MEETING FAVORS CONSERVING WATERS DELEGATES TO RIVERSIDE CONFERENCE UNANIMOUSLY ENDORSE THAT METHOD OF CONTROLLING FLOODS COMMITTEE APPOINTED TO GET BILL THROUGH LEGISLATURE AUTHORIZING ORGANIZATION The meeting called by the Tri-Counties Reforestation committee at Riverside last Wednesday for the purpose of considering the question of forming a triple-county alliance to conserve the flood waters of the Santa Ana river and its tributaries, unanimously endorsed the proposition. There is at present no law giving authority for such an organization. Acting upon the suggestion of Attorney E. E. Keech, the committee recommended that a bill be drafted for presentation, through the water problems conference, to the next legislature for adoption. The engineering problems involved were presented in a most intelligent and comprehensive manner by Engineers Olmstead and A. L. Sonderegger of Los Angeles. The need and the value of the check dam system of control in the upper canyons of the water shed were convincingly presented by Mr. Olmstead, who told of what had been accomplished by this system in the old countries particularly in Austria and sent views to the state water problems conference, and through that source present the legislation we desire to the legislature. “There is no doubt in my mind about the constitutionality of a law to embrace both conservation and protection.” J. P. Baumgartner of Santa Ana, a member of the recently created state water problems conference, was present, and said that one of the ideas in the creation of that conference was to prepare just such legislation as the committee here proposes. He believed that the legislature would be inclined to consider favorably such legislation, and asked that a committee be named to outline exactly the wishes of the committee. The appointment of such a committee of three by Chairman Cuttle was thereupon authorized. State Senator Lyman King of Redlands, who was in attendance, favored this method of getting the problem before the next legislature. The delegates in attendance were: Orange county—G. W. Sherwood, of Fullerton, secretary of the committee; E. E. Keech, H. Clay Kellogg, R. H. English, J. S. Brooks, Mat Nisson, Santa Ana; Henry Delken, Samuel Armor, Orange; A. H. Bradford, Placentia; John Dunston, Tustin; Mrs. Ida F. Dutton, representing the Ebeil club of Anaheim; J. P. Baumgartner, Santa Ana. San Bernardino county—G. A. Atwood, Seth Marshall, San Bernardino; Dr. George Robertson, Senator King, H. H. Garstin, Isaac Ford, E. S. Cook, Harry Cook, Redlands; J. C. Boyd, Rialto; M. M. Randall, Highland. Riverside county — Francis Cuttle, chairman; Mayor Ford, E. A. Chase, W. E. Dauchy, Ralph Newman, E. O. Rickard, L. C. Walte, O. P. Burdge. The engineering problems involved were presented in a most intelligent and comprehensive manner by Engineers Olmstead and A. L. Sonderegger of Los Angeles. The need and the value of the check dam system of control in the upper canyons of the water shed were convincingly presented by Mr. Olmstead, who told of what had been accomplished by this system in the old countries particularly in Austria and Switzerland, and by the experimental work which has been done here in Haines canyon. The value of this system was attested by Engineer Sonderegger, who elaborated further on the plan by outlining what should be done in the way of spreading and conservation on the debris cones at the mouths of the canyons and the checking and control of the streams through the valley stretches. The meeting was very largely attended by members of the committee and visitors from all three counties and the general interest and importance of the problems was well attested by the interest shown in the addresses and the discussion which followed. As a committee to draft the desired legislation Chairman Cuttle named E. P. Clarke, of Riverside; E. E. Keech, of Santa Ana, and K. H. Field of Redlands. Engineer Olmstead presented in detail an outline of his check dam system, later illustrated by stereopticon views of the dams constructed in Haines canyon, views of other canyons and of the work which has been done along these lines in the old countries. "It is foolish to claim that the check dam system will solve the whole problem," he said. "Work on the lower channels, alone, however, has proved impractical, and I believe that it will fake a combination of the two systems to be successful." "The problem isn't sectional. We must forget our minor districts. We are doomed if we don't take the problem in its broader aspects. We are facing a common foe and we must have cooperation, with state and federal help, if we are to succeed." "We don't know just what relief the check dam system will afford, but I will stake my engineering reputation on two things: First, that the check dams will be an important factor in controlling the crest of the club of Anaheim; J.

MUCH ACTIVITY IN OIL WELL REGION California State Mining Bureau Reports Much New Drilling Activity in drilling new oil wells continues throughout the California fields as shown by the reports made to the state mining bureau during the week ending March 4th. There were sixteen new wells reported, which equals the highest weekly number yet reported. A remarkable fact is the widespread distribution of the wells among the various fields and owners. The large companies own only four of the wells. This probably indicates that the pressure for more oil has now reached the smaller producers who respond less quickly to market changes than the larger ones do. It is also a notable fact that fourteen wells are reported for deepening or redrilling which is a secondary method of increasing production. The number of tests of water shut off and abandonment are normal. The bureau is now receiving sworn production statements from all producers for the year 1915. These figures are to be used as the basis in levying the assessment to pay for the oil protection work carried on by the bureau and will doubtless give the most accurate figure that has ever been obtained. The assessment to be collected this year is to cover the expense of two years and amounts to $75,000. There will also be established funds in each county to provide for actual repair work at wells where owners refuse or are unable to carry it out. The complete list of work is as follows: Company Sec.

"We don't know just what relief the check dam system will afford, but I will stake my engineering reputation on two things: First, that the check dams will be an important factor in controlling the crest of the flood; and second, that it will double the low water supply over a series of dry years. "It is the crest of the flood flow that does the damage, and our first problem is to break that crest in the upper canyons." He went on to show by illustration how that had been accomplished in Haines canyon, and how it might be accomplished on the upper waters of the Santa Ana and its tributaries. "From the evidence of the expert engineers we find that the proper control of the Santa Ana must be from the mountains to the sea," said E. E. Keech, in discussing the legal phase of the situation. "At present we have no law which will enable us to co-operate as counties, or as a group of counties. Only the lands which are liable to overflow can under the present law be taxed for river control. “What we need is a law which will include the land which will be benefitted by the consevation of water as well as by the prevention of overflow. The only way to get such a law is to carefully prepare a bill for submission, and to secure its passage by the next legislature. "I can't offer any solution off hand. The problem is a very complex one, but is not insolvable. The best thing to do is to provide, propose and pre-been obtained.

HOW TO SPRAY FOR BROWN ROT IN FRUIT DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE TELLS OF PROCESS USED ON PRUNES AND CHERRIES LIME-SULPHUR AND BORDEAUX MIXTURE BOTH GIVE GOOD RESULTS IS CLAIM Suggestions which may help growers of the lower Columbia and the Willamette Valley to reduce losses of their prunes and cherries from brown rot will shortly be published by the U. S. department of agriculture in a professional paper, Bulletin No. 368 of the departmental series, by Charles Brooks and D. F. Fisher of the office of fruit disease investigation in the bureau of plant industry. The recommendations, which call for repeated sprayings at certain times with self-boiled lime-sulphur or Bordeaux mixture combined with resin-fish-oil soap to make them stick and spread, are based largely on promising results obtained in experiments during the last season in the orchards of A. W. Moody at Felida, Wash. The results are published not as final conclusions but to give growers the benefit of such knowledge as was obtained, in the belief that the spraying system recommended is well worth careful trial. Observations for a number of seasons have shown that the apothecia a stage of the fungus that develops from the fallen prunes, is the probable source of the blossom infection with Monilia blossom blight. Fall plowing and early spring cultivation ahead of the blossoming period have apparently helped in preventing the disease by interfering with the development of the apothecia. In the spraying experiments the hour. The remainder of the water is then slowly added and the mixture thoroughly stirred. This soap was found very valuable in making the spray spread and adhere to the fruit. The soap, however, cannot be used with commercial lime-sulphur. Several years' results will be necessary as a basis for any final recommendation, but in so far as the season of 1915, when rainfall was below normal at the critical seasons for this rot, was typical, the following schedule of spraying may be suggested. The first application just before the blossoms open. The second just after the petals have fallen. The third when the husks have fallen. The fourth about 4 weeks before harvesting. The first and the fourth applications have been found especially important during the past season. Observations made near Vancouver, Wash., and in the vicinity of Salem, Ore., in April showed that there had been a blossom infection of cherries similar to that already described on prunes. It appeared that most of the infection had taken place after the petals had fallen but before the fruit had a chance to push through the husk. Black Republican cherries seemed especially subject to infection, estimates indicating that on this variety fully 90 per cent of the blossoms were infected with Monilia. In many orchards at lease 75 per cent of the blossoms of other varieties were similarly infected. The work as yet has not been carried out as fully as could be desired. It seems evident, however, that the Monilia blossom blight was the cause of serious losses in the Willamette valley in the season of 1915, and that the brown rot of the fruit was the cause of considerable loss at the canneries and heavy losses in the shipping of fresh fruit. It seems probable that a treatment for cherries similar to that outlined for prunes would give satisfactory control of both the blossom infection and the later brown rot attacks on the... Observations for a number of seasons have shown that the apothecia stage of the fungus that develops from the fallen prunes, is the probable source of the blossom infection with Monilia blossom blight. Fall plowing and early spring cultivation ahead of the blossoming period have apparently helped in preventing the disease by interfering with the development of the apothecia. In the spraying experiments the early applications of spray were washed off, which showed the importance of the addition of a sticker, but even under rather unsatisfactory conditions, spraying has given fairly good results. The prune plats given both early and late spraying with self-boiled lime-sulphur set from 2 to 5 times as much fruit as the unsprayed ones, and gave a yield of 2½ times as much, and had 1-9 as much brown rot on the harvested and 1-8 as much on the stored prunes. In spraying, self boiled lime sulphur 8-8-50 and Bordeaux mixture 4-4-50 have both given good results, but the former has seemed somewhat more satisfactory. Two pounds of resin fish oil soap should be used to each 30 gallons of the mixtures. Where this soap cannot be readily obtained, it may be made as follows: Resin, 5 pounds. Potash lye, such as is used for washing purposes, 1 pound. Fish oil, 1 pint. Water, 5 gallons. The resin is dissolved in the oil by heating in a large kettle. After this has partially cooled the potash is added, the mixture being slowly stirred and carefully watched to avoid its boiling over. A part of the water is now added and the boiling continued until the mixture will dissolve in cold water. This will require about 1 It seems almost absurd that many of the text books used in our schools should be printed and bound in Japan, and exported to this country, but it is true, since school books can now come into this country free of duty. Objections to the placing of school books on the free list, when first proposed, were met with the argument that the light of education would be made to shine free of tariff impediments and the complaints of the publishers were scorned. The business of printing American school books has been taken up by Japan—the wonder nation of the east, and its cheap labor and its cheap supplies that cannot be duplicated in this country for rrmany times the cost. They are being reproduced in Japan with Oriental exactitude and exported to the United States for 7 cents apiece. The same books, made in America, cost 33 1-3 cents apiece, with all the advantage of American machinery and increased per capita production.
