NEW FACTS ABOUT FUMIGATION OF TREES DISCOVERIES REGARDING THE CONSTRUCTION OF DOSAGE TABLES REPORTED CORRECTS SOME OF THE FAULTY METHODS PRACTICED UNDER OLD SYSTEM A new principle applicable to the construction of dosage tables was discovered while making a careful comparison of the rate of charge in the dose necessary to compensate for the differences in leakage. Since large tents contain a greater volume of gas in proportion to the surface than smaller tents the leakage is correspondingly less important and it is possible to arrange a series of sizes of tents which will correspond with the various degrees of leakage in such a manner that they should require identical doses. Such a series, omitting the fraction, is as follows: 37 35 32 30 28 26 24 ft. 10 .15 .20 .25 .30 .35 .40 per cent A further inspection, says C. W. Woodworth of the State Experiment Station of the state agricultural college, brought out the fact that while these numbers do not form a regular simple series the doses that are assigned to these sizes under the same tent do form a regular geometrical progression decreasing at such a rate that after five intervals the number is reduced by one half. The principle is then that an arithmetical series of leakages is related calculations is that they only provide approximately correct doses for a rather small range of sizes and degrees of leakage. Every one will appreciate that since a comparatively tight tent will require doses on a volume basis and tents with average size and leakage on an area basis that other degrees of leakage will not be properly provided for by either of the systems. If a tent is tighter than the average it is not correct to simply reduce all doses proportionately, as given on the ordinary table, since such a process preserves the same system. For instance, if a five and a ten foot tree received respectively four and 16 ounces, a reduction of 25 per cent would give 3 and 12, which have the same relation, that is, one is four times the other. 2 and 12 might be nearer correct, which would be in proportion of 1 to 6, intermediate between the 1 to 4 area basis and the volume basis of 1 to 8. Likewise for a more leaky tent a 25 per cent increase, making 5 and 20 ounces, should more likely read 10 and 20. However, if the tables were constructed according to the right system as regards the delation of size to dose a percentage increase or decrease would result in the correct adjustment for different leakages. The error in the calculation of the table is exactly of the same character as that regarding size and leakage. Since the invention of the leakage meter we have a ready means of learning just what the natural leakage of a tent is, and should regulate our dose accordingly. Standing on the inside of the tent one can see, between the interlacing of the fibres of the weave of the cloth, hundreds of thousands of openings; though small enough to prevent the passage of drops of water, they are very large compared with the size of the gas particles which escape through these holes without any hindrance. In dry weather the fibres shrink, leaving larger openings, which the meter will detect.

There will undoubtedly increase in importance States as the tariff ois exceedingly low. A further inspection, says C. W. Woodworth of the State Experiment Station of the state agricultural college, brought out the fact that while these numbers do not form a regular simple series the doses that are assigned to these sizes under the same tent do form a regular geometrical progression decreasing at such a rate that after five intervals the number is reduced by one half. The principle is then that an arithmetical series of leakages is related to a geometrical series of dosages and both correspond to the same complex series of tents. The application of this principle to the construction of dosage tables resulted in the production of the remarkably simple and practical form presented below. It is necessary to point out again that there is urgent need of a series of new and acceptable tables. One of the causes of the continued dissatisfaction with the process of fumigating citrus trees is the common use of dosage tables that are grossly inaccurate. It is difficult to understand why these should be so persistently advocated unless it be that their inaccuracy has not been sufficiently emphasized. The tables most in use are incorrect in the three following particulars. The range of shape found in the extensive series of measurements made by this station varied between tents in which the distance over equaled that around the tent in the case of high seedling orange trees to the low broad lemmons which had a circumference twice that of the distance over the top. A very prevalent form of table determines the relative doses in proportion of the product of the two dimensions. Thus a tree 30x30 ft. would have the same dose as one 21x42 ft. This is evidently only a mathematical blunder and is about equivalent to insisting that a man six feet high and three feet waist measure weighed the same as another man four feet around and four and one-half feet high, since the product in each case is 18. The writer acknowledges the responsibility of having first suggested the method of size calculation now in vogue, though it had previously been used unconsciously by the late Alexander Craw and some who have adopted it subsequently were not aware of the identity of their method of calculation. The prevailing plan is to vary the dose at the same rate as the tent area varies. That is a 10 foot tree re INTOXICATED MEN MUST NOT DRIVE AUTOS Sheriff Jackson Proposes to Prosecute Offenders to Extent of the Law Those who, while in a state of intoxication, operate motor vehicles on the highways of Orange county had better beware of Sheriff C. E. Jackson. The sheriff is absolutely determined to do his utmost to bring to justice all those whom he learns have violated that section of the state motor vehicle law, which says that automobiles shall not be driven by intoxicated persons. Thursday afternoon at about 3 o'clock Sheriff Jackson received word from Tustin that a roadster appearing to be driven by a drunken man had passed through that town. The roadster had stopped at Tustin and a man, also intoxicated, had been put out of the car and a fight between the latter man and another occupant of the car had ensued. The sheriff dispatched Motorcycle Officer Ballard after the roadster. Ballard chased the car and near Galivan arrested the driver, B. C. Case, who gave his address as being Portland, Oregon. Sheriff Jackson went to Tustin and arrested the man who had been ejected from the automobile at Tustin. This man gave the name of Harry Elliott. Elliott, according to testimony given in Justice Cox's court on Friday by Sheriff Jackson, used loud, profane and abusive language both during and after the time he was put out of the automobile. Elliott was found guilty of disturbing the peace, and was fined $10. In default of money with which to pay his fine, Elliott was committed to the county jail. Case, the driver of the automobile, furnished $100 bail, after pleading not guilty to the charge of driving of an dose accordingly. Standing on the inside of the tent one can see, between the interlacing of the fibres of the weave of the cloth, hundreds of thousands of openings; though small enough to prevent the passage of drops of water, they are very large compared with the size of the gas particles which escape through these holes without any hindrance. In dry weather the fibres shrink, leaving larger openings, which the meter will detect and measure, but to compensate for which the dose should be larger.

The writer acknowledges the responsibility of having first suggested the method of size calculation now in vogue, though it had previously been used unconsciously by the late Alexander Craw and some who have adopted it subsequently were not aware of the identity of their method of calculation. The prevailing plan is to vary the dose at the same rate as the tent area varies. That is, a 10 foot tree receives four times as much as a five foot tree and has four times as much tent area. Each square foot of tent area by this plan may allow the same amount of gas to escape before the tent is empty, no matter what the size of the tree. How completely incorrect this plan is can be appreciated by extending the table to trees of very large size. The amount per cubic foot is half as large in a ten foot tree as in a five foot tree and a quarter as dense in a 20-foot, and eight in a 40-foot, etc. Evidently the initial density will soon come to be so low as to be completely inefficient. The calculation of the dose by this method is not, far wrong for trees of medium size and the plan served a useful purpose as long as there was nothing better, but it is now clearly time to discard what was from the first given as a tentative makeshift to be used until a better method was worked out. The method gives in fact doses that are too weak at both ends of the table and most of the tables have been arbitrarily increased at the lower end to accord with the experience of fumigators which has abundantly shown the weakness of the calculated tables. A fundamental defect of the area Committees are at work at Santa Ana preparing for the state Sunday-school convention, which will be held at Santa Ana October 12, 13-14. Arrangements are to be made to entertain no less than 1000 delegates. The First Methodist church has been selected as the place for holding the main sessions of the convention. Department gatherings will be held at other churches. County Clerk Williams has received from State Printer Telfer 26,000 copies of constitutional amendments to be voted on in October. These will be sent out with the sample ballots.

Some damage, not more than usual, is reported, but the final result will be an abundant yield of everything that America grows. Lack of shipping facilities will very seriously affect the marketing of our surplus production. Locally the bean crop promises a phenomenal year. Should any one ask our opinion as to whether to sell at present market prices or store beans for a rise in price, we would say sell now, and avoid storage and insurance charges. It is estimated by the best authorities that there were on hand in California of the 1914 crop of beans 400,000 sacks; The 1915 crop is estimated at 3,475,000 sacks, making a total of 3,875,000 sacks on hand. In the bean growing states of the United States other than California, and in Japan and Manchuria and other foreign countries, the acreage planted to beans in 1915 exceeds the acreage planted in 1914 by 25 per cent, and the yield promises to be good. There will undoubtedly be a large increase in importations to the United States as the tariff on this commodity is exceedingly low.

There will undoubtedly be a large increase in importations to the United States as the tariff on this commodity is exceedingly low. In 1914 the total bean crop in California amounted to 2,905,000 sacks of which 400,000 were on hand June 1st. With the beans on hand and crop of 3,475,000 maturing and importations increasing, it would seem that prices cannot advance. Discount the estimated yield ten per cent and the supply is still over abundant. Harvesting of beets is well under way and the yield is good, both in quality and quantity. The valencia orange growers have been getting phenomenal prices during the past sixty days which largely offset the low prices obtainer during a portion of the season for navel oranges. The pack of deciduous fruits and vegetables by our various canneries will be large and of good quality. Dried fruits are beginning to move freely, but at prices less than realized in 1914. The growing of rice in California is assuming large proportions. In Kern county, lands long considered worthless agriculturally, are proving of great value for rice growing. In the Sacramento valley large acreage is devoted to rice. The yield of the 1915 crop in California is estimated at nearly $4,000,000. The walnut crop, which promised an abundant yield, will be curtailed by the heat of the latter part of August. In some localities the nuts on the outside of the trees are burned.

WAR HAS INCREASED OUR MERCHANT MARINE Is Second Now Only to That of Great Britain The European war has placed the United States second among the maritime nations of the world. Acting Secretary Sweet of the department of commerce, in announcing that the American merchant marine now is second only to that of Great Britain, pointed out that the increase might not be permanent. The total of American merchant shipping on June 30, according to the announcement, was 26,577 vessels of 8,319,486 tons, an increase of 390,789 gross tons, during the year. A decrease of 366 in the number of vessels was explained to be due to the greater size of modern vessels. The total merchant tonnage of the United States is exceeded only by the merchant, shipping under the British flag, which is approximately 21,275,000 tons. These figures, however, include foreign, coastwise, lake and river traffic. Temporarily, the tonnage of American shipping takes exceedingly high rank, but the conditions may be in no wise a permanent one. The future of American shipping after the war is over will depend upon the maritime The State Commission of Immigration and Housing has successfully closed negotiations with the U.S. government for the loan of one of its leading experts in education, Luther Parker, industrial inspector of education for the Philippine Islands. Mr. Parker assisted in the compilation of the Philippine public schools' exhibit at the Panama Pacific Exposition, and during the past few months has been representing the Philippine bureau of education at the exposition. Parker has been granted a year's leave of absence from his regular work and has been detailed to assist the state immigration commission in formulating a program of education for immigrants. The commission has made general surveys of the educational facilities provided for adult immigrants and has found the state woefully lacking in this respect. Little or no provision has been made for teaching immigrants the English language, and no courses in citizenship training have been given except in one or two localities. The commission announced some time ago its intention to bring about a change in this situation, and it now plans to place California in the front rank among the states that are striving to do something of a constructive nature in aiding and encouraging the assimilation of America's millions of immigrant allens. The employment by the commission of Parker marks the end of several months' search for a man of technical and practical experience to take charge of this education work. Parker is a Californian but has been in the bureau of education in the Philippines for 14 years.
