EXPERIMENTS IN LIMA BEAN CULTURE INCREASED YIELD OF TWENTY PER CENT RESULT OF TESTS BY EXPERTS BULLETIN ISSUED BY STATE UNIVERSITY INTERESTING TO BEAN GROWERS During the past few years there has been a great awakening upon the subject of the selective improvement of farm crops, and marked results have been obtained by the selection and breeding of better types of corn, tobacco, cotton, and cereal crops. The improvement of general farm crops has not advanced as far in this direction as in the case of horticultural crops, because the necessity of such improvement has not been so apparent, but with the increasing price of land and with greater attention being given to specialized and intensive farming, such improvement of crops is now becoming of as great interest in the case of fruit, flowers, and live stock. For several years the Agricultural Experiment Station of the University has conducted experiments in developing more uniform and higher yielding types of lima beans than those now used by growers of this product. The results of these experiments have been most encouraging. In brief it may be said that the increased yields obtained from tests made with the selected strains have been about 20 per cent. Plants from the foundation stock was determined by means of the plant-to-row method, in which trials one row is planted from the beans of each of the selected plants, an accurate record of the yield of each of the rows, being kept. Such trials have been made each year since 1908, both at Somis and at Oxnard. In the seasons of 1911 and 1912 the most promising strains were increased for field plantings. Two of the strains were seeded on the ranch of F. A. Snyder at Somis, in the ordinary manner, against check areas of common stock for comparison, and showed an increase of about 25 percent. From the planting of 1911 fifty were deemed worthy of further trial in 1912, seventeen of which were grown at Somis the preceding season. These fifty strains were planted on plots of approximately one-twentieth of an acre, in competition test, on the Patterson ranch at Oxnard in 1912. Seed selection is, at present, practiced to some extent, but no sucn method as will do much toward maintaining a definite, uniform type is in use. The method used is that of hand picking for seed purposes, and amounts only to a good recleaning with elimination of the "poppers," a well defined and undesirable bean of the small, flat class of limas. The practice of hand picking is good just so far as it affects the quality of the seed. By hand picking a very large portion of the "poppers" are removed, and any seed of the large, flat class of limas which may be very small because unripe at harvest, and hence likely to make weak growth if planted, will also be removed, together with all decayed or moldy beans. This insures, as far as strong seed can, a good germination and an even stand in the field the following season with a limited number of "poppers."

For several years the Agricultural Experiment Station of the University has conducted experiments in developing more uniform and higher yielding types of lima beans than those now used by growers of this product. The results of these experiments have been most encouraging. In brief it may be said that the increased yields obtained from tests made with the selected strains have been about 20 per cent. The experiments here recorded were begun by the writer in 1908 in co-operation with a number of Ventura county farmers, and although at the outset it was intended to include selections for earliness as well as yield, on account of the impossibility of having a qualified man on the ground during the entire ripening period the experiments were finally reduced to the standpoint of yield only. In the fall of 1908 about 10,000 individual plants which showed from a cursory examination, desirable characteristics were staked in the field. At the time of the first selection in July, earliness of blooming stood almost alone in influencing the marking of plants, except that some attention was given to size and vigor of vine where this did not appear to be due to a difference in growing space, and hence, in amount of plant food available. Vigorous and thrifty plants, which appeared to be so because of inherent character, were selected, and in no case were small, stunted plants chosen. The plants were pulled, care being taken to separate the vines from those of surrounding plants, and each was inspected quickly after turning it over, so that the pods were easily seen. If the pods were found to be immature, or if the total number of pods was small, the plant was dropped, except that some plants with a small number of pods were carried along if the plant was very mature, and some very high yielding plants were kept, though immature. In this way, about three thousand plants were selected out of the original ten thousand. After a short period of drying, the pods were picked from each plant and placed in a paper bag. The bags were numbered consecutively, corresponding to cards on which data regarding the number of dry pods, the number of pods to be shelled, and number of pods too immature to shell, and length of the vine, were recorded. Two numbers were then arbitrarily chosen for the plants from each field, one representing number of dry pods, the other representing total number of pods, and those plants which did not exceed those numbers were discarded. INSECT EXTERMINATION IN NATIONAL FORESTS Forest Service Also Working on Restoration of Stock Ranges The Forest Service of the Department of Agriculture has just completed a series of control projects for the extermination of the insects killing sugar and yellow pine on the National Forests. The work has been conducted on four forests, the Sierra, Trinity, Klamath and California. In all about 3,000,000 feet have been treated or a total of 3,000 trees. These trees have been killed by a little beetle known to scientists as "Dendroctonus" which when translated into the seed. By hand picking a very large portion of the "poppers" are removed, and any seed of the large, flat class of limas which may be very small because unripe at harvest, and hence likely to make weak growth if planted, will also be removed, together with all decayed or moldy beans. This insures, as far as strong seed can, a good germination and an even stand in the field the following season with a limited number of "poppers." It is a practice which is conducive to higher yields per acre from the seed used, but makes no pretension of permanently improving the seed. A better method of seed selection than the one now commonly practiced would be in addition to that outlined above, the selection of individual plants in the field. This can be done at small cost, just before harvest of the general crop. The old method of harvesting, that of pulling the plants, will have to be used, and furthermore, the plants must be carried out of the field to be piled, in order that the selections shall not be in the way of the cutters at the harvest of the main crop. However, by taking the beans required for seed from near the sides of the field, one will avoid carrying the plants long distances. Before threshing, the machine should be cleaned of any morning-glory or other weed seed which it might have, thus preventing, in large measure, the spreading of these pests from infected to uninfected fields. It is the general practice to cut many fields before the plants are fully mature and before the beans have reached their full size. This indicates the need of an earlier-maturing bean, which will lessen the danger of loss from early fall rains. Such early rains always mean serious loss and inconvenience to the grower.

parts from each plant和 place pods were picked from each plant and placed in a paper bag. The bags were numbered consecutively, corresponding to cards on which data regarding the number of dry pods, the number of pods to be shelled, and number of pods too immature to shell, and length of the vine, were recorded. Two numbers were then arbitrarily chosen for the plants from each field, one representing number of dry pods, the other representing total number of pods, and those plants which did not exceed either of these numbers were discarded. About fifteen hundred of the more immature and light yielding plants were discarded in this way. The pods from all the remaining plants were shelled, keeping the lot from each plant separate from all the others. Finally, all but about six hundred from the original ten thousand were discarded before planting in the spring of 1909. The seed from these six hundred plants were grown in rows as foundation stock in 1909, the seed from each plant being planted separately, so that the yield, and other desirable characters of their product, might be determined. The fact that certain selected plants produced yields is no evidence that they will transmit this characteristic to their progeny. This can only be told by field trials conducted in such a manner as to enable the performance record of these plants to be studied over a series of years. Some plants may themselves be productive, but lack projective efficiency in the desired direction. This prepotency of the parent plant must first be determined before one can be assured that the plant is a desirable one to increase. Prepotency in a desired direction is just as important in plants as in animals. The projective efficiency of the The Forest Service of the Department of Agriculture has just completed a series of control projects for the extermination of the insects killing sugar and yellow pine on the National Forests. The work has been conducted on four forests, the Sierra, Trinity, Klamath and California. In all about 3,000,000 feet have been treated or a total of 3,000 trees. These trees have been killed by a little beetle known to scientists as "Dendroctonus" which when translated means literally "killer of trees." That this little beetle lives up to its name is evidenced by the fact that these 3,000 trees were killed during one summer season, and represent only a small part of the annual loss from these pests to the forests of the State of California. This annual loss is very conservatively placed at 25,000,000 feet. It is to prevent this large loss to our mature timber of the state that the Forest Service is doing this work. Every tree treated this year means a saving of one tree next year, and one or more trees the following year, for under favorable conditions these insects increase very rapidly. As the average stumpage price of a tree ranges from $2.00 to $3.00 and the cost of treating trees is the same, the saving in timber next year will pay for the control work of this year, and each succeeding year will be a clear gain to be added to the timber resources of the state. The Forest Service branch of the U.S. Department of Agriculture has established an experiment station in Central Utah for the specific purpose of applying intensive study by exact scientific methods toward the restoration of worn out stock ranges and the improvement in both quantity and quality of the forage produced on the National Forests.

Hunt, dean of the agricultural college, before the Claremont Pomological Club. The station will be the only one of its kind in the world, and it is expected that the benefits to be derived will add millions to this important industry in the Southland. "During the past year there were 590 students in the agricultural department of the State University, 217 in the State Agricultural College and 159 taking the shorter course at Davis," said Dr. Hunt. "A year ago President Wheeler asked me under what conditions I would come to California, and I told him there was just one condition, and that was, that I might bring together in one institution a complete force of instructors. Beginning with July we will have more than 100 men on the staff of the agricultural college. "The results of our experiments are not easily measured, but I do wish to" "I presume you are all interested in the location of the experiment station, and those of us who are to have the locating of it have taken no interest in it up to the present time. First of all, we must have an experiment station in a climate that will grow the kind of crops we are to work upon. Therefore we must establish the station in a climate that will grow oranges, lemons, guavas and other fruits of like nature. Next, we must locate the station near some town where we can have telephone and telegraph service, gas and electricity, and we must locate it where there are good schools and good churches, because we will have to employ men to work. We have to find them somewhere and we have to offer them some inducement, and the men we want won't locate in some isolated place, away from churches and schools, not even away from moving picture shows. You may not appreciate the difficulties which the administration has in securing people to do this work. "Since the first of last October I have offered eight different men $4,000 a year and they have declined to come, and another refused to come for $5,-000. We must have 200 acres of land for the station, and if a portion of the 200 acres will not grow the crops we want we will have to have more. I think we will never get the problem worked out here in Southern California until we have one central station and then smaller tracts of land all within driving distance by automobile. "We, of course, will not consider land upon which there is any question of title. We will not consider land at an exorbitant price, and I must say that so far we have been pleased with the attitude toward the station. One man has said within the last twenty-four hours: 'If any land I own suits you the price will be all right.'" "The location of the experiment station will be decided by the board of regents and the man who has most "A year ago President Wheeler asked me under what conditions I would come to California, and I told him there was just one condition, and that was, that I might bring together in one institution a complete force of instructors. Beginning with July we will have more than 100 men on the staff of the agricultural college. "The results of our experiments are not easily measured, but I do wish to call attention to certain facts. The State of California is as big as the six New England states, plus New York, Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Those nine States have 25,000,000 people and the State of California has 2,500,000. "I had a letter the other day from a man who said he had $700, and he wanted to know how to spend it out here. He said he had literature from all over California that said you could grow anything here from a bean to a fig. I wrote him that it was true, but it did not mean he could make a living out here without effort. This is a State of diversity, and this causes a greater problem. "East of the Mississippi River there are thirty States each with an experiment station, but their problems are those of a humid climate. We have an arid climate. Where is there an experiment station studying the conditions of an arid climate? The State Legislature did not pass an appropriation of $185,000 because they loved us, but because they realized the importance of having such an experiment station. Of course, I know that you are especially interested in the problems which will be considered by the experiment station to be established in Southern California. "Dr. H. J. Weber is to be the director of the Citrus Experiment station and dean of the graduate school of tropical agriculture which will be associated with it. The prominent industry of Southern California is the growing of citrus fruits, and the problems will be confined mainly to this subject; the treatment of diseases, the handling and shipping of fruit, and even here much remains to be done along these lines. There will also be experiments in fertilizing the soil, for the wealth of the soil depends largely upon what we feed it. Probably of all the questions that come to me, more are asked concerning the fertilization of the soil than regarding any other part of the citrus industry, and the experiments that have been conducted are not enough to give reliable information. "It is planned to start some experiments that shall last during the life of then smaller tracts of land all within driving distance by automobile. "We, of course, will not consider land upon which there is any question of title. We will not consider land at an exorbitant price, and I must say that so far we have been pleased with the attitude toward the station. One man has said within the last twenty-four hours: 'If any land I own suits you the price will be all right.' "The location of the experiment station will be decided by the board of regents, and the man who has the most to say about it is Dr. Weber. We will be glad if anyone has land which he wishes to have considered. If there is he should present a description of the property, the conditions and the price to Robert P. Merritt, president of the board of regents at the University of California before August 1. "The College of Agriculture is here to promote the public welfare and to co-operate with every person in this State. Its principal aim is a successful family life, and the reason above all others why California should be willing to come down here and establish a station worth while is because in promoting citrus culture you do for the family life what is worth while." INJURED IN AUTO CRASH Pinned under an automobile which had turned a complete somersault with him and his two companions between Anaheim and Orange last Friday, Willard Shadel missed death by the narrowest of margins yesterday afternoon. He escaped with painful injuries while the other two occupants of the car were thrown clear and were unhurt. A broken steering rod was the cause of the accident, which occurred about 2 o'clock. Shadel had been requested to carry a traveling man to Anaheim, it is said. With Horace Talley as third passenger, they started out. The mishap took place near the Ford ranch on a rough stretch of road just this side of the Southern Pacific railroad crossing. When the steering rod broke the car veered to the roadside. The front wheels sunk in soft sand and the rear end of the car went on and over. It had rammed directly between a telephone post and an electric light post, missing one of the poles by a few inches. The side of the car rested across Shadel's hips with his head under the overturned body of the machine. He was released and was able to walk. The three men were taken into a passing automobile and brought back to Santa Ana, where they proceeded home." and shipping of fruit, and even here much remains to be done along these lines.

Probably of all the questions that come to me, more are asked concerning the fertilization of the soil than regarding any other part of the citrus industry, and the experiments that have been conducted are not enough to give reliable information. "It is planned to start some experiments that shall last during the life of the tree. Many such experiments have been started and will ultimately solve the question. And what is true of fertilizers is equally true of cultivation, pruning and other phases of citrus culture. "While the world may be searched in order to know that we have the best sorts, the facts remain that with most fruits the native bred sorts supplant the improved varieties. The grape fruit of California is in demand, but the fruit grown is of Florida origin. We should have a thin-skinned and nearly seedless fruit of this variety. The tangerines grown in California are all of good quality, but they are so small that they are not marketable. "Of the far-famed California navels, it has been found that many of the trees are light bearers. Many problems of importance confront this State, and all of those subjects will be taken up at an early date. As you know, a very few days after the frost occurred in Southern California we had ten men at work on that problem. Two of them are still at work, and we expect to employ them for six months more. We intend to put up buildings where we can determine the merits of the various smudge pots. It seems to me that we have not fully solved the problem and we intend to go to the bottom of it." The side of the car rested across Shadel's hips with his head under the overturned body of the machine. He was released and was able to walk. The three men were taken into a passing automobile and brought back to Santa Ana, where they proceeded home. The effects of the blow across the hips began to take effect on Shadel later on. His legs were effected with paralysis last evening, but were recovering today, and it is thought that he is not seriously hurt. It is stated that had the car struck above or below his hips, it would have been either a broken neck, ribs or legs. The automobile was quite the worse for the experience, but was not seriously damaged. It is being brought home today.

The regular monthly meeting of the Juvenile Court Committee Saturday night at Santa Ana brought about a discussion as to the authority of the committee over chorus girls in that city who are under age. The report given to the committee was that several girls employed at the Santa Ana moving picture shows are in the habit of keeping exceedingly late hours. They are living at rooming houses here without parents or guardians, and with some of them joy-rides are frequent occurrences. The committee does not have any jurisdiction over adults, but there are circumstances in which it has a good deal to say about the behavior and employment of minors. No action was taken at the meeting Saturday evening, and the matter is still under consideration. The matter came to the attention of the committee on a specific complaint that last week one crowd of girls arrived at their rooming house at about midnight, and another contingent came in after an automobile ride about 3 o'clock in the morning.
