Plan Interstate Plant Quarantine Strict Measure to be Adapted to Keep Out Various Pests California through legislation and the State Director of Agriculture maintains two kinds of quarantine: interstate, in which certain commodities are forbidden entry or entered only under regulation because of pests which have not already become established here; and intrastate, which as the word implies deals with the protection of the remaining areas in the State after a pest has gained a foothold in some one or more localities. The Federal Government through the Plant Quarantine and Pest Control Administration has assisted the various States with interstate quarantines of major pests; as for example the recent Mediterranean Fruit Fly Quarantine. Such quarantines are so vital to the well being of the nation that very few other than those immediately and financially affected question the advisability or enforcement of them. In fact, sound-thinking residents of a state are always anxious to keep out pests which some other state may be unfortunate enough to have. But let us consider the pests which have already crossed our borders—and there are many. Alfalfa weevil, established only in a few northern counties, is credited with reducing the crop by one or two cuttings annually. Citrus white fly, for many years established in several northern cities, would mean one if not more additional costly treatments annually on our citrus and many ornamentals if it should become a pest here in the southland. The Australian visitor, called the vegetable weevil, now well established about the San Francisco Bay, shares the profits of vegetable producers in that section of the State. Only recently the Texas or Ozonium Root rot has been found in three small areas in the south-eastern corner of our state. It is a disease which may is credited with reducing the crop by one or two cuttings annually.

The Australian visitor, called the vegetable weevil, now well established about the San Francisco Bay, shares the profits of vegetable producers in that section of the State. Only recently the Texas or Ozonium Root rot has been found in three small areas in the south-eastern corner of our state. It is a disease which may kill trees within a week and likewise attacks many field crops such as cotton and alfalfa. The strawberry root weevil is very destructive to strawberry plants and is now known to exist in only two northern counties. A newly described fly which has been observed in Western San Bernardino County and Eastern Los Angeles County for some three years has proven a serious factor to be considered when quality walnuts are desired. A low quality product soon spells death in this day of competitive standardization. Immediate restrictive regulation or absolute quarantine of plants or plant products becomes necessary when a new pest is found within our gates for several reasons: First. The time required for reconnaissance to determine the extent of infestation may permit so great a spread of the pest by human agencies that eradication would be come impossible or impractical. Second. Even when the completed survey shows eradication to be impossible it is highly essential to curb dissemination through human agencies in order to decrease losses while control methods based on scientific research are worked out or developed. Third. A pest of apparently minor importance in its native habitat if not accompanied by its natural enemies often assumes major importance when exposed to slightly different climatic conditions and a more favorable food supply. Sane intrastate plant quarantine must be based on the economic benefit of the protection it offers to a locality. Pest control methods are usually expensive. If the entrance of a new pest to a locality increases the cost of production or decreases the yield, the economic law of diminishing returns will inevitably take effect. A 20 to 25% loss to a major crop for even one year would equal the cost of and justify the inconvenience associated with quarantine for many years. The wine grape industry is credited with first attracting the attention of our agricultural people to the financial losses due to the introduction and spread of insect pests. California in the early 70's was already a great producer of wine grapes. In 1873 first mention was made of the presence of Phylloxera vastatrix, an aphid or plant louse which attacked the grape, especially the roots of certain varieties. Early the next year the Viticultural state are still considered free from this nest, we are encouraged to apply quarantines and to recommend that they be applied without loss of time, which is the cause of many lost battles. After the first and necessarily hasty survey is made, if a reasonable temporary quarantine be imposed, more time can be spent on research into the biological and ecological facts governing the case, as well as the financial situation involved, without exposing more citizens to losses in the interim. In the related field of animal quarantine, a comparison of the recent outbreak of foot and mouth disease with the 1924 outbreak offers a very good example of the necessity and value of immediate and drastic action, and the disastrous consequences of delay. Only a few years past the white snail, Helix plana, was discovered in San Diego County. Prompt and determined action to prevent the pest from becoming widespread resulted in a successful campaign, and today the infestation is practically extinct. The citrophilus mealybug in the past decade has spread by leaps and bounds throughout much of our coastal plantings of both citrus and ornamentals. This spread is a good example of what can take place in the absence of a vigorous quarantine and full cooperation of the general public. The penalty is an annual loss of hundreds of thousands of dollars in spite of the controlling the pest. Should this not be an object lesson to the public in general, both urban and rural, to cooperate in a demand for safe and sane intrastate plant quarantine to Bearing Christmas remembrances which will be distributed West at every Richfield service station, Santa Claus, as revered Richfield planes on December 19th. Here are photos shown Los Angeles, and may of the cities where the various planets are still considered free from this nest, we are encouraged to apply quarantines and to recommend that they be applied without loss of time, which is the cause of many lost battles.

California in the early 70's was already a great producer of wine grapes. In 1873 first mention was made of the presence of Phylloxera vastatrix, an aphid or plant louse which attacked the grape, especially the roots of certain varieties. Early the next year the Viticultural Club took "action to acquaint the Legislature of the ravages of Phylloxera and demand from it that some remedies and material be forthcoming so that a series of experiments may be inaugurated." It was not until 1880—less than 50 years ago—that there was approved "an act for the Promotion of the Viticultural Industries of the State." Slightly before this date, in 1877, the State of Victoria, Australia, had passed an act using the word "Quarantine" in connection with the movement of Phylloxera infested vines. During the same decade Codling moth was brought into the Sacramento Valley from East of the Rockies and the red scale of oranges was introduced into Southern California on citrus nursery stock. In 1881 the California Legislature passed "an act to protect and promote the Horticultural Interests of the State." From that time to the present changes have been made in the general structure of the laws concerning agriculture with the avowed purpose of strengthening our protection against pests destructive to agriculture. During all the years of development of quarantine for the protection of agriculture, the story has been "if this thing had only been recognized as a pest before it became so widespread, we could have eradicated it or something could have been done to check the spread." Is this very expression not a sad admission that those in whose hands is placed the responsibility of guarding against new enemies were not sufficiently alert and fearless in the administration of this responsibility? When we realize that one of our oldest intrastate quarantines was directed against the Phylloxera affecting grapes and that twenty-seven counties of the The citrophilus mealybug in the past decade has spread by leaps and bounds throughout much of our coastal plantings of both citrus and ornamentals.

Turkey Growers Meet at State University The Poultry Husbandry Division of the University of California announces the first Turkey Growers' Conference to be held at the University Farm, Davis, on January 2, 3, and 4. Turkey growers from all over the state have expressed the need for a state-wide conference of this kind where it will be possible to meet other growers from the different sections and discuss the problems in which each is most interested. Much interest has centered about natural versus artificial rearing and Mr. Lloyd will present a detailed discussion of these two methods, particularly the latter. Disease problems are always present where turkeys are reared and methods of prevention and control will be taken up by Dr. Hinshaw. Feed requirements will be handled by Dr. Holst and preparation for market by Mr. Newton. Extension workers who are familiar with problems in the field will lead the discussions each day. Modern methods will be outlined and best practices recommended. The last day will be occupied with a trip to turkey farms employing artificial methods. Don't forget the dates January 2, 3, and 4. Divorce in bolshevist Russia used to be free but now it costs twenty-five cents to get one. Here is another base surrender to capitalism. ANAHEIM GAZETTE A Takes To Air In Richfield Plane DANGEROUS CROSSINGS Blazing red Neon tube signs will warn motorists of dangerous railroad grade crossings, according to plans announced today by the Department of Public Works. Bids have already been asked for providing 25 of these signs, according to B. B. Meek, director. They will be placed over the highway at the 15 most dangerous crossings, until such time as the state can substitute a crossing underneath the tracks. Wonder when some modern poet will take time to write one about the spreading tarfle cop and the village filling station. NOTICE OF SALE OF REAL PROPERTY BY TRUSTEE UNDER DEED OF TRUST.

Paying Indemnity To Cattlemen Test Case Before Supreme Court Attracts Widespread Interest California cattle and dairy men are watching with interest results of a test case now before the state supreme court concerning payment of indemnity to owners whose cattle are slaughtered because of tuberculosis infection. Every county in the state will be affected by the decision. Last year Orange county had 424 herds tested and 362 cattle found infected. The 1929 legislature passed the "Bovine Tuberculosis Law" which includes reimbursement for owners of cattle killed because of infection. Two reactors to the tuberculin test were found in San Francisco, a tuberculosis control area, by state field veterinarians. The animals were appraised, branded and slaughtered in accordance with provisions of the new law. Payment of a claim representing the amount due the owner from the state was refused by State Controller Ray L. Riley because of the questionable constitutionality of the indemnity provisions of the law. Upon the result of this test case rests the possibility of owners receiving indemnity in the future for slaughter of tuberculin cattle. The first tuberculosis legislation in California was the enactment of the Crab Grass in Lawns Should Be Eradicated Dead spots occurring in lawns in the late fall and winter months are frequently due to the presence of crab grass which appears in the summer and spreads rapidly through the lawn by rooting at the joints. In spite of close trimming, it forms an abundance of seed to carry it over to the next season, the old plant dying out in winter. Crab grass grows rapidly in summer, and when undisturbed may form an extensive mat. The stems are weak, and tend to lodge on the ground, with only the ends growing upward. At each joint in contact with moist soil a mass of fibrous roots is formed. If their connection with the parent plant is severed these rooted joints continue to grow independently. Crab grass may thus become a nuisance in agricultural land as well as in lawns, but as it requires considerable moisture, it generally does not persist under cultivation. In alfalfa fields, open ditches, and borders, it sometimes becomes troublesome, and in orchards it may become established around standpipes, under trees, and in the summer cover crop. The flowering stems are erect, with spreading fingerlike spikes resembling those of Bermuda grass. The seed is a common impurity in bluegrass and other grass seeds. Crab grass is easily controlled by thorough cultivation, or by spraying with oil, but its control in lawns is aWhereas, by a certain Deed of Trust, dated October 3, 1928, recorded November 2, 1928, in Book 208, Page 428, of Official Records, Records of Orange County, California, to which record reference is hereby made for all of the provisions thereof, Arthur Peterson and Alma Petersen, husband and wife, did grant and convey the real property therein described, being the real property hereinafter described, to the Southern Counties Securities Company, a corporation, of Anaheim, California, as Trustee, to secure, among other obligations, the payment of one certain promissory note dated October 3, 1928, made by said Arthur Petersen and Alma Petersen, husband and wife, to the East Side Mutual Building and Loan Association of Los Angeles County, a corporation, or order, for the principal sum of $370.00, with interest at the rate of 8.4 per cent per annum, principal being due in one year after date and interest thereunder being payable quarterly; and WHEREAS, a Breach and default in the performance of an obligation for which said deed of trust is a security has occurred, in that default was made under the terms of said note and Deed of Trust in that the installment of interest due April 3, 1929, was not paid when due, and has not since been paid, no part of said installation having been paid, and in that no installment of interest due on said note subsequent to April 3, 1929, was paid in whole or in part, and that there was on July 8, 1929, the sum of $370.00, together with interest thereunder from January 3, 1929, unpaid on said note; and WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of said East Side Mutual Building and Loan Association of Los Angeles County on July 1929, in regular meeting exercised the option contained in said note and as provided by Section 639 of the Civil Code of the State of California by adopting a resolution on said day at said meeting that the whole sum of principal unpaid on said note on said date, to-wit: $370.00 and Interest on said sum from January 3, 1929, be then immediately due; and WHEREAS, said East Side Mutual Building and Loan Association of Los Angeles County did on August 12, 1929, record in the office of the County Recorder of Orange County, California,a notice of the above mentioned breach and default and Notice Of Its Election to cause the Property described in said Deed of Trust to be sold by said Southern Counties Securities Company, in accordance with-the provisions of said Deed of Trust to satisfy the obligations secured by said Deed of Trust, which notice of default and of election to sell was duly recorded in Book 299, Page 319, of Official Records of Orange County; and WHEREAS, more than three months have now elapsed since the recordation of said Notice and all of the sums and obligations secured by said Deed of Trust remain unpaid; and The Trustee's Fees and expenses of sale incurred and to be incurred necessary to the execution of the trusts contained in said Deed of Trust are estimated at $117.50, and the re-payment of sum is also secured by said Deed culosis control area, by state field veterinarians. The animals were appraised, branded and slaughtered in accordance with provisions of the new law. Payment of a claim representing the amount due the owner from the state was refused by State Controller Ray L. Riley because of the questionable constitutionality of the indemnity provisions of the law. Upon the result of this test case rests the possibility of owners receiving indemnity in the future for slaughter of tuberculin cattle. The first tuberculosis legislation in California was the enactment of the Pure Milk Law in 1915, which required all cattle, including family cows from which milk is sold, to be tuberculin tested. All animals found diseased are branded with a letter "T" on the left jaw. Since this work was undertaken there have been 1,108,475 tuberculin tests of cattle producing dairy products to be consumed raw. The 1929 law tightened these regulations and provided the state department of agriculture with more weapons for enforcement. Two arrests were made in Imperial county last month when owners refused to brand reacting animals as provided by the law. Complete satisfaction with the manner in which the law is working has been expressed by state officials. Should the supreme court decide in favor of constitutionality of the indemnity section of the law, officials declare that the last barrier to cooperation between the state and cattle owners will be eliminated. PROBATION OFFICER California's new state probation officer, John Plover, is a busy man, according to Mrs. Anna L. Saylor, director of the state department of social welfare. The office of supervisor of probation was created by the last legislature and Plover was taken from a county position in Santa Rosa. His position demands continual contact and cooperation with county probation officers and institutions for confining prisoners in counties. During the past month Plover has visited 19 probation officers, inspected 12 detention homes and 10 county jails, Mrs. Saylor said. TIMETABLE In effect June 9, 1929 A. T. & S. F.
