Thursday, March 12 A. U. W. BOARD TRANSACTS BUSINESS MANY QUESTIONS CONSIDERED AT REGULAR SESSION SATURDAY AFTERNOON SUPT. McFADDEN GIVEN PERMISSION TO ACCEPT HIGHWAY APPOINTMENT Superintendent Ralph McFadden reported to the board of directors of the Anaheim Union Water Company, Saturday, that he had been appointed a member of the highway commission, and that he would accept provided it was agreeable to the directors of the A. U. W. Co., and he agreed to make such an adjustment of salary as the directors thought right. On motion of Beazley, seconded by Witckett, Mr. McFadden was given permission to accept the appointment, and such an adjustment of salary to be made as experience will show to be equitable. J. C. Sheppard appeared before the board and stated that unless something was done to protect the fill on the ditch near his property the next big rain would probably damage the ditch. He stated if the board would furnish the pipe he would do all teaming and work necessary to put in such protection. On motion of Sherwood, seconded by Witckett, this was referred to the ditch committee with power to act. Superintendent reported he had raised the box at C. McFadden's property and repaired the leaks in the ditch near A. Edward's property at Yorba Linda.

Of all the cereal oats one which suffers more Superintendent reported he had raised the box at C. McFadden's property and repaired the leaks in the ditch near A. Edward's property at Yorba Linda. The proposition to lower the pipe line on Truslow avenue, Fullerton, was referred to the superintendent with power to act. The report of the finance committee was read and approved and warrant ordered drawn in payment of the various demands therein recommended. The report of the secretary, treasureer and superintendent were each in turn received and filed. On motion of Dwyer, seconded by Sherwood, the president and secretary were authorized to borrow a sufficient amount of money to meet the deficit for the month of February. The secretary reported that the parties in the Yorba Linda district who had petitioned for a pipe line in that locality were not making any efforts to settle for same and on motion of McFadden, seconded by Dwyer, the secretary was instructed to turn all bills for pipe, and pipe lines over to the attorney for immediate action. Director Dwyer reported the good roads people had plowed up the ditch on the Garden Grove road. The proposition of rebuilding the ditch was referred to the superintendent and ditch committee with power to act. Superintendent reported he had stopped the drilling of the well at P. P. No. 4 at a depth of 610 feet. On motion of Dwyer, seconded by Wickett, the president was authorized to sign the Harry Duffill trust agreement in behalf of the A. U. W. Co. On motion of Wickett, seconded by Dwyer, the secretary was instructed to mail a check to the Tri-Counties Reforestation Committee for $250. The report of the St. Helens Petroleum Company for the month of February was received and filed. A communication was received from the Standard Oil Company in regard to contract for the royalty oil for the ensuing year, and on motion of Dwyer, seconded by Beazley, the secretary was instructed to advertise for bids for the oil for one year. On motion of Beazley, seconded by Sherwood, the communication of the city clerk of Fullerton in regard to piping the crossing on the Amalgamated road was laid over for consideration. The following transfers of stock wer on motion granted: Seven shares from Chas. H. Lee to R. L. Laidlaw; two and one-half shares from Jacob Stern to William Hulley. On motion the meeting adjourned until Friday, March 13, 1914, at 2 o'clock P.M., and the secretary was instructed to invite all parties to be present whose property adjoins the right-of-way of the main Anaheim canal. WM. T. WALLOP, Secretary. NEW SCALE REMEDY Professor H. S. Fawcett, Plant Pathologist, State Commission of Horticulture, at the Pathological Laboratory, returned this week from an extended visit to Florida, Cuba and the Isle of Pines, where he went in his official capacity to study the citrus conditions and to inspect fruits, diseases, pests and remedies which might prove beneficial to the California product. He brought back with him a remedy for the purple scale which has proved eminently successful in Florida and if conditions are favorable for its development here its introduction will revolutionize the expensive methods of fighting this most destructive of citrus pests and will save to the state and orcnardists millions of dollars annually expended in spraying and fumigation. The remedy is a fungus which preys upon the scale. In Florida it has proven a positive remedy for scale, minimizing its destructive work to such an extent that it is counted negligible. Professor Fawcett, like many other eminent scientists or discoverers, is reticul about his great work, declaring that it is but an experiment here, but concedes that if the fungus can be successfully transplanted and conditions such losses are the seed-eating birds and measure in dollars evident, since it means between large profits. The annual loss, basis is fairly startling. In the United States culture is given the destructive insects. 50 species that attack insects cause a loss 8 per cent of the cost $80,000,000. Of all the cereal crops one which suffers most Ohio and Indiana wheat were lost than of the Hessian fly. To these two states we have fruit crop attack every tree and its production limbs, leaves and fruit enemy, and $8,000,000 ally to help keep check. To this add a normal shrinkage of corn and you have twenty the loss to the apple. Truck gardens, plantations, forests crops lose 10 per cent cotton-boll weevil growers 4 per cent year, or a loss of $1 million damaged by fire of the country is less loss to agriculture out of the United States through these various $400,000,000. Is it not reasonable such losses annually States would be sufficient price of fruit, cereals be one cause for their ing? As bird life decreases, and if left in a few years, make itable.

One of the laborers was beaten up on the streets of Placentia, and had to be taken to a hospital in Los Angeles. The I. W. W. promised that they would return to the fray with 25 men, and that they would proceed to do things to the laborers who declined to strike at the request of the dissatisfied persons. According to the information received at the sheriff's office through Constable Schumacher of Placentia, three or four agitators are the cause of the trouble. Two or three of them were employed on the job and were dismissed. They then began making trouble. The pipe line is the one being constructed by the Southern Counties Gas Company for conducting natural gas from the Olinda fields to the pipe lines that supply Fullerton, Anaheim, Santa Ana and Orange. About 20 Mexicans have been employed digging the ditch. They have been paid by the foot, and most of the men have been making $3 a day. The men handling the pipe are mostly white men. The pipe fitters have been paid by the day, some of them $3 and some $3.50. St. Patrick's dance at Anaheim opera house, Tuesday evening, March 17. Irish neckties at Erickson & Nowotny's.

Here climate and soil combine to make this a great fruit and grain producing state. With our population rapidly increasing, new cultural methods developing, irrigation systems being extended, the areas of the state that can be devoted to fruit and agriculture are likely to increase for many years to come. From the vegetable world comes nearly all the material by which we are fed and clothed. Investigation of the food supply of birds has, in recent years, been carried on through the United States government by many careful observers, and enough has been ascertained to prove that our wild birds are very important factors in the growing of our crops. Weeds and injurious insects cost the agriculturists of the United States millions of dollars annually, both in direct losses and in expenditures for labor and material necessary to protect the crops. Anything which tends to reduce the number of weed seeds or to check the ravages of injurious insects is therefore a direct benefit. Among the most effective natural agents in checking such losses are the insectivorous and seed-eating birds, and the importance of their preservation, while difficult to measure in dollars and cents, is self-evident, since it means the difference between large profits and heavy losses. The annual loss, based upon statistics, is fairly startling. In the yearbook of the United States Department of Agriculture is given the annual loss through destructive insects. There are about 50 species that attack the corn. These insects cause a loss annually of about 8 per cent of the corn crop, or about $80,000,000. Of all the cereal crops, wheat is the one which suffers most. In one year in such losses are the insectivorous and seed-eating birds, and the importance of their preservation, while difficult to measure in dollars and cents, is self-evident, since it means the difference between large profits and heavy losses. The annual loss, based upon statistics, is fairly startling. In the yearbook of the United States Department of Agriculture is given the annual loss through destructive insects. There are about 50 species that attack the corn. These insects cause a loss annually of about 8 per cent of the corn crop, or about $80,000,000. Of all the cereal crops, wheat is the one which suffers most. In one year in Ohio and Indiana, 2,577,000 acres of wheat were lost through the ravages of the Hessian fly. This meant a loss to these two states of $100,000,000. The insects that reduce our annual fruit crop attack every portion of the tree and its product. Boots, trunk, limbs, leaves and fruit, each have their enemy, and $8,000,000 are spent annually to help keep these enemies in check. To this add $12,000,000, the annual shrinkage of the apple harvest, and you have twenty million dollars, the loss to the apple crop. Truck gardens, hay fields, sugar plantations, forests and miscellaneous crops lose 10 per cent each year. The cotton-boll weevil costs the cotton growers 4 per cent of their crop each year, or a loss of $12,000,000. The estimated damage by insects to the trees of the country is $100,000,000. The loss to agriculture in general throughout the United States for one year, through these various sources, is over $400,000,000. Is it not reasonable to believe that such losses annually to the United States would be sufficient to affect the price of fruit, cereals and lumber, and be one cause for the higher cost of living? As bird life decreases, insect life increases, and if left unchecked, would, in a few years, make the earth uninhabitable. The increase from one pair of these very destructive insects amounts to 50 or 60 million in one season. The increase of the gypsy moth in eight years would result in the defoliation of every tree in the United States. It has long been known that birds play an important part in their relation to agriculture; but there seems to be a tendency to observe the harm they do rather than the good. Whether a bird is injurious or beneficial depends upon what he eats. It must not be supposed that there are many birds whose habits are wholly beneficial. Most of them are neither wholly beneficial nor wholly injurious. Some may be harmful at one season of the year, but they compensate for it by destroying quantities of insect pests at another. A failure of the customary food supply sometimes leads birds to forage upon crops which they do not commonly eat. Where wild fruit may be found, the cultivated fruits are seldom molested. Usually the insectivorous bird eats that which is most easily obtained. Twenty-nine species of the California birds feed upon the destructive black olive scale, several of them consuming the scale in great quantities. The two birds most conspicuous in this respect are the black-headed grosbeak, and the bush tit. The bird digests its food so rapidly that it eats more than its own weight of insect food daily. There are many causes for the loss and destruction of our birds. Many are killed during the migratory season; some animals, especially the cat, prey upon them. The small boy uses them as a target and the sportsman kills them for sport, but the greatest destruction comes from the plume-hunter, who kills the birds to satisfy the millinery trade. The more beautiful an article is, the more it is sought; thus it is the most beautiful and highly prized species of water birds, shore birds, herons, and song birds that are the ones most persecuted and are disappearing the most rapidly. The state of Florida, once marvelously rich in bird life, has been swept almost as clean of birds as the Colorado desert. Forty-eight per cent of our birds have been killed within the last 20 years; nearly half, while in the South, 77 per cent have been killed, and some of the more beautiful species have become extinct. Just to give an idea of what this destruction means, listen to this: One millinery firm received in a single consignment 32,000 dead hummingbirds and another firm received at one time, 30,000 water birds and 300,000 pairs of wings. A hat was seen in a Chicago window with a row of hummingbirds clear around the brim. Three London feather sales in 1911 show the following: 129,000 agrets; 13,598 herons; 20,698 birds of paradise; 41,000 condors and eagles; 9,000 other birds; totol; 213,296. That the lives of the very choicest birds of the world should be blotted out to adorn the hats of vain or thoughtless women is a shame, a disgrace and a world-wide loss. Special laws for the protection of our wild birds were not considered necessary until the middle of the 19th century, but from time to time, as their economic value has been discovered broader and more strict laws have been made for their protection. Each state makes its own game and bird laws, and birds that are on the protected list in one state may be placed on the game list in another. For example, in the northern states the robin, which is one of the most valuable of insectivorous birds, is protected, while in the south, it is classed as a game bird, and thousands are killed annually. Many such inconsistencies between the laws of different states exist, and it is easily seen that the best protection can be most promptly secured and uniformly maintained by the federal government, rather than by the state authorities. Some of the most cautious and expert naturalists in the United States have been studying on this subject from the standpoint of the scientist, and are responsible for the steadily increasing interest and strength of this conservation movement. Through these men, congress, during the present session, will pass a bill providing for the federal protection of migratory birds. It is proposed that the Department of Agriculture shall be authorized to adopt suitable regulations for the desired protection, and with the vast amount of scientifically collected and carefully classified information which it has, this department will be well equipped for the task. Favorite Saloon L. Wisser, Mgr. Choicest of Wines Liquors and Cigars SCHLITZ BEER On Draught Most insects, at one stage of their existence, are aerial, and to keep in check this horde of flying things, by day, we find the swallows, chimney swifts, peewees bluebirds, cedar birds, and other fly catchers. The nighthawks and whippoorwills take up the chase, catching moths and other insects which escape the day-flying birds. The warblers, who are light, active little creatures, flutter about the tips of twigs, and pick insects from leaf and blossom. The viroes patiently explore the underside of leaves and odd nooks and corners to see that no skulker escapes. The nuthatches and creepers attend to the tree trunks and limbs, carefully examining each inch of bark for insect eggs or larvae, or excavating for ants and worms which they hear within. On the ground, the hunt is continued by thrushes and sparrows and other birds which feed upon the innumerable forms of small terrestrial life. Along the margin of ponds and streams the sandpipers, plovers, woodcocks and snipes are found. The gulls, herons and other sea birds inhabit the coasts, beaches and bays, keeping them free from decaying animal matter. The vultures and buzzards are the greatest scavengers, and are protected by law and public sentiment, in this state. Hawks and owls render great service by killing the small rodents, so destructive to the crops. From fall to spring, the winter birds are reaping a crop of weed seed, which have been studying on this subject from the standpoint of the scientist, and are responsible for the steadily increasing interest and strength of this conservation movement. Through these men, congress, during the present session, will pass a bill providing for the federal protection of migratory birds. It is proposed that the Department of Agriculture shall be authorized to adopt suitable regulations for the desired protection, and with the vast amount of scientifically collected and carefully classified information which it has, this department will be well equipped for the task.
