ARE BEST IN YEARS
10000 Acres of Potatoes to Be
Planted in County
Special Dispatch 10 The Call


STOCKTON, May San Joaquin
county's grain and fruit crop prospects
are the best in years. The wheat and
barley acreage is large.
The warm weather has had a ten
dency to dry UP the volunteer crop of
feed, and 1t is possible that pasture
land may be affected.
The hay market is inactive and the
new crop will begin to arrive next
week. The country surrounding Stock
ton will cut very little hay this year,
as the farmers intend to harvest their
crops for grain.
The old crop of potatoes is being
cleaned up and the growers are en-
gagged in planting Burbanks. The acre
age that will be planted in this county
is estimated at 10000.
The produce dealers expect to be
handling red onions soon. The crop is
about ready to be dug and for the next
two months shipments will be made.
Preparations are being made for
planting beans, which will begin on a
large scale about the middle OF the
month.
The fruit growers are jubilant The
orchards are loaded with fruit
Cherries are bringing good prices and
the best quality will be in next week
San Joaquin county cherry orchards
supply the state during the early part
of the season.
Fresh asparagus is still in the mar
ket, but will not be handled to any ex-
tent as soon as the warm weather sets
in. Green peas are of good quality.

VALLEJO. May 2.-Louis Sanders to-
day announced the formation last Sat
urday of the Solano county anti
smelter association, of which he has
been elected president, and which has
membership of a large number of
farmers and residents of the "smelter
zone" in the southern part of the
county The association has been
formed for the purpose of employing
attorneys and taking independent legal
action asinst the Selby smelling and
lead company. which has plant at
Vallejo Junction.
1t is charged that the Selby company
is in contempt of the>superior court of
Solano county through its failure to
obey an injunction ordering il to abate
its alleged nuisance between March 10
and November Is of each year, and
that the county officials have failed to
take proper action against the COM
pany. In discussing the formation of
the association Sanders said:
The works of the Selhy smelling and
lead company. which are located at
Vallejo Junction, throw off daily be-
tween 65 and 81 tons of sulphurous acid
and sulphuric acid.
These poisons are thrown by the
prevailing west wind upon an area in
Solano county between Benlcla ana
Vallejo. and are not only destroying g
crops and livestock, but are jeopardiz-
ing the health and even the lives of
residents in d district about seven
miles in length and almost as much in
/ depth.
After years of litigation. the Selby
company was ordered by the courts to
abate the dangerous nuisance between
March Is and November Is in each
year. This judgment is now in full
effect and although the supervisors of
l-Solano county have instructed District
Attorney Raines to enforce the inJunc-
tion he has neglected to do so.
THE matter has been called to the
attention of Judge Buckles, and attor-
neys will be employed at once by the
anti-smelter association to take the
necessary legal steps to close down the
works at Vallejo Junction"
