Anaheim, Calif., Nov. 30, 1933 Sulphuric Acid As Weed Killer Gets State’s Attention Seek Practical Methods of Control of Weeds Through Series Of Experiments To ascertain the effect of sulphuric acid upon various kinds of weed growth, and to find practical methods for its use in weed control, a project has been started. According to announcement by Dr. W. W. Ribbins, professor of botany, the work will be conducted by W. E. Ball throughout the state. Dr. Robbins and W. C. Jacobsen, chief of the division of pest control, state department of agriculture, have been named as a research committee to superintend the project. Funds are to be furnished by the crop protection institute. Points to Be Investigated Among the points to be investigated are these: The effect of sulphuric acid upon different species of weeds and cultivated plants in different stages of development, as influenced by the nature of leaf surface, and on plants of different habits of growth; the effectiveness of sulphuric acid on plants as influenced by humidity, dew and rain, temperature and light, time of day, and wind movement, by the pressure of spray pump, volume of material applied, strength of solution, "spreaders," and number of applications. Cost studies also are to be made as affected by labor, material, and equipment. Sulphuric Acid Gives Promise Greenhouses and laboratory studies will be followed by studies in the field through the cooperation of county farm advisers, agricultural commissioners, the state department of agriculture, and farmers. Safe Driving Urged On New Ridge Route Travel conditions on the new, modern alternate Ridge Route pavement present a remarkable contrast to those on the old Ridge route when it was opened late in 1919. At that time speed was restricted to 15 miles per hour on the old road, due to its many blind curves and narrow graded, and motorists were warned to "watch their step." This necessitated the posting of many signs by the Automobile Club of Southern California to warn motorists of sharp turns and limit on speed. With thousands of motorists now enjoying comfortable and safe travel conditions on the new 29-mile road from Castalie to Gorman, it is evident that the old warning to drivers to "watch their step" is still applicable, notwithstanding the long-radius curves and wide pavement which permits a legal speed limit of 45 miles per hour except in traffic congestion. This safety suggestion to drive carefully arises from a number of serious accidents which have occurred on the new road since its opening, and are believed to have been caused by either carelessness or speeding, says the club.

Oil Distributor Is Very Busy As Champ “Explainer” Los Angeles Man's "Chiseling" Discovered by State's Agents; Given Limited Time A Los Angeles wholesale lubricating oil distributor will be very busy this week marking the rounds of his customers and "explaining" to them that he sold them as 100 per cent pure Champ “Explainer” Los Angeles Man’s “Chiseling” Discovered by State’s Agents; Given Limited Time A Los Angeles wholesale lubricating oil distributor will be very busy this week marking the rounds of his customers and “explaining” to them that the off he sold them as 100 per cent pure Pennsylvania was, in reality; very inferior in quality and known as red engine oil. Reporting to State Director of Agriculture A. A. Brock, J. S. Casey, chief of the division of weights and measures, said that the marketer had agreed to quickly collect his inferior oil and replace it with the “real stuff” but that he had not been inclined to take that action until he had been “informed” that secret hydrometer tests made by inspectors of the state division of weights and measures showed the fraud he was perpetrating not only on the dealers but also on the motorists who bought the product. Casey added that a close follow-up check was being made on the “chiseler” and that if all his inferior product had not been replaced with fresh, clean 100 per cent Pennsylvania oil within 10 days then a warrant for his arrest would be issued, charging him with violation of the oil substitution act. The report further showed that the department had caused prosecutions in 17 cases involving violations of state weights and measures laws ranging from $100 to $10 being collected in each case. Classified, the violations ranged from short weight chicken to short weight mothballs. “God, Only Cause And Creator,” Topic “I am the Lord, your Holy One, the creator of Israel, your King.” These words of God as revealed to Isaiah constitute the Golden Text in the Lesson-Sermon on “God the Only Cause and Creator” on Sunday in all branches of The Mother Church, The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Mass. One of the Scriptural selections in the Lesson-Sermon includes the verses from Isaiah: “Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding. He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.” Another selection includes the verses from II Samuel: “As for God, his way is perfect; the word of the Lord is tried; he is a buckler to all them that trust in him.

Insurance Need Is Forcibly Revealed It appears now, in the light of later events, that Adam Stern really did need insurance at the time he refused to order a policy from E. H. Kundert, of Lodi, California, when he had Kundert arrested for assault and battery, asserting Kundert bumped his head against a wall and tried to strangle him when Stern refused to accept the policy on its arrival. Kundert obtained an attorney and filed suit against Stern asking for the premium allegedly due on the policy. Historic Buffalo Skull Has Message A buffalo skull bearing the message of Brigham Young, Mormon pioneer who led his people into the great Salt Lake valley in 1847, telling parties to follow his trail westward, was presented to the Latter Day Saints (Mormon) Church museum by the Salt Lake Chamber of Commerce. The skull, one of a few original "bulletins of the plains," will be kept on exhibition to thousands of tourists visiting the historic museum in the Mormon temple block house at Salt Lake City. Busiest Airway To Maintain Lighting The mid-continent New York-Chicago-Pacific Coast airway is to continue to have full time lighting, according to an announcement made by the Department of commerce. This route is the busiest long distance airway in the world.

Butterfield of the University of California, and spraying is not practical because of the high cost. But, says Butterfield, it may be possible to avoid the damage and difficulty by the selection of varieties. Peas of light green color apparently are more resistant to aphis damage than those of darker green, he says. Plant breeders are at work to see if a strain entirely resistant cannot be developed. Whether alfalfa, also attacked by pea aphis, can be similarly handled, has not been determined, he says. RAMBLING ROUND NEW YORK WITH HUGH KENNY In a typical tenement in a typical slum district on the lower East side of New York only two rooms out of seven have windows fronting on the outside. A little three-year-old lad was taken to the police station out at Coney Island. Sald the desk sergeant, "What's the matter, sonny? Are you lost?" "No, sir," piped the lad, "I'm not lost, Grandma's lost." The most plaintive salespeople we know are two little girls who stand in the doorway of an office building on Lexington Avenue below 42nd Street from five o'clock on each night. Over the big baskets covered with a clean cloth come their thin, piping voices. "Buy some doughnuts my mother makes?" The head of the picture department at the New York Public Library insists that all requests be written. She explained recently that New York dialects are too frequently misunderstood and illustrated with this experience: Someone made a verbal request for pictures of New York wharves and docks. And when the pictures arrived at the desk they proved to be of wolves and ducks. Gift To Finance Investigation of Spray Announced Use of Selenium Will Be Studied As Result of Bureau of Foods' Objection Selenium, the base of the most successful spray yet tried in the control of red spider in California, may be barred from use because of claims made by the United States bureau of food and drugs, that it has a toxic effect on animals fed from food produced on soil containing one part of the mineral to one million of soil. In an effort to determine if there is danger in the use of spray which has a selenium base, the University of California will make a thorough investigation, it is announced by President R. G. Soroul and Dean C. B. Hutchison of the College of Agriculture. The investigation is to be in charge of Prof. W. B. Herms, head of the entomology division of the College of Agriculture; and is to be financed by a $3,000 gift. Four Studies Planned The investigation will take four directions. Dr. P. L. Kirk, assistant professor of biochemistry, will develop a precise analytical method for selenium in the tissues of animals, insects and plant nutrition, will study the absorption of selenium by plant roots, the fate of selenium added to soils, absorption of selenium into plant tissues after spraying. Dr. C. D. Leake, professor of pharmacology, will study the toxicity to small animals of selenium spray, residues of the spray remaining on plants after spraying, or plants sprayed, and of plants grown on soils infected with selenium. Dr. W. M. Hoskins, assistant professor of entomology and parasitology, will study the mode of toxic action of selenium as shown by comparative toxicity as stomach, contact and respiratory poison with several kinds of arthropods, the effect of comparative acidity of the soil upon toxicity of solutions containing selenium, the effect of temperature upon toxicity, and gross and microscopic examination of tissues of insects exposed to selenium. Spray Used Successfully The selenium spray has been used for two years with remarkable success upon red spider, which has been a pest difficult to control. The kill, Professor Herms says, has been about 98 per cent. The head of the picture department at the New York Public Library insists that all requests be written.

The activity of the railroads in building new, faster, streamlined trains has extended to one of New York's subway systems which has recently placed an order for an aluminum streamlined train for experimental operation early next year. The speed is planned for 50 in contrast with the present 40 mile an hour trains, will weigh half as much and accommodate as many passengers in five cars as eight cars of present design. Parked in a car near the firehouse on the Battery down at the tip of Manhattan. An alarm came in. Less than thirty seconds after the signal was completed every light in the fire boat was ablaze, the big diesel engines started, the whistle blown and the lines cast off... We followed up-river by a zig-zag course on land, all set to watch the turret nozzles swing their streams into action against the roaring fire... When we and the fire-boat arrived, the taxicab's fire on the dock was already out. The strictest traffic enforcement we know is in the Holland Tunnel that speeds thousands of motorists under the Hudson between Manhattan and New Jersey every day. Cross the white line in the center of the tunnel and you're as good as pinched—whether you think you're seen or not. Midst a roar of rubber on asphalt you're greeted by one sign after another; "Go 35 Miles"; "Blow no Horns"; "Go 40 Miles—Upgrade." ... But we crossed that fatal white line one day recently—by request. We soon found out way. The Tunnel Police tractor was dragging a bus-full of placid people toward the exit.

Spray Used Successfully The selenium spray has been used for two years with remarkable success upon red spider, which has been a pest difficult to control. The kill, Professor Herms says, has been about 98 per cent. Fruit sprayed has been eaten and no illness has been reported from any source. However, the claim that when mixed with the soil, even in proportions of one to one million parts, it poisons animals fed upon plants grown in that soil, has caused some concern, as unquestionably the spray runoff from the leaves gets into the soil when vines or trees are sprayed. To determine just what the danger is and what the effect of its use will be, will be determined by the investigation. Vote for ORANGE COUNTY HARBOR DECEMBER 19. Two Lads With One Shot Is New Adage The old adage about "two birds with one stone" is a painful recollection to Donald Brayton, 17, and Carl Trink, 18. Escalon high school students at Modesto. They went hunting with a small caliber rifle. Tiring, they sat down, Brayton laying the gun across his knees. It discharged accidentally, the bullet piercing Brayton's left leg below the knee, and Trink's left leg in the calf.

One Pupil Was Married Man A ranger-naturalist in Yellowstone Park was lecturing on the mountain lion's position as king of beasts in the park.

WATCH CHARGING RATE Batteries may become damaged if the generator charging rate is too high, according to the emergency service department of the Automobile Club of Southern California. With almost constant day driving and only a little night driving there is a possibility that the charging rate may be too high, which has a tendency to cause buckling of battery plates. It is advisable to have a reliable service man set the rate to conform with driving conditions. Vote for ORANGE COUNTY HARBOR DECEMBER 19. Homer A. Nelson, Opt. D. OPTOMETRIST Phone 3104 114 N.
