great rival of Culbertsons, and he can
point to its use by many players who
have won tournaments. The Lenz-

the merits Of the "official" and Culbert-
son systems, which, since then. have

of California and Carey stated that
only recently inspectors from that
department found q steamship in
one of the coast harbors which had
fruit on board infested by the Med
iterranian fruit fly. If this fruit
had been admitted to the state the
agricultural loss would have been
immense. other departments
touched upon by the speaker were
the bureau of Standardization and
the fish exchange, both of which
are doing necessary work.
The work of the bureau of mar
kets was then described by Carey,
who stated this department was
started to further markets for CAL
ifornia products. The work which
has been done to protect California
growers against buyers selling on
consignment was described and the
benefits to the growers by forcing
all such buyers to be licensed was
pointed out. This department also
takes care Of shipments going out
of the state. Carey stated that
this department also endeavors TO
secure for the grower a prompt and
just settlement and recovery when
necessary without cost to the grow
er. The speaker said that there is
at present under compilation a code
of agricultural laws of California
in single volume which will be
very valuable to attorneys and in
dividuals, doing away with the ne
cessity of searching through the
general laws of the state.

uted to those present to be mailed

The company, which has operated
