Center—Phone 3232 Scientists Find Mealybug Control Major Pest of Orange and Lemon Groves Finds Enemy in Ladybird Beetle Perfect control of the Australian mealybug, an insect pest which for several years threatened great damage to the citrus industry of California, has been accomplished through the efforts of a group of scientists at the University of California Citrus Experiment Station, at Riverside. The work has been under the supervision of Dr. H. S. Smith, entomologist. icles of entomophagous insects which he found preying upon the mealybug at Sydney. He returned in April, 1928, and the insects were all propagated in the insectary at Riverside, and as soon as breeding stock was available the local insectaries interested were supplied with material for propagation purposes. Before the season closed a considerable part of the infested citrus area in Southern California had been colonized with the parasites. Perfect Control Accomplished Dr. Smith states that relief from the pest was apparent very soon, and that as sufficient numbers of the parasites were propagated and released it was certain that perfect control had been accomplished. "The only known localities in the state," he continued, "where the mealybug has been abundant during the past year has been in Monterey and Santa Barbara." Perfect control of the Australian mealybug, an insect pest which for several years threatened great damage to the citrus industry of California, has been accomplished through the efforts of a group of scientists at the University of California Citrus Experiment Station, at Riverside. The work has been under the supervision of Dr. H. S. Smith, entomologist. Pest for Many Years Although the work had progressed a year ago to the point that success seemed sure, Dr. Smith waited until the present season was far advanced before claiming that perfect control of the pest had been accomplished. For many years the mealybug has been a major pest of oranges and lemons in Southern California, and of ornamentals throughout the greater part of the more densely populated section of the state. Occasionally it has been found abundantly on pears and apples and during recent years it has given evidence of being potentially an important pest of these fruits. Australian Beetle Used Orange and lemon growers in California have relief almost from the beginning on the biological method for the control of the mealybugs. This has consisted in the propagation and distribution of enormous numbers of the imported Australian ladybug beetle. This work has been developed to a high degree of perfection, and on a very large scale. There are fourteen or more insectaries engaged in propagating the beetle in Southern California operated by the county agricultural commissioners, fruit growers associations, and private ranchers, always under the supervision of an experienced superintendent. Came From Australia It was not until 1928 that it was definitely established that the mealybug came from Australia. H. Compere, assistant in entomology, at the Experiment Station, went to Australia and at Sydney he found the bug under such conditions as to make it certain that Australia was its country of origin. He brought home with him several spe- Perfect Control Accomplished Dr. Smith states that relief from the pest was apparent very soon, and that as sufficient numbers of the parasites were propagated and released it was certain that perfect control had been accomplished. "The only known localities in the state," he continued, "where the mealybug has been abundant during the past year has been in Monterey and Santa Cruz counties. In these localities the parasites have been introduced just recently in very small numbers and have not yet had time to make a showing. In every case where the parasites have been present for a sufficient length of time the mealybug has been reduced to a point where it is of no economic importance." LIABILITY OF CAR OWNER Carification of the so-called "family car" doctrine, which imputes liability to the owner of the car for injuries caused when the car is driven by members of the family, is seen in three recent court decisions reported by the American Motorists' Association. "The courts have almost uniformly held," the association's legal department says, "that where the owner of a car permits members of his family to use the car negligently and an injury follows, the owner can be held liable. This is on the well-founded theory that the member of the family is the agent of the owner. "The present decisions, however, do not extend this doctrine to cases where, for example, a son of the owner, having permission to use the family car, in turn lends it to another who negligently operates it and causes an injury." The decisions thus limiting the rule were handed down by the District of Columbia Court of Appeals, the Washington State Supreme Court and the New Jersey Court of Errors and Appeals. In the first case, it is stated, the son permitted a friend to drive; in the second, a daughter was being driven to a dance by an escort in her family's car, and in the third, the daughter's flance was using her family's car. In each instance the court held the owner not liable. Beach Frontage Being Protected Millions Are Being Spent Along the Shore Line of Orange County Many tourists who seek routes along the ocean may find inspiration in the huge, high type projects for coast line improvements that are under way in Orange county, it is revealed in a recent development check reaching the Automobile Club of Southern California. Whole Communities Started While the problem of beach frontage is acute in many localities, and the state is being importuned to take steps to establish state parks fronting the ocean, whole communities are being established in Orange county that will forever preclude the possibility of having the ocean front absorbed by hot-dog vendors. Approximately $20,000,000 has been expended in transforming land along the prettiest of the shoreline into seaside cities, each o f which is being erected under a definite plan completed and made six years ago at San Clemente, "the Spanish City." Two years later streets were laid out and building began at Dana Point and three years ago the Doheny Pallsades came into being. In addition to these three residential projects, Doheny has donated approximately 2600 feet of oceanfront to be used as a state park. This half-mile of shoreline has a value of about $1,000,000. In motoring south, Dana Point is the first of the new beach cities encountered. This is between Laguna and Capistrano on the new coast highway and it combines the romance of Spanish days with modern buildings and conveniences. New Tourist Hotel Won Long Play-Off Billy Burke, Greenwich, Conn., won the open golf title after many extra holes with George Von Film, who tied him at the tournament near Detroit. Cucumber Beetle Attacks Cantaloupes Cantaloups fields in various parts of Orange county have suffered damage from the cucumber beetle, and in many cases this damage has looked like disease. Undoubtedly in some cases bacterial wilt may be present because it is known to have occurred in this county in the past, but observations which have been made indicate that a major part of the cantaloupe damage this year has been due to the cucumber beetle, according to information from the Farm Advice office. Both the striped and spotted beetles seem to be about equally important and equally numerous. The damage from the beetles is not particularly ap- Bank Survey of Market Conditions Citrus Prices Showed Subtial Gains in Last Two Weeks A sharp upturn in deciduous prices within the past two weeks the prospect that good returns continued to some extent, is out in a report by the Bank of Lea, as the result of a survey bank's agricultural field force. According to the survey, these either lacked a market entirely time last year, or prices were too cover production costs. Calpeaches are more than holding own in competition with an unlarge crop from Georgia and new from Illinois and other states. Sale of Country Lands The bank reports that the price of favorable markets has also sloned an increased demand for agricultural lands throughout the California Lands, Inc., reported that the six months' period ending June the sale of its country lands was $644,000, which approximately covers all of its sales for 1930. This indicates a growing confidence in the functional soundness of California agriculture. Approximately 36 per cent Southern California Valencia crop and 42 per cent of the state has been marketed to date. It isimated that there will be a to 38,800 carloads of Valencia oil which is 60 per cent larger crop 1930 and about the same size as of two years ago. Price Average Lower Prices to date have averaged 36 a box lower than two years ago though today's prices are higher those of the same date two years Lemons are experiencing except In addition to these three residential projects, Doheny has donated approximately 2600 feet of ocean frontage to be used as a state park. This half-mile of shoreline has a value of about $1,000,000. In motorizing south, Dana Point is the first of the new beach cities encountered. This is between Laguna and Capistrano on the new coast highway and it combines the romance of Spanish days with modern buildings and conveniences. New Tourist Hotel It is here that Orange county is planning to complete a tourist hotel, on which work already has started. A feature of appeal to touring motorists is a de luxe "camp" built in Spanish style, where car and passengers are housed in exclusive fashion for a try at bathing, fishing and other shore diversions. Orange county residents pridefully point to an air photograph of Monte Carlo and explain that the natural formations at Dana Point are a replica of the far-famed foreign principality and that their modern resort of 1400 acres will some day surpass the Mediterranean town in beauty, hospitality and comfort. Millons Yet to Be Spent A few miles below is the Doheny Palisades, where streets and landscaping are being done on 1000 acres. Farther south is San Clemente, the 2000 acres of which is the farthest advanced of the county's beach resorts and which is said to be the finest example extant of building a community to a plan that will perpetuate its beauty, comfort and usefulness. Although large sums have already been spent on these great beach projects, business men of Orange county say that the beginning only has been made and that the next five years will see an additional $50,000,000 invested in the further development of its modernized ocean resorts, making their appeal not only nation-wide but international. Daily Agricultural Radio Program Beginning each day at 12 m. and continuing 10 minutes, talks of interest to farmers, growers and producers will be given during the week beginning August 3, under the auspices of the Agricultural Extension Service, cooperating with Radio Station KFI, as follows: August 3—"Hot and Cold," by J. P. Fairbank, Division of Agricultural Engineering, University of California. August 4—"Another Bumper Calavo Crop: 1931-1932 Sales Prospects," by Edwin Humason, sales and advertising manager, Calavo Growers of California. August 5—"Camel's Thorn in Imperial County," by B. A. Harrigan, agricultural commissioner, Imperial county. Sixty students of subtropical horticulture will visit Orange county next Saturday under the guidance of Farm Advisor H. E. Wahberg. Many foreign lands are represented in this group, including Palestine, South America, Poland and Canada, as well as various parts of our own country. The students are completing an 8-week short course at the Citrus Experiment Station. Riverside, where lectures and laboratory work has been featured this summer. The itinerary of their tour next Saturday will include the Olive Heights Citrus Association, Olive; Lemon Heights; San Joaquin Fruit Company; Tustin; Irvine Ranch; lunch at Santa Ana; Bastanchury Ranch at Fullerton; La Habra Heights, and Leffingwell Ranch. Whittler. Has No Money Now Prices to date have averaged 30 a box lower than two years ago though today's prices are higher those of the same date two years Lemons are experiencing except heavy demands with corresponde improved prices. In comparison with other indies the survey states that citrus is low shape, in spite of the fact that the ket is filled with competitive fruit buying power of the public low normal. Flg Market Better The survey also reported the flik better than last year, and that the prune crop should bring prices if the large exports to Ge can be continued. Field crops are duce were bringing in fair prices good feed barley selling around 90 to $1, wheat from 90 cents to $1. oats at $1.15. Bean prices, however main low with no interest show futures, the report said. Rabbit Killed for Each Mile of R Save the game! Due to the heavy, unnecessary tally among wild animals every year the California Division of Fish Game has issued an appeal to moose and vacationists to drive slowly carefully in the mountains and try. The American Game Association estimated that during last season rabbit was killed for every mile of roadway. There are forty to thousand miles, on an average, of way in each state. A rough es can quickly be made to determine this great loss means to the co in a year's time. And rabbits are not the only "Old Ironsides" Takes to Sea Again The old U. S. Battleship "Constitution," refitted to stand the rigors of old ocean after 44 years of inactivity, is shown being towed out into Boston harbor. She is to be taken on an exhibition tour to American seaports. The students are completing an 8-week short course at the Citrus Experiment Station, Riverside, where lectures and laboratory work has been featured this summer. The itinerary of their tour next Saturday will include the Olive Heights Citrus Association, Olive; Lemon Heights; San Joaquin Fruit Company; Tustin; Irvine Ranch; lunch at Santa Ana; Bastanchury Ranch at Fullerton; La Habra Heights, and Leffingwell Ranch. Whittier. Has No Money Now For Doheny Park The board of supervisors has declined to accept the offer of the State Park Commission which proposed that Orange county provide funds for maintaining Doheny Park, a recent gift of the Doheny interests to the state commission. The supervisors held that the county cannot at this time spare funds for developing and taking care of the tract. Bank Survey of Market Conditions Prices Showed Substantial Gains in Last Two Weeks Arp upturn in deciduous fruit within the past two weeks, with expect that good returns may be led to some extent, is pointed a report by the Bank of America the result of a survey by the agricultural field force. Ding to the survey, these fruits tracked a market entirely at this last year, or prices were too low to production costs. California are more than holding their competition with an unusually high crop from Georgia and new crops in Illinois and other states. Sale of Country Lands Bank reports that the prospectable markets has also increased demand for choice rural lands throughout the state. California Lands, Inc., reported that for months' period ending June 30, one of its country lands totaled which approximately equaled sales for 1930. This indicates strong confidence in the fundamentals of California agriculture, they stated. Price Average Lower To date have averaged 30 cents lower than two years ago, al-today's prices are higher than the same date two years ago, are experiencing exceptionally things that suffer through the carelessness of automobile drivers. Deer, quail, pheasants, song and insectivorous birds, fur-bearers and all types of wild life perish before the motor cars, according to game wardens in this state. "An ounce of precaution will save a fortune in wild life," according to John L. Farley, executive officer of the Division of Fish and Game. "Thousands of dollars are spent annually by the people of the United States to protect the wild birds and animals from extermination, and to make the country and forests joyous places for recreation. To kill carelessly and wastefully means to defeat the very purpose." California probably has more miles of excellent mountain highway than any other state in the union. Citizens should not only drive carefully but should assist in the education of others to do so, according to fish and game officials. Flock of Airplanes Coming to County A flock of airplanes with well-known pilots at the controls will fly into Orange county on August 4 from Los Angeles, bearing invitations to attend the fiesta events in Los Angeles, Sept. 4 to 13. It is expected that 50 planes will make up the cavalcade, which will make a stop at Santa Ana.
