SCOTT AND THE SCALE BUGS,
The Competency of the Horti-
cultural Commissioner.
Not Much of Showing Made by That
Officers Opponents.
The Supervisors Commence q Thorough
Invsstigation Into tho Charges
That Have Been
Brought.

The anticipated attempt to oust Mr..
John Scott of Duarte from the office of
county horticultural commissioner was
begun before the board OF supervisors
yesterday morning, and consumed the
rest of the day, and will be resumed this
morning at 10 o'clock.
The action is brought in the form of O
petition from some of the residents OF
Downey and vicinity, praying that Mr..
Scott be removed.
The petition charges that Mr.. Scott,
through neglect, has allowed the purple
scale to spread from Clearwater across
to Whittier; also that he has antago
nized the state board of horticulture.
thereby prejudicing the best interests OF
the fruit growers Of the county.
A number of witnesses for the petit
tion were examined. 1t is noticeable
fact that the majority of the complaints
against Mr.. Scott are from the neighbor-
hood of Downey, while the growers in
the San Gabriel valley are almost a
unit for his retention.
A number of facts were brought out
by the examination, but nothing has
been obtained in direct relation to Mr..
Scott's hostility to the state board.
Mr.. Scott was also examined. The
main point elected from MIN was the
fact that frequently the required no.
tices, al prescribed by law, were not
served when the orchards were declared
infested with the scale. and the county
was, from this oversight, not able to OBJ.
tain lien on the property Ii necessary,

cost of fumigation. Mr.. Scott stated,
however, that in cases where notices
were not served agreements were en-
tered into by the orchardiets and him.
self whereby the latter bound them
selves to pay their proportion.
Just what facts the petitioners will be
able to prove today remains to be seen,
but it is certain that Mr.. Scott's position
remained mistaken when the board ad.
journed, after having listened to large
quantity of testimony. There are Ger
tain facts which have yet been scarcely
touched upon, but the supervisors seem
determined to siit the entire matter tc
the bottom. go far as possible, and what
ever is likely to throw additional light
on the controversy will be admitted al
evidence.

shouted. Don't jump. Don't jump!

Frog, Eat y.a.,ss.


Some time ago discovered accidental

him off to the tank, wet his wings to pre-
vent his flying. and set him on the rock

After moments pause a frog ad-
vances. and in an instant the wasp has
disappeared, drawn into the frogs mouth
by single dart of his long tongue. Oc-
casionally the wasp reappears, wholly c:'
partially, having made it unpleasant for
the frog, but he is almost always swal-
lowed in the end. Usually convulsive
