ACCURATE CROP STATISTICS REQUIRED STATE HORTICULTURAL COMMISSIONER ASKS COUNTY COMMISSIONERS FOR ASSISTANCE A NEW LADYBEETLE WHICH DESTROYS THE MEALYBUG HAS BEEN DISCOVERED The following communication has been addressed to every county horticultural commissioner in California: Preparedness is the slogan of the hour. Gov. Stephens rightly sounded the alarm when he called for our serious consideration concerning the dangerous military prospective for California. The Federal government also is exercising its power to provide for the military needs, and cooperating under it, the United States department of agriculture is making a close survey of the agricultural resources of the states for the purpose of providing for emergencies in case of a serious shortage of food products. We can help our own state directly and the United States indirectly, by securing the most accurate data obtainable on California crop conditions. We should not confine ourselves to the fruit products alone but should include also, as correctly as possible, the probable production of agricultural field crops. Joaquin; Hemet valley reports some damage to apricots; Kings county is so close that authorities do not agree; Fresno reports but slight damage to peaches, and all down the line the average would indicate that with continued favorable conditions the crop of fruit and nuts in the state for 1917 would be one of the largest in its history. Commissioner Hecke expects to issue a more complete crop report in a few days. The state commissioner has succeeded in arousing the enthusiasm of potato producers. His first impulse was to run a "potato special" through the potato producing districts, but because of the cost of equipment the plan was abandoned, temporarily, at least and community meetings must serve the purpose. These meetings are being addressed by Hon. Eugene H. Grubb, the nationally known potato expert of Colorado, and Geo. P. Weldon, deputy state commissioner of horticulture. Mr. Grubb was authorized a few years ago by the United States government to take a trip to Europe and make a study of conditions affecting the culture and production of potatoes. For the past fifteen years he has been recognized as the foremost authority in the United States, if not in the world. He illustrates his addresses with lantern slides showing the proper method of soil preparation, planting, care and harvesting. More than this his lecture is profitable to growers because it gives them detailed knowledge in the matter of classification of the product for the market. Mr. Weldon is familiar with local conditions in the state and the addresses of the two men represent a valuable exposition of potato culture in all its various phases. Meetings increased very greatly shortage—in some price as high as have been able to our supplies at once over the previous is purchased strictly purposes and for u ping through the Growers' Exchange.

We should not confine ourselves to the fruit products alone but should include also, as correctly as possible, the probable production of agricultural field crops. Your reports which make possible the reports of the California state commission of horticulture are regarded by the bureau of crop statistics of the department of agriculture as being the most reliable of any state reports, and representatives of the bureau have several times complimented our system of gathering this information. Let us resolve not only to live up to this well deserved reputation, but also make a particularly strong effort this year to be more careful and exact than ever before. Send your first report to this office on time, sure. Then arrange to make supplementary reports each month, showing changes brought about by climatic condition, corrected acreage, or other factors. You will be surprised to learn how well your prominent bodies, your farm advisors and your newspapers will cooperate with you, and how quickly the value and importance of your reports will be recognized. Appeal to your board of supervisors for assistance if you need it. Under existing conditions they will also appreciate the spirit of patriotism which prompts you to an extra strong effort to serve your state and county, and they will without doubt approve of your action. I am sure that we can count on you as county horticultural commissioners to do your duty. State Horticultural Commissioner Hecke is in receipt of the information from Harry S. Smith, superintendent of the insectary division of the commission and at present engaged in establishing our new Southern California branch at Alhambra, that he has found the new ladybeetle, breeding on the citrophilus mealy bug at Upland. This new ladybeetle was introduced by Mr. Smith from the Philippine islands, and coming from a tropical country, it has been feared that it would be unable to survive the colder California winters.

Meetings were held at Sacramento, Placerville and Grass Valley. FISHY STORY TOLD BY FULLERTON MAN Declared he was Robbed, but His Tale Proves Imagination A telegram received Saturday morning by City Marshal French of Fullerton punctured the balloon blown up by F. G. Bond when with wild excitement he aroused Fullerton officers at 4:30 o'clock in the morning. Bond said two bandits broke into his room, bound, gagged and drugged him, and robbed him of two sight drafts totaling $14,300. He said the drafts were given him by J. W. Ross of Modesto. Ross has wired that he gave Bond no drafts. Bond has been living at 218½ East Commonwealth, and has been employed at a lumber yard in Fullerton. Saturday he said that when the two masked bandits threw their flashlights on him, he reached for his revolver. One of the desperadoes jumped on his arm. They tied him tight and forced some kind of bitter drug into his mouth. They held a revolver to his head and told him to endorse the drafts. He refused. He told them to go ahead and shoot. They did not shoot, but they put the drafts into their jeans and left. They also took $2 and his revolver. Though Bond depicted a terrific struggle, he was free of bruises. He said he got the drafts Friday in Los Angeles from J. W. Ross of Modesto far a ranch in Stanislaus county. Marshal French wired the bank and Ross. The bank in substance replied that the tale was fishy. Ross wired that he had given no drafts or checks or anything else to Bond.

This new ladybeetle was introduced by Mr. Smith from the Philippine islands and coming from a tropical country, it has been feared that it would be unable to survive the colder California winters. It is especially gratifying to find this ladybeetle at work destroying the new citrophilus mealy bug, since it seems to be somewhat less affected by natural enemies than the other species of mealybugs at the present time. An effort will be made to breed this ladybeetle in large numbers at the Southern California branch especially for liberation in citrus orchards infested with the mealybug mentioned above in the Upland and Riverside sections, and it is believed that the ladybeetle can be made of considerable value to the growers if the ants can be kept off the trees. Reports thus far available says the commissioner's office, indicate that but slight damage has resulted from the frosts and rains during the past month. While a few sections report a 50 per cent loss, others claim no harm has been done, and admit in a general way that the loss sustained amounts to little more than proper thinning would entail. Reports received at the office of the commissioner are, as a rule, generally optimistic. Almonds show but a slight falling off from the normal, and this may result in a crop above the normal when the harvest is reached, as is frequently the case. In some places peaches show a slight decrease, but the general average is above the normal condition. Stanislaus and Santa Barbara counties show normal conditions; Madera admits slight damage to apricots; peaches and apricots are said to have been pinched a little in lower San He said he got the drafts Friday in Los Angeles from J. W. Ross of Modesto far a ranch in Stanislaus county. Marshal French wired the bank and Ross. The bank in substance replied that the tale was fishy. Ross wired that he had given no drafts or checks or anything else to Bond. WILL MAKE OUR OWN CYANIDE "Manufacturers of cyanide are optimistic over the prospect for this year's supply," states Mr. A. M. Mortensen, manager of the Grut Growers' Supply Company, who recently returned from the East, according to the Sunkist Courier. The Roessler and Hasslacher Chemical company, which, according to Mr. Mortensen, is the only large manufacturer of cyanide in this country, believes that with the completion of their new plants early in June, they will be able to supply enough cyanide to meet all demands for fumigation purposes. "Shipments of cyanide will be late in starting because actual manufacture must await the completion of the new sodium plant at Perth Amboy, New Jersey," said Mr. Mortensen. "Sodium heretofore has been manufactured at Niagara Falls and the factory at that point relied upon Canadian companies for power, which was suddenly cut off by order of the British government. No other power being available there, the manufacturers thought best to erect a new plant for the manufacture of sodium in New Jersey, where their hydrocyanic acid plant is already located and where ample power is available. "We expect the first shipments this season to reach here late in June, after which they will come forward in good volume until our contract has been completely filled. While the price of cyanide in the open market has in- Anaheim Gazette creased very greatly, owing to the shortage—in some cases reaching a price as high as $2 per pound—we have been able to make a contract for our supplies at only a slight advance over the previous year. This supply is purchased strictly for fumigation purposes and for use by growers shipping through the California Fruit Growers' Exchange." THE NEW GRAND "THE GIRL PHILIPPA" Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, April 8—9—10 CHAMBERS' NOVEL IN FILM Anita Stewart in Splendid Role, Based On Powerful Story The long awaited motion picture showing of "The Girl Philippa" is at hand. This Robert W. Chambers' story, superbly staged under the supervision of Albert E. Smith, president of Greater Vitagraph, and with dainty Anita Stewart starred in the title role, is all ready. It will open at the New Grand Sunday. The furore created by "The Girl Philippa" when it ran, a short time ago, as a serial story in The Cosmopolitan magazine, is fresh in the memory of all. To every one of the millions of readers of the Cosmopolitan, the stirring adventures of the wistful Philippa became a household topic the world over. This story has now been absorbingly developed, through the eloquent magic of the screen, by Greater Vitagraph. To it it devoted a wealth of picturesque costumes, faithful and GOVERNMENT SUGGESTS ECONOMY IN MILLING Agricultural Department Makes Some Valuable Suggestions A suggestion that American millers might render a great public service in the campaign to prevent a war shortage of food by converting into flour a greater percentage of milled wheat was made in an authorized statement by Carl Vrooman, assistant secretary of agriculture. He pointed out that, while the present milling standard in this county converts only about 72 per cent of the wheat berry into flour, England has adopted an 81 per cent standard; Italy, 85 per cent; Switzerland, 80 per cent; and France 77 per cent, and all of the belligerents are making bread from wheat flour mixed with rye, barley, corn and potato flour. In his statement, Mr. Vrooman said an 85 per cent milling standard would in effect increase the wheat supply by 60,000,000 bushels, and a 90 per cent standard would add 87,000,000 bushels. Use of 25 per cent substitute for flour in baking he added would bring the total saving to 125,000,000 bushels. "Now before necessity pinches us, these are facts which should be considered in all their possible practical bearings," the statement continued. "It is stated on reliable authority that 85 per cent wheat flour can be manufactured in our mills without changing their machinery. The most serious industrial change would be that the millers could no longer sell flour according to their well known brands. "The European millers, however, have patriotically subordinated their business interest to the interest of the country as a whole, and I believe if the United States were to adopt a has been a record breaker and the spawning fish have been favored with weather made to order. The protection from early fishing will increase the trout supply by t thousands in this stream. Many local anglers have scoffed at the idea of steelhead entering streams so small as the San Juan or Trabuca. When told that many steelhead had been seen in these streams they declare it all bunk and claimed that the fish would not come up these streams to spawn. Steelhead trout have gone up both San Juan and Trabuca this season. There have been several large fish found stranded in the shallows and some reported killed by well aimed rocks. County Game Warden Adkinson has felt that his presence might help some unscrupulous citizens from falling for the temptations offered by these big spawning fish and he is patrolling these streams carefully. Sometimes the very thought of a game warden is a great help in persuading the near erring to keep from fracturing the law and it is hoped that the big fish will be encouraged rather than killed. SPLENDID ENTERTAINMENT AT THE HIGH SCHOOL Foreign Language Classes Give Comedies in Spanish and German The foreign language classes of the Anaheim high school gave an entertainment at the auditorium Friday night, a large and appreciative audience being present. The program consisted of a Spanish and a German comedy and a number of songs in Spanish German and Latin. Following is the program: PART I SONGS Philippa" when it ran, a short time ago, as a serial story in The Cosmopolitan magazine, is fresh in the memory of all. To every one of the millions of readers of the Cosmopolitan, the stirring adventures of the wistful Philippa became a household topic the world over. This story has now been absorbingly developed, through the eloquent magic of the screen, by Greater Vita-graph. To it is devoted a wealth of picturesque costumes, faithful and beautiful scenery, a star cast led by the incomparable Anita Stewart herself, and the masterful direction of S. Rankin Drew. The result is an eight-reel motion picture classic. The plot is fundamentally fascinating. Philippa, a girl of aristocratic mold, is discovered as the serving maid in an obscure cafe, somewhere in France. She sparkles, a jewel against a background of infinite world tragedy—at once baffling and piquant. A burly animal of a task master, the host of the tavern, Wildresse, holds the key to her past and to her future. Into this seething environment, fate draws conflicting personalities from the capitals of the earth, after which the plot spins dizzily about the frail central figure of the girl herself. Back in her childhood there was a fatal catesthrope in a Galkan kingdom. In France she is living a really bizarre, but on the surface prosalic life. Come now Warner, the American artist; also Halkett and Gray, the Englishmen; Hoffman, the Teuton; Asticot the Paris safe blower and Apache, and spies and courlers, gendarmes and armies. The powder train burns merrilly. A hostile foreign power has stolen the secret of a war engine divulged to Great Britain by Americans. Halkett and Gray, secret agents of England, are dispatched to recover the plans. Warner, an innocent dreamer in the meadows of Ausone, is electrically dragged into the plotting. After several encounters the plans are recovered and part of them entrusted to Warner. At once Philippa becomes the first antagonist in his new made peril. She is a spy! Love solves the danger of the young hero, but doubles it for Philippa. She spies now for him—at the risk of her own life. The intrigue is turned from now on against her. She naively transfers herself to the protection of Warner. Wildresse, the master spy, is folled by her when she used. "It is stated on reliable authority that 85 per cent wheat flour can be manufactured in our mills without changing their machinery. The most serious industrial change would be that the millers could no longer sell flour according to their well known brands. "The European millers, however, have patriotically subordinated their business interest to the interest of the country as a whole, and I believe if the United States were to adopt a 'war bread' policy that our millers would gladly cooperate. "'War bread' or bread made from whole wheat flour is, for many people, more healthful than white bread." Any resulting shortage in bran, shorts and middlings for cattle feed could be made up by cottonseed meal, corn meal, tankage, alfalfa meal, clover, cow peas and soy beans, Mr. Vrooman said. He pointed out that whole wheat flour can be made cheaply at home by grinding wheat in a small hand gristmill a practice which the department of agriculture has long recommended. TROUT FISHING WILL BE EXCEPTIONALLY GOOD Anglers Looking Forward to a Rare Season of Sport If the rainfall and other weather conditions had been subject to order, a more favorable season than the present could not have been had for trout. There are always many pre-season predictions of a bountiful trout season but most of these stories are put out either directly or indirectly by someone connected with the state fish and game commission and they are often sent out when the conditions do not warrant them. This is one way in which the interest in troup propagation is kept up and the commission can be excused for any such exaggeration for it is doing good service to the trout fisherman and also conducting a campaign of education to make the people alive to the necessity of stocking the streams at the same time. The coming season will live up to the most optimistic pre-season prophecies. Never has there been such an abundance of young fish. The planted fry seem all to have lived and the native fish enjoyed a wonderful spawning season. Any day hundreds of little trout can be seen in any of the local trout streams and these little fish...

Wildresse, the master spy, is foiled by her when she burns some of the papers he has stolen from the artist. The ruffian would have died with the secret of the girl Philippa locked in his bullet ridden breast, had not the appealing beauty of the girl melted him. Before he meets his fate, he divulges to her that she is a princess, that he alded in assassinating her parents. He had purposely spared her and escaped with her to France, where he reared her with an eye to making future profit out of her existence. Philippa, once cabaret cashier, now has her true name and rank. Warner, her champion, is but a plebian. The blood royal flows in her veins, and he hangs his head in despair. For he has loved her madly, hopefully. And now— But this is the sublime romance of a sublime woman and it ends as it should, sublimely.

CARD OF THANKS We wish to offer our sincere thanks to the friends and neighbors for the help, sympathy and for the beautiful floral offerings given during the sickness and burial of Mrs. Langdon. J. K. Langdon, Husband; Mrs. Pearl Davis, daughter; Mrs. Rilla Cook, sister. The coming season will live up to the most optimistic pre-season prophecles. Never has there been such an abundance of young fish. The planted fry seem all to have lived and the native fish enjoyed a wonderful spawning season. Any day hundreds of little trout can be seen in any of the local trout streams and these little fish will all be of a catchabe size by the first of May. The interest in trout fishing has been growing by leaps and bounds during the past three or four years in Southern California and the thousands of dollars spent on hatcheries for trout were invested none too soon. There is no end to the good that may be accomplished in the re-stocking plans of the state and an inexhaustible supply of trout will continually flow each year from hatchery to the streams. The principle drawback to most of our southern streams is their size. It is hard to "fish out" a large stream where the very quantity of the flow affords protection for the greedy trout from the temptation of the salmon egg. It is not the large streams that need the careful re-stocking but the small one, where trout gather in the pools and fall ready prey to the wiles of the angler with his many lures and baits. These small streams will receive far more attention and the quota of fish per stream will be far greater with the increase of trout production in the future. Already plans are being formed for re-stocking of local streams and a carefully organized campaign is being prepared to see that Orange county gets its share of young fish. It is claimed that the run of steel-heads in the Ventura river this year when invaders seize their land will be told by William Kelly Prentice, professor of Greek in Princeton university, in the lectures on "The Ancient Greeks—their literature and life," which he is to give at the approaching summer session of the University of California from June 25 to August 4.

For five centuries this prosperity continued, then came an inundation of conquering invaders who submerged the Christian civilization of the land. First it was the Persians. These Persian invaders not only destroyed cities, but cut down the olive orchards and uprooted the vineyards. Then came a tidal wave of Mohammedan invasion and the Arab tribes put an end forever to the Christian civilization of Syria. Besides the Oriental invasions which the Cyrian Christians were unprepared resist, the Syrians had prepared their ruin in another way—they had cut down the forests on the mountain sides, and in consequence the torrential rains had washed away the soil. So irremedial was the ruin wrought by failure to protect the forest cover of the mountains that vast stretches of Syria are today bare mountain side and sterile desert which sixteen centuries ago were among the most productive farming lands of the ancient world—a lesson California hill side farmers may well heed. Strange glimpses of the life of this ancient world in Syria, ruled in turn by Hittites, Babylonians, Greeks, Romans and Persians, and then submerged by Moslem invasion, are given by the monumental collection of Greek and Latin inscriptions which Prof. Prentice has published. Himself trained in Germany for historical investigation, by Prof. Eduard Meyer of Berlin, the most famous living authority on the ancient world, Prof. Prentice has interpreted and expounded with a wealth of historical background the hundreds of unknown Greek and Latin inscriptions which he himself discovered in Syria. Many ancient inscriptions were carved, not from motives of piety, as might appear from their liturgical wording, but for purposes of magic.

OYSTER LOAF BOWLERS DEFEATED BY HAS-BEENS Champions of League Lose to Down- And-Outs by 187 Pins That the "Has-Beens" are occasionally capable of coming back and giving a good account of themselves was demonstrated one night last week at the Club bowling alleys when the Oyster Loaf team, champions of the Sunkist league, were decisively defeated by a bunch of the old-limers. Messrs. Meler, Handlemann, Efker, Schultz and Rassmussen compose the Oyster Loaf team, and having won the championship with ease they promptly accepted the challenge when the Has-Beens proposed a game, the losing side to pay for the eats at the Oyster Loaf cafe. The challenging team was made up of Chillie Fisher, Pete Wisser, Carl Vanatta, Marvin Cowan and Charlie Graham. The champs lost all three of the games, and when the total was footed up they were 187 pins behind. The supper will be given the winners some night this week, after which another game will be arranged. The rooting of Manager Tom Warnock of the Has-Beens was one of the features of the game. MOVIE LOTTERIES PROHIBITED Moving picture show tickets that carry with them a chance upon gifts of any kind are prohibited by the state law against the operation of lotteries.

So also over a doorway at Seidjully Prof. Prentice discovered a magical charm—the Greek letters "H N A." The Greeks had no separate characters for the numbers, but expressed numbers by letters. These letters, "H N A" have a numerical value of 8051. This also is the sum of the numerical value of the letters of a verse from the Psalms when inquiry was made at that office.
