STATE FRUIT COMBINE.
1t Would Doubly Protect the Frul'
Growers Interests.
CULTIVATE YOUR PAMPAS PLUMES
The Fresno Raisin Comblne-Callfornia' s
Lemon Future-Fast Fruit Trains
started-Matters OF Interest.

The organization Of a Fruit Growers
Protective Association, which has been
agitated in the past few weeks, and the
completion of which the growers are
now engaged in, is an excellent pro-
ject, and no doubt will be sanctioned
by everyone, says the Placer Republl-
can The fact that in unionizing the
interests of the growers and shippers
lies the secret of ultimate success need
not be gainsaid. In organizing this in
stitution the promoters must work to
the end of perfect harmony among both
classes. The shippers have displayed
commendable willingness to cooper
ate in this plan, and do their utmost
to maintain reasonable rate on fruit
shipped, as far as it is possible for
them to do. 1t has been suggested to
us, however, that for permanent sue
cess the work of organization should be
carried throughout the State. To have
State organization would abolish all
local competition, and make the grow
ers of California unit, so far as prices
are concerned, and as this is the main
object, the suggestion, it occurs to us,
is a good one. The growers should
use care and avoid doing anything
which may tend to create dissatisfac-
ton. Whatever may have been done
in the past is now foreign to the sub,
ject. 1t is proposed to unionize these
elements, and to that end, therefore,
the present movement was lnaugurated
Besides building up better prices
better fruit must also be considered
While there has been but small
amount of the inferior article in oul
shipments, there has been some. Ii
fixing the requirements of the proposed
organization, restrictions should be pu
on allowing any inferior fruit to leav,

fruit may do more harm than could b.
atoned for by carload of first-clas
/ article. With the energy which is a

Peach borers and Plum Aphis.

Peach borers need to be guarded
against by coating the tree with white
wash or other coating, says Pacific
Tree and Vine. Conversing with VIM.
Wehner, of Evergreen, he advanced the
idea that by delaying the whitewash
till the eggs of the borer are laid and
then putting on good coat, the eggs
will be covered and destroyed. He is
acting on this idea, and if it proves to
be the true plan there is still plenty of
time to do the work for two or three
weeks yet. AS near as we can observe
there is an interval of from three to
four weeks, depending somewhat Oh
the weather, between the laying and
Matching of these eggs.
Several complaints come in about
plum aphis. If only one tree or SC
needs attention, whale oil soap solu
ton, one pound to four gallons, will b.
spray easiest to make. If many tree'
are affected, Resin Soap Wash for aphi
is cheapest and best.

President Weaver, of the San Jose
Board of Trade, has called attention to
the work of INSCRIPTIONS shippers in
placing the Santa Clara county brand
on an inferior article of fruit not raised
in Santa Clara Valley. He says that
last season about fifty carloads of cheap
prunes were brought into San Jose, re-
packed and shipped East as Santa
Clara product. These shippers by
their cunning are enjoying the reputa-
ton it has cost Santa Clara people so
much to build up. He stated that in
formation had reached him that large
purchase of cheap prunes from north
ern county was soon to go through the
same experience. This condition of
affairs suggests that Santa Clara
brand be trade-marked as protection.
1t would soon become known and i'm
position would in a measure be
checked.

California Pampas Plumes.

The announcement from Mark
Hanna, chairman of the National Re-
publican Campaign Committee, that
the pdmpas plume had been chosen as
the battle emblem of that party during
the coming struggle, was very crafty
ing news to Secretary Filcher OF the
State Board of Trade and Mrs. Harriet
w. R. Strong of Whittier, Los Angeles
county, says the S. f. Chronicle. To
these two is due the credit of having
the pampas plume honored as it has
been. The benefit to California is con-
siderable, as it is the only State in the
Union where the pampas is grown to
any great extent. The aid of Secretary
Lennon of the California delegation
was enlisted, and plan was mapped
out whereby the tri-colored plumes
were to be waved when the nomina-
ton was made. Mrs. Strong was ON
hand to supply the plumes and it was
announced that all delegates wishing
them could procure them at the Cali
fornia headquarters. There are now
ON hand in this State about 5000, 900
of the plumes, and the new crop will
be ready about September LIST.

Our Superior Lemons.

Zone phase of the past fruit season
that deserves remembrance, says the
Riverside Press, is that the indiscrim-
mate credit granted by the New York
bankers to the importers of foreign
fruits for the purpose of encouraging
shipments has resulted in heavy losses
One importer, it is said, has lost up
ward of $3.50, 900, a very large part of
which is now due to New York bankers
for advances made to Sicily lemon
growers. In the development OF
citrus fruit in this country, it is plain
ly shown that many places are even
better adapted to the growth of the
lemon, than the orange; and as it is Of
the best commercial value it is not tC
be regretted that it is so.

The Rhizobius ventralis.

The Horticultural Commissioners of
San Bernardino county received the
first consignment of 5000 Rhizobius
Ventralis ON June 18th, and distributed
them over the country, wherever they
found the conditions favorable and
their feed plenty. Colonies were placed
in Ontario, Cucamonga, Cotton. San
Bernardino Messina, East Highland
and Idlewild 1t is the intention Of
the Commissioners to give this little
parasite thorough trial, trusting that
the good results reported in other parts
may be accomplished here. For the
next four or five months they will place
colonies every two weeks.

A huge lemon has just fallen from
the tree in the yard of San Diego man
after hanging patiently to the limb for
ten months since il was time to pick
it for market. 1t is in excellent con-
dition and has girth of fifteen inches.
Its owner, after careful experiments,
finds that the juice of lemon which
fully natures ON the tree is much
pleasanter to the taste and richer in
desirable acid qualities than is the
juice Of lemons picked before maturity.

Two steamers have gone from the
Pirseus for the Christian women and
children who are DESTROYS of leaving
the island because of the instruction
there against Turkish rule. The in
surgents have refused to accept the
terms of the Porte, which, in effect,
are that they lay down their arms be-
fore the matter of reforms is consid-
cred. The situation is deplorable.
Christian villages have been seized by
the Turkish troops and hundreds of
families are wandering about in the
hills in an absolutely destitute condi-
tion. The turkish troops have retired
to Bukolis and the Christians have
advanced to Alikiancu.

Hon. Benjamin H. Bristow, the
well-known lawyer and former Secre-
