NOTES BY THE WAYSIDE.

Los ANGELES, CAL, July 3, 1915.
M dear Mr.. Th0yer:
Well, sit is long time between
drinks" as the Governor of North
Carolina said to the Governor of South
Carolina.
If | remember correctly, the last
time you heard from me was at the
Grand Canyon, Arizona.
1t took day and night to get
from there to Riverside, Cal, where
resting and visiting dear school
girl friend.
1t was here that / had my first in
PRODUCTION to orange groves. The
Orange-picking season was nearly over,
but | was not too late to see some of
the trees laden with the golden fruit,
and was fortunate enough to be
shown through an orange packing
plant, where | was much interested,
to see with what celebrity the fruit is
sorted, graded, wrapped and packed.
One of the most delightful exper-
fences here was an auto ride OF many
miles in and around Riverside and
it's environS, past acres and acres OF
oranges, lemons, grape fruit, almonds,
olives, English walnuts, etc. Some
of the roads were palm-bordered for
miles. Others had palm and cypress
trees alternating. Some had the
graceful pepper trees, and nearly all
had hedges of roses in blossom.
One sees so many rare trees, shrubs
and blossoms out here. Oaks, pop
lars, elms and NAPLES are CONSPICUOUS
by their absence. But they have over
sixty varieties OF the alacia tree.
One, called the Jackoranda, is now
very handsome and snowy, loaded
with purple blossoms. The eucalyp-
| tus, which sheds it's bark, instead OF
it's leaves, is interesting and quite
common here now, being cultivated
in places for it's wood. 1t was orig
inally brought from Australia, and
is called the "noisiest tree in Cali
| fornia," because. it is always "bark-
ing"
The crowning glory of the before
mentioned auto-trip was a ride tC
the top of Rubidoux Mountain, over
the famous Huntington road, built
at great expense by the railroad mag
nate, Coils P. Huntington. The tor
of this mountain commands fine
view of Riverside and the Santa Anna
river and whole valley. 1t is sur
mounted by a large wooden cross
taken from one of the old missions
and erected to the memory of Father
Junipero Sierra, founder of the first
mission in California. l saw anC
heard much of him in the Mission
Play, given at the San Gabriel Mis-
sion near Los Angeles. There is also
one of the old mission bells on the
top of this mountain. Every thing
is omissions" out here.)
Before leaving Riverside l had the
privilege of being shown all through
the famous Glenwood Mission Inn
with it's rare collection of paintings
and curios of all kinds. 1t seems that
this hotel is famed in Europe as wei
as America. In its yard is one of the
two original orange trees planted il
California. 1t was transplanted here
by Theodore Roosevelt. Roosevelt
room at the Inn is preserved un
changed.
From Riverside, l went to Sar
Diego, and since then have seen anC

heard so much that it makes me
dizzy to think of it.
To try to keep ones 'eyes open,
ears pinned back and gray matter
ascillating" sufficiently to take in
everything is WEAKNESS to the flesh.
In order to get it all, ones brain
would need to be able 'to make more
revolutions to the minute than
buZz-saw, side step cyclone and
grab new ideas without slipping cogs."
| will now merely try to "tOuch
the high places" or mention some of
the things that stand out most clearly
in my memory.
The San Diego Fair is beautiful
such wealth of lovely flowers, vines,
shrubs and trees, and the buildings
have much architectural beauty. 1t
surely reflects great credit on
single city to have gotten up such
fair / was there the night that
Schumann-Heink gave an open air
concert to an audience of 10000
people. What an inspiring sight
could be distinctly heard to the out

heard of. Those at San Diego are
mostly taken in big touring automo-
biles, while those at Los Angeles are
mostly in trolley cars.
Among the most interesting things
seen at San Diego, were the ruins of
the San Diego Mission, the first es-
tablished in California in 1869. Ra-
mona's marriage place, Mission Can
yon and Mission Valley, Grossmount
and the surrounding country where /
saw the homes of many distinguished
people, such as Schumann Heink;
Carrie Jacobs Bond, the song writer;
Owen Wister the author of the
"Virginian," John Vance Cheney,
the poet, and many others.
On this trip | saw many other in
Iteresting sights, including the Oldest
dam in the U. S., built by the In
dians across the San Diego river un-
der the direction of the Mission
fathers, for irrigation purposes, the
oldest olive trees in California, and
the oldest palms. Also fields of Bur
banks spineless cactus, Schumann
Heink's orange grove and many
other groves.
Enjoyed trip to PIT. Iona, where
| L saw The GOV Z llgIlC mousse, Wireless
station, aviation field, and torpedo
boats. PIT. Iona is the international
headquarters of the TheOsophists.
Here is located their Rajah Yoga
college, and their beautiful Greek
open-air theatre, the first to be built
in the U. S., where | heard their
charming Greek play, "The Drama OF
Athens" given.
| was glad of an opportunity tC
visit Coronado Beach, the Tent City,
and the big Coronado Hotel, as well
as Sunset Cliffs.
| While at San Diego, l saw '"The
Clansman, or the Birth of Nation, "
which held me spell-bound for three
and one-half hours. | think that
every American citizen ought to see
this marvellous moving picture, and
particularly every Northerner. 1t is
certainly a soul-thriller, an eye-open.
er, tear-starter, and an educator.
| shall be obliged to leavecomments
on Los Angeles to the next ''install-
ment.' Sincerely,
| HARRIET A. WHITEHEAD.

THE GROWING CROPS.

Although much has been said
about the cold and backward weather
of the early summer, the indications
are hat the usual bumper crops will
be harvested in Marathon county this
year The hay crop which is now
being cut in the county, is running
as q whole slightly better than the
average crop, and much better than
had been anticipated before the har-
yesting began, the rains of two weeks
ago and the warm weather having
contributed to this effect. Old tim
othy fields will not yield as heavily as
usual, but the crop of clover will be
large Where timothy and clover
we're mixed 1t looked as though the
clover was not standing as high as
usual, but it was found to be especially
heavy low down" and the yield has
been more than satisfactory. The
prospects for second cutting of
clover are especially good, the plant
being in an unusually strong and
vigorous condition and the earth so
stored with moisture that there is no
doubt upon the second and possibly
third cuttings.
oats never looked better than at
the present time, the stand being eX-
ceptiOnally vigorous and the grain
filing out splendidly. The same is
also true of barley. The rye crop has
never before been equalled in this
county, and potatoes and other root
crops are better than usual. The
cool weather of the early part of the
summer seemed to have deterring
effect upon the potato bugs and up
To the present time it has hardly
been necessary to use paris green.
Most potato crops are now in blossom
and to have reached this stage with
out having to be protected with
pOisOns is something unusual. No
matter how carefully paris green is
applied, it has a certain bad effect
upon the vines, and the fact that
It's use so far has been unnecessary
has resulted in an especially vigorous
growth of vines and a cOrreSpOndingly
large yield is looked forward to. The
excessive moisture of the early part
of the season has had a beneficial
effect on pastures and on all fruit
crops
Tie only crop that has suffered or
is apparently backward is corn. Ow-
ing TO the cold weather which fol-
lowed Immediately after the first
planting, followed by long, wet spell
of weather, much of the seed rotted
in the ground and in many instances
had to be replanted. Even this later
planting has come forward about as
fast as that first put in the ground.
Taken as a whole, two weeks ago
the corn crop looked very unfavorable,
but the light rains and hot weather
since then have showed it along won
deriully, and the outlook is favorable
for the ripening of this crop, prOvid-
ing we have normal weather cOndi-
tlons in the early fall.
The yield of peas, especially those
for canning purposes, has been much
better than usual, and the common
held variety is giving evidence of a
promised heavy yield.
Taken all in all the conditions
throughout the county are very en-
couraging and the crops for the sum-
mer of 1918, will as a whole be fully
equal TO that of any previous year.
