He has held 17o ;nquests. OF these

The Scale.Bug Defied j..

The editor of the Monrovia Messeaqer
has been inspecting the Duarte Orange
groves. He finds that the orchards of
that place will yield one hund red car
loads, or $4,000 boxes of fruit this year.
He gives details on which he forms his
estimates. On the Bradbury place there
are three acres of oranges which will
yield 500 boxes. These are probably
budded fruit worth So to $4 per box.
Mrs. Wilson has five acres of fve-year-
old trees which will produce $50 boxes.
These are also budded trees, and are not
in half bearing. Thomas Glenny has
five acres of seven-year-old trees which
will yield 800 boxes. These are also
of the budded varieties. At So
per box his five acres brings him
in 81, 400. In two years more the crop
will be nearly fully twice as large as the
present one. DIR. Buttolph has fifteen
acres Of trees six to twelve years old.
He will have 1000 boxes worth $4,000.
The Messrs. Baldwin, Savage and Smith
have fifteen acres of trees eight to four
teen years old. They seem to have poor
crop as they are set down for only 1,5OO
boxes. On another ranch Mr.. Bradbury
has fifteen acres of young trees which
promise 800 boxes. That is box to
a tree. Mrs. Crane has five acres OF
fve-y -year-old trees from which she will
get 500 boxes. 1t must not be forgotten
that these trees will increase in fruit
fulness until they are twelve years old.
Good budded trees, we'll cared for in
their mature stage, are sure to yield at

There is one point about our climate
which the unobservant might not see. 1t
is this Read carefully the tables of rela-
tive humidity just above. The high fig
ures will all be found of course in the
early morning hours and in the latter
part of the afternoon, increasing as night
comes on. Now if the table OF daily
temperature for the same hours OF the
day were given, it would appear that the
high degrees Of heat always occur here
at such hours as are marked by very
low degree of humidity. The humidity
in the table at 7 A. NJ. ranges at 70 to 50
degrees, but at that hour in our Warmest
,spells the thermometer will run at 60 to
70 degrees. At 3 P. NJ. the humidity
ranges along at from 81 to SO degrees, an
hour when the temperature is higher.
The hottest period of the day in this Sec
ton is between 10 and II O'Clock in the
morning; and these hours are the dryest
in the day. This is fact which means
much in any estimate OF the agreeable
ness of the climate.
So accustomed are the people of this
section to fine weather that slight de-
gree of discomfort from this source dis
gusts them. The middle Of August last
was characterized by few days cf high
temperature. This IS the way the
HERALD spoke in it's editorial columns
of that episode:
Old Sol got in his work in fine shape
on us yesterday. The maximum fig
ure ran up to 81 degrees Fahrenheit.
The current summer will propably
chronicle larger number of hot days
than any other in the past ten years
in this section. But, much as we suf-
fer from such visitation, how blessed
our lot as compared with the sun
stricken anu sweltering Esst! While
Tor an hour or SO the mercury
climbs to 80 degrees and even to
95 degrees, or as yesterday, to the
extreme of S.. degrees, yet during
the earlier hours of the morn
ing temperature ranges only along in
the sixties. By 5 O'Clock in the
afternoon it gets back to the same en-
tirely endurable degree; later it falls
to 60 degrees, if not, indeed, to lower
point. The cool nights are most pro-
vocative of sound sleep, and We all
awake in the morning, refreshed and
reinvigorated for the days toll. In st.
Louis, for example, the mercury has.

THE FINEST ON THE EARTH


That superb publication, the ILLUS
TRATED HERALD for 1888, gives among
other statistical matter, the complete
records of the Signal Service Office in this
city for ten full years, SO far as these re-
late to temperature; clear, fair and
cloudy daye; precipitation; duration of
the rainy season, ETC., etc. A resume of
this cannot fail to prove of prime interest
to readers of the HERALD in all parts Of
the country. The averages in tempera-
ture for the ten years for each month is
as follows:
Los Angeles daily herald., 1889-01-01

The average of cloudy days for the 10
years is only 40 per year. The average
number of rainy days in that period is
only Al per year for II months,
and the record includes all
days on which one hundredth
part OF an inch OF rain
fell. Think of it In ten years the
mercury reached 80 degrees only 159
times, and fell to 80 degrees on only six
occasions. In the same period the
cloudy days averaged only forty-nine
per annum, and the days when any rain
fell came to only the beggerly account Of
an average of forty-one per year.
Here is the average total precipitation
ner month for the decade.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1889-01-01

The total average per annum for the
ten years is II As. Note that the rain all
falls in the months between November
and April inclusive.
Another fine point about our climate is
the dryness of the atmosphere during the
greater portion of the year. During the
warm period of the year the average
humidity is very low. For the past year
by months the record runs as follows:
Los Angeles daily herald., 1889-01-01

The meaning of the table is that the
H column gives the average highest ther-
mometer for the ten years; the L col
umn the average lowest degree, and the
M column the mean temperature.
In the period covered for each year the
number of days when the mercury went
above 80 degrees and below 80 degrees
was as follows:
