INoU1R1Ne AS TO DUB CAPACITY.

Recently DIR. Max Scoring. Teacher of
Political Economy in the University of
Bonn, has been visiting this State, and we
believe is still upon this coast, upon mis-
sion foE winch he is accredited by the EN-
peror of Germany. The purpose of his
visit is to ascertain the capacity of Amer
lea 10 produce meat and breadstuffs for
Europe. If she can do so, and deliver
the same in Europe to advantage, it will be
useless for Germany to continue in agri-
culture, and other industries must com.
mand the attention of her people. Prof.
Scoring is gentleman of cultured intelli-
gence and keen observant powers. He is
not willing to trust to cold statistics,
but goes into the leading sections of the
United States and the Canadas to see for
himself, to ascertain facts at the fountain
heads, and that he may observe conditions
and examine witnesses. In California he
confessed that he was not only surprised,
but quite amazed at the capacity of the
soil, and astonished at the proof of the fact
that the State produces now one.sixth of
all the wheat exported from the United
States. He will go back to Germany with
full notes of inquiry and response repre-.
senting the best intelligence in this State
on all topics relating to soil production,
stock.raising, etc., and incidentally will be
well informed upon all industrial topics
relating in any way to California. He
leaves the State to make leisurely trip
along the line of the Northern Pacific
Railroad, and thence to Winnipeg, and
will examine quite thoroughly into the food
resources of Oregon, the northern Terri.
tories and of British Columbia. He came
to the coast with his credentials Endorsed
by George B. Loring. United States Com
missioner of Agriculture. In this State he
was given letters of introduction to large
number of prominent agriculturists, well.

IRRIGATION ENTERPRISE.

Among, the enterprises being inaugurated
in California that look to the speedy and
permanent settling up of the country is
one especially worthy of notice 1t is
projected by c. B. Pool and A. T. Stub
bletield. Their plans provide fol taking
out sufficient of the waters of Stony creek
by canal, about one and a half miles west
of Orlar d, to irrigate some thirty thousand
acres of land. The canal will run along
lines through three townships. The lands
to be thus watered are of the class that,
under right conditions, are not surpassed
for productive capacity. The scheme sug-
gests the idea that the great irrigation
problem in California may, after all, be
solved by associated capital. The conflicts
between the locators and riparian owners
are such that, except by private enterprise,
it is doubtful if the State can, in the next
decade, settle upon any uniform system of
irrigation. OF course, the conflicts regard
ing water rights and the use of water are
not wholly eliminated by private vent
ure and the investment of large sums in
irrIgating, but they are reduced to their
minimum, inasmuch as capital takes the
least possible risk always, and invests with
view to the smallest amount of friction
and resistance in reaping profit.

TEE ENgMY To WaEAT.

Considerable alarm has been manifest
concerning a supposed new enemy to grow
ing grain that has appeared in several
counties, but chiefly in valleys near to
Underwater. 1t is said that the pest has
appeared in Salinas and Santa Clara val
leys, in Alameda, in Pajaro valley, in San
Mateo, and latterly in Butte, and that it
attacks wheat mostly, but does not sickle
at any other green growth, even mustard
and the wild turnip being infested. It has
been suggested by the San Francisco Post
that the accounts of the ravages of the
pest may be exaggerated in the
interest of grain rings, and the advice
is given farmers not to abandon their crops.
We have reason to believe that the stories
concerning the pest are true, and that the
insect is proving very serious threat in
several sections of the country. A specimen
of the insect enemy has been sent to this
Office from Butte county, where it is found
upon certain trees, and one kind upon grow
ing wheat also. In another column an inter.
esting report is given of an interview with
an entomologist, held with the object of
eliciting his opinion regarding the pest.
The specimen examined and which is the
same, evidently, alarming the coast farm
ers, proves to be the plant louise, the dphis
auene. 1t is of the genus aphis, of the
family aphid@. Nearly every plant has
its aphis; there is one for the rose, one for
the pear, one for wheat, etc. Regarding
the green beetle, which, it is said, Prof.
Norton alleges will destroy this pest there
is Misrepresentation. The enemies of
the insect are varied and many. The
four. winged flies, the chrysopa, are
among the chief, and when numer-
GUS they are formidable foes to the in
sect pest-but they do not always appear
in sufficient numbers. One virgin aphis
will, in a single season, produce a
quintillion OF her kind. The male aphis
does not appear until early in autumn,
when impregnation of the female takes
place. If the stubble is then burned
thoroughly as soon as the grain is off the
males will be destroyed and the
propagation of the insect will cease, for
there will be no eggs the following year.
This is, say entomologists, the only prac-
teal remedy for the aphis when it appears
in grain. Its appearance is not to be taken
as indicating a total destruction of the
crop, but it does signify serious injury to
it if the lice are noticed to be particularly
numerous. Were it possible to drench the
grain with one or more liquid preparations
the ravages of the pest might be stayed,
but it is obvious that remedies like this,
applicable to trees and shrubs, are imprac-
ticable in a grain field.

of the exposition, it is asked Of each
county to contribute 500 toward the fit
ting up of the cases and sections to be set
apart for each county. There should be
no delay whatever in raising these sums
in the counties and in forwarding them
promptly to Lloyd Tevis. Treasurer
of the Exposition Committee, at San
Francisco. The exposition is to be free, and
the aim of the committees in charge is to
make it as thoroughly representative as is
possible. The details of how this is to be
accomplished it is not necessary to set
forth, but through the Mining Bureau
and by personal effort there should
be no great difficulty experienced in secur-
ing ample exhibits. II the project is to be
carried out it must be done in manner
COMFORTING with the dignity and impor-
lance of this State. In August we shall
have with us an unusually large body of
citizens from all parts of the Union, and
they will come here in critical mood. 1t
is, then, important that there be general
and generous aid in furtherance of the
proposed exposition, and that every effort
shall be made to collect and forward ex-
hibits of minerals. 1t is suggested that
many relics, fossils, etc., will be sent in
that are too large for cases, but the COM
mittee promise thai space near the county
cases shall be reserved for all such. There
is no reason why the proposed exposition
should not be entirely successful, and
prove one of the most notable features to
which it is proposed to invite the attention
of the expected crowd of visitors next

-HE PROPOSED MIsER.L EXPOSITION

The proposition to hold Mineral Expo.
sition in San Francisco next August is
meeting with much encouragement, as it
should. It is somewhat remarkable that
the greatest gold-producing country in the
world, and one SO rich in many leading
mineral deposits, should have passed
through thirty years of its existence and
not have before this projected such an ex-
position. OF course the display will not
be confined to exhibits from California it
is intended TO embrace the mineral pro-
ducts of the Pacific coast. 1t is desired
and deemed necessary that each county in
California should have its exhibits set
apart in distinctly indicated cases. To
this end, while the citizens of San Fran

AN EAGLE BATTLE.-The Chico Record
OF the 24th instant has the following ae.
count OF an eagle fight The woods in the
river bottom on the Reavis ranch are full of
eagles, and many fine specimens of this
olrd have been killed there, and several of
them are now on exhibition at different
places in this city. This morning a man
was telling on the streets of a terrific bat
tie ne witnessed between two eagles yester
day on the Reavis place. The birds had
come together in the air above the tree
tops, and one was trying to get hold of a
jack rabbit the other held its claws. They
would tiy at each other with tremendous
force, screeching and scratching like wild
cats. The air was filled with flying feath.

the spectator, who sat on fence watching
It, Finally the eagle with the rabbit
dropped hia prey and pitched in for all he
was worth. He soon knocked his foe out
in the second round, and then swooping to
the earth ne took hold of his rabbit and
sailed away to the top of an old oak tree.
The dead eagle fell to the ground, and was
picked MP by the young man who saw the
fight. he brought the bird, one of the
golden species, to town, and it will be
stuffed and mounted.
