Cliffs arise 1,800 feet on three sides and in front there is a similar precipice drop to a ravine below. "We are sleeping on the earth like pigs. "We resemble a band of whiskered tramps. The bandits are carrying their supplies still farther up the mountain and threaten again to move us to the top.

MAN REPORT OF INTERNATIONAL NEWS SERVICE—FIRST LEASED WIRE IN THE ORANGE COUNTY LEADING NEWSPAPER OF NORTHERN ORANGE COUNTY Anaheim, Calif., Thursday, May 24, 1923 FUMIGATION IS HEAVY EXPENSE (By A. A. Brock) (Horticultural Commissioner Orange County) The citrus growers of this county are put to a large expense annually in order to reduce the damage caused to their groves by the various scale pests which attack them. We have just completed a recapitulation of last year's control work and while we have about forty-five thousand acres of citrus in this county, we find that it costs annually between five and six hundred thousand dollars for fumigation operations. The annual cost was somewhat reduced last year by the aid of Aphyeas and Rhizobius and other natural enemies of the black scale. Another factor which helped to reduce the annual cost of fumigation was the fact that a good many growers resorted to spraying instead of fumigation and in most instances to their sorrow. In this county we had licensed about one hundred nineteen operators and foremen to fumigate. 1,814,320 trees were fumigated in the county last year. 390,610.26 pounds of gas were used. Most of the work was carried on by the modern method of applying liquid gas under the tents, with an atomizer. There was, however, some work done in great POLITICIAN'S WIFE SAILS FOR PARIS TO GET DIVORCE INSTITUTE TO STUDY COST OF CITRUS Practical talks by practical speakers for practical farmers is the keynote of the special program outlined for the Annual Southern California Citrus Institute to be held at Fullerton June 15 and 16. The ever increasing cost of producing citrus fruits will be a subject of particular interest this year, and stress will be laid on methods of cutting costs in the orchard. Increasing the efficiency of acre production, and building up the individual tree production will be the basis of cheaper unit cost which is the boxing of fruit. The grower is gradually beginning to realize that closer attention must be given the individual tree that makes up his acreage than to merely look upon his grove as a whole from a production standpoint. Drone trees must be examined and studied and treated according to the causes of its non-bearing—it may be disease or lack of fertilizer, poor stock or something else. The vital subject of cultivation will be featured. Are we cultivating too much? Prof. F. J. Vehmeyer, Soils specialist from the University farm will discuss the fundamentals Another fator which helped to reduce the annual cost of fumigation was the fact that a good many growers resorted to spraying instead of fumigation and in most instances to their sorrow. In this county we had licensed about one hundred nineteen operators and foremen to fumigate. I $14,-920 trees were fumigated in the county last year. 390,610.26 pounds of gas were used. Most of the work was carried on by the modern method of applying liquid gas under the tents with an atomizer. There was, however, some work done in one or two districts of the county with a cyanofumer. From our records, we find that it costs on an average of thirty-five cents a tree to fumigate. This information is derived from the data collected by this office by having a report turned into us showing the actual cost of every job and we believe it to be as nearly accurate as any data of its kind ever collected. There were a good many groves which were allowed to go without fumigation last fall where the black scale alone was the major pest, a number of which are commercially clean at the present time. However, in some of the groves where a considerable proportion of the scale were small late in the season, it was impossible for the Aphycus to attack them during the warm weather when they were increasing at the maximum and in these groves we find the infestation of scale quite severe. We feel that due to the work of the secondaries that the Aphycus will be unable to accomplish as good results this year as they did last year, therefore we trust that every grower will be ready to fumigate when the scale is vulnerable and we believe there will be more fumigation this year and consequently Orange County's fumigation bill for the coming season will be higher than it was last season. While it costs a great deal of money to destroy the scale insects in citrus orchards, it is imperative that this procedure be attended to at the proper time or the inevitable results will be fare more disastrous to bbth the trees and also to the growers' pocketbooks, than the almost prohibitive cost of fumigation.
