CALIFORNIA FRUIT GROWERS HOLD CONVENTION UNIVERSITY FARM AT DAVIS TO BE PLACE OF MEETING FOR STATE HORTICULTURISTS CONVENTION WILL CONTINUE ENTIRE WEEK BEGINNING ON MONDAY, JUNE 1 The 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 a 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 programme. 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 programme, 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 Settle." 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. E. O.Essig, and a series on "Frost," arranged by Mr. R. S. Vaile. 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 programme. 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 the other subjects will be equally well provided for. Of particular interest will be the lecture at 11 o'clock each day lent 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. CO-OPERATIVE FIRE PROTECTION Rangers Preparing For an Exceptional Season This Summer Thirty settlers living within and adjacent to the Sierra National Forest have taken steps to form a co-operative association with the object of preventing fires set for clearing land from getting beyond control. With land clearing put upon a communal basis, the Sierra rangers expect a much smaller percentage of fires than formerly to escape from control. When necessary, officers of the Sierra forest will be detailed to help the settlers and supervise the brush burning. In order to provide for exceptional or emergency fire conditions in case they occur during the coming summer, Forest Supervisor Kelley, of the Eldorado National Forest, has made advance arrangements at Auburn and Sacramento for the hiring and transportation of such fire fighters as may be needed. In case of fires occurring on either the Eldorado or Tahoe forests too big to be handled by the forest officers and local residents, from 25 to 50 men will be sent from Auburn and from 50 to 200 men from Sacramento. Mr. J. W. Morgan will act as the government agent at Auburn, and the sheriff of Sacramento county will assist at Sacramento. If serious fires occur near the line of the Southern Pacific, fire fighters will be transported by special trains; otherwise automobiles will be used. Forest officers believe that this advance preparation can be depended upon to keep the fire damage at a minimum, even under the worst conditions. IRRIGATION AT OKLAHOMA CITY Utilization of Underground Water Recommended by United States Geological Survey In a brief report just issued the United States Geological Survey calls at... 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. E. O.Essig, and a series on "Frost," arranged by Mr. R. S. Valle. 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 programme. 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 the 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, preparation of unfermented fruit juices, home canning, and other similar subjects. In the afternoon the programme shows for each day a lecture upon "Opportunities for Women in Horticulture." At each of these exercises the speaker will be a woman who has made a particular success of some practical branch of fruit growing, explaining her methods and results. Considering now the programme 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 districts, and upon various 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 full programme 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 programme for that day. Special sessions have been provided for the Grange and the Farmers' Union, and such organizations as the Canners' League, Nursery-men'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 IRRIGATION AT OKLAHOMA CITY Utilization of Underground Water Recommended by United States Geological Survey In a brief report just issued the United States Geological Survey calls attention to the feasibility of developing ground water supplies to irrigate the valley lands near Oklahoma City and recommends the installation of pumping plants in the valley of North Fork of Canadian River between Elreno and Shawnee. In the excitement incident to the phenomenal growth of Oklahoma City during the years following the opening to settlement of the Indian lands, the full development of the fertile bottom lands along the river was neglected, but lately it has been realized that these lands could be put to much higher use if they were subdivided into small tracts on which more intensive and diversified farming might be practiced. At the request of Representative D. T. Morgan and Elmer Brown, secretary of the Chamber of Commerce of Oklahoma City, the Director of the United States Geological Survey last January detailed A. T. Schwennesen, of the Survey staff, to examine the situation and report on the practicability of supplying these valley tracts with water for irrigation from underground sources. The report just published, as the result of this examination, contains a map showing the distribution of the principal water-bearing deposits between Elreno and Shawnee, sections showing the character of these deposits, a table giving the yields and other facts in regard to some of the largest and most representative wells in the valley, a table of analyses of well waters with notes on their suitability for irrigation, estimates of the quantity of water available, data on cost of pumping, and practical advice as to the developments that should be made. Water Available at Shallow Depths Water may be reached, according to the report, almost anywhere in the valley at depths of 15 to 30 feet from the surface, the water-bearing material being clean, coarse sand, which forms lenticular beds interbedded with clay and quicksand. On account of the irregular distribution of the sands some wells will not yield as freely as others, and occasionally a well may be a failure by missing the water-bearing sand entirely, but in general the chances for getting a supply in almost any part of the valley are believed to be good. Water withdrawn from the underground reservoir will be replaced by the percolation of rain water that falls on the valley surface, and by seepage from the river and its tributaries. Initial Development of Not Over 10,000 Acres Recommended Although the water-bearing beds occur over an area of about 140 square miles between Elreno and Shawnee and although officers believe that this advance preparation can be depended upon to keep the fire damage at a minimum, even under the worst conditions. EDWARD Hyatt at Sacramento contains a large number and many interesting gestions. The following give an idea of its spirit. "During the school year we set aside and exert state for new building $7,372,215.18. This over elementary schools, high schools, and Hence, the importance obtaining not alone tical results, but also architecture.

Moreover they be paid but they must over since in less than interest exceeds Worse still, in less than a school house grows out of style. The arch day is the amusement o 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 evenings some particularly interesting speakers will be heard upon the 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 programme 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 one hundred and fifty 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 excel- Initial Development of Not Over 10,000 Acres Recommended Although the water-bearing beds occur over an area of about 140 square miles between Elreno and Shawnee and although the ground-water supply is large and the local depletions during times of heavy pumping will be rapidly replenished in the rainy season, yet exhaustion of the supply is likely to take place if the irrigated tracts are too closely grouped. The Survey report recommends that at first not over 10,000 acres be put under irrigation and in no locality much more than 80 acres to the square mile, but states that after irrigation on this scale has been carried on successfully for a period of years and the ground-water level is shown not to have been greatly lowered thereby, further developments may be justified. A copy of this report, which is issued as Water-Supply Pape 345-D, may be obtained free on application to the Director, Geological Survey, Washington, D.C. An enthusiastic Canadian paper publishes the fact that in Moncton, New Brunswick, the Orangemen loan to the Catholics their silk hats to wear on St. Patrick's Day, and the Catholics return the compliment on the date of the battle of the Boyne. This indicates a keen judgment of the restraint of wild impulses. That racial tendency to hurl stones on sectarian occasions is sharply curbed when stones may hit your own silk hat. 11 FOR CONVICTION 1 FOR ACQUITTAL Herbert Dyer's Narrow Escape in Felony Charge Made by Step Daughter Eleven for conviction and one for acquittal was the way the jury in the Herbert Dyer felony case is reported to have stood when Judge West discharged the jury at 10 o'clock last Wednesday night. The case was given the jury at 5 o'clock, and after deliberating until 10 the foreman announced they were unable to agree. Judge West asked the foreman if the jury were evenly divided, and was answered in the negative. The foreman stated it was impossible for them to agree, and they were discharged. Dyer's second trial was set for June 30. He was remanded back to the county jail. Dyer stands accused of a felony charge preferred against him by his 14-year-old step daughter, Hester Butler, who is now in the detention home at the county seat. He was defended by Weisel & Dutton of this city, and Deputy District Attorneys Koepsel and Eden conducted prosecution. SCHOOL ARCHITECTURE IN CALIFORNIA Booklet Issued by State Supt. Hyatt Gives Information of Interest School Architecture in California, a helpful book for trustees and others interested in the building of school houses, is now being sent out to the superintendents and other school officers of the state by Superintendent Edward Hyatt at Sacramento. It contains a large number of illustrations and many interesting hints and suggestions. The following extracts will give an idea of its spirit: "During the school year 1913 there was set aside and expended in this state for new buildings the sum of $7,372,215.18. This was distributed over elementary schools, kindergartens, high schools, and normal schools. Hence, the importance to the state of obtaining not alone the highest practical results, but also the best designs and architecture. In building school houses, the school board should well consider what ly to become part of the great scenic coast boulevard of this county has been in the minds of all who have had anything to do with the planning of the roads of the county. The Laguna Beach people want the plans hastened so far as the coast boulevard concerns that road. With Laguna Canyon closed against traffic, probably for the entire summer, there are only two routes open for travel by vehicle. One is to go by way of Serra and along the coast from that point. The other is to go by way of Alliso Canyon, turning off at the El Toro cross-roads." CONTRACT LET FOR ORANGE'S SCHOOL Long Beach Brick Company Gets Job at $45,101 The Long Beach Brick Company was the successful bidder yesterday for the contract of constructing the new intermediate high school, to be built by the Orange grammar school district, under the $50,000 bond issue voted in February. Its bid of $45,101 was low among nine general bidders on two sets of specifications. The bids ranged from $45,101.00 to $65,553.00 on reinforced concrete construction with stucco finish, and from $50,338.00 to $70,070.00 on tapistry brick, the Long Beach Brick Company being low bidder in both instances. The specifications adopted call for a reinforced concrete building of 13 class rooms and three office rooms, finished in tan Kellerstone waterproof stucco with red-tile roof. The main entrance is to be built of old-gold brick, while brick of the same color are to be employed in the trimming of the building. The structure will be of the Italian type, with a two-story main building 148x124 and two wings 30x75, the latter being one-story and their roofs furnishing opportunity to establish outdoor class rooms. In appearance the building promises to be one of the finest in Southern California, and it is, of course, modern in every particular, providing an assembly hall and class rooms in which the convenience and health of the students are of first consideration. LAGUNA CANYON ROAD CLOSED The Laguna Canyon road is closed and will remain closed probably all summer. Travel to Laguna Beach will Edward Hyatt at Sacramento. It contains a large number of illustrations and many interesting hints and suggestions. The following extracts will give an idea of its spirit: "During the school year 1913 there was set aside and expended in this state for new buildings the sum of $7,372,215.18. This was distributed over elementary schools, kindergartens, high schools, and normal schools. Hence, the importance to the state of obtaining not alone the highest practical results, but also the best designs and architecture. In building school houses, the school board should well consider what it owes to the community in the way of protection from fire and panic. The school board is responsible for seeing that all buildings are panic proof, all new buildings fire proof and all old buildings fire retarding. The terrible Collinwood fire in 1908 burned 173 children and two teachers to death—a terrible, a heart-rending tragedy. How would you feel if you were the trustees in like case? More strongly every year is California school architecture marked by adaptations of the outdoor idea. Probably the ultimate plan will be practically an outdoor school house, because the state is peculiarly fitted for it. If it is better for the health and growth of the children and costs less money to build, why should it not become the dominant feature of our architecture? "Tis true that we can not spend too much money upon our children. Undeniably money spent upon the better training of its young people is a good investment for any municipality, one that returns to the community many times and in many ways. Yet this should not make an occasion for prodigality or for unwise expenditures. It is quite possible to spend great sums that do not really benefit the children, that the children do not need. It is easy to spend the money that some one else must pay. It is such a simple matter to vote a hundred thousand dollars in bonds payable twenty or thirty years hence that thrifty people should take warning and should look somewhat forward into the future. These bonds must be paid. Moreover, they must not only be paid, but they must be paid twice over, since in less than twenty years the interest exceeds the principal. Worse still, in less than twenty years a school house grows old, inadequate, out of style. The architecture of today is the amusement of tomorrow."

COOK, State Commissioner of Horticulture. PETITION FOR NEW ROAD About forty residents of Laguna Beach have petitioned the board of supervisors to build a road along the coast between Laguna Beach and Corona Del Mar. The petition states that since Laguna Canyon has been closed on account of the good roads work now being done in it, Laguna Beach is practically bottled up, and its business has been seriously crippled. It declared that the county should take immediate steps to open a road along the coast, that this road could be built at no great expense, and that it should be opened up regardless of the fact that there is at present an unusual, crying need for it. That this proposed road is eventual- DEFICIT FIRST YEAR The condition of the United States Treasury at the beginning of business Thursday was: Net balance in general fund, $71,885,867. Total receipts previous day, $2,259,086. Total payments previous day, $2,311,127. The deficit this fiscal year is $40,979,529 against a surplus of $3,645,213 last year, exclusive of public debt and Panama Canal transactions. This is a repetition of history made during the four years following the disastrous election in November, 1892.
