FROM FRYING PAN INTO FIRE
These many years we have longed for a single telephone system. We have complained of the double telephone nuisance and have fretted under its annoyances. Now we are to have but one phone, and the indications are that we are going to pay for it, and pay fancy price at that, says the Santa Ana Register.
In doing away with competition, the only thing that stands between us and the usual curse of a monopoly is the State Railroad Commission, which is a bulwark in time of community troubles involving public utilities. If we present our case fully, we will get a fair deal from the commission; of that we are assured by its achievements and its record in dealing with the utmost fairness as between corporations and the public. Unless we make our position clear, however, orders may be made that ought not be made and which will take time to change. The people of Orange county at this time will leave no stone unturned to see to it that the railroad commission has the facts in the case.
There are a lot of things to be considered. Commissioner Edgerton stated that the commission would insist that there should be but one exchange for one community. That is, the mere fact that the telephone companies, either in the ardor of competition or shrewdly looking forward to the time when there would be consolidation, have established exchanges that are not justified, does not mean that the new company is going to be allowed to milk the public in order to keep up the exchange that has no community reason for existence, and which, instead of being a public convenience, becomes a costly inconvenience.
Whether or not the railroad commission can be persuaded that more than one municipality can be grouped ported by the carriers without a hitch this year and without interfering to any extent with the regular commercial traffic of the country which has increased to vast proportions by the war.
Attention is called to this triumph of American enterprise by C. J. McDonald, secretary for the western department of the Railroads' War Board who announced that 7000 additional empty cars have been ordered into the south and southwest during the last ten days to protect the movement of grain and food products and facilitate the transportation of lumber for cantonments and shipyards.
The orders which the commission of car service of the Railroads' War Board have issued since the policy was adopted of moving empty cars from one road to another regardless of ownership in order to meet war conditions have resulted in 113,420 cars being distributed where they were most needed.
FUMIGATION INSURES A GOOD CROP
The question of annual fumigation of citrus trees is one that should be brought out bluntly, and without equivocation, especially as applying to the citrus industry of Southern California. Annual fumigation is vitally necessary. In nearly 95 per cent of the orchards located on this coastal plain, the lesson is so apparent that it needs only to be seen once by any practical orchardist, says R. T. Davis of Fullerton, who has a 10-acre grove of oranges there and 12 acres at Riverside.
Where orchards are fumigated once a year they set a good crop, all other things being favorable, and where they are fumigated but once in two years they do not set a crop. Any reason set forth in favor of annual fumigation by the expert at the citrus experiment station, any clerker visits of

the time when there would be consolidation, have established exchanges that are not justified, does not mean that the new company is going to be allowed to milk the public in order to keep up the exchange that has no community reason for existence, and which, instead of being a public convenience, becomes a costly inconvenience.
Whether or not the railroad commission can be persuaded that more than one municipality can be grouped into a telephone community is a point that will make a difference of thousands of dollars every year to the people of this county. For instance, Orange, Tustin and Santa Ana, two incorporated cities and one unincorporated, are so closely allied in interests, socially and commercially, that they are in reality, for telephone purposes at least, one community. So with Santa Ana, Garden Grove and Smeltzer and with Anaheim, Fullerton and Placentia. Between those groups of places a toll charge of ten cents for every conversation would work a hardship that certainly ought not to be imposed.
The establishment of two telephone exchanges at Tustin within the last year presents a situation at this time that should call for condemnation by the people. The head officials of the telephone companies have known for months, and did know at the time the exchanges weer established, that the merger was almost a certainty, yet they let the people put their heads into the telephone noose. The fact that a good many people of Tustin asked for the exchanges is not ap excuse that can be urged by the telephone companies as a reason for keeping Tustin in ignorance of the intended merger. Neither can the companies wriggle out of the situation by saying that they did not know whether or not the merger would go through, for Commissioner Edgerton statel last week that one reason why the Associated Chambers of Commerce case, brought over two years ago, had not been acted upon was that the commission knew of this intended merger. Under the proposal made to the commission, the new company will charge as much per month to the Tustin subscriber for free access to 300 telephones under the Tustin exchange as will be charged to the subscriber west of Tustin avenue for free access to 3,000 phones. In addition to the monthly charge the Tustin subscriber will pay ten cents
the lesson is so apparent that it needs only to be seen once by any practical orchardist, says R. T. Davis of Fullerton, who has a 10-acre grove of oranges there and 12 acres at Riverside.
Where orchards are fumigated once a year they set a good crop, all other things being favorable, and where they are fumigated but once in two years they do not set a crop. Any reason set forth in favor of annual fumigation by the expert at the citrus experiment station; any elaborate views of any individual or group of individuals on this subject may be interesting—but it all comes back to the fundamental fact that the grove fumigated regularly once a year sets a good crop, irrespective of whether the black scale is all cleaned up or not.
Packing house figures tell this story so plainly that it is a matter of wonder that this one question has not occupied a great deal of the time at association meetings. It cannot be good business to ignore the fact that ranchers have received one box to the tree instead of eight, because they have missed one fumigation.
Naturally when a fumigator makes this statement, as all of them must do on the face of the facts, the rancher takes his statement with an inclination to take a grain of salt with it, because most fumigating outfits are in the business to get more business in order to make more profits. The statement is therefore from a source that can be reliable but is of course tinged with bias.
But facts in the groves have no bias to them, neither has the statement from the packing house. Citrus trees in Los Angeles county do not set a good crop unless they are fumigated once a year. This applies to a considerable extent to the industry all over the state, but more particularly to this district lying closer to the coast.
A citrus grove will bear fruit for a few years without being fertilized. It has been known to bear a fair crop when cultivation is neglected. Groves that do not receive enough water some years will in spite of it set a crop for one year, or two years, before the real effects will begin to show up. They will return a fair crop if not pruned. All these things can happen to the grove for a few years, and it will still bear fruit. But on this costal plain, where the black scale infestation has been an increasingly difficult problem during the last 15 years, the serious mien. They whom there was no whole lot to home. It would have load from their hearted just one line from cared. They felt, in that no one thought were despondent and mind that meant dislike.
Then there went another retary of the Navy knew what the matter seen incidents like that he knew what to do smile and a word of joy to them individually to share in the entire association building they went. Boyish me themselves to condition got the thoughtlessness home and entered in the evening.

has been known to bear a fair crop when cultivation is neglected. Groves that do not receive enough water some years will in spite of it set a crop for one year, or two years, before the real effects will begin to show up. They will return a fair crop if not pruned. All these things can happen to the grove for a few years, and it will still bear fruit. But on this costal plain, where the black scale infestation has been an increasingly difficult problem during the last 15 years, the grove that was not properly fumigated, or not fumigated at all, quits bearing at once. Trees reduce their crops from eight boxes to one box in a single year. It is an eight-to-one test that is more important than the sugar and acid content of the fruit itself.
A few years ago the horticultural commissioner of Los Angeles county gave instruction to all his inspectors to carefully prepare a statement on "what is the principal cause of crop variation?" That is to say, what causes a grove on side of the street set but one box to the tree? This question was to apply to groves that are decently cared for. It applies to groves owned by men who were doing everything they knew how to do to raise a normal crop.
The inspectors have made two reports of two-year periods. There is no variation in their general statements. The control of the scale pests is the most important matter in the question of setting a crop. It does not mean that the scale must be exterminated. Inspectors and practical fumigators have ceased to use the word "exterminate," as the black scale by annual fumigation can be kept down to a percentage that is not harmful to the tree. It means that 90 per cent of the scale must be exterminated every year.

WRITE OFTEN TO BOYS IN ARMY
This incident happened very recently at the naval training station on Goat Island, in San Francisco bay. Fifteen hundred rookies, lads who had just arrived at the station were surrounding a sailor perched on a box distributing mail. The boat had just arrived and the mail was being handed out. As the names of the sailors were called the lads would step up and receive the letter addressed to them. It was a fascinating sight. The sailor distributing the mail would call out a name and immediately would come a reply and a willing hand backed by a happy smile would reach out and take the letter. Then the lad would walk away, his face fairly beaming. He would seek a quiet spot and read sometimes re-read the letter.
So it continued for 15 minutes until the crowd was pretty well thinned out. All around were sailors intently reading. Some had a smile on their faces, others looked more serious and there was one lad who sobbed as if his heart would break. "Bad news?" questioned his chum. "Poor old Towser's gone," sobbed the boy in reply. "The folks say that he wouldn't eat a thing after I left and they found him Sunday back of the barn dead."
The last letter had been distributed to its owner and the postman had departed but there still lingered a dozen or more boys with long faces and serious mien. They were the lads for whom there was no letter. It meant a whole lot to those boys to hear from home. It would have lifted a heavy load from their hearts to have received just one line from someone that cared. They felt, in their boyish way that no one thought of them. They were despondent and in a frame of mind that meant disaster to them.
Then there went among them a secretary of the Navy Y. M. C. A. He knew what the matter was. He had used should be sufficient to keep the flame going for three hours. The sulphur may be placed in a small tin or agateware pan and lighted by means of a few shavings that are partially covered by the sulphur. The pan should be placed on the ground at one end of the sulphur box and the sulphur should be kept burning throughout the three hours needed for sulphuring. The trays of fruit are than spread on the ground in the sun and left to dry. The quality is improved if the trays are piled one above the other; that is, stacked, a few days before they are completely dried. Apricots are dry when they are leathery to the touch and not hard. They should not be over dried. If the apricots become too dry they may be improved by dipping them a few second in boiling water after which they are spread out to dry a little more before packing. The dried fruit should be stored in sacks or boxes away from insects. If at any time they show insect injury, they should be dipped in boiling water for a short time and sulphured for two or three hours. This will kill the insects and their eggs.
Drying of Peaches:—Peaches are dried in exactly the same way as apricots. The quality of the peaches is improved by peeling, but peeling results in considerable loss of food value and is therefore not recommended for this season. If so desired, peaches may be peeled by dipping them in a boiling solution of lye containing ten ounces of lye to the gallon of water, followed by dipping them in cold water. They must be thoroughly washed in cold water to remove all traces of the lye. The peaches are placed on trays in the same way as apricots and exposed to sulphur fumes for at least three hours. They are then dried in the sun to a leathery texture.
Drying of Prunes:—Prunes should be allowed to hang on the tree until thoroughly ripe or until they drop
NORMAL SCHOOL TO HAVE EXTRA TERM
The state normal school of San Diego, desirous of complying to the fullest extent possible with the requests of the federal government and the state council of defense that educational institutions arrange their calendars and their courses of study with due regard to services that may be rendered on account of the war, has carried on special courses and has arranged a special curriculum for war service. During the summer term just closed, the school has maintained a course in agriculture and a course in food conservation, open to the public and to all of the 400 teachers and students in attendance.
To accommodate students who are now at work in food conservation or agriculture and who were not able to enter the school on the regular date of entrance, August 20, the school has arranged a curriculum for beginning students who can enter October first, when the students taking advanced courses return from their vacations. This curriculum includes the regular junior subjects, and can be completed by August 15, 1918, so that no time will be lost in the first year of work and graduation can follow at the end of the regular period of two years, in June, 1919.
REGULATE THE PRICE OF CORN
A group of American business men published recently an appeal to the government concerning the rapidly mounting price of corn. These business men pointed out in their carefully prepared statement that the normal price of corn is three-fifths the price of wheat. In other words, while wheat sells for $2 a bushel, corn normally should sell for $1.20 a bushel.
The government proposes to fix a limit价 on wheat. It should also
They were the lads for whom there was no letter. It meant a whole lot to those boys to hear from home. It would have lifted a heavy load from their hearts to have received just one line from someone that cared. They felt, in their boyish way that no one thought of them. They were despondent and in a frame of mind that meant disaster to them.
Then there went among them a secretary of the Navy Y. M. C. A. He knew what the matter was. He had seen incidents like this before. And he knew what to do. With a cheery smile and a word of good will he went to them individually and invited them to share in the entertainment at the association building that evening. And they went. Boylis minds easily adjust themselves to conditions. They forgot the thoughtlessness of the folks at home and entered into the spirit of the evening.
All of which carries its lesson. Keep in touch with your boy. The home influence is the strongest tie he has to keep him morally straight. When it falls, the Y. M. C. A. can sometimes reach and save the day.
THE DRYING OF FRUITS
Almost all deciduous fruits can be successfully dried on trays in the sun under California climatic conditions. In some cases the drying is carried out by simply exposing the fruits without any further treatment whatever to the drying effects of the sun. In most cases, however, the fruit must be given a preliminary treatment of some kind before drying. In some instances this will be the sulphuring of the fruit. In others it may consist of dipping the fruit in a dilute solution of lye. The following directions are offered by the college of agriculture for small scale drying operations.
Trays:—In commercial drying, trays three feet by eight feet in size are used in most cases. For home drying, trays of any size may be used. The trays should be of light material, preferably of pine. Redwood will discolor the fruit. Where the fruit is not to be sulphured the trays do not have to be of uniform size or shape and may be simply pieces of canvass or paper or boards laid side by side.
Sulphur Boxes—Apricots, peaches, and pears must be sulphured and a sulphur box is necessary. A sulphur box is merely a closed room or box in which the trays of fruit are exposed
Drying of Prunes:—Prunes should be allowed to hang on the tree until thoroughly ripe or until they drop from the tree of their own accord. The prunes must be dipped in a boiling solution of lye before drying. The lye solution that is used consists of one pound of lye to thirty gallons of water; or from one half to one ounce of lye to the gallon of water. The lye solution is heated to boiling in an iron or enamel ware kettle. Aluminum cannot be used. The prunes are placed in a wire basket and dipped in the boiling water for a few seconds, just long enough to cause a slight checking or cracking of the skin. It is a good plan to dip them in cold water after the lye treatment to remove the excess lye. They are then spread on trays and allowed to dry in the sun. It may be necessary to turn the prunes occasionally during the drying process. They should not be allowed to become too dry but should be dried down to a leathery texture. When most of the prunes are dried enough, pick out the prunes which require further drying and place them on other trays. The dried prunes should be allowed to stand in lug boxes for a few days after drying to allow them to sweat or become uniform in moisture content.
Apple Drying—The apples should be cut in thin slices and placed on trays and exposed to sulphur fumes for about thirty minutes. They are then dried on trays in the sun in the same way as apricots.
Drying of Figs:—The White Adriatic fig is dried by placing the very ripe and partially shrivelled fruit in trays in the sun. When dry the figs are dipped for a few minutes in the boiling solution of four ounces of salt to the gallon. They are then exposed to the sulphur fumes for an hour or longer and then allowed to dry in the sun. The sulphur is to bleach them. If they are for home use, they need not be sulphured, but only dipped in a salt solution and dried. The dipping in the boiling solution sterilizes the figs and kills any insects that may be present. The Mission fig is usually dried and is not dipped if they show insect infestation.

of any size may be used. The trays should be of light material, preferably of pine. Redwood will discolor the fruit. Where the fruit is not to be sulphured the trays do not have to be of uniform size or shape and may be simply pieces of canvass or paper or boards laid side by side.
Sulphur Boxes—Apricots, peaches, and pears must be sulphured and a sulphur box is necessary. A sulphur box is merely a closed room or box in which the trays of fruit are exposed to the fumes of burning sulphur. A cheap sulphur box may be made by constructing a frame of light lumber and covering the frame with building paper. This box is closed on four sides and on top, the bottom being left open. The sulphur box should be large enough to fit down over a stack of ten or twelve trays and should be somewhat longer than the trays to allow room for a pan of burning sulphur on the ground at the end of the box. If the trays are two feet by three feet in size, the sulphur box should be about 30 inches wide and about four feet long. This would give a foot of space an one end of the pan for burning sulphur. In using this sulphur box the trays of fruit are piled one above another to about the height of the sulphur box. The box is then lifted and set down over the trays of fruit.
Apricot Drying—The apricots should be ripe, but not soft. They are halved and the pits removed. The apricots are placed on the trays with the cups upward and the pieces of fruit arranged as closely together as possible. The trays of fruit are stacked and covered with the sulphur box. If for each 100 pounds of cut fruit about half a pound of sulphur is used and the fruit exposed to the fumes of burning sulphur for three hours the result will be satisfactory. The amount of sulphur dipped for a few minutes in the boiling solution of four ounces of salt to the gallon. They are then exposed to the sulphur fumes for an hour or longer and then allowed to dry in the sun. The sulphur is to bleach them. If they are for home use, they need not be sulphured, but only dipped in a salt solution and dried. The dipping in the boiling solution sterilizes the figs and kills any insects that may be present. The Mission fig is usually dried and is not dipped. If they show insect injury at any time they may be sterilized by putting them for a time in boiling water.
Drying of Berries:—The berries should be picked in the cool part of the day so that they will not melt down on the trays. They should not be too ripe. The trays should not be filled too full, because the berries may melt down under such conditions. Loganberries, raspberries and blackberries may all be dried successfully.
Drying of Pears:—Pears require a long period of sulphuring. They should be sulphured at least 8 to 12 hours. The best dried pears are made by drying in the state; that is by stacking the trays one above the other, with good ventilation between them, and allowing the air currents to dry them rather than to depend upon the direct rays of the sun. A very good product, however, can be made by sulphuring the pears for about 8 hours and leaving them on trays in the sun in the same way as recommended for apricots.

Speculation in corn which has fixed a criminal price means not merely thousands of millions taken from the public by speculation in one crop, but other thousands of millions that must be spent when the price of corn rises. And, worst of all, an extravagant price for corn caused by the gamblers means less food, in addition to food at higher prices.
Poultry men depend on a fixed price for corn—to change the price makes every man who produces eggs and poultry charge more and drives many out of business, a loss that can not be repaired.
Gamblers' prices for corn mean eggs at 70 cents a dozen in summer; mean higher prices for beef, pork and milk.
And gamblers' prices for corn mean inevitably higher prices for the various prepared foods in which corn is essential and upon which so many families rely.
Government investigates and prevents conspiracies that increase the price of coal.
The corn crop means more to the American people than coal production.
Gamblers increasing the cost of corn should be punished as are the coal conspirators. And government commissions should fix and establish maximum prices for corn, as they do for coal and other absolute necessities.

NOVEMBER BLACKBERRIES
D. W. Moore's sweet blackberries, in Los Angeles county, bore nicely last year until the last of August, when they went dormant. If he had let them go, there would have been no more berries that season; but he watered them well every week through September, and sold about $8 worth of berries from 650 hills in November and December.
