AVOID INJURY IN FUMIGATION OF TREES PROF. H. J. QUAYLE TELLS HOW TO SAFELY USE LIQUID GAS Great Care Should Be Taken to Prevent Damage, While Treating Young Citrus Trees—Injuries Due to Acid Striking Tree Trunk While in the Liquid Form Injury to young trees following fumigation was first called to the attention of the writer by Earl L. Morris, horticultural commissioner of Orange county, and Inspector Collins of the Anaheim district. Since there was a fungus associated with the type of injury in question there was some doubt at first as to whether the fungus was the primary or the secondary cause of the injury. Upon seeing further evidence of this trouble during the past winter, however, we became convinced that the primary cause was due to the fumigation as first suspected by Mr. Collins. In order to secure further evidence the Citrus Experiment Station carried out certain experiments at Anaheim and Riverside. Injury to small trees may be due to the hydrocyanic acid striking the trunk in the liquid form before it has become transformed into gas. The first general effect of such injury, may be seen by young trees here and there in a grove having yellow leaves. J. M. Inman, president of the league, speakers of ability will be sent to different parts of the state to inform the people of the Oriental menace and of the importance of passing the initiative measure. "However," said Inman, "the people of California have become so thoroughly aroused to the menace of the Japanese and other Orientals that I don't think it will be necessary to place a corps of speakers in the field. The great majority of voters realize something must be done to relieve present conditions, and I am confident the measure will carry overwhelmingly." Those opposed to the measure will do all in their power to bring about the defeat of the act. John P. Irish, who has led the fight on behalf of the Japanese, recently announced he will make a speaking tour of the state in the interest of the Japanese and against the initiative measure. He is virtually the only whiteman in the state who has come out openly against the measure and defended the Japanese. STATUS OF ALIENS Aliens ineligible to citizenship in the United States will be prohibited from acting as guardians of the estates of a minor which consists of property which such alien or corporation is prohibited from acquiring, under the terms of the amended anti-alien land act that will be voted on at the general election in November. Aliens, especially Japanese, have been taking advantage of the loophole in the present anti-alien land law to acquire agricultural lands by acting as guardians of the estates of minor children born in this country. In cases where it becomes necessary to appoint a guardian to look after vinced that the primary cause was due to the fumigation as first suspected by Mr. Collins. In order to secure further evidence the Citrus Experiment Station carried out certain experiments at Anaheim and Riverside. In injury to small trees may be due to the hydrocyanic acid striking the trunk in the liquid form before it has become transformed into gas. The first general effect of such injury, may be seen by young trees here and there in a grove having yellow foliage and otherwise unthrifty in appearance. Such symptoms may be due to other causes, however, and it is necessary to examine the trunk above and below the surface for the characteristic injury by the liquid. The bark at or below the surface turns brown in color and becomes spongy in texture which is easily rubbed off. Later a checking of the bark above ground occurs and a fungus appears characterized by the reddish bodies that may be seen on the trunk. Such injury to young trees has occurred most frequently in the vicinity of Anaheim although trees have been killed in other sections. The seriousness of the injury depends upon how much of the bark is killed. In a number of cases the bark has been killed all around and the tree, of course, dies. The damage varies from trees killed outright to those that may be but slightly injured. We have not seen trees injured beyond five years of age excepting older trees that had been recently budded. The older the bark the more immune is the tree from injury, but there may be cases where more or less local injury occurs to older trees, but only rarely is it extensive enough to affect the entire tree. It is well known that where the liquid is spilled on the ground and comes in contact with the roots that a part or all of the tree will be killed. Fortunately, such injury as discussed above can be readily overcome by avoiding placing the nozzle so that the tree trunk is close to the nozzle and in direct line of the discharge. Such a condition is most likely to occur in the fumigation of small trees where the skirt of the tent is not far enough away to keep the machine at a safe distance. In the case of the recently budded trees, 7 or 8 years old, referred to it is believed that the injury occurred as in younger trees because the foliage did not hold the tent far enough away from the trunk. While the older trees are more resistant than the young trees, probably more cases of local injury, property which such alien or corporation is prohibited from acquiring, under the terms of the amended anti-alien land act that will be voted on at the general election in November. Aliens, especially Japanese, have been taking advantage of the loophole in the present anti-alien land law to acquire agricultural lands by acting as guardians of the estates of minor children born in this country. In cases where it becomes necessary to appoint a guardian to look after the estate of a minor, the new law provides that the public administrator of the proper court, or any citizen or competent corporation, may be appointed guardian. In addition to prohibiting an alien parent from acting as guardian of the estate of a minor child, the new law provides that the guardian appointed must file a report with the superior court to show that the interests of the ward are being justly administered. Also, the new law provides that guardians or trustees, as they may be termed, must file annually in the office of the secretary of state and in the office of the county clerk of each county in which the property of the minor is situated, a report showing the amount of property held, when purchased, and an account of expenditures and income from the property. Violation of this section of the law is made a misdemeanor, and is punishable by a fine not exceeding $1000 or by imprisonment in the county jail not exceeding one year, or both such fine and imprisonment. COX'S DIVORCE In explanation of his recent published statement, which has aroused nation-wide interest, to the effect that the divorce of Governor James M. Cox is likely to exert a prejudicial influence against his candidacy for the presidency of the United States, especially in the eyes of women voters, Judge Willis Vickery of Ohio, who granted Mrs. Cox her decree, gave an elaborated state of his views on the subject at the Hotel De Luxe, Long Beach, where the jurist is residing during a vacation in Southern California. The strong sentiment against divorce crystallizing everywhere, and particularly among women, will be one of the important factors which will contribute to the defeat of Governor Cox, in the opinion of Judge Vickery. "A million voters who do not believe property which such alien or corporation is prohibited from acquiring, under the terms of the amended anti-alien land act that will be voted on at the general election in November." May was here lining Howard Walker east in the Nash area. M. May also become Sr., returned to his at once made preemptive family here.

TURKISH TOBACCO PRICE That an excellent tobacco of the kinded for cigarette use country, can be be Southern California by John Glenn of Tennessee tobacco tasting a bumper crest set out in Monrovia. Mr. Glenn, who David Ford of Los Angeles planted in a acres field in Moor will realize more cured tobacco to be of course, is deprived and varies from pound. The Monrovia has grown leafless since his boyhood fully raised crops in trial California. He is the first commercial Turkish tobacco plantia, and will prove the forerunner dustry. The tobacco grows a cross between tans and Kavala Turkki sides its use in cigars of the body of seven mixtures. The Tans one foot in length half that in width smaller than their which, also, Mr. Cox ing. That the profits in Southern California favorable condition yield of the dia plantings. Acrovia planter, whose account of expenses with his tobacco growing cultivating, picking of the crop, Such a condition is most likely to occur in the fumigation of small trees where the skirt of the tent is not far enough away to keep the machine at a safe distance. In the case of recently budded trees, 7 or 8 years old, referred to it is believed that the injury occurred as in younger trees because the foliage did not hold the tent far enough away from the trunk. While the older trees are more resistant than the young trees, probably more cases of local injury at least would occur in old trees if the liquid was applied as directly to the trunk as in the case of small trees. To avoid striking the trunk of small trees, the nozzle may be placed to one side of the tree and the machine placed back at a safe distance, or the nozzle may be placed just beyond the tree trunk so that the spray is directed to the opposite side of the tent. The number of small trees injured or killed in the careless way described will probably reach into the hundreds and it represents a serious loss to the growers. Fumigators who have not already learned to avoid such injury through experience should strongly impress upon their generators the necessity of properly placing the nozzle of the machine during the fumigation of small trees. TO EXCLUDE ORIENTALS A vigorous campaign will be waged by the California Oriental Exclusion league for the passage of the amended anti-allen land law which will be voted on at the general election in November. The measure was placed on the ballot through the initiative. The campaign to urge the people to support this measure will be directed by the exclusion league, which will be assisted by all other anti-Asiatic organizations, lodges, farmers' organizations and many civic bodies throughout the state. If necessary, according to Senator elaborated state of his views on the subject at the Hotel De Luxe, Long Beach, where the jurist is residing during a vacation in Southern California. The strong sentiment against divorce crystallizing everywhere, and particularly among women, will be one of the important factors which will contribute to the defeat of Governor Cox, in the opinion of Judge Vickery. "A million voters who do not believe in severing the marriage relation will vote against Cox because he is a divorced man," said the judge. "I do not recall all the circumstances surrounding the divorce suit for the reason that at the time Governor Cox was a member of congress from a southern Ohio district and was not so well known then as now. There was nothing very unusual about the entire matter. I was a judge of the common pleas court in Cuyahoga county at the time and Mrs. Cox asked for a divorce on the ground of gross neglect of duty. The Ohio law provides that all divorce cases shall be proven and it is only fair to presume that in this instance evidence was submitted to make a case. Mr. Cox did not appear to deny his wife's charges and I granted a decree. "I am under the impression that the children went with the mother and lived with her in Cleveland the greater part of the time, going to their father at frequent intervals. As the daughter grew to womanhood she assumed charge of her father's house and spent most of her time with him." Under the Ohio statute "gross neglect of duty" is one of that state's five grounds for divorce and covers many forms of domestic shortcomings on the part of the defendant in a divorce case. ABBEY PROFITEERING Earl Abbey chief deputy in the off- ANAHEIM GAZETTE face of the county clerk, is not profitering, but just the same he is sticking away in his jeans more money made in the last eight months by the sale of his home than he will pick up in a couple of years' service in his official capacity, says the Register. He has sold his home at 315 South Main street, bought last November, to W. C. May, who has come here from Gothenberg, Nebraska, to make his home. Abbey is now a "curb pup"—that is, he hasn't a home at this time that he can call his own. He and his wife now are engaged in the popular outdoor sport of today—trying to find a new home. The "nadame" has decided ideas as to what she wants for a home and where she wants it—and there's the rub. Abbey is out of a home today for the same reason that others recently have been separated from a place to live in. Abbey was perfectly satisfied and didn't want to sell. He put a price on his residence that he thought would hold it for him forever. Now he is willing to acknowledge that what he knows about realty values in Santa Ana is nil, for the fine home property was snapped up by May without hesitation at the price quoted—$8500. Abbey has been too busy with his duties at the court house to keep tab on property conditions in Santa Ana—and now he is "sorry that he spoke." May was here last winter and with Howard Walker purchased an interest in the Nash agency, his son, Wm. M. May, also becoming interested. May, Sr., returned to his eastern home and at once made preparations to bring the family here. Returning a few weeks ago he was successful in renting a house on South Broadway. He will take possession of his new home on Main street as soon as Abbey can find another residence. The gophers and jack-rabbits have developed a strong taste for the weed, but they can be controlled, Mr. Glenn says. Should the quality of the southern-grown leaf prove as good as expected, the crop will undoubtedly prove a most profitable one to grow, in Mr. Glenn's opinion. The culture of Virginia tobacco, now being tried, is interesting in that the leaf is a third larger and consequently gives a much heavier pound-yield to the acre. Mr. Glenn and Mr. Ford are planning to set out a much larger acreage next season. WHAT IS THE USE? The railway wage raise was intended to make the income of the transportation workers of the country adequate to meet the cost of living. Unless it does so, the whole trouble will have been in vain. But there are plenty of people trying to keep it from remaining so. Altoona is one of the largest railroad centers in the state of Pennsylvania. The Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen had a lodge of about 1000 members there. W. G. Lee, president of the brotherhood, has received a letter from one of the officers of this lodge, saying that immediately after the announcement of the railroad labor board's wage award, several of the members had received notice that their house rents would be raised $10 per month. It seems hardly likely that natural causes operating in the field of real estate are responsible for these raises at this time. The instinctive belief of the average reader, of such a bit of news would be that the landlords had waited to learn what the wage raise would be, in order to raise the rents "all the traffic would bear."

TURKISH TOBACCO PROVES GOOD CROP That an excellent grade of Turkish tobacco of the kind that is largely used for cigarette manufacture in this country, can be profitably grown in Southern California has been proved by John Glenn of Monrovia, a former Tennessee tobacco planter, who is getting a bumper crop from thirty acres set out in Monrovia and Arcadia. Mr. Glenn, who with his partner, David Ford of Los Angeles, has twenty acres planted in Arcadia and a nine-acre field in Monrovia, believes he will realize more than 800 pounds of cured tobacco to the acre. The price, of course, is dependent upon the quality and varies from 60 cents to $1 a pound. The Monrovia tobacco planter, who has grown the leaf in the old south since his boyhood, has also successfully raised crops in northern and central California. His crop in Monrovia is the first commercial planting of Turkish tobacco in Southern California, and will, Mr. Glenn believes, prove the forerunner of a profitable industry. The tobacco grown in Monrovia is a cross between the famous San Soun and Kavala Turkish tobaccos, and besides its use in cigarettes, forms a part of the body of several well-known pipe mixtures. The Turkish leaf is about one foot in length on the average and half that in width. It is nearly a third smaller than the Virginia leaf, with which, also, Mr. Glenn is experimenting. That the profits from tobacco culture in Southern California are large under favorable conditions is indicated in the yield of the Monrovia and Arcadia plantings. According to the Monrovia planter, who has kept a careful account of expenses in connection with his tobacco growing, the planting, cultivating, picking, curing and baling of the crop, together with rent of the members had received notice that their house rents would be raised $10 per month. It seems hardly likely that natural causes operating in the field of real estate are responsible for these raises at this time. The instinctive belief of the average reader, of such a bit of news would be that the landlords had waited to learn what the wage raise would be, in order to raise the rents "all the traffic would bear." If everybody who serves the railroad men—which finally comes down to everybody who serves anyone in the country, is going to take advantage of the wage award to boost prices, nothing will have been accomplished at all. This is preeminently the time for everybody who can possibly live on his present wages or profits to stand pat. A little self denial in the way of luxuries, a little extra work to push production up out of the hole it has been in for five years, and the trick will be turned. Living will come down, there will be enough necessaries for everybody, and life will be more comfortable and settled all around. CANNING FRUIT WITHOUT SUGAR On account of the present high price of sugar many are now considering reducing the family supply of canned fruit. This is not necessary as all fruit which is agreeable to eat fresh without sugar is also agreeable to eat when canned without sugar, but the fruit must be thoroughly ripe before being canned. If canned when it reaches this condition, it is excellent without sugar and much superior to imperfectly ripe fruit canned with any amount of sugar. By allowing the fruit to become dead ripe before canning it gains in flavor, texture and sweetness. A few fruits, such as free stone peaches are best canned as soon as possible after harvesting. Most fruits, such as apricots, pears, apples and berries, improve in flavor, texture and sweetness if stored a day or two or in some cases, longer in a moderately cool, dry place before canning. When fruit is canned in the ordinary way, it is surrounded in the can with a liquid consisting of water, sugar, and the juice of the fruit. The amount of sugar used depends on the acidity of the fruit and the taste of the consumer. It may, in many cases, be omitted in whole or in part, especially if care is taken in diminishing the amount of jars. Place the lid on the boiler and heat the water to boiling. After the water boils, continue the heating for twenty minutes for most fruits. Pears, apricots, and clingstone peaches require twenty-five to thirty minutes unless very ripe. Remove the jars and tighten the caps while the fruit is still boiling hot. SALVATION ARMY ACTIVITIES Recognition of the growing importance of The Salvation Army's activities on the Pacific coast is given in a sweeping reorganization of the command of the army, including the creation of a new western territory, embracing twelve states, with territorial headquarters in San Francisco. The change will become effective about September 1. The territory will be under the command of a commissioner who will be directly responsible to the commander in chief at national headquarters in New York. Colonel Adam Gifford, one of the oldest Salvation Army officers in point of service in the United States has been named commissioner of the territory. He has just relinquished command of the army's forces in New England. The states under his jurisdiction will be California, Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Nevada, Utah, Arizona, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico and the Hawaiian Islands. In preparation for this transfer of administrative work from Chicago to San Francisco the army has purchased a four-story building. In addition to housing the territorial and provincial offices it will also include a training college for young men and women entering the army's service, an auditorium for public meetings and dining room for the Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner to the poor. A western edition of The War Cry, the official organ of the army will also be published here. Mr. Glenn planted his crop in April and May, after propagating the plants from seeds that he had picked from another crop last year. A score of women and boys are now at work helping to prepare the leaves for curing. After being cut from the parent stock the leaves are carried to the tobacco shed where they are strung on long twines, in strings averaging about fifteen pounds each. These strings are attached to lath and set on drying racks in the sun. The tobacco is "sun-cured" for three or four weeks and then removed to the sheds again for two or three weeks of sweating, after which it is baled and ready for sale. The crop is cured by the first of October. Sale is made by sample, the planter guaranteeing his product to be equal to the leaf submitted as a basis for price-fixing. Two markets, one in San Francisco and one in New York are getting the Monrovia and Arcadia crops. Tobacco culture is neither difficult nor expensive in Southern California, according to Mr. Glenn. Pests of the insect type are practically non-existent, there are no hall storms to cut the leaves to ribbons, as sometimes happens in the south, and on fair soil, with irrigation, a good crop is practi- riles, improve in flavor, texture and sweetness if stored a day or two or in some cases, longer in a moderately cool, dry place before canning. When fruit is canned in the ordinary way, it is surrounded in the can with a liquid consisting of water, sugar, and the juice of the fruit. The amount of sugar used depends on the acidity of the fruit and the taste of the consumer. It may, in many cases, be omitted in whole or in part, especially if care is taken in diminishing the amount of water used as much as possible. The following method is recommended: The fruit is sorted, washed, peeled, pitted, or otherwise prepared as in ordinary home canning. It is then placed in a pot on the stove with a little water to prevent scorching. The amount of water added will vary with the fruit to be canned; firm fruits requiring more than berries or soft fruits. Heat slowly to boiling, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking and starching. Allow to simmer until the fruit has exuded sufficient juice to cover it. For berries and very soft fruits, the time of boiling should be about three to five minutes and for firm fruits, about five to ten minutes. While the fruit is being prepared, heat jars, rubbers, and covers in boiling water. A large dishpan is convenient for this purpose. Ladle the hot fruit through a funnel into the hot jars and add enough of the hot juice to cover the fruit and to fill the jars completely. Any juice that is left over may be used with the next lot of fresh fruit instead of water. Place the rubbers and caps on the jars in position, but not screw or clamp down tight. Leave the caps on the jars loose enough for the escape of steam during the sterilization process. Place the jars on a false wooden or wire screen bottom in a wash boiler or large pot containing enough water to rise to about one-half or two-thirds the height of the administrative work from Chicago to San Francisco the army has purchased a four-story building. In addition to housing the territorial and provincial offices it will also include a training college for young men and women entering the army's service, an auditorium for public meetings and dining room for the Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner to the poor. A western edition of The War Cry, the official organ of the army will also be published here. This re-organization is in line with the army's efforts to more adequately meet the growing demands upon its services in the western state. PACKING CHILIS The California Packing corporation started the wheels of the big plant Tuesday for a continuous run to near the end of the year—or until frost kills off the chill peppers. The plant started Tuesday morning at 7:00 o'clock with about 150 women on the payroll. This number will be increased a little each day as the plant and workers get into the swing of the work until the number has been increased to about 300. For the next three or four months, with five or six possible if cold weather does not strike here earlier, the cannery management will be distributing many hundreds of dollars weekly to male and female employees. Good wages are being paid, with fast workers at piece-work making handsome wages daily. It is estimated that the cannery will increase its output at least 25 per cent over any previous season. Two million empty cans are in storage in the warehouse, and it is expected that between one million and a million and a half of these will be used in canning pimientos and chillis.
