Correct Erratic Bearing of Fruit Losses from delayed foliation may be overcome through a new treatment recently discovered by University of California and United States department of agriculture field men. They claim to have devised a method whereby trees can be made to produce regular crops, despite the weather of the previous winter, and have been granted a public patent on the method, which has been turned over to Henry A. Wallace, secretary of agriculture. During warm winters, particularly in southern California, trees do not become dormant, foliation is delayed in the spring, and crops are sharply reduced. Avocado and lemon trees are bearers in alternate years, and the new process may obviate this, as well. The treatment given is as follows: About two weeks before the normal or desired leafing, start of the growth cycle, or blooming time for the variety of trees being treated, the trees are enclosed in tents or gas-tight covers. Bishop Given Bulk of Priest's Estate The bulk of the $105,437 estate left by the late Father Patrick Browne will go to the Rt. Rev. John J. Cantwell, bishop of Los Angeles. It was learned this week when the report of Howard Irwin, state inheritance tax appraiser, was filed with the county clerk. Two thousand dollars was left to the deceased's brother, Francis Prowne, of Ireland. Included in the estate were stocks, banks deposits, postal savings, annuities and a residence. Then butylene gas is released inside the tent until the proportion is one part of butylene to 100,000 parts of air. The temperature is kept between 60 and 100 degrees Fahrenheit during the process. The length of treatment is from one to two hours. Gas and other chemical treatments have been used in the past to stimulate the opening of cut flowers. It is reported, but this is the first time whole trees have been gassed to make them blossom at the desired time. 25 MAJOR PIECES $195 INTEREST - NO CARRYING CHARGE piece Overstuffed Set Davenport and Chair x12-ft.
