EXTENSION OF IRRIGATION PROJECTS IMPORTANT CONFERENCE BEING HELD IN DENVER TO DISCUSS MATTER FEDERAL GOVERNMENT'S POLICY NOT AS SATISFACTORY AS MIGHT BE The extension of irrigation projects so that in the course of time the entire arid West may be made to blossom as the rose will be the subject of discussion at an important conference being held in Denver. The conference met in response to a call issued last month by Secretary of the Interior Lane. The chief purpose is to discuss a plan for practical co-operation between the different states and the federal government in carrying out irrigation and reclamation projects on a much larger scale than has been attempted heretofore. The present policy of the federal government in regards to the reclamation of Western lands is not altogether satisfactory to the states most interested. It is believed that a new policy may be worked out that will be satisfactory to all concerned and at the same time accomplish better results in the great work of reclamation and conservation. The first and most important step, in the opinion of those best acquainted with the subject, will be to devise a practical plan of federal and state co-operation in cleaning up the many struggling Carey projects in the West. The states expected to participate in the conference are Oregon, Washington, Idaho, New Mexico, Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada, Montana, South Dakota, North Dakota, and Utah. On Tuesday next the governors of the most or all of these states are to meet in Denver to arrange a program for the conference and to discuss various matters of common interest and import. has made a particular success of some practical branch of fruit growing, explaining her methods and results. Considering now the program in the other direction, it will be noted that on Tuesday a meeting or conference on "Apple Culture" will commence at 8 A.M. and continue each hour throughout the forenoon, while in the afternoon the subject of "Codling Moth" is scheduled for the whole time between 1:30 and 5. This will be for people who are more interested in the culture of this fruit than in any other subject. Papers will be presented by growers and other competent speakers upon the culture of the apple in our most important problems of the industry. At the same time there will be ample time for discussion, so that the apple growers will have upon this day a little convention of their own. On the afternoon of the following day will be found scheduled a similar conference of pear growers, discussing the particular subject of "Pear Blight." All our other important fruits are similarly provided for on various days and an effort will be made in the final program to avoid conflict of similar interests, so far as possible. The schedule on Thursday has been made of particular interest to fruit packers and shippers, as will be seen in consulting the program for that day. Special sessions have been provided for the Grange and the Farmers' Union, and such organizations as the Canners' League, Nurserymen's Association, Horticultural Journalists, commission men, realty men, fertilizer dealers, manufacturers of spray materials and apparatus, and all other interests closely connected with horticulture will be invited to attend and co-operate in the meetings. The important subject of "The Eight-Hour Labor Law" will receive much consideration, a conference extending through one entire day being devoted to this subject, during which time many able speakers will be heard. During the evening some particularly interesting speakers will be heard upon topics of general interest, and prominent men from all over the United States will be brought in for this purpose. The main object of the whole convention will be to provide practical and thoroughly up-to-date information for both new settlers and experienced growers, with plenty of time for discussions. In the final program each exercise will bear a specific title and the name of the leading speaker. Tribes. Their land has severalty and all Indian-made citizens of the Under treaty promise have been wound up. More or less plausibly urged for the various dations of the admin should not be regarded disinterested, since it expect men to commit. But few expected them this late date to ask if and more money.

On Tuesday next the governors of the most or all of these states are to meet in Denver to arrange a program for the conference and to discuss various matters of common interest and importance. The conference proper is to begin its sessions Thursday. Assistant Secretary Jones of the Interior Department, has been designated by Secretary Lane to call the gathering to order and preside over the sessions. Governor Ammons of Colorado will deliver an address of welcome and responses will be made by Governor Spry of Utah and others of the visiting executives. In addition to the governors and the delegates appointed by them the attendance at the conference will include representatives of numerous irrigation companies and commercial, industrial and development organizations in the West. President Richard W. Young and other officers and prominent members of the National Irrigation Congress also will be present. After the conference completes its organization it will divide into sections for the consideration of various subjects relating to the general problem of irrigation and land reclamation. Included among the subjects that will receive attention will be co-operation between the federal and state governments; administration and operation of the desert-land act; settlement of irrigated lands; Carey land projects; irrigation districts; crops, markets and finances, and ways and means of financing future irrigation projects. FRUIT GROWERS TO CONVENE AT DAVIS Information For New Settlers and Experienced Growers The next State Fruit Growers' convention will be held at the University Farm, Davis, California, during the first week in June. The meeting will be under the joint auspices of the State Commission of Horticulture and the Yolo County Board of Trade. By devoting an entire week to the meeting it is hoped to obviate the objection which has been raised to recent conventions, namely, that the time available has been too short for full discussion of the many interesting topics presented in the program. At this coming convention the following types or series of meetings will be presented. Consecutive lectures, to be given one each day during the week, upon some of the fundamental operations and considerations of fruit growing. For instance, as will be seen in the program there will be given each through which some particularly interesting speakers will be heard upon topics of general interest, and prominent men from all over the United States will be brought in for this purpose. The main object of the whole convention will be to provide practical and thoroughly up-to-date information for both new settlers and experienced growers, with plenty of time for discussions. In the final program each exercise will bear a specific title and the name of the leading speaker. Among these speakers will be found many of our most successful practical men and women growers, as well as experts in various lines from the State University, State Horticultural Commission, and County Horticultural Commissioners. Since more than 150 separate lectures are to be delivered, it will manifestly be impossible for one person to attend them all. It is expected that the usual railroad rates will be obtained for this convention and living expenses will be reduced to a minimum. The University Farm School will provide accommodations at $2 per day for meals and room, or $1.50 per day for meals and cot. Attention is also called to the excellent opportunities for camping at the Farm, making it possible for fruit growers to come with their families in automobiles or otherwise and camp upon the grounds during the session of the convention. A most enjoyable outing can thus be obtained, accompanied by the benefits afforded by the convention. BIDS RECEIVED FOR ROAD WORK Supervisors Consider Proposals For Three Highway Jobs Bids for the improvement of Commonwealth avenue section 2, Orange-thorpe avenue, and section 2, Buena Park road, were received and read, and taken under advisement by the supervisors at their last regular meeting. The bids were considered yesterday. The clerk was directed to advertise for one drum hoisting engine, and material for the highway commission, bids to be opened April 14, 1914, at 2 P.M. The clerk was directed to advertise for bids for the improvement of section 1, Newport Beach, and Newport avenue roads, bids to be opened April 14, 1914, at 2 P.M. Deeds for right of way for the Laguna road were received from the Irvine Company and referred to the highway commission. A reward of $300 was offered for the arrest and delivery of Pasqual Basquez to the jailor of Orange county. The clerk was directed to advertise for bids for the sale of a franchise applied for by the California Domestic Water Company, bids to be opened May 6, 1914, at 11 A.M. The board adjourned to April 7, 1914, through which some particularly interesting speakers will be heard upon topics of general interest, and prominent men from all over the United States will be brought in for this purpose. The main object of the whole convention will be to provide practical and thoroughly up-to-date information for both new settlers and experienced growers, with plenty of time for discussions.

GOOD ROADS So much is heard evidence of roads in Eurea that occasionally sort their cost is helpful indication of what will order that systems (traffic requirements) may be developed here. The road mileage 000, and the cost wages were very 663,000,000. On this system for the 233 ways in Massachusetts expenditure of over France spend annum for maintenance $120 a mile a year course, as an average rate since on the greater amount is minor roads consider minister of public wending that $50,000 provided during these years for some bit 6,000 miles of nation it is greatly needed. Turning now to road surfaces are often those in Frankfort average cost of Commission of Horticulture and the Yolo County Board of Trade. By devoting an entire week to the meeting it is hoped to obviate the objection which has been raised to recent conventions, namely, that the time available has been too short for full discussion of the many interesting topics presented in the program. At this coming convention the following types or series of meetings will be presented. Consecutive lectures, to be given one each day during the week, upon some of the fundamental operations and considerations of fruit growing. For instance, as will be seen in the program, there will be given each morning during the hour from 8 to 9, on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday, a lecture on the general subject, "Information for New Settlers." This series will be in charge of Dean Thomas Forsyth Hunt, of the College of Agriculture. At the same time there will also be going on a series of lectures on "Irrigation," under the direction of Professor B. A. Etcheverry, a series on "Insect Pests," arranged by Mr. R. S. Vale. During the hour from 9:30 to 10:30 and again from 11 to 12 other subjects will be taken up, as shown in the program. Dr. C. B. Lipman will be in charge of "Soil Handling and Fertilization," Mr. G. Harold Powell will arrange a series on "Co-operation in Horticultural Operations," and other subjects will be equally well provided for. Of particular interest will be the lecture at 11 o'clock each day on "Methods of Marketing." On Tuesday, Mr. Dargitz, of the Cured Fruit Association, will present the methods of that organization, and on the following days at the same hour representatives of the other organizations mentioned will present their methods. In the series on "Utilization of Surplus and Waste Fruit," a lecture will be given each day upon such subjects as "Vinegar Making." "Preparations of Unfermented Fruit Juices," "Home Canning," and other similar subjects. In the afternoon the program shows for each day a lecture upon "Opportunities for Women in Horticulture." At each of these exercises the speaker will be a woman who WIND UP INDIAN BUSINESS The advanced statement of the annual report of the commissioner of Indian affairs comes as a shock to those who have looked for a speedy winding up of the Indian question. Instead of winding up affairs the commissioner outlines new extensions of government activities in dealing with the Indians and asks for larger appropriations. Even the five civilized tribes work, which has been extended from year to year with promise of a speedy end, turns out to be more important than ever. The commissioner says that conditions in these tribes in Oklahoma will "greatly increase the work of the office for several years." Yet the affairs of one of these tribes, the Cherokees, have been wound up, and the only unsettled question among the Greeks is that of equalization of allotments by cash payments, the question being who will supply the cash. The Seminole problems have been settled. The segregated coal and asphalt deposits of the Choctaw and Chickasaws must somehow be disposed of, but there is no further property difficulty in the way of settlement. Clamorous attorneys who urge additional legislation affecting claimants to citizenship and extending greater rights to Mississippi Choctaws should be ignored. It has been over 20 years since the federal government started in to settle the affairs of the five civilized annum for maintenance $120 a mile a year, course, as an average mile greater amount is minor roads consider minister of public mending that $50,000 provided during these years for some bitten years for some bites it is greatly needed. Turning now to road surfaces are, on than those in France, the average cost of 27,800 miles of mainland Wales is $475 p.a. and that on the 950 roads in England the maintenance is $115 forgotten, too, that there than here. While these figures in fact will not—difficult to improve here, they may weaken to silence those who our own works and True it is that in such country appropriations lected routes have those quoted, but generally, the amoons been pitiably small English and French. ALMOND A million-dollar almondia this season T. C. Tucker, manager Almond Growers' been gathering crop week. "I believe, from the 1914 crop of nails of 1912, which read tons, valued at me said Tucker. "The prospects are per acre equal to there will be a good age this year than" "So far we have frost damage." "I look for a $1,000." ANAHEIM GAZETTE tribes. Their land has been allotted in severity and all Indians have been made citizens of the United States. Under treaty promises affairs should have been wound up eight years ago. More or less plausible reasons were urged for the various delays, although it was contended that the recommendations of the administrative officers should not be regarded as entirely disinterested, since it is unnatural to expect men to commit official suicide. But few expected the commissioner at this late date to ask for a larger force and more money. The urging of more Indian schools is a continuation of the old folly of educating Indians by themselves and then expecting them to compete with their white neighbors. The description of the prevalence of tuberculosis and sore eyes among the Indians is distressing, but it does not justify a continuation of the paternalistic attitude of the government, which has pauperized the Indians, as it would pauperize any other people subjected to it. The 300,000 Indians, which include many who could not be distinguished from Commissioner Sells himself, by their looks, own property estimated as worth $900,000,000, amounting to $3,000 for each man, woman and child. The oldest and most experienced man in the Indian service, Major James McLaughlin, has proposed the true solution: Give every Indian what is coming to him and treat him as any other citizen of the United States is treated under the general laws. And he has adduced abundant examples to prove that this way of teaching people to swim is more successful than keeping them out of the water.

Rogers the super-dreadnaught, New York, has repaired to the testing ground at Guantanamo, Cuba, and is now being put through her final paces. She will become flagship of the great Atlantic fleet. The New York, sister ship of the Texas, which is still uncompleted, has ten fourteen-inch guns, the largest on any battleship in the world, capable of hurling seven tons of explosives encased in steel a distance of fourteen miles once every minute. The monster guns are in five turrets, two forward and three aft, the turrets being so arraged that a full broadside can be fired from either side of the vessel. The secondary armament consists of twenty-one five-inch guns. Alike in other details, both the New York and Texas will each have two submerged torpedo tubes forward. Both are 573 feet long, 95½-foot beam and have normal draughts of 28.6 feet. Each has a displacement of 28,400 tons when loaded and can make 21 knots an hour. The New York, built at a Government yard, was finished four months ahead of the Texas, built at a private shipyard, officials of which say the Texas will be completed in four months. Besides Captain Rogers, her officers will be Commander George Day, executive lieutenant; Lieutenant Commander W. B. Tardy of the Brooklyn navy yard, engineer officer, and Lieutenant John H. Newton, aide to the ommander of the navy yard. GOOD ROADS ABROAD So much is heard about the excellence of roads in England and France that occasionally some consideration of their cost is helpful to a fuller appreciation of what will be necessary in order that systems of equal merit (traffic requirements being considered) may be developed here. The road mileage of France is 371,000, and the cost, at the time when wages were very, very low, was $1,663,000,000. On this basis, to secure a system for the 23,000 miles of highways in Massachusetts would require the expenditure of $100,000,000. Moreover, France spends $45,000,000 per annum for maintenance. This is about $120 a mile a year, a figure which, of course, as an average means very little, since on the main roads a much greater amount is spent, and on the minor roads considerably less. The minister of public works, too, is recommending that $50,000,000 additional be provided during the next ten or twelve years for some bituminous binder on 6,000 miles of national highways, where it is greatly needed. Turning now to England, where the road surfaces are, on the whole, better than those in France, it is found that the average cost of maintenance on the 27,800 miles of main roads in England Orange County Berry Growers' Association Have Big Crop As has been the case in the past three or four seasons the Santa Ana Produce Company will sell this year, to the Orange County Berry Growers' Association, of El Modena, all the three-quarter size berry baskets needed by the association. The local company has ordered over a carload of the baskets, 450,000 in all. They are to be shipped direct from the factory to El Modena. The Berry Growers' Association is composed of five Japanese who will have this year, 75 acres of berries. Orange county and San Diego will get practically the entire product of the El Modena strawberry fields. The greater part of the crop will be sold in this county and what surplus there is will be disposed of at San Deigo. A small portion of the berries is shipped to Pomona and Corona. Strawberries grown in the foothill section near El Modena have a splendid reputation for size and flavor, not alone among Orange county consumers but among those of San Diego as well. There are a great many of the early Klondike varieties being brought in to the local dealers. The berries are bringing the growers from $1.80 to $2 per crate. Berries will be plentiful as soon as the weather grows warmer. The Santa Ana Produce Company will have about 200,000 strawberry baskets for distribution to the small local growers not in the association. The company will also distribute in the neighborhood of 200,000 raspberry baskets during this season. GREAT INCREASE IN EXPORTS The export trade of the United States during the past ten years from 1903 to 1913 increased by approximately $1,000,000,000, whereas in the preceding thirty years, 1873 to 1903, it increased only $917,000,000, according to the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce. Comparing the 1913 figures with those ten years earlier, it is shown that raw cotton maintained its leading position in the list of exports, having gained $196,000,000, or 52 per cent, while breadstuffs fell from second position in 1903 to third in 1913, and meat and dairy products from third to fourth place; these groups having been passed by iron and steel, which gained $195,000,000, or about 200 per cent, machinery and engines being the largest factors. Mineral oils advanced $76.000,000, which was more than 100 per cent; copper manufactures,$101.000,.or 200 per cent,and wool and manufactures thereof,$52.000,000,或 about 90 per cent. Breadstuffs barely held their own in value in exports during the decade, with a gain of $3,000,000,and but for the marked advance in barley, oats and rice would have actually declined,since the exports of corn fell from 95,500,000 to 47,500,000 bushels,and those of wheat from 160,500,000 to 155,500,000.

Turning now to England, where the road surfaces are, on the whole, better than those in France, it is found that the average cost of maintenance on the 27,800 miles of main roads in England and Wales is $475 per mile per annum, and that on the 95,000 miles of rural roads in England the average cost of maintenance is $115. It should not be forgotten, too, that wages are lower there than here. While these figures should not—and in fact will not—discourage persistent effort to improve highway systems here, they may well be borne in mind to silence those who see little good in our own works and much good abroad. True it is that in some sections of this country appropriations for a few selected routes have compared well with those quoted, but taking the country generally, the amounts available have been pitifully small as compared to English and French practice. ALMOND CROP A million-dollar almond crop for California this season is the prediction of T. C. Tucker, manager of the California Almond Growers' Exchange, who has been gathering crop data for the past week. "I believe, from early reports, that the 1914 crop of nuts will exceed that of 1912, which reached a total of 3,000 tons, valued at more than $800,000," said Tucker. "The prospects are for a production per acre equal to that of 1912 and there will be a greater bearing age this year than two years ago. "So far we have not had any report of frost damage." "I look for a $1,000,000 crop." FOREST NOTES The Canadian government is using Indian fire patrolmen to protect the forests of northern Manitoba. A Pennsylvania gun company is using the waste pieces of black and Circassian walnut, left after veneer cutting, for gum stocks. Ghent, Belgium, furnishes practically all of the potted specimens of the symmetrical Araucaria, or Norfolk island pine, used as an ornamental foliage house plant, in Europe and America. The United States imports at least 250,000 of these plants in 5- or 6-inch pots each year. Arrangements have just been made for the sale of 40 million feet of timber on the Tongass national forest in Alaska. This forest is cut up by bays and inlets, some of which give an opportunity for taking the timber from the mill to the decks of ocean-going steamers. The Tongass forest is now self-supporting, its lumber product being used largely in local industries, much going into boxes for canned salmon. California state inspectors at San Francisco have found a new canker disease on chestnut trees recently imported from Japan. According to Dr. Haven Metcalf, the government's expert on such diseases, this appears to be of the same type as the chestnut blight which is ravaging the forests of the eastern United States, and it is possible that the new disease would be equally as destructive if it became established in this country.
