dores and port authorities breathed
sigh of relief as the Norwegian
steamer Haarfage sailed down the
harbor last night.
For the Haarfage completed
loading yesterday, and the last Of
her cargo taken on board was 100
tons of dynamite, sufficient to
have blown up major portion
of the waterfront.
The explosive is designed for
Venezuela, where it will be used
in mining operations. During the
loading boss evedoreS who
usually urge their men to speed
it up" were cautioning them to
take their time, and no one dared
to sneak a smoke.
In 1913 a steamer here was
loading dynamite when a steve
dore drove his handling hook into
box of explosives with the result
the vessel was wrecked, 33 persons
were killed and the blast was felt

Judge J. A. Valin. chairman OF
the board of guardians. arranged
yesterday with Father McNally,
parish priest at the Church of
the Sacred Heart at Corbeil to
celebrate high mass for the quln-
tupletS tomorrow.
Judge Valin said pressure of
state business may prevent. Hon.
Mitchell Hepburn, premier of On
tario, and Hon. David Croll,
guardian of the quinetS for the
state, from attending the party.
They will take part in the radio
program, however, speaking from
Toronto.
DR.. Dafoe will talk for about
10 minutes and will give a resume
of the babies development during

After this the quints themselves
will be heard as they laugh and

The broadcast will take place
between $50 and o'clock, EST,
which is bedtime for the quin-
tuplets.
No invitation to attend the
party has been extended to Mr..

other children. Judge Valin was
prevailed on last year to call on
the parents and extend invita-
tions to the first birthday party,
but they did not accept, so the
guardians are ignoring them this
year.

CHINCH BUGS
DAMAGE FLAX

Damage 70 flax in the San Joa-
quin and Sacramento valleys by the
false chinch bug is proving more
serious than at first believed. ac-
cording to Prof F. B. Madison, head
of the Agronomy division of the
University of California College of
Agriculture on the Davis campus.
Not only was the yield reduced by
the insect, but ii has been found
that the seed terminates poorly and
in many instances may be unfit for
planting.
Normally termination of flax seed
should be about 80 per cent, Profess
sor Madison says. but several
samples of seed taken from fields
attacked by the false chinch bug
terminated but per cent. He
warns farmers who contemplate
planting such seed to have tests
made before the crop is planted.
Flax is becoming an increasingly
popular crop in the interior val
leys. Approx mately $4,000 acres
were grown in the San Joaquin
valley last season and 5000 in the
Sacramento valley. Indications are
that this acreage will be incress>d
when the crop is planted this fall.
