Nutwood Illustrating what may be done in the celebrated walnut growing district in and about Anaheim the present advanced state of development of that section is in strong contrast to what was to be seen in the same location six to ten years ago, when all was bare prairie, producing nothing more profitable than crops of barley. The owner of "Nutwood," E. P. Fowler, has mixed brains with the soil, making a specialty of raising not alone walnut trees, but walnuts. With careful intelligent handling, a type of tree has here been developed, with a symmetrical wide spreading top, the branches of which almost meet between the rows. When filled with nuts just before harvest it is a goodly sight to see the wealth producing crop with which the limbs of the trees are loaded. While making a judicious application of fertilizers to his orchards, he also believes with Dr. Wiley, the governmental expert chemist, in the use of lime for soils. Mr. Fowler goes even farther than this generalization and believes in it for direct results in producing nuts from walnut trees. He has succeeded well in producing a woody growth, as the young, vigorous and heavy-topped walnut trees abundantly testify, but being a practical man he does not wish to go on producing branches and leaves only. Having satisfied himself by the actual experiment of digging below the surface and cutting off a part of the roots of a thrifty but barren tree, thus making it a fruit producer, he and his neighbors experimented to find what methods would produce fruiting without such drastic remedies as cutting away the root growth. As a result it was found that a liberal application of lime to the soil served stated by its president, J. V. Viola is in favor of incorporating, pro- the company's acreage is not included in the city.

Bennett reports the following real estate sales this week: Charles Salsbury has exchanged 30 acres for a house and lot in Los Angeles belonging to D: A. Kirkpatrick. Charles T. Robinson has sold ranch to Ed Martin of Los Angeles. J. H. Wright has sold 164 acres Mr. Simpson of Los Angeles. Realty sales at Cypress are numerous, many outside parties being purchasers. One real estate firm ports the transfers have averaged acres daily during the month. Rev. Haresnape, the new Congregational minister, preached an eloquent sermon on Sunday. A large concoction of people attended the services. Rev. Haresnape has moved with family into the parsonage. Having satisfied himself by the actual experiment of digging below the surface and cutting off a part of the roots of a thrifty but barren tree, thus making it a fruit producer, he and his neighbors experimented to find what methods would produce fruiting without such drastic remedies as cutting away the root growth. As a result it was found that a liberal application of lime to the soil served a two-fold purpose. Not only did it check wood growth and thus tend to the production of fruit, but the hardening of the fibre of the wood also rendered the tender shoots which are the first to be attacked by walnut blight, resistant to the growth of the black fungus, which is seen as an effect of the work of the "thrips." Hence more fruit and less disease. Mr. Fowler first satisfied himself of such benefits by applying a carload of lime from the Los Alamitos sugar factory season before last to a small tract. Last season he used 400 tons on 110 acres. He recommends distributing it evenly over the surface, about four tons per acre, irrigating the ground and plowing under to a depth of about nine inches. He now says: "I am well satisfied that there has been a great saving by the use of the lime and that the percentage of diseased nuts will not be as great as last year." Also, "My walnuts this season delivered to the Fullerton Walnut Growers' association, were six pounds per sack heavier, or 10 per cent better filled than others delivered to same association." As a general rule this season, nuts were only about 60 per cent filled. According to Mr. Fowler, this was not because of lack of water, but directly resultant from a lack of lime in the soil. In marketing the nuts, E. K. Benchley, President of the Fullerton association, says that buyers insist upon getting "Fowler's" walnuts as long as they last. In comparing results from two twenty-acre tracts which adjoined each other, one of which had lime and the other had none, Mr. Fowler says there were a great many less culls from the limed twenty than from the other one. Obviously it is important in the handling of an orchard to bring all the trees up to the maximum of bearing. Water, cultivation and fertilizing is of Mr. Simpson of Los Angeles.

Shorty Owens has opened a store where all the delicacies of the season may be procured. The Edison electric company will shortly install lights here, the stock and milk factory signifying their ingness to use the same. It is probable that the factory will put in an electric motor and use the "juice" operate its machinery. Lights will also be installed on the principal thoroughfares. N. I.

Bennett expects his aged properties out here from the east shortly make this their permanent home. He has been refitting and renovating his home in anticipation of their coming. A number of enterprising townspeople headed by Grandpa Joe Speidel voluntarily constructed an earth sidewalk along a section of our principal street that is a great convenience to pedestrians and belated wayfare especially during the dark and rainy nights. Joe first conceived this lawable undertaking and enlisted the services of the willing workers with their trusty picks and their shovels and hoes.

Obviously it is important in the handling of an orchard to bring all the trees up to the maximum of bearing. Water, cultivation and fertilizing is of great importance. When all this has been done the use of lime should not be neglected. Many of the trees in Mr. Fowler's grove produce in a good season 150 pounds of nuts from each tree. Suppose that all the trees on the 180 acres of this tract did this, at 25 trees per acre, at the association price of 13 cents, it would give $487.50 total income per acre, or for the whole tract the magnificent sum of $87,750, which is certainly worth striving for. It has been fully demonstrated that the walnut tree will respond liberally to good treatment. It should be watered, cultivated, fertilized and last but not by any means least, limed according to its needs. Then when its spreading branches meet those of its neighbor, they will all together shade the ground, conserve moisture and with a corresponding root growth well nourished, these noble trees will go on producing wealth for their owner for generations. CORRESPONDENT. Huntington Beach The incorporation of this town, which is favored by citizens generally has in its path an obstacle which is expected to cause considerable delay. The Huntington Beach company, asple headed by Grandpa Joe Speier voluntarily constructed an earthsidewalk along a section of our principal street that is a great convenient to pedestrians and belated wayfare especially during the dark and rainy nights. Joe first conceived this laudable undertaking and enlisted the services of the willing workers with the trusty picks and their shovels and their hoes. When all were putting in the best licks and making a walk as smooth as glass, Shorty Owens says he heard Joe slipped over and dunned his Sunday-go-to-meetings and lit out for Los Angeles to take a flyer at the real estate market. Ah, there, Joseph! On Tuesday evening, January 16th number of friends gathered at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Lee Smith with out them knowing anything about the occasion being Mrs. Smith’s birthday. She was presented with a chocolate set by her many friends. An enjoyable evening was spent and later refreshments were served. C. T Robinson, an old resident, who sold his place, will leave soon for Billings, Montana. His many friends regret to hear of his going but wish him good luck in his new home. Los Alamitos Los ALAMITOS, Jan. 19, 1906. The dry weather croaker has ceased his doleful speculations. The total rainfall here for the season is 7.2 inches, and the record for the week is 1.65 inches with clouds still hanging heavy. The recent showers have come just right to be absorbed into the soil. Crops are now assured on upland and in valley. President, J. V. Vickers, incorporating, provided acreage is not included With that property left would be too small to meet of the people in the area are campaigning for a one-half miles square trade has appointed a assisting of Messrs.

It is the policy of the factory management to have the crop planted early. An early harvest and early beginning of the sugar campaign are to the advantage of all concerned. The Osmosing of the half million gallons of molasses in storage at the factory begins today. This will turn into raw sugar a million pounds or more to be added to the total of last season's output. Shipments continue of sugar factory lime for application to walnut orchards, it being the only proved remedy for walnut blight thus far discovered, having the advantage of being cheap as well as effective. Mr. E. P. Fowler of Anaheim, who used 400 tons of it last season, states that his walnuts were six pounds per sack heavier or 10 per cent better filled than others delivered to the same association. The sugar company has just completed a two mile, 18-inch pipe line which will irrigate the 1000-acre tract east for beets, from the factory wells.

EDITOR GAZETTE—There are several varieties of Chili peppers but only two are grown commercially in California. One of these, the bright red, called the Long Red, having pods from 6 to 10 inches long and pointed, is the best known; while the very dark cone-shaped Chili, usually known as the Mexican chili, is not so commonly grown. Chilis are most successfully grown on rich sandy loam which does not form a crust after water has been run over it; but it is not best to grow chilis more than two years in succession on even the best of soils without fertilizing or plowing in a cover crop. The chili roots are shallow feeders and draw heavily on the plant food near the surface. Great care should be taken in selecting seed so as to have as few non-producing plants as possible, as well as to have the most profitable plants. The seed should be taken from that part of the field producing the best and earliest ripening plants. The best location for seed-beds is on sandy ground, as this warms earlier in the spring and there is less liability of "damping-off" of the plants if there should be an excess of moisture. The seed may be sown in the last week in February in beds that can be protected from frost, as the chili plant is very sensitive to cold. Seed enough may be put on so as to have about four seeds to the square inch. Rake in lightly and then cover with about ¼ inch of damp sand which should be kept damp until the plants are well up. After this it is best to put on water enough to keep the plants in a thrifty condition until they aoe about 2½ inches high, when they may be transplanted to the field. If 'damping-off' should begin to show in the seed-bed, all the infected plants as well as those within an inch of them should be carefully taken out with a trowel and thrown away. It is best to select a new location for the seed-bed each year. Plow the ground deeply where the chilis are to be planted, and harrow one of the old family retains a Scotchman named William, who not believe in glossing over the for the sake of sparing his life feelings.

If 'damping-off' should begin to show in the seed-bed, all the infected plants as well as those within an inch of them should be carefully taken out with a trowel and thrown away. It is best to select a new location for the seed-bed each year. Plow the ground deeply where the chilis are to be planted, and harrow down well. Then have a common sled-marker, which will mark three and one-half feet apart. Plant three feet apart in the rows, making the earth firm around the young plants. If the ground is not thoroughly wet it is best to irrigate before planting. Planting should be done as soon as danger from frost is past. The cultivation should be with a view to make a ridge of earth, having the chili plants in the center. This makes a convenient furrow for irrigating and keeps the water from standing around the plants, as standing water is injurious to them. Chilis, being shallow-rooted, require water at frequent intervals after they begin to bloom, and it is often necessary to run a small stream down the rows every ten days. Some kind of cultivating should be done after each irrigation until the plants are too large to allow a cultivator to pass between the rows. Chilis grow best when there are clear warm days and warm nights. If the chilis are intended for drying the picking is not done until the chili is all red; any green spots will be white when dried. If the chilis are wanted for canning they are picked while of a dark green color. The usual manner of drying is by running a twine through the stems and hanging in the air on a action upon the nerves which carry the blood vessels.
