popuous sections of the state is of lasting and nesn
able value to it. 1t is in this spirit Of satisfaction that
the people of this valley hail the completion of this
connecting link in great highway that has devel-
oped into an important artery of commerce
A concrete roadway now leads from Los Angeles
and the lesser cities of Riverside and San Bernardno
almost to Westmorland. The portion of it, just
dedicated takes the place of what has for years been

it gives us smooth and inviting communication all of
the two hundred forty miles to Los Angeles, the metro
polls of the Pacific coast. When the twenty miles from
Ell Centro to Wesmorland is constructed it will be
other occasion for rejoicing.
From this time forward we may expect to see
much of the transcontnental traffic that has been
coming from Yuma and the east diverted at Ell Centro
to Los Angeles That is to be result of the
consummation of this road-building enterprise Hav

BIRDS AND TREE PESTS

Entomoogists at the state agricultural expert
ment station of New York are experimenting to test
the true value of birds to fight tree pests There has
been much said lately about the valiant work done by
native song birds and even by the formerly magn
ed crow in keeping down the numbers of noxious in
sects which otherwise would thrive the ultimate de-
struction of countrys fruit trees. And rghtfuy
enough there has been concerted effort to protect
these birds and to encourage them to stay close to
farms and orchards
The suburban dweller, if he has a small lot with
perhaps cherry tree. peach tree and apple
tree to enhance its beauty and add to its productive
ness sometimes wonders why city robins, buejays and
other birds do him little good They may eat some
of the insect pests but they take heavy toll of his
small amount of fruit Perhaps it only because with
few trees there not enough insects to supply the
demand and the birds must round out their with
fruit. Or perhaps it is that the bird population is
greater in proportion to the amount Of fruit to be
shared by birds and man. At any rate if Mr.. Subur-
bante is bird lover well as the owner of few
loved fruit trees, he has puzzling problem his
hands which the professional fruit grower and farmer
never know
