same station CT which Dr. woodbridge
is director has written that he is in en-
tire accord with the article criticised
The object of the article was not intend
ed to discourage any good experimental
tions. 1t was only TO show that valuable
experiments must take time and that
private enterprise would rarely effect
| much of value in,this direction
A letter just received from DR.. Hill
gard speaks of the experiment station
in connection with the Los Angeles
academy of science and states that he
would be very glad to cooperate in any
way possible. Prof. A. ]. McClatchie is
connected with this section of the acad-
emy which is to take up the matter of
experimental work. Prof Nc Claiche
is not only one of the most able scien-
tist of the state, but he is a very close,
hard student and a. man of the mos;
absolute integrity. He ranks very high
as bacteriologist and it is an exceed
ing pity that he is not given every oppor-
tunity to turn his talent and energy
to fullest account. Surely the academy
of sciences could not have selected d
more able man to carry on this line of
work. In a recent letter from Prof Nc

give attention to the bacteria that are
found in milk. He also expresses de-
termination to experiment in the line of
obtaining suitable leguminous plant to
grow in our orchards during the winter
season that we may be able to trap AMI
utilize the atmospheric nitrogen. Prof.
Nc Claiche has already made a very
thorough experimental study of many
forms of bacteria. and his work is always
recognized as excellent quality and of
perfect reliability. Several of our orch
ardist have of late years been expert
menting somewhat with the wild
lupines. Mr.. Mills of the experiment
station is also doing work in this line
These legumes certainly offer much en-
couragement in the line of fertilization
of our orchard soils. Prof McClatchie's
general knowledge of our Southern Cal
ifornia flora makes him specially capa-
BILE to advise in this direction. Prof. Nc
Claiche also hopes to study the bacteria
of chicken cholera in hopes to utilize
them in the destruction of our various
rodent pests of Southern California
The success which has lately attended
work of this kind in Australia and the
fact that this very method was recon-
mended by the late Pasteur. makes ex-
pertinent in this line all the more desir-
able. We very much wish that the uni
vesity might see its way to place Prof |
McClatchie in the experiment station al
Chino and give him full liberty to con-
his efforts in these important
directions There would certainly be re-
suits if this could be done.

From my own experiments

| imperfect From my own experiments
and those made by others. especially the
| admirable experiments made by Prof.
| Waite of the department of agriculture
show concluSively that nearly all our
fruits will bear very much better if,
| through the action of insects, cross-pol.
| lination is very fully carried out. In
many cases I found that there was 70
fruiting at all If by artificial means
cross pollination was prevented. True,
in some cases the plants seemed to fruit
| just as we'll when close pollination was
enforced This was specially true with
the Royal apricot and the Navel orange.
Among all the other plants. which in
cluded Kelsey plum. two varieties un-
known of cherries Bartlett pears. sew
eral varieties of oranges Gall tested eX-
| cept the NaveD and several varieties OF
lemons, all bore very much less abund-
antly and some not at all where cross
pollination was artific!ally prevented.
These facts have practical value. They
show that in planting an orchard it is al
ways wisest to mix varieties. except
perhaps, in the one case of the Navel
orange. where it does no good at all TO
plant any other variety. In the case Of
the Royal apricot, already referred to-
the trees were very vigorous, and though
they bore fully without any cross-po-
lination during the year of my expert
ment yet they might not do so at an
other time. This fact often leads peo-
pie to wrong conclusions. They hear,
for instance, that some variety must be
cross -pollinated to fruit well. when they
have observed the came fruit distant
from any other variety. in full bearing
1t is more than likely, in such case, that
were the tree less vigorous, or the condi-
tions of season or tillage less propitious
the results would have been far differ
ent. 1t would seem safe proposition
that while most fruits require cross
pollination, to secure full crop, there
are often times when from specially fa-
vorable conditions, they might bear q
satisfactory crop, although entirely
sslf-pollinated. There is another prac-
teal conclusion which we may safely
draw from the above experiments 1t
is that n goodly number of bees in close
proximity to any orchard will certainly
tend to increase its fruitfulness The
time has certainly gone by when the in
telligent horticulturist or even pomolo-

nuisance. True, these may interfere
with the drying of fruit and may also
attack fruit on the trees or vines, though |
they never do this last unless for some
reason the juice is oozing from the fruit |
OrchaGists, then, should bear in mind |
the Importance of mixed planting in |
their orchards ard of securing bees in |
the near precincts of their fruit trees
There are a good many orchards nov
in California who engage beekeepers to
bring their bees to the region of their
orchards simply that this matter Of
cross-pollination may be more thor
oughly effected

SOUP A BREAKFAST DISH
The Prince of Wales Has Recently Sci

No doubt the Americans who hav,
gone to England to help celebrate th,

the idea that soup for breakfast is the
only proper and polite thing The Gus
tom has long been prevalent in France
and is now being introduced in London
AT ell The tirst-class cafes in Paris -
Gays gentleman recently returned from
the other side, ''the patron can get soups
of various kinds for breakfast, and a
great mary Parisians sip soup before
putting anything more substantial IN
their stomachs.
In Londcn, two months ago Henry
White. the swell secretary of the Anne T.
lean legation, invited me to breakfast,
srd the first thing on the menu was soup.
He told me that the prince of Wales set
had recently adopted the idea from the
French and that all London was rapidly
taking up the custom. Mr.. Waite sets
the pace for Americans over there, ard
whether or not he entertairs all of his
ccuntrymen who are fiocking to the

Pollination

among the many valuable researches &
OF the late Charles Darwin, those con-
nected with cross -pollination of flowers
rank practically well in the lead. Mr..
Darwin proved that while many flowers
must have -polinaton in order TO
fruit, great many others would ba
much more fruitful if cross-pollinated
Since DarWin's experiments, Beal, Roth
rock and others have added very mate
rally to our knowledge upon this i'm
portant subject. In writing on this sub
ject we use the word pollination in pref
efehce 20 fertilization, as it is preferable
because it gives no chance for amblen-
ity. BY cross pollination we mean that
the pollen of one race of plants is used
to fructify flowers of another. Thus the
Bartlett pear is a different variety from
the Anjou. If, then, the pollen of the
Bartlett is received on the stigma of The
Anjou, the Anjou is said to be cross
pollinated. 1t is now thoroughly estab-
lished that many Of our varieties of
fruits and vegetables are entirely stey-
lie without cross -pollination. II seems
likely that many others may be entire
ly sterile with their own pollen when
for any reason the plants are not in full
vigor Of condition. 1t is probably true
that many plants that are never wholly
sterile when self-pollinated will never
bear as prolifically when close pollina-
ton is effected. We know that many
varieties of pears, like the Bartlett. are
almost wholly sterile unless cross-pol-
linated. 1t has also been observed that
the matter of pollinat ting has very
n7lIcN Ia do with the fIl11 6
seed. Plants may fruit without poilina-
tion, but in this case it will always be
observed that seeds are either absent or
