BAN IS SOUGHT
Valley Nurseryrnen To Fight
Shipping Of Citrus
Trees
Especial TO The Herald

SAN BENITO, Aug. 29.-Concert-
ed action on the part OF Valley
nurserymen to prevent the shipping
of Florida citrus trees into the state
Is to be worked out, according TO an
nouncement here of II. S. Hensley
Of the Hobart -Hensley nursery Of
La Feria.
The decision was reached at a
meeting Of nurserymen from all
parts of the Valley.
Hensley talked at the Riwanis
club here. declaring that introduc-
ton of Florida nursery stock was
dangerous because it might result
in bringing in citrus canker, or some
other such disease.
The club went on record in favor
of barring Florida fruit. and passed
a resolution which was forwarded
to the state secretary of agriculture.
Commissioner of Agriculture
George B. Terrell announced re-
Gently that the Texas ruling against
shipping Florida citrus trees into
the state Is superSede by federal
ruling. permitting them to be en-
tered If they are properly deffoliat-
ed and dipped. The federal ruling
will apply, he said. unless the trees
are barred because Of some other
reason.
The Valley nurserymen plan 70
take the matter up with leading
residents Of this section In other
lines OF business, with congressman
and others in public life, and with
the Southwestern Nurserymen'S as
sociation, which convenes at Fort
Worth September and 5. Repre-
sentatives of the Valley organiza-
tions will attend this meeting.

OTTAWA, Ontario, August 2S.-New
methods of determining time, and an
estimate vastly reducing the size Of
known space. were presented to the
forty-second meeting of the American
Astronomical Society here yesterday.
The innovation in time is accom-
plished by photographing the ticks of
clock simultaneously with passing
of a star. The Photographic plate
moves automatically and the clock
beats are registered on the negative
by electrical transfer. so that they pro-
duce broken trail. Zach break in this
trail represents the tick of a special
clock, and the trail crosses that of a
star.

described. BY the second method a
larger number of stars is photographed,
while the time signals are recorded au-
tomatically at certain points in the
course OF the moving Photographic
plate holder
The estimate of the size of space
was made by Ludwik Silberstein of New
York. He gave mathematical formu-
las which he said showed that the
greatest possible distance across space
is about 100000 light years. One
light year is the distance light travels
in year. Recently some leading as
tronomers have estimated that certain
starry clusters shown in photographs
by powerful telescopes were as much
as l50,000,000 light years distant.
