SPEND MILLIONS IN BATTLING INSECTS WAR ON PESTS COSTS STATE OF CALIFORNIA FIVE MILLIONS ANNUALLY Bulletin issued by Horticultural Department Gives Interesting Figures.—Citrus Acreage of State Given by Counties. The importance of pest control is better understood, perhaps, when one has read in the social bulletin of the State Commission of Horticulture that California each year spends $5,000,000 in fighting a dozen insect pests. Last year the bill for insecticides was $2,500,000. The special bulletin deals with acreage, distribution, tonnage and valuation of commercial fruit and vegetable crops in California. In this special issue it is stated that agriculture is the greatest industry of the state and that the crops have exceeded $400,000,000 a year for the past two years. Absolute accuracy of crop valuations and county production is not claimed, but these figures will stand until the decennial census is taken next January. Data based on assessors reports is not regarded as reliable.

STOCKS ON HOME Commercial stocks of wine in a survey made by the Agriculture from May 1st led to 98,873,147 bushels reported by 9,857 first warehouses; grain mill sales dealers—were nearly as large as the stocks held firms a year earlier; the percentage being 289.7 per centage being 289.7 per centage being 289.7 per centage being 289.7 per centage being 289.7 per centage being 289.7 per centage being 289.7 per centage being Absolute accuracy of crop valuations and county production is not claimed, but these figures will stand until the decennial census is taken next January. Data based on assessors reports is not regarded as reliable, according to the bulletin, one instance being noted where the acreage reported by a county assessor as devoted to fruit raising was something like 40,000 greater than the total acreage in the county. In another case the number of bearing trees in one of the big citrus counties was reported in 1918 as but 563,489 as compared with 2,537,493 acres in 1910 when as a matter of fact there had been a 30 per cent increase in new planting and of 40 per cent in production since 1910. Attention is called to the fact that the U.S. Department of Agriculture has reported a list of 2,500 different kinds of insect pests in foreign countries which have not yet entered this country, because of effective quarantine measures. Numbers of these pests have been intercepted by the horticultural commission's quarantine division. The work which is being carried on has for its object pest prevention to prevent any addition to the five million dollar pest cure. There are about one hundred millions of acres within the borders of the state. Of this amount about 840,316 are devoted to the growing of fruit trees. There is not a county of the fifty-eight in the state in which apples or pears or some of the more hardy fruits cannot be grown. Coming to oranges the bulletin says: "From the standpoint of acreage and production it may be reasoned that the orange is the most popular fruit in California." Bearing acreage is given as 116,470, non-bearing acreage 40,819, production in boxes for past year-15,858,939 and the approximate valuation is given as $75,000,000. The figures for production will doubtless be shown to be greatly underestimated before the end of the season. Referring to lemons, the report states: "Among the fruits grown in CALIFORNIA PREPARING FOR FUMIGATION Fumigation of citrus orchards will be more general this season than any preceding year. More outfits will be in operation and it now appears the season will be longer. Work is already shaping up for a start on the campaign at least by the middle of next month. More outfits will start early in the month of August. County work, that is, work done under direction of the county horticultural commissions, will be less general than in preceding years, and there will be a number of private or co-operative outfits in every county. The citricola scale, which has induced early work in central California, is now found in some southern orchards, and, amongst others, Redlands will begin a campaign within the next few days on this scale. But even for black scale alone the campaign will be general, partly because the season has been very favorable for their increase and perhaps more because the exceptionally good prices for high grade fruit induce better care of the orchards. Some orchardists formerly felt that one fumigation every three years was sufficient, but notwithstanding the cost of fumigation it has become more general and will continue to do so if present conditions continue to prevail. As some growers express it: "The scale is becoming used to fumigation, or to an extent is immune, so that stronger and more frequent treatment is necessary." Possibly the pest is immunized. In any case, the grower is after him with the latest improved methods of fumigation. This of course will be through more general use of fumigation machinery, that is, appliances for manufacturing gas or for pumping liquid gas under the tent. There will be but few of the old-time interior generators in operation. The liquid gas proved so generally satisfactory last season that this method will probably almost entirely replace the former generation machine. There will be at least two large plants supplying liquid gas and machinery for its application. Stocks of condensed milk were reported by cold storages, warehouse saler grocers, as follows: milk, 33,464,784 pounds; milk, 90,752,523 pounds; condensed milk repaired 1919, represented 86.5 stocks held by the earlier, while the hotated milk represented the May 1, 1918 stock. Bearing acreage is given as 116,470, non-bearing acreage 40,819, production in boxes for past year-15,858,939 and the approximate valuation is given as $75,000,000. The figures for production will doubtless be shown to be greatly underestimated before the end of the season. Referring to lemons, the report states: "Among the fruits grown in the United States there are several whose entire production is confined practically within the borders of the State of California. The lemon is one of the most important of these. There is a limited production of lemons in Florida, but the trade is not over one per cent of the total." The bearing acreage of lemons is given as 26,744; non-bearing acreage, 15,297; production 3,792,030 boxes, and the approximate valuation is given as $19,000,000. These figures like the forgoing ones concerning oranges will doubtless be greatly exceeded by actual sales. Very brief reference is made to grapefruit in the bulletin, it being stated that no figures on acreage or production are obtainable on the pomelo. It does contain the information that "the industry is not yet overdone in California and considerable development is possible without seriously disturbing market conditions." The following table taken from the horticultural commission's Monthly Bulletin gives the bearing acreage credited to each county and the estimated production of oranges: Av.yield ProAcres in per ac., duction County— bearing. boxes. boxes. Butte ... 1,800 50 90,000 The recent bomb outrages promise to produce two highly desirable results. The activities of the Department of Justice and the creation of a Bureau of Investigation, with William J. Flynn, former chief of the secret service, at its head, indicate that the administration is convinced that these outrages are part of an organized effort against law and order, and not merely sporadic outbreaks. The United States has no room for anyone so little capable of grasping the character of its institutions and with so little appreciation of the privileges offered here, as to be either actively engaged in or sympathetically inclined toward an attempt to destroy them. Any steps that will rid the country of men of this type will meet with general approval. Of equal importance is the impetus given to legislation to cover admission to this country of aliens who already have, or promise to develop, violent radical tendencies. It is quite as important to keep out anarchists, real or potential, as it is to rid the country of those now here. The United States has always stood as a haven of refuge for the poor and oppressed of the world. In most instances it has found them worthy sons and daughters. But when its hospitality is abused by organized attacks up- milk were reported by cold storages, warehouse saler grocers, as follows: milk, 33,464,078 pounds milk, 90,752,523 pounds of condensed milk reported 1919, represented 86.5 stocks held by the sale earlier, while the holded milk represented the May 1, 1918, stock.

STOCKS ON HAND Commercial stocks of wheat reported in a survey made by the Department of Agriculture from May 1, 1919, amounted to 98,873,147 bushels. These holdings reported by 9,857 firms—elevators, warehouses, grain mills, and wholesale dealers—were nearly three times as large as the stocks held by the same firms a year earlier, the actual percentage being 289.7 per cent of the 1918 stocks. The figures refer to stocks actually reported and do not represent the total commercial stocks of the country nor do they include stocks on farms. The commercial visible supply figures, as published by the Chicago Board of Trade for May 3, 1919, show 49,502,000 bushels of wheat, as against 2,777,000 bushels a year earlier. The corresponding Bradstreet figures show 55,2'7,000 bushels, as against 7,572'000 for 1918. As compared with the same date last year, these figures, as well as those obtained by the more extensive survey, show a very great relative increase in commercial stocks of wheat on May 1, 1919. The commercial stocks of other cereals reported for May 1, 1919, according to the department's statement, were as follows: Corn, 20,000,316 bushels; oats, 50,787,239 bushels; barley, 25,060,638 bushels; rye, 21,736,760 bushels. These stocks represent the following percentages of the corresponding stocks on May 1, 1918: Corn, 39 per cent; oats, 93.6 per cent; barley, 174.1 per cent; rye, 418.2 per cent.

BUYING TIMBER FOR BOXES Forty thousand acres of timberland at Eagle Lake in Lassen county is under option by the Fruit Growers' supply Company,a subsidiary of the California Fruit Growers' Exchange and the stockholders of the county are about to close the deal for the purchase of the timber. A committee of twenty-two members of the board inspected the tract.The timber is mostly sugar and yellow pine and it can be logged cheaply. It is estimated that by an additional assessment of two cents per box on fruit shipped the enterprise can be financed and in eight years paid for.The purchase of this timber will supply the company with box timber for from forty to fifty years. The option，according to information given out in Los Angeles,calls for the purchase of the 40,000 acres of timber now standing at a price of $28.50 per acre.Near it is a large acreage of government land，well timededand which can be used for box making by the Fruit Growers' Supply Company. Attorney George Farrand，representing the company,and Manager Charles Grover of the Hilt Lumber and Box Factory，owned by the Fruit Growers' Supply Company，also accompaniedthe board members on the inspection trip and they were very favorably impressed with the proposition. In order to reach this big tract of timberthe board members went by train to Sacramento and east to Reno.From Reno they took a branch road to a point near Susanville,Lassen county,and from that point they mo- BIG BEAN SALE In one sale consummated Wednesday, the directors of the blackeye bean pool disposed of 16,000 bags of blackeyes at 4.5 cents per pound. The price was an exceptional one, since it was over a half-cent higher than the market quotations. The reason the price secured is high is that the pool could deliver a large quantity of beans and because the quality is first class. The sale was made by W. C. Jerome, John Osterman and W. J. Cheney, directors of the Orange county blackeye beans pool, to the J. M. Waterman Selling Agency, and the beans will begin to move out of the warehouse at once. This sale takes about fifty per cent of the beans controlled by the pool and the sale of itself has increased the demands for blackeyes. There is every prospect now for increasing prices, and the indications are that those in the pool will get an average price well in advance of the price named in the opening sale. Most of the blackeyes in Orange county are in the pool, and additional signers are being secured and will continue to be received. Anaheim Gazette, per year, $1.50, payable in advance.
