Join now! The American Red Cross Serves Humanity JUNIOR AMERICAN RED CROSS ARMY 5,596,663 Children of 29,942 Schools Now Enrolled in Movement of Service to Humanity. The American Junior Red Cross, which was organized as a children's auxiliary during war-times especially to help the young refugees in Europe, and to exemplify in peace-time the Red Cross ideal of service, has now a membership of 5,596,663 in the schools of the United States and the insular possessions. This Junior movement gives opportunity for the children to share in Red Cross effort parallel to that of the parent organization. Juniors are therefore identified in varying degree with the health services, disaster relief work, salvage and other suitable activities of value to the operations of the Red Cross. It is a valiant host marching on under its "1 Serve" banner in the cause of happier childhood everywhere and particularly wherever the American flag files. The enrollment embraces 29,942 schools and 147,486 school rooms, a gain over 1923 of 5,655 schools and 22,414 school rooms. The year's gain in membership was 769,402 children, or nearly 80,000 for each month of the school year. The educational and social values of the Junior Red Cross movement is thus evidencing the firm and cordial endorsement of school authorities. The government has added the weight of recognition by extending the Junior Red Cross in the schools for American Indian children. The American Red Cross is also planning to develop the Junior program in 600 rural schools in isolated sections. There is no abatement of the exchange of correspondence between schools in the United States and schools in the insular possessions and foreign lands. During the year TREE TROUBLES The following article was written by Robert W. Hodgson for the Cultivator: The history of a young agricultural industry is usually one of ever increasing troubles with diseases and pests as the industry grows and expands. Such has proved to be the case with many of the crops grown in California and it now appears that the fig industry has been going through the same procedure. A few years ago, with the exception of some losses from splitting and souring arrying from year to year, the fig was regarded as being comparatively free from disease and pests of a serious character. That a modification in this attitude is now necessary seems to be indicated by the results of work done by the experiment station during recent years in investigations of diseases of the fig. A recent conference of fig growers held at Modesto for the purpose of requesting the college of agriculture to continue the investigations now under way and likely to lapse in the near future for lack of financial support, together with a few days spent in the fig districts of the San Joaquin Valley, furnished me with opportunity to gain first hand knowledge in regard to the present status both of the investigational work which has been done and the extent and seriousness of the diseases receiving attention. But first in order to emphasize the importance of these troubles it may be worth while to present data concerning the rapid surges which the fig industry has made in recent years. While a few years ago the total acreage in the state was considerably less than 1,000 acres the most recent fig trees available show that today there are in excess of 5,000 acres planted to this crop. Of this acreage slightly more than half, or approximately 30,000 are planted to the Calimyrna variety and slightly more than half that The present status of seems to be about as All varieties appear a certain amount of especially those in which the fruit is relatively by the Callimyra and titles. In 1917 Isolated gas of the sterigmatoxia suggested that it was ducted into the fruits which are frequently the fruit on the group lips, in a more intensely lips, in a much more later showed that a fungus, asperillus, is sponsible for this dislabeled fact that into the fruits by beetle. Colt and Johnson investigating splitting the conclusion now goes this is a mechanical teristic of certain figs do not have a hollow it does not possess and therefore under fluctuating moisture soft and atmosphere cool ing season cannot splitting, the Calimyrna specially susceptible. Some strains of the much more subject others, the Stanford commonly regarded therefore a nonspiltt While it appears to particular variety, it diences, notably low color for canning, whit it desirable as a su Calimyrna. Since the climatic responsible for splitting trolled by the grower that the solution to in the development other strains of the have a hollow center RED CROSS RAISES $10,000,000 IN 21 DAYS FOR RELIEF Terrible catastrophes, such as the Japanese earthquake, prove the wisdom of the people in maintaining the American Red Cross as their national and international relief agency. The readiness of the Red Cross for duty in the greatest of emergencies was also proved by test. The record shows: Sept. 3, President Coolidge assigns the duty of raising $5,000,000 to the American Red Cross; Sept. 4, Red Cross Chapters in over 3,500 communities given fund allocations; Sept. 12, fund totals $5,563,000; Sept. 17, fund nearly $8,000,000 and President announces formal closing of campaign; Sept. 27, fund passes $10,000,000 mark. In 21 business days the Red Cross doubly performed the duty entrusted to it—all the while keeping a steady flow of relief supplies going out from many Pacific ports to the stricken areas in Japan. Thus was the confidence of the American people in their Red Cross justified and the wisdom of Red Cross preparedness to cope with an unprecedented relief emergency confirmed. OPERENCE, Professor Condit estimated the financial loss to the growers on a very conservative basis at $200,000 annually. The situation is admittedly a serious one, but it is indeed fortunate that for the past four or five years the division of plant pathology of the college of agriculture has been studying these troubles and sufficient work has already been done to at least indicate the direction from which relief may be expected. Professor Ralph Smith head of the division of plant pathology, discussed the work which has been done to date and it is from his remarks supplemented by those of Professor Condit, that the information presented in this article was gained. Various persons connected with the division of plant pathology have participated in the investigations but the work has been done principally by Miss Phillips and Mr. Caldis under the direction of Professor Smith and assisted by other members of the division. As is frequently the case when an investigation is started, it has turned out that diseases not suspected at the time I first began the study of the fig smut disease in 1916, are far more important than the trouble which first called attention to the situation. In 1916, while some losses were experienced by fig growers from spitting and souring of the fruit, these were regarded as largely of climatic origin and accentuated by unfavorable moisture conditions. The only disease believed to be of importance was the black smut which occasionally affected as much as seven to ten per cent of the crop. Investigations made since that time, however, have shown that the black smut is of relatively minor importance and that souring and rotation by this beetle of organism causing either alcoholic or acetic acid fermentation. These troubles affect principally those varieties, in which the fruit has a relatively open eye, for which reason it is especially bad with the Adriatic and Callmyra varieties. It is believed that the reason why it does not affect the Mission and Kadota varieties to any appreciable extent is due to the fact that in these varieties the fruits have the eye closed rather tightly. The control of the dried fruit beetle would therefore appear to be the solution to this trouble. Since this beetle is widely distributed and develops on rotting fruit of various kinds including oranges, melons, apples, peaches, apricots, plums, and other fruits, its control may prove to be somewhat difficult. It is believed however, that a general clean-up of decaying fruits in the winter and early part of the growing season should help material g in overcoming sourn Such clean-up measures, however, will probably hae to be undertaken in a community way in order to be effective. It is hoped that the practicability of controlling the dried fruit base will be established during the coming season. This disease known by various names as pink rot, brown rot and soft rot was not recognized until comparatively recently. This disease is found only in caprifixed figs for which reason it affects the Callmyra variety primarily. It is now believed to be due to a specific fungus which is introduced into the Callmyra fig by the fig wasp at the time purification is effected if such is the case the disease is probably also to be found in the caprifigs which thus would serve as the source of infection. The disease must then be transmitted from one generation of $5 per share was levied on the capital stock of the corporation payable at once to the Secretary of the company at Anaheim, Orange County, California.

STATE OF CALIFORNIA COUNTY OF ORANGE On this 22nd day of October, 1924 before me, A.E.Koepsel, a notary public duly commissioned and sworn and residing in the County of Orange personally appeared C.H.West and F.G.West, known to me to be the co-partners who executed within instrument, and they acknowledged to me that they executed the same. 1916, while some losses were experienced by fig growers from splitting and souring of the fruit, these were regarded as largely of climatic origin and accentuated by unfavorable moisture conditions. The only disease believed to be of importance was the black smut which occasionally affected as much as seven to ten per cent of the crop. Investigations made since that time, however, have shown that the black smut is of relatively minor importance and that souring and rotting are of major importance. The present status of these diseases seems to be about as follows: All varieties appear to be subject to a certain amount of black smut but especially those in which the eye of the fruit is relatively open, principally the Calmyra and Adriatic varieties. In 1917 I isolated a specific fungus of the sterigmatocystis group and suggested that it was probably introduced into the fruits by the beetles which are frequently found infesting the fruit on the ground. Miss Phillips, in a more intensive study of orSg lips, in a much more intensive study, later showed that a closely related fungus, asperilis, is in reality responsible for this disease and established the fact that it is introduced into the fruits by the dried fruit beetle. Colt and Johnson in 1919 and 1920 investigating splitting of figs, came to the conclusion now generally held that this is a mechanical process characteristic of certain fig varieties which do not have a hollow center. Since it does not possess a hollow center and therefore under irregular and fluctuating moisture conditions in the soil and atmosphere during the ripening season cannot expand without splitting, the Calmyra variety is especially susceptible to this trouble. Some strains of the Smyrna fig are much more subject to splitting than others, the Stanford d oriety being commonly regarded as resistant and therefore a nonspilling variety. While it appears to be true of this particular variety, it has certain deficiencies, notably low yield and poor color for canning, which do not make it desirable as a substitute for the Calmyra. Since the climatic factors which are responsible for splitting cannot be controlled by the grower, it would appear that the solution to this problem lies in the development or discovery of other strains of the Smyrna fig which have a hollow center as well as the rot was not recognized until comparatively recently. This disease is found only in caprifoli figs for which reason it affects the Calmyra variety primarily. It is now believed to be due to a specific fungus which is introduced into the Calmyra fig by the fig wasp at the time purification is effected if such is the case the disease is probably also to be found in the caprifigs which thus would serve as the source of infection. The disease must then be transmitted from one generation of caprifigs to the net by the fig wasp, in which case the problem of its control will undoubtedly be a difficult one to overcome. The only possibilities would seem to lie either in finding caprifigs which are not already affected by the disease, or in the isolation of non-infected wasps and their establishment in caapriflg trees freed from the disease by previously removing all of the figs. This problem would therefore appear to resolve itself into the growing of a sufficient supply of clean caprifigs to meet the needs of the industry or to destroy the figs on the caprifigs trees used at present, and subsequently re-colonized them with wasps not carrying the disease. The former procedure would appear to be much more practicable than the latter. The additional expense connected with the development of a supply of clean caprifigs, however, will add another drawback to the already rather fordable list of undesirable pyalities possessed by this variety and will constitute still another reason for many growers regarding this variety as still to be proved commercially successful in California. Many growers at present feel that the great need is the development of a variety, if such is possible possessing the superior qualities of the Calmyra but not requiring caprification in order to set and mature fruit. While it may be possible to devedop a fig approaching the Calmyra in quality and not requiring caprification, it is doubtful whether the peculiar quality that characterizes this variety can be obtained without the presence of viable seeds, which of course dependent upon caprifICATION. It appears quite probable that many Calmyra fig growers will be unwilling and unable to wait for either of these two solutions and that wholesale topworking of trees of this variety will likely occur during the next few years. The development of these diseases and troubles will unquestionably have an important relation to the fig variety situation.

M.E.BEEBE.Secretary. 3T-821-3t While it appears to be true of this particular variety, it has certain deficiencies, notably low yield and poor color for canning, which do not make it desirable as a substitute for the Calimyra. Since the climatic factors which are responsible for splitting cannot be controlled by the grower, it would appear that the solution to this problem lies in the development or discovery of other strains of the Myrrh fig which have a hollow center as well as the other desirable qualities which characterize this variety. The development of such varieties therefore is a problem for the plant breeder. In all probability such varieties can be developed and it is hoped that work already under way by Mr. Rixford of the United States department of agriculture and Professor Smith of the division of plant pathology of the college of horticulture may eventually result in development of these. Souring has long been known as the principal drawback to the Adriatic variety and, like splitting has in the past been attributed to climatic conditions. There has always been some doubt on this point, however, and evidence accumulated during recent years indicates rather conclusively that climatic conditions play a much less important part in the occurrence of souring than formerly held. Cases of serious souring have been found in non-infugated orchards where it was impossible to connect the trouble with either climatic conditions or fluctuations in soil moisture. Early in the investigation, evidence secured indicated the probability that this trouble was due to the introduction by insects of yeasts causing fermentation and suspicion was soon directed toward the dried fruit beetle. More recently this theory has been completely established and now it is certain that souring is definitely due to the introduc- It appears quite probable that many Calimyra fig growers will be unwilling and unable to wait for either of these two solutions and that wholesale topworking of trees of this variety will likely occur during the next few years. The development of these diseases and troubles will unquestionably have an important relation to the fig variety situation. The commercial plantings now grown consist principally of four varieties: Asiatic, Calimyra, Mission and Kadota. Each of these has its excellent qualities but each also has its faults. If sourcing can be overcome, the Adriatic variety will undoubtedly continue to be profitable on account of its high yield. Its quality however, does not measure up to the Calimyra and the fruit requires sulphuring in drying. He Calimyra is the most outstanding quality of all figs grown but as yet has hardly demonstrated its commercial success. The Mission has nearly all the characteristics desired except that its color is a factor still to be overcome. The Kadota fig has paved its good qualities for canning and preserving but lacks decided character or flavor. These facts emphasized the necessity for breeding investigations to develop better varieties, and it is to be hoped that more intensive work along this line will be carried out.
