COUNTRY CLASS GOING TO SEE THE COWS University's Annual Farm Picnic, April 24, Will Draw Large Crowd There is not a farm in all California which possesses such fine livestock as the University farm at Davis. So the famous stock parade on the afternoon of Saturday, April 24, always a feature of the university's annual farm picnic, is expected to bring together not less than five thousand admirers of the university's highly pedigree dairy cows, sheep, horses, goats, swine, beef cattle, and other livestock representing the best achievements of the breeder's art. All manner of other interesting sights are to be shown—barns, stables, poultry yard, choice orchards, and a vast variety of table, wine and raisin grapes, improved irrigation and pumping methods, field crops, farm crops, farm machinery, and the work of a creamery where butter, cheese and ice cream of the highest quality are made by the students. The farm picnic plans are being worked out through cooperation between the 288 students in the three-year course of the farm school and the 75 students from the college of agriculture at Berkeley who are spending the present half-year at the farm. The Junior contests in judging livestock will begin at 9:30 a.m. on April 24. There will be athletic events, and speechmaking. At noon the picnickers will have their basket lunches on the broad lawns. At 1:15 will occur the stock parade. From 2 to 3 every department of the farm school will be in full operation, so that the students of agriculture may be seen at their very practical work. Then will come a baseball game, and among the zoological articles in the institution's annual report is one on the value of birds to man, in which the author, James Buckland of London, makes the astounding statement that although man imagines himself the dominant power on earth, he is nothing of the sort, the true lords of the universe are the insects. Nor although man has attained predominance over the most fierce and powerful animals and most deadly reptiles, he and his works would be of little avail before an attack of insects, which include a greater number of species than all other living creatures combined. Some 300,000 species have been described while possibly twice that number will remain unknown. The author says that these incomputable hordes feed on nearly all living animals and pardically all plants, and multiply into prodigious numbers in an incredibly short time. Computations show that one species developing thirteen generations a year would, if unchecked to the twelfth generation, multiply to ten sex-tillion individuals, while a single pair of gypsy moths, if unchecked, would produce in eight years enough progeny to destroy all the foliage of the United States. One pair of potato bugs, he states, would develop unchecked 60,000,000 in a single season, at which rate of multiplication the potato plant would not long survive. Through its predominating insect diet, and on account of its exceedingly rapid digestion, the bird becomes the most indispensable halter company thus throrthy of the comdestructive competitive business. AMERICA'S SHIPPING PORT The year 1914 was west for the American year 1915 promises precedent activity days of the present 48 ocean vessels among the lot was building of two ships. The head of shipyards announced closed enough busmen engaged for years. Plans have prices asked on six sets. Apparently shipyard will be well throughout the year merchant marine w addition to its tonnies. Two factors entitle markable revival—war and second, The struggle abro far enough for A men to appreciate The Junior contests in judging live stock will begin at 9:30 a.m. on April 24. There will be athletic events, and speechmaking. At noon the picnickers will have their basket lunches on the broad lawns. At 1:15 will occur the stock parade. From 2 to 3 every department of the farm school will be in full operation, so that the students of agriculture may be seen at their very practical work. Then will come a baseball game, and a special program for women visitors, arranged by the wives of the faculty. A moving picture show will end the day's events. That every part of California is sending its young men to the farm to be trained for success in country life is shown by the make-up of the committee in charge of the farm picnic as follows: E. R. Verue, Pasadena. C. J. Williams, Newman. J. P. McKillip, Los Angeles. A. M. Hunt, Santa Barbara. J. H. Roberts, Los Angeles. R. M. Yolland, Los Gatos. G. W. Cornell, Watsonville. R. W. Lockhart, Santa Rosa. G. H. Wilson, Los Angeles. The reason so many thousands gather every year for the farm picnic is that farmers and those who want to farm appreciate this unusual opportunity to see the best there is in animal industry and in the new ways of modern successful farming. THE HOMES OF THE NATION That the people of a nation should own the roofs over their heads has been always recognized as desirable. It has been generally assumed that we in the United States have both the purpose and the opportunity to put that ideal into practice; but figures drawn from the census of 1910 go to show that as a matter of fact we are doing nothing of the sort. The total number of homes in the United States, on farms, in cities, and in villages, is estimated at 20,255,555, and rather more than half of them are hired. The proportion of hired houses is naturally lowest in the country, but since 1880 the percentage of tenant farmers has increased from 25.6 to 37. In large cities the conditions are reversed. More than one-quarter of the 20,255,555 homes are in cities that contain a single pair of gypsy moths, if unchecked, would produce in eight years enough progeny to destroy all the foliage of the United States. One pair of potato bugs, he states, would develop unchecked 60,000,000 in a single season, at which rate of multiplication the potato plant would not long survive. Through its predominating insect diet, and on account of its exceedingly rapid digestion, the bird becomes the most indispensable balancing force of nature. Without its assistance, man, with his poisons, the weather and animals, as well as the parasitic predaceous insects, would be helpless. The author then states how the bird is a benefit to man in a great number of ways; in checking insect invasions, in preserving forests and orchards; their service in the meadows and gardens; their value in protecting live stock, and their usefulness in the preservation of health and elimination of disease. Remarkable instances of the birds' service to man include the introduction of the English sparrow into New Zealand with the resulting elimination of the thistle and the caterpillar, which were ruling the land and crops, and the saving of Australian agriculture from the grasshoppers by the strawwhecked ibis, in individual craws of which an average of 2400 grasshoppers was found. The story of Frederick the Great, wherein he is alleged to have ordered all small birds killed because the sparrows had pecked at some of his cherries, and the resulting lack of fruit but fine crops of caterpillars two years later proves a graphic lesson. The Scalp Act of Pennsylvania, which paid in bounties $90,000 for the extermination of hawks and owls, lost for the state $3,850,000 in damage to agriculture due to the increase of small rodents which resulted. When Montana was free from hawks and owls it became so overrun with destructive rodents that the legislature offered rewards for them—a task which the banished hawks and owls had performed free of charge.

More than one-quarter of the 20,255,555 homes are in cities that contain 100,000 inhabitants or more, and here the percentage of hired houses, or rather dwelling places, reaches 74—a figure that holds good also for the two great cities, Chicago and Philadelphia; in New York, the city of a million homes, as the census uses the term, the percentage rises as high as 88. Spokane is the only one of fifty of the larger cities in which it falls below 50 per cent. For the continued well-being of a democracy, it is essential that every voter have a sense of economic responsibility. The expenditure of the public money is a matter that comes up in some form at every election; but voters who have had little experience in controlling anything of their own are not the persons best fitted to say how the public money shall be spent. The participation of voters unfit in this respect for government is one of the great causes of the political ill that manifest themselves in our large cities and in our manufacturing and mining communities. There is nothing that so naturally and effectively quickens the voter's sense of economic responsibility as owning his house. The need of keeping it up and improving his property compels him to act soberly and intelligently, and the care of what is his own quickens his perception of the rights of others. Moreover, when a family has once struck its roots into the ground it is likely to hold; and DECISION OF RAILROAD COMMISSION TENDS TO KEEP OUT UNDESIRABLE COMPETITION California's Railroad Commission is attracting attention all over the United States for the impartial decisions which are constantly being urged out by that body. A feature of the work of the railroad commission in this state is that the corporations are given a fair hearing and stand a chance in their just claims, just as much as do the private individuals who may bring claims before the body. There are few states in the Union where private individuals and corporations have as square a deal with the railroad commission as they do in California, and for this reason much attention is drawn to the work and decisions of the California commission. The fact that corporations feel safe with the treatment they will secure from the state commission is having much to do, also, with the tendency to invest capital in this state. The following clipping is from the Wall Street Journal of February 26, regarding the contest in the Oro Electric company against the Western States Gas and Electric company, the former having sought to enter the city of Stockton, while the field is fully occupied and served by the latter concern. The Wall Street Journal says: "The Supreme Court of California has sustained the right of the California Railroad Commission to refuse the Oro Electric Corporation a permit to do business in Stockton, in competition with the Western States Gas & Elec- That the community protected against and that genuine reform as heartily declared by A.

In the first 36 days of the present year, orders for 48 ocean vessels were booked and among the lot was a contract for the building of two ships for British owners. The head of one of the large shipyards announces that he has closed enough business to keep 6000 men engaged for from two to three years. Plans have been drawn and prices asked on sixty more ocean vessels. Apparently every American shipyard will be working to capacity throughout the year and the American merchant marine will have the largest addition to its tonnage in history. Two factors enter into this remarkable revival—first the European war and, second, the Panama canal. The struggle abroad has progressed far enough for American shipping men to appreciate its effects upon the authority of the commission to prevent destructive competition in public utility business.

PRICES asked on sixty more ocean vessels. Apparently every American shipyard will be working to capacity throughout the year and the American merchant marine will have the largest addition to its tonnage in history. Two factors enter into this remarkable revival—first the European war and, second, the Panama canal. The struggle abroad has progressed far enough for American shipping men to appreciate its effects upon the ocean-carrying trade. Hitherto the American has labored under serious handicap. It costs more to build a ship in an American than in a European yard. Wages here are higher. Labor represents the largest single item in the building of a ship. It costs more, too, to operate a vessel under the American flag than under that of any other nation, our laws requiring larger crews. The war it is believed, will bring a readjustment that will wipe out these differences. Through the hundreds of thousands of men killed and the millions wounded, it is expected there will be so great a scarcity of labor in Europe when the war ends that wages will be increased to a level never reached before there, and the heavy taxation imposed on all industries to pay the war debts will raise the costs of products to a decided degree. Added to all this is the fact that while hundreds of merchant craft have been sunk by commerce destroyers, the regular output of European shipyards has ceased. There is one more thing of which time alone can measure the importance. That is the depletion and disorganization of the forces formerly engaged in shipbuilding by being called to military duty.

IN THE SUPERIOR COURT Of the State of California In and for the County of Orange That the community needs to be protected against "expert witnesses," and that genuine experts desire this reform as heartily as anyone else is declared by A. M. Kidd, professor of law in the university of California, in the March number of the California Law Review, the legal quarterly published by the students of the school of jurisprudence. Too often, he declares, charlatans falsely pose as experts. Only such experts are called in as the lawyers know will testify in favor of their side. Hence many real experts refuse to serve as witnesses, feeling that the methods of examination are incompatible with truth and dignity. But the selection of experts by the judge himself Professor Kidd feels a questionable remedy. "The less power or a judge has to favor his friends by lucrative appointment, the better able he is to perform his judicial duties," he declares. And it is because judges are in politics, and because "unless a judge does politics he will not be a judge." As a possible remedy he suggests that the medical societies, for instance make up lists of competent experts from which the judge may select an export who shall not be retained by either side, but a real interpreter of scientific truth for both sides. Such a witness should not be barred from expressing opinions nor unduly limited by technical objections as to hear-say. Most important of all, he believes, is raising the standard of the legal profession and creation of a public opinion that will drive from the courts the incompetent and the dishonest.
