SUGAR PRICES Will CAUSE
SHORTAGE OF PRESERVES
STOCK OF SWEETS IN HOUSEHOLD
CELLARS CURTAILED
Tremendous Increase in Demand and
Lessened Production KeenIy Felt
War in Europe Is Given
as the Cause

LOS ANGELES, May 3O.-A famine
in household preserves is threatened
next winter. The high price of sugar
will curtail the stock of sweets for the
family cellar. Sugar is nearly so per
cent higher than it was last year, and
the price is still climbing, with no
prospects of any fall. In addition to
the price of sugar, the cost Of jars and
other materials used in putting up pre-
serves has advanced to nearly double
what it was last year..
The war in Europe is given as one of
the main causes for the rise in the
price of sugar. The Cuban crop, which
usually comes to this country, is nearly
exhausted, dealers in the commodity
here say, and the greater part of it has
already been shipped to England. The
supply of beet sugar, which England
depended up from Germany every
year, has been cut off, and the sugar
raising countries are sending the prod
uct to Great Britain because of the
high price.
This has diminished the supply of
cane sugar in the United States. The
price, has been steadily rising about
thirty cents a hundred month since
last fall. Beet sugar follows the lead
of cane sugar.
Although beet sugar is just as good
for preserving and other uses as cane
sugar. the beet sugar interests keep
the price close to that of cane sugar
despite the supply said the manager
of one of the large grocery concerns
"The price of sugar is soaring, and it
is going to be higher 1t means prac-
tically that there will be no preserving
season among the housewives of the
country this summer. The dizzy
heights which sugar is liable to reach
if the war keeps up will frighten the
women. 1t would be extravagant to
attempt to put up any preserves at the
price at which sugar is now held. ;.
Moreover, there has been a rise in
the other materials used in preserv-
ing. The manufacturers of the glass
jars with zinc caps have been unable
to get enough metal to make these ar
ticles. Besides, fruit is high. The
crop indications in this section do not
point to a very large supply. The
berry season is now on, but there is
hardly housewife who is putting up
any of this fruit.
"By the time the peaches are in,
next July, it would not be surprising
to see sugar up to SO or $40 hundred.
''The canning companies are cur
failing the output of their factories be-
cause of the prohibitive price of su-
gar Some of the canneries have con-
tracts for sugar which will run out
this year, and many will be facing the
necessity of cutting down the volume
of canned fruit"

WORK BEGINS ON
POMONA STADIUM

POMONA, May 3O.--Work has been
commenced on Greek open-air the
ater in Ganesha park, which, when
completed, will seat more than 5000
spectators.
The structure is to be located in the
old gravel pit just west Of the picnic
grounds, and the work at present un-
der way will cost about $4,000, and is
designed to accommodate 1000 per-
sons.
An effort will be made to complete
the first unit of the big structure in
time to hold the graduation exercises
of the Pomona high school the latter
part of next month.
The stage is designed to be 180 feet
in width, with complete dressing
rooms. The old gravel pit will be
used for the first 200 seats, and later
the sides of the pit will form natural
amphitheater. The fund for erecting
the structure has grown to $4,000 from
an original donation of $3.50 made by
the 1914 graduation class of Pomona
high school.
The graduation exercises this year
will be novel, in that they will be
known as twilight graduation. The
exercises will be held in the evening,
commencing at $50 o'clock.

Gives Auto Race Permits

SANTA MONICA, May 3O-The
city council gave permission to the
Santa Monica Chamber of Comerce to
hold the Vanderbilt and Grand Prize
automobile races Nov. 16 and 18, and
also for preliminary practice. The per-
mission is subject to ordinances now
in force and which may be passed reg
ulating the auto races.
Ellis E.. Randall, chairman of the
auto race committee, and H. M. Cor
ham, president of the Chamber of
Commerce, were present at the coun-
Gil session. They explained that the
permission is necessary as one of the
steps in obtaining from the American
Automobile association final permit
for holding the race here. Sanction
has been received from the Motor
Cups Holding association, and obtain
ing the final permit from the auto as
sociation is looked upon as formal

vigor of growth to the trees which en-
ables them to resist climatic changes
and parasitic attacks.
Judgment in FertiIizing
To secure success in manuring, not
only must just the right fertilizers be
employed in the proper quantities, but
judgment be exercised in the time and
manner of their application. In
creased applications of fertilizers do
not necessarily produce increased
yields. Due regard must be paid to
the age of the trees. Young trees need
an ample supply of Immediately avail
able nitrogen, phosphoric acid and pot
ash to develop new wood which later
will be needed for the formation of
fruiting buds.
Eminent authorities have devoted
much attention to the amount of the
various elements of plant food which
should be restored to the soil if maxi
mum crops of good quality are to be
produced and the trees kept in a Wig
orous, healthy state of growth. The
results show that the following may
be taken as typical formula of ma.
nures for citrus trees:
Available phosphoric acid. Sper cent
Potash 10 per cent
AS already stated, it is also advis-
able to supplement this by the regular
use of stable manure or to interplant
some green crop to be turned under
shortly after the fruit is gathered The
mineral manures, potash and phos-
phoric acid, should be cultivated in
during the dorman period.
Nitrate of Soda
The nitrate of soda should be applied
in three dressings: First, at the be-
ginning of the vegetative period; Sec
ond, about two weeks before the flow
ering period; third, after the fruit is
well set In all cases the materials
should be evenly distributed beneath
the branches of the trees, but not with
in two or three feet of the trunk. BY
persistently following such a system as
this the orchard will eventually pro-
duce maximum crops of fruit of high
quality.

DIRIGIBLE MAKES
SUCCESSFUL TRIP

PASADENA, May 3O.-High above
the house tops at the edge of the
cities of Pasadena and South Pasa-
dena, the huge Waterman dirigible
was seen on it's first long-distance
trial flight. The craft, at sundown,
circled and maneuvered at a height
varying from 200 to 800 feet, and was
observed by hundreds of persons.
Jack M. O'Connell piloted the craft.
Russell Waterman, who, with his
brother, William, constructed the
dirigible, attended the engines
The craft is 124 feet in length, 80
feet in diameter, and is controlled by
new mechanism designed and patent
ed by the Waterman brothers. That
the dirigible conforms to government
requirements and limitations is known.
Continued trial flights of the dirig-
ible are scheduled during the coming
fortnight A greater altitude and long
flight will be attempted.

LONG BEACH REJOICEs
OVER COURT DECISION

LONG BEACH, May 30.--The de-
cision rendered by the state supreme
court that the city of Long Beach was
not liable for the death of Mrs. Edith
Chafor, due to the collapse Of the audi
torium approach during the celebra-
tion of British Empire day, May "a,
1918, was received here with rejoicing.
This decision, which reversed the YER
dict rendered by jury in Judge Paul
McCormick's court, was not unexpect-
ed by number of citizens. Former
City Attorney S. G. Long, few hours
after the auditorium accident, when
questioned by reporters, maintained
that the city could not be held liable
for the tragedy, since it was acting
governmentally, and not in private
capacity, at the time of the disaster.
Former Mayor G. H. Windham and
other prominent citizens held the
same opinion.
City officials and other Long Beach
citizens today expressed pleasure at
the findings of the states highest
court, and predicted that this decision
will be final settlement of the mat
ter as far as the city's liabilities are
concerned.

FROST WILL CAUSE
GRAPE PRICE RAISE

SACRAMENTO, May 30.-Grapes in
northern California and in other sec
tions of the state are due for sharp
advance on account of the unusually
late frost this month, according to a
report made by the state viticultural
commission. Edgar Sheehan, secre-
tary of the commission, declared that
the first figures given out of a $5,OOO,-
900 loss in the Sacramento valley and
elsewhere are being substantiated as
returns from the growers are received.
1t is reported by the commission
that SIS ton is being asked for grapes
from the Lodi district, and $23 to $25
in the Napa and Sonoma valleys. Last
year top prices ranged around $40 a
ton.
The commission expects to issue a
bulletin soon on the full effect of the
frost and the size of the area affected.

SACRAMENTO, May 80. 1.-THE
proper fertilizing of fruit trees in
wolves many points other than the
mere application of the particular
plant foods which the trees remove
fornia it will now be admitted that
plant food losses from cropping must
be made good by the application of
three primary and critical elements
of fertility, viz, nitrogen, phosphates
and potash. There still remains, how
ever, their effect upon the trees other
than that of merely stimulating their
growth and productiveness, and the
final effect upon the physical and
chemical nature of the soil itself.
First Agricultural Law
1t is a fundamental fact that every
crop drains the natural resources of
the land to some extent-in cases OF
a heavy crop to q large extent-and
the ingredients thus removed, the
chief of which are nitrogen and phos-
pilates and potash, must be replaced.
AS to the amounts of these ingredi-
ents which are annually removed by
an average crop, no general figures
can be given, as some crops naturally
remove a larger amount of plant food
than others, weight for weight of crop
produced, and, further, the character
of the soil, particularly it's physical
condition, has an important bearing
upon this point.
Practical results, as we'll as scien-
tific investigation, have conclusively
shown that the soil fertility cannot be
maintained by the use of either stable
manure or green manuring alone.
There is at the same time needed the
beneficial effect of the mineral ma
nures, potash and phosphoric acid
Further, if the soil is in good physical
condition the beneficial effect of these
combined with nitrate of soda or other
nitrogen-bearing material VS. beyond
all question, not only for increasing
the quantity but alsoNfor improving the
quality of the crop and maintaining a
healthy and vigorous tree growth. They
raise the yield of the trees to a maxi
mum, and at the same time give a
