DRY LIME SULFUR AS A DISINFECTANT Expert Lauds it as an Excellent Spray for Trees Because of the disastrous results of recent infections in the fruit belt, especially in the citrus groves, fruit growers are on the alert to prevent the recurrence of pests and diseases this season. Millions of dollars were sacrificed by growers during 1923-1924 in the partial or entire loss of fruit because of diseases and pests. In Los Angeles county for instance, an extensive survey directed by Harold J. Ryan, a noted expert in horticultural research, estimated conservatively that $4,500,000 loss was caused in injury to trees and loss of fruit by the invasion of the black scale. This is just an estimate of the damage done by one pest, and does not include the huge sums lost through the citricola scale, red spiders, thrips, brown rot and allied pests. Constant surveys of different districts is proving to growers the seriousness of these invasions and the urgent need for some substance to ward them off. As a result of these investigations, a strong drive will be carried on this season, using a preparation which will prevent the pests getting underway and remove the possibility of another large financial loss. Up to quite recent years the recognized treatment for the control of scale insects on citrus trees was by fumigation, and this method is still quite generally used. However, spraying has been found to give equally as good results and in many cases better results besides being much less expensive, and for this reason is fast displacing fumigation. Spraying has also proven to be a splendid supplementary treatment to fumigation. For a long time a serious need has tainted than the mere saving of dollars. Harking back to his experience when as governor of Massachusetts he eliminated half of the state commissions and their office holding staffs and by the act improved the public service, it is whispered that he is ambitious to try the same experiment in Washington. It must be admitted that there is room for improvement in this great nest of officials. There are departments, bureaus and divisions where the office holders fairly sit on one another, and where public business is delayed because of the lost motions which the employment of a surplus of chiefs naturally imposes. It is also a matter of public comment that in over-manned departments the general attitude displayed towards the public is out of kilter with what should be evident in a public office. It is said that in some of the divisions, which might be named, one requires an official guide to discover the identity of the chiefs and a lawyer to present the case when that person is found. That is what Calvin Coolidge is driving against, that is what he is trying to root out. He believes the taxpayer has a right to approach a chief without a guide, interpreter or lawyer and to secure a settlement at first hand. In the naming of his new cabinet officers it will not be surprising if the ability of the candidates to cut red tape, to stand unmoved and unafraid before governmental routine and office holding would be the determining factor in the mind of the President in making his selection. INCONSISTENCIES OF THE PROPOSED SUNDAY LAW As usual, a Sunday-closing bill has made its appearance in the California legislature. Also, as usual, it picks on a half dozen or so places of business instructed to install per the request of Chamber of Commerce.

A resolution was made matter of Road District No. 41, appointing an pare and furnish spelling March 24, 1924 hearing in said matters. MOTOR VEHICLE The Division of MAY day made public a filing showing a total of collected from California motor vehicle fees due bulk of this money lioned to the highway various counties purposes. All registrations for 20.5 per cent, for the year showed a loss over 1923, due to the motor vehicle act of stantial decreases in for licensing vehicles the "flat fee" for the ratings. Fees were collected ing sources: Automotive 594,636.27; pneumatic $1283,745.54; solid truck 156,631.17; motorcycle Up to quite recent years the recognized treatment for the control of scale insects on citrus trees was by fumigation, and this method is still quite generally used. However, spraying has been found to give equally as good results and in many cases better results besides being much less expensive, and for this reason is fast displacing fumigation. Spraying has also proven to be a splendid supplementary treatment to fumigation. For a long time a serious need has been felt for a remedy that would not only control scale insects, but also be effective against fungous diseases. The lime sulfur and oil emulsion combinations have supplied this need. The suffocating gases of lime sulfur kills the scale, and its presence on the trees prevents the development of fungous diseases. A good oil emulsion combined with the lime sulfur increases its spread and penetration and adds to its insecticidal value. This combination is fast gaining favor with the leading citrus growers, and its value is emphasized in a published report covering black scale records for season 1923-1924 by Harold J. Ryan, horticulural commissioner of Los Angeles county. The following is quoted from Mr. Ryan's report: "Sherwin-Williams' oil and sulfur combination, either followed or preceded by fumigation, showed 34 out of 37 or 92 per cent good groves this year as compared with 57 out of 83 or 69 per cent in the case of other oil and sulphur combinations." It is these splendid results that, no doubt, account for the large increasing demand for dry lime sulfur and oil by citrus growers. Although this is the general season for spraying citrus groves, the specific time for applying the spray varies to some extent with regard to the type of infection to be treated. February and March are the right months for starting the first drive on the citricola scale, which begin being virulent during the late winter and early spring. The proper period is when the spring sap is beginning to flow, which is just before the spring growth starts. The second spraying ought to take place in June or July. This is when about two-thirds of the scale has hatched. The spray for red spiders is generally applied from April to June, when these pests begin to appear in numbers. Thrips, on the other hand, are treated for with the spray when they begin to appear in large numbers. INCONSISTENCIES OF THE PROPOSED SUNDAY LAW As usual, a Sunday-closing bill has made its appearance in the California legislature. Also, as usual, it picks on a half dozen or so places of business and makes it a crime for such places to keep open on Sunday. The list of exemptions are legion. In section one of the proposed law it is stated: "It shall be unlawful for any person firm, association or corporation to keep open within this state any store, workshop, or other place of business, which is not necessarily required to be kept open on Sunday, including the following: Any wearing apparel, jewelry or hardware store, laundry, barber shop or butcher shop." Section two then gives the places which may remain open—the places which by inference are "necessarily required to be kept open on Sunday." Among these places of business are pool or billiard halls, dance halls and skating rinks, photograph galleries, confectionery stores and ice cream parlors. Just why the author of the bill should see more necessity for keeping open a dance hall, or even a photograph gallery than a jewelry or a hardware store, is hard to comprehend. Beyond all of this, however, it is difficult to follow the reasoning of one who seeks for a law that would fine and imprison a barber for shaving another man on any day in the week. By the bill, a dealer in cigars could carry on his business on Sunday, selling his wares, and be a good citizen, upheld by the law. The hardware merchant, on the other hand, would find himself in difficulty, subject to a fine of $500 and six months' imprisonment in case he should sell a pound of nails, a saw or an axe or hammer. The proposed law is so inconsistent that one needs but have his attention called to these things to see at once that it should not be enacted by the legislature. SUPERVISORS' PROCEEDINGS Map tract No. 746 was accepted as the official plotting of said tract, but not as to roads. Map tract No. 743 was accepted as the official plotting of said tract. A The proper period is when the spring sap is beginning to flow, which is just before the spring growth starts. The second spraying ought to take place in June or July. This is when about two-thirds of the scale has hatched. The spray for red spiders is generally applied from April to June, when these pests begin to appear in numbers. Thrips, on the other hand, are treated for with the spray when they begin to appear in large numbers after the blossom petals have fallen. The second spray is applied in August or September, providing the thrips appear numerous enough to damage fall growth. For the black scale, which is one of the most pernicious of the pests, two sprayings are necessary; the first, at the time when about one-half or two-thirds of scale have hatched, which is usually in July or August; the second, when the scale-hatch is about completed, which is usually in late September or October, after summer weather has broken. The dry lime sulfur and oil combination when properly applied, can be depended upon to give excellent results. As a consequence, it is recommended by many of the best orchardists. And its remarkable growth may be attributed to the fact that as an insecticide it means death to pests and as a fungicide it lasts and protects trees from the development of fungous diseases. THE PRESIDENT'S MOTIVE Those who are in touch with President Coolidge and who have an insight into his ideas hint that in his constant and insistent demands for a reduction in governmental expenditures he has a larger and bigger mo- ANAHEIM GAZETTE instructed to install street lights as per the request of the Buena Park Chamber of Commerce. Hearing of the petition of John O. Forster, et al., to vacate and abandon those certain streets and alleys located in the Fifth Road District, was set for March 17, 1925, at 10 a.m. Publication to be made in the Santa Ana Daily Evening Register. The contract for the grading and gravelling of Brookhurst avenue was accepted as completed by Sparks & McClellan, contractors. Deed for right-of-way from The Irvine Company in the Fifth Road District was accepted and declared a public highway. A resolution was adopted in the matter of Road District Improvement No. 41, appointing an engineer to prepare and furnish specifications, and setting March 24, 1925, at 11 a.m. for hearing in said matter. MOTOR VEHICLE LICENSES The Division of Motor Vehicles today made public a financial statement showing a total of $7,011,112.63 was collected from California motorists in motor vehicle fees during 1924. The bulk of this money has been apportioned to the highway commission and the various counties for road repair purposes. All registrations for 1924 increased 20.5 per cent, the fees collected for the year showed a loss of $3,584,749.06 over 1923, due to the fact that the motor vehicle act of 1923 made substantial decreases in the fees charged for licensing vehicles by substituting the "flat fee" for the old horsepower ratings. Fees were collected from the following sources: Automobile licenses, $3.594,636.27; pneumatic truck licenses, $1.283,745.54; solid truck licenses, $1.156,631.17; motorcycle licenses, $42.- C. E. McGulloch presiding in the absence of president Mrs. H. E. Axup. After the close of the business meeting, Mrs. McGulloch conducted a round table discussion, which proved interesting and instructive, the teachers and parents entering heartily into the discussions. Many things of great importance were brought out about training the child in the home and in the school. The 4-A class of Lincoln school won the prize for having the most mothers present. Men are divided into two classes—those who play the other fellow's game and those who play their own. CHURCH NOTICE Services of Maxwell's Spiritual church at Sycamore and Olive.

These fees are subject to equal apportionment to the highway commission and counties after a 20 per cent deduction is made for expenses of the department. Non-apportionable fees amounting to $221,681 in chauffeurs' licenses and $42,192.15 in duplicate operator licenses were also collected. The total apportionment to the counties for the year amounted to $2,837,672.42 after deductions amounting to $295,135.96 were made for the salaries of traffic officers. The highway commission received $3,079,658.85 as its share for the year. Although the law gives the division permission to spend 20 per cent of its motor vehicle collections for expenses, it actually spent only 8.7 per cent, thus turning back a saving approximating $760,000 for apportionment purposes. Nearly one-half of the money apportioned to the counties, or $1,233,793.58, went to Los Angeles county. San Francisco was second with $239,903.62 and Alameda third with $208,061.46. Orange county was eighth on the list, getting $67,881.08. OIL INDUSTRY SERVES PUBLIC Reviewing conditions in the petroleum industry, J. Edgar Pew, president of the American Petroleum Institute, expresses the opinion that "the condition of the oil business is better than it has been for several years." "Within the industry there is a better spirit of co-operation for the benefit of all. Standards of equipment are being established that should very considerably reduce the cost of materials and increase the efficiency of all field labor. Drilling operations are conducted with better success as a result of geological data. *** No. 78 ... 4:50 A.M. No. 75 ... 9:02 A.M. % No. 51 ... 10:25 A.M. Trains to San Diego. No. 78 ... 1:56 A.M.
