somewhere in the neigh borhood of 10000
trees. One of the greatest dangers TO
| olive culture IS the black scale. 1t infests
the tree when from to years old and
has been treated by spraying which,
| though successful, is a costly and of ne
cessity an annual remedy. Two years ago
the State Board of Horticulture sent to
Captain Crosse a coll lection of black }aNt-
birds, which he turned loose on a treA
badly infested with the scale. No benefit
accruing up to June of last year he oo-
tanned two more colonies Of the bugs and
he is now reaping the result OF the indus
trious insects, for the trees are nice and 1
clean, the scale is rapidly disappearing
and the lady birds are having a regular
picnic.
Some four miles from the city is situated
the quaint little hamlet of Mark West, on
the main road to Heads burg and Glover
dale. Though of modest dimensions 1t is
extremely picturesque, its main feature
being the large bridge which spans the
Mark West Greek at the entrance to the
village. The gentleman whose name The
town bears settled there IN 184), and, in
the following year, he erected all adobe
building which, up to very recent period,
was landmark to the residents in the
valley and a point of pilgrimage for the
visitor to Santa Rosa. Most of the build
Ings that formed this settlement were
moved to Fulton on the arrival of the
railroad.
Fulton is distant some five miles north
of Santa Rosa, and was founded by Thomas
and james Fulton in 1871. The town is
occupied with all the industries of an in
land community, and is remarkably eigi-
bic as a shipping point. The exporta-
tions are. principally, cord wood, tan bark
and charcoal, besides lum ber grain, but
ter and general iarm produce.
Last but by no means least the social
side of Santa Rosa must be mentioned.
The exquisite and fair surroundings seem
to have fostered the spirit of sociability,
which is nowhere more intense than in
California. One OF the leading societies is
