Sept. 23, 1906 My information 5 and 6 pp. back re. Tan Oak yields in Santa Lucias came from the books of the G. C. Notley Co. at Notley's Landing. W.D. Mearns was the man in charge in the office, but Trotter was the field man, the one who knew most and was fairly long on information.
Vacaville, Sept. 29 - Oct. 1. - One of the great limbs of the Valley Oak in the corner of the Hawkins field, n.e. of railroad crossing has just fallen. Due to to dry rot in bark, plainly visible as train went by. To such cause is to be ascribed the formation of unsymmetrical, 1-sided or picturesque crowns of the Valley Oak.
