The Weekly Gazette. ISSUED EVERY THURSDAY. HENRY KUCHEL, CHARLES KUCHEL, Editors and Proprietors. THURSDAY... APRIL 15, 1897. THE Farmers' Institute has passed into history, and if a single man has profited by its meeting, or if a single new idea has come to the horticulturist for the betterment of his condition, it has not been held in vain. We doubt if ever a more successful or largely attended Institute ever convened in Southern California. The attendance on Friday evening was upwards of 500 and while the other four sessions were not so largely attended, nevertheless at no session was there an absence of the dissemination of information of the utmost importance to the orchardist. Such questions as fertilization of the soil, cultivation, pruning, how to kill insect pests, beet culture and other kindred subjects were thoroughly discussed, and vast good must inevitably have resulted therefrom. There is probably nothing of greater importance to the orchardist, for example, than the proper application of fertilization of the soil; and when we come to know that indigenous plants furnish in many cases absolutely the best fertilizer that can be procured, and all without price, the information must necessarily result in great good to the farmer. Read the paper on "Green Manuring" in our article on the Farmers' Institute elsewhere in this paper this morning, written by J. W. Mills of the Government Experiment Station at Pomona, and tell us if ever more valuable information was vouchsafed the horticulturists at any Institute ever held. Reckoning the value in mere dollars and cents, we should say the information furnished them is worth to our horticulturalists thousands upon thousands of dollars. Prof. Cook's lecture upon Scale Pests and the methods of their suppression should have been heard by every orchardist in the county, and his formula for a kerosene emulsion (which we print on the third page this morning) ought to be worth a trial by every citrus fruit grower troubled with scale pests in the valley. All the papers read were interesting and valuable. Seldom has a more important gathering assembled in this city, and a compre- WALNUT CULTURE. Paper Read by Henri F. Gardner of Orange at the Farmers' Institute in This City on Saturday. In discussing the subject of Walnut Culture assigned to me, I shall assume that it was only intended to apply to the so-called English walnut variously derived from the Persian walnut. It seems best to divide the subject into heads. I shall therefore commence with: LOCATION AND SOIL. While the range of possible successful cultivation of the walnut is much wider than has frequently been stated. I think we are perfectly safe in claiming to be in the center of the most favored section, for although walnuts grow fairly well all over California and possibly some parts of Oregon, and even in the Eastern States, they attain their greatest perfection in the Southern coast counties of California, not only as regards rapidity of growth of the trees, but in early bearing, as well as in quantity and quality of the nuts produced. The reason of this is probably because we have here climate conditions very similar to those that obtain in their native country; possibly even more favorable, for while in chilly England it takes twenty-four years for the trees to come into bearing, in sunny France it takes eighteen years; Italy and Spain, twelve to sixteen; in their native Persia eight years; here in our favored land we can claim two or three years further advantage. Part of this, however, may be attributed to improved varieties and better cultural methods. Where conditions are so promising for a perfect success, it would seem to be the part of wisdom to use every precaution to insure that success. The first requisite to success in horticulture is good soil. This is particularly true of walnut culture. The ideal soil for a walnut orchard is a rich, sandy alluvium, of the kind called moist or semi-moist land, but eleven to twenty feet to water. Of course there are many fine orchards on land varying from this, but just in proportion as they vary, do they ordinarily fall short of the ideal orchard. I may, perhaps, except from this those locations where, with good soil, but a greater depth to water, there are facilities for irrigation as needed, for no finer orchards can be found than some where it is even fifty to one hundred feet to water, but with good irrigating facilities. There are also good orchards where water is but five or six feet deep, but I consider their permanent success more or less doubtful. There is one thing certain, where the water is near the surface, it must remain at an unvarying depth, for if not, during the ex- Reckoning the value in mere dollars and cents, we should say the information furnished them is worth to our horticulturalists thousands upon thousands of dollars. Prof. Cook's lecture upon Scale Pests and the methods of their suppression should have been heard by every orchardist in the county, and his formula for a kerosene emulsion (which we print on the third page this morning) ought to be worth a trial by every citrus fruit grower troubled with scale pests in the valley. All the papers read interesting and valuable. Seldom has a more important gathering assembled in this city, and a comprehensive report of its proceedings will be found in another part of this paper. As a result of the meeting of the Institute, steps have been taken for the formation of a Farmers' Club here, the first meeting of which will be held at the City Hall next Monday afternoon at 2 o'clock. The organization of the club is for the purpose of disseminating knowledge among the horticultural classes, and every farmer in the valley should become a member. L. M. Holt, who has been touring Orange county in the interests of the Los Angeles Herald for some weeks past, is perhaps the most widely-known newspaperman in the State. Mr. Holt was the original Riverside "boomer," and has "boomed" more towns into flourishing centers of commercial activity than probably any man who ever came over the Sierraas. He helped organize the company owning the Semi-Tropic orange grove at Placentia, and journeyed over this county when there was nothing but a vast prairie between this city and Capistrano. Mr. Holt has been in the newspaper and town-booming business for the past two decades, and in the early days acted as secretary of an organization composed of farmers with headquarters in Los Angeles. He used to travel about the country collecting the five-dollar monthly assessments for the support of the institute and came in contact with many of the farmers in the country at that time. One day he was overtaken by nightfall—if we may use the expression—at the household of a San Gabriel valley farmer who entertained him hospitably during the night and the following day. Some weeks thereafter Mr. Holt having returned to his home in the Angelic burg, his San Gabriel friend called to pay up another assessment. Holt received him pleasantly, but in his association with so many strange faces in the interim had forgotten the man's name. The man handed over his five dollars and Holt sat himself down to write out a receipt. Disinclined to admit the fatal lapse of his memory, and remembering the hospitality of the San Gabriel man so well, Holt fiddled about the receipt, writing in the date line and filling out other blanks, firing at his visitor such questions as "How are the crops down your way?" and others of similar import, hoping thereby to draw from his visitor an admission that would reveal to him some idea of the man's identity. The San Gabriel man replied the crops were excellent, but eighteen to twenty feet to water. Of course there are many fine orchards on land varying from this, but just in proportion as they vary, do they ordinarily fall short of the ideal orchard. I may, perhaps, except from these locations where, with good soil, but a greater depth to water, there are facilities for irrigation as needed, for no finer orchards can be found than some where it is even fifty to one hundred feet to water, but with good irrigating facilities. There are also good orchards where water is but five or six feet deep, but I consider their permanent success more or less doubtful. There is one thing certain, where the water is near the surface, it must remain at an unvarying depth, for if not, during the exceptionally dry years, when the water sinks, the roots will follow down and when there comes another series of wet seasons, the water will rise so as to drown the bottom roots and rot them, thus killing or greatly injuring the tree. There are also, good orchards on heavier loam soils, including adobe, of the more friable type, but the very light or gravelly soils are unsuitable, unless naturally very moist. I have assumed that the best location is in the southern coast counties, but even then there is a choice. The lands best suited to walnut culture lie between the coast range of hills and the sea; generally along the river valleys. In other words, the climate should be comparatively moist, with some fog in summer, as the tree is liable to burn and the nuts do not open well in the hotter sections. PLANTING AND CULTIVATION. Having selected a right location and soil, plow your land deep early in the season and again in February. Pulverize well and plant at once. As regards distance, forty or fifty feet are the usual distances, but I shall refer to that again. If you have irrigation facilities, water sometime within a couple of weeks of planting, run the water along the rows to settle the soil around the roots, no matter if there are heavy rains; it will pay to do this before growth commences. If you have no irrigation facilities it is better to give a bucket or two of water at time of planting. After your tree is planted, thorough cultivation at all times and plenty of irrigation if on dry lands. This does not preclude raising crops between the trees, taking due care to give them plenty of room, as they need it; but these crops should always be hoed crops—never grain. However, there is a growing opinion that alfalfa, where there is plenty of water to irrigate, does not only not injure a walnut orchard but is an actual benefit. This will have to be further demonstrated before it will be generally conceded. I think myself that the best success is attained where no cropping is allowed and nothing raised, except crops to plow under in the winter for green manuring and keeping the soil loose, warm and porous. The best for this purpose is probably the indigenous yellow blossoming clover or Melilotus. In lieu of that, crimson clover or some grain crop may be raised in winter to plow under in early spring. TREES. The selecting of proper trees for planting cannot be too strongly urged. There are hundreds of orchards in this State in which from five to fifty per cent of the trees are practically worthless, and I venture the assertion that there are not ten orchards in Southern California in which all of the trees are of fairly uniform quality. This is owing principally to the custom of planting seedling trees, for although the walnut comes more nearly true to seed than many trees; it can by no means be depended upon; and even if the most careful selection is made there finer sorts than any we now have there is scarcely an orchard but has in it trees that produce nut Epicurus himself; all that is need testing for growth, hardiness, bearing, etc., to adapt them to cation most suitable to bring their best qualities. But with plant only grafted trees, so you know what you will get before eating money and years of care on orchard, or you may be like some of mine, who after cultivating an orchard for eight years, found obliged to dig out more than half trees as failures. AGE OF TREES TO PLANT Opinions differ as to the best plant trees. In this section it has customary to plant trees from three years old; while in the other north, I am told they plant trees from five to ten years; My own observation would indicate largest sized two or three yards where seedlings are planted; and two year grafts, or buds on roots or four years old at the time of planting My reasons for this are that these trees can only be made by pruning and this can only be done right at the time of planting; includes pruning the root before ing. The tree should be dug so that tap root will be less than one diameter; then, if young and thick, will throw down two or three branches that will take on the function roots, although spreading at some of an angle, but yet reaching its depth, securely anchoring them connecting with the lower reseeding moisture; thus carrying it over periods of drought. If they or unthrifty these second tap roots not start. In planting them very slightly against prevailing and cut off at top at four feet ground, thus starting the top buds immediately below that Again, if young and thrifty,the buds will start in an upward direction taking on the functions of six bodies, but spreading sufficient clear one another.

The man handed over his five dollars and Holt sat himself down to write out a receipt. Disinclined to admit the fatal lapse of his memory, and remembering the hospitality of the San Gabriel man so well, Holt fiddled about the receipt, writing in the date line and filling out other blanks, firing at his visitor such questions as "How are the crops down your way?" and others of similar import, hoping thereby to draw from his visitor an admission that would reveal to him some idea of the man's identity. The San Gabriel man replied the crops were excellent, but failed to vouchsafe the faintest glimmer as to what his name might be. "Let me see," said Holt on the verge of distraction, "How do you spell your name?" "With two rs," said the man impressively, and Holt collapsed. D. Edson Smith, the well-known Santa Ana horticulturist and authority on pronunciation, was an interested observer of the occurrences at the Farmers' Institute held in this city last week. Indeed the institute would lack much of its success had it not been for the presence of this enthusiastic old gentleman. It has been truthfully said that Mr. Smith's presence can be noted wherever a new idea may be encountered or a shred of information gleaned, and few Farmers' Institutes have been held in Southern California that have not been attended by him. Some years ago at the Santa Ana race track, at which a large crowd had gathered to witness a footrace between Tommy Morris and some other sprinter, the festivities were unconsciously prolonged by the failure to agree upon an appropriate person to discharge the pistol as a signal for the runners to start. After an interminable wordy wrangle between the factions of both sides, what was the surprise of the large crowd in attendance to observe, complacently walking down the race course in front of the grand stand, with a huge horse pistol in his hand, reaching nearly to the ground, but Mr. Smith himself! He had been selected as the man to start the runners, and he fired the pistol in strict conformity to the rules, like the able horticulturist that he is. Mr. Smith's discussions at the institute were timely and to the point, and we hope to see him in Anaheim often again. The selecting of proper trees for planting cannot be too strongly urged. There are hundreds of orchards in this State in which from five to fifty per cent of the trees are practically worthless, and I venture the assertion that there are not ten orchards in Southern California in which all of the trees are of fairly uniform quality. This is owing principally to the custom of planting seedling trees, for although the walnut comes more nearly true to seed than many trees; it can by no means be depended upon; and even if the most careful selection is made there will be some irregularity. But the trouble would not be very great were it not for the dishonest greed of the nurseryman, assisted by the lack of knowledge on the part of the planters. I have repeatedly seen whole nurseries dug up where all the trees were of one age, say four to five years, and when they were removed to the salesyard they were assorted into classes by size, and called two-year-olds, three-year-olds, etc., generally with two sizes allotted to each age. Now these smaller trees are almost invariably very inferior growers and will never make an orchard; the nuts will not shuck and are of inferior quality. The purchaser only finds after years of care how badly he has been swindled. The sale of such trees is a crime of the worst kind and should be severely punished. The only certain remedy is the planting of grafted or budded trees. In order to make this surely effective, the stock or root should be a uniform grower, like the American black walnut, the California or the Rupestris. The latter, though generally spoken of as dwarfish, is a fine grower when young, and I have seen it in favorable locations, wild, of large growth, and under cultivation it maintains its rapid rate of growth for many years; certainly reaching sufficient size for orchard stock. Next to these comes the ordinary hard shell English walnut, which is fairly even in growth qualities, and if all undersized specimens were rejected would make a fair stock. I think the soft shell walnut unsuitable as a stock upon which to graft; because of the unevenness of growth and the uncertainty as to whether it will make a large or a small tree, besides it is more susceptible to black knot. As regards varieties, I think that some of our best varieties, originated here in California, will prove to be the most suitable for this climate. Although due weight should be given to the old established imported varieties, as the Grenoble, etc. I think, however, that intelligent watchfulness may soon select from our present orchards varieties that will develop into even limbs will grow more squared and will hang down, often to plow under in early spring.

We now come to harvesting keting. The orchard should irrigate just as the nuts begin open, as this makes them open much more evenly. The soft must not be allowed to lie low ground as they will crack open end and also become discolorous.

DIAMOND, Manager for the London Clothing Co, Santa Ana. PERSISTED IN ABLINDING STORM Fate of a Shasta Farmer—Body of His Horse Found at the Base of a Precipice. REDDIT, April 9.—The mystery of the disappearance of B.F. Roberts, the well-known fruit grower, has been partially solved. Late on Friday afternoon, March 5th, Roberts left his home on North Cow creek to go to Montgomery creek to organize a lodge of the Patriots of America. He was seen last on the Backbone road, near Ben Jenkin's residence. There was a fall of snow that evening, and it is presumed that he lost his way and perished. This view of the sudden disappearance has been verified, for although his body has not been found, the remains of his horse have been discovered by a party of searchers. Wednesday morning they came upon the body of the animal lying in a deep gully a half-mile from the Croxford place, about a mile from Pit river. The Croxford place is located on the Backbone road, about twenty-five miles from Ben Jenkin's house, and is the only place on the road before reaching the Wilsey place. A half-mile beyond the Croxford ranch the road makes an acute bend. Here, it is thought, Roberts lost his way, the road being hidden by the fall of snow. The horse had passed over a succession of ridges or shallow precipes of rocks, and lay at the base of one of them. The saddle rested pretty well on the animal's rump, and a short distance away lay the bridle, which had been twisted up as if to answer in place of a whip. The theory is advanced that Roberts had dismounted from the horse, taken off the bridle, and, using it as a whip, forced the old and worn-out animal over the bowlers until finally, through sheer exhaustion, the brute had fallen to rise no more. Then it was that Roberts abandoned the horse, threw away his bridle, and pursued his way. How far he journeyed in the blinding storm until he, too, was exhausted, cannot be known until his body is found. It is thought to be not far distant from where the horse fell. The locality where the horse was found had not previously been searched, as it was not thought that he had reached that far on his journey. April Wisdom. Be sure that your blood is pure, your appetite good, your digestion perfect. To purify your blood and build up your health, take Hood's Sarsaparilla. This medicine has accomplished remarkable cure(s) of all blood diseases. It is the One True Blood Purifier. Hood's Sarsaparilla has power to make you well by purifying and enriching your blood, giving you an appetite, and nerve, mental and digestive AGE OF TREES TO PLANT. Opinions differ as to the best age to plant trees. In this section it has been customary to plant trees from one to three years old; while in the counties other north, I am told they usually plant trees from five to ten years of age. Own observation would indicate the largest two or three year old trees seedlings are planted, and one or two year grafts, or buds on roots three four years old at the time of planting. Four reasons for this are that the best trees can only be made by proper pruning and this can only be done by starting at the time of planting. This includes pruning the root before planting. The tree should be dug so that the root will be less than one inch in diameter, then, if young and thrifty, it will throw down two or three branches that will take on the functions of tap roots, although spreading at something an angle, but yet reaching to great depth, securely anchoring the tree and connecting with the lower reservoirs of moisture, thus carrying it through periods of drought. If the tree is old unthrifty these second tap roots will not start. In planting the tree lean slightly against prevailing winds and cut off the top at four feet from the ends immediately below that point again, if young and thrifty, these upper will start in an upward direction, making on the functions of secondary bodies, but spreading sufficiently to bear one another. They will next again branch naturally at a height of seven to eight feet from the ground and if straggling under roots are clipped off, the tree will maintain a fine upward growth, giving grand open head, high enough from the ground to permit of cultivation much closer than if the tree be branched at six or seven feet up, for then the limbs will grow more squarely out, and will hang down, often to the ground. If the tree be large when cut off so low the limbs are apt to grow like sprouts forming forks and later splitting off thus ruining the tree. Having started the tree right and watched it the first two or three years to maintain the spreading at the proper angle, little more is necessary except to take out occasional limbs that may chafe, and later remove any dead limbs that may shade out near the center of the top. We now come to harvesting and marketing. The orchard should be well irrigated just as the nuts begin to crack open, as this makes them open and fall much more evenly. The soft shell nuts must not be allowed to leach long on the spine of trees than to fifty feet, but I think that when we know more about the growth habits of the varieties the distance will vary more. It is quite possible that varieties will be selected of fine size and quality, but a more dwarfish habit of growth that when budded on the wild walnut, the Rupestris, will produce a tree of even size suitable for planting twenty-five or thirty feet apart, and that when so planted with from forty-eight to seventy trees per acre they will produce more than the larger trees with only seventeen to twenty-seven trees per acre, and in these days of scale bugs, fungus and bacterial diseases it will be much easier to fight them on these smaller trees. It is along these lines of improved varieties and their application to the conditions that surround us that advancement in walnut culture must move. In fact it is the same old story of the celebrated chef, who when asked what was necessary to the making of a soup, replied: "What is absolutely necessary is brains." GRAFTING WAX. Mr. Gardner gives the following formula for liquid grafting wax: Three parts rosin; one part beeswax, one part linseed oil. The wax should be put on warm. L. W. Kirby received last week the sad news of the death, at Trenton, N.J., at 7 o'clock on the morning of Feb. 27, of his brother Dr. John Kirby, in his seventy-first year. Dr. Kirby had been for twenty-one years a resident physician at the State hospital near Trenton, and his death is made subject of a lengthy biographical sketch in the Trenton Sunday Advertiser, from which we take the following: "On Friday night (the 26th ult) Dr. Kirby seemed to be if anything in better health than usual. He was in the office of Dr. Ward in the evening talking over hospital matters. Dr. Kirby retired at about 10 o'clock, and at midnight he awakened his wife and complained of being in severe pain. Dr. Felty, the second assistant physician, was hastily summoned and prescribed some medicine which afforded the sufferer relief. Dr. Kirby got up about 4 o'clock in the morning, and again retired, apparently much better. Mrs. Kirby arose at the usual hour yesterday morning, and while she was dressing noticed a peculiarity in the breathing of her husband. Convinced that he was seriously ill, she hastily sent downstairs for Dr. Felty, but before his arrival Dr. Kirby was dead. Dr. Kirby was in the seventy-first year of his age, and was appointed assistant physician at the hospital in April 1876. Dr. Ward was then, as now, head physician, and Dr. Kirby had charge of the female ward.Dr Britton being the other assistant physician. "Dr. Kirby was a native of Gloucester county and was graduated from the University of Pennsylvania nearly fifty years ago. Before coming to Trenton he practiced medicine for twenty-five years in Salem. He was particularly well adapted for his position in the hospital, being exceedingly careful and methodical in everything that he undertook,a hard worker,gentle and kind by nature,yet firm in his views,his greatly liked.His was a phy limbs will grow more squarely out, and will hang down, often to the ground. Of the tree be large when cut off so low the limbs are apt to grow like sprouts, forming forks and later splitting off, thus ruining the tree. Having started the tree right and watched it the first two or three years to maintain the spreading at the proper angle, little more is necessary except to take out occessional limbs that may chafe, and later to remove any dead limbs that may shade out near the center of the top. We now come to harvesting and marking. The orchard should be well irrigated just as the nuts begin to crack open, as this makes them open and fall much more evenly. The soft shell nuts must not be allowed to lie long on the ground as they will crack open at the end and also become discolored by fog. When one-third of the nuts have fallen they should be picked up, and when a proportion of the remainder have fallen the trees can be shaken or a pole used to knock down the laggards, thus clearing the orchard at twice going over. As the nuts are picked from the ground, remove any hulls that are still sticking, and put in barley sacks as the most convenient way of handling in hauling to the drying ground. Arrived at the drying ground they should be run through a revolving wire cylinder and water thrown over them to wash and clean them thoroughly. They should then be placed in trays of convenient form—I like 2x4 feet, 6 inches deep with slat bottoms—the trays placed in rows in the sun, then by starting at one end of the row, with an empty tray and turning the first tray into that, the second into the first, and so on, they can be rapidly turned. This turning should be done twice a day for four to six days, according to weather. The nuts can then be removed to bins or put into barley sacks and piled in the barn until they are hauled to the shipping point, where they should be graded and sacked in the best manner to suit the market. This can best be done through associations owning or renting a warehouse and having experienced men in charge, with all needful appliances, and the marketing can also best be done through such associations, either by selling to one dealer or seeking a market East, as conditions may indicate. In this way of acting, through associations, all are certain to receive the fair market price, and while by selling or contracting for yourself you may once in a while get a trifle more you will oftener get less and on the whole lose by it. I have said nothing about sulphuring for I believe that bleaching by sulphur fumes is rapidly going out. My advice is don't sulphur until the nuts are sold and when they belong to the other fellow sulphur them if he wants his walnuts spoiled.

To understand the value of what scientific men call protective coloration in animals one need only look at the common ruffed grouse, or partridge, of North America and consider how hard it is to see him in the woods, even where nothing intervenes to hide him from view. His colors agree so well with the background against which he stands that the eye is slow to make him out. Mr. Gregory, in his recent volume of Afghan travel, "The Great Rift Valley," mentions several striking instances of animals thus protected among which that of a certain monkey, Colobus occidentalis, is perhaps the most peculiar. This monkey is covered with a long, silky fur, arranged in alternate stripes of black and white, so handsome that the skin is much prized by the natives for making head ornaments. The contrast of black and white is so marked that at first sight it would seem to preclude concealment, but its value is at once evident when the animal is seen at home. It lives in high forests, where the trees have black trunks and branches, draped with long gray masses of beard moss or lichen. As the monkeys hang from the branches they resemble the lichen so closely that Mr. Gregory found it impossible to recognize them, even at a short distance. Prospective Coercion.
