DISPISED WEED PROVES TO BE OF VALUE BITTER CLOVER, IT HAS BEEN DISCOVERED, IS A SPLENDID COVER CROP WILL INCREASE THE YIELD OF CERTAIN CROPS BY TWO-THIRDS Like the ugly duckling in the story which turned out to be a swan, bitter clover, a despised pest of the grain fields, has now been discovered by the University of California to be an invaluable ally of the farmer, capable of increasing the yield of his land by two-thirds. Bitter clover is a yellow flowering annual which grows wild in Arizona and California and is known also as yellow top, sour clover, sweet clover, or mellilotus indica. It has now been proved that if grown to the age of about six months as a cover crop and then plowed under, it will increase by two thirds the yield of certain other crops, planted in succession on it, so greatly does it enrich the soil with nitrogen and humus. The story of how this unappreciated weed has been found to increase the yield of subsequent crops, following its incorporation into the soil, to a greater extent than any other legume ever tested in California is told by W. M. Mertz, superintendent of cultivation of the citrus experiment system is extremely useful to the orchardist, keeping the deep layers of the soil in good physical condition and opened up for irrigation. Here is a message from the University Farm. Not all California farmers have made money this year. Those who have had but one crop to depend on have with a few exception made the least profit. Is not now the opportune time to go into more diversified farming? Raise a few hogs or sheep, milk a few cows, or feed some beef stock. Make use of the fodder now wasted. Help the wife with her poultry. What, you say you don't know much about stock or poultry and do not care to borrow money to go into the business with your limited knowledge? Well, then, take your wife or send her with the oldest boy the to Farmers' Short Courses at Davis. These courses have meant dollars to many California farmers. It may be your opportunity. Remember the date October 4, and the place, University Farm, Davis. These Short Courses will be in progress at the farm from Oct. 4 to Nov. 13. There will be separate courses in general agriculture, poultry husbandry, dairy manufactures, and horticulture, the latter subject including deciduous fruits, citrus and tropical fruits, viticulture, and olives. All the varied resources of the 779 acres of the Farm will be at the disposal of the visiting farmers, including the fine herds of over 200 pedigreed dairy and beef cattle, the prize winning swine and sheep, the 500 varieties of grapes in the thirty acres of experimental vineyard, the fifteen acres of experimental orchards, the sixty acres devoted to experiments in field and forage crops, the equipment for the investigation of improved methods in irrigation fertilizing, seed improvement, and budding, grafting, pruning and spraying methods. MANY MINDS IN GALIFORNIA TREMENDOUS INCREMENT DUCTION DURING YEAR 7000 TONS IS ESTIMATED WITH 2000 ACRES TREES COMING Ten million dollars were pockets of olive california if all the olive trees were yielding good there was a market area. These figures are based furnished by the horticultural and cover the acres. That this huge sum many fold if the world market for the fruit goes to 4000 tons in tons in 1915. Of this yea haps 1000 tons has not ed and at the rate you coming into bearing and is being planted the urging creasing the demand and clitles is apparent. A majority of the olive then plowed under, it will increase by two thirds the yield of certain other crops, planted in succession on it, so greatly does it enrich the soil with nitrogen and humus. The story of how this unappreciated weed has been found to increase the yield of subsequent crops, following its incorporation into the soil, to a greater extent than any other legume ever tested in California is told by W. M. Mertz, superintendent of cultivation of the citrus experiment station of the University at Riverside, in a circular on Meillotus Indica as a Green Manure Crop in Southern California, just published by the university, and obtainable free by writing to the college of agriculture at the university. Here is related the story of how for many years past the University has been testing a wide variety of cover crops at Riverside and elsewhere. Various clovers, vetches and other legumes, as well as rye, barley, etc., have been grown as a winter cover crop and then plowed under in the spring, in order, by green manuring, to introduce nitrogen into the soil, aid the activity of useful bacteria, and improve the texture, humus content, and general condition of the soil. Then potatoes, corn, sugar beets, and other crops have been grown on the test plots to find out how much the fertility of the soil has been improved by this treatment. The resulting increase in fertility has been gratifying. Land on which common vetch had been plowed under gave an increased yield of 28.7 per cent; burr clover, 30.4 and Canadian peas 43.4 per cent. But when bitter clover was grown and plowed under, the yield of the test crops following showed an actual average increase of 64.8 per cent. This is nearly half as great an increase of yield as it has been possible to obtain by plowing under cover crops of rye or barley and applying also 1092 pounds of nitrate or soda or 1188 pounds of dried blood per acre. Bitter clover, moreover, is practically immune to injury by that common insect pest, the aphis, and it will stand more frost than either vetch or peas. For use in a citrus orchard bitter clover should be planted not later than October 15, in order to make a large growth and be ready to plow under by March. In walnut orchards, however, and in other irrigated deltoides orchards where lateering is necessary, including the fine words of over 200 pedigreed dairy and beef cattle, the prize winning swine and sheep, the 500 varieties of grapes in the thirty acres of experimental vineyard, the fifteen acres of experimental orchards, the sixty acres devoted to experiments in field and forage crops, the equipment for the investigation of improved methods in irrigation fertilizing, seed improvement, and budding, grafting, pruning and spraying methods. All the work in the short courses is planned especially to be of direct practical value to men and women whose daily work in life is on the farm.

injury by that common insect pest, the aphis, and it will stand more frost than either vetch or peas. For use in a citrus orchard bitter clover should be planted not later than October 15, in order to make a large growth and be ready to plow under by March. In walnut orchards, however, and in other irrigated deciduous orchards where late spring plowing is possible without injury, bitter clover may be planted as a cover crop as late as December 15. It is an interesting example of how science nowadays makes profitable use of what once was regarded as refuse and waste that the seed of bitter clover is now largely a by-product, being separated from the screenings of wheat, in which it is often a prevalent weed. The cost of the 25 pounds of good recleaned seed per acre needed to plant bitter clover is less than that of the 75 pounds of common vetch seed or 100 pounds of Canadian pea seed needed to plant these two other cover crops, heretofore the most popular. Another remarkable merit of this new cover crop is that it is extremely effective in preventing plow sole, or irrigation hardpan, an alliment to which a large proportion of irrigated orchard soils in California are liable. Frequent cultivations of dry pulverized soils, together with frequent irrigation, tend to wash down the fine clay particles and deposit them in a dense hard layer of varying thickness just under the cultivated area, and thus soils become impervious to water. Bitter clover, however, though an annual plant in six months sends its roots deep down into soil, often as much as eight feet. This great root be expected that the yearly travel to them will rapidly increase. Thus, the damage caused by the war is being neutralized by inducing Americans to spend money at home. The whole country is gainer by this intermingling of the people of the East and the West. Secretary Lane's modest estimate of at least a hundred million dollars that Americans are saving to America this year is, indeed, conservative in comparison with the figures compiled by Lockwood Barr, editor of the Wall Street Journal, who finds that the 600,000 Americans who go abroad each normal year spend, in passage money alone, nearly $87,000,000. Most of the steamship lines, of course, are foreign. "It is quite impossible," he continues, "to get even a fair approximation of the amount of money tourists spend while abroad in hotel bills, railroad tickets, steamboat and other forms of transportation, gratuities, etc. An estimate by one who comes in contact with a representative part of the regular summer exodus of Americans to Europe places the amount of money spent in this wise at a very conservative minimum of $220,000,000." "This figure does not take into account the money spent here and there for souvenirs, gifts for those back home, articles of wearing apparel, etc., which travelers in all three classes are prone to indulge in to greater or lesser extent. From the earnest sightseer who has saved up $250 to $300 to lavish on a trip of five to six weeks duration, to the substantial middle-class traveler who can afford to spend from $800 to $1,500, and even $2,000, in the course of a six to eight weeks' peregrination on the Continent, not one seems to be immune from the temptation to buy. "And then there is the traveler who approaches the millions wordly wealth, who, if they a knowledge of the American class abroad, are to be be a small fortune for inch ranging all the way from jewelry and minor art objects measured over the years, have averaged about annually. In what are key years, importations have as $50,000,000." "It would be quite important even a fair estimate of spent for such things—fact, as it would be to expenditures of millions themselves and their faction—the fashion centers of whose purchases of art objects may measure up marble portico, or $500 whole side of an ancient building." MANY MILLIONS IN CALIFORNIA OLIVES TREMENDOUS INCREASE IN PRODUCTION DURING THE PAST YEAR 7000 TONS IS ESTIMATED CROP, WITH 2000 ACRES OF NEW TREES COMING ON Ten million dollars would flow into the pockets of olive growers of California if all the olive trees now planted were yielding good fruit for which there was a market at a fair price. These figures are based upon data furnished by the horticultural commission and cover the acreage now planted. That this huge sum will multiply many fold if the work of finding a market for the fruit goes on is best evidenced by the tremendous increase in production during the past few years. Little was known in this state about olive culture until 1909. Three years later the production was estimated at 1000 tons per annum which grew to 4000 tons in 1914 and 7000 tons in 1915. Of this year's crop, perhaps 1000 tons has not been consumed and at the rate young trees are coming into bearing and new acreage is being planted the urgent need of increasing the demand and providing facilities is apparent. A majority of the olive trees in California today are less than 10 acres. These figures are proven in isolated sections where growing and marketing facilities are ideal. One explanation of the present low consumption of ripe olives ven on the Pacific coast is to be found in the high price charged the consumer for the fruit, putting it in the luxury class out of the reach of the masses. Figured at the per order or per package price paid by the diner in the cafe or the housewife doing her shopping, ripe olives are costing the consumer from two to five thousand dollars per ton. Yet the grower who gets $150 per ton is indeed fortunate. There is an increasing tendency to blame the packer for these conditions, says John J. Avis, president of the California Ripe Olive association. We contend that this is an unfair view to take. The packer has been forced into the position of merchant, manufacturer and banker for the grower—a position which he should not be called upon to fill. The packer can control neither the output nor the market. Therefore he should not be expected to increase nor build up at his own expense something which he can not control. The solution of the growers problems—and they are serious problems, crying for immediate solution, lies in organization. More scientific methods must be encouraged looking to the production of more and better grades of fruit. Standardization of sizes and packing methods demand attention. An intelligent campaign of educational publicity must be inaugurated throughout the country to teach the people to eat ripe olives daily as a standard food of high nutritious and medicinal value. The question of whether present independent packing facilities shall be utilized or co-operative local plants established bears consideration. Methods of distribution and sale must be considered, in order to keep the price to the consumer as near that received by the grower as the cost of offload selling machinery.

Anaheim, Cal. about olive culture until 1909. Three years later the production was estimated at 1000 tons per annum which grew to 4000 tons in 1914 and 7000 tons in 1915. Of this year's crop, perhaps 1000 tons has not been consumed and at the rate young trees are coming into bearing and new acreage is being planted the urgent need of increasing the demand and providing facilities is apparent. A majority of the olive trees in California today are less than 10 years old. Olive trees increase in bearing productivity up to 75 years of age. There are something like 2000 acres of new trees coming into bearing each year which in ten years will produce 6000 tons of fruit per year to be added to the present production. The problem is not at all alarming when the possible consumption of the fruit is considered. The ripe olive is a food, not a relish nor a luxury. Analysis proves that ripe olives contain half the food value of butter. If every family in the United States were to place one single ripe olive on the dinner table each Sunday in the year, the present production would be entirely consumed and the normal increase in the country's population would keep pace with the normal increase in olive production. At the present time the consumption of ripe olives in the east is practically nil, because the knowledge of the delicious, health giving, and food properties of the fruit is very limited. Practically the entire production is consumed by the five million inhabitants of the Pacific coast. Should the consumption of ripe olives throughout the country be increased to the same ratio as prevails on the Pacific Coast, our present production would only be about one twentieth of the Jemand. That would mean big prices to the grower for the fruit and tremendous increases in the value of olive lands. In the countries bordering on the Mediterranean where the inhabitants live very largely on a meagre bill of fare, the consumption of olives is 36 times as great as it is in this wealthy country of ours where luxuries abound even on the laborer's table. If ripe olives brought the same price as butter, for instance, and were sold at the same percentage of profit to the handler as other food products, the ripe olive grower would show a sufficient net profit on his investment to make his land worth $2000 per al publicity must be inaugurated throughout the country to teach the people to eat ripe olives daily as a standard food of high nutritious and medicinal value. The question of whether present independent packing facilities shall be utilized or co-operative local plants established bears consideration. Methods of distribution and sale must be considered, in order to keep the price to the consumer as near that received by the grower as the cost of efficient selling machinery will permit. To the solution of these questions the California Ripe Olive association is dedicated. We will not attack the packer because he is a packer and the handiest individual upon whom to shoulder the blame for conditions. Neither do we charge the jobber nor the retailer with our troubles. We aim to enlist the cooperation of every unit and element in the industry to the end that more and better olives be grown and consumed with a resultant fair price to the grower and legitimate profit to the seller. NATURAL GAS Statistics compiled under the supervision of J. D. Northrop of the United States Geological Survey, show that the quantity of natural gas commercially utilized in the United States in 1914 exceeded that so utilized in any previous year in the history of the natural gas industry. The quantity produced, which amounted to approximately 591,866,733,000 cubic feet, valued at $94,115,524, constitutes a new record of production, exceeding by nearly ten billion cubic feet, or almost two per cent, the former record, established in 1913. Increases in output in 1914 over 1913 were credited to New York, Ohio, Oklahoma, Texas, Louisiana, Alabama, Iowa and California, the state last named alone recording a gain of nearly seven billion cubic feet. Other gas producing states recorded declines in output, the greatest of which, that of Pennsylvania, amounting to slightly more than ten billion cubic feet. The increases in gas production may be attributed to various causes—in New York to the increased drilling activity stimulated by teh advancing petroleum market in 1913 and the early part of 1914; in Ohio to local extensions of the productive fields of the gas belt in the central part of the state and to the development of an important gas pool in the vicinity of... approaches the millionaire stage of wordly wealth, who, if those who have a knowledge of the American of this class abroad, are to be believed, spend a small fortune for incidental things ranging all the way from clothing to jewelry and minor art objects. "United States imports of art objects measured over the past four years, have averaged about $40,000,000 annually. In what are known as boom years, importations have gone as high as $50,000,000. "It would be quite impossible to get even a fair estimate of the money spent for such things—as difficult, in fact, as it would be to estimate the expenditures of millionaires who fit themselves and their families out at the fashion centers of Europe, and whose purchases of art and historic objects may measure up to a $100,000 marble portico, or $500,000 for the whole side of an ancient dwelling. "It is not inconceivable that the class of travelers made up of multimillionaires alone, if they were particularly extravagant and gratified too many of their whims, might spend in these ways enough to bring up the total easily to the $500,000,000 mark." Of course nothing approaching this saving is being spent on American secrecy this summer. At least, however, it is being kept in America.
