WASHINGTON LETTER (From Our Regular Correspondent.) Senator La Follette's latest pronunciation is everywhere regarded as confirming the long entertained belief that the Wisconsinite purposes to run for president on an independent ticket. Already petitions are being circulated asking that electors for La Follette be placed on the ballots. Just what La Follette's purpose is none can surmise. He knows he cannot be elected. He knows that his candidacy can have only one of two effects, either to draw from Coolidge just enough votes to cause the election of the Democratic candidate, or to throw the election into the House because no candidate has a majority in the electoral college. And there is every prospect that the latter effect of the La Follette candidacy would result in chaos. Apparently the House will be too evenly divided to elect a President, in which case the election would go to the Senate, which would be compelled to elect as President one of the vice-presidential candidates. La Follette has never forgiven Theodore Roosevelt for running in 1912, after La Follette's spectacular breakdown at Philadelphia. This fact leads many to believe that his motive is purely a desire for revenge, a determination that the Republican party, because it will not give him the nomination, shall not win. But whatever his motive there is no denying the fact that his apparent purpose is occasioning serious anxiety among the leaders of both parties. That Congress has deliberately made the United States pull the board of Japan and has thus courted war is the conviction of most high ranking officers of the army and navy. of this forage was only a little over half of the farm value of all crops. Total farm value of crops and crop products used for forage in 1919 was nearly $8,000,000,000. The value of all crops and crop products used for human food was about $4,650,000,000. The value of all crops and crop products used for fiber and other purposes was about $2,620,000,000. EFFECTS OF THE DROUTH Throughout the state as a whole the past winter has been one of the driest shown in records extending back in some cases for fifty years, according to the Railroad Commission. Such snow as fell in the mountains came late in the spring and the indications are that practically all of it has already melted. The maximum flow reached by the mountain streams as a result of the melting of this snow has been far below normal and the water is already falling rapidly. These conditions will, of course, result in an output of hydro-electric power far below normal. This fact, coupled with the rapidly increasing demand for power throughout southern California, partly as a result of the growth of the territory and partly as a result of the dry year brings the companies face to face with a serious situation. During the first months of the year the amount of electricity sold has been from 18 to 37 per cent in excess of corresponding months o'f the previous year. The most serious situation is on the system of the Southern California Edison Company which has been confronted with the largest increase in demand due to the growth of Los Angeles and surrounding territory. This company has been making contracts for the purchase of all available characteristic feeds power development interconnected, linking stations with nets covering larger er systems—as is isolated stations needs of the immei- "The developp- systems is making greater use of with a consequent says Mr. Merrill, ford the very co-water powers can operated.

But whatever his motive there is no denying the fact that his apparent purpose is occasioning serious anxiety among the leaders of both parties. That Congress has deliberately made the United States pull the beard of Japan and has thus courted war is the conviction of most high ranking officers of the army and navy, who add that this country is wholly unprepared for war with Japan at this time and that nothing could have been more unwise and unpatriotic than to take action regarded as an insult by every Japanese, when the same end, the exclusion of the Japanese, could easily have been accomplished by diplomatic and unoffensive means. The summer will be marked by two investigations of prohibition enforcement, one conducted by Senator Couzens of Michigan with, presumably, Francis J. Heney, noblest muck-raker of them all, as its special counsel, the other run by Rep. Cable of Ohio and his committee on Alcoholic Liquor Traffic, which has just held its first meeting in five years. As everyone knows there have been grave defects in prohibition enforcement but there is a wide difference of opinion as to where the responsibility lies. In the Internal Revenue Bureau there are broad intimations that Congressmen are largely to blame because of the character o f the men they have, not only enthusiastically endorsed but, have practically insisted should be appointed prohibition agents. IMPORTANCE OF FORAGE Seven-tenths of the 365,000,000 acres of land occupied by crops harvested in the census year 1919, were used to produce forage, that is, concentrates and roughage for live stock, says the Department of Agriculture. The area used to produce forage in that year was approximately 257,000,000 acres. This compares with 67,000,000 acres or about two-tenths of the total crop area, used for producing food for human consumption, and 32,000,000 acres, or about one-tenth of the crop area, used for other purposes, principally to grow cotton, tobacco, and flax. As used by the department, the term forage means all vegetable nutrition, fresh or cured, which is consumed by domestic animals.

As used by the department, the term forage means all vegetable nutrient, fresh or cured, which is consumed by domestic animals. It includes pasturage, browse, mast, green feed, hay, straw, silage, and grain. Besides the forage harvested from these 257,000,000 acres, live stock consumed the product of about 60,000,000 acres of humid improved pasture, of probably 171,000,000 acres of humid unimproved grassland pasture over half of which was in farms, and of about 237,000,000 acres of forest and cut-over pasture ownership and in national forests. Live stool also grazed over perhaps 587,000,000 acres of arid or semi-arid grass land in the West. These facts are held to warrant the conclusion that live stock consumed about three-fourths of the product of the improved land in the country and practically all the product of unimproved pastures and grazing land. In this connection it is pointed out that the census classification "Hay and Forage" does not include many crops usually used for forage. It does not include corn (except fodder.) and corn is the most important of all crops used for forage. Thus the census report presents a very incomplete picture of our forage resources, when the word forage is used in its broadest sense. Forage crops, however, do not bulk so large in value as in area occupied.

"The development of superpower systems is making practicable a much greater use of our water powers, with a consequent saving of fuel," says Mr. Merrill. "These systems afford the very conditions under which water powers can be most effectively operated." "The centralization of power development and distribution through the medium of these superpower systems will make possible decentralization of industry. When our industries are operated by direct steam power and their energy requirements are supplied in the form of coal, they must locate near established transportation lines; and they tend, therefore, to concentrate at certain favorable points, creating our crowded urban conditions and our congested terminals. "When the energy can be supplied in the form of electricity and delivered over a wire, and when the supply is equally available in country and city, there will no longer be occasion for the crowding we now deplore." "CODLING MOTH" The walnut Codling Moth is a pest that has caused the walnut growers considerable worry and has been doing damage to walnuts for a number of years. The first infestations of economic importance were found at Carpinteria in Santa Barbara County, and Santa Ana and Eustin in Orange County. This pest can be controlled with "I then introduced the subject of tariff and he admitted with much confusion that he had no idea how much the per capita burden of all customs duties really is; he only knew they must be large, and that in 'free trade' England, they must be much smallled. "I then gave him the indisputable figures for 1921 and 1922 in the United States which show a per capita customs of $2.85 against a per capita customs in Great Britain and Ireland of $13.87 for the same period. He was amazed to find that it would cost him or his gardner, Rockfeller or Ford, only 1.4 cents per day for the advantage of having our workmen and industries, not fully protected by any means, but partially protected. "He was surprised that the customs duties were greater in England than in the United States, and that in England the poor paid the taxes, through the heaviest customs being levied on the necessities of life, which is not the case in the United States, and that under the English system and articles taxed, the poor were not protected either in their jobs or in their wage. "England would have had very little unemployment today if she had gone no further than holding her home markets instead of having them flooded by foreign manufactures, and thus reducing by 25 per cent or 30 per cent or 50 per cent or more, her factory output, resulting, of course, in increased costs and idle workers." A discussion of this subject from the standpoint of the facts involved is not politics but just plain ordinary business and should not be considered as a Republican or a Democratic issue.

The first infestations of economic importance were found at Carpinteria in Santa Barbara County, and Santa Ana and Eustin in Orange County. This pest can be controlled with the use of the regular stomach poison sprays used for the control of mandibulated insects. A good many mistakes have been made in an effort to control this insect. One of the most important of these is the time of application of the material if a considerable percentage of the worms have entered the walnuts. In order to prevent this a careful watch must be kept of the grove and as soon as the eggs began to hatch and before the worms enter the nuts, the material should be applied. Last year we were able to begin work against this insect along the latter part of May. This year, due to the irregularity in the way the walnut trees are coming out and the backwardness of conditions in general, it will be necessary to apply the material a little later for optimum results. From field inspection and from advice that we have received from authorities on this subject, I feel sure that the later part of this week and the first of next week will be the ideal time for the first application of basic arsenate of lead in this years control program. The best known control for this pest is 5 lbs. of basic arsenate of lead, and 1/2 pt. of 40 per cent nicotine sulphate to 100 gallons of water. Or if the orchard is dusted, a dust composed of 15 per cent arsenate of lead, and 2 per cent nicodust, should be applied. It is conceded by experimentors and authorities, that spraying is superior to dusting. Either of these methods when properly applied and timed sb as to catch the majority of the worms before they enter the nuts, will give satisfactory results. This combination spray or dust above mentioned will control Codling Moth and the walnut Aphis. Last year where the material was applied both in the form of dust and spray and properly timed the results were better than expected. One grove where a large acreage was treated by both methods, the infestation was reduced from 12 per cent in 1922 without treatment, to 3 per cent in 1923 after treatment. OPTIMISM IN OIL INDUSTRY Recognized leaders and experts in the oil industry declare there is nothing in the present situation to cause any great concern regarding outlook for the industry during the remainder of the year. Record-breaking consumption of gasoline is expected during the coming summer, also a large consumption of lubricants and other products. Weekly increases and reductions in production of crude oil, they state, are to be expected. Marlon Star.—The trouble with the Mellon tax-reduction plan was that it was too good to meet the approval of a small calibre Congress. A man is no more successful than his digestion. YOU NEED NOT Your Backbone will tell Me What and Where Your T LEADERS SHOULD KNOW FACTS Why is that when some one wishes to stir up a row between the Republicans and the Democrats, they drag in the tariff question? As a matter of fact, the tariff or protection for American workmen and industries, is not a political issue and should be considered equally by Republicans and Democrats as a nonpartisan issue. A prominent manufacturer who has to sell his products to both Republicans and Democrats, says: "I recently had an old friend of mine in the office. He is an eloquent public speaker and a man of parts and standing. While he talks glibly to his audiences about our grinding import duties, he has never studied the matter. I put him on the 'grill' and told him it was the duty of a man who professed to be a leader of men and of public opinion, to study the things about which he talked." DR. JOSEPH H.
