In the American Legion Weekly Bulletin of September 8 is an article by Henry L. Marshall, the editor, which Californians generally would do well to read. The theme of the article in question is the preservation of the redwoods. The article evidently was inspired by a visit to one of the states' splendid redwood groves on the occasion of the recent meeting of the legion at Eureka in Humboldt county. What have the redwoods to do with patriotism? The American Legion undertakes to answer this question: Says the legion paper: "When Christ was teaching His strange and fascinating philosophy of love, one to another, on the shores of Gallilee, some of these existing giant specimens of the sempervirens had already fronded over the sunlit spaces on the edge of the river that flows down into the waters of Humboldt bay. They grew in girth and stature until the era of the STATE QUARANTINE AGAINST WHITE FLY A recent quarantine, known as quarantine order No. 42, pertaining to the citrus white fly, was placed on the cities of Sacramento, Marysville and Yuba City by the state department of agriculture. This order was for the purpose of preventing the shipment of any host plants of the citrus white fly into other parts of the state. The quarantine became necessary for the proper protection of the citrus industry of the state against this serious citrus pest, which has, for years, been considered the most serious of all citrus insect pests in the state of Florida, where it has been costing the citrus growers many thousands of dollars in control measures. In addition to attacking the different species of citrus trees, it attacks various other plants, and on any of these may be transferred from one locality to another. For many years a quarantine by this state prohibited the importation of citrus white fly host plants from Florida and gulf states into the state of California, and as early as 1906, this pest had gained a foothold in Marysville, Oroville and Bakersfield. The state and county officials at that time under the state commission of horticulture, immediately attempted to eradicate this dangerous pest by the most drastic measures which public sentiment would permit. Eradication in Oroville and Bakersfield districts was apparently successful and other infestations held down so that at present they are confined to scattered trees on city lots of Marysville, Yuba City and Sacramento. The injury to the trees is caused by the presence of white flies in great numbers sucking the sap from the leaves. This loss of sap stunts the growth and prevents proper development of the fruit. The early stages of the white fly secrete an abundance DECREASING THE Several violator law were pardoned the late President Dion was that country.

The American Legion undertakes to answer this question: Says the legion paper: "When Christ was teaching His strange and fascinating philosophy of love, one to another, on the shores of Gallilee, some of these existing giant specimens of the sempervirens had already fronded over the sunlit spaces on the edge of the river that flows down into the waters of Humboldt bay. They grew in girth and stature until the era of the isle of Britain's slow emergency from savagery, and swept the air at commanding height long years before England formed her birth of freedom, ere Cromwell lay fretful in his cradle. They flourished in unknown majesty before the coming of the first printing press, before Luther changed the religious thought of civilization, before Napoleon dreamed of leading his armies in conquest." "But," says the author, "one after another, in an orgy of devastation, these massive redwoods of the Eureka hinterland, as well as elsewhere in the state, have fallen—these trees that have withstood lightning and attendant fires,flood and earthquake and defied all enemies, except man, who came and gnawed at the base until these forest giants tottered and fell, ending a term of life that outspans the annals of human history." Then follows a patriotic appeal to the membership of the American Legion to befriend these noble forest monarchs, whose life has run parallel with a large portion of the events of recorded history. There is something very fine indeed in the spirit of a body of young men with a record of patriotic service behind them to attest their thorough-going Americanism, thus turning their attention to a sentiment interwoven with the very noblest of human promptings, namely, reverence for the beautiful and storm-tested. Two men with a cross-cut saw and woodsmen's axes can fall in an hour one of these noble monarchs of the woods, and some of them take pleasure in doing it. Great credit is due the public spirited men and women who, in a rational way, have undertaken the preservation of the splendid California redwoods from wasteful devastation. Aid of the brave and patriotic men of the American Legion in redwood protection ought to prove of tremendous assistance. in Oroville and Bakersfield districts was apparently successful and other infestations held down so that at present they are confined to scattered trees on city lots of Marysville, Yuba City and Sacramento. The injury to the trees is caused by the presence of white flies in great numbers sucking the sap from the leaves. This loss of sap stunts the growth and prevents proper development of the fruit. The early stages of the white fly secrete an abundance of honey dew, which becomes smeared over the leaves and makes a median for the development of the sooty mold fungus, which blackens the foliage and also interferes with the proper health of the tree. Fortunately, the citrus fly is not living under favorable climatic conditions for its most abundant development in the localities where it is now present, but its presence here might be as a stepping stone into the leading citrus districts of the state. The citrus white fly is considered the most serious of all insect pests attacking citrus trees, not alone in Florida, but also in other parts of the world. Consequently, it is of the greatest importance that the citrus industry is protected against this pest. In the infested area all neglected plants which are host plants of the white fly should be removed, and choice trees should be freed from this pest, by the owner in co-operation with the county horticultural commissioner. In some cases the proper spraying may accomplish the purpose, while other trees might have to be defoliated during the winter months, but if such work could be carried on with the proper co-operation and the spirit true to a great California industry, even complete eradication of this citrus white fly within the state of California might be accomplished. PROPOSE POSTAGE STAMP WITH CALIFORNIA SCENES The scenic beauties of southern and northern California may be portrayed on federal postage stamps. Instead of describing verbally the multitudinous wonders of a glimpse from Marcy Heights or the rocky shores at Laguna Beach, it may be possible for Orange county boosters merely to affix a stamp on a letter and say to some eastern friend in a brief note: "That's what we have... QUAIL SHOOTER JAILED Shooting quail out of season is a matter of serious reflection, in the opinion of Justice J. B. Cox. So he sent Martin Vusich, of Los Angeles, to the county jail for ten days, that being about the right time and place for such reflection, the court said in pronouncing sentence Monday. Deputy County Game Warden Geo. Harris arrested Vusich last Saturday in Govina canyon. Vusich was said to have had four quail in his possession when taken into custody. Vusich's case is the first in this county in which violation of the game laws was punished by a jail sentence. It was understood to mark a new era in the enforcement of game protection, locally, at least. When arrested, Busich gave his address as 1196 East Forty-Seventh street, Los Angeles. Deputy Harris also arrested Lewis F. Wood, of Hynes, Sunday in the same canyon. Wood, it was said, had one quail. He was accompanied by his brother and father. The spot where Harris came upon the hunters was across the line in Riverside county. Prosecution of the case will take place, accordingly, in that county, it was announced. The scenic beauties of southern and northern California may be portrayed on federal postage stamps. Instead of describing verbally the multitudinous wonders of a glimpse from Marcy Heights or the rocky shores at Laguna Beach, it may be possible for Orange county boosters merely to affix a stamp on a letter and say to some eastern friend in a brief note: "That's what we have here." Senator Samuel Shortridge, it was learned here, intends, at the next session of congress, to introduce a measure calling for a special issue of stamps on which would appear various California scenes. Shortridge's plan, it was pointed out, has the approval of Senator Hiram Johnson, Governor Richardson and a number of southern California chamber of commerce officials. J. C. Metzgar, secretary of the Santa Ana chamber of commerce, is one of those who favor the proposal. "It would be a great advertisement for California," Metzgar said, "and anything that will call attention in the cast to the advantages of living in this state ,particularly in the unmatched southland, meets with my approval." "It is my personal opinion, however, that the national legislators would either vote down the bill or else alter it to such an extent that California would be fortunate to obtain one or two views of the entire set." When an automobile balks, the most advice about how to start it comes from those who don't own automobiles and as often as anybody else's it is right. DECREASING THE UNDESIRABLES Several violators of the espionage law were pardoned conditionally by the late President Harding. The condition was that they be sent out of the country. They sought to obviate the necessity of departing according to implied contract. The court has dismissed their writs of habeas corpus, and soon they will be on their way. There appears not the slightest reason why they should feel aggrieved. These men in war time had been guilty of obstructing the draft. This made enemies of them. Their acts had all the color of treason. By the laws of war they held a status no better than that of spies, and harsh measures would have prescribed capital punishment for each. The assertion frequently made, that these and their kind, had committed no offense beyond that of expressing their opinions, is too palpably false to need reply. It is strange that they should have fought deportation. They had not been satisfied with anything here. They would have been glad to assist in the otherthrow of the government. In their belief ideal life was to be found only such a model regime as that of Russia. The sight of prosperity annoyed them. The evidence of patriotism was obnoxious. They denounced all with which they came in contact. Their duty, as they conceived it, was to tear down; as to building up, they had no thought. The task of converting one hundred million people to their monstrous doctrines obviously was too great for accomplishment by a handful of alien malcontents: Yet across the sea, all ready made and waiting, were precisely the conditions they fancied their roils craved. The government, its first mild resentment having waned, was willing not only to let them go to home and happiness, but to pay for their passage. And yet they complain. They're an ungrateful lot, that's what they are.

Stephensen, of Santa Ana, members of the agricultural education committee appointed by the regional board of the farm bureau. Members of the committee, at a meeting held in Los Angeles Saturday were instructed to return to their counties and get answers to the general question. It was assumed however that there was a demand for a high-class agricultural institution in southern California. The committee is charged with the duty of persuading the regents of the University of California that the assumption is true. In order to have persuasive data on hand, the committees will gather information from various organizations such as farm bureaus, chambers of commerce, clubs and schools. Definite plans as to how the information will be gathered in this county have not been stated.

MARK IS WORTH MORE AS JUNK Owing to the great depreciation of the German mark one, two and five pound bundles of mark notes command higher value from the junk man than they are worth as bank notes, according to D. F. Robertson, head of the Robertson travel bureau. Mr. Robertson and his party have just completed a two weeks' tour through Germany, during which he noted many interesting conditions. Two thousand one-mark notes weigh one pound, he says, and the jpnk man pays 3000 marks per pound. Mr. Robertson found a deep disquietude prevailing throughout Germany, which, he believes, is a result of the policy of France. He predicts a revolution in Germany. In this connection his text is as follows: "There will doubtless be a revolution in Germany in the near future. The Germans are industrious, their crops excellent; yet they are taxed to the limit and the money is practically worthless." Santa Ana Monumental Works BEN P.
