Drive Against Crooked and Careless Fruit and Produce Dealers Results In Recovery of $75,000 Within Past Year Orange County Chinese Dealer Sentenced to 60 Days In Jail In Campaign; Warrants Issued for Arrest of Officers of Fruit Company Operating Out of Stockton Issuance of warrants for the arrest of Frank Re and Concetta Re, principal officers of the Eastern Fruit company of Stockton, who closed out the company and decamped, with $5,000 in growers claims confronting them, has been ordered by Dudley Moulton, director of the state department of agriculutre. The warrants, charging breach of the deciduous fruit dealers act, have been issued at Stockton. Issuance of warrants against the Res was simultaneous with the receipt of information from Orange county that Ung Jung Hung, a Chinese dealer, has been sentenced to 60 days in that county for doing business without a license and for failure to remit payments due. The Eastern Fruit company was engaged in the shipping of grapes to eastern markets. The amounts of growers claims against the company has not yet been heard from. The total, however, would be around $5,000, he said. All growers who did business with the company were requested by Moulton to get in touch with the Department headquarters direct or with its division of Market Enforcement in San Francisco, C. J. Carey, chief. With the disappearance of the Res there disappeared also all of the records of the Eastern Fruit company. It will be necessary for the department to prepare formal claims against the bonding company, which will be done, as soon as a sufficient number of growers have been heard from. "This drive against the crooked and careless fruit and produce dealers in the state has already resulted in a number of arrests and convictions and the recovery of approximately $75,000 for the growers in less than a year's time," Moulton said. "It will be kept up until they have all been run out of California." Supervisors Get Partial Report County welfare Director B. V. Curry Tuesday reported to the board of supervisors that necessary data regarding unemployment, amounts spent for relief, financial condition of cities and other necessary information for northern Orange county had been completed, but that such information for the southern portion of the county would not be ready until next Tuesday. The survey is being made under auspices of the board of supervisors for the purpose of applying to the Reconstruction Finance Corporation for funds with which to help the unemployed. This information is demanded by the R. F.C. It is questionable whether or not the survey can be completed and action of the board taken in time to have the R. F.C. act upon the request for March relief. Whether or not the data will be compiled in time for the county to get action on its application for March is problematic. It was pointed out that in addition to being necessary in securing a loan for Orange county the data being compiled under direction of Curry will be valuable to the county in other work.

"This drive against the crooked and careless fruit and produce dealers in the state has already resulted in a number of arrests and convictions and the recovery of approximately $75,000 for the growers in less than a year's time." Moulton said. "It will be kept up until they have all been run out of California." "The Department of Agriculture likes to regard itself chiefly as a service organization. But it has a club to use against all who would defraud the growers, and right now it is swinging that club to good effect. All growers having claims against dealers and buyers are urged to get in touch with the department without delay." Other recent claims on which the department has been enabled to obtain payment are as follows: Twenty-one growers in the Manteca district received $1,462.87 from a San Francisco firm. This represents money due growers in consignments of juice grapes for the Eastern market in the 1930 season. J. D.

Researchers May Determine Virus Establishment of laboratory technic in determining the nature of viruses causing diseases in the plant world, may have a profound bearing on diagnoses of virus diseases affecting humans and animals. Dr. T. E. Rawlins, expert in plant pathology, and William N. Takahashi, research assistant, in employing special equipment involving use of refracted or bent light rays, have been able to note the difference in the behaviour of juices extracted from healthy tobacco plants, and those taken from plants infected with mosaic disease, said to be caused by a virus. Filterable viruses, scientists believe, are made up of organisms small enough to pass through a bacterial filter of unglazed procelain or compressed infusorial earth, and cannot, therefore, be distinguished by the use of a microscope. Up to 1927, according to reliable observers, approximately forty diseases of man and domestic animals have been "charged to ultraviolet viruses." Among these are yellow fever, smallpox, trachoma, measles, trench fever, rabies, mumps, poliomyelitis, influenza, and common colds. Diseases of domestic animals believed to be caused by viruses include foot and mouth disease, contagious bovine pleuro pneumonia, African horse-sickness, fowl plague, cattle plague, sheep-pox, swine fever, canine distemper, and equine infectious pernicious anaemia. In the plant world, mosaic virus diseases affect potatoes, tomatoes, beans, peaches, peas, cucumbers, clover, maize, sorghum, and various grasses. In the experiments conducted by plant pathologists, juice pressed from frozen virus-infected tobacco leaves was forced from a tube placed between crossed Nicols crystals. Contrasted with the dark color of the juice of healthy plants, extractions from infected plants appeared bright.

Beatty, who has been president for several years. S. W. McCollock was re-elected vice-president, and V. C. Stocking re-named secretary; while J. F. Hixon was retained as assistant manager. Members of the board, in addition to the officers are: D. W. Anderson, H. A. Yorker and W. H. Bates. Eyes Examined — Glasses Pitted HOMER A. NEILSON, Opt. D. Optometrist TEUTONOPHONE FOR THE HARD OF HEARING Phone 8104 114 N. Lemon St. ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA SWINE FEVER, CANINE DISTEMPER, AND EQUINE INFECTIOUS PERNICIOUS ANAEMIA. In the plant world, mosaic virus diseases affect potatoes, tomatoes, beans, peaches, peas, cucumbers, clover, maize, sorghum, and various grasses. In the experiments conducted by plant pathologists, juice pressed from frozen virus-infected tobacco leaves was forced from a tube placed between crossed Nicols crystals. Contrasted with the dark color of the juice of healthy plants, extractions from infected plants appeared bright. "Whether the brightness of color exhibited by juice from the infected leaves is due to invisible rod-shaped virus particles, or to other unknown causes, has not yet been determined," says D. Rawlins. "In any case, the technique is of use in determining whether plants are infected with tobacco mosaic virus." If technic developed is found to be applicable to the viruses causing diseases of man and domestic animals, it is possible it may be used in diagnosis of some of these diseases."
