POINTS ON WALNUT BLIGHT PROF. SMITH ON WORK PERFORMED AT WHITTIER Improved Cultural Practice and Soil Fertilization Increasing Production of Orchards—Top-Grafting Large Trees with Scions of Immune Stock Prof. Ralph E. Smith of the Whittier agricultural laboratory deals extensively with Walnut Blight and Culture in his recently issued report, extracts from which were published in our columns last week. No question now before the orchardists of Southern California possesses greater interest than the blight now affecting walnut trees. That scientific agencies will demonstrate that can be controlled, and finally stamped out, is the opinion shared by many growers. Many absurd notions have been given circulation regarding the nature and origin of the blight, and it is a pleasure to read the sensible report of this expert contended with the interesting account of his work during the year. If ever a remedy for this affection of the trees is to be found, and we believe it soon will be, it must come from scientific such as the author of this report, who has the added advantage of co-operation of a number of the most advanced walnut growers in the state. A large amount of work on walnut blight has been carried on in Southern California at the Whittier laboratory, and still continues. The appropriation of $4000 made by the 1905 legislature was expended in an investigation of the nature of the disease and the possibility of its control by ages fully twice as large, and the tree has typically a tall regular form approaching that of the eastern black walnut. This is classed by Dr. Jepson as Juglans hindsii Jepson. The origin of the northern California walnut is much in doubt. While this tree is one of the commonest grown for shade and ornament about many of the towns in central and northern California, yet there are only a very few places where there is any indication of the tree having been indigenous. Considerable attention has been given to this interesting question and we have found but three locations where the walnut trees go back beyond the knowledge of any white person. These are: 1. near Walnut Creek, Contra Costa county; 2. Walnut Grove, Sacramento county; 3. a point in the mountains of Napa county northeast of Napa City, near the west slope of the so-called Wooden Valley." In each of these places, and at no other which land, there were large old walnut trees growing at the first white settlement. These valleys do not appear seen indigenous to the locality they are found, but their origin is an extreme one. Morphological and lesions are being made by Mr.pon this subject. The northern and Southern California walnuts have been found satisfactory as a root stock for the English but we have as yet no sufficient comparison between them to judge timely as to which is the better comparisons are now being until finally they have been changed. No marked loss in trees in any one another method an old orchard tending with nurses fororia black walnut to plant than the nuts in object of this my black walnut trunk four years old at the top of the ground is closely they should be give young black to grow. This is in most of our own any disadvantage the trees are all young grafted to bearing early, so this plan to have started by the tree cut out the old trunk as well as siderable one, or ability of the Em sunburn.

Thither investigation and other phases A large amount of work on walnut blight has been carried out in Southern California at the Whittier laboratory, and still continues. The appropriation of $4000 made by the 1905 legislature was expended in an investigation of the nature of the disease and the possibility of its control by spraying the trees with different substances. This investigation has been made one of the chief features of the work of the southern laboratory since its establishment. From the experience previously gained, the idea of finding a remedy for the disease in the form of any application to the tree has been given up as impractical, and the chief effort is now being made along the lines of improved cultural practice, thus increasing production of the trees. The greatest possibilities direction seem to lie in soilization, and extensive experiment such lines are being carried out this division. Some of these are in their third season and ought to show results in the crop of 1909. It is already very evident that spite of the disease the production of most of the present orchard could greatly increased by fertilizing soil, if the most economical method in this respect was determined to irrigation, also, as the condition of the trees, considerable benefit is being demonstrated by the determination of the practice in this regard. The ultimate solution of problem appears to be in ing of walnuts immune to desirable types of which are in existence. Much work done at the Whittier lab this direction. This involves growing of grafted rather ling trees and thus opportunity for choice regarding both and the top of the tree. Great importance. Extensions have been made at the factory of nuts of various sources for the production stocks. These represent species of walnuts and also between different species.

Extensive ings have been made at the history of nuts of varius k sources for the production stocks. These represent se cies of walnuts and also l tween different species. has already shown that in California black walnut we more hardy root than tha English walnut, one that i pable of flourishing unde able conditions and one wi wider range of soil. The nut varies, however, in trees almost as much as tl ed species, so that there is careful selection and dis in growing a root stock. fornia walnut is also divide less distinctly into two se cies. It may be classed as ern California and Norther nia types. The tree which in the southern part of tha its favorite habitat upon what elevated hillsides v ional trees in the valleys of these hills. It is distir side rather than a valley ever. The tree itself has quite a shrubby rather than a tree-like form and, even in large specimens grown on good soil without abundant water, the tendency is still towards abundant branching rather than the formation of a tall, clean trunk. The nut of this type is a very small one. According to the latest arrangement by Professor W. L. Jepson, the Southern California walnut is to be regarded as Juglans californica Wats. It grows quite abundantly in the Puente hills southeast of Whittier and in the Santa Monica, Newhall and other mountains of that vicinity, extending north at least to the Ojal valley back of Ventura. This species is also to be found to some extent in the lower parts of the San Bernardino range. The northern California nut aver- means of handling large trees which are extremely susceptible to blight is by top grafting them to the more immune kinds. The methods of doing this have received the consideration of this division, and much work has been done along this line. During 1908 and 1909 a considerable number of large trees were top-grafted, both by the station and by individual growers, with decided success. Experience elsewhere, particularly in the central part of the State, where many large native walnuts have been grafted to the English variety, has shown that with reasonable success a new top equal to the original one can be put on a large tree in four years. In orchard work the most rational practice appears to be the picking out and working over of the trees most susceptible to blight each year. Among these we nation varieties which have rehe names Eureka, Concord, and San Jose, as well as theette and Mayette mentioned.All of these and many other are being grown by this diend their value carefully test-various portions of the state now in a position to supply all the important walnut vaas well as a limited numberery trees of some. very imperative phase or this has been the question as to the present existing plantings, ing of many thousand acres of large, thrifty trees, very satisin every way except for the final loss of a considerable part crop through their susceptibilie disease.

ANOTHER METHOD OF WORKING OVER AN OLD ORCHARD CONSISTS IN INTERSETTING WITH NURSERY TREES OF THE CALIFORNIA BLACK WALNUT. IT IS MORE PRACTICAL TO PLANT THE YOUNG TREES RATHER THAN THE NUTS IN THE ORCHARD. THE OBJECT OF THIS METHOD IS TO GROW THE BLACK WALNUT TREES UP TO THREE OR FOUR YEARS OLD AND THEN GRAFT THEM IN THE TOP OF THE DESIRED VARIety. IF THE GROUND IS CLOSely SHADED BY OLD TREES YOU SHOULD BE THINNED ENOUGH TO GIVE YOUNG BLACK WALNUTS A CHANCE TO GROW. THIS THINNING CAN BE DONE IN MOST OF OUR OLDER ORCHards WITHOUT ANY DISADVantage, AS IN MOST OF THE TREES ARE ALREADY TOO THICK. THE YOUNG GRAFTED TREES WILL COMET INTO Bearing Early, AND IT IS POSSIBLE BY THIS PLAN TO HAVE A NEW ORCHARD WELL STARTED BY THE TIME IT IS NECESSARY TO CUT OUT THE OLD TREES. THE ADVANTAGE OF A TREE HAVING THE BLACK WALNUT TRunk AS WELL AS ROOT IS A VERY CONSIDERABLE ONE, OWING TO THE Susceptibility OF THE ENGLISH WALNUT TRunk TO SUNBURN.

Lemon Rot Investigation The investigation of the form of lemon decay known as "Brown Rot," which was begun in July, 1905, was practically completed during the year 1906-7 and reported on in full in Bulletin No. 190. Successful means of preventing the great losses which had occurred from this trouble were found and a detailed account of the whole subject may be found in the bulletin mentioned.

During the past three months the number of geographies sold was 55,667. At 95 cts. the price of the new book,the amount paid by parents for these books was $52,883.65. Had the old book been still in use the parents would have had to pay 25 cents extra per book, or $13,916.75 more. But under the terms of the present contract this amount is saved in ninety days. At the present rate it is estimated that nearly $100,000 will thus be saved during the life of the contract,which is eight years. It is only by changing the textbooks or threatening to do so, that a reduction in the royalty can be secured and a reduction in the price to the public made. Thus the royalty on the former geography was 28 cents, but by changing the textbook and making the contract for 8 years instead of 4 years, the royalty was reduced to 15 cents, thus saving 13 cents per copy on royalty alone. Improvements in printing and manufacturing processes account for a the people at cost, only a few cents each; yet for extent and accuracy they have never been equalled, except by topographic maps of the Royal Engineers in Great Britain. They should be understood and used by the children in the schools and by their parents besides. The report of California State text-book sales for the fiscal year 1908-1909 shows that the number of text-books sold was 581,101, the total amount of sales being $142,055.34. Of this amount $107,371.15 was paid to the revolving textbook fund, while the royalties amounted to $34,684.19. Of this amount of royalties Ginn & Co. received $8571.85; MacMillan Company, $5158.71; D.C. Heath & Co., $3693.27; American Book Company, $17,260.36. The books now published under the direction of the California State Board of Education and their prices are as follows: Cost Pa Pstg Tt Cost Primer...20 cts 5 cts 25 cts First Reader...24 cts 5 cts 29 cts Second Reader...28 cts 7 cts 35 cts Third Reader...42 cts 8 cts 50 cts Fourth Reader...49 cts 11 cts 60 cts Speller, Book One...19 cts 5 cts 24 cts Speller, Book Two...19 cts 5 cts 24 cts First Arithmetic...28 cts 7 cts 85 cts Grammar School Arith.50 cts 10 cts 60 cts English Lessons, Book 1.28 cts 7 cts 85 cts English Lessons, Book 2.46 cts 9 cts 55 cts Introductory History...45 cts 10 cts 58 cts Introductory Geography.55 cts 9 cts 64 cts Advanced Geography...73 cts 22 cts 95 cpts Physiology...41 cts 8 cpts 49 cpts Writing Books Nos.1,2,3,4 and 5.each 6 cts at Sacramento.Postage 20 extra. The cost price to dealers is the cost price to parents. By buying the books at Sacramento at the cost price, having them shipped by freight or express,and selling at the mailing price, which is the same as the price to pupils, dealers make a small margin of profit. This margin of profit is relatively small when compared to books sold in the general market. The investigation of the form of lemon decay known as "Brown Rot," which was begun in July, 1905, was practically completed during the year 1906-7 and reported on in full in Bulletin No. 190. Successful means of preventing the great losses which had occurred from this trouble were found and a detailed account of the whole subject may be found in the bulletin mentioned. This work has led to further investigations upon lemon decay and other phases of the lemon business at the Whittier laboratory. Sugar-Beet Blight Investigation. The blight or curly top of the sugar-beet has been a subject of investigation in this division for some time, as mentioned in our last report. This work has been in cooperation with the Spreckels Sugar Company and other beet growers of the State, continuing during the period from the spring of 1905 to the fall of 1906. In 1907 the company mentioned took two of our assistants into its own employ and has since then continued the field work through them. Some investigations of a technical nature are being carried on in relation to the nature of this disease at the Whittier laboratory. From the work thus far it appears to be well established that the trouble is largely influenced by meteorological factors varying from one season to another. Peach Blight Investigation Active work on this subject was completed in the winter of 1906-7 and a bulletin on the subject (Bulletin 191) published in September, 1907. Work during the year mentioned consisted mostly in extensive field work and demonstrations, having for their object a general application of the method of treatment found successful in previous years. This work came to a very successful conclusion, as described in the bulletin mentioned. Rose Disease Investigation Owing to the delay in publication of a bulletin on this subject, which was promised in our last report, it has been possible to gather other data to supplement that previously obtained. During the past two seasons a thorough survey has been made of the various varieties of roses growing in most of the important nurseries in the State, as well as on private grounds, in order to determine the relative degree of susceptibility of the various varieties to the usual rose diseases. Further work on the treatment of the rcse mildew has also been carried out by changing the books or threatening to do so, that a reduction in the royalty can be secured and a reduction in the price to the public made. Thus the royalty on the former geography was 28 cents, but by changing the text book and making the contract for 8 years instead of 4 years, the royalty was reduced to 15 cents, thus saving 13 cents per copy on royalty alone. Improvements in printing and manufacturing processes account for a further saving of 12 cents per book, making the total reduction over the previous text of 25 cents per book. And the book sold to the children is a better one, being Tarr & McMurry's geography, one of the most famous and widely used textbooks in the United States. It was chosen after long consultation with the superintendents and teachers of California, by and with the advice and desire of a large majority of all who expressed themselves. Changes in textbooks are not, however, so frequent as most people think Since the adoption of the Constitution in 1880, no textbook has been used less than 4 years, and many have been used much longer. The speller, for instance, was not changed in 20 years. The history remained the same for 15 years. The civil government was not changed for 14 years. The present introductory geography is in for a term of 12 years at least. All the contracts in the last two years have been for 8 year periods. And in every case in recent years, where a book has been changed, a saving has been effected to the people, while the standards of the books have been improved. As an example of this, the royalty of the introductory geography has lately been lowered from 12 1/2 cents to 9 cents. The advanced history was lowered from 30 cents to 15 cts., a reduction of fifty per cent. The first book in arithmetic will shortly be issued at a reduction of twenty-five per cent. Every cent of reduction made in this way means a saving of thousands of dollars to the people. To manufacture the books as economically as possible, they are printed in editions of 50,000 or more at a time. When a new edition is printed, advantage is taken of the opportunity to make such changes or additions as appear advisable. Thus when the new federal census is completed, the new figures will be incorporated in the geogrphy. The second edition of this book adopts physiology. Writing Books Nos. 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5, each 6 cts at Sacramento. Postage 20 extra. The cost price to dealers is the cost price to parents. By buying the books at Sacramento at the cost price, having them shipped by freight or express, and selling at the mailing price, which is the same as the price to pupils, dealers make a small margin of profit. This margin of profit is relatively small when compared to books sold in the general market. If books are ordered by dealers by mail, they make nothing at all in selling the books. The next semi-annual apportionment of state school money to grammar and high schools will be made about January 10, 1910. A remarkable coincidence is shown in the estimates of population of California made by the offices of the State Board of Health and the State Superintendent of Public Instruction respectively. That of the state superintendent, based upon school census reports received in July, is 2...018,553. The estimate made by the office of the state board of health some weeks later, is a little higher being 2,037,929. Mrs. Harriet W. Myers, secretary of the Audubon Society of California has in preparation a book on bird life with a view to teaching protection of birds and animals, to children. On the ground that the history of California should be given precedence in the schoolroom, Superintendent Hyatt has endorsed the "March of Portola," a narrative of the early California history which formed his historical setting for San Francisco's recent celebration, published by The California Promotion Committee. The adoption of the book for supplemental reference or other use in the public schools of the State rests with individual boards of education. The next meeting of the state Board of Education will probably be held during the week of the annual meeting of the California Teacher Association in San Francisco, beginning Dec. 27. Twenty applications for high school credentials are already filed for consideration by the board. The number of applications for accrediting normal schools and educational documents outside states is larger than usual, already numbering twelve. The committee on "Health and Development Certification," consisting of President S. T. Black, San Diego Normal; Superintendent Hyatt GREATEST IRRIGATION PROJECT EL PASO, Tex., Nov. 18.—The United States Senatorial Irrigation committee headed by Senator Carter, is at the Elephant Butte dam site, north of El Paso in New Mexico. This is the greatest irrigation project in the world, even larger than the Assouan dam in Egypt. It will cost eight million dollars and require eight years in construction. The lake to be formed by the dam will be forty miles long and will hold the entire flow of three years of the Rio Grande. The dam is being built between two solid rock banks and will irrigate 225,000 acres of land in New Mexico, Texas and Mexico. The building of the dam fulfills a treaty obligation with Mexico. The country complained for twenty years against the stoppage of the flow of the Rio Grande by denuding the Colorado watershed and the matter was finally settled by treaty by which the United States agreed to impound the waters of the international stream and divide them with Mexico, without cost to the latter country.

To manufacture the books as economically as possible, they are printed in editions of 50,000 or more at a time. When a new edition is printed, advantage is taken of the opportunity to make such changes or additions as appear advisable. Thus when the new federal census is completed, the new figures will be incorporated in the geogrpahy. The second edition of this book (advanced geography) will be out during the first week of December and several changes will be made in small details, but nothing to prevent the two editions being used together in class, and nothing to cause any child to purchase another book. The anti-fraternity law that was passed by the last legislature has attracted wide attention not only in this State but throughout the United States. It prohibits fraternities in high schools and authorizes school trustees to inflict such penalties as may be necessary to enforce the law. Its effect is to uphold the discipline of high schools and to discourage the idea of caste among the young people. This law has been called by many people the most beneficial piece of legislation, excepting only the Race Track law. The superintendent of public instruction has been requested to include in his official blanks a column for superintendents and principals to report under oath whether or not the anti-fraternity law is being enforced throughout the State. The superintendent of public instruction is urging all teachers of the state, both in high schools and grammar schools, to make good use of the topographic maps now being issued by the U.S. Geological Survey. The maps are of wonderful interest and accuracy showing every elevation, every road and trail, every school house in the land. They are furnished to Association in San Francisco, beginning Dec. 27. Twenty applications for high school credentials are already filed for consideration by the board. The number of applications for accrediting normal schools and educational documents of outside states is larger than usual, already numbering twelve. The committee on "Health and Development Certification," consisting of President S. T. Black, San Diego Normal; Superintendent Hyatt, and President Morris E. Dalley, San Jose Normal, will report at this meeting. The certificates of teachers of health and development are granted by county boards of education, on recommendation by the State Board of Education. The committee will report on system of procedure, blanks, etc. VIRTUOUS INDIGNATION Five-year-old Bobble went visiting with his mother, and unexpectedly re-mained overnight, was obliged to wear his cousin Katie's nightgown.
