PRINCIPAL SPEAKER DELAYED
Washouts Keep J. 3. Neff from At
tending Farmers Institute of
Los Angeles County
Special to The Herald.


PASADENA, Jan. 1.-THE opening
session of the Farmers Institute of
Los Angeles county at the board of
trade rooms this afternoon was cheat
ed out of one of it's rarest treats in
the absence of j. B. Neff of Fullerton,
who was to have conducted institute
as the representative of the University
of California but who was delayed by
washouts and could not be present to
open the first session. The institute
was we'll attended despite the weather
and c. A. Day, horticultural inspector,
opened and presided at the meeting.
G. G.. Chapman of Fullerton gave an
excellent address on the topic of
"Orange Growing" and said in part:
"The culture of the orange and
lemon is one of the most fascinating
and at the same time most discourag
ing of branches of agriculture these
fruits probably requiring greater in
telligence, more constant and closer
attention than any other fruits grown
for profit in this country.
This is accounted for in part by the
great length of time required to ma
ture them, the numerous and persistent
enemies which prey upon them and
their delicate and susceptible nature,
the large money value represented and
the natural interest arising from
watching the ever changing phenomena
incident to their development to a high
state of beauty, succulency and use
fulness."

PASADENA, Jan. 11.-Frantically
telephonlng the police and raising the
neighborhood with her hysterical cries
for her lost child, Mrs. A. B. Newell Of
Summit avenue this evening started y
chase that spread over the city In
search of little Jamie Newell, 21s
years old, who had strayed away from
the parental roof and was not to be
found when 6 o'clock and supper tirue
came.
The chase organized and different
routes were taken. Finally one of tile
searching parties found the little tot
serenely enjoying most rosy dream or
life abroad. He had wandered nearly
helf a mile to 1855 Chestnut avenue,
where he was perched upon curbing
watching the cars pass by, with all the
serenity of q naval commander viewing
a maneuver of one of his big battle
ships on a calm sea.
The chase had been on for an hour
when the miniature quarry was finally
discovered, and when taken home he
cried, though 1t was dark and the home
fireside was cheerful. Supper cheered
the little fellow, and the mother sings
