Tho Trouble Between France and Siam

Tho Trouble between France and Siam.
The trouble between France and Siam
had been brewing for months, and the
active hostilities date back to the early
part of the present year.
They grew out of the disputes over the
border line between Siam and Anam,
over which latter country France has a
protectorate. At one Of the border towns
in the spring force Of Anamites and
Frenchmen was attacked and routed by
Siamese troops. For this France de.
manded reparation, as well as settle
ment Of the boundary difficulties, and
sent o gunboat to Bangkok.
The Siamese government Immediately
began to act on the defensive and sunk

Siam has population Of about 7,000,-

about the rivers and canals. The Por-
tuguese were the first Europeans to es-
tablish any intercourse with Siam. This
was in 1911. English traders were In
Siam early In the seventeenth century.
The treaty of 1856 with England prac-
tically gave Europeans free admittance
to Siam, and the English, owing to the
nearness Of their Indian dependencies,
have had strong diplomatic influence
in the affairs Of the country. So strong
has this been that many believe that a
war with France will ultimately result
in an English protectorate. Boston Ad-

Nuts in the 0jai valley.


+ While almonds and English wslnuts
will grow almost anywhere lin this Sec
ton, of course,l they must have, in
order to obtain the best results, strong
moist soil, with good under drainage and
some irrigation when the annual rainfall
is deficient. AS an example of what can
be accomplished under favorable condi-
tions, Mr.. Joseph Hobart of the Ojai
valley reports a maximum income OF
$1,000 from 265 Languedoc almond trees,
occupying about three acres of land. The
trees are 18 years old and the yield has
sometimes been ss low as $400, which
Mr.. Hobart considers failure. He
estimates the average cost of handling at
20 per cent. The selling price of almonds
is from 10 to IL cents. English walnuts
do not bear freely under s years of age.
After that time they will yield from 80
to 200 pounds per tree. The average
selling price is cents, and it is not diff
ficult to understand why walnut orchards
are held to be worth from $500 to $1,000
per acre. Nut orchards do not require
an unusual amoun: of attention and
many growers raise crops OF bsane, ETC.,
between the rows until the trees begin
to bear.

Senator Stanford's Illness.

An intimate friend of the Stanford
family relates ON incident In the sena-
tors life in Washington: A policeman
on duty one evening on K street, within
block of the Stanford residence at the
national capital, found man lying un-
conscious on the sidewalk. He was
about to ring in an alarm for the patrol
wagon when gentleman came up and
recognized the unconscious man as Sem
ator Stanford. They succeeded in get
ting the senator into his house without
any one else knowing what had hap
pened, and nothing was ever said about
it. The first question the senator asked
when he regained consciousness was
whether the newspapers would know all
about it, and he appeared to be greatly
relieved when he learned that it had
been kept a secret. The gentleman who
knew of this incident said that the sena-
tors sudden death was no surprise to
him.-San Francisco Chronicle.

A Novelty In Trolley Roads.

In an electric road recently construct
ed in England radical departure from
American methods has been made. A
trolley wire is suspended from arms pro-
jecting from steel columns. No guy
wires are employed, as the steel wires
are especially designed to withstand Sc
we're strains. At the corners the trolley
wire, instead of following curve Of the
same radius of the track, as in the Amer
ican systems, is turned on an angle, the
whole system depending on the dexibili-
ty of the trolley arm, or side collector,
as it is called, which automatically en-
cages the trolley wire in any position
from two to twelve feet from the side Of
the car.
Another change from American prac-
tice is the adoption of pressure of only
$50 volts. The cars are only % feet long
and are equipped with two motors Of 10
brake horsepower, running at 400 revo-
lutions. Philadelphia Press.

Pomona Times: Spraying fruit trees
and other plants to prevent the ravagei
of fungous disease, a novel thing tc
many, as shown by the numerous quer'
les received by the experiment station
concerning ingredients used and the
necessary appliances with which to dc
the work.
For apple scab. various leaf diseases oi
fruit trees and grape rot the following
are used:
Bordeaux mixture-Copper sulphate,
4 pounds; quick lime, A pounds; water,
30 gallons. Dissolve the copper sulphste
and lime separately and mix when cool.
Copper carbonate solution is made by
dissolving six ounces of copper carbon
ate in three pints of ammonia, and di-
luting to 80 gallons, with water.
The Bordeaux mixture is to be applied
to fruit trees four times, twice before and
twice after blooming, and four ounces OF
Paris green are added the third and
fourth times to kill insects. Potatoes
should be sprayed with the same mix
ture five or six times. Grape vines are
treated the same, except that six appli-
cations are given and copper carbonate
is substituted for the Bordeaux III Vture
for the fifth and sixth, ana no reris
green is used. These mixtures properly
used save the fruit from rot, ecab, cur
culio. apple worms and various other
diseases and insects.
To apply these mixtures good force
pump is needed, and in it should be
combined the following essentials: II
should be made of brass, or some mate
rial which the chemicals will not cor.
rode, and If to be used for spraying trees,
should have force enough to throw two
or three strong sprays. The pump may
be mounted on tank or barrel, which
may be placed on a sled, cart or wagon.
To keep the fluid agitated, go as to pre-
vent the settling of the ingredients, a
stream may be returned from the pump
to the tank, or better still an agitator
may be affixed to the pump. For con-
venieuce in spraying large trees, about
% feet OF good rubber hose is needed,
and to this is attached galvanized iron
pipe OF one-fourth inch in diameter and
18 feet in length. To the outer end OF
the pipe the nozzle is attached. The
nozzle should throw fine spray, or mist,
and should not clog easily. If the pump
has sufficient force, two or more attach
ments can be made, and several men
kept busy at the came time. For vines
and shrubs knapsack or hand sprsyeI
will do very good work, bu! one of larger
capacity and transported by horse is
better for trees.

Facts ABOUT Alfalfa.


Yuma Times The experience OF the
past year has demonstrated that it is
no use to try to force alfalfa and other
things out OF season. There is proper
time of year.to COW and plant here az
elsewhere. With alfalfa, if sown after
the extreme heat of summer sets in, the
great danger is from scalding, as several
people have found to their cost. With
small patches OF an acre or 80 where care
can be taken in irrigatlng, alfalfa will
grow and make stand during the sum
mer, but it is question if anything ia
gained over waiting couple of months
until cooler weather. Fall and winter
sown alfalfa obtains sufficient growth
and strength to resist any bad effects
from the summer sun which late eown
seed is sure to experience.
Interviews with some of our best
farmers, men who have farmed all their
lives, develop the fact that there is no
difference OF opinion on alfalfa sowing.
Any one who aows in June, July and
August is simply taking big chances of
success. Those monthe are best to clear
land OF brush, because then no second
growth will start. Land should be prop
erly cleared and leveled; then irrigated,
30 a5 to start the weeds. After the
weeks have come up several inches they
should be turned under. This course
will effectually get rid OF them while
the alfalfa is making start, and not
necessitate pulling up weeds to save the
alfalfa from being choked out, as was
the case with some summer sowing.
The great danger in summer, as has
been naid, is scalding. Wherever the
