to most of you. and accomplished so
much work In the most depressed finan-

many years, getting through at the end
with floating debt of only about
per cent of the total cost of construc-

In the face of this spropositionthee effort
to bring about foreclosure was an un-
warranted and wicked act, andto great
extent instigated by parties having no
interest other than litiga tion and selfish
purposes, and the fact that efforts are
still being made to ruin and entirely
ignore the originator and main support
ers OF this enterprise, so valuable to the
entire community is sufficient evidence
that honesty and Justice are not at the
bottom of these proceedings. 1t is quite
in contrast to the manner of reorganiz-
ing the Pasadena and Los Angeles cleo

for $3.50, ,000 with not one foot of grading

The mere suggestion for receiver and
foreclosure of the bonds of this company
at the time and under the circumstances,
as before stated, was wicked and unwar-
rantable, and not the least grounds ex-
listed for such proceedings, and was only
falsely made apparent by those inter-
ested in litiga tion and the wrecking of
the property for selfish ends. On this
subject the following was published in

Hints to Lemon Growers.

T. J. Ashby, secretary of the Pasa-
dena Lemon Growers Association,
says in regard to lemons:
The stems must be cut close, but
care must be taken not to cut, scratch
or bruise the fruit. 1t is found that
many of tho culls are made by careless
clipping and long finger nails.
The desirable sizes are the 360s in
summer and the 3O0s in winter.
These measure 1-6 and IA to 2 5.S.
Lemons above and below are graded
subject to the discretion of the man
ager.
Lemon groves should be picked over
once month. Use padded baskets
or pals into which the fruit be laid
mot dropped or thrown-then care.
fully transfer to boxes placed in the
shade.
Pick before irrigation or wait several
days. Never pick lemon moist from
fog or dew, or leave them unprotected
after gathering.
Smutty fruit received will be
washed OF sponged at the expense Of
the grower. Members have the
option of doing this for themselves
but it is we'll to remember spraying OIL
fumigating is much less of an ex
pense.
1t will pay for the grower to Gull
his own fruit and not haul it botf
ways. Experience will soon show 4

Peach YelIo VS..


One of the plainest symptoms of
peach yellows, and in many cases the
first TO be observed, is the premature
and uneven ripening Of the fruit, says
J. Y. Hubbard. Ii may be upon half
Of the tree. OF upon only a branch,
or even a twig, that the fruit will
come to Maturity one to four weeks
earlier than usual; while upon the re-
manning portions it ripens at, the
proper time. The prematurely ripened
fruit differs from healthy fruit in be-
ing more highly colored and marked
with crimson spots and blotcnes.
which seem TO penetrate the flesh of
the peach. No matter how healthy
and vigorous in all other respects the
tree may seem, no matter how
attractive this prematurely ri
pened fruit may appear to the eye,
the experienced grower knows
that the tree Is doomed and is not
only worthless but source of danger
to adjacent trees, and that the only
wise course for him to pursue is to de-
stroy both tree and fruit as promptly
as possible.
Another symptom is the growth of
wiry stemmed, narrow leaved shoots
from the trunk or main branches of
the tree. Where orchards are we'll
kept, it is easy to distinguish between
diseased and healthy twig growth,
but in the case of starved tree there
might be difficulty and some uncer.
tainty. Very often these two symp.
toms are associated, but either one,
clearly defined, is sufficient. A third
symptom, less easy to describe, is
found in the habit of growth and col
oring of the foliage. The leaves are
set more closely than usual upon the
twig, and toward the latter part of the
period of growth those near the base
of the twig will turn yellow, while
those at the tip remain of healthy
green color. The effect is best OBJ.
served at a little distance from the
tree. ! regard this symptom as sure
one, but it is not so readily observed
as are the two preceding ones.
In a matter of this kind illustration
is worth very much more than de,
scription. Anyone desiring the ability
to detect peach yellows should go tC
an orchard where it is to be found
and let some one who does know il
point out the symptom which identify
it. Half an hour spent in this man
ner is of more practical value thar

ton.

lmpOrting instances.

Australia is overrun with rabbits, the
descendants of half dozen imported
from England some years ago. They
have become so numerous that the agr-
cultural interests of the country are Sc
riousiy threatened. Devices of all sorts
have been employed in the effort to get
rid of them, but thus far without avail.
Disease germs have been scattered
among them, but this is dangerous, as
the rabbits die. and domestic animals
may devour them. 1t is a matter OF
common remark that the English spar
row has become a nuisance. Brought
here originally to destroy caterpillars,
it is more annoying and destructive
than the insects it was supposed to prey
upon. The danger of importing crea-
lures of this sort Is nowhere more aptly
shown than in the efforts now being
made in Massachusetts to eXterminate
the gypsy moth. This insect was
brought to this country by an entomol-
ogist. BY some accident number Of
them escaped, and within the past four
years half million dollars have been
expended in trying to get rid of them.
1t is thought that some millions may be
required before the gypsy moth is en-
tirely destroyed, If this can be done at
all, which very many persons are
strongly inclinded to doubt. Some
years ago a hyaclnth, brought from some
foreign country, took root in Florida
and spread to several Of the rivers,
which have become so choked by the
growth of it that navigation is difficult,
and considerable sums of money are re-
quired to keep the channel open. All
of which furnishes an excellent reason
for the greatest care in bringing foreign
plants and animals into new localities.

Our Fruit in New York.

California is making golden profit
by reason of the warm spell in the
East, says the San Francisco Call.
Undoubtedly the frigid weather and
cyclonic disturbances with which
June was ushered in over in the other
States prompted thousands to come
West with the Endeavorers and take
summer comfort, at reduced rates, in
a land where all the Weather Bureau
has to do is to print daily circular
from a stereotype plate announcing
'for tomorrow, fair, and light
breezes."
Things are coming our way, no mat
ter what happens. The people who
remained East through choice or force
of circumstances have been roasting
under the fierce rays of a merciless
sun. What is the best warm weather
diet? Fruit. Whence comes the most
palatable fruit? From California.
Therefore the dispatches bring up the
report of a largely inreased consump-
ton in the far East of the products of
the orchards of this salubrious cline.
In New York, at one single sale last
week, 40, 900 packages of California
oranges and lemons were disposed of.
This knocks all previous records Of
big sales into Oblivion.
Advices from New York informed
us that fifty eight carloads of Cali.
fornia fruit of all descriptions were
sold last week in the Empire City
against thirty carloads during pre-
vious, making total of ia carloads
thus far during the present season
Peaches sold for from 6 cents to $1.1t
a box; apricots from $3.50 to ST. so
California Bartlett pears, IS.
We will not desert our Eastern
cousins in the hour of need. W.
would not seq them suffer for fruit il
we had to ship whole carloads of il
free; but, of course, it makes us al
feel good to know that money is get
ing plentiful throughout the country
and to acknowledge that the Eastern
folks know good fruit when they Sc,
it and are willing to pay proper value
for it.
If we cannot give them all the,
want of it this year we will be able t,
do better by them next. In a few
years we will be prepared to satisf,
their every longing in regard to on
fruits. If all these things do not in
dictate good times for us, then we ar
nightly deceived. The average Cal
