The Honey Crop

The bee-keepers of California are all
feeling very happy the present year. All
the present writing, May 2Sth, the pros
poets are exceedingly favorable for a
very large crop of honey. The honey
the present season is also of very excel
lent quality. Even old Mt. Hymettus
never furnished any better honey thar
is being produced most abundantly in
the apiaries of Southern California al
the present time The writer has made
a great study of honey and has many
times acted as expert judge at some OF
the leading honey exhibitions of the
country Yet he is free to say that he
has never sampled any honey in his life
that exceeds in flavor, texture and gen
eral excellence honey that has been
produced the present season in Southern
California. Some most excellent honey
from the apiary of Mr.. Taylor of Perris
has just been received, and all who have
tasted of it pronounce it as incompara-
bly, superior. 1t is stated that San Di-
ego county alone will ship over fifty
carloads of honey the coming season
1t is probable that the other honey pro-
ducing counties will not be whit be-
hind San Diego

Beekeepers' Exchange

Apropos to the above, it may be urged
that all our bee-keepers should hasten to
join the Southern California Bee-Keep-
ers' exchange. 1t is certain that bee
keepers will never get the price for their
honey that it's excellence demands until
they cooperate to the fullest extent.
1t is true that cooperation can never do
all that it ought to do and
all that it is desirable that
it should do until all join in
the cooperation. "Co-operation, MOI
competition" should be the motto oe
every producer. AS long as any consid-
cradle number stand aloof from organ
ization, just so long will cooperation
be handicapped. This, we take it, is why
the Southern California Fruit exchange
has not been entirely successful. 1t has
done wonders, indeed, may be said to
have almost saved the citrus fruit in
dustry from ruin, and yet it has been
so seriously embarras seed by lack of
cooperation, and ofttimes even antag-
onism, from those who should be its bes.
friends, that it has not been able to ac-
complish the good work which many de-
sire. and which it certainly would do
if all would join the association and
heartily engage to make it as perfect
as it is possible for such an organiZa
ton to become. 1t is to be hoped tha.
selfishness, greed or no other hindrance
will keep any of our bee-keepers from
joining the Bee-Keepers' exchange.

Olive Caterpillars

The olive caterpillars have attained
their full growth and have dropped from
the trees to enter the ground, where
they will pupate. In this region, al
though they came into the orchards in
armies, they have done very little harm.
The reason for this is that the orchards
have been thoroughly sprayed and thus
the caterpillare were so thoroughly >e-
stroyed that they really did very little
harm. 1t is true that they destroyed
not a few of the blossoms, but as the
trees have blossomed very full in the
orchards examined. there will still be
plenty of fruit We have had one very
efficient friend in the fight against these
olive caterpillars. in large black ground
beetle, a species of Caloscma. This in
sect crawls up the trees and runs rap
idly about the twigs and feeds extern
slvely on these and other caterpillars.
A large black grub, possibly the larvae
of this same beetle, is also an efficient
aid in destroying the army worm. l
have never seen the grub in the trees,
would not be surprised to learn that It
might sometimes leave its usual haunts
on the surface of the earth and climb
trees in search of it's prey. These bee
ties belong to the great family Carabi-
dae, which is a very important family
of insects All the insects of this fam
lily are predacious, and feed entirely
upon other insects. They thus destroy
hosts of our insect pests and do untold
good. They are easily recognized, as
they are black in color, have long legs,
straight, cylindrical antennae-the horn
like organs attached to their heads
and strong jaws. They probably do
nearly as much good as the lady bird
beetles, the Coccinellids.

small black spots, are very common

ALL READY TO PAY UP

$4,000 in Warrants.

This Call-If You Have Any of
Them Dig Them Up and
Present Them.
city r~sszsso nsucxpthy vesterd,

City fseN E1CkRthy yesterday
issued call which will pay off about
100000 of outstanding warrants, this
sum being the amount of money in the
treasury received from taxes. OF this
sum $4,000 will be applied to the pay
ment of general warrants and $4,000 to
the payment of special warrants The
city's floating Indebtedness will be
materially reduced by the payment of
these warrants and much interest will
be stopped. In fact, nearly all the per
cent. warrants will be paid. Last spring
the council passed an ordinance reduc-
ing the rate of interest on outstanding
warrants from Z per cent. 10 8 per cent,
so that warrants issued since that time
only draw 6 per cent. interest.
Warrants on various funds will by
this call be paid up to the following
dates:
On the general fund, to Jan. l, 1897.
81 On the light fund, to Feb. H. 1897.
On the salary fund, to May ., 1897.
On the street and alley fund, to April
q, 1897.
On the police fund to Feb. 5. 1897

on the health fund. to May 5. 1897.
On the street grade fund. TO July 10,

the sprinkling funds VIII be paid UP.
On the special alley fund warrants
9610 and 9612 will be redeemed and on
Improvement District No. |, warrants
for 1898, 1899, 1885, 1896, 1887, and 1888.
In addition to the call for warrants
the city yesterday called in sewerage
bonds to the amount of $1,000, notice
being sent to Blair a. Co. of New York
city, agents for the bonds, that these
would be payable Feb. ! and that in
sterest would cease on that date. The
bonds to be redeemed are Nos. %. "a. %,

indebtedness to STAG, 900.
4 Mayor Harrington proposes to con-
suit the aldermen in regard to issuing
bonds sufficient to take up all the bal
ance of the outstanding warrants. 1t is
believed that the bonds can be placed
at 5 per cent. interest. so that much
would be saved in interest by issuing
bonds instead of paying the higher rate
of interest on warrants. 1t is likely too
that the sewer systems will be further
extended the coming year, sewers being
demanded toward the eastern and
western limits of the city. 1t may be
that bonds will be issued for sewer pur-
poses.
