GOPHERS KILL 5000 TREES EVERY YEAR At least 5000 citrus trees in Orange co are killed annually by the gophers. If the trees were not worth more than $25 bich and they are worth a good deal more, the monetary loss would be $125,000. This is according to county horticultural commissioner Earl L. Morris. He says there are approximately 50,000 acres of citrus orchards in Orange county and that at least one tree in every ten acres is killed yearly by gophers. "Eternal vigilance is the only possible safeguard against this enormous loss," said Morris today. "The gopher board bills are a dead loss to orange and lemon growers and it is imperative that something be done to eradicate this pest." Trapping and poisoning are the two best means to this end, according to Morris. Hundreds of the gophers are exterminated yearly by these two methods, but still they multiply. There is a large quantity of poison and poisoned bait in the county horticultural commissioner's office in the basement of the courthouse. This poison is prepared in accordance with directions from the U.S. department of agriculture for the particular purpose of killing gophers and squirrels. Morris says that this poison should be spread over the gopher mounds while the orchardist is working his tract. Every mound should be treated, Morris says. To neglect a single one only affords the gopher family an opportunity to expand its activities. There was about $2000 worth of strychnine in the commissioner's office last week. Much of this has been distributed. MILLIONS OF ACRES UNUSED IN MEXICO Tens of millions of acres of land in Mexico lie today in the condition they Every mound should be treated, Morris says.

MILLIONS OF ACRES UNUSED IN MEXICO Tens of millions of acres of land in Mexico lie today in the condition they were in 1500 years ago so far as development is concerned, according to A. M. McDermott, in an address before the Santa Ana Klwants club on the Mexican constitution. The Obregon Amendment is offering every inducement for foreigners to invest there and assist in developing the country he stated. That McDermott has given the laws of Mexico deep windy was evidenced by the manner in which he told briefly various provisions in the constitution: He declared that there as a general misconception on the part of Americans as to the provisions for foreigners acquiring lands there. The constitution prohibits ownership of lands by foreigners, except that foreigners may secure permission to buy under condition that they renounce their foreign citizenship so far as the property owned is concerned. A foreigner does not necessarily have to renounce allegiance to his native country. He renounces allegiance only so far as the piece of ground owned is concerned and there merely is renunciation of possible damage claims. Explaining the condition which has brought about suspension of exportation of oil from that country by American companies McDermott said that the government had withdrawn all taxes on mining products because of the slump in the value of ores and had increased the export tax on oil because it is a commodity of production there that is in demand and is moving.
