Citrus Pest Vigil Has Many Problems When one considers that, with the possible exception of petroleum, citrus fruits return more money to California than any other single industry, that insect pests and plant disease interfere with the maximum production of high quality citrus fruit more than any other factor, and that successful control of pests is one of the most difficult problems with which the orchardist must contend, the importance of control methods is manifest. We find ourselves considering in connection with citrus pest control, the following questions: Will winter spraying stimulate or retard spring growth? Will the sprays have an injurious effect upon buds, twigs or bark? Should dormant spraying be done in early or late winter? Are the trees too wet or too dry for fumigating? Is it safe to fumigate in fog, cold, wind, bright sunlight, or just before or after heavy rains? Will summer sprays interfere with the proper functioning of the leaves or in any way burn, spot, or mark the fruit? Is the effect of the spray, or the presence of the spray residue, going to be objectionable when the fruit is marketed? What are we actually spraying for, and what is the proper time to apply the spray for the particular pest in question? Is there more danger to the crop from the pest or from the spray itself? These are important questions, and are directly reflected in the quality of the fruit produced. Especially so, since pest control seems absolutely necessary to good fruit production, and without it many of our fruits could not be produced on a commercial scale. These problems will undoubtedly be answered decisively from time to time as pest control work progresses along with other science. The control work itself in this state will continue unabated, since the horticultural commissioners are empowered to take abate ment proceedings against uncared-for acreages, and to change the necessary control work against the property. HIGH PRICES FOR ORANGES Mother Colony oranges from this city are bringing particularly fancy prices in the New York market. Sales on Tuesday, as reported by the Fruit Exchange, were: 126's, $8.00 per box; 150's, $7.20; 176's, $6.75; 200's, $6.45; 216's, $6.00; 252's, $5.15; 288's, $4.75; 324's, $4.09. Shipments are going forward at a rapid rate and much fruit remains to be shipped. Edwin Beebe celebrated his twenty-first birthday on Monday and his mother entertained at a delightful dinner in his honor. Covers were laid for twelve. After dinner the party attended a dance at Balboa. Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Weadon spent the week-end at their cottage at Balboa, where they entertained Mr. and Mrs. P. J. Browning and their son, Ralph Browning, of Los Angeles. Howard Hineman and Max Moody who have attended Fullerton Junior College for the past two years, where the former was prominent in football and the latter in tennis, leave on Saturday for Berkeley where they will enter the University of California as juniors. THINGS TO KNOW Californians, we believe, are frequently accused of boasting when they merely trying to correct erroneous impressions of strangers concerning the remarkable character of this, our home state. One visitor from an eastern state which recently has plunged into a new venture—paved highways—nalley remarked that California apparently had never tried concrete roads. He was informed, as "boastglessly" as possible, that California had tried everything, had indeed, been a sort of experiment ground for the pavers. Another visitor, from a mineral state, declared that California might lead in some things, but in minerals would have to yield the palm.

T. McGettigan chief of the Auto Stage Department of the Railroad Commission. This is a considerable increase over the number carried during 1927, which totalled 24,634,648. The revenues of the public utility stage and truck companies during 1928 amounted to $25,614,532.15, as against $23,078,059.24 during 1927. The truck companies carried 2,130,106 tons of freight during 1928, as against 1,740,081 tons during 1927.

Governor C. C. Young heads the list of distinguished visitors from civilian ranks. For two days prior to the formal opening of the annual state convention of he American Legion the veterans who will attend the gathering will be elaborately entertained by the citizens of San Diego. Sightseeing tours, harbor excursions, receptions and a grand ball given by the Forty and Eight society, the American Legion playground, will feature the program. State Commander F. N. Belgrano, Jr. of San Francisco will call the annual convention of World War veterans to order on Monday morning, and Mayor Harry C. Clark of San Diego will be presented and will speak for his city.

The investment of all auto stage and truck utilities operating under the jurisdiction of the commission amounted to $32,550,629.77 in 1928, and $20,263,-338.70 during 1927. The equipment reports of the companies showed that more than 5,000 cars, trucks and trailers are used by automotive carriers in serving the public. Class "A" companies, or those having revenues in excess of $20,000 a year employed 1,408 passenger cars, 1,640 trucks and 906 other vehicles principally trailers. Class "B" companies used 318 passenger cars, 476 trucks and other vehicles. Auto stage line accident reports for the year ending June 30, 1929, totalled 234. There were 14 fatalities, and 115 injuries of a serious nature. This is considered a remarkable record in view of the large number of persons carried. Of the 535 auto stage and truck lines operating under the jurisdiction of the Railroad Commission, 61 are engaged solely in transporting passengers, including sightseeing buses. There are 245 lines carrying passengers and property, and 229 transport property (freight, express or mail) only, while 86 are designated as special carriers, and are engaged in transporting specified commodities only, the movement of which is sufficiently large to justify special equipment and services. There were 557 auto stage and truck lines on July 1, 1928, the reduction in their number to 535 being due to revocation of permits by the Commission for various reasons, and a number of consolidations. Notwithstanding the decrease in the number of operators, there has been little, if any, decrease in the number of points served or mileage covered. The Commission held 253 bearings in auto stage and truck proceedings, and issued 364 decisions on such matters. THEATRE RE-CHRISTENED Dedicated by youth and beauty to the better entertainment of Northern Orange county folk, the former "Fox California" theatre, Aheml's leading motion picture house, became the "Fox" theatre, in impressive re-christening ceremonies witnessed by scene 3,000 people in front of the playhouse just Saturday evening. Pretty and vivacious Dixie Lee and handsome young David Rollins, with his famous dimpla and charming grace, both outstanding William Fox screen stars, and both personifying the "pop" and dash of modern youth, formally presented the theatre with its new name. The 1,990 sextillating globes in the huge, vertical electric sign, shown above, bearing the new name, "Fox Theatre," flashed into brilliancy as David Rollin turned the switch. Miss Lee completed the dedicatory rites by breaking a bottle of genuine Ahemla valencia orange juice in the general vicinity of the new sign. The unique celebration was staged one top of the marquee, with Joune Heffron, well known Ahemla news-paperman and past president of the master of ceremonies. Anaheim Toniunterster's Café, serving Banjo Ross, presented by Joe Kozana of Tustin, who has recently gained prominence on the vaudeville stage, and orchestral music, provided over a public address system, especially installed for the purpose, enclosed and the vast crowd for an hour passed by the appearance of the popular stars. A touch of comedy entered the ceremony when the bottle of orange juice, which Miss Lee found difficulty in smashing, slipped from her hand, crushed into bits against the side of the building and fell to the sidewalk, periously near a plate glass store widow. The change of the name of the theater to the "Fox" theatre marked the climax of the $7,500 improvement plan which reached its completion this week. In addition to the new electric sign, new carpet, 475 new head of the lates and most comfortable style were installed.
