EXPERT COMPLETES
TESTS WITH FRUIT
Shows Growers and Packers
How Perishable Stuff
Should Be Handled.

BERKELEY, June 25.-G. Harry
Powell, the pomological expert sent out
to California by the Department OF
Agriculture at Washington to expert
ment with citrus and deciduous fruits.
with a view to determining how ship
ping and storing methods might be
improved. has completed his work. His
tests have been made while co-operat-
ing with the State University.
Mr. Powell spent six months In
Southern California working on the
orange crop with growers and ship
pers For the last month he has been
in the field of deciduous fruits in this
part of the State. He announces that
by cooling peaches and pears before
they are started on the long journey to
the East they can be picked when
nearly ripe and then land in the East
In perfect condition. Heretofore they
have been picked when green and this
has operated against their being in
goods condition upon arrival IN the
East.
Mr. Powell demonstrated to citrus
growers In the south that by icing the
fruit before 1t was started east 1t
could be kept intact on the journey and
but a very small per cent of the lot
would be spoiled en- route It is, esti-
mated that his experiments in this field
and his instructions to growers and
packers have saved them hundreds of
thousands Of dollars.

PROFESSOR TO STUDY
FLEA BEETLES WORK
Peculiar Pest in Vineyards
Will Engage Attention of
Viticultural Expert.

BERKELEY, June 25.-Professor BIZ
oletti of the viticulturai department of
the College of Agriculture has been
informed of the work of the fiea-beetle
upon vines that produce the Flame
Tokay grape, an imported variety, at
Florin. and will leave next week to
investigate the operations of the insect.
E. T. French, a vineyardist at Florin,
who has watched this beetle for fif-
teen years. says he believes the pest
is responsible for berries dropping off
the vine. the insects eating the berry
stems, so that the stems dry before the
berries are ripe and the fruit falls off
worthless.
Professor Bioletti reports that he has
recently made tests of the Lenoir va
riety Of grape at Fresno, in the hope
of demonstrating that il can resist the
Anaheim disease. n. B. Pierce, an ex-
pert on viticulture connected with the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, had made the statement that this
variety was best for resisting the Ana
helm disease. The Anaheim disease has
been subject OF special study by Mr..
Pierce for twenty years. Professor BIZ
-oletti says the Lenoir proved to be as
easy victim of the Anaheim disease
as any other variety. Mr.. Pierce has
admitted. IN a letter TO Bioletti, his in
ability to find a cure for the disease or
to determine Its cause. Professor Bio
letti will now experiment with hybrid
plants in the hope of finding or devel-
oping a variety that will not be sus-
ceptible to the Anaheim nalady.

cilities Of this county improved and is
actively at work on a plan to better the
service. The mail from San Rafael. Sau-
salito and other intermediate points to
Mill Valley must pass through the San

mail from this place to those towns. The
postal authorities have been asked for
direct pouch to each Of these points THIS
petition, if granted. will save several
hours delay daily
A rural delivery system for NH valley,
Corte MADEIRA, Larkspur. Escalle. Kent
field, Ross and San Anselno is under dis
cussion. The demand for homes IN this
district by San Francisco people ts be-
coming very active. Many attractive
homes are under the course Of erection.
The lack Of postal delivery Is plainly felt
by the newcomers from San Francisco
and other cities, and the installation OF
rural delivery system will be the means
OF increasing the value OF the district as
a residence spot. Members OF the board
drove over the county few days ago
and secured signatures TO a petition for
rural delivery. The board communicated
with Congressman McKinlay in regard to
the rural delivery system. The aid OF

ALMOST KILLED
INSIDE BALLOON
T. Larsen Has Narrow Escape
From Death at Exhibition
of Montgomery's Aeroplane
WIND PREVENTS FLIGHT
Fierce Gusts Wreck Gas Bag
and Flying Machine Fails
to Rise From Mother Earth

OAKLAND, June 25.-When the bal
loon which was to have been used TO
raise Professor John J. Mon; gomery s
aeroplane at Emeryville this afternoon
was rent into tatters by the heavy
wind, T. Larsen, one of the professors s
assistants, reeled from the mass of torn
canvas and tangled cordage. Stagger-
ing across the race track, from which
the ascension was to have been made,
he fell insensible in ditch at the side
of the course. Larsen had been sta
toned inside the balloon while it was
being inflated and was overcome by the
fumes of the flaming gasoline Had 1t
not been for the destruction of the big
gas bag by the wind it is probable he
would have met death in his canvas
prison. for when the rending of the
sides of the balloon allowed him to
escape into the open air he was at the
point of death from suffocation and was
unable to speak
Drs 0. D. Hamlin and II. p. Travers,
who were among the spectators. were
called to the aid of the strangling
workman, who was removed to the
emergency hospital of the race track
After several hours of hard work they
pronounced him out of danger and he
was taken to his home in San Fran
cisco.
That the proposed exhibition of the
areoplane was not success To-day was
in no way the fault of the machine or
OF it's inventor. Throughout the after
noon a heavy wind, almost gale,
swept over the race track, and a num-
ber of old-time aeronauts VINO were
on the ground advised the professor not
to attempt the ascension. Unwilling
to disappoint the large crowd which
had gathered to witness the exhibition.
Professor Montgomery waited for more
than an hour, and then, as the force of
the wind seemed to have lessened some
what, he gave the order to have the
balloon inflated for the ascension.
AS soon as the swelling canvas be-
gan TO present an extended surface to
the force of the wind there was trouble.
The great bag began to sway and re-
peatedly tore itself free from those who
held it, until the grip of many hands
on the canvas ripped the fabric, allow
ing the wind to get inside. A moment
later the big balloon hung in shreds
from the guy ropes. In order that those
who paid the admission to the grounds
to day may have an opportunity to see
the aeroplane in action, free exhibit
tion will be given on date to be set
later.
