With the State game farm nearly completed on a tract of land ftt Los Serranos Country Club, south of and 8000 game birds already in the pens, plans are progressing for formal opening of the farm to the public within th next three or four weeks.

The first consignment of birds received at the farm for propagation includes wild turkeys, Chinese pheasants, Hungarian partridges and quail. There is only one other game bird farm in California, at YountvUle, from which the local farm has been patterned. "A large corps of workmen is em-r ployed at the game farm, and several tructures have been: built, or are tinder process of completion.

California Fruit Exchange Man Tells of Conditions Fruit Fly Infestation Now Almost Eradicated None of These Insect Pests Seen There Since August REDLANDS.

Oct. has hit the bottom of economic disaster after the Mediterranean fruit fly infestation and is coming back. This is the belief of Stewart Kinck-ley, well known Redlands fruit man, who has Just returned from Florida. Hinckley has been two years lb Columbus, in the office of the California Fruit Growers' Exchantre. He started in as inspector of coming cars of citrus fruit and dur-i ing the last year has acted as assistant district manager.

The Co-t lumbus office handles all exehane! fruit arriving for Ohio, West Vir-gina and the territory immediatelj south of Chicago. The cars during season arrive at the rate of ten to twenty a day and must be inspected for condition before sale to the consignee. -Fruit is already sold on arrival, or at least the Columbus house has a pretty fair assurance wnere it is to be placed. The California brands are gaining in favor, according to Hinckley, and the trade i ready to pay a premium for good standard grade. TOUR 7000 MILES The latter part of August Mr.

and Mrs. Hinckley left Ohio by automobile and began a long tour that totaled more than 7000 miles before they reached Redlands. They started north about the Great Lakes to Quebec and into Maine and New Hampshire from Boston. They visited the trade and sized up the fruit situation throughout the Itinerary. Around Boston they did a considerable amount of sightseeing, including a trip to Plymouth Rock.

New York, Washington, the Carolinas and Florida were also on the schedule. In the latter State Archie M. Pratt, formerly of Redlands and now the big man in the citrus industry in Florida, took the Hinckleys under his wing and toured the State with them. Government entomologists were seen and a comprehensive study was made possible of thn Mediterranean fly situation. The fruit fly seems now to be under control, Hinckley asserted today.

No fly has been seen since August 7. he was told, and the 7000 to 8000 fly traps set out by the Federal eradication group have not caught an insect since that time. The traps are for the purpose of a fly census and not as the principal eradication program. INDICATIONS ENCOURAGING "My personal opinion is that the fly can be eradicated," said Hinckley. "Of course; although no flies are in evidence this is not assurance that they do not exist.

Probably there are flies still at large but the fact that they have so effectively disappeared is encouraging indication that the upper hand has been gained," the Redlands man said. Hinckley was emphatic in his statement that California should have no fear of the insect. "It is more of a mental hazard than otherwise," he declared. "The economic loss would be serious if there were an infestation in California but commercially, I believe, the loss would be It is extremely doubtful if the fly would ever become serious In our climate and certainly it would never bring about the expense for control the growers now must shoulder for the scale and mealy bug pests," he added, SAN DIEGO WOMEN PRAISE FRUIT FLY QUARANTINE MEN SAN DIEGO, Oct. 13.

Expressing satisfaction that the Mediterranean fruit fly which appeared in Florida has been kept out of California, the San Diego Women's Civic Center has adopted resolutions praising the work of officials who established and maintained the successful quarantine. The organization expressed Its "appreciation and confidence" in the methods applied by the "experts chosen by the government, State and county agricultural departments and especially those operating in The "excellent work of our local agricultural officials," including "those who guard our State boundary lines, international borders and ports," is highly praised in the resolution. Commendation is given especially to Robert R. McLean, County Horticultural Commissioner, "whose observations in Florida and other fields and vigilance and educational work in this county cannot be surpassed." Felix Landis and James G. France of the farm bureau receive cordial praise "for the inestimable amount of Intelligent agricultural direction and rural progression" the county has recorded." by J.

Edwin Espy is the first president of the interfraternlty council and will preside at the meeting Tuesday including Indians of the region, PALM SPRINGS, Oct. 13. Presentation of the ninth annual Desert Play here on November 9 will serve to inaugurate the winter season at this resort, it was announced today. The play will be repeated the afternoon of Sunday, November 10, and Monday, November 11, Armistice Day. Sponsors of the spectacular open-air production have selected Mary Austin's Indian play, "Fire," to be presented as this year's Desert Play.

Eight years ago the late Gar net Holme staged "Fire" as the first Desert Play. It was repeated the next year and then gave way to "Tahquitz," which has been pre sented since. The story of "Fire" la based on a celebrated legend of the Indians of the region relating to the subjuga tion of the warmth-giving element to the uses of mankind. It will be presented by a cast of sixty dra-matlo stars and Indians of the region. Selection of the original drama for the 1929 presentation was made by the Palm Springs sponsors through a desire to perpetuate all of the legends of the region, as well as to vary the vehicle for patrons who make the pilgrimage to the resort year, after year to see the Desert Play from all parts of the nation.

Most of those present agreed oa the weed of a survey, but there appeared to be disagreement on whether it should ba made before-or after the district is organised. R.
