The following notes of probable in
| terest to Valley ranchers, have been
;ulled frcm the weekly news letter
Of G. H. Hecke, commissioner of hor-
ticulture for California:
Danger in Unknown Pests.
The number of known foreign
pests awaiting entry to the United
States is vastly larger tnan those
| yhich have already gained entrance,
| and the unknown foreign pest is
an uncertain quantity, perhaps even
more dangerous than the knCwn pests.
The risk is illustrated by recent
| ntroductions-for example, the al
falfa weevil, the oriental peach moth.
The Japanese beetle, and the citrus
carHer, together with such older i'm
cOrtatiOnS as the San Jose scale, the
5rowntail moth, the chestnut blight
disease and the white-pine blister
rust.
Foreign pests introduced with i'm
ported plants are now costing the.
United States each year more than
The total value of such importations
since the founding of the republic.
In the presence of important dan
gers to be guarded against, the SEN
timent based on keen sympathy which
all feel, especially for Belgium and
France, is held to have no place. Fur
thermore, the action taken places the
United States in more close align
ment with, but still behind, the prin-
cipal exporting European countries,
which long have maintained practi
cally complete prohibition of plants
from the United States.
Department officials believe it is
good common sense to stop these
sources of loss to American agricul-
ture, and the combined judgment of
the experts of the department and of
the several states, conceded in by
the bulk of the interests engaged in
actual plant production, is that the
policy of practical exclusion of all
stock not absolutely essential to the
horticultural, Horticultural and fores-
try needs of the United States is the
only one that will give adequate pro-
lection to this country.
California Fruit Census to Be Issued.
The April number of the Monthly
Bulletin will be devoted to author
lied estimates of the fruit crops of
California. This has been made pos
sible through the cooperative work
of E. E. Kaufman, representing the
United States Bureau of Crop Esti-
mates, the Hen. J. E. Richards, and
the State Commissioner Of Horticul-
ture.
The report will be by far the most
comprehensive and carefully compiled
of anv issued to cover the 1918 crops.
Control of Corn EarwOrm in Ventura.
A. A. Brock, country horticultural
commissioner of Ventura, reports
that efforts will be concentrated on
the rearing and liberating of Caloso-
ma beetles fer the control of the
corn earworm (Chloridea obsoleta)
should it become a menace to the bean
industry this season. He says:
"We hone to be able to liberate
these in large numbers and by lib
Grating them at the first outbreak,
it is believed we will be able to cope
with the increase and possibly it's
spread. We may never realize our
plans, but will endeavor at least to
product this natural enemy in large
numbers"

Fish Hook i'm Finger Gives
Boone Watson Trouble and
Assessor His Due Revenge

Boone Watson. who lives at Thorn
Hollow. is beginning to believe i'm di-
vine retribution His belief is fostered
by an experience he had while out
fishing a few DAYS ago.
Mr.. Watson went up Suuaw Creek.
whence he sent Assessor C. +. Strain
on a memorable hike a few weeks
ago. While far from home and alone,
Mr. Watson's hook became snagged
in one of his fingers, He reached for
his pocket knife but had none. He
felt for his glasses but had left them
behind. He tried to dlslodge the
hook with his teeth but failed.
After considerable walking, Mr
Watson met a sauaw with case
knife She hacked and sawed at the
finger, but couldn't make hehdwaH
and finally gave up the struggle he
cause of chicken -heartedness. Mr..
Watson decided he would have to
walk home, six or seven miles, with
the injured finger.
At last he reached n camp where
men with u sharp knife removed the
hook Mr.. Watson declares he
thought of Mr. Strain all during his
ordeal and is almost convinced that
his accident, in almost the same ter
ritory, was prompted by the avenging
spirit of the assessor.
