only staminste varieties. or those

not leaf eating and cannot be reached
by any known poison. The best remedy
suggested is 10 raise pistillate varie-
lies, with only sufficient staminates to
assure fertilization, and to seek to pro-
tect the staminates by all possible
means. A muslin cover is a perfect
protection, but we do not see how

suggestion in the circular is intended
to apply only to self-fertilizing plants
The other remedies suggested are trap

clean culture and burning over the dry

The New Sugar Factory.

The second beet sugar factory in
Southern California; will be completed
and in operation by the middle of
July, says the S. F. Chronicle. The
fatory is located at Los Alamitos, in
the extreme northwestern end of
Orange county. Its builders are J..
Ross Clark of Los Angeles and his
brother, W. A. Clark of Butte, Mont
They have already spent over $400, 900
on the venture, and before the first
pound of sugar is turned out they will
have spent round half-million.
The erection of the factory at Los
Alamitos has brought into existence a
tiourishing town of that name; it has
brought under cultivation 1000 acres
of virgin soil and has given decided
impetus to the sugar beet industry in
the southern end of the State. 1t is
believed that unlimited capital awaits
like investment in this vicinity if
the Clark factory proves a success. In
addition to all this the institution
means a permanent employment for
skilled and unskilled laborers IN the
factory. and profitable occupation for
the tilleIs of the fertile plains.
The Clark factory, for the season of
1897. will have capacity of $50 tons
of beets daily. Under the terms of
contract entered into by the proprie-
tors and the Bixby Land Company,
this capacity must be doubled in time

Crop Report,

The following weekly crop summary
is issued by the California section,
Climate and Crop Service W Gather
Bureau, James A. Barwich, section
director:
The weather has been more favorable
to wheat and barley, which is filing
up better than expected some time ago,
although the crop will be short. The
fruit crop in the Sacramento valley
varies from not so good to better than
last year. Prunes will generally be
fair crop. peaches, pears, plums and
apricots fair crop, while the grape
crop gives promise of good yield.
Hops growing satisfactorily. Napa
valley shows the fruit crop variable
one; as compared with last years,
apricots will be the same, as will also
plums, peaches less, almonds and wal
nuts above. Wheat, barley, and hay
will be a short crop. Sonoma valley,
lower portion, reports fruit crop better
than last year. middle and upper end
of valley reports show variable con-
dition as to fruit; apples and prunes
greater than last year, but still, crop
will be light. Santa Clara valley also
shows variable conditions as to the
fruit crop as compared with last years;
some portions very much better, others
about the same, and still others show
better conditions than last year; hay
crop will be light one. In the San
joaquin valley the grain prospects are
somewhat improved ON account of bet.
ter weather. Tulare county reports
peaches and pear crop full one.
Southern California shows grain crop
improved under more favorable wealth.
er during the week; the fruit crop,
such as peaches, prunes, plums, pears,
apricots, ETC., are reported in all con-
ditions from almost failure in some
parts, fair and nearly full crops in
Others, while few places report almost
total failure as compared with last
years crop.

Hay and Grain.

General directions are probably
about all that the novice requires and
one of the best for both farmer and
fruit raiser is never to let the work
get behind. for if it once does it is
hard to catch up with it again, and
more or less loss may ensue thereby.
Hay should never lie exposed to the
elements and, unless on the immediate
coast, it should be raked within about
tweDty-four hours after cutting, and
II raked In right way-that is, follow
ing the mower-it will turn up in the
windows with the butts to the wealth
er, and another twenty -four hours
should see it in the bunch, the larger
the better, where it can slowly cure
and lie until convenient to stack.
Many bale without stacking, but a
better quality of hay can be made
where 1t is stacked.
Grain should be cut and stacked as
soon as fully ripe and dry, to prevent
deterioration by discoloration in foggy
weather. Where labor has to be hired
for most of the harvest work, it will
facilitate matters to put on extra help,
as 1T is often more economical to put
on two men for one day than to employ
one man for two days.
Don't, in the hurry of harvest, for
get some green feed for farm animals
at time when everything is dry.

has appointed committee to take up a
subscription for,the money. An attempt
to get special concessions from the rail
roads is also being made. There-will
be about 1000 men in camp.
1t is thought that the Chino factory
will this year run out II 900 tons of
refined sugar from about les, 900 tons
of beets grown at Chino, Anaheim and
Hueneme. IL is estimated that the
sugar will be marketable for about
81, 1860, 900, while the farmers will re.
ceive $435. 900 for the beets, and the
company will pay $125, 900 for fuel
oil. 1t seems very evident that the
sugar company is to net over half
million dollars this year from the
Chino factory output. There are
hundreds of thousands of acres of good
beet land scattered over California,
the farmers want to grow beets and the
people need the sugar from them.
The only obstacle to the production of
sugar to meet the requirements of
the entire country is lack of factor
les.

SPOKEN OF IN THIS COLUMN.
Pew Sensible Hints to Suit the Busy
AErieulturist.-Item That May
Benefit our Readers.
New Strawberry Culture.

In a recently contributed article to
Green's Fruit Grower, occurred the fol-
lowing on new method of strawberry
culture: | met that we'll known
strawberry and bulb specialist, Mr..
NJ. Crawford, the other day, and he
said it kept him pretty busy in these
days to unlearn many beliefs and prac-
tees which horticulturists had been
taught to consider indispensable for
the last forty years. One of these
things was that the soil must be mel
low and be constantly stirred to get
satisfactory results. Along this line
Mr.. Rivers of England. nurseryman
and originator of worldwide reputa.
ton, has given some experience which
knocks galley west the common
practice. Mr. Rivers has produced
some wonderful strawberries measur-
ing larger than any produced elsewhere
in the world, and he claims the secret
is only partially in the variety, the re-
suits being mainly in the way Of grow.
ing. He took six or eight inch flower
pots and tamped them nearly full of
rich compost, just as one would lamp
the soil around post. or the filing
over blast, putting in a little at
time. Over these he would lay
strawberry runner, held in place by
bit of stone, not even breaking the sur
face enough to bury the node. Con-
trary to what we have been taught,
the runners struck root, and grew like
a house atire, and on these plants were
grown the monstrous berries.
Mr.. Crawford had bed prepared
with rich compost in July and then
pounded it down solid with some-
thing, much as a street gutter is
pounded until the surface was as hard
as rich loan could be made. Into this
bed, strawberry plants from pots were
put without much disturbing of either
soil or ball, and the result was a most
wonderful growth of plants, which
certainly have the vigor to produce
mammoth berries next summer. A
friend who saw them in September
described the leaves as being nearly as
large as mans hand.
