Introducing Ramie To Californians New Oriental Plant Now Being Experimented With Is ramie a practical plant for cultivation in California? George W. Wilson, a Los Angeles real estate man, has been experimenting with it in his backyard for 15 years, and he thinks it is "What is ramie?" some one asks. Name's familiar, somehow, but what is it? Perhaps we should answer that question before telling about Mr. Wilson. Ramie is a plant which has been cultivated for its fiber in the Orient for centuries. Efforts have been made fro mtime to time for many years to introduce it into the United States as a textile crop, but these have not been successful. There are several related species of the plant, known variously as ramie, rhen, China grass and the like. It is a perennial and its stalks contain fiber which, after being prepared, is available for spinning. Some believe the plant was first grown in Egypt, as the cloth wound around the ancient mummies of that land has been identified as of ramie. It is grown in considerable quantities in India and China, and Japan is the principal exporter of the fiber. When it ultimately appears in the United States it is usually mixed with wool or silk in fabrics. Industrial chemists, Mr. Wilson says, state that ramie fiber is almost pure cellulose in a compressed tubular form. It does not deteriorate, he says, when wet with water or when it comes in contact with oil. Because it does not shrink or stretch when wet, it is said to be stronger than any other textile fiber that is known commercially. It has been used successfully for making gas mantles, for valve packings, for towels, tablecloths and the like, and because it absorbs an unusual bulk of water, for hospital dressings. It takes dyes readily. Underclothing made from it is said to stand up under a remarkable number of laundry treatments. Nicotine Sulphate for Poultry Roundworms Intestinal roundworms in poultry is probably one of the most general parasites that the poultryman has to contend with, not because of an unsatisfactory means of control, but because the owner does not know they are present until after a great deal of damage has been done. The nicotine sulphate capsules have given quite satisfactory control, much more so than the tobacco dust in the mash, because with the capsule each bird receives the required dosage. Nicotine sulphate has no corrective effect on tapeworms, so that where they are present kamala capsules need be given. Where the poultryman is a close observer of his growing stock, he can quickly note the effect of roundworm infestation, provided the flock is free from colds or other infection that might cause them to stop growing. For further conviction it would be well to examine one or more birds. Damp spots in the yards or houses should be avoided, as they provide excellent hatching conditions for the worm eggs. Some poultrymen are going to the extent of concreting the yards of the brooder houses, which will undoubtedly tend to decrease coccoliosis and roundworm infestation. Championship Game At Chicago, Nov. 26 Present predictions at Los Angeles are to the effect that the University of Southern California's Thunderbird Herd will meet Norte Dame at Chicago on November 26 an undefeated team. It may even be a game that will virtually settle the East-West championship. Coach Howard Jones' charges entered the Los Angeles coliseum last Saturday against the University of California with the invaders 10 to 8 favorites. They outplayed and outclassed the Golden Bears in all angles of football, with the exception of punting, and went home with the business end of a 13-0 score.

Over 10 the extreme Humboldt and deer wher plted. Good In Trinity county that more county were section than Mr. Wilson planted ramie in four 75-foot rows, spaced three feet apart, and eighteen inches between the plants in the rows. It has spread by the roots all over the place, and he says it matures seed as well. The seeds are very tiny, he states, but germinate satisfactorily, although the quickest method of propagation is by root cuttings. He says he has cuttle stalks twice and they have grown up again from four to eight feet high, and he expresses the belief that under regular cultural conditions four cuttings a year could be made. On a 15-acre trial plot at Davis, it appears, between six and seven tons of ramie stalks per acre were harvested, and the acre return of finished fibre there amounted to 3000 pounds. "Well, why isn't ramie one of our great crops?" it will naturally be asked. The "hitch" appears to be in its preparation. In the Orient the natives throw the cut stalks into pools of water to rot off the bark, and the odor resulting is reported to be excessively unpleasant to western noses. Such a process, too, would be far too slow for California. Scraping machinery to "decorate" the stalks was devised several years ago, but there has been another problem. The fibers are imbedded in certain gums, and to remove them is a real stunt. A Chinaman can clean about three pounds of the fibre of its gums in a day, provided he is industrious. This kind of thing, of course would never do save in a country of very cheap labor. The degumming machine, it seems, has been a long time coming, but Mr. Wilson asserts that D. E. DeLape of San Marino has perfected a process which will degum ramie satisfactorily and rapidly. He also declares that some of the gums themselves have been found of value commercially. The Los Angeles ramie enthusiast believes the crop can be grown successfully and profitably wherever cotton will thrive. He says ramie requires less care than cotton, does not have to be replanted, calls for about the same amount of irrigation, and is not particularly hard on the land. NEW LAW PUBLICATION The law school of the University of Southern California announces the publication of a new legal periodical, known as "The Southern California Law Review," with Prof. Douglas B. Maggs as editor containing articles by members of Southern California's Thundering Herd will meet Norte Dame at Chicago on November 26 an undefeated team. It may even be a game that will virtually settle the East-West championship. Coach Howard Jones' charges entered the Los Angeles coliseum last Saturday against the University of California with the invaders 10 to 8 favorites. They outplayed and outclassed the Golden Bears in all angles of football, with the exception of punting, and went home with the business end of a 13-0 score. Before SoSutherland California meets Notre Dame they play two more games. On November 12 they meet the University of Colorado, which should be somewhat of a slaughter forthe Trojans if the dope means anything. On November 19, the Trojans meet Washington State University, a team that has met defeat twice this season. They should win both contests and square off with Notre Dame with a clean slate. Critics on the west coast declare that Southern California is blessed with a team superior to last year's which held Notre Dame to a one point margin. This may be the case and again it may not. The team is an inexperienced one and the boys, although working hard, may get off on the wrong foot. At any rate, it is the first time in the history of Southern California that the Trojans have not been defeated by one or the other of California or Stanford. Harry Edelson, star Trojan fullback, who sustained an injured leg in the California-Southern California gridiron game Saturday, is expected to be in shape for the Southern California-Notre Dame tilt at Chicago, November 26. Old Bandit Hangout Attracts Motorists An interesting one-day trip for motorists in Southern California is the one to Vasquez Rocks the reputed one-time rendezvous of the notorious half-breed Tuburcio Vasquez. This historic spot is reached by way of San Fernando road, Mint canyon; thence through the Agua Dulce canyon for a distance of two miles. Vasquez hailed from Monterey in its heyday of wealth, and his name inspired fear up and down the coast, for his robbing exploits were on a par with those of the notorious bandit, Juan Murletta. This rugged retreat is a large area of uplifted rock, extending from Agua Dulce canyon through Toledad canyon and consisting of many sharp cliffs, precipitous canyons, caves and tunnels. A more ideal lair than this could hardly be imagined for the sanctuary of Vasquez and his gang, and it is easy to imagine that many fatal pistol shots may have echoed from its granite wall. In 1894, Bad-man Rule was superseded by civilization and the picturesque life of this bandit leader was brought to an end by a posse of Americans in May of that year, near the then little hamlet of Los Angeles. NEW LAW PUBLICATION The law school of the University of Southern California announces the publication of a new legal periodical, known as "The Southern California Law Review," with Prof. Douglas B. Maggs as editor, containing articles by members of the bar and professors in leading law schools, and circulating to attorneys, law students, and libraries throughout the country. Future issues will appear in January, March, May, July, and November of each year. Prof. Glenn E. Whitney is business manager. A student editorial board consisting of the fifteen highest ranking seniors and the five highest ranking juniors at the Trojan law school will report results of research on problems presented by recent decisions of the appellate courts in the new law review. The November number, the initial issue, contains an article on "Compromise of Criminal Cases," resulting from questionnaires sent to practically every district attorney in the state of California by Dr. Justin Miller, author of the article, dean of the Southern California school of law, and secretary of teh section on criminal law of the American Bar Association. Dean Carpenter of the law school of the University of Oregon has contributed an article on "Stare Decisis and Law Reform," using a more intelligent attitude toward precedent. Other material includes a study of the constitutionality of state laws providing for the sterilization of defectives; comment on whether writing on two sides a paper may be considered together as constituting a will when neither refers to the other, and an article on "The Conditional Delivery of Deeds," by W. E. Burby, in which he discusses the problems which arise in escrows and similar transactions. Monographic notes on recent court decisions and reviews of legal literature are also included. Old Fort Tejon Favorite Resort A short week-end trip of rare scenic beauty and historic interest is the one from Los Angeles over the paved Ridge route with its grades all less than 7 per cent and its curves now widely rounded, to the site of old Fort Tejon 89 miles distant, now only crumbling adobe ruins and one fairly complete building of the former barracks. This was once the headquarters of the famous Indian fighter and soldier, General John C. Fremont. The site of the old fort is in a grassy, bowl-shaped valley in he heart of the hills, shaded by great oaks. This fort was built in 1852, and more than ten years was an army post of some importance, enjoying the unique reputation of being the only Southern California army post where snow fell. It was for a time one of the stations on the famous Butterfield Overland Mail route, whose six-horse stages covered the distance between San Francisco and St. Louis in twenty-three days. Defending the important pass through the mountains, this fort was for ten years a bulwark against the depredations of the hostile Indians, and many indications are to be found that the soldiery of Fort Tejon had an ample share of Indian warfare. An ancient battlefield a few miles north of the fort and within fifteen miles of Bakersfield, on a long, straight stretch, is one of the landmarks which reveals the former life of activity and constant watchfulness in the protection of the new frontier. Many Deer Bagged By Hunters of State Ninteen Thousand Is Toll in California This Season At least 19,000 deer have been killed in California during the present season, and the hunters who have killed the most deer have done so in the counties in which they live. These facts, with many more interesting and unique ones, are available as a result of the operation of the new deer tag law by the five and game division of the department of natural resources. In practically every county the records indicate that the local hunter's knowledge of the section resulted in their getting the best bags. Mondocino county holds the record for number of deer killed, with 1406, but the count is far from complete, as it will take at least two weeks after the close of the season to gather in all of the tags and compile the information. San Francisco, Sacramento, and Imperial counties produced no deer, while but two were killed in Kings county. Despite the great area taken up by numerous cities, including Los Angeles, Pasadena, Long Beach, Glendale, and the Santa Monica bay cities, Los Angeles county hunters knocked over 310 deer. Over 1000 were killed in Siskiyou, the extreme northern county, while Humboldt and Lake will furnish a lot of deer when the statistics are completed. Good hunting was also found in Trinity county, but the record shows that more hunters from Humboldt county were able to kill deer in this section than the home hunters.

Sheriff's Sale Next to the home county hunters, local men with knowledge of the district, hunters from Los Angeles county rank second throughout the state in the securing of the prized bucks. When the deer tags have all been received at the fish and game headquarters and the statistics compiled, it will be possible to determine just where the deer were killed, the size of the deer and the distance traveled by the hunters in search of game. So far the largest pair of horns showed 15 points on one side and 14 on the other. This deer was killed by a Los Angeles hunter in Modo county. A bulletin containing all the facts made possible as a result of the highly successful operation of the deer tag law will likely be prepared as soon as the statistics are available, fish and game officials predict. We'd worry a lot more over a possible air invasion of this great republic of ours if the successful Atlantic flights were not exclusively those going east.
