PLANT INDUSTRY EXPERIMENTS AID GROWERS WHY SOME OFFICERS OF PLANT INDUSTRY BUREAU ARE VALUABLE FRUIT GROWERS AND GARDENERS REAP MUCH BENEFIT FROM THE WORK It is the object of the office of foreign seed and plant introduction to experiment with seeds, plants, and fruits from foreign countries for the purpose of discovering such as might be economically valuable to the fruit growers, gardeners, and other agriculturists of this country. During the 16 years that this office has been in existence over 34,000 introductions have been scattered over the United States. Many of these, of course, have been failures owing to some unforeseen condition of soil or climate which hindered the proper development of the new plant. Others, however, have been great successes. Among the fruits and vegetables that promise much, although they have only been recently introduced here, are the mango, the date palm, the Oriental persimmon, the avocado (commonly known as the alligator pear), the papaya, the Chinese jujube, and the dasheen. The mango industry has already attained some degree of development in Florida. Last year 300 dozen of one variety were sold at $3 per dozen. There are over 100 varieties of dates now growing in the government gardens in California and Arizona, from which the suckers are being distributed to prospective planters. When the date plantations of the Far West come into full bearing, as they should in about 10 years, a superior date, now high tide, and make them available for the growing needs of the farm. In addition to its experimental farm at Arlington the department has green-houses on its grounds in Washington where fruits and flowers are grown for purposes of experiment. These are in charge of a separate office of the Bureau of Plant Industry, which also has charge of the care and ornamentation of the grounds surrounding the department's buildings. Many practical problems are worked out in the green-houses by scientists who are seeking cures for certain plant diseases or endeavoring to produce new and better strains of commercially valuable plants. Many interesting and unusual plants and trees are grown both in the green-houses and on the grounds outside. One of the original navel orange trees brought from South America from which the California industry developed may still be seen in one of the green-houses. There are collections of other rare plants, including a great variety of unusual cacti, a vine 459 feet long, and strange hybrids made by growing one plant on the root of another. All of these may be seen by the visitor. INSPECTION TOUR BY OFFICIALS Commissioner Darlington and Engineer Clark Looking After Road State Highway Commissioner Darlington and Division Engineer Clark passed through on their way to go over the state highway route between Santa Ana and the south county line. The special purpose of their visit is to inspect damage done by rains this winter. When the first survey was made County Surveyor McBride recommended to the state engineers that the road be put upon the mesa, going upon it at the Buchheim lease on the Forster ranch, rather than put it along the shore. The state officials will look over the ground thoroughly. Darlington stated that the state commission is insisting on a deed across the Irvine ranch before starting work. From the best that could be learned The mango industry has already attained some degree of development in Florida. Last year 300 dozen of one variety were sold at $3 per dozen. There are over 100 varieties of dates now growing in the government gardens in California and Arizona, from which the suckers are being distributed to prospective planters. When the date plantations of the Far West come into full bearing, as they should in about 10 years, a superior date, now unknown on our markets, will probably find its way to the tables of the poor as well as of the rich. Only recently the experts of this office have discovered that in Japan an artificial method is employed of removing objectionable pucker which our native varieties of persimmons possess. Now, the office is working out methods of improving the Oriental persimmon. It has also introduced a seedless and puckerless persimmon from China. A new Chinese peach stock has recently been introduced by this office which has proven harder than the old seedling stocks, and therefore can be grown farther north. The root of this peach is the important part, as the fruit is not edible, but varieties of our own peaches are being successfully worked upon the hardier Chinese root. This is now being tried out in Iowa. The office is preparing to distribute this year about 20,000 roots to nurserymen and fruit growers who will work other varieties of peaches on these roots and set them in their orchards. The introductions of this office are not confined to fruits and vegetables. New poplars, willows, and other shade trees, which 20 years ago were unknown in this country, now beautify our avenues as a result of its work. After several unsuccessful attempts the timber bamboo of the Orient is being introduced in the Southern States. Already there are small groves in Louisiana, California, Texas, and Georgia. There is no plant in the world that can be put to so many uses as the bamboo. This office sends out agricultural explorers to various parts of the world as occasion requires for new fruits and plants. It keeps in touch with botanists, scientific institutions, and commercial firms all over the world. It is now in a position to secure quickly from any part of the globe any plant on which it may desire to experiment. While considerable outlay is sometimes necessary to make new introductions, practical results to the fruit grower, gardener, and farmer more than justify expenses. One of the most striking introductions of fruit ever made by our department of agriculture was that of the seedless orange. The value of this crop in California is now over $10,000,000 every year. Millions of California navel orange trees are the descendants of the few that were introduced by the department in the seventies. This was before the establishment of the special office, which has now systematized the work and developed it into one of the important features of the department. STOP-OVER ALLOWED IN FRUIT SHIPPING Railroads Will Permit One Stop on Payment of Extra Freight One of the most important developments of the week, one which will have a large bearing upon the marketing of California fruit, was the arrangement secured by the California Fruit Distributors whereby all transcontinental roads will allow one stoppage of carload lots of fruit in transit. This means an additional market for 700 or 800 cars of fruit this year. The company has also arranged for the storage of grapes preserved in sawdust at any point that may be desired by the shipper. Each of these privileges has been secured by the payment of 5 cents per hundred additional charge. The privilege which has been secured of stopping carloads of fruit in transit to Eastern points and unloading a portion at any point that may be designated is one that has been long desired by the fruit shippers, and is of large importance. The California Fruit Distributors have imported the railroad heads for this privilege, but until a recent trip of Harry Adams, traffic manager, to San Francisco, it had been impossible to secure a definite agreement of the sort. SUES TO RECOVER OIL LAND A fight for possession of oil lands worth hundreds of thousands of dollars has been started in the superior court at San Bernardino by August Bila of Fullerton. The suit is over the possession of 440 acres near the Orange-San Bernardino county boundary line, and on which Bila, about 13 years ago, secured an option at $45 an acre, and which still stands of record. Bila went to Mexico, and spent seven years there, and has only recently realized the value of the holdings to which he claims the right to purchase. Attorney M. O. Graves of Los Angeles represents Bila in the suit, which is against F. H. Rowley and others of Los Angeles. When the first survey was made County Surveyor McBride recommended to the state engineers that the road be put upon the mesa, going upon it at the Buchheim lease on the Forster ranch, rather than put it along the shore. The state officials will look over the ground thoroughly. Darlington stated that the state commission is insisting on a deed across the Irvine ranch before starting work. From the best that could be learned the commission wants a deed without the conditions stipulated by the Irvine company, which is willing to give a deed but wants to reserve the right to put pipe lines and power lines across it without having to go to Sacramento or elsewhere to get permits. THE HILL-SELECTION MARKING THE MOST PROVEN DURING THE GROWING SEASON: VESTING TIME SAVE ONLY IF GIVEN GREATEST PROMISE. Eny of each hill separated same data as outlined unit. Plant on the tuber following season. For safety a definite number of more—should be planted. From this methods given in the trial should be followed. WALNUT GROWERS A number of walnut sections have organized ad edited the Anaheim Walnut Citation, articles of which filed with the county clear articles, the association of crop through or sell to Walnut Growers' Association stockholder is entitled to vote, and has one vote for walnuts handled by the Membership fee is $1. The directors are Sam J. B. Neff, L. C. Deming James Owens, P. R. Doe E. Holcomb. SUIT AGAINST LONG Claims aggregating $30 put in to the City of Los William J. Richardson o himself and his two men who by the pier disaster 1913, lost Mrs. Elizabeth of William J. and father children, John W., aged 13. The claims will be pre beach city by Attorney Rutan of Santa Ana. Filed in the superior court a petition for the ap William J. Richardson and the minors. This petition children upon which ductions, practical results to the fruit grower, gardener, and farmer more than justify expenses. One of the most striking introductions of fruit ever made by our department of agriculture was that of the seedless orange. The value of this crop in California is now over $10,000,000 every year. Millions of California navel orange trees are the descendants of the few that were introduced by the department in the seventies. This was before the establishment of the special office, which has now systematized the work and developed it into one of the important features of the department. Arlington Farm is the field laboratory of the department of agriculture, and the results of the work done there are of particular importance to the fruit grower and gardener. Here the scientists of the Bureau of Plant Industry grow fruits, vegetables, drug and forage crops for their experiments, and breed and test plants. The farm was originally a part of the estate of George Washington Park Custis, the adopted son of George Washington, and later the home of Robert E. Lee. A large collection of fruit trees is maintained in connection with the pomological work. A range of greenhouses is devoted to the problems of the florist and grower of vegetables under glass. A collection of shrubs and trees is arranged about the grounds surrounding the buildings so as to produce a pleasing landscape effect. The place is thoroughly equipped with modern tools and farm machinery so that the various types of field experiments conducted may be carried on to advantage. In addition to ample barns and tool sheds, the place has a drug laboratory, dry kilns, and a refrigerating plant. It is easily reached by trolley from the main laboratories of the department in Washington and for that reason forms a most valuable supplement to the research work of the department. The available area of about 300 acres has been quite outgrown by the many demands of the various offices and laboratories but fortunately the dredging operations for deepening the channel of the Potomac River will raise the level of some 75 or 80 acres, which have heretofore been flooded at court at San Bernardino by August Bila of Fullerton. The suit is over the possession of 440 acres near the Orange-San Bernardino county boundary line, and on which Bila, about 13 years ago, secured an option at $45 an acre, and which still stands of record. Bila went to Mexico, and spent seven years there, and has only recently realized the value of the holdings to which he claims the right to purchase. Attorney M. O. Graves of Los Angeles represents Billa in the suit, which is against F. H. Rowley and others of Los Angeles. OLIVES IN IMPERIAL It begins to look as if the planting and growing of olives will soon occupy the minds of many of the valley people in an extensive way. Olives have always proven themselves specially adapted to the soil and climate of the Imperial Valley, and there are several fine groves scattered here and there over it, but not until the present time have any people given serious consideration to them as an industry. Nowhere in the country do olives thrive better nor mature earlier nor more perfectly than in the Imperial Valley. The olive expect of Libby, McNeil & Libby, packers of Chicago, has for several days been examining the olive trees in the valley that are now bearing. He is responsible for the statement that the trees here that he has seen, were better than any he had seen in his extensive travels in Europe, or anywhere else in the United States, so far as he was aware, for their age. Clarence Boone and I. L. Wilson have just finished planting a forty-acre tract to olives just north of Imperial. The entire acreage was planted without the loss of a single tree. The owners of this tract expect that in three years' time these trees will all be self-supporting and that the land on which they are planted will be then worth $1,000 per acre. The total registration in Orange county up to April 11 is 14,489, as follows: Republican, 5,929; Progressive, 2,379; Democratic, 3,092; Prohibition, 1,103; Socialist, 604; Declines, 1,312; Independent, 69; Federation, 1. Claims aggregating $300 put in to the City of LA William J. Richardson o himself and his two men who by the pier disaster 1913, lost Mrs. Elizabeth B. William J., and father children, John W., aged 13. The claims will be pre- beach city by Attorney Rutan of Santa Ana. Filed in the superior court a petition for the ap William J. Richardson and the minors. This petitionthe children upon which is asked, is not known, but their claim against Long death of their mother. Mr. and Mrs. Richardson daughter, Rose, were among residents of Orange attending the celebration during which the pier many were killed and injured. Mrs. Richardson was extricated from the manity that was plungedthe pit. Rose, the little some severe injuries to her ardson did not fall into.

HOW TO PRODUGE GOOD SEED SPUDS Tuber-Unit and Hill Selection Methods the Best This is the season of the year when the farmer should pay particular attention to seed potatoes, and the use of high-grade seed would increase the returns from the potato crop of the country by many millions of dollars. A conservative estimate of the increase that might be expected from the use of high-grade seed is cetrainly not less than 10 per cent. Such an increase based on the average production of the past five years would amount to over 34,000,000 bushels, having an approximate value of $21,000,000. Of the many causes which operate to produce a low average potato yield in this country, pure seed is an important one. The American potato grower pays too little attention to his seed potatoes. The European growers, especially those of Great Britain and Germany, pay very strict attention to the quality and quantity of the seed they use. By far the simplest and most promising means of developing high-grade seed potatoes is that of the tuber-unit and hill-selection methods. The former consists in selecting from the seed bin before planting time a considerable number of the most perfectly shaped tubers of from 6 to 8 ounces in weight. When planted these tubers are quartered, as dropped, into four as nearly equal parts as possible. This is done by splitting the bud-eye cluster in each direction from seed to stem end of the tuber. The four pieces of each tuber are dropped consecutively in the row, at a distance of from 10 to 12 inches apart in the furrow. All tubers showing discoloration of the flesh or other evidence of disease should be rejected. By allowing an additional space between each set of fours, the four plants from each tuber are definitely isolated from adjoining ones, and the grower can readily observe any variation in vigor and uniformity between the units planted. IN AND ABOUT COUNTY Highway Accepted The county highway commissioners have accepted the Huntington Beach-Santa Ana road, both sections, on which the contractors were Chamberlin and Rogers Brothers. The acceptance of this road was delayed for several months by the discovery of bad spots in each section, which the contractors were compelled to tear out and relay. The entire job, having been completed to the satisfaction of the commission, was accepted. Bids on the mile of paved road to be built on East Chapman avenue through El Modena were called for yesterday by the supervisors, to be opened April 21. Supervisor Struck hopes to have the road completed some time during June. The money for the road comes out of the current expense fund of the county and not out of the highway bond fund. The work is the first section of the improvement of the county park road, which it is planned to build as fast as funds are available. The supervisors left last evening for San Diego by automobile, where the supervisors of Southern California are today guests of the exposition committee. Finish on Navels The Orange County Fruit Exchange expects to finish shipping navels last week. More carloads of oranges and lemons have been shipped so far this year than during the corresponding time last year and year before last. Valencias will begin coming in about the middle of May. The crop of this variety of oranges will be excellent this year. Fruit is of good size and the absence of frosts and hot weather combined to keep the Valencia in good condition. There are enough navels left in California to supply the demand during April and May. The March prices were not up to the usual standard this season. This was owing to the fact that there were large supplies of Florida and California oranges in the Eastern markets. Triplets at Tustin Several gentlemen in Tustin last week constituted themselves a committee to purchase a baby buggy for Otto Summers' triplets. By some means or other E.D. Burge heard of wielding a wooden stake, squared off for an impromptu duel Monday morning at 3:30 o'clock at Dyer, south of Santa Ana. The man with the pick-handle won for Gebarra is dead with a broken skull. The murderer escaped and has not been found. He came from Los Angeles a week ago. Gebarra worked in the beets. The fight followed a carousal and the cause of anger is unknown. This is the first Mexican killed by a Mexican in this county for about 18 months. ORGANIZATION OF LOS ALAMITOS COMMERCIAL CLUB Los Alamitos, located in the north-west corner of Orange county, being in one of the richest sections of the country and for a long time appearing to be lying dormant, has at last awakened to its possibilities. For some days active work has been in progress looking toward a "get-to-gether" organization of the business men of the community. As a result the Commercial Club of Los Alamitos was organized Thursday evening, at headquarters established on Main street, with 60 members as a start-off and a number of others in prospect. The following officers and directors were duly elected: Hugh T. O'Connor, president; J. Herbert Mills, vice-president; Paul S. Elliott, secretary and treasurer; Ernest C. Hamilton, Elmer O. Hooker, Fred K. Edwards, Karl V. Bennis, directors. While primarily the object of the club will be social and for the promotion of good-fellowship, it is anticipated that, as the name chosen indicates, questions vital to the commercial and business welfare of the wide area as represented by the membership of the club in both Orange and Los Angeles counties, will be given due consideration to the mutual benefit of all those interested. HEAVY MINERAL WASTE In mineral waste, the national loss is estimated to be not less than $1,000,000 a day. This is one of many startling statements contained in the annual report of the Bureau of Mines. Discussing mineral losses, the report says: "With the limited facilities available, the work of the Bureau of Mines during 1913 in stopping a part of the waste tered, as dropped, into four as nearly equal parts as possible. This is done by splitting the bud-eye cluster in each direction from seed to stem end of the tuber. The four pieces of each tuber are dropped consecutively in the row, at a distance of 10 to 12 inches apart in the furrow. All tubers showing discoloration of the flesh or other evidence of disease should be rejected. By allowing an additional space between each set of fours, the four plants from each tuber are definitely isolated from adjoining ones, and the grower can readily observe any variation in vigor and uniformity between the units planted. This method also enables him to detect any mixtures that may occur in the variety. At digging time the product of each unit is separately harvested and a further selection made from the marked units of all those which most nearly approach the size, shape, and smoothness desired. The selected tubers should be numbered with both field and unit numbers and separately placed in small sacks. From each of the units retained 10 of the best tubers should be selected for the next season's planting. It is desirable to maintain the study of each selection on the tuber-unit basis the following season, because it permits a more accurate comparison of the behavior of each. The hill-selection method consists in marking the most promising plants during the growing season. At harvesting time save only those which give greatest promise. Keep the progeny of each hill separate, and take the same data as outlined for the tuber unit. Plant on the tuber-unit basis the following season. For sake of uniformity a definite number of tubers—five or more—should be planted from each hill selected. From this point on the methods given in the tuber-unit work should be followed. WALNUT GROWERS ORGANIZE A number of walnut growers of this section have organized and incorporated the Anaheim Walnut Growers' Association, articles of which have been filed with the county clerk. Under the articles, the association can market its crop through or sell to the California Walnut Growers' Association. Each stockholder is entitled to at least one vote, and has one vote for each ton of walnuts handled by the association. Membership fee is $1. The directors are Samuel Kraemer, J. B. Neff, L. C. Deming, J. J. Dwyer, James Owens, P. R. Donahoe and C. E. Holcomb. SUIT AGAINST LONG BEACH Claims aggregating $30,000 are to be put in to the City of Long Beach by William J. Richardson of Orange for himself and his two minor children, who by the pier disaster of May 24, 1913, lost Mrs. Elizabeth Hannah, wife of William J. and father of the two children, John W., aged 16, and Rose Alice, aged 13. The claims will be presented to the beach city by Attorneys Williams & Rutan of Santa Ana. The attorneys filed in the superior court of this county a petition for the appointment of William J. Richardson as guardian of the minors. This petition states that the children upon which guardianship is taken, are not required to attend school unless they are enrolled in a public school. Triplets at Tustin Several gentlemen in Tustin last week constituted themselves a committee to purchase a baby buggy for Otto Summers’ triplets. By some means or other E. D. Burge heard of the scheme and without saying a word took the car to Los Angeles, purchased a buggy for three babies, took it out and delivered it himself. The committee acknowledge themselves outwitted. Tustin’s New School A design in the Lombardic style of architecture is the one finally decided upon by the school trustees of Tustin for the new $40,000 school structure. The firm of Elwing and Tedford is now working on the plans, which call for exterior walls of granite-faced brick and a red tile roof. The wings of the building will have flat roofs and these will be used for out-door class rooms. Main auditorium and class rooms will combine to give a seating capacity of 700. A feature will be a kindergarten, fresh air class room. One of the most pleasing features of the school will be that both the front and back views of the structure will be equally attractive to passersby. A ground space of 192 by 150 feet will be occupied by the school when completed. Yields 4,000,000 Feet Daily Gas from the Standard's famous well No. 7 on the Emery lease is now being used as fuel under the boilers of the Standard's immense refining plant at El Segundo. When the famous well was brought in the gas was allowed to escape into the open air, and was burned, making a light to the southwest of this city that was several times mistaken for flaming buildings. With crews working day and night the Standard completed a pipe line to El Segundo, and as quickly as possible, the great output is put through a compressor, and sent to the refining plant. The compressor is now taking care of 4,000,000 cubic feet or gas daily, taking from this about 15 barrels of gasoline and light distillate, and forcing the dry gas to the big boilers at El Segundo. The Standard No. 7 is now flowing about 6,200 barrels of oil per day. With its immense production of gas, which is now wholly conserved, and its great record as an oil producer, this well easily maintains its rank as the most valuable south of the Tehachepi. New Wells at Brea The Fullerton Oil Company has brought in well No. 4 in Brea Canyon with a production of about 250 barrels daily of 22 gravity oil. The Brea Canyon Oil Company's well No. 12a, believed to be in the Birch sand, is now producing about 500 barrels of oil a day. The deepest well in Brea Canyon is now being drilled by the Birch Oil Company at about 4,200 feet. It is in the oil sand. HEAVY MINERAL WASTE In mineral waste, the national loss is estimated to be not less than $1,000,000 a day. This is one of many startling statements contained in the annual report of the Bureau of Mines. Discussing mineral losses, the report says: "With the limited facilities available, the work of the Bureau of Mines during 1913 in stopping a part of the waste of natural gas and oil in one state alone (Oklahoma) has saved to the country a quantity of our highest grade fuel oil having a value to the people of more than $10,000,000. With increased facilities and engineers for carrying on such work it is believed that the saving of natural gas and oil during this same year would have been twice as great. The saving that can be made during 1914, if ample funds be provided, is far greater than the cost of extending the work. The delay is all the more serious for the reason that this waste means a permanent national loss. The waste of millions of cubic feet of gas also was stopped." AMAHEIM LAUNDRY CO.

Gives Health and Vigor to Whole Flock Claims aggregating $30,000 are to be put in to the City of Long Beach by William J. Richardson of Orange for himself and his two minor children, who by the pier disaster of May 24, 1913, lost Mrs. Elizabeth Hannah, wife of William J. and father of the two children, John W., aged 16, and Rose Alice, aged 13. The claims will be presented to the beach city by Attorneys Williams & Rutan of Santa Ana. The attorneys filed in the superior court of this county a petition for the appointment of William J. Richardson as guardian of the minors. This petition states that the children, upon which guardianship is asked, is not known, but consists of their claim against Long Beach for the death of their mother. Mr. and Mrs. Richardson and their daughter, Rose, were among a number of residents of Orange who were attending the celebration at Long Beach, during which the pier collapsed and many were killed and injured. Mrs. Richardson was dead when she was extricated from the mass of humanity that was plunged down into the pit. Rose, the little girl, received some severe injuries to one leg. Richardson did not fall into the pit. SEARCH FOR MISSING BOY In a final effort to find Leonard F. Smith, the young Whittier musician, who disappeared mysteriously April 3, hundreds of men and boys spent Easter Sunday scouring the hills near that city. Some of these searching parties went early in the day, but most of them started early in the afternoon. The search was made on an appeal from the distracted parents, Mr. and Mrs. Landrum Smith, and the local peace officials. Sheriff Robert Way conducted the search. There is some evidence leading to the belief Smith was seen here going toward the hills on Saturday, April 4, and it was thought that his body might be found in some secluded canyon. However, the day's search revealed nothing. Following out another clew from Verdugo, Richard Smith, brother of the missing man, and a large party searched that vicinity. Unless there are further clews the search will likely not be further prosecuted. NEW Wells at Brea The Fullerton Oil Company has brought in well No. 4 in Brea Canyon with a production of about 250 barrels daily of 22 gravity oil. The Brea Canyon Oil Company's well No. 12a, believed to be in the Birch sand, is now producing about 500 barrels of oil a day. The deepest well in Brea Canyon is now being drilled by the Birch Oil Company at about 4,200 feet. It is in the oil sand. The St. Helena Oil Company expects to bring in well No. 2 on the Anaheim Union Water Company's lease within a few days at a depth of a little over 3,000 feet. The well is now down in 150 feet of oil sand. The company has a well down 1,600 feet on the George Johnson place and has also commenced another new well on the same lease. Huntington Beach Is Paving Frank Oswald, of Los Angeles, was the lowest bidder for the paving of Seventeenth and other streets and was awarded the contract at a meeting of the city trustees. The bid totaled $24,570. The streets to be paved will connect with the boulevard from Santa Ana, which is already complete to the city limits. The pavement is of concrete with an oiled macadam wearing surface, the most durable and satisfactory kind of pavement so far devised in California. The contractor promised to have his men and materials on hand at once and work will be completed before the summer is over. The Mercereau Bridge Company was also ordered to do some bulkheading at the land end of the new pier. The Ninth Street Improvement Association definitely decided on the paving of Ninth street from Ocean avenue to Olive. They requested the city trustees to have the street paved with concrete and asphalt surface, and to have bids taken immediately in order that the work may be completed on July 4th.
