BIDS FOR BROADWAY PAVING JULY 13 Continued from Page 1 license to serve liquor with meals at their place of business. The same was granted. A petition was received from C. Silbernagel and others, residents of South Melrose street, asking that cement curbing be put in on that street. Referred to committee on public improvements. A communication was received from E. D. Jones of the South street tract, asking that sidewalks be ordered put in on streets in the new territory asking for free mail delivery. One of the provisions required before the mail route may be established is the building of sidewalks. The city trustees at a previous meeting decided to let the property owners arrange the details for that improvement. In the new territory asking for mail delivery there are 25 or 30 residents and more are coming in right along. The matter was referred to the public improvement committee. A check received from Jim Shearer, to indemnify the city in case of accident, incident to the removal of a house, was ordered returned to that gentleman, the house moving having been accomplished in fine order. Fire insurance policies, one for $1100 for stock owned by the city, the other for $1000 on the city barn, were received by the clerk and ordered filed.

A communication was received from Mayor Visel of Santa Ana, inviting the trustees to attend their Fiesta de Luz this evening. Santa Ana has just completed installation of its ornamental street lights and purposes having the entire county over to help them celebrate. The board decided to accept City Attorney Ames tendered the trustees the use of this big touring car for the occasion. It is to be gally decorated and the city dads will don their best suits of clothes and go over to see the sights. They may take the band with them. A communication was received from the committee on preparedness, of Los Angeles, asking Anaheim to send a delegation to that city and join in the monster parade which was held in the Angelic city yesterday. The communication was filed. Engineer Steward addressed the board in reference to the relaying of heavy steel by the Southern Pacific railway on their right of way on Santa Ana and South Olive streets. A adjustment of the grade is necessary. The matter was referred to the committee on public improvements. The railway company has a large force of men laying the new rails between Lemon and West streets. (Why this transportation company is putting down the heavy steel is cause for conjecture. Some opine that shortly the S.P. through this city may be electricized.) Action upon the removal of the drinking fountain, located in front of the First National bank, which was left to a committee, consisting of Trustees Brunworth and Dwyer and Messrs. Steward and Ames, who were to confer with the W.C.T.U. in regard to its removal, was deferred to the next regular meeting. Mr. Steward had met with the association and reported that a more suitable location for the fountain would be arranged for, but the matter was laid over until the whole committee could convene and decide upon a new location. WHY SOUTHLAND HAS EQUITABLE CLIMATE Salt Lake Route Issues Interesting Folder on the Subject Summer in California, is the title of a new illustrated folder issued by the Salt Lake Route, which describes briefly some of the noted resorts and tells exactly why that Southland with a warm winter climate is cool in summer. The six reasons given for this remarkable equability of climate are: latitude, the Pacific and its tonic winds, the local phenomenon of dynamic pressure squeezing humidity out of the air whenever the temperature rises, as one wrings a sponge, thus eliminatng possibility of muggy stifling weather; the familiar velo cloud of California regularly appearing awhile in summer foronoons and screening off the sun's rays, the cool inward draughts of ocean air pouring eastward to replace the rising hot air of the deserts and Interior valleys during the day, and the picturesque varied contour of Southern California with its mountains and valleys, foothills and passes, lying along the sea and inviting the air currents to constant activity. Some peaks are 11,000 feet high, and perpetually snow capped. The article was written by Howard S. Nichols of Los Angeles and is handsomely illustrated. The Salt Lake route has begun the expenditure of one and a third million dollars in improvements. These betterments included in the 1916 budget prepared by General Manager H.C.Nutt and approved by exSenator Clark and Judge R.S.Lovett, provide for the spending of $547,000 for new rail of 90 lb. section, $260,000 in bridges and $511,000 in miscellaneous improvements. Several hundred men will be employed to carry out the new work and increased activity will be displayed along the entire system. A large part of the material used will be bought in Los Angeles. The new bridges will be of steel with concrete foundations. Increasing traffic over the short line cut to Los Angeles from the intermountain states, in summer as well as winter, justifies the extra investments in the opinion of the management.

The committee will give the matter attention in a few days when the walks will be ordered in as petitioned for by the Vine street residents. The city clerk was instructed to advertise for bids for the removal of street sweepings. The same will be found in another column. The finance committee reported having examined the various officers' reports, which were found correct, and audited demands against the city amounting to $4514.62, for which warrants were ordered drawn upon the treasury.

Jones Gives a Number of Ways to Exterminate Pest and Lessen Chance of Damage The mealy bug, though having been present in citrus orchards and on other growths for a long time, has only within the last three or four years assumed an importance in the estimation of the citrus growers which would entitle it to very serious consideration as a pest which must at least be controlled and should be eradicated entirely if that can be accomplished by reasonable means. As to the damage caused by them, the honey-dew similar to that of the black scale always accompanies them and in cases of bad infestation the trees cannot but be injured; not only from the exhaustion caused by the feeding of the insects, but by the coating of honey-dew and the accompanying smut on the leaves and fruit, and the binding of them together by the woolly masses which are always present, especially when the infestation is of the citri variety. In the case of the navel orange, it is very difficult to free the navel cavity from the insects at packing time, and if they remain on the fruit in the boxes they continue to increase and a very unpleasant and objectionable appearance may result. On lemons this latter trouble is not so marked as the fruit has no navel cavity and the washer frees it pretty thoroughly from the bugs, though some may remain on any fruit beneath the stem part in spite of the most thorough washing. There is no doubt that the most thorough attempts should be undertaken in every community of citrus growers to control the mealy bugs, GOVERNMENT CROP REPORT A summary of the June crop report for the state of California and for the United States, as compiled by the Bureau of Crop Estimates and transmitted through the Weather bureau, U.S. department of agriculture, is as follows: All Wheat—State: June 1 forecast, 4,380,000 bushels; production last year 7,040,000 bushels. U.S. 715,000,000 bushels; production last year, 1,011,505,000 bushels. Oats—State: June 1 forecast, 5,700,000 bushels; production last year, 6,693,000 bushels. U.S. 189,000,000 bushels; production last year, 237,009,000 bushels. Hay—State: June 1 condition 75, compared with the eight-year average of 84. U.S. June 1 condition 90.3, compared with the eight-year average of 87.6. Pasture—State: June 1 condition 76, compared with the ten-year average of 88. U.S. June 1 condition 93.4 compared with the ten year average of 89.0. Apples—June 1 forecast, 1,710,000 barrels; production last year, 1,563,000 barrels. U.S. 73,200,000 barrels. A very unpleasant and objectionable appearance may result. On lemons this latter trouble is not so marked as the fruit has no navel cavity and the washer frees it pretty thoroughly from the bugs, though some may remain on any fruit beneath the stem part in spite of the most thorough washing. There is no doubt that the most thorough attempts should be undertaken in every community of citrus growers to control the mealy bugs, and special means will be required to achieve adequate results. Fumigation, as practiced for scale, while killing some of the medium sized insects, very often falls to get the old ones and is practically harmless to the eggs protected as they are by their cottony covering; however, if the fumigation is repeated before the young bugs hatched from the eggs are large enough to begin depositing eggs again (say in six weeks) and repeated at these intervals until all of the eggs are hatched, excellent results can be obtained as the very old, resistant bugs missed the first time will die naturally within the period. This has been demonstrated several times to my knowledge; but in the case of large infestations the growers are loath to incur the expense of several fumigations, hoping to accomplish the desired result more cheaply. Through frequent and persistent fumigation is much the most effective treatment for these insects and the most satisfactory in the end. As to spray, several kinds are recommended and are more or less effective. Probably the best is the carbolic acid emulsion composed of: Whale oil soap ...40 lbs. Crude carbolic acid ...5 gal. Water to make ...40 gal. Boil 20 minutes. Each gallon to be diluted with 20 gallons of water for use. A new spray which has been perfected and is recommended by R. S. Woglum, who gave us the Woglum fumigation schedule, but which has not yet been so fully tried out as the other consists of a distillate emulsion to which is added a compound of cresolic acid. We hope within a short time to be able to give the formula more completely for general use. All sprays, however, are open to the objection that in the thick foliage of the citrus trees all parts of the branches and foliage are never reached by the liquid, and more or less of the insects, according to the thorough- A home is an asset.

Growers are no doubt often deceived by the scarcity of the bugs at this time into the belief that the infestation is decreasing and the control measures are thus delayed beyond the time when they would be most effective.

David Bertsch left Saturday for Kansas City, Kansas, his old home. He will be gone several months. All sprays, however, are open to the objection that in the thick foliage of the citrus trees all parts of the branches and foliage are never reached by the liquid, and more or less of the insects, according to the thoroughness of the work, escape on these untouched surfaces. An eradication can probably in most cases be brought about by repeating the spray a number of times, varying with the thoroughness of the application. I believe anybody having only a portion of his grove affected would be well repaid for the loss of the use of those trees for one or two seasons, if he would cut them back sufficiently to remove all of the foliage; in which case every part of the tree could be thoroughly drenched and thus make a complete eradication and prevent the rest of his grove from becoming infested. Extreme measures should be employed by the packing house authorities and others having control of the picking boxes, that they be thoroughly fumigated before sending out after mealy bug infested fruit has been transported in them, and similar precautions regarding clothing, picking bags and tools of the pickers should certainly be observed after picking an infested grove. Like many other insects the numbers of mealy bugs are very much less late in the winter and early in the spring than later in the season when warm weather accelerates their breeding. The same measures taken in March and April will undoubtedly produce much greater results than if Surplus cockerels should be marketed as soon as possible advises R. M. Sherwood, poultry specialist, division of extension, Kansas state agricultural college. "All young male chickens that are not intended for breeding purposes should oe either sold as broilers or caponized," says Mr. Sherwood. "The thing to keep in mind is that the longer a cockerel is held after he has reached the broiler stage the less is his actual value as a market product. Only in special cases should the cockerels of the Leghorn breed be caponized. Breeds of the heavier types, such as Plymouth Rocks or Rhode Island Reds can be caponized with profit. "If the cockerels are not marketed at this time into the belief that the infestation is decreasing and the control measures are thus delayed beyond the time when they would be most effective. It is especially important for any grower who has mealy bug infestation to begin treatment at once and continue it vigorously until, if possible, they are gotten rid of, and persistence in the work is especially advisable if only a small portion of the grove is affected. If the infestation is general through the whole grove pretty satisfactory control can be had, particularly in the case of lemons, by thoroughly washing down the trees with cold water applied under pressure by a spraying machine and repeated as necessary. This will, however, never eradicate them, and quite possibly it has a tendency to spread them to the clean trees adjoining, to which they will crawl on the ground after having been washed from the trees."
