The Los Angeles County Worlds

Teale, Vawter, Klokke, Lukens. Coffman
and Dunham. The minutes OF the last
meeting were read and adopted.
The standing committee Of citrus
trees, and fruit trees generally, reported

up that it would do to remove this late
in the season.
The committee on dried and canned
fruit and packages for the same reported
that Los Angeles county's portion Of the
display jars were at the disposal of the
committee.
The matter of display jars for domestic
canning was brought up, and the COM
mittee reported that they were unable
to find other than the Mason or Light
ming jars, the patterns of which were un-
suitable for display purposes.
The only jars to be had Immediately
were the inverted bottle cereal jars
which San Diego had adopted for their
use. As the time is drawing nigh for
the canning of apricots, the committee
was instructed to order an invoice of
this jar Immediately.
The cereal committee reported favor
able progress. The Los Nietos valley
reported through Mr.. Coffman that they
would take special pains to select the
tallest corn stalks to be found, and look
after big pumpkins and melons. Mr..
Teale and Mr.. Forester reported that
they had both secured fine specimens of
growing grain, and had promises of
samples of grain as soon as threshed.
Mr.. Klokke reported that the honey in
terest in this county had done little or
nothing toward making display in this
line. He referred to the circulars Just
received from Chief Buchanan, in which

entries either for this crop or the crop
OF '93. The latter would be received be-
tween the 18th OF July and the 10Th OF
August, 1893.
The committee on mines and mining
made no report other than the state
ment made by Mr.. Wells, that the state
commission would furnish cases.

ported that the rate on exhibits to the
worlds fair had been established at one
half rate each way. Ut;

jar, to be used in the general display,
and also offered to I'll two dozen large
display jars with euch fruits as they
deemed suitable for such purposes.

general application for space they had
filed in behalf OF Los Angeles county for
1000 square feet in the agricultural build

department, and 200 square feet in the
