FARMERS HELPED BY NEW STATE BUREAU ESTABLISHMENT OF CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE MEANS NEW ERA IN PROGRESS G. H. Heck, Director, Explains Enlargement of Its Work Over the Old System—Study Both Plant and Animal Industry. The advent of the new California State Department of Agriculture marks the beginning of a new era in the progress of the State, in that it will receive the benefit of co-ordinated effort along the different lines of activity and will be able more successfully by the experiences of the past. The two main branches of the new department will be devoted to the promotion of activities along lines of plant industry and animal industry. The tentative scheme of procedure which will be followed by the Division of Plant Industry will consist of a more elaborate exposition of the policies heretofore pursued under the old State Horticultural Commission. It was no small task for Governor Stephens to select from the many valuable state institutions those which should be brought together in the national work being conducted by the insectary division an agricultural pest survey of the entire state is being collated which will be of great value in the future in preventing the spread of pests to uninfested areas. The areas involved by sixteen of the most important insect pests, together with eighteen species of ground squirrels, have now been mapped, and greater advices, including plant diseases and weeds, may be expected within the next few years. In co-operation with the United States Bureau of Biological Survey and the County Horticultural commissioners, great successes have followed the work in rodent control, notwithstanding the limited force which it was possible to put into the field. The methods followed in this work are the most carefully planned and systematic, and little remedial work is attempted except as a result of a systematic survey to determine the quickest and most efficacious means of procedure. Good constructive work along all lines of agricultural procedure inevitably will result from the co-ordinated interest of the many branches which are now comprehended by the enlarged scope of the new department. While it is true that a great deal was accomplished under the Commission of Horticulture, the possibilities for the future are unlimited. The creation of the Department of Agriculture can only make for greater success and progress and given the opportunity making for co-operation, it would appear that success, involved by these manifold duties will be assured in part at least in the near future. No less arduous than the duties of the Division of Plant Industry and of a many-sided nature will be the problems confronting the new Division of Animal Industry, with J. P.

The tentative scheme of procedure which will be followed by the Division of Plant Industry will consist of a more elaborate exposition of the policies heretofore pursued under the old State Horticultural Commission. It was no small task for Governor Stephens to select from the many valuable state institutions those which should be brought together in the formation of the new department of agriculture. It required a careful analysis of the purposes for which each department was created and a great knowledge of the working organization needed to achieve that purpose. The fresh fruit standardization laws of 1917 have been remodeled, based on the experience of the past two years' work. In addition, standardization now applies to dried fruits, vegetables, and nuts. Potato seed certification, so long strongly urged by the potato growers of California, has been provided. The continual growth of agricultural and horticultural industries showed the attendant need for increased efficiency in plant pest control and protection. Under the new regime standardization will be placed upon a firmer basis, affecting all fruits and vegetables and all sections imprintially. As a direct outcome of these wise measures, the shipment of green, immature, inedible fruit and vegetables will be further prevented by the placing of quality restrictions upon such shipments. The quarantine service of the commission, in operation at the several maritime ports of entry upon the California coast line, will continue to put into execution all the provisions of the state quarantine law and those of all quarantine orders to be issued by the director of the California State Department of Agriculture. Among the destructive pests which to date have been excluded from our state through the vigilance of an iron-clad quarantine and inspection service may be mentioned the Mediterranean fruit fly and the melon fly of Hawaii, the orange fruit fly of Mexico, the cotton boll weevil and the pink boll worm of the cotton states, the gypsy moth and the brown-tail moth of New England, the Colorado potato beetle and the dread citrus canker of Florida. The Federal Horticultural Board of the United States Department of Agriculture are unlimited. The creation of the Department of Agriculture can only make for greater success and progress and given the opportunity making for co-operation. It would appear that success, involved by these manifold duties will be assured in part at least in the near future. No less arduous than the duties of the Division of Plant Industry and of a many-sided nature will be the problems confronting the new Division of Animal Industry, with J. P. Iverson as chief of the division. Much time has been devoted to the eradication of sheep scabies and the Texas fever tick, in addition to the investigation of other animal diseases. Inspections have been made on practically all sheep in the state, and those found exposed to the disease or infected have been dipped. Since July, 1918, to and inclusive of June 20, 1919, 1,575,394 sheep were inspected and 575,915 dipped. During the progress of the sheep work the inspectors also gave their time and attention, when necessary, to investigations of outbreaks of contagious and infectious diseases of livestock as well as testing cows for tuberculosis under the provisions of the state dairy law (chapter 576, 1917). Since September, 1918, when the Texas fever tick made its re-appearance in the San Joaquin valley, much attention has been given to this work. One inspector devotes his entire time to making inspections and supervising and conducting dippings of infected and exposed cattle in this territory, and the owners of such cattle have cooperated with us in a commendable manner. Here again the boards of supervisors of counties where the infestation exists have rendered very valuable assistance by providing county-line riders and constructing dipping vats. Since September, 1918, to and inclusive of June, 1918, inspections have been made of 67,770 head of cattle and 26,364 underwent dippings for Texas fever tick. Every year, from about July to November, a great deal of emergency work is done in the control of antrax by way of assisting livestock owners and veterinarians, in rendering aid, proper diagnosis and conducting vaccination and also by insisting upon proper sanitary measures being taken in all instances. No virulent outbreaks of this disease have occurred during the past year. Glanders is practically... The Federal Horticultural Board of the United States Department of Agriculture has given evidence of its confidence in the methods pursued by the State of California to accomplish these purposes and further co-operation of state and federal authorities will redound to the credit and profit to the agricultural activities of the state. The insectary division, as a branch of the new department is interested in the control of insect pests, and its work in the past in the biological control of destructive insects, or the use of their natural enemies, has met with the greatest success. A least two localities in the state have furnished the means for the perpetuation of branch insectaries, to be operated under the main insectary division, for the purpose of rearing beneficial insects, and at this time an expert collector is en route to South Africa for the purpose of securing additional natural enemies of the destructive black scale and mealy bugs. Beneficial insects have been supplied both to the French government and certain South American countries, together with pertinent information regarding the rearing methods employed by the insectary division. Millions of beneficial lady bugs have been distributed for use in fields of canteloupes, beansand grain where the aphis were taking their annual toll. As an example of the practical education through the vigilance of an iron-clad quarantine and inspection service may be mentioned the Mediterranean fruit fly and the melon fly of Hawaii, the orange fruit fly of Mexico, the cotton boll weevil and the pink boll worm of the cotton states, the gypsy moth and the brown-tail moth of New England, the Colorado potato beetle and the dread citrus canker of Florida. Every year, from about July to November, a great deal of emergency work is done in the control of antrax by way of assisting livestock owners and veterinarians, in rendering aid, proper diagnosis and conducting vaccination and also by insisting upon proper sanitary measures being taken in all instances. No virulent outbreaks of this disease have occurred during the past year. Glanders is practically eradicated in California. This has been accomplished by requiring all affected animals to be immediately destroyed, testing and examination of all contacts to determine which are affected, and consisting upon the destruction of all reactors, as well as proper disinfection of the infected premises. Hog cholera is a problem with which one has to deal throughout the year, and outbreaks of this disease have occurred in nearly every district of the state. However, in most instances they were checked immediately by the proper use of anti-hog cholera serum and virus. Upon information of such outbreaks inspectors are at once detailed to investigate and advise with owners concerning vaccination and sanitary precautions. With reference to the work conducted under the provisions of the pure milk law (chapter 576, 1917), from July, 1918, to June, 1919, 60,271 head of dairy cows were tested for tuberculosis by representatives of this office. The provisions of the dairy law require that this office examine and test all cows from which raw dairy products are sold. In addition to improving the milk supply the information thus obtained furnishes accurate data as to the extent of tuberculosis in California, which, of course, is valuable in its control. ANAHEIM GAZETTE THE CONTRARY RUSSIAN That Russians are more "foreign" than other nations is the belief expressed in Harper's Magazine, of Arthur Bullard, who spent a good deal of time during the war in Petrograd and Moscow for the Committee on Public Information. "Once you get really to know a Briton, a German, an Italian or a Turk, you can prophesy with fair accuracy what he will do given circumstances. We expect certain combinations of qualities. If we know such a man does not cheat at cards, we are pretty sure he will not steal from the collection-basket at church. If we know he is cruel to dogs, we don't expect him to be kind to children. But such combinations of character do not always hold true with Russians. A Russian acquaintance nine times running may do just what, from your previous knowledge of him, you would expect, and then, the tenth time, act in complete contradiction to what you thought was his character." The charming family with whom he lived, for instance, to all appearances trustworthy, entertained lavishly with his store of provisions while he spent two weeks out of town. Upon his return everything was gone but the codfish which they did not know how to cook. They were sincerely sorry that business had kept him away while the fun was going on! The supply—from America—would have helped out the whole family all winter. It never occurred to them they were doing anything out of the way. Every well-to-do family had some "system" for getting food. One canny family had traded "some useless thing like a gold mine or munition plant for a cigarette factory. They could buy anything with cigarettes." Stealth instead of by direct approach. But inquisitive he still is." "Grizzlies in regions just invaded by white men appear to have put in much time trying to make out what these strange creatures were about. What man is doing is ever of first importance to the long-lived grizzly. His interest in his surroundings appears to be greater than that of the average person." "When looking at scenery and sunsets, his appearance is one of enjoyment; he appears to have feeling in the conscious presence of that which we call beautiful or glorious. I have seen a grizzly looking at a magnificent and many-colored sunset, completely absorbed. There was no fear at a flash of lightning or the roar and echoing roll of thunder. Once I saw a grizzly turn to stare at the course of a shooting star; another gazed for seconds at a brilliant rainbow. Generally the grizzly's attention to these demonstrations rose superior to commonplace curiosity; he looked long, he listened closely, he was absorbed and he appeared to feel as he sat lost in wonder. Had he been a child, with the power of speech, he certainly would have asked questions. Often his expression, his attitude, indicated that he was saying to himself: 'What was that? What caused it? Where did that noise come from? What are those strange shadows running from, and how can they move without a sound.'" "But is the grizzly bear ferocious? All the first-hand evidence I can find says he is not. Speaking from years of experience with him, my answer is emphatically, no! . . . During the greater part of my life I have lived in a grizzly bear region. I have camped for months alone and without a gun in their territory. I have seen them ment Bureaus, and will, in so far as possible, endeavor to standardize the employment situation so that the percentage of men from each locality on the state highway divisions throughout the state will be in proportion to the unemployed surplus in each community. OLIVE CROP WILL BE LARGE Olive growers of the Redlands section report a larger crop on their trees than there was last year. The average yield, per acre, of the fruit in this section has been half a ton, but this season the outlook is for 25% more fruit. There are several hundred acres of bearing olive trees in San Bernardino county and they are mostly loaded with a crop unlike anything in recent years. Olives sold to the buyers last fall in the orchard at an average of $170.00 The duties of industry and of the problem Division of Iverson as such time has application of fever tick,ation of other the sheep gave their necessary to of containers of live owls for tuitions of the 176,1917). when the re-apparalley, much so this work,entire time supervising of infected territory,will have commendable boards of supe the infeasively valuing county dipping 1918,to and inspections head of catppings for July to No emergency oil of antrax stock owners dering aid,ducting vaccinating upon being taken outbreaks arred during practically cook. They were sincerely sorry that business had kept him away while the fun was going on! The supply—from America—would have helped out the whole family all winter. It never occurred to them they were doing anything out of the way. Every well-to-do family had some "system" for getting food. One canny family had traded "some useless thing like a gold mine or munition plant for a cigarette factory. They could buy anything with cigarettes." They even had white bread—for which they had bribed the chief surgeon of a hospital with cigarettes. It was part of a small supply baked for soldiers too badly wounded to digest black bread. Another man, honest, public-spirited, intelligent, had himself elected member of the Food Committee so he could get all the food he wanted or his own table. Mr. Bullard says he can imagine a man in some other country who would do that—but he would be otherwise a villain. In the nine ways this man was square and public-serving. Now how are you going to help men like that HAR CIDER FINDS FRIENDS IN SENATE The man who can sip hard cider through a straw, or gurgle down a few awailows of light wine from a long-necked bottle, will not fare so badly after all when prohibition enforcement does its worst. This man may lean back under his own beechnut tree and imbibe a little alcoholic content without having it either weighed or measured. An exception was made in the measure in favor of cider and home-made wines by the sub-committee of the senate judiciary committee, now engaged in working out a drastic enforcement measure. The sub-committee slipped in an amendment providing that a man at home may make cider and wines for his own use and that of his family. Of course, these must not be sold or given away. But the alcoholic content percentage is not fixed: It is stipulated in the amendment that these home-made beverages must be non-intoxicating, but if a man does not get drunk in his own house and throw bricks at the neighbors the question of intoxication is unlikely to CALIFORNIA HIGHWAYS GREATEST IN NATION Passage of Good Roads Bond Issue Places State at the Head of List. By the passage of the $40,000,000 good roads bond issue the completion in California of the greatest system of paved and scientifically, graded highways in the world is assured, according to A. B. Fletcher, State Highway Engineer. California's network of concrete highways already exceeds those of all Eastern states combined, and the connecting of trunk lines and laterals by the additional $40,000,000 will bring Olive growers of the Redlands section report a larger crop on their trees than there was last year. The average yield, per acre, of the fruit in this section has been half a ton, but this season the outlook is for 25% more fruit. There are several hundred acres of bearing olive trees in San Bernardino county and they are mostly loaded with a crop unlike anything in recent years. Olives sold to the buyers last fall in the orchard at an average of $170.00 per ton. They never sold above $80 a ton up to about 1914, when the war shut out importations of Italian and Spanish olives from America. EXTEND FOREST SERVICE An important feature of extensive five protection methods now being put into effect by federal state, municipal and private agencies on the Pacific Coast, is the arrangements by which private owners of forests may take advantage of the fire detection and prevention organization of the U.S. Forest Service by the payment of 1½ cents per acre per year. This co-operative system has been put into effect and more than 450 private owners of forests, to the extent of about 1,250,000 acres of timber, have already taken advantage of this offer. In addition to the above acreage that has been placed under the protection of the Forest Service, the Central Pacific Railroad has also made an agreement whereby 1,500,000 acres of its lands in Siskiyou, Shasta, Trinity, Placer, Nevada, Plumas and Yuba counties, will be taken care of the same way. DECLARES PRESIDENT MISLED AS TO MEXICO Archaeologist Familiar With Conditions Says Affairs Are Growing Worse. William Gates of Baltimore, an archaeologist, in testifying before the House Rules Committee in hearings on the Gould Resolution for an inquiry into Mexican matters declared the Carranza regime in Mexico is "not a government but a band of outlaws, both technically and practically." He asserted the rule of Carranza was utterly impossible and "an enemy of its own people first and America second." Mr. Gates said his opinions were based on what he had personally seen in traveling through the country for about a year beginning in July 1917. THE CURIOSITY OF THE GRIZZLY. "The grizzly has the most curiosity of any animal that I have watched. As curiosity arises from the desire to know, it appears that the superior mentality of the grizzly may be largely due to the alertness which curiosity sustains," writes Enos A. Mills. "Lewis and Clark tell of a bear on a sand-bar who showed interest in their boat as it passed. He raised himself on his hind feet and looked after them, and then plunged into the river and swam toward the boat. This novel outfit should have attracted the attention of any living thing, and a curious grizzly must have been almost overcome with wonder. Yet the explorers erroneously assumed that his intense curiosity and consequent attempt for closer inspection was evidence of ferocity. During the first fifty years of the white man's contact with the grizzly, the bear frequently came close to a man or a camp for a better look; most frontiersmen thought this near approach was ferocity in the bear. Often the bear was greeted with bullets, and in due time he learned to satisfy his curiosity by By the passage of the $40,000,000 good roads bond issue the completion in California of the greatest system of paved and scientifically graded highways in the world is assured, according to A. B. Fletcher, State Highway Engineer. California's network of concrete highways already exceeds those of all Eastern states combined, and the connecting of trunk lines and laterals by the additional $40,000,000 will bring the total expenditure by the state in highway building to $73,000,000. With the new construction the total mileage will be approximately 4,468 miles. In addition to the state highway program, the federal government eventually is counted on to supply about $8,000,000, much of which Fletcher says will be used to strengthen work already done. Concerning the new program Fletcher said the measure provides for the completion of roads as outlined in the State Highway Act. The county work provided for in the second act $15,000,000 bond issue is done away with and all the burden of the construction of lateral highways will be borne by the state. Furthermore, the new measure provides for construction of about 1,650 miles of new state highways not heretofore contemplated as a part of the highway system. In the goods roads bond issue it is provided "that preference shall be given to discharged soldiers, sailors, and marines" as employees in building of the state highways. The State Committee on Readjustment, as the clearing house for some two hundred Placement Bureaus dealing solely with the soldier placement problem, will co-operate with the State Highway Commission in placing the service men through their local Placo- House Rules Committee in hearings on the Gould Resolution for an inquiry into Mexican matters declared the Carranza regime in Mexico is "not a government but a band of outlaws, both technically and practically." He asserted the rule of Carranza was utterly impossible and "an enemy of its own people first and America second." Mr. Gates' said his opinions were based on what he had personally seen in traveling through the country for about a year beginning in July, 1917. In that time he visited Yucatan, Vera Cruz, Pueblo and various Mexican states "to find out what was going on behind the veil of our consorship and the Carranza censorship." He depicted Carranza's control as one enforced by troops and covering the main ports and railroads with scanty territory on each side. Mr. Gates told the committee that the President was misled in deciding to recognize Carranza and was not fully informed of conditions. He thought private interests were being served in the background. Mr. Gates' statement that he did not think the President was fully informed was looked upon by members of the Committee as the more interesting in view of the fact the Administration had special investigators in Mexico with full opportunity to find out the facts. The witness asserted there were few actual bandits other than Carranza soldiers "who are let loose for the purpose of loot and are usually headed by their officers." He never knew of a bandit being prosecuted. "Conditions in Mexico," Mr. Gates said, "are steadily getting worse." Anaheim Gazette, per year, $1.50, payable in advance.

All rented stock must be transferred in office before run starts Anaheim Union Water Company WHAT CITIES PAY FOR COUNTY ROADS Supervisor Finley tells Why Roads in Town are Worse than in Country. The expression is often made, and truly, that streets in cities are notoriously in worse condition than county roads. As a county supervisor representing an incorporated city, I think I may be able to give some information as to why this is the case, says S. H. Finley. It is because the cities are paying such a large percentage of the cost of construction and maintenance of roads outside and at the same time being compelled to construct and maintain their own streets without help from the outside, thus limiting the amount they are able to expend on their own streets. Very few realize how much, for instance, that Santa Ana taxpayers pay for county road work. In order to get this information authoritively I recently went through the auditor's statistical report for 1917-18 (the last one published) and find that Santa Ana property owners and citizens paid for that year $41,691 towards the upkeep of roads outside this city. This is probably about twice as much as the city is able to expend from its general funds on its own streets. I find that the amounts paid by various cities of the county for roads outside their own limits are as follows: Santa Ana ... $41,691 Fullerton ... 38,388 Anaheim ... 13,472 Orange ... 13,020 Huntington Beach ... 5,340 Newport Beach ... 4,711 Seal Beach ... 3,010 Brea ... 2,612 Stanton ... 1,927 Total ... $124,171 If the cities had this money to spend on their own streets for a few years, the criticism for poor city streets would largely disappear. announced that, thereafter he would give two dollars to every dollar given by the churches. Excitement reigned at the closing session of the convention, where, within twenty minutes after Mr. Chapman's offer, $67,000 was pledged. Over $100,000 more will be given, officers of the convention predicted, as soon as the matter is laid before the 160 congregations of this denomination in California. Among the large contributors Saturday afternoon was Mrs. Maria L. Harris of Santa Ana, who gave $25,000 to the project. Mr. Chapman's gift is the largest donated to an educational institution, during the life of the donor, in the history of the denomination. The proposed university will be for Bible instruction and the training of ministers, missionaries or other church workers. It is reported that options have been obtained on a large site in the vicinity of the Los Angeles branch of the University of California. AMERICA'S GREATEST SHIP "The superdreadnaught California, greater than any war vessel ever constructed or dreamed, will become Admiral Rodman's flagship of the Pacific Fleet." This announcement, made by Secretary of the Navy Daniels in an address at the University Club, gave the apogee of enthusiasm to an evening which perhaps brought the Secretary more closely and frankly into touch with his hearers than any of the several occasions where he has formally spoken. In is understood that Admiral Rodman himself only very recently learned which of the thirteen dreadnaughts now under construction and six of which will be assigned to the Pacific Fleet should carry his four-starred flag. The keel of the "California" was laid at the Mare Island Navy Yard some two years ago, but the wartime demand for destroyers has held up its completion.

GENEROUS OFFER TO THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH C. C. Chapman Gives $200,000 to the University Fund. Virtually assuring the success of the $500,000 university project of the Christian or Disciples Church of Southern California, C. C. Chapman, orange king and president of the Christian Church Convention of Southern Califronia for eleven years, offered at the Long Beach convention Saturday to donate $200,000 toward the half million aimed at, provided the churches of the State would give $100,090. He also sessions where he has formally spoken. In is understood that Admiral Rod-man himself only very recently learned which of the thirteen dreadnaughts now under construction and six of which will be assigned to the Pacific Fleet should carry his four-starred flag. The keel of the "California" was laid at the Mare Island Navy Yard some two years ago, but the wartime demand for destroyers has held up its completion. It is now stated by Secretary Daniels that the work, which is under the direction of Captain Henry Gleason, chief of naval construction at Mare Island, will go forward so rapidly that the incomparable ship will be launched within a few months. When this occurs even the "New Mexico," which impresses with its formidable immensity, will be very far outclassed. With a tonnage several thousand in excess of the present flagship, the "California" will have a battery of twelve 16-inch guns as against the 14-inch rifles bristling from the turrets of the "New Mexico." Each of the 16-inch guns will fire a charge weighing 2100 pounds. A broadside from all the big guns of the "California" will be 25,200 pounds; a "New Mexico" broadside is 17,508 pounds. WE DON'T BELIVE THIS It is said that a Kansas former, who became rich growing wheat, in a fit of generosity stuck up the following sign: "Hunters Take Notice: Hunt all you durn please, and when you hear the horn blow come to the house for dinner. If the quail are scarce kill a chicken or two, and if you can't get any squirrels kill a hog."
