FARMERS MEET.
THE PROCEEDINGS AT YEsTER-
DAYS INSTITUTE.
The Importance of the Association-C.
Thompson of Pasadena on Fruit Pro-
duction and Markst-Professo sor Will
sons Papsr-Today's Programme.

As per previous announcement the
Farmers institute met in the rooms of
the chamber of commerce yesterday
afternoon at l 80 O'Clock, President 7.
]. Luccock in the chair, and Prof. E. j.
Wickson to open the meeting. In his
opening remarks Professor Wickson
spoke of the great necessity of these
farmers meeting to the state, and cited
the great good which they have accom-
plished in many OF the eastern states,
notably Wisconsin. The institute is
now recognized factor in twenty-six
states and territories, and is rapidly be-
coming force in the education of all re-
siding in rural localities and engaged in
tilling the soil.
The fret paper read and discussed
was by G. g. Thompson OF Pasadena,
who spoke upon Fruit Production and a
Market, calling particular attention to
the fact that the price received by the
grower and that paid by the consumer
were altogether out of proportion, and
that the rapidly growing fruit industry
of Southern California, in order to afford
a profitable outlet for its product, must
devise ways and means for finding q
larger and more remunerative market.
The discussion brought out several in
structive points; some of the speakers
advocating the building of canne1ies and
driers in the different localities upon
the co-operativesplan Others contended
that the establishment of agencies in
the east that would sell direct to the
consumer would do much towards les
sening the margins that are now en-
joyed by the middlemen and jobbers.
There was some talk as to the protec-
ton of fruit trees from rabbits, from the
effects of sunburn, and from damage
done by wind, especially the sandstorm.
The session was closed by very read
able essay from Professor Wickson on
"What Horticulture Has Done for Cali
fornia," the speaker treating his subject
in philosophical and statesmanlike
manner, giving short resume of the
industry in this state for the past twenty
years, showing the increase of produc-
ton, the increase of shipments to the
east, the increase of the assessed valua-
tion of orchard and vineyard land for
that period, and many other points that
were not only interesting, but instruc-
tive and suggestive.
A committee of five was appointed to
draft constitution and bylaws, and a
plan for permanent organization for an
institute in this county, which is to re-
port this afternoon at the conclusion of
the meeting.
Professor Hilgard will this afternoon
deliver his lecture on "Soils and Fertil-
izers," and it is urgently desired that
every grower who can will make it q
point to be present. Professor Hilgard
ie probably the foremost authority on
this subject west of the Rocky mount
aims, and anything that he may say will
not only be interesting but instructive,
and Of great value to all engaged in the
profession of horticulture. Besides this,
there will be other subjects discussed,
and permanent officers elected.

Four years ago Stewart s. McDougall
welded pretty California girl in San
Francisco. McDougall was very wealthy
and met his wife while on a tour of the
world. The McDougalls went on hon
eymoon tour to New York. He bought
diamonds and jewels for his young wife,
and her every wish was gratified, yet
one morning she mysteriously disap-
peared. This was about month after
the wedding day. No trace of Mrs. Nc
Dougall could be found. She did not
leave q letter nor even line. AS far as
known she did not know anyone in New
York city, consequently the theory that
che had eloped with somebody she loved
better than her husband was not seri-
ously considered. The husband made q
gallant effort to find his wife, but
without success, although he spent
thousands of dollars on hiring detect
ives and following up clues. After six
months work McDougall gave up the
search and went to Europe.
If he had come to Los Angeles he
would probably have found his runaway
wife, as she was known to be here about
three years ago and is here now, as has
just been ascertained.
Some two or three weeks since Nc
Dougall, who during all this time has
not applied for a divorce, came to
Southern California in the expectation
of buying an orange grove. While out
driving on San Pedro street one after
noon he noticed two girls driving be-
hind fast PAGER. One of them resem-
that he followed them. He was was
chagrined to discover that they both
went to a house of ill-fame on
Alameda street. He visited the house
that night and discovered that one of
the inmates was his wife, who haG de-
serted him on their honeymoon tour.
The woman Is known in Los Angeles as
Florence Fairfield. She came here
something over three years ago, but dis
appeared very suddenly, and came back
about two or three months since. Her
family, who are very wealthy, live in
the northern part of the state. Florence
Fairfield is an adventures, and has had
numerous escapades since her wedding
was the wife of Stewart McDougall.
Several seasons since she queened it at
the Coronado for a couple of weeks at
the expense of travelling man for a
large firm.
The meeting between McDougall and
his wife was not pleasant one. He
tried to induce her to leave the life she
was leading. but without avail. In fact,
it was miracle that the interview did
not end in tragedy. Several Of her as
sociates rushed to her assistance and got
her out of the way OF the angry and
crestfallen husband. That is how the
matter leaked out. McDougall left sew
eral days ago for Chicago and vows that
he will never again put his foot in Cali
fornia.

is nothing for us. The other day q
local bank was offered $15. 900 loan on
frst-class security, and sought co-opera-
tion in the premises from San Fran
cisco banking concern that claims a sur
plus of over q million, aeking them to
take half the loan. The answer came
back, "Too far away"
This is game at which two can play.
On our last visit to Los Angeles we spent
an hour or two in examining the shops
in that city and found everything 80
much cheaper there than in San Fran
cisco, that we have no hesitation in ad-
vising our business men to purchase
their goods in Los Angeles, which is less
than 200 miles from US, while San Fran
cisco is over 300 miles away. The truth
is that San Francisco is just little ''too
far awav.'
Let US put this into practice for
awhile. If one of our banks gets q
chance at bigger loan than it cares to
carry by itself, let it call for assistance
upon some kindred association in Los
Angeles and see if they say ''Too far
away" when it is gilt-edged loan at
per cent per annum. Let US see if the
dealers in dry goods, groceries, clothing,
household furniture and farming ma
chinery, in the City of the Angels, will
say that Bakersfield is "Too far away"
when our retailers go down there and
ask for sixty days. credit on merchan-
disc, with which to replace their stock.
We do not apprehend any difficulty Of
the kind.
The truth is that "the Lord helps
those who help Themselves" If bust
ness men do business on slack methods
and allow themselves to get 80 deeply in
debt that their creditors have to carry
them from one year to another, then
they must expect to pay for their goods
such prices as those creditors may die
tate. But the shrewd, thrifty and fore
banded business man is not to be caught
in that way. He generally keeps his
credit account 60 materially reduced and
his interest account 60 small that he is
free and footloose to buy where and of
whom suits him best. And to that class
OF business men we commend careful
investigation of the wholesale houses in
Los Angeles. There are at least some
kinds of goods for sale in that city whose
prices border upon revelation. .-[Kern
