STUDY DISEASE OF PEcANs.

That the pecan rosette, regarded by
southern pecan growers as the most
serious menace to the industry, is not
caused by parasites or other organ
isms. but is a nutritive trouble in
duced by deficiency in soil moisture
and plant food. is the conclusion OF
specialists of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture based on d
study of this dieease. Experiments
along this line show the disease has
been practically eliminated from a

THE MYSTERY OF ARROWHEAD

California has SO many of Natures
greatest wonders, including the Yose-
mite, the Big Trees, the highest noun
tain and the only active volcano in
continental United States, that it, u
not surprising that some have been
overlooked. One of it's most remarka-

the San Bernardino Mountains. These
rise from 5000 to $4,000 feet above the
valley. On one of the most imposing
of them, extending from near it's top
and covering fully seven and a half
acres, gigantic Indian arrowhead ia
superimposed. The point is directed
toward the famous hot springs whose
waters pour out of the mountainsides
in such volume that they have cut
deep canyons as they push on to the
mesa.
Who formed this arrowhead $500
feet up the mountainsde, who planted,
with white sage brush, the seven and
half acres, within it's clearly defined
limits, quarter of mile long and

ers saw it century ago and it looked
then as it does now. Of course there
are Indian legends about it, for all
this section was in possession of the
roaming tribesmen until 60 or 20
years ago. One of the legends is that
the Indians outlined the gigantic ar
row on the highest hill to locate the
springs in whose warm, bubbling wa
ters they sought the healing power.
No historian confirms this legend
and few believe it, for the task Of
climbing 1000 feet up steep noun

acre plot with brush differing in ap.
pearance from that with which Ma
ture's has clothed its countless hills
would have taxed the superhuman.
. The Indian could have had neither re-
sources nor patience for the undertak-
| ing. 1t was Natures work and the
best proof Of it is that, as long as
| memory runs, the gigantic arrowhead
has kept its place unchanged and un-
changeable, except fer deep riffs in
its surface caused by the floods Of
water from the melting snow. Nature
could have carved the great arrow
with q mountain cloudburst as its
chisel, for scientists assert that sud-
den torrential downpour of water
might have struck rock dividing on
both sides and been brought together
again, thus carving out an arrowhead,
point downward.
The thermal springs at Arrowhead
are not shallow dripping pools. but
deep, bubbling, flowing underground
streams finding their sources in the
underlying volcanic formation and
pushing out to the surface in search
of freedom. Paths have been built
and are neatly kept SO that the visitor
can walk along the canyons in which
the streaming waters flow. Their
warmth keeps the grass green along
these pathways and brings out pro
fusion of richly-tinted wild flowers.

What is the course Of the disease
Do people die Of it?

"Ordinarily, the fever lasts from
three to four days and the patient re-
covers. But while the proportion Of
deaths in the present epidemic has
generally been low, in some places the
outbreak has been severe and deaths
have been numerous. When death OC-
ours it is usually the result of a COM
plicatiOn."
What causes the disease and how is
it spread?
"BacteriolOgists who have studied in
f1uenza epidemics in the past have
found In many of the cases a very
Small rod-shaped germ called, after it's
discoverer, Pfeiffer's bacillus. In other
cases Of apparently the same kind Of
disease there were found pneumococci
the germs of lobar pneumonia. Still
others have been caused by strepto-
cocci, and by others germs with long
names.
mo matter what particular kind Of
germ causes the epidemic, it is now
believed that influenza is always
spread from person to person, the
germs being carried with the air along
with the very small droplets of mucus,
expelled by coughing or sneezing,
forceful talking, and the like by one
who already has the germs of the dis
ease. They may also be carried about
In the air In the form of dust coming
from dried mucus, from coughing and
