DEPARTMENT OF NEW FORESTY IN U. OF C. LUMBER PROBLEMS TO BE TAKEN UP AND STUDIED AT STATE INSTITUTION TWENTY-EIGHT MILLION ACRES OF FOREST LAND IN CALIFORNIA WANTS INVESTIGATION The twenty-eight million acres of forest in California bristle with problems for investigation. The University of California has now completed the organization of a new department of forestry in order to try to help solve them. Efficiency methods in logging need to be developed by stop-watch observations and motion studies. To reduce the cost of logging by ten cents per thousand board feet would save $125,000 a year, or an increase in the value of California timber of $39,000,000. Nobody knows yet how fast California trees grow. The division of forestry wants to find out, so that the state, counties, towns and railroad, lumber and water power companies can devise wise policies for growing permanent crops of timber on the vast acreage unsuited for other purposes. Volume tables need to be compiled showing the contents of standing trees of various sizes and species. Such tables do not yet exist. The University wants to train specialists in tropical forestry, to solve the conifers which are among the largest and oldest tree plantations in the western United States. The forestry department is already well equipped and has a good library. Excellent engineering facilities are afforded by the departments of mechanical, electrical and civil engineering. In Hilgard hall, the new agricultural building now being built from the university building bonds, will be spacious quarters for the division of forestry, including laboratories for general forestry, forest utilization and wood technology, drafting and blue print rooms, a herbarium, five rooms for research, an instrument room, supply rooms, and six offices. The forestry students enjoy also all the varied privileges of the university in the way of scientific laboratories, library, infirmary, gymnasium, athletic fields, and stimulating association with the more than six thousand other students. SONS OF THE POOR HAVE AN ADVANTAGE Dr. Wilbur of Stanford says Wealthy Boys are Handicapped Wealth is a handicap to the college student and the poor boy has the advantage, according to Dr. Ray Lyman Wilbur, president of Lealand Stanford University, in a statement recently. As a consequence of this belief, Dr. Wilbur decreed that beginning this year autos may not be owned by students; that too frequent dances, the purchase of expensive flowers for co-eds and similar luxuries will be banned. Dr. Wilbur is so convinced he is right about this that he has sent a circular letter to students' parents saying students with too much money are not desired at the school, if they are inclined to spend their time in serious of households of several of the departments of agriculture bulletin it is statingities of the ant witch household alone trolling it would cult, but the fact that it protects bugs and aphids, corn, and sugar cane become a pest to her fact that it is in all direction man control still more difficult.

Volume tables need to be compiled showing the contents of standing trees of various sizes and species. Such tables do not yet exist. The University wants to train specialists in tropical forestry, to solve the problems of the vast forests of Central and South America and the Orient, storehouses of untouched wealth. It was in response to urgent demands from the lumber interests of California and the Pacific Logging Congress that the University organized its division of forestry, with a faculty of two professors of forestry, Walter Mulford and David Townsend Mason and three assistant professors, Donald Bruce, Merritt B. Pratt and Woodbridge Metcalf. The announcement of the new courses in forestry, just issued by the University and obtainable by writing to Dean Thomas F. Hunt of the college of agriculture, at Berkeley, show that besides a four year course in general forestry the University has started this year a new course in forest engineering. The former will train men for work in the national forests or in forests privately owned, and the forest utilization course for the lumber business. Each gives a thorough training in forestry, with much field work. The general forestry course is based on the fundamental biological sciences, while the forest utilization course emphasizes mathematics, physics, mechanics, and other special training for forest or logging engineers. Students may, if they wish, take a five year combined course. A new Short Course is to be given from January 15 to April 7, with training for rangers, fire guards and employees of lumber companies in surveying and mapping, forest administration, improvements, protection, and mensuration, silviculture, logging and grazing; and lectures by the U. S. Forest Service officers. All the forestry students are to have much practical training out in the forest. A summer camp will be maintained, for eleven weeks each year, where students will be drilled in timber estimating, forest mapping, scaling, the study of tree growth, woodmanship and the planning of logging operations. WALNUT GROWERS FIX PRICE OF SEASON'S CROP Increase of 15 per Cent Above Last Year's Figures The California Walnut Grover All the forestry students are to have much practical training out in the forest. A summer camp will be maintained, for eleven weeks each year, where students will be drilled in timber estimating, forest mapping, scaling, the study of tree growth, woodmanship and the planning of logging operations. Wonderful opportunities are available in California for practical field work. There is as much forest in California as farm land. The twenty-eight million acres of forest in California contain nearly 380 billion board feet. Because of the heavy rain fall and long growing season, California timber grows with unusual rapidity and to unusual size. The twenty million acres of national forest in the eighteen national forests in California are now devoted to the permanent production of timber. While a billion and a quarter feet of lumber are cut in California annually, it would take 300 years to exhaust the present virgin supply, even making no allowance for growth. The University predicts a great expansion of the lumber industry and an increasing demand for highly trained foresters and forest engineers. The University itself owns five thousand acres of virgin redwood in Humboldt county, given by Mrs. Hooper as endowment for the George Williams Hooper Foundation for Medical Research; the 320 acres of Whitaker's forest containing an excellent stand of big trees, where forestry investigations are being carried on by the university; and near the Berkeley campus are several thousand acres of privately owned plantations of eucalyptus and walnut growers' association on Wednesday met in Los Angeles and fixed the price of walnuts for this season at a figure considerably above that of last year. The crop, it is announced, is 20 per cent below that of last year. The wholesale prices announced following the meeting are: For No.1 soft shells, 15½ cents per pound; for No.2, soft shells, 12½ cents; for Jumbo, 17½ cents; and for budden nuts, 19 cents. Prices in the same grades last year were, respectively, 13.6 cents 11 cents; 16.6 cents and 16 cents. The present crop is reported to be the best, in point of quality, in years. Favorable weather conditions have resulted in the earliest shipments in history according to Secy. Thorpe. The nuts are running well to uniform sizes and are above grade. Mr. Thorpe says, and there is less than 6 per cent waste. The first special train shipment of walnuts in the history of California, according to officials of the association left over the Santa Fe Wednesday enroute to Chicago, with approximately $100,000 worth of nuts loaded into 25 cars. In the opinion of officials of the association this marks an epoch in the industry. The predicted value of the present crop is approximately the same as in 1915, $4,000,000. It is estimated California growers will ship about 24,440,- WALNUT GROWERS FIX PRICE OF SEASON'S CROP Increase of 15 per Cent Above Last Year's Figures The California Walnut Growers' association on Wednesday met in Los Angeles and fixed the price of walnuts for this season at a figure considerably above that of last year.

In a new bulletin it is stated that if the activities of the ant were confined to the household alone the problem of controlling it would be sufficiently difficult, but the fact that, like some other ants, it protects and attends mealy bugs and aphids, which infest cotton, corn, and sugar cane fields, and thus become a pest to crops, and the further fact that it is steadily spreading in all direction make the problem of control still more difficult. It is practically certain, states the bulletin, that the Argentine ant was introduced into this country at New Orleans in ships from Brazilian ports. It was first observed in that city in 1891, and at present it is distributed throughout portions of nine southern states. There are three forms of the Argentien ant, the worker, the male or drone and the queen, all of a dark brown color. The worker is about 1-10 inch in length, the male is somewhat larger and has wings, while the queen is nearly three times as large as the worker. Because of its small size and inconspicuous color, the worker is able to invade nearly every part of ordinary buildings. Any exposed food or food refuse attracts the workers, and the bulletin states that residents and keepers of grocery stores, meat markets, confectioneries, etc., must either suffer considerably or almost constantly use poison or barriers of various kinds.

Bear Lake, although already teaming with fish, received 386,000 more fry, the last 106,000 being emptied at time of closing the hatchery July 17, as it was impossible then to get over the Mill Creek road with the trucks to upper Santa Ana where these fish had been allotted. So the state fish car was sent south from the big mother hatchery at Sisson with 120,000 rainbow, steelhead and eastern brook trout for the Santa Ana and its tributaries. For the benefit of angling licensees who wish to know where these fish were planted by the Fish and Game Commission in its efforts to repair the storm scouring of last January, W. H.

Any exposed food or food refuse attracts the workers, and the bulletin states that residents and keepers of grocery stores, meat markets, confectioneries, etc., must either suffer considerably or almost constantly use poison or barriers of various kinds. The farmer, nurseryman and truck grower find scale insects and aphids more troublesome because of the protection the ant gives to insects depositing honeydew. Three methods of controlling the insect are discussed in the bulletin—the use of barriers, poisons and traps. Ant Barriers—In grossly infested houses much relief may be secured by isolating tables, refrigerators, safes, beds, etc., with bichlorid of mercury tape, but extreme care should be taken in using this poison. Placing the legs of articles of furniture in saucers filled with moth balls or coal oil is a simple and efficient barrier. Trees, beehive stands, and other outdoor objects may be isolated with the sticky substance used on fly paper but made thinner than usual. If 5 per cent of carbolized oil be added, the durability of the bands will be considerably increased. Ant poisons—Strong antimony or arsenical sirops, a number of which are sold by druggists, are used to keep the ants from buildings. They give quick relief for short periods, but are not a factor in the reduction of the infestation. The only effective poisons yet known for permanent control are polished sirops. An arsenical sirup is recommended in the bulletin which will not spoil and which is superior to any other formula yet tested on account of its stability at high temperatures, freedom from crystallization, and continued attractiveness. Trapping ants—Ants may be trapped by providing boxes of decaying vegetation in the winter. The colonies will move into these boxes and the ants may then be killed with carbon bisulphid.

The farm woodlots of the United States contain about 10 per cent of the total standing timber of the country. Grazing experts of the forest service estimate that the cost of producing lambs in the northwestern states is $1.82 per head. The bark of black oak, or yellow oak as it is often called on account of the color of the inner bark is now used for dye-making. The stand of timber on the two great national forests in Alaska is estimated by the forest service as over 70 billion board feet, while the annual growth will, it is said produce of pulpwood alone enough for the manufacture of three thousand tons of wood pulp a day. Oak is the most suitable wood for carving, on account of its durability and toughness, without being too hard. Chestnut, American walnut, mahogany and teak are also desirable, while for fine work Italian walnut, lime, sycamore, apple, pear or plum are generally chosen.

Lake visited the river and inspected it from the Olive bridge to below the break in the banks last winter, and on returning home issued the following statement: "We found the bed of the river much higher than the land on the west bank, and decided that we need about one-half mile of new levee built, while about a mile of the old levee is in fair shape but needs repairing. We also found a man cutting off the old piling along the bank, making wood out of them. These pilling cost about $10 apiece driven in the ground. Pretty expensive wood. This is what we get for doing work on land other people own." "We decided to build half a mile of new levee, 6 feet wide 4 feet high. Face this with bean straw and brush; then set 3x4-10 posts 10 feet apart; put on wire 4 feet high (some kind of woven wire); then put big trees in front of the fence to keep the current turned out into the channel of the river. It will cost close to $1000 to buy the wire, posts, sacks, trees and bean straw that we need, besides building the levee, setting the posts, putting on the wire, etc. We also want to cut all the weeds and brush out of the riv- er channel so that the water will have a clean sweep.
