BROWN BLOCKS GIFT
OF COUNTY TUNNEL
Promoters of Proposed Electric
Railroad Ask Use OF Prop
erty in Perpetuity

OAKLAND. May 22.-The board OF
supervisors was asked TO Sive away the
tunnel connecting Contra Costa and
Alameda counties today by promoters
of a proposed electric railroad TO be
constructed between Walnut creek and
Oakland. That the board did not do so
was due probably to District Attorney
Brown, who said that the history Of ell
public gifts 10 corporations showed the
folly OF turning over public property
without any restrictions
Brown advocated setting time limit
to the years during which the company
tunnel and suggested 10 or 15 years as
the proper number BY that time the
company would have given evidence
of its success sufficient TO warrant
building a tunnel of it's own. he said.
or If IL were failure il would nave no
need of the tunnel.
Brown also said that there could bs
no guarantee given that the present
W. Maltby. would not sell their fran
chise to some railroad.
Naphtaly said that such a provision
might overload the project at the start
and kill it. He gave his word that he
represented no one except himself and
corporation yet to be formed. He
in the corporation. but exhibited the
permit of the Contra Costa supervisors
TO use that end of the tunnel indeh-
nitely.
supervisor H. u rowe said IhaL the
Alameda end of the tunnel had cost
only $4,000. and that building the
mountain road to it's approach had
raised the cost considerably. Rowe
said that the company would light the
tunnel and provide gates TO the ap-
proaches.
Charles Buffers, speaking for the
people who still drive horses. suggested
the difficulties OF safeguarding horse
traffic on the road If electric cars
passed through the tunnel
Browns suggestion having prevailed.
the board set Tuesday morning for con-
Sidering the number of years during
which the company might use the tun-
mel.

THE POULTRY YARD
Observation-Disclosures

1t is not yet too late to caponize'
The duck laying season ends this
month.
The March-hatched pullets should
begin to lay.
All the old surplus stock should
now be marketed.
There is nothing better for poultry
during hot weather than charcoal.
Keep up the fresh water supply:
warm water is nauseating to the
stock.
Add linseedmeal to the soft feed,
and place some rusty iron in the
drinking vessels.
Queer that some folks never think
of providing shade for their hens in
hot weather.
Save some of the best young hens
for breeding purposes. Eggs from
thrifty two-year-old hens are pretty
sure to hatch.
Poultry manure is worth not less
than $12 ton. But If you store 1t
where it will get wet, it will not be
worth much of anything.
You might about as well throw
your hen manure into the creek as to
mix it with ashes or lime. Peat or
muck is the best to use an absorbent.
In feeding fowls it is best to scat
ter all grain well. If this is not done
the stronger and more pugnacious
fowls will drive the more timid and
weaker ones away from the feed and
the latter will not get their full share.
Give the hens a liberal amount of
food and care from now on until
they have gone through the exhaus-
tive process of growing new feath-
ers. They surely deserve the very
best of care instead of the neglect
which is often their portion.

TO SAVE THE
CHERRY TREES

The following advice is given out
by Prof c.. p. Gillette of the Colo
r,ado Agricultural College:
MANY of the cherry trees are be-
ing badly infested with the cherry
slug This is a very easy insect to
control, and it is hoped that no one
will allow his cherry trees to be de-
foliated at this time of the year,
which Is always a serious calamity
to the trees If it does not kill them
outright.
"There will be another brood of
this slug appearing about a month
later. and anything that can be done
to destroy the first brood will tend
to lessen the second.
1.-The best remedies to use, If
there are many trees to be treated,
are arsenate of lead, Paris green, or
white hellebore sprayed upon the
leaves. If arsenate of lead is used,
prepare by mixing one pound of the
poison in each 20 gallons of water.
If Paris green is used, prepare by
mixing one pound of the poison in
100 gallons of water. These poisons
are preferred providing there is no
fruit upon the trees.
"If the cherries are still upon the
trees IL is better to use white helle-
bore. Mix one ounce with each three
gallons of water. This poison is best
applied towards evening. 1t is a veg
etable poison and loses dts strength
in a few days upon the trees, but
when thoroughly applied is very eff
ficient in destroying the slugs.
'1f only n few trees are infested.
they may be thoroughly busted with
slal1ed lime or fine road dust either
of which will remove the slugs and
save the trees"

TREES BL0SS0MlNG
OUT OF SEASON

Walter Paddock of the Colorado
Agricultural college has this to say
regarding the unseasonable blossom
ing of fruit trees:
1t is not uncommon for fruit trees
CT all kinds to bear flowers in late
summer or in the early fall. This
tendency is more marked in the
semi-arid regions than in the humid
states, but the explanation is simple.
One writer reports an instance
where pile of weeds was burned
underneath an apple tree. The heat
from the fire was sufficient to shrivel
the leaves to the top of the tree on
the exposed side, but did not other
wise injure the tree. This was in
August and a month later the tree
came .into bloom on the parts which
had been injured.
This result was probably due to
the drying out of the buds by the eff
fects of the fire, an effect similar to
that produced by the low tempera-
ture during the winter months.
In somewhat similar way a lack
of water during the middle of the
summer causes the buds to dry out
and to become mature. Then, if wa
ter IS applied later, second growth
starts in and some of the blossom
buds unfold.
These unreasonable flowers do not
often set fruit. However, fine speci-
mems of the Red June apple were re-
ceived at the Agricultural College
last November. These specimens
were picked in an orchard in Utah
from trees which produced a normal
crop in June. Some weeks later the
, trees put forth partial second crop
of bloom and few fine specimens
matured.

Delta papers are in somewhat of
caustic confab as to the merits and
demerits of the Independent tele-
phone service. seeking to develop it
self in that section. Two telephone
systems, besides doubling the ex-
pense to telephone users, are a con-
stant nuisance and source of annoy
ance. The service given by the c. l.
orado Telephone Company is ade-
quate, and the cost is reasonable,
considering the sparsely settled re-
gion 1T permeates, the original cost
of building and maintenance. Those
who encourage and subscribe to in
dependent systems will regret it ear
ly and seriously. Cooperative sys-
tens are invariably badly managed,
never giving satisfaction. Cut them
