Notes

Mr.. W. c. Fuller. the wideawake agri-
cultural editor of the Cotton News, has
this to say of the Southern California
fruit exchange: The exchanges have
sold 1900 carloads of fruit and in this i'm
mense business Of nearly 1,500,000 the
only loss in bad debts was in transac-
ton involving $46.5. No wonder Mr.
Fuller is able to say: There will be an
increase of fruit in the exchange ana
the directors are praised for the able
execution of the business entrusted to
their charge" 1.-The sold delivered
method of disposing of the crop has
proved the best method of avoiding the
many Misunderstanding and endless
adjustments Of rebates heretofore had
by the exchange.
1t is reported that 81 900 tons of beets
have already been used at the Chino fac
tory, and 270 carloads of sugar shipped
out Nearly 100000 have been paid out
to labor during the past six weeks, eX-
elusive of officers salaries.
At the institutes the question is often
asked, what is the difference between
beet and cane sugar? There is no diff
ference. Both are cane sugar If eth
er smells bad or proves different from
the normal cane sugar at its best, 1t is
simply from lack of proper refinement.
1t is also frequently stated that the beet
sugar is not good to use for canning
fruit. 1t is stated that the fruit does
not ke4p well. This complaint was SO
universal that we tried beet sugar eX-
tensively and with perfect success. In
most or many cases where the sugar
does not keep the boiling was not con-
tinued long enough or else the can was
not sealed air tight.
One of the warmest and most interest
ing discussions at the Nordhoff insti-

vtute was on forest preservation. 1t was
stoutly maintained that more forests
should be reserved. especially those in
northern Ventura county. and that
while the pr.sen. regulation that dead
timber might be cut and used was well.
the mos. stringent measures should be
taken to prevent setting fires to kill the
timber so that /, could be cut.
The following from the Cotton News
shows that fumigation is on the war
path in our neighboring county of San
Bernardino:
Preparations are about completed for
a s-nsral iamigation for bla,k scale in
he west end Di the county, and VIII
cover all the territory that is Possible
With he 1lJ tents futn.sned ~ the
county.
The estimate Of the cost OF fumlgat-
ing orchards is as follows: There will
be four gangs os men and tents and each
gang can handle 500 trees in night, or
1900 trees in week. They will use four
ounces of cyanide to the tree. or 450
pounds III week, and the fou: gangs Of
men will fumigate 1900 trees in a week,
using 1900 pounds of cyanid5 at 3ol2
cents per pound $549. with $50 pounds
of sulphuric acid at 3 cents per pound.
s10S. There will be fou. foremen al SIS
each per week. and IA men st sl2 psr
week. costing for la bor S240 p. week.
or total of $S97 for fumgating 7200
trees. or for the month it will cost $35SS,
and the four teams of men and te It's will
fumigase 2S,SO0 trees, or about 400
acres
We note with pleasure that many of
the local exchanges are re-electins near
ly all the old officers. This shows good
management and appreciation.
The Pacific Rural Press is very right
Farmers Institutes held in Southern
California: The meetings were attend
ed by Prof. Wickson, as superintendent
of the university extension movement
in agriculture and Prof. Cook as con-
ductor for the counties south of the
Tehachapi mountains. These gentle
men are experienced in this sort of
work but the great success of the meet
ings is as much due to the enthusiastic
welcome and participa ton Of the people
of the southern communities as to any
skill of the promoters" The laudatory
editorial adds further: "The result was
that each meeting drew it's attendance
from many miles and the meeting places
were crowded to overlooking"
We notice that the Rural Press appre-
ciates good things, as the last two num-
bers are largely composed of Southern
California institute articles.

FIRE COMMISSION MEETING
Only Routine Business Transacted

The regular meeting of the board of

morning. The session was brief, as only
routine business was transacted. Chief
Moore reported that as the part of the

the fire limits that the board there
fore had no jurisdiction. The clerk was

Hasty judgment CT the actions Of

We measure too much by some superb
cial appearance and condemn hastily,
when, if we knew all and understood
the motives and reasons we would
warmly approve. We sometimes say Of
some one, This pain, sorrow or loss

But we do net know. 1t is like the
death Of few Of the soldiers in front

CHRISTIAN ENDEANOR.



ToPIc.-Cousessins Christ before men; why
and how.-Joln XII, 1915; Rom. <, s-L. A
meeting for especial thought Of the associate
members and the unconyertcd.l
This topic appeal especially to the
associate members 1t appeals to all
who believe in Christ, but who have
not confessed Him as Lord before the
world. Some people hold the opinion
that all who really believe Will confess
Christ. This is mistake. | firmly be-
lieve that many people sincerely believe
in Jesus Christ who will not confess
Him, at least by uniting with His church
or in public way. We have Scripture
authority for the belief that men may
believe in Christ and yet not confess
Him. John tells Us that among the
chief rulers also many believed on Him,
but because Of the Pharisces they did
not confess Him. lest tbey should be put
out OF the synagogue, for they loved the
sraise Of men more than the praise Of
God" Many today believe III Christ,
but do not confess Him Some think 1t
is not necessary to make a public pro-
fession Of their faith, some are too
timid, some feel their personal I'M
worthiness, some that they may not be
able to represent Christ properly, and
some, alas, are afraid Of the opinions Of
others. like the rulers Of old.
All believers should confess their be-
lief. Nothing should keep Us from con-
Tossing Christ If we really believe in
Him. There is no just reason fer not
doing SO. There are many splendid rea-
sons why we should: /. Christ expects
Us to confess Him before the world. He
requests 1t of Us. He attaches the prom
Use Of blessing TO the command to con-
fess Him. Cbrist's wish should be law
to believers. What He wants Us to do
we should do. He wants Us first to be-
lieve and then to confess Him. Confess
sion should be the natural and logical
result of faith. When we believe in the
heart, we should confess with the
mouth. 2 We should confess Christ for
the benefit Of others All have an infiu-
ence in the world. Our influence should
be for Christ if we believe in Him. It
will not be unless we confess Him. BY
silent love and silent faith we cannot
exercise an influence for Christ. Our
very silence Will speak against Christ.
g. We will want Christ 10 confess rs
when we stand before the bar Of God.
He has promised 10 do so If We confess
Him in the world How can we expect
1t if we neglect or refuse 70 confess
Christ now?
How should we confess Christ? First
Of all by uniting ourselves with Christ
church. 1t Is in tins way that we pro-
claim ourselves Christians. Then upon
every occasion given by word and deed,
by testimony ana ~ life we should con
fess Christ Our tongues and our lives
should testify to the world that we
have been with Jesus.

Somewhat exaggerated and slightly

any one else in solving the question
how to telegraph between two points
