Citrus Disease Experts Study Quick Decline Due to lack of space in last week's issue of the Gazette, it became necessary to hold over the last half of the report on Citrus Quick Decline. Members of the Plant Pathology Division, University of Southern California Citrus Experiment station, studied transmission of the disease in an attempt to gain evidence as to the real nature of it. In their August 1945 survey, it was found that Quick Decline can be transmitted from diseased to healthy trees by budding. Top symptoms of Quick Decline were noticed by September 1946. Starch content in the leaves of unhealthy specimens became abnormally high. Examination of the roots of the Quick Decline specimens showed the degree of sloughing of the fiber roots to be proportionate to the stage of top symptoms. When held in moist sand, root segments from one check tree that had been budded with healthy buds, failed to rot within five weeks. Segments from two inoculated trees showing advanced symptoms of quick decline were completely decayed after two weeks. Root sections from two inoculated trees showing intermediate symptoms rotted slowly and irregularly. These results were comparable to the behavior of root sections from known quick decline trees tested in earlier investigations. Four trees that had been inoculated with diseased material, which showed slight or no starch in the small roots and top symptoms apparently typical of quick decline, were dug out, sectioned lengthwise, and painted with IKI solution to determine the distribution of starch in the main roots and trunks. It was seen that in the inoculated diseased trees the starch has completely disappeared from the sour root portions, and, in some instances, from a part of the sweet trunks above the bud unions. In the check tree, a uniform distribution of starch in both the root and trunk could be seen. In October, 1946, a series of trees included in this experiment was studied from point of view symptom content of small roots. All trees on which any question in the case to the presence of symptoms were again on November 11, 1946. Trees were also examined parison with the data below is a summary obtained: Treatment for 100 spur buds for each tree released specimen. Number diseased—36; per cent tion, 35.0. Treatment for 50 spur buds for each healthy specimen. Number diseased—1; per cent tion, 2.0. Treatment of 50 trees ded; Number of trees 1; per cent of infection.

All trees were studied from the standpoint of top symptoms and starch content of small roots and twigs. All trees on which there had been any question in the first survey as to the presence of definite symptoms were again examined on November 11, 1946. The check trees were also examined for comparison with the diseased ones. Below is a summary of the data obtained: Treatment for 100 trees—three spur buds for each tree from diseased specimen. Number of trees diseased—36; per cent of infection, 35.0. Treatment for 50 trees—three spur buds for each tree from healthy specimen. Number of trees diseased—1; per cent of infection, 2.0. Treatment of 50 trees—not budded; Number of trees diseased—1; per cent of infection, 2.0. The occurrence of one quick decline tree in each of the two check groups indicates that at least some natural infection has taken place. Two additional check trees have shown very slight indications of being in the early stages of quick decline but cannot be classed as definitely diseased at this time. In the group of trees inoculated by means of buds from quick decline trees, 36 per cent had symptoms which appear identical to those of quick decline. If it is assumed that in that group also two per cent of the diseased trees may have resulted from natural infection, there remains an increase of 34 per cent infection in the inoculated group over the check group and it seems safe to conclude that approximately that percentage of diseased trees has resulted from the inoculations these trees received 15 to 16 months earlier. Further evidence that at least a slight amount of natural infection is occurring in young trees is evident from results of a survey of 303 Valencia on sour planted in June, 1945, in an area of the experimental block from which all old trees had been removed. None of these young trees were included in the regular transmission tests but in early November of 1946, four of them, or 1.3 per cent, showed typical advanced symptoms of quick decline. This percentage is in close agreement with that found in the non-inoculated check trees of the transmission experiment. Attention has been called to the striking analogy between the collapse or degeneration of the sieve tubes in the region of the bud union of quick decline trees and the condition found previously in certain grafted cherry trees affected with the Green Valley Buckskin virus. The reproduction of quick decline symptoms in young trees inoculated by means of tissue graft is proof that quick decline is an infectious disease. The failure of intensive study to reveal organisms, bac- "I Just Got The Feeling I Forgot Some Christmas Seals" TARGET FOR CHRISTMAS: TUBERCULOSIS! Health is a priceless possession for an individual.

USC JOURNALISM STUDENT TOURS GAZETTE FRIDAY Miss Elaine Polizzi, journalism student at the University of Southern California, was conducted on a tour of the Anaheim Gazette office and print shop by Ted Kuchal, editor and publisher with his mother, Mrs. Henry Kuchel, last Friday morning. A resume of her visit will be the basis of a term paper including business, editorial and advertising policles, job printing and news coverage of the Gazette. "Down goes the good old American dollar another peg," said a clerk in a downtown store. "All along I've been eating doughnuts and coffee for breakfast to save a few cents. Income tax, social security and a thousand other "hidden taxes" prevent me from squandering my hard-earned cash on ham and eggs in the morning. I don't know whether to sell my old rattletrap or cut out the doughnuts!" The brighter side of metered parking was offered by an accountant. "The main reason for metered parking is to keep certain areas in the business section open for shoppers. When a person can find space available in front of the shop he wishes to enter, it is easily worth a nickle to him. The process of driving around the block ten times before a space opens up is too hard on the nerves." Visitor's statement: "I'm in this place 12 minutes, minding my own business and the city charges me a penny. To who do we owe this idea—Kilroy?" GROWING PAINS "Parking meters are the first signs of honest-to-goodness growing pains," declared a local housewife. "Anaheim is finally modernizing itself." One youngster cried for half an hour because he thought his father had broken down and was buying chewing gum for him. Slightly tipsy, one old fellow inserted his nickel, got "60" and stood by for the jackpot. The canine population barks complete approval. Tuberculosis kills seven times as many unskilled workers as professional people, three times as many skilled workers as professional people. Farmers Gather At 'Frisco To Decide Problems The scientific, economic and legislative problems of the nation's farmers are under discussion at San Francisco this week, where delegates to the 28th annual convention of the American Farm Bureau Federation began their civic deliberations in the Civic auditorium last Monday, December 9. More than 10,000 farm men and women from 46 states are attending the five-day session, according to estimates, which also includes the 12th annual convention of the Associated Women of the American Farm Bureau Federation, which is a nation-wide affiliate. Twelve special conferences featured Monday's session. Key speakers heard, or to be heard by next Saturday, include Gov. Earl Warren; Dr. Auerelia Henry Reinhardt former president of Mills college; Willard L. Thorpe, assistant secretary of state; Congressman Clifford R. Hope, Kansas; United States Senator Richard B. Russell, Georgia; N. E. Dodd, under-secretary of agriculture; J. Melville Broughton, former governor of North Carolina; and Edward A. O'Neal, president of the American Farm Bureau Federation. Officials declared that during the convention plans will be formulated to point the organization toward the 2,000,000 membership mark. The Farm Bureau, currently representing 1,250,000 farm families, is the largest farm organization in the United States. It comprises 46 state federations and more than 3,500 county Farm Bureau. Highlighting the entertainment features of the convention were a barbecue and rodeo Wednesday evening, December 11; in the "Cow Palace" at South San Francisco. Attending the conference from Orange county are Mr. and Mrs. S. W. Stanley, Tustin; C. J. Marks, Mr. and Mrs. H. E. Wahlberg, Santa Ana; J. W. Crill, Garden Grove; Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Chas. Armstrong, Orange; Mr. and Mrs. Alex Pelous, all of Buena Park; and Jos. A. and Mary Lieb of Anaheim. Local Boy Wins Livestock Award Singular honors went to an Anaheim boy, Gabriel Patin, at the Great Western Livestock Show at Los Angeles recently when he was presented a plaque and a $25 war bond by F.

The award was made for having the best livestock exhibit featuring showmanship in the Future Farmer division south of Tehachapi. means of chest X-rays. If every adult had periodic chest X-rays every new case of the disease would be found early, before the individual had lost his own health and before he had spread the disease to others. Because of the danger which tuberculosis presents to the individual and to the community, an organization was formed here thirty-eight years ago to spread information about the disease and how it can be controlled. The Orange County Tuberculosis and Health association does not build hospitals. That is the functions of government. It does not hand out relief to the victims of tuberculosis. If that becomes necessary, it is the function of community agencies established for the purpose of granting relief to needy residents. The tasks of the association are to find cases of tuberculosis find them in that early, most easily curable stage; to disseminate information about the nature of the disease and what steps can be taken to prevent its spread; to demonstrate the need for establishing and maintaining adequate facilities for the detection of tuberculosis and for caring for its victims. Such tasks may be undramatic. But they are necessary. If tuberculosis is to be brought under complete control in our community, the work of this voluntary association must be continued. It will be continued if all the people of the community buy and use Christmas Seals, sole support of the Orange County Tuberculosis and Health association. EPISCOPAL TEACHERS OF COUNTY TO MEET The Orange County Episcopal Church School Teachers' Institute will be held at the Church of the Messiah, Santa Ana, next Tuesday evening at 6:30 o'clock. The meeting will be preceded by dinner. Special speakers include Rev. Kenneth Mann, director of youth worth in the Diocese and Miss Margaret Brown, director of Christian education.
