Water and Forest Convention

The California Water and Forest
Association concluded it's second annual
convention last week. The following
editorial reference to the convention
we take from the Sacramento "Record-
Union"
1T was notable convocation, and
its proceedings were history making.
1t was composed of representative men,
unselfshly giving their time and the
best product of their brains to the SUI
premest good of the entire State and of
all the people in it. They stood for
the scholarship, the public spirit, the
productive Industries, the business, the
commerce. the journalism, and the sea
and land transportation interests of the
coast"
"The transactions of the convention
suggest themes for debate for year
until the commission, to be SO formed
as to represent the Nation, the State
and the association, shall have studied
and reported upon the whole subject
OF the status of the laws relating to
forest conservation and water storage. !"
mo assault was made upon vested
interests, and yet no concession that
these must forever stand in the way
OF the supremer interests of the State
and the Nation. Such conclusions as
were reached upon these subjects were
mainly tentative and declaratory of
present belief and hope concerning the
permanent policy that must be adopt,
ed" -
THE convention realized, however,
that something could be done definitely
now, and needs to be done at once. 1t
therefore, resolved very properly that
to carry on the work of the association
and its examinations and surveys, there
must be use of public money, hereto
fore all its outlay having been met by
private contributions. 1t, therefore,
resolved to call upon Congress and the
Legislature for sufficient appropria-
tions to enable the work in hand to be
actively prosecuted. Itlikewise agreed
upon an important measure of legisla-
ton, namely, that by immediate law a
stop shall be put to the wasteful, care
less or wanton destruction of growing
TIMBER
"The convention realized that the
problems it has in hand are of exceed
ing gravity and relate not so much to
the present as to the future. The State
is to be congratulated upon the exist
ence of the association, upon the lofti-
ness of its purpose, and the public spirit
OF those engaged more prominently in
| its promotion

Death TO The Fly.

IT'S sad but true that picturesque means
of discouraging flies, such as window
boxes of curtain flowers, fancy wire
screens, etc, are not as effectual as one
could wish on hot summer day. Migno-
nette is supposed to be disliked by the
pests, but it does not keep them out of
rooms where it is placed. Some people
advise eucalyptus plants in all the rooms,
others washing the windows, etc, with a
strong solution of sassafras or quassia;
while all picture frames, etc, which flies
haunt, should be well washed in onion
water; but, though at times palliatives,
these are not perfect cures An old-fash-
toned but effective destroyer is said to be
a teaspoonful each of cream and brown
sugar we'll blended with half a teaspoon
full of freshly ground black pepper and
left about the room on plates-New York

Condition Of the Crops.

Following is the Weather Bureaus
weekly summary of crop conditions
The States of the Middle Rocky Noun
tain and Missouri and Mississippi Valleys
have experienced another, the third con-
secutive, week of intense heat, the maxi
these districts ranging above 1902 daily
during the week, many stations reporting
from 1902 to 1862 With an almost en-
tire absence of rain the crops in the re-
gion named have been subjected to the
most unfavorable conditions. In the
States lying Immediately to eastward of
the Mississippi river very high tcmpera-
lures have also prevailed, but the heat has
been less intense and its effects not so Sc
rious as in the districts to the westward.
On the Atlantic Coast very favorable tenn
perature conditions have prevailed, with
abundant rains, excessive and damaging
in portions of the Middle and South At
lantic States. On the Pacific Coast it has
been '.l and dry, with frost in Washing
ton ON the 18th.
The Corn crop as a whole in the great
Corn States of the central valleys has ma
terially deteriorated and sustained Sc
rious injury over the western portion of
the Corn belt, especially in Missouri, Ne
braska, Kansas and Oklahoma. A very
large part of the crop is late, however,
and this has withstood the trying condi-
IF RI
and with early rains will still make a fair
yield. This is particularly applicable in
Iowa. Nebraska and portions of Kansas
and Northern Missouri. The early Corn
in Central and Southern Missouri, por
tions of Eastern Kansas, Arkansas and in
the Central and West Gulf States has
been irreparably injured. In the Upper
Ohio Valley Corn, while needing rain,
has improved, and in the Atlantic Coast
districts the crop has made excellent pro-
gress.
Winter Wheat harvest is about finish
ed, except in the more northerly portion
of the Atlantic Coast districts, where in
some sections it has been retarded by
rain. Harvesting has begun in the North
Pacific Coast region under very favora-
Bile conditions. Over the southern por-
ton of the spring Wheat region
spring Wheat has ripened prema-
turely and the general prospect is
less promising than previously reported.
In the northern portion, however, the
outlook continues favorable. Harvesting
is expected to begin in Northern MINES
ota by the 18th. In Oregon spring Wheat
is needing rain.
Oats suffered in common with other
crops from heat and drouth in the States
of the central valleys. Harvesting is now
progressing in the more northerly sec
tons.
Haying has been retarded by rains in
the New England and the Middle Allan
tic States, but has made good progress in
the Ohio end Upper Mississippi Valleys,
but good crop is generally indicated in
the lake region, Upper Ohio Valley and
extreme Northwest.
The weather conditions have been
highly favorable for Tobacco in the At
lantic Coast States, but the crop is gener-
ally in need eff rain in the Ohio Valley
and is suffering severely in the western
portions Of Kentucky.
