California Wool
Nets Growers
Six Millions

California wool growers received
a cash income of $6700,000 for wool
in 1882 according to the Federal
State crop reporting service OF the
California Department of Agricul-
ture.
This was $l,O53 900 more than was
received for tho 1898 clip
Production Of wool in 1889
amounted to 29,132O00 pounds, 3
per cent more than was produced
in 1893, and II per cent more than
the 1897 production.
Though fleece weights averaged
lighter in 1889 than in the previous
year, the larger number of sheep
shorn IN the spring accounted for
a larger total clip.
Estimates for 1889 show that in
addition to sheep shorn, approx
mately 100000 lambs were shorn in
the state. The large number OF
lamb fleeces accounts for the rela-
lively low average per fleece record
ed for this state.
California wool producers receiv-
ed an average of 90 cents per pound
for the 1889 wool clip. Valley pro-
ducers received from 25 to q cents.
This compares with 20 cents in
1898. 81 cents in 1887. and 81 cents
in 1886. the Crop Reporting Service
said.

Flax Analysis
Meetinq Scheduled

Imperial County flax growers and
harvester operators will meet with
valley and University of California
extension service specialists at a
meeting at the county court house
April 10 to analyze results of flax
harvesting survey conducted one
year ago. according to Frank BeyS-
chlag, county farm advisor.
Professor H. B. Walker, head of
the division of agricultural engin-
eering and J. P. Fairbanks, extern
sion service specialist in agricul-
tural engineering will lead discus
sion at the meeting, Beyschlag said
Valley growers, through the CO.
operation of the valley extension
service and the Southwest F'laXseed
association, requested the Univer-
sity of California to conduct an in
veStigation to determine the amount
of flaxseed lost in harvesting oper-
ations. Additional Investigations for
The coming harvesting season will
be discussed.
Flax harvestcrs employing rub
Der rollers to lbcrate the seed
proved superior to those using raSp
bars and peg tooth cylinders to per-
form this operation during the 1899
flax harvest in Imperial Valley. ac-
cording to Falrbank and Winters.
The rubber roller threShcrS proved
to have larger capacity than the
other machines, cracked a smaller
percentage of the seed, produced a
smaller tailingS loss, and made it
easier to separate the seed from
the straw. The last advantage re-
suited from the fact that the roll
ers shredded less of the straw than
did the rasp bar and per tooth CYL
inderS. Fairbanks and Winters also
report that the rubber roller COM
bineS performed better under adj
verse conditions OF green straw and
high humidity than did machines
without rollers.
The first rubber roller threSher
for use in harvesting flax was a
hand machine made by Waldo W..
Weeth in 1884 Wceth, now a ranch
err near Coalinga, was then super
intendent at Mcloland Station near
Ell Centre. His machine was demon
strated at the 1894 farm machinery

shave survived the dread rust and
have matured as expected to prom
iSc yields equally as heavy as nom
resistant varieties in years the crop
was not affected by rust.
Because rust does not generally
appear in valley wheat until April,
the carly appearance of the disease
on wheat plants would indicate that
it will spread considerably during
April this year, Landerman said.
In this event some fields will be
totally destroyed.
Temperatures above 70 degrees,
humidity above SO degrees and moist
soil contribute to the spread of rust,
Landerman said. April provides an
average maximum temperature con-
siderably above 70 and humidity in
creaSeS as the summer approaches.
1t will take two years to grow
sufficient rust resistant variety seed
to provide for the valleys growers,
Landerman said, but indications
are in That period all valley grow
ers will plant the resistant variety.
Mexico growers experienced
similar loss due to rust, but Bard
fields were virtually untouched.

An unload summary prepared by

Agriculture shows that Imperial
county was one Of the more i'm
portant supply markets for the two
areas.
With Los Angeles now ranking
in second place in the United States
in the number of fresh fruits and
vegetables received its dependence
on outlying counties becomes even
more significant.

approximately 81 per cent of the
San Francisco fresh fruit and vegct-
able market needs of last year were
supplied by motor truck from the
San Joaquin valley. Los Angeles
local district furnished around 10
per cent of the supplies and Mon

around 9R per cent.
More than 81 per cent of the

Under the program, Miller said,
farmers will be paid for IS per cent

the stem rust spreads as predicted
and causes losses mounting toward
so per cent of the crop
Miller issued warning To valley
growers Saturday and urged them
not to take drastic action in the
event rust severely injured their
stands by blowing or discing the
crop, but to wait until adjustments
can be made by the FCIC. Adjust
ments will be started within two
weeks.
Any grower whose yield falls be-
low the insured production, Miller
said, will receive the government
payments up to IS per cent of the
average yield.

Hogs, Lambs to Be
Marketed Earlier

Earlier marketing of fall pigs,
more early lambs than last year for
slaughter before July /, and further
increase in cattle numbers in 1910,
were indicated Saturday in the
monthly analysis of the livestock
situation by the Bureau of Agri-
cultural economics.
A seasonal increase in hog mar
ketings will probably get under
way during the next month or 50
as marketings of fall pigs may be
somewhat earlier this year than
usual because of the unfavorable
ratio of hog prices to corn prices
in recent months.

Beekeepers Urged
To Register

Commissioner 3 A Harrlgan Sat

. Registration of the bee colonies
is not compulsory, Harrigan said,
but enables the commissioner to
contact beekeepers and warn them
when nearby field is to be busted.
Such a program will avoid heavy
losses to the beemen, the commits

sorbed through mere scratch or
break in the skin.
He advised careful observance of
the following precautions:
"Be sure you bag or buy only
healthy animals. The animal that
seems dazed or stupid is likely to
be sick one = infected with the
germs that cause rabbit fever.
Avoid that kind.
"Don't handle the game with
bare hands when preparing the
meat for the market or the table.
Use rubber gloves or protect the
hands with some other waterproof
material. The infection may be
picked up from the fur, as well as
from the organs or flesh.
"Do not allow any open cut or
scratch to come in contact with the
rabbits. Keep your hands away
from your face and eyes when
handling rabbits.
"Burn the paper or other wrap
pings that have been in contact
with the game.
"Wash the hands thoroughly
with soap and water Immediately
after handling rabbit.
"Cook rabbit meat thoroughly.
Cooking destroys the disease pro-
ducing germs"

Rabbit Fever

AS the hunting season opens, DR..
R. H. Riley, director of the State
Department of Health, warns hunt
ers, market men, housewives and
all others who handle game, of the
possibility of contracting rabbit
fever" or "tularemia," as the dis
ease is also called, from infested
rabbits.
There were 49 cases and eight
deaths from the disease in the
State in 1889; 18 cases with two
deaths have been reported so far,
during 1910. Of the totals in 1889,
81 cases and all of the eight deaths
occurred in Baltimore City; the
rest in the counties.
AS safeguard against further
illness and deaths from this cause,
DR.. Riley, said that the Baltimore
City Health Department has Sc
cured the enactment of an ordinance
which prohibits the importation or
sale in the city of wild rabbits or
wild hares, dead or alive. The
ordinance does not affect the inn
portation or sale of domesticated
rabbits or hares kept under super
vision in properly maintained and
sanitary rabbitries.
The ordinance went into effect
November Is, and fixes a penalty
not exceeding $50 for each offense.
Exception is made in the case of
geological gardens operated under
public authority and laboratories
engaged in scientific research,
which may receive or import under
such regulations as may be pre-
scribed by the Health Commission
ell of Baltimore City.
The ordinance applies to Balti-
more City, only. 1t does not affect
the importation or sale of wild
rabbits or hares in the counties.
Precautionary measures advised by
DR.. Riley accordingly apply more
particularly to residents of the
counties.
The disease is usually contracted,
he explained, through handling or
skinning infected animals; through
preparing the infested meat for
cooking or for other use; through
the bite of infected ticks - which
spread the disease from animal to
animal = and even through crush
ing the infected ticks in the hands.
The infectious material can be alb
