A. DERGE. ANAHEIM, CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 14. 1899. THE WALNUT. Paper read by J. B. Neff at the Anaheim Farmers' Institute, Monday, Sept. 11, 1899. There are three species of walnuts that are of commercial importance in the United States—the black walnut, the butternut or white walnut, and the Persian, commonly called the English walnut. The last named is the only one of any importance in California, and probably originated in Persia or Asia Minor. From there it spread westward to Rome, and was distributed throughout continental Europe. The walnut was known to the Greeks as the "Persian" nut, or the "Royal" nut, and to the Romans as "Jupiter's Acorn," or the "Nut of the Gods," showing that it has always been held in high esteem. Until the introduction of black walnut wood, very high prices were paid for Persian walnut wood for such articles as gunstocks and furniture. There are no records to show when walnuts were first planted in California, but they have no doubt been grown in a small way since the first missions were established. The range of profitable cultivation of walnuts extends over a comparatively small area, so that there is but little danger of overproduction; and it is scarcely likely that enough walnuts can be produced in California to supply the demand in the United States. There has been but little trouble to find a market for all the walnuts that have been grown in California; and, with proper methods of marketing and distribution, good prices ought to be realized for all that will be grown that are of good quality. The poor grade walnuts are used in France for oil making, 100 pounds of walnuts producing about 18 pounds of oil, which is used largely in place of olive oil. No walnut oil in commercial quantities has been made in California. Walnuts should be planted on land having at least six feet of good soil, not OUR FRUITS IN THE EAST Corporate, Exchange and Other Methods of Marketing—Some Conclusions Offered. With cheap and efficient transportation and an adequate marketing system, it would be physically possible for California to supply the nation with nearly all the fruit it can require and in infinite variety, and it is to this end that the best energies of fruit growers and dealers should tend. Before attempting to judge of the adequacy of any method of marketing fruit products, it will be necessary to form a clear idea of what is needful to be accomplished. Our products must not only be put into the hands of those desirous of consuming them, but they must also be brought to the attention of those who ought to become consumers of them. There is an important work of education to be done. That system of marketing is best which, other things being equal, makes the largest net return to the producer and, at the same time, brings our products within the financial reach of the largest number of people. The industrial well-being of California as much depends upon the quantity of fruit marketed as upon the prices obtained. A limited market even at fancy prices will not subserve the requirements of the State. There must be no glutting of one market and starving of another. There should be a steady and well-distributed supply over as long a period as facilities for production will permit. An industrial warfare must be waged when necessary for the possession of desirable markets. In an article upon "Competitive Fruit Producing Districts" I hope to make this fact clear. Expenditures for educating consumers and capturing new markets ought THE HOME DAIRY. Paper read by W. J. Cole of Hardserabble at the Westminster Farmers' Institute, yesterday, Sept. 13. Private dairies in Southern California are few and far between. More than nine-tenths of all the butter in Southern California is made at public creameries. The quotations would indicate that creamery butter was the highest priced butter on the market, but such is not the case, as nearly every city in the United States gets some of its butter from private dairies, paying a higher price for it than the highest creamery quotation. Some people think that butter, in order to be good, must be made on a large scale, with improved machinery. I claim it is no more necessary to have a separator to make good butter than it is to have a mowing machine and wheel rake to make good hay; in fact, the highest priced hay sold in New York city is raked by hand to avoid gathering in dust and dirt. I claim I can make just as good butter from one cow, the cream raised in pans, and churned in a dash churn, as any creamery with the milk of its hundreds of cows separated by any kind of a separator and the latest improved churn. Do not misunderstand me. I do not advise going back to the old way. The mowing machine is a labor-saving machine; it will not make long, rusty coarse hay short and sweet; neither will the separator and the latest improved churn make good butter from poor milk. I have used a Delavel separator nine years, and I would sooner part with my mowing machine than with it. The mowing machine I use 30 days in the year; the separator is used every day. My neighbors say they patronize the public creameries because it saves so much work in the house. My butter is all made in a brick dairy by myself and a hired man. It does not interfere. danger of overproduction; and it is scarcely likely that enough walnuts can be produced in California to supply the demand in the United States. There has been but little trouble to find a market for all the walnuts that have been grown in California; and, with proper methods of marketing and distribution, good prices ought to be realized for all that will be grown that are of good quality. The poor grade walnuts are used in France for oil making, 100 pounds of walnuts producing about 18 pounds of oil, which is used largely in place of olive oil. No walnut oil in commercial quantities has been made in California. Walnuts should be planted on land having at least six feet of good soil, not underlaid by hardpan, and where the water does not stand on the surface. There must also be water for irrigation, as walnuts need water at least twice during the summer, and three times will be better. The trees should not be less than 45 feet apart, and 50 feet apart is better on soil that will make trees grow vigorously. If planted in this way peaches or apricots may be grown between the walnut trees, but such trees should be planted so as to have only the same number of peach or apricot as there are of walnut trees, and all equidistant. Both varieties can usually be grown together ten years, when the walnuts will need all the room, and the others have to be taken out. In planting walnuts only the very best variety and the strongest trees should be planted, and in order to have the best, as well as a uniform variety, grafted walnuts should be planted. In selecting grafted trees for planting it is not necessary that the tallest trees be taken, as it is preferable to have good roots and a stocky stem. Trees with good roots and strong, one-year-old grafts will do much better than older trees that have grown too closely in nursery rows. Walnut trees do not require the heavy pruning that is needed by most of the deciduous fruit trees. The lower limbs should start at 4 to 5 feet from the ground, and in such a way as to have the heavy side of the tree to the southwest. A good rule for pruning is to cut off only those limbs in the way of the team when cultivating, or that will tend to draw the tree too much toward the northeast or away from the prevailing winds. The young trees should be supported by stakes for the first two or three years. A walnut orchard that has been well cared for will begin to bear paying crops after the fifth year from planting, and will increase its yield for many years. Walnut trees will live to a very old age in suitable localities. Trees in Spain and in the south of France that are believed to be over 300 years old bear regular crops of 400 to 500 pounds of nuts. Walnut trees are more free from pests than most orchard trees. The roots are sometimes affected by "root knots," which should be removed when on the main stem of the tree, or on the root crown, and the affected part dampened either with Bordeaux mixture or with a weak solution of sulphate of copper, which will usually prevent a return of the disease. The only other disease has been known as "walnut bacteriosis," which has caused considerable alarm and which is not fully understood yet. This disease affects only the young wood and the growing nuts before the shells are hard. Prof. Pierce, who is making a study of this disease under direction of the Agricultural Department, says there is no danger of the trees being killed outright, but with warm, damp weather during the early summer the growing crop might be badly damaged. The large shipping firms, and the Southern California Fruit exchange as well, have very highly perfected systems of keeping in touch with the different markets and of diverting the cars while in transit to the most promising market. This is done from the ncia as much depends upon the quantity of fruit marketed as upon the prices obtained. A limited market even at fancy prices will not subserve the requirements of the State. There must be no glutting of one market and starving of another. There should be a steady and well-distributed supply over as long a period as facilities for production will permit. An industrial warfare must be waged when necessary for the possession of desirable markets. In an article upon "Competitive Fruit Producing Districts" I hope to make this fact clear. Expenditures for educating consumers and capturing new markets ought to be assessed upon the entire industry and not be borne by single shippers whose fruit, without their knowledge or consent, has been diverted to an ex-perimental market, and possibly sacrificed for the common good. To accomplish these ends a high degree of centralization must characterize the ideal marketing agency. Indeed, the ideal instrumentality would be a single corporation, or co-operation, handling all the fruit shipped from California and, with its auctions and agencies, covering the entire distribution district, paying for the fruit f. o. b. California and placing it where it saw fit at its own risk and profit, or acting in a fiduciary capacity for the California growers as a whole. I am free to confess that, but for the fact that they do not always give to the fruit grower all beyond a fair compensation for services rendered, the great fruit shipping firms tend strongly toward a realization of the ideal fruit marketing instrumentality. Their systems are not yet completely developed, but they are mainly working along right lines. There are some limitations to be set against this declaration which will be pointed out as we come to them. These great fruit shipping companies employ none but the brightest and most thoroughly trained men to attend to the distributing and sale of their shipments of fruit and they find the best men the cheapest no matter what salaries they command. This is absolutely essential because they have, in the persons of the fruit jobbing fraternity, to deal with perhaps the craftiest set of men doing business on this continent. The hazardous nature of their business makes them so. They habitually "take every trick" that comes their way, and only men with masterful will powers and perfect familiarity with the fruit business can safeguard the shippers' interests against the aggressions of this skilled and often "foxy" fraternity. If I were to offer a criticism upon the management of the Southern California Fruit exchange it would be that there is an apparent disinclination on the part of home exchanges to pay such salaries as will keep in their service the very best men to be had. No man is good enough to manage the affairs of a fruit shipping firm in any considerable Eastern distribution district who is not capable of entering the commission business on his own account with good prospects of acquiring a fortune. That should be the test and a man who can stand that test is worth a substantial salary and will prove cheaper than a cheaper man. The leading shipping firms appreciate this fact and pay liberal salaries.

The only other disease has been that known as "walnut bacteriosis," which has caused considerable alarm and which is not fully understood yet. This disease affects only the young wood and the growing nuts before the shells are hard. Prof. Pierce, who is making a study of this disease under direction of the Agricultural Department, says there is no danger of the trees being killed outright, but that with warm, damp weather during the early summer the growing crop might be badly damaged. This, however, is scarcely probable in our climate, which is noted for its dryness. Considerable damage was done in some localities last year by an aphis on the leaves and young growth, but it is to be hoped that it was only the development of an abnormally dry year and the excessive heat. There is also a scale known as the "walnut scale," but this does no particular damage, as it infests the large limbs principally. Irony of Fate. By a strange prank of fate, nine Spaniards who were with Cervera's fleet at Santiago last week assisted in coaling the United States battleship Iowa at San Francisco. Innocently enough they came half way round the world to perform this service for the ship that did its part toward destroying the Spanish fleet. The men were firemen on board the Almirante Oquendo, which made for shore in such haste when she was raked by the Oregon. They were taken prisoners and later were paroled. In New York they shipped with the steamer Mattewan as coal passers and firemen, and when that vessel came around Cape Horn they came with her. The Spaniards are small of stature, but muscular. Capt. Cannor says they are good hands. All of them intend to become American citizens, and one of them, Leandro Lara, has already taken out his first naturalization papers. Lara does not speak English, but in his native tongue and with many gestures, he expressed last night his admiration for the Iowa. Seemingly he bears no grudge nor has he any regret over the outcome of Santiago battle. He says that neither he nor his companions will ever go back to Spain. They would be pressed into naval service again if they did. Chief Engineer Wilson and Assistant Engineer McDonald of the Mattewan were formerly with the Merrimac. No man is good enough to manage the affairs of a fruit shipping firm in any considerable Eastern distribution district who is not capable of entering the commission business on his own account with good prospects of acquiring a fortune. That should be the test and a man who can stand that test is worth a substantial salary and will prove cheaper than a cheaper man. The leading shipping firms appreciate this fact and pay liberal salaries. The large shipping firms, and the Southern California Fruit exchange as well, have very highly perfected systems of keeping in touch with the different markets and of diverting the cars while in transit to the most promising market. This is done from the home offices in California which keep themselves constantly informed as to whereabouts of every car and the condition of every market, where others as well as they themselves are shipping, and so are able to divert their cars to the best and least overstocked market. Diversions in transit do not entail additional expense on account of freight, the charge being practically the same wherever the cars go. There is this difference between the exchange and corporate systems: The local exchange or owner has the power at all times to direct the route of his fruit and determine its disposition. It is not sold until he orders its sale. Offers are submitted to him and he accepts or rejects as he sees fit. With Earl and Porter the owner parts with control of his fruit when it is turned over to the shipping company and the central office determines its fate. The former method is likely to give the greatest satisfaction to the shipper, but the latter is likely to produce the best results, provided always that the shipping firm is not minded to send an occasional car to an experimental market in the hope of laying, at some cost, a foundation for future business of a more profitable nature. I cannot of my own knowledge say that this is ever done. I have merely received intimations that it may be done sometimes. It is ever so essential that this pioneering work be done, but, as stated above, it somehow ought to be done at the cost of the entire industry and not at the cost of some single shipper whose consent to the enterprise was not asked. Aside from this possible disposition of fruit the central office or Eastern representative of exchange or company will be in better position to dispose of fruit wisely than any owner can be. There are three principal methods of making sales of green fruit and each has its champions, the f. o. b. California system, the selling delivered system Madame Modjeska. The first production of Clinton Art's new play, "Marie Antoinette" was presented in San Diego by Madame Modjeska and her company before crowded house. The play was written expressly for Madame Modjeska, her interpretation of it was received with marked enthusiasm. The play was magnificently staged by John Fisher, Modjeska's manager, and its scenery, painted by a New York artist Thomas Moses, was much admired.Modjeska was recalled a number times and responded graciously. She showed no signs of having lost any her talent and ability, and began season in the best of health and spirit. Her support includes John Elerd, who played the part of Louis in a manner that left nothing to be desired, and Wadsworth Harris, who impersonated Mirabeau. The drama "Marie Antoinette" presents a leap of decline and fall of Marie Antoinette in a prologue and five acts, opening scene deals in a comedy with episodes of Marie Antoinette at her favorite estate of Little Trial and suggests the dawn of mutualection between the King and Queen after seven years of marriage. The action proceeds in a series graphic scenes throughout the stage period of the decline of the monarch. Each act is written in a different so as to present a new atmosphere.Modjeska was on the stage during greater part of the play, and put forth the part of the Queen with subdued power. She was superb in storm scene, and in her unnerving scene, at the beginning of which she lives over her formumps in a dream, she was infinitely pathetic.Modjeska will play in some principal cities of Southern California and will then go to San Francisco later for a tour of the principal cities of the country.

South of Point Conception on the coast of California, a range of wooded mountains follows the inland turn of the shore a little way and then off to the east from the ocean meets another link in a mountain chain that, with other ranges curving to the south, forms a circular mountain wall with its ends neighboring the Pacific. Rugged, steep, and high in the interior, and reaching its climax in snow-capped peaks a hundred miles, perhaps, to the east of the sea as a beam of the setting sun travels, this wall is irregular, broken and twisted; here venturesome mountain spurs make inroads on the valley, there the lower country encroaches upon the domain of the hills with flaring valleys or narrow passes. High ridges sink into lower slopes where ravines lie, and at measured intervals the sentinel peaks of Mount Pinos, Mount Wilson, Mount San Antonio, Strawberry Peak, Mount San Bernardino, Mount San Gorgonio and Mount San Jacinto stand guard. Between these mountains and the ocean the country slopes gently, little rounded hills in series and in groups making pretentious efforts to create valleys of their own, the broad beds, "washes" of shallow water courses, with the broader neighboring mesas varying the landscape. The shoreline curves inward between Point Conception and San Diego, and a line of summer isles reaching southward from the Point protects the peaceful waters along the south coast. This is the land best known as Southern California. It is a country of eternal snow—on mountain peaks 12,000 feet high; it is a country of eternal summer—in the smiling valleys radiant with perennial sea fishing between the islands and the coast make merry music with the reel. Any description of California south of Teachapi without reference to that vast country east of the mountain wall that encircles the better known sections, would indeed be like a banquet without a desert. Vaguely described as "The Desert," the wilderness between the mountains and the Colorado river has many points of interest all its own. It is a desert with the treasures of King Solomon's Mines; it is a desert with more salt of the earth than any other in the world; it is a desert with oases that have the atmosphere of life; it is a desert with mountains miles high and basins 200 feet below the surf of the Pacific; it is a desert of sand and yet of luxuriant vegetation; it is a desert so unique in both animal and vegetable life as to be of endless interest. Here lives the sand terrapin, almost a counterpart of the mud-turtle, but an absolute teetotaler. Water to him is an unknown quantity that no algebraist could make him appreciate the value of. Yet the turtle weed that grows in baked sand in the fierce direct and refracted rays of the sun, with moisture neither in air nor land, gathers within its leaf a drop of water. Tiny rabbits frisk about underneath the mesquite tree—a tree, by the way, that in the desert, springing from one stem, buries its limbs in the sand, whence it grows again, forming an almost impenetrable chaparral. Miniature quail, too, live in this arid land. Long reefs that may be traced for miles mark sea-level on the sides of basins, shells that were once of the ocean lying amid a wilderness of sand. Caeti of fantastic forms, volcanic creations of curious shapes, bare, gaunt mountains, levels of seemingly endless sand, with which the winds play, and where sudden thunderstorms break violently—these are of the desert. —From "California South of Teachapi." TREE PLANTING. Agricultural Department Bureau Offers to Co-operate with Farmers. WASHINGTON, D. C., September 9.—The Division of Forestry of the De- Agricultural Department Bureau Offers to Co-operate with Farmers. WASHINGTON, D.C., September 9. The Division of Forestry of the Department of Agriculture has just issued an interesting circular on the subject of tree planting. The co-operative plan, announced in a former circular of the Forestry Division, by which farmers, lumbermen and others are assisted in handling forest lands, has been so well received that the division offers, in the latest circular, a similar co-operative plan to aid farmers and other land owners in the treeless regions of the West and wherever it is desirable to establish forest plantations. Since October, 1898, 40,000 acres of woodland have received attention. Applications have been received for assistance in the management of 1,500,000 acres, and attention is being given to them as rapidly as the resources of the division will permit. Public recognition of the success of better methods applied to the management of timber lands is rapidly increasing. Equal success must follow the application of such methods to the developing of forest plantations, wood lots, and even shelter-breaks and windbreaks. Upon that fact the co-operative plan set forth in this circular is based. For fuel and fencing, the wood lot and other forest plantings are equally desirable to dwellers on the plains. On E. Thartley's farm, near Lincoln, Neb., an acre of land set to willow has for several years provided all necessary fuel used on the farm, and today there is more standing timber on it than ever before. The planting is in a ravine of little value for general farming. A plantation of hardy catalpa near Hutchinson, Kan., planted in the spring of 1892, began a year ago to reimburse the owner. The trees taken out at that time, in thinning the plantation, were cut into fence posts. The trees removed averaged 18 feet in height, one of the tallest measuring 21 feet 9 inches. By conserving the moisture and tempering the wind, forest plantations modify the local climate to a very marked degree. As the farmers of the plains come to recognize more fully the great indirect as well as direct value of forest plantations, wood lots, shelterbreaks and windbreaks, scattered over the treeless regions, the result will prove of vast importance in the development of the West.
