GIVES WARNING
TO ALL AUTO.
DRIVERS i.

Several recent accidents wherein
children have been the Victims has
again brought the necessity Of care
ful driving of automobiles to the at
tcntion of all. Justice of the Peace
e. Mayfield has always been greatly
interested in the matter and has is
sued the following statement this
n orning:
Serious accidents, resulting usu-
ially, from the .ack of proper nnanipul-
alton, or the lack Of proper observa-
tion of road rules, or the law, have
become so frequent lately, that l am
constrained once again, and 10, these
many times in public print, to call
attention to the operators of auto
nobles to the Importance Of observ-
Iirg road rules, and of the law.
'This applies particularly to driv-
ers of stages, and l am placing the
emphasis where it belongs. This will
probably impress you more forcibly
when you are required to give bond
for the proper operation of your car,
which is not improbable in the near
future.
81 have been especially impressed
recently by the great risk Of danger
Ly children playing and walking in
the streets in the most congested dis
tricts of the city. This is particular
~ true of children going to and from
school
This feature of the subject, l
think, needs only to be mentioned with
the hope that the officers may have
the cooperation of all who have the
care of children in mind, warning
them to keep off the streets except
where it is necessary to cross, and
not to walk in the middle Of the
streets, which is done by so many OF
them every day to their danger.
at has been my observation that
the Importance of this matter has been
brought home to some of US too late.
l: so happens that the office of JUS
tice of the Peace and police judges
are headquarters for complaints and
information on. this subject, and this
letter is written with the sincere de-
sire for the betterment of the opera
ton of au omobiles and the curtail-
ment of accidents by reason of the
lack of operation thereof, and to void
criminal prosecutions.
Sincerely,
l. MAYFIELD.

To the Honorable Board of s

Gentlemen:
The following goods were inspected
land passed into the county during the
month of October, 1916:
59l4 boxes of apples, 30O2 sacks of
potatoes, 169 boxes Of oranges, LAT
boxes of lemons, 122 boxes Of grape
fruit, 100 eucalyptus trees, 80 lemon

saks oat and barley seed, 80 sacks

5SS sacks alfalfa seed, 8 sacks Ber-

Two sacks of alfalfa seed condemned
on account of sour clover seed.

A trip to Los Angeles for one day
was made at the request of the State
Horticultural Commissioner Hecke in
relation to quarantine regulations.
State Commissioner Hecke, Chief
Quarantine Officer Frederick Mar
kew, Mr.. C. S. Scoffield of the Dept.
Of Agriculture, Dr.. Carl F. Kellerman,
member of the Federal Horticultural
Board, and r. E. Blair, Superinten-
cent of the U. S. Experiment Station
at Bard, made the county visit in the
interest Of quarantine regulations to
protect the county from infestation Of
cotton boil weevil and cotton pink
worm, the former now in Mexico and
las been for some time, the latter is
lately reported in Mexico.
Everyone should be interested in as
sisting the Department and Quaran-
tine officers to keep the valley free
fl ON these serious pests. Once the
weevil or pink worm gets hold in
the valley the end of the cotton indus
try would not be far distant. Cali
fornia is now free from these pests
So let US use every possible effort
to keep it so. California should prof
it by the experience of the Southern
States. Millions of dillars have been
spent in an effort to control the wee
vii and still it spreads over more ter
r;tory.
Citrus canker is causing great
alarm in citrus districts Of Florida
and adjoining states. Florida alone
employs All inspectors who burn all
trees to the ground that are found
infested with the canker. No citrus
fruits or nursery are allowed to en-
ter this state and yet some persons
will try to bring fruit or nursery not
realizing the danger.
During the Weights and Measures
Week in the State of California, for
the purpose of bringing this law be-
fore the public, we distributed over
10000 cards to the pupils of the
81 hools. All the city grammar and
high schools had short talk made
t. the pupils explaining what the law
is and its purposes. Cards were dis
tributed to each pupil
This method was used in order to
interest the parents and housewives,
as it is through their cooperation the
lew can be made effective.
Yours Very truly,
F. w. WAITE,
horticultural Commissioner.
