has employed Mr. F. w. Reed, VINO
was formerly head of the U. 5. bureau
of markets, as head Of the standarol-
zation of this state.
An agreement has been made with
| the state department and U: .. pu-
reaus of markets whereby tne sGate
department of agriculture agrees tnaC
it will approve no permanent changes
in existing horticultural laws without
consulting the bureau OF markets reg
ommending such changes as may De
mutually agreed upon.
This agreement will result in uni
formity Of standard regulation with
the government and with the state OF
California.
Prof. Milbirth of the U. S. depart
ment of agriculture gave lecture on
eelworm or nematode.
This pest is minute round worm
invisible to the naked eye, which is
real menace to California agriculture.
This pest causes the root knot of
many fruit trees and root-rot of vege-
tables.
1t is easier to name, the trees and
plants not affected by nematodes than
those effected.
If the sumer cover crops mentioned
by Prof. Milbirth being immune from
the brabham, and iron cow peas and
velvet bean.
Rotation of crops not effected, such
as grain clovers or or plowing often
in the summer, drying out the soil are
the control methods.
The rodent control gave a report
showing that $4,000 gallons of carbon
bisulphid, 100000 jute balls and $50
tons barley have been used in control
of squirrels and gophers during last
season.
q inspectors are employed in the

LONDON, June 9.-The stork has
been busy in England just recently,
nurses are booked up months ahead
and doctors are in great demand. The
Lancashire midwives committee chair
man said the birth-rate had risen in
almost every district and is now up
to pre-war rate. Figures issued by
the registrar general show that births
recorded in eight weeks in 1920 exceed
ed those Of the same period last year
by l 1,442.
The births in London in the last few
weeks show an enormous excess of ba-
by boys. indicating that nature is re-
storing the population to its normal
male and female constitution.

Yuma is in good condition. There has
been small amount of seerage at
the point where the levee broke in
1916 and the water is standing in the
low places on the town side of the
levee. There. is no apparent danger
to the city. The Gila river levee
should stand up under five feet more
water than there is now in the river.

Working all night at forced draft

Previous rulings on contests by the
national committee were sustained III

In disposing of 103 appeals from de-
