THE PANAMA CANAL There Will Be Thousands Of Them, and Many Of Them Will Have Little Dinero Some of the problems that will confront California when immigrants begin coming to this state through the Panama Canal were outlined in an address by Rev. Dana W. Bartlett, chairman of the State Immigration Board, at a meeting of the San Diego League Monthly Output For January Was 17,000 Automobiles Built and Delivered Another production record in the automobile industry was shattered in January when the Ford Motor Company built and shipped from its factory more than 17,000 cars. This is by far and away the largest number of automobiles ever constructed in one month by any company. It is more cars than the company built during the entire first year of its existence. Since the beginning of its manufacturing year in October when it was announced the company intended building 100,000 cars this season, this announcement coming close on the heels of that stating the company had built more than 75,000 cars last year, proved almost too startling for those not familiar with this gigantic business to grasp. When the announcement was first made, very few papers in the country quoted it aright, most of them believing that a pardonable exaggeration had been made, or else that the person who wrote the figures had let his fingers slip, and had not corrected the resultant error. But, when after the close of December it was announced by the company that more cars had been built and shipped during October, November and December, last year, the hitherto incredulous began to sit up and take notice. December, however, was only a beginning. Manufacture began at the Ford factory with a rush with the new year. From the first day of the month until January 13, there was a rapid mounting of production figures. On this latter date all previous records were discounted. The company built and shipped out in this single day 1,336 cars. This figure was not surpassed during the balance of the month. But, those closely in touch with the situation do not think that January, 1913, will go down in history as the banner manufacturing month of 1913, for the Ford Motor Company. As February was a short month, the record still stands, but it is believed it will be in much danger during March and with the coming of April, and the schedule of 1,000 cars per day which the company has set for itself from then on until the close of its manufacturing year in order to turn out its announced output, it is thought the January record will in the vernacular “look sick.” The machine has never been favor- THE PANAMA CANAL There Will Be Thousands of Them, and Many of Them Will Have Little Dinero Some of the problems that will confront California when immigrants begin coming to this state through the Panama Canal were outlined in an address by Rev. Dana W. Bartlett, chairman of the State Immigration Board, at a meeting of the San Diego League of Social Workers. Education in American citizenship, development of transportation facilities, help of the sort that will help the immigrants to help themselves, were pointed out as fundamental necessities in the assimilation of these newcomers. “These people,” said the speaker, “will come here with but little money, but they will be a rugged people, strong of body and well fit to cultivate and develop the back country. They will need help, of a practical kind, because to be successful in this work they must be taught American methods of farming and of finance. They will come to settle in a state where industrial methods are entirely different from anything to which they have been accustomed. “The day when the immigrant will pack his belongings on his back is passed. He will need roads. In the development of the back country of the state little communities will spring up, and the newcomer cannot construct the network of roads giving outlet for his products, and without these his efforts are doomed to failure. We must be prepared and willing to provide these roads. “The San Diego and Arizona rail- As February was a short month, the record still stands, but it is believed it will be in much danger during March and with the coming of April, and the schedule of 1,000 cars per day which the company has set for itself from then on until the close of its manufacturing year in order to turn out its announced output, it is thought the January record will in the vernacular “look sick.” The machine has never been favored, doing its duty over country roads as well as village streets. Practically all the expense for the upkeep of this car which has averaged better than 23 miles on one gallon of gasoline, has been the cost of gasoline and oil and tire wear. The engine has run rithmicly without once coming to a complaining stop because of being out of order for a distance twice the circumference of the globe, or six times across the continent of North America. “From all appearance,” says Mr. Davis, “it will run as many more miles and then some. I believe my car will live as long as I will,” is the way Mr. Davis puts it. If anyone has a better record for a car continuously in service for that length of time, Mr. Davis would like to hear of it.—Adv.
