INSTITUTE PAPERS Continued from Page 2 a cinch on the walnut industry in the future years. The high price of nuts for the last few years has boomed the industry until nuts are being planted quite extensively in other sections. At Salem, Oregon, I am told by people who live there that they think they have a good locality for growing walnuts. A walnut tree near Salem produced the past year forty dollar's worth of nuts, and indications are that walnut orchards will be planted quite extensively in that locality in the near future. When the right nut is found for each locality walnuts will be produced all over the Pacific Coast. This will take some time, so for a number of years yet Southern California will be the main factor in walnut industry. In setting out a walnut orchard there are several things to be considered: Location, soil, water, and the kind of trees to set out—seedlings, budded or grafted trees. If grafted trees are used the kind of root on which they are grafted is an important item. The Santa Barbara soft shell cannot stand the extremes of either heat or cold. One year when the thermometer indicated 115 degrees for part of three days, we lost half our crop. If the tree is on the soft shell root, the soil should be at least three and one half to four feet deep and free from any hardpan, as the root is so soft it cannot penetrate very hard ground. The deeper the soil the better. It is much more satisfactory to have water to irrigate with when needed than to attempt to grow an orchard without it. The grafted walnut can be put on several different kinds of roots: Its own root, the hybrid root, eastern black walnut, and the California wild walnut. By having a variety of important point is how far apart the trees for the most profit. Spent two years in gathering this point. I find in the major cases the most profitable orchard been set 40 feet apart each way trees up to 15 or 16 years old in chard bear as many pounds of new tree as trees set 50 feet apart each. An orchard with trees set 40 feet contains ten trees more to the acclimate one with trees set 50 feet apart expense is about; the same in eachcept picking and curing the nuts ten trees of the former, which cent per pound. A seedling tree in good condition will bear on an average up to six years an average of 525 pounds of fruit. If nuts sell at 9 cents per pound product of the ten extra trees in chard will make a net profit in of the 50-foot orchard, of $420 per tree. When the orchard with the tree feet apart is sixteen years old, do every other tree in each row joints, and leave them 'quinion' that will leave only four trees acre less than the orchard will trees fifty feet apart. Mr. Ware gave the following showing the yield of the Kossi chard in this city during the past years: In 1901, 10,000 pounds of 1902, 5900 pounds; 1903, 5500 pounds. When you set out an orchard the trees off about five feet high with a saw. Don't use a knot shears. If cut with a saw they die back to amount to anything if shears are used; they are inclined die back more or less. Prune them as soon as the nuts are harvested moving the branches that grow from the under side of the lower trunk. This will relieve them of the stress and give them a better chance to up. It is much more satisfactory to have water to irrigate with when needed than to attempt to grow an orchard without it. The grafted walnut can be put on several different kinds of roots: Its own root, the hybrid root, eastern black walnut, and the California wild walnut root. By having a variety of roots to graft on we can at least double the acreage of the walnut industry in California. We can graft on the root that will grow the best on the land we wish to set out. Black adobe soil seems to be one of the best on which to grow walnuts; the trees are very vigorous and the foliage a very dark green. I think the land will average a larger crop of nuts than any other class of soil. Alkali or salt land, if not too strong, if the irrigation is managed right, will grow good trees if budded on the wild walnut, while on the soft shell root would not grow at all. When we have a dry year the orchard on this class of soil must be irrigated in the winter before the trees start out or the growth of the previous year will die back, and in some cases the whole top of the tree will die back to the body; under the same conditions winter irrigation will make these trees come out in the spring without any dieback. Five years' experience proved the above to be correct in my case. The wild walnut root will grow in soil that is too hard for the soft shell root to penetrate, and is practically gopher proof. They do not like and seldom will touch the root. The wild root has the disadvantage of being inclined to sprout, and the sprouts have to be carefully removed without injury to the bark. If you injure the bark, in some cases the wound will not heal, but will begin to rot and slough just below the ground and as a result the tree dies. In selecting trees for an orchard the indications are that the majority of the growers are going to put out budded or grafted trees if they can get them, as the demand is far in advance of the supply. In selecting a grafted walnut it is better to select one of the quality that the market demands—one with a name and a pedigree; a record of how many As to that Rumor EDITOR GAZETTE.—An article appeared in the Plain Dealer last which does the writer great injustice.

In selecting trees for an orchard the indications are that the majority of the growers are going to put out budded or grafted trees if they can get them, as the demand is far in advance of the supply. In selecting a grafted walnut it is better to select one of the quality that the market demands—one with a name and a pedigree; a record of how many nuts it bears; blight resistant, etc. In buying a budded nut without name or pedigree you are in the same position as the man who puts out a seedling orchard. You have to wait until the nuts come into bearing to prove what they are going to do. After finding a desirable seedling to graft from it takes at least seven years to get an idea of what it is going to do. The Hindes Placentia Perfection it one of the grafted walnuts that has been grown long enough to be known to the trade. We put out five acres of these nuts in 1898. We have kept a record of the nuts produced. The third year they produced $\frac{2}{3}$ of a pound to the tree, the fourth year $5\frac{1}{2}$ pounds, the fifth year $12\frac{1}{4}$ pounds, the sixth year 17 33-100 pounds, seventh year 33 2-10 pounds, eighth year 29 39-100 pounds; being eight years out and producing 99 pounds of nuts per tree in all. This is not a large yield, but part of these years have been bad for blight and this tree is not any more resistant to blight than the ordinary seedling. It is hard to find the equal of the Perfection nut as to quality, and it sells at an advanced price. Now that many nurserymen are studying the grafting and improvement of the walnut, we may look in a few years to have trees immune from blight and producing much larger tonnage per acre than we now get. In setting out an orchard a very im- TRADE CONDITIONS R. G. Dun & Co.'s Monthly Review for April in Southern California. California grain crop is growing uninterruptedly and promises an excellent yield. The deciduous fruits are maturing rapidly. Pear crop will be heavy, prunes and peaches good average, apricots light. Canners are contracting peaches at $40 per ton. Vineyards are in unusually good condition and the beet and bean fields hold bumber crops. The destruction of sugar factory at Salinas will necessitate longer campaigns at adjacent plants as product of tributary fields will have to be transported. The conditions for dairy products were never better. Southern California has just closed the celery season, netting $600,000 to growers, and is now busy marketing her citrus crop, which conservatively estimated, will net orchardists $16,000,000. The oil wells are still flowing, and not a pay streak lost in the mining districts. San Faancisco's business section is destroyed, but the same conditions that made her the greatest city on the Pacific coast remain and will cause the rebuilding just as quickly as structural material can be brought to the cleared ground. Commercial centers do not come haphazard, but are forced by location. San Francisco is a city that has built many large fortunes.

As soon as rebuilding of the city is financed, either with aid of national government or by private financiers, there will be a large influx of capital and the labor supply will be drawn on heavily all over the United States. Every factory in the state will be working full capacity and all jobbing and retail trades forced to activity. Pacific Coast securities will be temporarily weakened, but it will be a good time to buy. There can be no permanent setback to any part of the state. In Southern California interest centers just now in the orange crop. The returns are the largest in history of the industry. The market is strong.

Locally business is now a little quiet, a reaction from the week following the San Francisco disaster which made great demands on supplies. A large increase is looked for in wholesale business in all lines as Los Angeles jobbers will have to supply needs of many of San Francisco's customers until that city is ready to supply them again. There is a lull in building operations! There were 838 permits in April, values rolling up to $200,000,000 mark. Failures for the month, 17; liabilities $50,000, assets $30,000.
