conditions under which it thrives are
not the conditions under which the ordi-
nary clovers are profitable.
If you have clay sub-soil, or there be
/ a stratum of rock, coarse gravel or gumbo
between the surface and the permanent
water, do not SOW alfalfa.
If, on the other hand, you have scant
rainfall and there is from 10 to 20 feet of
loose, porous soil between the surface of
the land and permanent water, sow
alfalfa whether you can irrigate it or
not.
If you have 10 or 20 fest Of desert soil,
with water-beaying sands underneath
snd can irrigate for the first three or
four years, do not hesitate to SOW alfalfa.
1t will prove gold mine under these
conditions.
We make these statements because 30
many letters have reached us regarding
the propriety of sowing alfalfa that we
have studied the conditions thoroughly,
and the above are our conclusions, in
which we are sustained by alfalfa grow

A. 0. OF F. OF AMERICA,

Saturday, the 18th, was a red-letter
day in American Forestry in this city
and county. Their annual picnicf falling
on the day of the visit of the vice-presi-
dent of the United States to our sister
city by the sea, and our outing at the
same place, dates an epoch in our his
tory.
Los Angeles circle No. 151, o. of F.'s
usual weekly meeting took place on
Wednesday evening. The hall was
crowded to it's full capacity with mem
bers and visitors, one and all anxious to
do honor to the newly installed officers.
The universal verdict was that the en-
tire corps had been wisely chosen, and are
capable of keeping up the high average
and good work of their predecessors.
The G. O., Mrs. w. A. White, was i'm
mense, and proved conclusively to'all
present that she took the chair without
| fear or favor, and to the best of her
ability proposed to discharge the duties
OF her high Office.
Each officer deserves special mention,
but lack of space iorbids. However,
this notice would be incomplete without
specifically mentioning Miss Jolls, the
K. G. Her voice is clear and her enun-
ciation is perfect. A bright future
awaits this young lady in Forestry.
The writer regrets the error in last
Sunday notes. In mentioning the
eecretaries' names among the many
good things" our worthy recording
secretary's was left out. There is not q
member of the circle that does not ap-
preciate Miss Lewis, and the fact is
demonstrated by her occupancy of the
secretary's chail since the circle was
instituted.

to dispense hospitality and social cour-
tesies. Deputy Mrs. Merry was also
present.

San Diego Union: w. r. Gupnis. hor-
ticultural commissioner for the district
embracing the bay region, has after
arduous labor completed all arrange.
mentH for making war on the fruit pests,
and has pretty we'll demonstrated that
scale can effectuslIy be destroyed. AS
sisted by J. B. Johnson. an expert fuml-
gator whose services he was fortunate
enough In securing, he has been expe-
rimehting with the cyanide process for
destroying scale, and has in every in
stance met with unqualified success, al
though. .st first met with the remark on
all sides that the various varieties OF
scale could not effectually be wiped out.
A few days ago an orange tree In Bryant
Howard's yard at Tenth and b streets,
which was literally covered with black
and brown scale, was treated by Mr..
Gunnis and his associates, with the re-
suit that not single living insect go
far as could be seen with a microscope,
remained. Last night seven more trees
at the same place we're subjected to the
cyanide process and the result is ex-
pected to be as gratifying as IN the first
instance.
The trees were covered with large
tents, which were put over the tops OF
trees by means of poles and drawn close
to the ground. Under the canvas was
placed in vessel preparation OF cyan
idc of potassium, sulphufic acid and
water, which upon being mixed to-
gether produced hydro-cyanic gas that
permeated all through the leaves of the
tree and destroyed every insect. no mat
ter how minute. The experiment was
made under the direction of j. B. John
son, who is perfectly familiar with the
work and is confident that every sign of
the pests was destroyed. The process
occupied from Is to 80 minutes to each
tree.
Mr.. Gunnis is con fident that as he
has now demonstrated his ability to
overcome the black, brown, and cottony
cushion scale he can turn his attention
20 the red spider, an insect peculiar to
the southern portion of the state and
infesting lemon trees, and prove that
the cyanide procesD is just as destructive
to that insect. A point Mr. Gunnis Is
particularly anxlols to determine is just
how much material is necessary to COM
pletefy destroy he pests, as upon this
rests the question: Of expense attending
the operation. IT, is his belief that less
fumigation is ne necessary here than in
other portions of the state, but the
matter has not yet been fully deter
mined,

A Cow to fha Acra.


Bakersfield Californian: 1t is only by
comparison that Californians, or those
who have lived here long enough to
have forgotten their eastern experience,
are able to fully realize the blessings
they enjoy. A case in point is suggested
by a article in Mississippi valley agri.
cultural newspaper, under the heading,
A Cow to Each Acre. Zone COW to each
acre OF land on the farm" says the
article in question, ''is the mark set by
a few, very lew, OF our most progressive
dairymen. They have succeeded in do
ing this, and are inclined to intimate
that those who cannot or do not do this are
behind the Zines. Now let us examine
this point for q minute. Intensive farm-
ing is all right and will grow more and
more in favor, but we can go far enough
to eat all the profit, even if Gales are
large. There is a golden mean that
brings the most clear ready money from
any business. A cow to each acre can
only be kept by high manuriug of land,
soilipg and heavy outlay of labor. If
land is high in price and labor isfplenty,
then this intenBive form Oh dairylng is
all right but on cheap land it may cost
less to maintain cow on two acres than
OAOs kcuO CdH w lO1 l'Wn ENCSbluk
half the year. Pasture on fair soil
furnishes cheap food usually, and one
may lose by undertaking to double the
feed grown on such LAND when it nfust
be harvested fer the st ock. Psogress
means increase OF profit"
This ia true picture Of the difficult
ties under which the eastern farmer
labors: "a COW to each acre of land
can only be kept by high manurng of
land, soiling and heavy ontay of labor"
How that would sound if enunciated by
California writer. It nothing at all
. to keep COW to the flcre here, while
with proper care as ma ny aa three may
be frequently maintained upon the pro-
duct of one acre-this, too, without
high manuring and heavy outlay of
labor. An acre of alfalfa, with good
stand and regularly irrigated, will keep
two or three COWS the year round in this
state withoub trouble. And it is not too
much to say that IN pretty nearly every
branch of agriculture the proportionate
advantage enjoyed by the California
farmer is about the sane as compared
with the alriculturisys OF tho east.

One of these is Flavel Scott Mines, who
began to earn his living as an Office boy
in the great New York publishing estab-
Gshment OF the Harpers and rose to be
an editor of one of their publications.
Wanting more freedom for the use of
his pen, he has branched out on an in
dependent literary career, and what he
writes always receives considerate at
tention from editors. He is native of
New York state, having been born at
Cherry Valley in 1865, and, although he
has achieved fame, practically has his
career before him. Here is specimen
of his work taken from recent issue Of
Harper's Weekly. 1t is entitled "The
Reward Of the World" and reads as fol-
lows:
He fingered behind. while his comrades
marched on,
Acaptive to cowardly fears;
He knew not the heights which were steadily
won:
He qra;lcd al the deafcning cheers.
Who fingers behind thinks the battle is lost
At victory turned lie to fly,
But saw the blue standard which fiuttered and
tossed
From the enemy's ramparts on high
Then sought he the city and stood in the mart
And cried that the day he'd been gained,
Forgetting the fear that had lived in his heart,
Forgetting his manhood enchained.
The people poured out the rich gold at his feet
And wove for his brow fair wreath;
They knew not the sword of this messenger
feet
Had rusted within the bright sheath.

o native of Rhode Island, and who was
born in 1899, it may be fairly asserted
that although somewhat advanced in
years he is still young mentally and phys
ically. For over two decades he has
held the important position of assistant
editor of The Youths Companion, and
much of the latter day success of that
weekly has been due to his guidance and
advice.
Some time ego Allan Eric in con-
tribution to the New York Journalist de-
clared that Of all Mr.. Butterworth's po-

him best. The theme was suggested by
ruined church at Jamestown, Va, and
here are some extracts from it:
An ivy spray in my hand hold, =.
The kindly ivy that covers the mold
Of ruined halls; it was brought to me
From Kenilworth castle, DER the sea.
D Ivy, Ivy, think of the queen
Who once swept on her way through the oak

Her cavalcade white with silver plumes.

With their red cross banners and spurs of gold,
And thou dost cover their castles mold,

The next verse describes the entrance
of the queen into the castle, when, to
the alright of all, the clocks begin to
beat louder and seemed to say, 'Dying,
dying: this, too, shall pass away"
