Fertilization is of paramount interest to the citrus industry, and the shortage of potash in this country is a matter fraught with great concern. The kelp beds of the Pacific contain a solution to the question. Professor John S. Burd is head of the division of agricultural chemistry, of the college of agriculture and director of the bureau of fertilizers control, conducting the experiments, still in process, of which the kelp discovery is the first achievement. He speaks in high terms of dried kelp as a means of increasing soil fertility, life says: "The agricultural value per unit of the potash contained in dried and ground kelp must be considered to be superior to that of most of the commercial potash salts and but little inferior to those of the highest potash content. "About one-half million tons of kanit are used in this country annually for fertilizing, to say nothing of other grades of potassium salts containing sodium and chlorine. In so far as its sodium and chlorine con- in the fact that the kelp fields are virtually inexhaustible. The kelp plant is perhaps the most hardy and extensive of any that grows in the sea. It resembles in size a tree, the root attaching to the bed of the ocean and the tendrils and branches reaching the surface/ in some cases at long distances. Bulbous protuberances on each plant are filled with air and float the fibers and leaves as on buoys. To obtain kelp for manufacture into fertilizer, it is not necessary, not even desirable, to uproot the plant. The top may be taken, to a depth of perhaps 12 feet, leaving the stock intact. This will spring again, and year after year the kelp fields may be actually harvested. "The giant kelps," Professor Burd explains, "contains potassium, iodine and nitrogen in amounts which will in all possibility justify commercial recovery." "The procedure which would seem to offer commercial opportunity is the drying and grinding of the kelp and selling it as such. In view of all existing information it seems fair to assign a commercial value to the constituents of kelp of about $3 per unit close up these supplies and the city was obeying resolutions, according reality there is only can be classed as a city other three have road's warehouses. The city attorney since they have been ill, the same are to lie highways and less easy to have them property. Trustee Stark made one of these so-called fully be classed as in that the three used only for people access to the railway forms by traversing panys tracks within "Why should the c pense of closing up in reality exist?"

"About one-half million tons of kanit are used in this country annually for fertilizing, to say nothing of other grades of potassium salts containing sodium and chlorine. In so far as its sodium and chlorine content is concerned, dried and ground kelp is superior in agricultural value to the potassium salt which is most largely used in this country." Kelp or giant seaweed which is so abundant off the California shores has been in fact under an investigation for a few years as a potential source of potash. But no practicable method of extracting the potash and salts was known. The first announcement of this theory was made by the United States department of agriculture at Washington, D.C., two or three years ago. The investigations, however, were conducted by the faculty of the university of California for the government. W.A. Setchell, professor of botany, made the first inquiries and he has worked with Professor Burd in the present studies. Others who have helped Burd with the problem have been Professor Frank M. McFarland of Stanford University; Dr. W.W.McKay of the United States marine hospital service at San Diego, and G.R. Stewart, D.R. Hoagland, P.L.Hibbard and W.H.Dort of the state university. Their investigations have proved conclusively the usefulness of kelp as a fertilizer, a discovery the economic value of which to the nation is estimated at several million dollars annually. This value gains in permanency, it is noted by the investigators "The giant kelps, Professor Burd explains, "contains potassium, iodine and nitrogen in amounts which will in all possibility justify commercial recovery. "The procedure which would seem to offer commercial opportunity is the drying and grinding of the kelp and selling it as such. In view of all existing information it seems fair to assign a commercial value to the constituents of kelp of about $3 per unit for nitrogen and 75 cents per unit for potash. The commercial value of air-dried kelp, then, should approximate $12 per ton and justify additional charges for freight at least equal to transportation charges on kainit. requires that approximately 6.2 tons of fresh kelp to be harvested to furnish one ton of kelp worth approximately $12. Where this can be done at a profit the utilization of kelp will be a commercial success." The kelp plants, Professor Burd has ascertained definitely, are of value for nitrogen. This element is one of the most essential to agriculture. Likewise, the singular plant is rich in materials which provide humus—that substance in soil found in rich loam, and produced usually only after years by decayed leaves. PETITION TO PROBATE A petition for the probating of the last will and testament of Hermann Ludwig has been filed. Testator died in the city of Fullerton February 4th, and left property and real estate to the value of $700. Besides this property, he left money in the bank to a limited amount, a note of hand for $126, and bills receivable to the amount of about $20.

A communication was received from the state board of health, relative to sanitary measures and recommending adequate compensation for health officers. At present no salary is allowed these guardians of the public health which the state board considers unfair. The communication was placed on file. A communication was received from the board of trustees of Sonoma relative to pending legislation in regard to changes proposed in the liquor traffic, and the same was placed on file. Resolutions Nos. 117, 118, 119 and 120 were adopted. They relate to the closing up of the four streets, which are supposed to exist, within the station reservation of the Southern Pacific railroad company at Loara. The railroad company has decided to close up these supposed-to-be streets, and the city was obliged to adopt the resolutions, according to law. In reality there is only one of these that can be classed as a street, it is said, as the other three have been used solely as passageways leading to the railroad's warehouses. The city attorney maintains that since they have been used by the public, the same are to be classed as public highways and legal action is necessary to have them revert to private Edgar J.

John Miller 2.50 A.Nargel 4.15 IN AND ABOUT COUNTY. To Keep Roads in Good Repair. An informal conference was recently held between the supervisors of Orange county and some of the supervisors of San Diego county. Supervisors Swallow, Good, Smith and Weatfall were the San Diego officials. With the party was Hugh J.Baldwin, manager of the school pictures, which are to be exhibited over the country and to which the board of supervisors of this county already have voted $60 towards maintaining. This party went over the route from San Diego to Los Angles by what is known as the inner route. They took up the subject of doing something with the road to San Diego and made a strong plea to have it put in good shape on account of the great amount of travel which is anticipated during the continuance of the fair in the southern city. The supervisors promised the San Diego people that they would do all they could to have the roads through this county between here and San Diego put in good repair. Bitten by Mad Dog. George O.Cook, a San Joaquin rancher, and his 3-year-old son, Jack and his two nephews, Floyd and Arches Bercaw, aged 8 and 10, have been bitten by a dog declared to have been suffering from rabies at the time the wounds were inflicted. Cook owned the dog. A short time ago the animal was bitten during the night by some other animal, whether by a coyote or a dog is not known. Shortly thereafter the canine became ill, and a veterinary surgeon was consulted.The surgeon said the dog had the distemper.Later, however, the dog became more violent, and within a short time the two sons of George Bercaw; close up these supposed-to-be streets, and the city was obliged to adopt the resolutions, according to law. In reality there is only one of these that can be classed as a street, it is said, as the other three have been used solely as passageways leading to the railroad's warehouses. The city attorney maintains that since they have been used by the public, the same are to be classed as publi highways and legal action is necessary to have them revert to private property. Trustee Stark maintained that only one of these so-called roads can rightfully be classed as a public highway, in that the three others have been used only for people desiring to gain access to the railway company's platforms by traversing along the company's tracks within their reservation. "Why should the city go to the expense of closing up 'roads' that do not in reality exist?" Mr. Stark asked. City Attorney Ames argues, however, that since the streets have been used for upwards of five years the same became public highways and each one requires a resolution to knock it out. When City Attorney Ames asked Engineer Stewart to prepare a plat of the "streets" within this railroad reservation, the latter official was of the opinion that four streets existed therein, that is, he considered the "avenues" leading to the company's depot and warehouse were designated as streets, and so prepared his map showing their location. On the strength of Engineer Stewart's map the city attorney prepared the resolutions providing for the reversion of the streets to private property. Some of the city trustees take issue with the attorney and engineer upon these street designations and question the propriety of using city funds to cause these so-called streets to revert to private property, when it should be up to the railroad company to act in the premises. H. P. Noll was granted permission to move a frame building to the corner of Olive and Sycamore streets. Supt. R. J. McFadden and Secretary W. T. Wallip of the Anaheim Union Water Company appeared as a committee to confer with the board relative to three carloads of road oil purchased.

M. McClintock of Santa Ana drove to his death last Thursday. In his automobile he approached the crossing of the Pacific Electric on the Santa Ana-Huntington Beach line at Greenville and gave no heed to the warning whistle of an approaching express car. Car and automobile crashed and the automobile, a mass of wreckage, was hurled seventy-five feet down the tracks. McClintock, who was riding alone, was thrown nearly as far. His neck was broken and his skull crushed. McClintock was 65 years of age. He had ranched for 15 years at Fairview, southwest of Santa Ana, but recently moved into town. He was on his way home from his ranch, about dark, when the accident occurred. A wife and four sons, two of them well known lowlands, ranchers, are left to mourn his death. The crossing where McClintock met his death is the same on which Jacob Manderscheid, a wealthy Santa Ana man, was killed about a year ago. Coroner T. A. Winbligler held an in- Narrowly Escaped Cremation. Lying on his back under an automobile in a barn at Santa Ana, Henry Lockett had a narrow escape from being seriously burned Saturday, when the machine caught fire. Lockett was drawing off some gasoline from the tank in the car when suddenly the liquid burst into flame, completely developing the auto. By quick action, Lockett, who was alone, succeeded in backing the car out of the barn, thus saving the structure. Damage to the extent of about $125 is estimated by Lockett to have been done the machine. The windshield was cracked, the upholstery totally destroyed and the sides of the car seriously blistered. The car is the property of Lockett's mother, Mrs. J. B. Lockett, 1010 N.Broadway, Santa Ana. An alarm of fire was turned in at 4:10. A stream of water from a garden hose was sufficient to extinguish the flames. Lockett thinks that the gasoline became ignited when he accidentally rolled over onto a match, several of which dropped out of his pocket as he was under the car. The automobile was uninsured.

T. Wallip of the Anaheim Union Water Company appeared as a committee to confer with the board relative to three carloads of road oil purchased. It is claimed that considerable water exists in the first two cars received by the city and complaint was entered. Mr. McFadden stated that some water no doubt existed in the oil, but that his company was not wholly to blame. The price agreed upon originally was 78 1-2 cents per barrel, and a compromise was effected by the city agreeing to pay 60 cents per barrel for the first two cars, the original price to be paid for the 3rd. It was further agreed to abrogate the present oil contract now existing between the city and the water company. It was ordered that the city furnish gasoline for Engineer Steward's automobile while it was used in the discharge of city duties. The following bills against the city were allowed: Mrs. Plistorius, salary $50.00 M. McAulay, same $15.00 E. H. Adams, same $100.00 Ed Schneider $90.00 Joseph Lieb $90.00 Emil Miller $85.00 W. F.

O. OSHER BEGINS GENERAL PRACTICE OF MEDICINE AND SURGERY Dr. Osher wishes to announce that he will practice medicine and surgery hereafter, together with his special work of eye, ear, nose and throat and oral surgery. Dr. Osher has up to the present time devoted himself exclusively to his special work, as formerly in Chicago for ten years, up to which time he did special practice there. Dr. Osher continues the practice of oral surgery in all that the term involves, notwithstanding the contention by the local member of the dental board. This in no way affects Dr. Osher's future practice here. COMPLAINT TO QUIET TITLE A complaint to quiet title to real estate has been filed by William Berkensstock, against May Basten adminstrtrix of the estate of A. H. Basten deceased. The order making Mrs. Basten adminstrtrix was handed down and this friendly suit was at once begun. "I like this quaint little mountain village of yours, waiter. I suppose I can get plenty of oxygen here." "No air; we've got local option." FOUR CROPS IN ONE YEAR Frank Rogers of Garden Grove has proven conclusively what can be done on Garden Grove soil. Last year he got four crops on a 3-acre tract. On February 15, 1915, he turned under a fine stand of barley as a cover crop. The land was immediately planted to potatoes. In May the crop was dug and sold. The returns were about $25 an acre. As soon as the potatoes were off the land a lima bean crop was planted. The planting began within three days after the spuds were harvested. In September the beans were out. The yield brought $80 an acre. Before the end of the month the land was planted to cabbage. The cabbage harvest was begun February 1, 1915, and the yield brought $70 an acre. Here you have four crops within one twelfemonth. Nowhere else save in the Southland will you find conditions where the land will keep right on producing the year around, and where the reaper can follow the sower so continuously and frequently. The soil is a rich sandy loam and it is better than having a gold mine to own some of it. This land was treated to fertilizer just once in the year and that was when a coating of manure was spread over the acreage after the beans were harvested and before the cabbage was planted.

To this opening came as many visitors as the city had inhabitants six years ago, yet San Diego handled the crowds without mishap. These crowds went home bubbling with enthusiasm, overflowing with the beauty of the Spanish city they had beheld. These visitors are the beginning of an endless chain. They are urging their friends to go, and these friends, upon their return, will urge others to see the enchanted city of the conquistadores. Even before the installation of the exhibits was finished San Diego's exposition more than satisfied the expectaction of the first visitors. Therefore San Diego's exposition will be successful. The Panama-California exposition will keep open twelve full months. Every month the wealth of its blossom and foliage will grow, every month its beauty and charm will increase. Since efficient management has made it possible to pay running expenses out of an average minimum daily attendance of 2500, its financial success is beyond question. San Diego has hit the bull's eye with its exposition.—Sunset Magazine. TO QUET TITLE Carolina B. Pittman has instituted suit against the Doraby Oil Co., et al., and the complaint has been filed. In this complaint it is alleged that the defendant company had a least assigned to it by H. W. McLeod, one of the co-defendants, and that neither the oil people nor McLeod have kept the agreements into which the latter entered when Mrs. Pittman gave him the lease. The suit is to quiet the title to the lands in question, and leave them the undisputed property of the plaintiff. NO IMPROVEMENTS ON COURTHOUSE CONTEMPLATED Board of Supervisors Decide Time Inopportune for Further Increase in Tax Rate The matter of adding another story to the courthouse has been abandoned by the supervisors. They have talked the matter over and decided it would not be good policy or so the best advantage of the taxpayers of the county to raise the rate in order to meet the increased expense in adding an extra story to the court house, and doing all the other work contemplated. The board intends to do a great amount of road work, and, in fact, are pledged to that feature of improvement in the county. In order to carry out their ideas regarding the roads to the fullest, they have carefully calculated the cost and have come to the conclusion that they would have to pass up one thing or the other. They could not build on the court house and make the roads as contemplated, also. If the court house is too crowded, offices may be rented in some other buildings until such time as the court house is enlarged, as more room for some of the departments is absolutely necessary. Two of the supervisors do not like the idea of tinkering with the court house at all. They are of the opinion that it would be very much better to erect another distinct building, to be known as the Hall of Records, on some other site, making such a building separate from the court house altogether. The court house is much too symmetrical a building, as it now stands, these men say, to be hurt by tinkering with it.
