Fruit-Growers' Convention,

The State Board of Horticulture has
fixed upon Sacramento as the place
for holding the Fruit Growers Con-
vention next autumn. In the mean
time there will be a July meeting
somewhere in Southern California. In
response to a communication from F.
M. RICHTER, of Campbell, the Board
appointed a committee, consisting of f.
NJ. Richter, b. F. Walton of Campbell,
John E. Boal of National City and
another member to be named to con.
slider and report as to the marketing
of fruits. The request was made
that this subject be the first business
taken up, which it is to be hoped will
be granted by the Board in arranging
the programme, as it will enable those
who do not care to listen to repeti.
ton of the annual dispensaticn of talk
on this subject to save one days hotel
bills. The subject of fruit marketing
is now thoroughly understood by intel.
ligent fruit-growers, and all there is
to do is to go ahead and market it.
Toward this consummation these dis.
cussions have contributed absolutely
nothing. There is plenty of wise talk.
but no money put up or arranged for
to carry out any plans which the con-
vention may vote ought to be adopted.

London's Turkish Holdings,

There are $3.50, 100000 in Turkish gov
eminent bonds listed on the London
Exchange list. The English capitalists
hold a great many of them. How many,
it is impossible to say. If the general
opinion is that the bonds will be rem
dered valueless, there will be a scurry
to get rid of them, and in the selling
scramble the score or so of important
American stocks will be slaughtered
in price. In the readjustment of banl
loans with American and Turkish
bonds up as joint collateral there will
be forced selling, and this will assist in
spreading the slump. Arbitrage deal
ing will keep the markets together

fiected here, not only in stocks, but II

The price Of consols is the universal
test of an Englishmans financial feel
ings, and the close monetary relationl
between England and Turkey, through
the Rothschilds and other big lenders
will enable an immediate gauging OF
which way the English pocket is likely
to be affected by the present struggl,
or its possible outcome.

Farmers, Summer school.

EdTheTs' summer SCHOOL.
The third annual session of this
school. formerly known as Camp
Roache, will begin on Monday, June
2Sth, and continue three weeks. This
school, as is we'll known, was estab-
lished by Highland Grange, under the
authority of the State Grange, and
with it's educational control in the
hands of committee of the State
Grange. After an experience of two
years, Highland Grange assumes en-
tire charge, with no responsibility of
any kind attaching to the State
Grange. For the past two years High
land Grange has been at considerable
trouble and expense to arrange for
camping facilities and other cheap
methods of living for attendants from
abroad, but the number of visitors not
having justified so much effort the
grange will hereafter take no respon-
sibility of that kind. The community
has hitherto paid the expenses of the
school and been well repaid for it, and
proposes to maintain it for it's own
benefit. 1t invites the whole world to
attend, but makes no effort to induce
any one to do SO. Those desiring to
camp will find no difficulty to get
eligible places free, and will doubtless
receive abundant attention from the
hospitable Highland people. The leo
lures of the first week will be by Mr..
Bioletti of the University of California,
n,, "a mil III al
growth of the plant, fungi and fungous
diseases and parasites. Those of the
third week, beginning July 18th, will
be by Professor NJ. L. Jaffa of the Uni
versity of California, and will deal
with the rational feeding of man and
domestic animals, with one lecture
devoted to milk and its product Eand
one to food authorizations. The pro-
gramme of the second week, beginning
July 9th, has not yet been definitely
arranged, owing to some uncertainty
as to who may be available at that
time. President Jordan and Professor
Ross of Stanford University will be
present, unless DR.. Jordan should be
compelled to leave for Alaska before
that time, which is not now expected.
Professor G. II. Plehn of the Univer-
sity of California is also expected.
The week will be devoted to popular
lectures on economic subjects and will
be both interesting and highly instruc-
tive.
The lectures on the agricultural
topics will be similar to those given at
farmers institutes, except that an en-
tire week being devoted to one subject,
the work can he done more in detail
and more thoroughly. The full pro-
gramme will soon be announced, and
in the meantime those interested can
obtain full particulars by addressing

Honey Extraction.

Speaking of the invention of the
honey extractor, the S. +. Chronicle
says: This machine is a wheel,
upon which the comb honey is placed
and rapidly revolved, extracting the
honey by centrifugal force. The
comb is then returned to be again
filled by the bees, who are thus saved
the labor of comb-building. Like every
other labor-saving invention, this in
evitaDly reduced the price of honey and
at the same time increased eonsump-
ton, thus adding to the volume of
business and tending to make honey
staple article. Formerly, where
honey" was mentioned, comb honey
was meant, and that free from the
comb was known as strained honey"
Now the trade understands honey"
TO mean the extracted product, and if
comb honey is meant it is so expressed.
This indicates the revolution in the
trade. The invention of the extractor
did not cheaper comb honey, but gave
it the competition of a cheaper product
just as good except to the eye, and
really more wholesome. This affected
the demand for comb honey, and con-
sequently its price. This legitimate
competition was followed by that of
fraudulent limitations of honey, the ex-
tracted product being easy to counter
felt, which has had disastrous effect
upon the industry. There is now, and
has been for two years past, very strin-
gent laws against the adulteration of
any food product which has never been
enforced. At the solicitation of the
bee men the last Legislature enacted a
new law forbidding the adulteration
of honey. In his dispensation of vetos
the Governor might as we'll have re-
fused to sign this as needlessly cum
bering the statute book, but did not,
and now the honey men have two laws,
neither of which will have the slight
est effect upon the honey trade, unless
money is put up by somebody to pay
for the arrest and conviction of those
who violate them. As the honey men
have not for the last two years made
any attempt whatever to enforce a per.
fectly adequate law, there is no reason
to suppose they will pay any more at
tention to the new law. And if they
do not, nobody else will. If the
writer were dishonorable tradesman
making or dealing in fraudulent stuff
called honey, he would not trouble
himself about the law. but keep right
on and take his chances. And as a
matter of fact, this is what most Of
those now in that business will do.
