Santa, Barbara. Cal, August l.
Many of the inhabitants of the town
of Los Animos, which has been the
center of seismic disturbances since
last Sunday, have left for places out

who have remained could not abandon
their business.
The town of Los Alamos is situated
about midway between Santa Inez and
Santa Maria. in the long. narrow val.

Although no more severe earthquake
shocks have been experienced since
1880 last night, the people are still

have not already fed from their
homes are prepared to leave in case
the disturbance continues.
Saved From Serious Fire.
DR.. H. C. Bagby, of Santa Maria,
who was guest at the home of d. P.
Whitney, undoubtedly saved the bust,
ness section Of the town from seri.
Gus fire, When the earthquake oc.
cured a lighted lamp was upset and
set fire to the place. Without
thought for his own safety DR.. Bagby
rushed upstairs and found Mrs Whit
ney vainly fighting the flames and
seemingly surrounded by them. Draw.
ing her from her place of danger,
he beat out the fire with blankets and
thus saved a life and large portion
of the business section.
Bouders Torn From Mountain Side.
Parties from Lompoc and outlying
districts have reached Los Alamos
with stories of havoc in the hills. A
great landslide carrying down hun
dreds of tons of earth occurred near
the Hoover ranch. The road from
Lompec was buried for so feet AS
far as the eye can reach from this
grade TO that tnefe are spots on the
mountain side where huge boulders
were sent laundering down the val
leys.
John R. Drum, a mountain farmer,
reports a road-destroying landslide
in Drum canyon. The face of the
hills is charged with noises which
Drum describes as the most terrify.
ing sounds he ever heard.
The oil wells around the town of
Los AIamos seem not to have suffered.
Since the beginning Of the earthquake
shocks the temperature has been op-
pressive, as much heat apparently
coming from the earth as from the
sun, which, for the most part of the
time. has been shining brightly.

Editor Journal:
In your kind editorial of yesterday I'M
der the caption: "Presbyterians. Wake
Up" there is slight evidence that some
of your editorial writers do not consult
your news columns closely.
In your reports of the meeting of the
Presbyterian synod during the latter part
of last November you told of the resolu-
ton that was unanimously passed by that
body TO raise $50 600 at once for the es-
tablishment of a college in this state. A
board of trustees was also appointed by
the synod to push the matter to immedi-
ate completion. This board consists of
Revs. J. w. Walden, A. L. Henderson,
c. c. Carson, d. d. Brannen and Messrs.
c. f. Montgomery and c. L. Hughes.
The board has been busily at work since
November formulating plans for an ag-
gressive campaign.
We hope to have a first-class male col
lege in operation wi,hin twelve months
somewhere in the state. The location will
depend upon several circumstances.
We appreciate your concern for our al
legged somnolence. At the same time we
might throw out the gentle intimation
that you read your news columns little
more closely. ID. w. BRANNEN.

is THE SEED NECESSARY
TO PRODUCE A PLANT

Editor Journal;
1 have the information that farmer in
Maryland had the following experience,
and as ne Journal Is the vehicle for dis
pensing information win you kindly fur
nish the facts of the experience to the
public.
This farmer, to get rid of weeds made
the following experiment: He sowed one
and one-half bushels of salt on plot of
ground 10 feet square. the plot being COW
cred with weeds. In a short time the
weeds all died. He then covered the plot
with clay The next spring the weeds
came up thicker than before. He again
applied the same quantity of salt to the
plot, and the weeds died as before. The
next spring blue grass came up thickly
on the plot There was no blue grass
about nor had there ever been any. Why
the blue grass?
] answer by the following suggestion:
The blue grass was the outcome of condi-
ticns favorable to blue grass. In general
sense. did not everything result from IA
vorable conditions? Are the seed merely
something deposited to insure perpetual
ton through want of favorable conditions?
1 am satisfied that this is true, and all
successful agriculture and. in fact success
in everything is the result of favorable
conditions
Because 1t is easier to propagate from
seeds. plants or cuttings does not prove
that it is a better way than propagation
through discovered favorable conditions.
We have spontaneous combustion, which
is the result of favorable conditions. We
have the toad stool from favorable con-
ditions. Why not have plants from the
same cause? w. A. JOHNSON.

often wonder how I got along without

should be rugged up for blacksmithing.
Build hearth Of stone and ordinary clay

be left at the proper place for the admis-

two or three sizes of heading tools. Steel
punches for hot iron are also necessary.
but these can be made.
After some experience, many other tools
can be made that come handy. Much OF
the equipment mentioned can often be got

smiths. Collect all kinds OF scrap iron.
bolts. old horseshOes, etc. from about the
farm. Much useful iron may often be got
ten for a trifie at public sales. Old horse
shoes welded together and worked out are
very useful for making nails. rivets. links
for chains, etc. I have been using for sew
eral years heavy farm chain made en-
tirely from old hOrseshoes. AS to the ac-
tual work in this line, many valuable
hints may be gotten from a good-natured
blacksmith. One may need instruction
particularly on the working and temper
ing OF STEEL For time the novice may
be discouraged by his seeming awkward
ness, but after he gets the set of his ham
mer and the hang Of his tOngs. some ex-
perience in welding, etc, there will be
little repairing that need be taken away
from the farm.
Put in the other end of the building a
bench or table. Provide a cross-cut hand

Short Points.
Farm and Ranch

N.
There is no economy in growing q cron
OF grain. harvesting It and leaving the
ground bare until next seed time. Next
can June corn, cow peas. sorghum or
fall potatoes, or even sweet potatoes. NAV
be grown after harvest These crops. or
any Of them, are therefore that much
clear gain. Farmers. the same as other
men. should push their business. to keen
other business men from pushing them.
Farming is the most independent BUSH
ness known to men. Why? Because IT is
the only business by which men can be
fed and clothed without assistance from
elsewhere.
A country home without a plentiful SUD-
ply Of fruits and vegetables, is not a home.
In the higher sense OF that term. but sim
ply place 10 stay. Some walls. a roof.
and a fireplace. are all right enough but
II takes something more TO constitute
home.
In no way can the surplus of fruit and
vegetables grown on the farm be better
disposed Of than by putting them up for
winter use. Dried or canned they will
save many a doctors bill through the
long winter months.
When men don't do their plain duty they
always suffer the legitimate consequences.
IL is the duty OF every farmer to make
his land yield as much as he can make IL
yield. II he makes no effort to do this.
he is delinquent. and should not complain
when poverty presses.
Some farmers have caused an acre of
land TO produce more than 200 bushels Of
corn. and others have caused an acre to
yield three and even four bales of cotton.
Others make fifteen bushels OF corn and
one-third Of a bale. thus showing that
there Is more difference In men than in
land.
