Vacuum Fumigation Is a New Method Nursery Stock and Small Articles Being Treated By New Process By A. H. CALL. Horticultural Commissioner. Ventura County Vacuum fumigation is a comparatively new method in pest control. Trees or articles to be fumigated by this method are placed in an air tight chamber. The chamber used at Santa Paula is five feet in diameter and fifteen feet in length. The air is first exhausted with a vacuum pump until the vacuum mreaches twenty-seven inches mercurial vacuum. As the air is again admitted into the chamber, the gas is entrained by a specially constructed carburetor arrangement. The articles are allowed to remain in the chamber for a period of one hour from the time the vacuum gauge reaches 0. The air and gas is then exhausted to a twenty-seven inch vacuum after which fresh air is admitted and the pump run for five minutes to circulate clean air through the chamber and carry out all of the gas fumes. If citrus, walnut or ornamental stock is being fumigated the trees or plants are then removed and the tops washed off with cold water, none of the water being permitted to go into the ball of earth around the roots. In 1920 and 1921 when the citrus growers of Veneura county were having difficulty in securing clean citrus stock for planting, the State Department of Agriculture was called on for assistance. D. B. Mackle, now Assistant Chief of the Bureau of Plant Quarantine and Pest Control of the State Department of Agriculture, who had been doing some experimental work on vacuum fumigation of nursery stock, was assigned to the work. In the winter of 1921 the Board of Supervisors of Ventura county appropriated sufficient funds to cover the cost of the installation of vacuum fumigation equipment as designed by Mr. Mackle. The fosse used was one ounce only, but since its installation, citrus nursery stock, ornamental stock, household goods, and food stuffs have also been fumigated with marked success. With the vacuum fumigator food stuffs can be fumigated in their original containers, the gas penetrating every portion of the pacakge and killing all storage insects that may be present. Cotton in bales has been fumigated by the United States Department of Agriculture for a good many years, this being one of the conditions of entry of this commodity into the United States. In the past two or three years, the fumigation of ornamental stock has developed to a very great extent, and is now a condition for the entry of ornamental stock into many districts in the State of California from nurseries invested with Citrophilus mealybug. Certain types of ornamental stock lend themselves very readily to vacuum fumigation, particularly the hardier plants such as conifers, roses and many other plants of this nature. The soft leaved or soft wooded plants sustain injury to quite a large degree under this process. One of the prime essentials of vacuum fumigation is the proper preparation of stock prior to fumigation. This is especially true in the case of balled citrus stock. The trees should be prepared for the fumigation during the early spring when the trees are in their most dormant period. Several years of experience has taught us that the best time to vacuum fumigate citrus stock is during the months of February, March, April, and up to the middle of May. The stock must also be properly bailed. The sacks should be large enough to leave a surplus of burlap above the ball and around the trunk of the tree, so as to aid in handling the stock carefully and enable the trees to be picked up by the sacking material rather than the trunk itself. The ball of the trees should be tied with at least three strings around it. A small amount of earth should be placed in the sack so that when the sack is placed around the ball this soil will be under the ball and cover the tap root, which is cut at the time of digging. The ball, sacking material, and binding twine should be tight and as solid as possible. All of these things tend to prevent the entrance of gas water is put upon the unless it is absolutely necessary to allow the gas much as possible from before the tree goes. Should the ball be wetter fumigation it would certain amount of gas ball thereby causing it to protect from the disminution after planting ewrappers or by newspapers should be left on tire summer, at least five after setting out. Our experience in the ornamental stock or dehumidification is still limited. Two years ago it was sary to require the wettion of all walnut stock. Ventura county. The fumigated 21,000 walnuts practically no injury. Fumigated with bare media medially washed after only case where we injured was where they lowered to become extinct the period of transportation. During the past seven have fumigated from sand to one hundred trees per year and thus loss has been extreme in this treatment. It is possible that development of vacuum good many of our plant pest control problems. Junior Aggie At the Fair The next big agricultural event of the year will Aggie Day at Oran Grounds on July 14.

With the automatic electric range you have clean, safe, strong heat controlled by a clock and thermostat to start the cooking and stop it at the right time no matter where you are or what you are doing. That is real convenience. If you are not enjoying these advantages in your present cooking equipment come into the nearest Edison office and let us show you the modern automatic electric ranges. We will gladly tell you all about them. Ask about our monthly budget plan of paying for a range while you enjoy it. SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA EDISON COMPANY Owned by Those it Serves ANAHEIM GAZETTE Gas Meter Readers Wearing Uniforms Gas inspectors, meter readers, adjusters, collectors and other employees of the Southern Counties Gas Company who call at the homes of the gas consumers in the Orange County District now are clad in neat whipcord uniforms of an attractive olive shade. The new uniforms bear the name of the company on the caps, the cars used by such employees bear the name of the company as does a badge and an identification card carried by each member of the uniformed squad. In making his announcement of this newest step in the service policy of the company, District Manager C. E. Rutledge explained that occasionally homes are visited by imposters who claim to be meter readers, inspectors or to have some other connection with the gas company—using this pretext in order to gain admission to homes from which they would be barred if their real mission were known. Gas consumers readily will identify and welcome authorized representatives of the company who call to render service and the uniform and its accompanying means of identification are creating a favorable impression wherever they have been observed. Only One Male Left In Indian Tribe Only one full-blood "buck" Indian remains in the tribe of California Indians known as Chumashed, which once boasted a population of 10,000. This was brought to the attention of Gov. C. C. Young by a committee he had appointed to investigate the welfare of the California "redskins." The committee reported that the Indians were decreasing rapidly, in spite of government reports to the contrary. The 1920 census of California Indians made by the United States government gave a population of 17,360, while the 1926 figures show 18,913. Mexican Indians, drifting across the border, were the cause of this gain, according to the report. Buick Is Popular With U. C.

Junior Aggie Day At the Fair Grounds The next big agricultural and social event of the year will be the Junior Aggie Day at the Orange County Fair Grounds on July 14. Junior Aggie Day is in reality the boys' and girls' Agricultural Fair combined with the Annual Farm Bureau Picnic. The 4-H Club work is an educational enterprise of the United States Department of Agriculture, co-operating with the University of California and the county of Orange. Each club member is required to carry on a project—that is a carefully plarmed and approved piece of work, to keep a careful record of the business transactions involved in the project, and to make a public display of the work. Junior Aggie Day is principally for the purpose of providing an opportunity for the effective public display of the project work, and partly to secure the best possible training for exhibits from each club for the Orange County Fair, which will be held this year from the third to eighth days of September. The Annual Farm Bureau Picnic is to be held in conjunction with the Junior Aggie Day for the purpose of supporting the young people and to have a good sociable get-together at an informal occasion such as this day will provide. The 4-H Club projects include at least some phase of practically every agricultural plant and animal in Orange county, and the splendid work and records of the future farmers, which will be exhibited at Junior Aggie Day, will be of great interest to those who have not had the opportunity to become acquainted with the 4-H Work, and a great stimulus to those who are fortunate enough to be engaged in the enterprise of training the future farm leaders—"To Make the Best Botter" (4-H Club motto). Two athletic events are scheduled that will be of interest to the sportsmen. The Yorba Linda Club's baseball team, which is believed to be the best little team in the county, is issuing a challenge to the Tustin Club's ball team, which is also said to be the best little team in the county. It happens that the club members composing these teams are practically identical with the school teams from these towns which won in the Northern and Southern Grammar School Leagues of Orange County. Much unofficial action is anticipated. The second athletic event is a track meet which will provide an opportunity for all 4-H members in good standing to show the world how good they are. Experienced coaches and impartial judges and umpires will be in charge at all times. The 4-H Club members are good sports. In the three days of competition at Camp Seeley between Life 4-H Club members of Riverside, San Bernardino and Orange Counties, there was not a single instance of crabbling at an umpire's decision—and there were many close decisions rendered. The picnic itself will be held in the known area Chumashad, which once boasted a population of 10,000. This was brought to the attention of Gov. C. C. Young by a committee he had appointed to investigate the welfare of the California "redskins." The committee reported that the Indians were decreasing rapidly, in spite of government reports to the contrary. The 1920 census of California Indians made by the United States government gave a population of 17,360, while the 1926 figures show 18,913. Mexican Indians, drifting across the border, were the cause of this gain, according to the report. The redskin, like his white brother, has trouble combating tuberculosis. "T-B" is responsible for a large number of deaths among the Indians, the report indicates, while unsanitary conditions are prevalent. "Full time physicians are employed in only a few places," says Dr. Walter M. Dickle, head of the department of public health. "And the territory covered by these physicians is so large that it is not possible for them to give the Indians the attention necessary." Housing and sanitation is very poor, and most of the homes are overcrowded. During our investigation we found more than 200 Indian children in need of medical care." As a solution, Director A. R. Heron suggested that the state take over direct control of California's Indians, and that the funds contributed by the government be used to assist in their care. Buick Is Popular With U. C. Students Youth's exacting demands for style, performance and reliability in motor cars are most fully met by Buicks, a census of automobiles at the University of California would seem to indicate. The census was conducted by the daily campus newspapers and it showed Buick an overwhelming favorite among cars of its class. Just as in the world at large, where it outsells any three of its competitors, its conquest of this college campus has been almost complete, says word from Berkeley. In fact, only one other car, and that in the lowest price class, outnumbers Buick here. George F. Howard, Northern Orange county dealer, said that Buick's prestige among the students at Berkeley has recently been enhanced by deliveries to three men, outside the student body itself, but highly respected by the students. These men are Clarence M. ("Nibs") Price, head football coach, Clifford L. ("Brick") Mitchell, freshman football coach, and Bill Monahan, student body manager. The sales were made by the Howard Auto Coast distributor. The Campus veals that B. the campus, B. students attend these students than a two-fold price class.

The second athletic event is a track meet which will provide an opportunity for all 4-H members in good standing to show the world how good they are. Experienced coaches and impartial judges and umpires will be in charge at all times. The 4-H Club members are good sports. In the three days of competition at Camp Seeley between the 4-H Club members of Riverside, San Bernardino and Orange Counties, there was not a single instance of crabbing at an umpire's decision—and there were many close decisions rendered. The picnic itself will be held in the dining hall of the Fair Grounds, to provide as much comfort and relaxation as possible, so that the full day's program may be enjoyed by all. The public is cordially invited and urged to come to the Orange County Fair Grounds on July the fourteenth—Junior Aggle Day. PENNIES BECOME DOLLARS The recent postoffice department report furnishes a striking illustration of how pennies become dollars. During the last fiscal year the total receipts from postage were approximately $610,000,000. Figured on the basis of population this makes an average per capita expenditure for postage payment of $5.09. From less than 75,000 orders amounting to $1,560,122.52 during the first fiscal year of its operation, which began in 1864, the money order system has so expanded that last year the orders numbered nearly 200,000,000, their value amounting to $1,700,000,000. During the same period the number of offices authorized to transact money order business has increased from 419 to 46,-734. During the last fiscal year there were nearly 75,000,000 paid registrations for which over $11,000,000 was received in fees. Over 150,000,000 domestic parcels were insured, the fees therfor amounting to over $9,000,000, while the number of parcels sent as collect-on-delivery mail was approximately 50,000,000, on which the fees amounted to something over $6,000,000. Nowadays a fellow can have a best girl who "is old enough to be his mother" and still she may be in the flapper class. g Supersedes 'Bang-Up' July Fourth a quiet, restful Fourth of July this year will find it under the big trees at Sequoia arding to the Western Auto Supply Company's camping scout who visited Giant Above photos show camping under the big trees with Western Auto Supply Comming in the Kaweah river and a view of Moro Rock from whose summit an unpassoad of the High Sierras. students made by the Berkeley branch of the Howard Automobile Company, Pacific Coast distributors. The Campus newspaper's census reveals that Buick leads, not only on the campus, but also in the homes of students attending the University. In these students' homes, Buick is more than a two-to-one favorite, regardless which is absurd on the face of it.

The only state which has made any showing at all is Nebraska, and the guaranty fund there is $20,000,000 behind payments to depositors have been stopped for several months, and the commission has announced that all banks will be liquidated as fast as possible. B—The guaranty of bank deposits is unsound as an economic question and unsafe financially. It tries to make all the banks in the state responsible for the poor bankers and poor banking. There is no more justice in the idea than there would be in trying to make all farmers responsible for the integrity and efficiency of every other farmer, which is absurd on the face of it. C—The guaranty of bank deposits has resulted in failure in every state where it has been tried. The state banks of Nebraska have paid in, in most cases, more than their capital stock to cover losses caused by unsafe and unsound banking. Banks which should have been taken out their own small losses have been unable to do so and they have accumulated too large amounts in many instances. The result has been a general weakening of the entire banking structure, and instead of building up banking conditions the exact opposite has come to pass.
