Growers Meet In Annual Conclave Convention Being Held at Sacramento This Week For the past sixty-two years, the annual Fruit Growers and Farmers Convention has been the common ground on which agriculturists of all parts of California meet to discuss questions affecting the stability of their industry. With the increasing scope and diversity of farming in this state, these problems have become more complex each year, until at the present time we are confronted with questions which challenge the best intelligence and full strength of a united agriculture if they are to be solved. For this reason, the Sixty-Second Fruit Growers and Farmers Convention, to be held in Sacramento, December 10-20, should be attended by every grower who has the welfare of agriculture at heart. At no other time in the history of the Golden State has there been a greater necessity for unity in agricultural thought and action. And at no other time have we been better prepared to reap the benefits of cooperation. The past year has given us the Federal Farm Board. These agencies stand ready and willing to shoulder the problems of the farmer if he will but present a united front on these problems. Until such coordination is evidenced, little progress can be made. Fruit Growers and Farmers Conventions have always been a fertile source of forward looking steps in agriculture as they draw producers of the state closer together. Many of the solid gains which we have made in the past had their inception at these meetings. This year, an especially strong and timely program has been arranged by Geo. H. Hecke, Director, California Department of Agriculture, under advice of agricultural organizations throughout the state—a program designed to give full opportunity for the development of resultful discussion and concerted action on our major problems. On the first day, farm groups of the state will place their programs for agricultural improvement before the State Board of Agriculture. The second day will give us an opportunity to hear of the Federal Farm Board and its purposes first hand, from a member of the Board, our own C. C. Teague, of Santa Paula. The program includes many other interesting speakers—every one with a real message, and with a strong grower representation, the 1929 Convention should make an outstanding contribution to the stabilization of California agriculture. Radio Education Taught by U. S. C. To widen the scope of radio education by enriching the choice of collegiate air-courses for the coming new year, the Radio-Correspondence Education Division of the University of Southern California, KSJK, has set aside the period between December 9th to 23rd for receiving definite suggestions as to subjects which the listening public prefer placed on the Winter Quarter schedule, which opens January 6th, 1930. Serious consideration will be given to all suggestions received at the Trojan Radio headquarters, Room 250 Bovard Auditorium building, University Park, Los Angeles, by or before December 23.

Mitchell, a pioneer resident of Anaheim, coming here in the sixties, now living at Redlands, belonged to a combat organization during the civil war that did much to discourage the Confederates from invading the North. He was a member of the Order of Ohio Squirrel Hunters, composed of enlisted men who responded to a call by Governor Tod for the defense of the southern border of the state, which was in constant danger of being invaded and ravaged by Confederate armies or gorilla bands. The following certificate from the Adjutant General of Ohio shows his standing. State of Ohio. Adjutant General's Dept. Columbus, May 25, 1909. This is to certify that it is shown by the official records of this office, of which I am the lawful custodian, that the name of Newel Mitchell of Licking county, is borne on the roll of Captain George V.

Farm Advisor The extermination of all livestock shade plants in the pepper producing districts and endrons was determined upon at a recent meeting of the Pepper Pepper Growers to Wage Clean-up War By Eric E. Eastman Asst. Farm Advisor The extermination of all black nightshade plants in the pepper producing districts and onions was determined upon at a recent meeting of the Pepper Growers Department in the Farra Bureau office, at the call of J. A. Knapp, of Garden Grove, chatham. The representatives of the U.S. Department of Agriculture Bureau of Entomology and the Agricultural Commissioner's office were present and affirmed that they had the necessary data to prove that black nightshade is an alternate host of the pepper weevil, and so far is now known, the only wild plant upon which the pepper weevil can winter over. This fact is one result of several years work in experimenting and observation of the pepper weevil in the field and at the insectary. Consequently an effort has been made to have black nightshade classified as a noxious weed. A noxious weed, according to the latest wording of the weed law, is a weed detrimental to agriculture. This classifying of black nightshade as a noxious weed will greatly assist the Agricultural Commissioner's corps in their administration work. Last year, lacking such legal classification, it was necessary for the inspector to catch the pepper weevil working on nightshade before a clean-up could be green. As the pepper weevil does nothibernate completely in climate, but is active during the warm periods, flying freely from one host plant to another, the time required positively identify the weevil on any one property seriously impaired the effectiveness of last year's clean-up. The field inspections of the pepper weevil laboratory made during the past season over the doff count are the work of past years, and the weevil lives ever so long and on high grade, for in these areas where the clean-up campaign of 1926 was thoroughly done if any weevils were found early in the season. Later in the season infestations slowly, but almost never interfered seriously with the pepper crop. On the contrary, where the clean-up was inadequate, the pepper weevil was found during the entire winter and spread so rapidly in early summer that such areas became sources of infestation for the entire county, as well as almost if not entirely, destroying the total pepper crop in the vicinity of the first infestations. The growers have made the same observations in the field as the entomologists and are now convinced, as nearly as can be, as the entomologists and are now convinced, as pearly as can be, of the efficiency of the clean-up campaign. Many of the larger growers have already plowed under the old No. 51. Charles C. Weybrecht, Adjust General, State of Ohio.

The growers have made the same observations in the field as the entomologists and are now convinced, as near-1 yas can be, as the entomologists and are now convinced, as nearly as can be, of the efficiency of the clean-up campaign. Many of the larger growers have already plowed under the old pepper plants and many others are following their example. Enhancements, roads, ditches, and railroad right-of-way are beyond the control of the growers and the growers consequently welcome the cooperation of the Agricultural Commissioner to help them destroy all old pepper fields and night-shade plants before the first of January. All landowners and growers, and ranchers in the vicinity of the pepper districts are urged to assist in the clean-up campaign by ridding their own properties of all old pepper plants and black nightshade weeds. Union Pacific Gets Award for Safety The foremost award for safety measures offered United States railroads has been given the Union Pacific System for the year 1928 it became known today through an official announcement made in New York. The award is the Harriman gold medal, given each year to the railroad that has the best record for safety in all branches of its departments and is one of the most coveted prizes in rail transportation. It will be officially presented to the Union Pacific System on December 4 when Carl R. Gray, president and W. M. Jeffers, vice president, will be in New York to receive it. The medal is presented by Mrs. E. H. Harriman. In memory of her former husband who was chairman of the board of the Harriman Lines during his colorful career. This is the fourth time that the Union Pacific has won this honor. It was presented to the railroad in 1924 first, then in 1925.
