CALIFORNIA CITRUS FRUIT
CROP BELOW NORMAL

Next seasons crop of navel oranges
in California is reported to be con-
siderably less than earlier estimated.
Heavy droppage in many sections is
said to be responsible for this.
Florida growers for a time were
worried at the repotred bumper crop
in California which might contend
against their own product in the
northern markets. Not only does it
appear that there will not be a big
crop of navels in California, but ap-
parently it is going to be considerably
below normal.
"In place of the 81 per cent normal
crop as reported by the bureau of
crop estimates for June /, experienced
field men in Los Angeles state there
will be barely 60 per cent, possibly
less" This is the statement made in a
recent issue of the Produce News of
New York. That paper further says:
"That the opening price will range
much higher than in other years is
certain. There are only a limited
number of cars remaining to come out
of northern California and compara-
lively few out of the central district.
Report state that in many groves
one can count the oranges on a block
Of ten trees and can quickly see that
the June drop has been far heavier
than has ben given out from of1icial
sources. In <souae Of the orchards It
Il said that the ground h literally
covered with little orsnges. sssa.
"a representative Of the Produce
News made days trip between Los
Angeles and Riverside with side trips
into the adjoining sections, returning
through Orange county. He found
navels in Riverside have continued to
drop and while one tree carries q
good crop the next will likely have no
fruit. The trip confirms the report
of heavy decrease in navels. About
65 per cent of the Valencia acreage in
Orange county has been cleared UP
and probably half the crop has been
moved; the exchange will handle the
balance.
"This season including Monday
from southern California showed ar
output of 26.555 cars as against H..
655 cars last year. Lemon shipments
were 7715 cars against 40O0 last
year"

INCREASE OF A
HOME INDUSTRY
County Agent Asks Cooperation of
Board of Trade in Standardiza-
ton of Product

Mr.. H Blackburn, county agent, IN
a talk before the Board of Trade last
night, called attention TO things that
might be accomplished by the CO.
operation of the Board Of Trade, the
Marion County Agricultural Commit
tee and his Office. He made a plea for
community syrup mills, for the pur-
pose of bringing about a standard
ization of the cane syrup that is pro-
duced in the county. The farmers of
Lowell, Mr.. Blackburn said, are think
ing of putting in such a mill, and
are also thinking of establishing "a
community laundry. Mr.. Blackburn
spoke also Of the need of a creamery
In the county, and cooperative dairy
ing. He has been assured that the
Board of Trade is ready at all times
TO cooperate with the farmers. The
board has a standing agricultural
committee for this purpose.

Confucius was not religious teach
er. He taught ethics and was a great
philosopher. His doctrines dealt with
mans relations to man. and not with
mans relations or responsibilities to
God. The true followers of Confucius
can properly be said to have no relig-

ious notions borrowed either from the
Buddhist or Taoist religions, or from
both.

festive chambers know that the
Czarovitch was at Duke Gunther's
brother of the Kaiserin in the Palais
Pourtales, whittier he had gone at
one o'clock, and where a motley ar
ray OF rakes, marquises. and dane
ing-girls used to convene.
They he'd : great time, those two
royal bachelors and their friends.
and when, finally, His Imperial High
ness's adJutant reminded him that 1t
was necessary to prepare for supper
at the Embassy Nicholas avowed
that he preferred an hour with his
Mignon to an eternity with all the
German Emperors and Expresses
that ever lived.
At the concert, I heard Count
Schouvalow whisper to his wife:
The Kaiser insists upon reporting
this business to the Car. with all de-
tails, the Empress Frederick's protest
and my own notwithstanding. AS for
Duke Gunther, he told Her Majesty
that he will kick him out of the
army"
The Duke of Schleswig. according
ly. got his walking-papers and Car
Alexander a furious letter, complain
ing of his sons disregard for the de-
cencies of life and denouncing his
proclivities for vice. But twenty
one months later they carried Alex
ander to the Peter-Paul Cathedral
a dead man, and Nicholas, the slur-
red and despised, mounted the throne
OF the Northern Empire.
AS a flash of genius. too, those
amiable pick-thanks praised the
kaiser's feat at Darmstadt, when
standing on the castle balcony with
the Car, he suddenly placed his arm
about Nicholas's shoulders, thereby
giving the imperial camera man, on
watch, a chance for sensa-
tional snapshot. The Kaiser prompt
ly turned the negative over to a Ber-
lin speculator, and soon the show
windows offered occular proof that
the relations between Berlin and
st. Petersburg were of the most cor
dial character"
But when the pictures reached
Muscovite dealers, ten days later, a
decree of confiscation went forth: the
photographs were pronounced apo
cryphal, and the Russian official tele-
graph and news companies received
orders to feature this piece of in
telligence and give wide publicity to
the fact that a fraud had been prac-
ticed upon the public"
A great storm was raised when the
Car and Czaritza, then staying in
Darmstadt, refused to see the Grand
Duke and Duchess of Badeu on the
plea that their time was all taken up.
Nicholas must make time for the
daughter of the venerable William
