BETTER METHODS OF GROWING ORANGES DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE WILL ASSIST SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA CITRUS GROWERS BEST VARIETIES OF TREES AND LARGEST PRODUCERS OF FRUIT TO BE PROPAGATED Eugenics applied to citrus fruits is the problem in which the department of agriculture at Washington has become deeply interested, as the result of a visit to the national capital of A. G. Shamel, who has been conducting highly interesting experimental work in the orange and other citrus fields of Southern California. Mr. Shamel has been telling the department the nature of the campaign for better citrus fruit he is making in California, and is getting much encouragement from the department. Mr. Shamel is enthusiastic over his work and is convinced the result will be to make California oranges and lemons superior to those of any other region. G. Harold Powell, who is here for the Citrus Fruit league, says he considers Shamel's endeavor to improve types of citrus fruit the farthest development in that industry for many years, in fact, since the introduction of the Washington navel orange. The purpose of Mr. Shamel is to develop the most desirable brands of citrus fruits. For instance there are... Mr. Shamel is enthusiastic over his work and is convinced the result will be to make California oranges and lemons superior to those of any other region. G. Harold Powell, who is here for the Citrus Fruit league, says he considers Shamel's endeavor to improve types of citrus fruit the farthest development in that industry for many years, in fact, since the introduction of the Washington navel orange. The purpose of Mr. Shamel is to develop the most desirable brands of citrus fruits. For instance, there are nine different types of navel oranges, but only two or three of these types produce regular and profitable crops. The others are reversions or atavisms, sometimes called drones. "Our problem," said Mr. Shamel today, "is to find out if possible how to eliminate the drones and propagate only profitable and productive types of navel oranges and other citrus fruits." What Mr. Shamel is endeavoring to get now is the performance records of the citrus trees, whereby it will be known which trees are the best and which are not desirable. Particularly is he anxious to get the fruit growers to study the individual trees. Some of the fruit growers, he says, are taking hold of it, though some are skeptical. That there is a vast difference in types is apparent, Mr. Shamel says, from the fact that in certain types of the Eureka lemons there is a difference of 350 packed boxes an acre a season. "What we desire above all," said Mr. Shamel, is to have the fruit grower examine his trees for himself. There is nothing finer than the California navel orange, but it is possible to develop it into something still better by promoting only the best types." Mr. Shamel said that the plan he proposed to better the citrus fruits was much like what had been done in Iowa and other states to improve corn with remarkable success. It is not the finding of new varieties, but the developing of the best in the existent varieties which he is seeking to bring about.

A THRILLING STORY "A Boy's Outing Under the Equator" is the subject of a popular lecture to be given by S. C. Hartranft in the Presbyterian church next Tuesday evening, July 8. This lecture will be in part his own experience in South America. It will contain a bit of history and travel and an experience that nobody would covet. Deserted, stranded, he will tell how he ate monkeys and alligators, what he did for clothes, and how he finally got home. Mr. Hartranft is an easy, fluent, graceful speaker and those who have ever heard him speak on any occasion are always anxious to hear him again. If you have never heard him, hear him this time.
