PLANT GARDEN COMPANY.
ORGANIZATION Effected.

plant garden company has been
organized in Butte County. This is a
result of the movement to purchase
the land required for the site of the
Governments garden. The company
has been incorporated. OF its pur-
poses the Chico Enterprise says:
The Plant Garden Company is the name OF
the new company which will soon file letters
OF Incorporation with the Clerk Of Butte Coun-
ty. This company has been organized by those
who have subscribed to the fund for the
ing TO Chico OF the Plant Introduction Garden.
This corporation has been organized with
ca pital stock OF $500, which amount is divided
into 1900 shares at So each. The committee
of the Chamber of Commerce which was ap-
pointed some time ago to look after the in
terests OF Chico in connection with the Plant
INTRODUCTION Garden are named as the directors
of the pany and are Messrs. Crew, Roper,
Nichols. Lusk and O'Connor.
The object OF forming this corporation is that
to all of those who have contributed TO the
fund for the purchase OF the Entler Tract
may be issued shares in proportion to the
amounts they subscribed. These shares will
answer as receipts for the amount contributed
and in case the Government ever relinquishes
the land il will revert to the original owners,
the stockholders in the Plant Garden Com
pany Then any distribution which is deemed
advisable by the stockholders could be made
Of the land.
At the present time the land will be decided
from Mr Entler to this company in the name
OF the directors, and they will in turn give
TO the Government a deed in trust for the
property.
This course will be taken just as soon as the
bank and the business Will be closed up as

COPPER IN MENDOCINO.
Discovery Is Made in Vicinity OF
Eden Valley.

The Ukiah Dispatch Democrat re-
ports that a promising ledge of copper
was recently uncovered near Eden
Valley, in Mendocino County. The
journal in question says in part:
Robert Singleton and William Ellis were
making a road from Mr. Singletons place
out to the public road and struck the top
OF the ledge. little prospecting developed
the presence of clearly defined ledge. ap-
parently of very considerable wealth and ex-
tent. Rich specimens OF ore We're taken out
length OF the ledge and for twenty feet or
more across IL.
A pit about six feet deep was dug and a
clearly defined wall was found on the east
wall found quite a body of malachite or
carbonate OF copper, which so far has In
depth. This malachite IS very rich and it is
said that this is the first ore OF this character
ever found in Mendocino County
Nothing has yet been done to locate the
too superficial to determine the surrounding
formation, but from surface indications II Is
said 10 BE- a contact vein with ser2entine on
one side and sandstone or slate on the other,
as both the later occur in close proximity
on the west side OF the vein.
Specimens Of rich copper ore have from
time to time been a1oeon found In the yicnity OF

was said. This part of the proceedings
was in substance as follows:
Professor shaw-Co- operation is not entirely
new IN connection with private enterprises.
me peach growers have contributed $1,000 to
overcome the ravages OF the peach moth. The
apple growers at Watsonville requested the
assistance OF the university to overcome the
effects OF the moth. and $4,000 was contributed
by the people OF Monterey and Santa Cruz
counties. The sum OF $500 for two years was
contributed toward the interests of the
paraguS growers for overcoming rust and an
investigation in their line. The Walnut Grow
ers Association also CO. operated extensively.
The importance OF the cereal industry is
worthy Of consideration The question is how
TO obtain the necessary funds for this work
when the university is carrying in this
behalf all that 1t possibly can carry from
financial standpoint.
Mr.. Friedlander-How is the money obtained
State?
Professor shaw-The millers have been very
active there. but the State also has made
heavy appropriations for experimental work.
The money is appropriated for a special line
OF Investigation. For instance, for dairying.
which is special feature; the money goes for
that particular line of work. one year the
people. making active effort, proposed to ask
the Legislature to set aside S25 coo for the
special investigation OF one production. it ap-
pears TO me our cereal industry is as lmpor-
tsnt as that
Professor Wickson-Co-operation with the
counties at Santa Cruz and Monterey has add
cd an equivalent OF 81. OO0, coo.
Mr.; Briggs-What we require is a who
from point that has been gained elsewhere.
Professor Shaw-The matter. particularly Of
developing new varieties from cross -fertiIlzing
requires very close watching all the way
through. A green farmer is entirely out of
the question.
Mr.. Frledlander-We should endeavor to
mold public opinion so that at the next Legis-
lature II Will be possible TO get an appropria-
tion OF Seo00-s300O for two years-for the use
Of the experimental station, with a view 10
attacking this problem in its very broadest
sense.
Mr.. Brigss-We shall accomplish nothing in
a general discussion. We should lay down a
platform to serve a guide that will be OF
some value TO Us. II viii be a difficult mat
ter TO get the farmers TO contribute anything
or do anything in the way Of experiment In
the first place. wheat farmers practically
busted" large percentage OF them are
renters and would not care to make expert
ments for the landlord somebody else and
derive 10 benefit themselves. Lay out plans
select men in different places all over the
State who have the financial ability to go on
with the work and can make the experiments
for their own benefit well others in

OLIVE CROP SHORTAGE.
Horticultural Commissioner Cooper
Attributes Failure to or Year.

Elwood Cooper, Horticultural Com
missioner for California, tells TIE
Santa Barbara Independent that
there will be a shortage in the olive
crop of the State this season.
Mr. Cooper said that the olive crop in
Southern California this year would be a
Comparative failure. The olives were Just be-
ginning to set and that II was evident that
the crop on his ranch would be far below
the average Reports from other districts
in the southern section OF the State he said
indicated that this condition was quite gem
eral
tributed the shortage, Mr.. Cooper stated that
he did not know of any except that
the olive tree thrifty producer only
every other year and that this year was IAN
off season" The same conditions he said
prevailed in the Mediterranean district the
recognized home of the olive, and the same
peculiarities OF the tree were noticeable in
Southern California.
The olive tree. said Mr. Cooper differs
from most of the other productive trees he
cause IT never gets rest. He cited the peach
tree as an instance to prove the contrary
condition. tree which blooms and produces
its luscious wealth within four or five months
while Il remained in restful barrenness as
TO fruit and foliage during the remaining
months of the year. II the olive tree he
said could enjoy the benefit of a similar
season of rest there would be little douht
as to the regularity of its productiveness in
both quality and quantity.
