Last of Big Birds Going Condors Threaten With Starvation
North America's California condor near extinction reported by naturalist Lewis Wayne Walker. In a 35,000 acre preserve north of Los Angeles he counted only a few birds over three months while seeking a pair for San Diego Zoo. He cites a decline from 34 in 1934 and notes captivity and artificial feeding as paths to survival. The State Senate opposed further permits to trap condors. Walker hopes to resume next fall after nesting season.

Annual State Pest Invasion Is Under Way
California agriculture officials report the annual pest and disease invasion is underway. Parlatoria scale, attacking olives in the Central San Joaquin Valley, has reached Northern and Southern California, with first-time finds in Butte and Tuolumne counties. Red stele worsens strawberry crops while beet leafhopper concentrations are being reduced by pre-spring spraying. A Fresno County citrus white fly survey shows no survivors and 21 California-bred hog outbreaks of vesicular exanthema occurred in March, fewer than prior months.
