UNIT PLAN FOR PROFITS
1t is this very extensive class of in
once the inspiration and the clients of
the numerous companies formed and
forming whose plans embrace the set
ting out of vast plantations of eucalyp-
tus trees. Some of these companies
offer stock for sale in the general en-
grove into units and sell these units
often the unit comprises five acres
outright to the purchaser
Under its contract the, company gives
all the attention and protection re-
quired until the grove comes to matur-
ity AT maturity the company perhaps
becomes a bidder for the trees. cuts
them down and hauls the logs away to
the mills.
Thus tie actual owners of any GER
tain grove may personally take no part
in bringing the trees to maturity or
in disposing of them. They merely in
vest their savings in the, first instance
and then sit tight until the California
soil and the California sunshine have
done their work and it is time to gath
er the profits.

Especial Dispatch TO The Call
LOS ANGELES. March 5.-Sentiment
in favor of committing infractors of
the automobile speed ordinance of this
city TO the chain gang was increased
today by the third serious accident in
one week, in which w. W. White a
wealthy orange grower of San Ber-
nardino was run down at the corner
of Twenty-ninth street and Central
avenue and probably fatally injured
Whites skull was fractured and but
little hope is held out for his re-
coVery.
A second infraction of the speed law
according to the proposed ordinance
would result in the commitment OF
the violator to the chain gang for a
term of days, this term to be in
creased with each additional infrac-
tion. A canvass of the councilmen
showed that the ordinance would have
the support of every member.
The automobile dealers of the city
are greatly opposed to the reckless
driving thet has figured in the many
recent accidents and will undoubtedly
support the adoption of the chain gang
ordinance.

MUCH MONEY IN
GROVE OF GUMS
Eucalyptus Culture More Profitable Than
Fruits on California Lands

The man or woman who has awak-
ened to the alluring financial possi-
bilities in the culture of eucalyptus
trees for commercial purposes will al
most Immediately come face to face
with this important question. Shall 1
secure land and plant my own euea-
lyptus grove or shall I invest in a unit
out by companies engaged in this work
on a big scale? The wisest answer to
this question is governed by the in
dividual conditions.
The farmer who owns the land he
tills and lives upon it, who is proficient
in the growing of crops of many kinds,
readily becomes an intelligent grower
of the new profit making tree. and If
he is able to allot from ten to a hun
dred acres of good soil to this culture
it would seem that no person or COM
pany could make stake for him out
of eucalyptus any better than he can
do it for himself
INTEREST OF WAGE FARMERS
But the interest is not confined to the
farmers. Nearly every one who has
more than an inkling of the new sub
ject is ready to become a grower and
a money maker. He takes the word
of the government experts for the
large and certain profits to be made.
He may also obtain from the reports
of the government experts exact In
formation which will lead him to pro-
ceed with his plantation if he wants
to do the actual work himself. But

MONOPOLY FOR CALIFORNIA

The United States department of ag-
rfculture has made the statement that
since California eucalyptus groves
must. in the main, supply the future
hardwood which the United States will
be able to obtain. it would pay the
owners of the best orchards and vine
yards in the state today to uproot their
fruit trees and grapevines and plant all
their best land to blue gum, red gum
sugar gum and the other most promis-
ing species. as particular conditions
make this or that species preferable
This is a bold statement when one
considers the millions invested in fruit
and grapesend berries and the millions
which have been made from these crops

suits him best before he invests his
savings.
AS great eucalyptus boom seems in
evitable in California. it is possible that
unsubstantial concerns Will slip into
the field and victimize the investor. but
the investor who looks before ae leaps
will usually be able to avoid mistakes.
There is nothing about this new in
dustry which is beyond the immediate
perception of the layman- He can
judge of the prospects which the plan
of this or that company offers its in
vestors and make his decision.
Under existing conditions in Califor-
MIA IT is possible for the bona fide eU-
calyptus plantation company TO make
very liberal offer to the investor and
still be assured of very satisfactory
profit for itself. For the profits-in eu-
calyptus are not due TO any clever
scheme which men have devised.
PHILANTHROPY OF SOIL
The philanthropy OF the scheme Is
tle philanthropy of a soil and climate
which never fail, abetted by the fact

other state of the United States will
the extremes of temperature permit its
successful culture.

truth about what is being done and

reader as fabrication. for the possi-
| oilties are astonishing. Happily. any
person can secure official reports and
bulletins upon the subject by applying
TO the various government sources from
which such literature is supplied. The
bureau OF forestry of the United States
department of agriculture, the expert
ment station of the University OF Call
fornia, the California state board Of
forestry, and the Forestry Society Of
California are disseminating timely In
formation in the bulletins and book

tative documents are freely and con-
stantly quoted by plantation companies
which are operating on a legitimate
basis.

BERT PHILLIPS
DISCOVERS REMEDY
Losses Caused Sheepmen in New Mex
ico by Rubber Weed May Be
Counteracfed


For several years past the sheep.
men of the Southwest have suffered
serious losses from disease known
among the Mexican herders a pin
que
"Pingue' is popularly supposed to
be caused by eating either the leaves
or roots of a plant which has in the
last few years been quite prominent in
the public eye as the rubber plant or
rubber weed"
Whether this plant is true rubber
plant or not is matter which does
not interest the sheepmen so much as
some remedy for the sickness that fol-
lows it's eating by their sheep. On
the Carson National Forest in New
Mexico, Forest Ranger Bert Phillips,
In whose district great many sheep
had recently died from pingue, after
making a study of the sickness, sug-
gested to the sheepmen whose animals
were dying with it, that drenches of
.isgt~ water and salt might prove eff
ficacious.
The materials for the remedy were
so quickly obtained and the remedy
SO easily administered, that several of
the owners gave the plan trial. The
sick sheep were drenched every hour
with liberal doses of the mixture with
the result that animals which before
drenching were unable to stand, were
inside of twenty-four hours. eating and
running around with the rest of the
herd apparently as we'll as ever.
While the government experts have
not yet made study of this disease or
given the suggested remedy official
sanction the remedy itself is so appar-
emily harmless and unobjectionable
that considering the results obtained
by its use, there seems to be no posi-
Die danger in giving 1t full publicity.
The sheepmen can, in this manner,
give it more extended trials and pos.
slbly save themselves from the serious
losses which the eating of this weed
by stock has heretofore caused.
r The disease will be carefully studied
and the results of administering this
remedy watched with view to cor.
recting any error in it's use should it
not prove of as great value as is ex-
pected. Meantime, every sheepman
whose sheep are sick or dying from
pingue will, no doubt, be only too
eager to give this simple remedy of
hot water and salt drenches, every
hour, good trial, because the annual
losses have been serious ones for the
flock masters of the Southwest where
the disease of sickness appears to be
most prevalent at the present time.
