OLD RUSSIAN CHURCH
Interesting Ruins Found at Fort
Ross, California.
Structure Was Built by Members OF
RussIan-Amerlcan Fur Company
Expedition In 1918 and Used
for Place Of Worship.

San Francisco.-At Fort Ross, Call.
fornia, some fifty miles north of San
Francisco, there are the very interest
ing remains Of what was once church
Of the Holy Orthodox Religions the
members of the Eastern or Greek
church call their faith. 1t was in 1909
that an expedition Of the Russian
American Fur company came south
from Sitka, and made a settlement at
Bodega bay, which they called Port
Rumiantsof. Two years later they
chose a position for their main post
about twenty miles farther north, a
little beyond the Russian river, which
they called the Slavianka. At this
point, which they named Ros, or Rus,
they built fort with watchtowers and
mounted 40 cannon.
The settlement was ostensibly only
a peaceful trading post and center
for sealing operations. There was no
reason, however, in the character OF
the Indian inhabitants of the region,
for post Of such strength, and it
seems probable that the company in
tended to hold the territory as Rus
sian colony, and by gradual settlement
farther south, to offer an effective
challenge to the claims of Spain to the
coast region north of San Francisco.
The fort was built of heavy red
wood timbers. 1t was about one hun
dred yards square, and contained the
quarters of the officers and men, work.
shops, warehouses, granaries, wind
mill, and, Of course, lighthouses. The
population varied between two hun
dred and four hundred, inclusive of
some Aleuts who were employed in
the sealing and sea-otter industry. The
fur business grew to be large and
very profitable. Sir George Simpson,
the governor Of the Hudson Bay COM
pany, who visited Fort Ross in 1S41,
reported that up to that time no less
than eighty thousand sea-otter skins
alone had been taken and marketed by
the Russian-American company. In
1913 the Russians built church, and
there the gorgeous ritual Of the Greek
Catholic church was conducted until
the close of the Russian occupation.
That came in 1912. There was con-
slant friction between the Russians
and the Spanish and Mexican govern
ments. In 1924 the Russian govern
ment bound itself, by the treaty Of
London, not to acquire territory on
the Pacific coast south of 81 degrees
40 minutes latitude. So there was moth
ing for the fur company to do but to
seek a purchaser for the settlement
After the Hudson Bay company had
refused to buy the property 1t was sold
in 1910 to Captain" Suffer, who lives

SPREAD OF SAN JOSE SCALE
Original Home Of Worst Enemy Of
Trees of Country Is Matter Of
Doubt-Most lnsldious Pest.

San Jose scale is doubtless one of
the worst enemies OF the trees of this
country. The original home of this
pest is matter of considerable doubt.
although its foreign origin is very gen.
orally admitted. 1t escaped the notice
Of fruit growers in this country until
1873. when 1t was discovered at San
Jose, Cal, from which fact it derived
the name by which 1t has since been
known. 1t received little attention.
until 1880, when 1t was described by
Prof. J. H. Comstock as 'the most
pernicious scale insect known in this
country"
During the decade following. the
insects seemed to be confined to the
Pacific coast, extending, however, t"
Washington on the north, and the
Mexican border on the south. Within
this period 1t received considerable at
tention from chronological writer's,
horticultural societies and the press OF
California. There came reports Of its
appearance In the east at widely sep
arated localities, while now San Jose
scale has become a matter of serious
concern to fruit growers throughout
our entire country.

this insect Is worthy of consideration

the buildings and other effects at Fort
Ross and four smaller settlements in
the neighborhood. In 1912 the Rus
SLAMS sailed away for Sitka. Four
years later California passed from
Mexico to the United States.
There are few relics of the Russian
occupation still to be seen at Fort
Ross. The commentaries house still
stands, and parts of the stockade can
yet be seen. The church was in fair
condition until the great earthquake

WATCHING TREES IN WINTER
Successful Orchardist Will Remove
Dead Limbs and Prepare Ground
for Seasons Work.

There Is not much to do in the or.
chard until towards spring, but the
successful fruit grower keeps his ac-
quaintance with the trees all winter.
In every orchard there. are trees that
require attention in the of season.
There are dead limbs to be removed,
and sometimes the whole tree should
be rooted out, says Farm and Press,
and the ground prepared for new
tree to be planted in the spring.
Some farmers object to putting in
a tree where one has been removed,
but IL Is better to look to the cause.
If the sickly tree was young the fault
may have been with the planting, or
the tree ITSELF but usually there Is
fault with the soil or drainage.
In one orchard the trees refused to
grow on a strip of ground near
drain ditch, although the trees were
doing finely in every other part of the
orchard. The trouble in this case un-
doubtedly is faulty drainage. A dyna-
mite blast in each tree hole might cor
rect the difficulty. Apparently the
trouble is not in the main drain. be-
cause there Is fall Of several feet.
In fact, the drain is in the bottom OF
a small ravine deep enough to- insure
a low enough water table to insure
the growth of trees. There are such
spots in many orchards.
The late fall and winter is the time
to figure out the cause of the trouble
and to apply proper remedy. Vacant
spaces in an orchard cannot be- toler-
ated. The land is too valuable.
