a Plcturs Of Lincoln spring.

"A beautiful spring situated in La Rue county
kentucky, the birthplace of Abraham Lincoln. A
isited in August 1889
A narrow road, where grass grows tall,
Lies curved adown a hill,
Where nature holds high carnival,
Untrammeled by mans will.
But at its foot beauteous scene
Lies spread before the view
Aspiring set in valley green
monument unehanging, true.
And the wild grandeur round 1t thrown
No pen can fully paint
It's walled about with massive stone,
By nature carved with figures quaint.
Huge trees stand round like sentinels,
Their leaves by south winds stirred.
And from their midst, as elear-toned bells,
Come the sweet songs OF mocking bird.
The cool drops trickle down slide
Into the pool below,
And wake soft echoes on each side -
With fairy music they flow.
Peeping from Ger far hill top Ni.
The western sun sants down,
And paints rainbow on each drop,
A benediction and a crown.
o, spring of beauties, long may peace
And pleasant mem'ries round thee twina
And long may thy pure waters flow
Through shadow and through shine.

from here t, the spreckels refineries

from here ID the Spreckels refneries
at Watsonville. From all the seventy
DE ckages OF seed sent out, only three re-
turns have been made, and the
samples forwarded from these three
grangers were 80 badly cared for while
growing, or had been grown in soil 80
unsuited to them that only four per cent
of sugar was extracted from them. The
rest OF the seventy are delinquent to a
total degree; and in such cases as it has
been possible to get word from the peo-
pie to whom the seed was sent, the ex-
cuse made is that the seed was planted
with other boets, and they lost sight OF
those grown from the Spreckels seed,
and the beets were fed to the COWS like
the others. Now, this is decidedly dis
coursging. California is refining SILL
100000 worth of sugar year. The
raw material is nearly all being brought
in from abroad. The State is capable OF
producing ten, yes twenty, fifty times
this amount. California is capable of
producing all the sugar consumed in the
whole Union. Los Angeles has more
land thoroughly adapted to beet sugar
production than any other two counties
in the State. A large amount OF capital
is to be invested in the beet sugar busi-
ness in this State next year. Farmers
make in some instances more than 5000
an acre by the raising Of sugar beets. Los
Angeles county ought to have in time
half dozen extracting factories, and Los
Angeles City ought to have a large
refinery. These will not be secured by
such slipshod methods.

ARE THERE TWO EVILSs
What Fruit Men think of the Scale
Pests and the Inspectors.


There is serious clash between the
scale pests inspectors and the fruit men
in some parts of the county. Some
weeks ago, when the Horticultural
Society held meeting in this city, q
HERALD reporter, who was present, held
long interview with these gentlemen
on the desirability of cleansing the trees
of the red scale before introducing the
lady bug to destroy the white scale. The
idea advanced by the Horticultural
Society was that if the Australian bug is
introduced to destroy the cottony cushion
pest, he will not touch the red scale, and
that when the latter is attacked the bug
destroyer will be destroyed by the sprays
and washes. The plan proposed was
to destroy the red scale first
by cutting back the trees, by sprays and
washes, and then to introduce the
vedolia cardinals and let him make an
end to the white scale. The thought is
obvious, of course, that by vigorous
treatment, the same method that would
get rid of the red scale would take the
white along. But that is not the point
to be made here. Now come the fruit
growers and tell their side of the story.
They say they have secured colonies OF
the vedolia; that the little bug is multi.
plying at great rate +; that he is cleaning
out the white scale 30 that, in a short
time, there will be no more of this pest
left if the ladybug is allowed to
do his work. Now, the inspectors
appear on the scene and order the fruit
man to 60 to work and spray and wash
his trees for the red scale. The fruit
men say this will destroy the vedolia,
and thus arrest the destruction OF the
white scale. The grangers say, more
over, that there is no spray nor wash
that will exterminate the red scale, but
they claim there is native bug that is
destroying the red pest. In some cases
the fruit men complain that they bring
in lemons to the stores in Los Angeles
which have been sweated and thorough
ly cured; that this process de-
stroys all insect life on the fruit;
but that this fruit is quarantined
in this city at the command of inspec-
tors, and that their revenue is destroyed
for no good purpose. Some of these
growers allege that some of these inspec-
tors are Indirectly and surreptitiously in.
terested in useless washes and sprays,
that kill the trees but do not kill the
bugs, and that all this turmoil is simply
for the purpose of selling the washes or
lotions. These are serious charges, and
the situation is not good one.
