WORK FOR ERADICATION CITRUS CANKER Dr. Kellerman Chief of Bureau of Plant Industry Tells of Results For a little more than two years the federal government and the gulf states have been engaged in a joint campaign for the purpose of eradicating from the United States the disease of citrus fruit trees and trees called citrus canker. This undertaking is unique in character in that it is the first instance of the use of federal funds appropriated specifically for the eradication of a plant disease. It is of overwhelming importance to the citrus industry because citrus canker has been recognized as the most contagious of all known plant diseases and the most destructive to commercial values. Citrus canker is probably a native of Korea or China from where it was introduced into Japan. In 1913 and 1914 efforts were made by the state inspectors to check the spread by complete defoliation and applications of strong Bordeaux. These treatments were ineffectual. The plan of spraying infected trees with oil and burning them was then originated. This was first done by private subscription. Later the secretary of agriculture recognized the fact that a severe epidemic menaced the citrus industry, promulgated a quarantine and appealed to congress for aid. The federal horticultural board cooperating with officials of the gulf states made a rapid inspection. The disease was studied in laboratories of the U.S. department of agriculture and the state experiment stations. "If a tree is found to be infected with citrus canker the wisest course to pursue is to burn it at once. This method of eradication is used through States Geological survey, department of the interior. Reports submitted by 53 railroad companies, comprising all that operate oil burning locomotives in the United States, show that the quantity of oil fuel so consumed last year was 42,126,417 barrels, a gain of 5,477,951 barrels, or 15 per cent over the consumption in 1915. This increase shows the steady expansion in the United States of the market for low grade petroleum from Mexico rather than any appreciable increase in the use as fuel of low-gravity crude oils from domestic sources, whose value for refining is just beginning to be recognized. The total distance covered by oil-burning engines in 1916 was 140,434,566 miles, and the average distance covered per barrel of fuel consumed was 3.33 miles. Oil burning locomotives were operated in 1916 over 31,980 miles of track in 21 states. WINTER WHEAT CROP FIFTY MILLIONS SHORT Appeal Will be Made to School Children to Cultivate Vacant Ground Efforts of American farmers to bring this year's winter wheat crop to record productions for war time needs apparently have been defeated by severe weather conditions, and a crop of only 430,000,000 bushels is now expected. In forecasting that total the department of agriculture announced that the average condition of the crop on April 1 was the lowest ever recorded on that date. The production estimate was based on the assumption of average abandonment of acreage and average influence on the crop between now GERMAN RESIDENTS BECOMING Federal Law Prohibits While State o During a state or United States and impossible for any person to become a citizen of That is the law o and notice to that given County Clerk county by Richard missioner of natureton, D.

Of seventeen peppers set down for severe epidemic menaced the citrus industry, promulgated a quarantine and appealed to congress for aid. The federal horticultural board cooperating with officials of the gulf states made a rapid inspection. The disease was studied in laboratories of the U.S. department of agriculture and the state experiment stations. "If a tree is found to be infected with citrus canker the wisest course to pursue is to burn it at once. This method of eradication is used throughout the affected region of the south. Inspectors wear overalls which completely cover their regular clothes. These are disinfected in a 1 to 1000 solution of bichloride of mercury before entering and after leaving citrus property where the disease occurs. Shoes, hands and face are also disinfected. Cost of conducting work of this character is very heavy, but, in view of the magnitude of the industry involved, the total sums expended to the present time represent but a small fraction of one per cent of the capitalized values that are threatened, and the continuation of the work appear to be both essential and well justified. There remains always the hope that some less drastic method of combatting citrus canker may be discovered. ADVENTISTS WILL BUILD INTERMEDIATE SCHOOL Ten-Grade Institution to be Erected Near County Hospital Several meetings have already been held at the various churches among the Adventists of this county to consider the advisability of establishing an intermediate school where ten grades could be taught, employing at least three teachers. But the plans focused the most rapidly last Saturday night when Elder L. E. Brant who has oversight of the general work in Orange county, and Elder W. F. Martin of Riverside, president of the Southern California conference were in Garden Grove. The site has been selected, between that town and the county hospital. Over a thousand dollars was raised at the meeting there and it is expected that the remainder will soon be raised at the other churches when they are visited in behalf of the school. A modern four room building is planned, and a complete equipment is hoped for by fall. School gardening productions for war time needs apparently have been defeated by severe weather conditions, and a crop of only 430,000,000 bushels is now expected. In forecasting that total the department of agriculture announced that the average condition of the crop on April 1 was the lowest ever recorded on that date. The production estimate was based on the assumption of average abandonment of acreage and average influence on the crop between now and harvest time. Production of rye this year promises to establish a record, with 60,100,000 bushels. Farmers in the rye-growing states increased their acreage by 740,000 acres last autumn, foreseeing a demand for that cereal and higher prices because of the war. From present indications the combined winter wheat and rye harvest will be 490,000,000 bushels, compared with 529,127,000 bushels for those two crops last year. Winter wheat was sown last autumn on 40,090,000 acres, which is close to the largest acreage on record. The crop had a bad start in the important growing states and entered winter in poor condition. Insufficient snow covering during the winter and dry and windy weather killed much of the crop. Last year 481,744,000 bushels of wheat were harvested and 673,947,000 bushels were produced in 1915. Condition on April 1 was 63.4 per cent of a normal compared with 78.3 last year, 88.8 in 1915 and 86.2 the ten year average. The condition decreased 22.3 points from December 1 to April 1, compared with an average decline of four points in the last ten years between those dates. Condition of rye on April 1, was 86.0 per cent of a normal compared with 87.8 last year; 89.5 in 1915 and 89.6 the ten year average. Condition of winter wheat in the important growing states on April 1 was: Ohio, 80; Indiana, 65; Illinois 60; Missouri, 62; Nebraska, 35; Kansas, 45; Oklahoma, 7b. Much of the abandoned acreage will be planted to corn in the southern part of the belt and to spring wheat in the northern portion. Prevailing high prices for wheat are expected to spur farmers to place a large acreage under spring wheat and officials look for a record crop of that cereal. School children of the state will be urged to put under cultivation every productions for war time needs apparently have been defeated by severe weather conditions, and a crop of only 430,000,000 bushels is now expected.

Over a thousand dollars was raised at the meeting there and it is expected that the remainder will soon be raised at the other churches when they are visited in behalf of the school. A modern four room building is planned, and a complete equipment is hoped for by fall. School gardening will be one feature of the school. The little gardens the children have cared for this year have proved very successful, and more room is needed. Sloyd, wood work, and some other branches will be more extensively taught. Several intermediate schools have been established by these people in the last few years, and they have proved successful in more ways than one. Very thorough and satisfactory work is being done in them, and more students have access to the upper grades thru these schools than they would if they had to go to the academies. Prof. F. W. Gardner, educational superintendent of this conference has been here lately to discuss this matter, and expects to return in the near future to give more consideration to the subject. Prof. Max Hill of San Fernando is expected to visit there soon, and assist in planning for the new school. Auto transportation to the school will be provided by the various churches. OIL USED BY RAILROADS A decided increase in the use of petroleum as locomotive fuel by the railroads of the United States in 1916 is shown by statistics compiled under the supervision of John D. Northrop and just published by the United Ohio, 80; Indiana, 65; Illinois 60; Missouri, 62; Nebraska, 35; Kansas, 45; Oklahoma, 7b. Much of the abandoned acreage will be planted to corn in the southern part of the belt and to spring wheat in the northern portion. Prevailing high prices for wheat are expected to spur farmers to place a large acreage under spring wheat and officials look for a record crop of that cereal. School children of the state will be urged to put under cultivation every inch of the vacant tillable property, John Clausen, vice president of the Crocker National bank of San Francisco, announced after reading a report from Washington that the nation's winter wheat crop was estimated to be 50,000,000 bushels short. "We are now asking all owners of unimproved property in San Francisco to turn their lands over for cultivation," Clausen said. "These thrift gardens will do much toward conserving our food supply and keeping down the cost of living. "We hope that this idea will be followed out in every city in the state and a movement to that end is on foot." M. A. Pendleton, of Anaheim, has just ordered a Layne & Bowler 12-in. type C.H.C. turbine pump for installation on his place near Norwalk. This pump is of large capacity and is to be operated by a 15 H. P. motor. The Anaheim Beef and Provision Co., who need water every day, recently experienced considerable trouble with their old plant, and have ordered a new plant from the Layne & Bowler corporation of Los Angeles for immediate delivery. This pump will be 275 10in., type C, turbine pump, fitted for direct connection to a verticla motor, and will have to be run almost continuously.

S. CITIZENS Federal Law Prohibits Naturalization While State of War Exists During a state of war between the United States and Germany it will be impossible for any German subject to become a citizen of the United States. That is the law of the United States and notice to that effect has been given County Clerk Williams of this county by Richard K. Campbell, commissioner of naturalization, Washington, D.C. The law, which was made long ago, not especially for the Germans but for any nation with which the United States might be at war, is referred to by the commissioner in the following language: "It is the view of the bureau of naturalization, that the section prohibits the actual naturalization of an enemy during the period of war with the country of his birth, but that it does not prevent the filing of a declaration of intention or petition for naturalization by such person even during the existence of a state of war." The war will not stop the filing of declarations of intentions and petitions for final letters at this time. Since two years must elapse between the filing of a declaration of intention and the filing of a petition for final papers, there need be no reason why German-born men and women who want to seek citizenship here should not proceed at once with taking out first papers. Those who are ready to ask for final papers can file their petitions, and they will be heard at the earliest opportunity, which will not be until after the war is closed or until the law is changed. Of seventeen petitions for final papers set down for hearing on May 21 ENORMOUS SUM ASKED FOR WAR EXPENSES Secretary of the Treasure McAdoo has asked congress for a war budget of more than three and a half billion dollars. The huge sum is to be available immediately and is estimated to carry the United States through two years of war. More than three billions are to be expended upon the army and in carrying out the plans of the war department for strengthening the nation's defense. The money is to be spent under the direction of the administrative departments of the government, apportioned as follows: Naval emergency, $292,538,790. Recruiting, marines and navy $175,855,761. War department, national defense, $2,832,537,933. Civil service artisans, $20,000. State, war and navy departments, watchmen, $28,800. Interior department, $144,200. Department of commerce, $440,000. Coast guard, $600,000. National security and defense, $100,000,000. Total, $3,502,518,630. "The finances of the United States are in a healthier condition than they have ever before," said Secretary McAdoo, after returning from the capitol. "We shall encounter no difficulty in providing the necessary funds to carry the war to a successful conclusion." "The patriotic spirit of the people and their purpose to support their words with action has been assured by hundred of telegrams and letters which have been received.

Weldon, chief deputy state horticultural commissioner, shows the condition in detail, of the 1917 crop. Reports submitted by County Horticultural commissioners April 1, which include 40 of the counties of California, show almost a full crop of all fruits except apricots and almonds. The apricots seem to have suffered more than any other tree crop. Almonds were also nipped by the frost of March, although not so severely as apricots. Of the counties producing a large percentage of the almonds Contra Costa reports a 50 per cent crop; Yolo 65, Sutter 85, Sacramento 90, Butte, Colusa and San Joaquin 100 per cent. These counties report 77 per cent of the entire crop of the state. The following counties produce 81 per cent of the apricot output and the reports vary from 30 per cent to a full crop: Alameda . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 75% Kings . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 60% Los Angeles. ..... 30% Orange ..... 100% Riverside ..... 50% San Benito (no report) ..... 50% San Bernardino ..... 95% Santa Clara (no report) ..... 70% Ventura ..... 50% HENRY KUCHEL, Sworn to and subscribed before me this 2nd day of April, 1917.
