MANY VARIETIES OF THE ENGLISH WALNUT LOCAL TREES SUBJECT OF REPORT BY COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE NEFF'S PROLIFIC AND PLACENTIA PERFECTION RATED AS BEST IN THE STATE The fact has been frequently alluded to that great variation exists in various individual seedling trees of the English walnut, and that as a result of such variation a fairly large number of distinct varieties has been established, each of these having originated from a particular tree which was selected by some one as being particularly desirable on account of certain qualities. Some of these varieties, according to a recent bulletin issued by the state experiment station, notably certain French varieties close to two hundred years old, have been kept pure since the original tree was first selected, by budding or grafting. Others, especially the majority of the varieties now most common in California, are of comparatively recent origin and represent the grafted or budded offspring of certain seedling trees in the state which have seemed especially desirable and have therefore been propagated from and in some cases widely advertised and sold on quite an extensive scale. The variations which occur in seedling walnuts consist in a marked difference in the vigor and size of the tree, its rapidity of growth, its general COST OF READING Extracts from a speech by Mr. Jas. Mills of Riverside, before a meeting held at Redlands, under the auspices of the Redlands Fruit Growers' Protective League in 1911: Experience—"I know you have men better capable of talking on the cyanide fumigation question than I am; but, as the chairman has said, I have had much experience; I have had to face these problems, because dividends have to be paid; stockholders want dividends and the man who can pay them can hold his job. I am still holding mine." Cleaning Up Profitable—"I got the money, I got the tents and I got to work. At the end of two years I had expended forty thousand dollars in cleaning up, and I cleaned and I used the stuff and I got the scale; and I rejoiced, and may I say it, exceedingly glad. I was able to say, and say truthfully to my general committee to my directors, it has cost forty thousand dollars, but it has not cost you a cent. Apparently you have expended the money, but I know that I have produced two dollars in fruit extra for every dollar of money that I have expended in these operations; I know that; you have the proof of that in your dividend. There was no question about it; there could be no question; it was a demonstration that could not escape anybody; we were satisfied with our expenditure, because we had the fruit that we grew before, and so much more that we had our money and another dollar alongside of it; that was a good ed, by budding or gratting. Others, especially the majority of the varieties now most common in California, are of comparatively recent origin and represent the grafted or budded offspring of certain seedling trees in the state which have seemed especially desirable and have therefore been propagated from and in some cases widely advertised and sold on quite an extensive scale. The variations which occur in seedling walnuts consist in a marked difference in the vigor and size of the tree, its rapidity of growth, its general form or aspect, and that of its foliage, the color and texture of the bark, the time of budding out in the spring, the amount of catkins and pollen produced, its productiveness, season of maturity of the crop, and the size, form, color, flavor, and other characteristics of the nut. Also the susceptibility of the tree to various diseases and injurious influences. Seedling walnuts vary very greatly in these respects, although certain general types of a certain degree of similarity among themselves may be recognized. Thus, in California, almost all the so-called Santa Barbara seedlings come out comparatively early in the spring, they are usually thrifty, large trees under favorable conditions, and the nuts are mostly of the soft-shell type as regards cracking quality. The old fashioned hard shells represent another fairly uniform type, even when grown from seed, having rather small, round, very hard-shelled nuts borne upon trees with a certain similarity to one another. The same is true of the so-called paper shells. Trees of all these types bear nuts of about the same color, a dull, neutral or greyish brown. Taking the Fench varieties we find among most of them the habit of coming out extremely late in the spring, so that a Franquette, Mayette, or Parisienne, and almost all the seedlings derived from nuts of these varieties, leaf out several months later than Chase, Placentia Perfection, or most of the Santa Barbara Soft Shell seedlings, even though planted in the same locality. They also bear nuts almost always of a brighter, more yellowish color than do the California varieties. The meat of the nut is also usually lighter colored. In other words, we find in walnuts certain types differing very widely in various respects from one another, while among the seedlings from one of these types there is a considerable variation, but not so great as that between the different types themselves. The various types, individual trees and varieties now to be found in California have almost all descended, as we have shown from two sources, namely, the Santa Barbara Soft Shell type first cost you a cent. Apparently you have expended the money, but I know that I have produced two dollars in fruit extra for every dollar of money that I have expended in these operations; I know that; you have the proof of that in your dividend. There was no question about it; there could be no question; it was a demonstration that could not escape anybody; we were satisfied with our expenditure, because we had the fruit that we grew before, and so much more that we had our money and another dollar alongside of it; that was a good investment. Any business man will put a dollar in if he can get it back accompanied by another dollar; only some fruit men are not business men." Did it Pay?—"In our groves ten years ago we had some that were black with the black scale, and no fruit on the trees, absolutely unprofitable were the groves; when we cleaned them they took on new life; they seemed like a man that had regained his lost strength and lost vigor, showing renewed life and activity; and this appeared to such an extent that in some instances they bore down to the ground with fruit; and I could not help realizing, as I went up and down through those groves, that they were laughing with joy, as was I, and as were others who were financially affected. That grove ever since has been kept clean, and ever has it produced abundantly of the fruit of the land, the thing that we are after, and the joy that it gives when it comes. "I have stated to you that I spent forty thousand dollars and was able to say that it did not cost them a cent. Do you see the point? That if I had not spent the forty thousand dollars I would not have gained half the crop, and that is the fact. I gained so much more fruit, directly as the result of the clean-up of the trees that I produced that much more money—the forty thousand dollars, and another forty thousand dollars on top of it, and still some more. Now, did it pay? Yes." A Story of 15,000 Trees—"They were cleaned up; and I have on those trees on the second blossom, better than $20,000 worth of fruit, and I would not have had $5,000 if it had not been for the fumigating.

CYANIDES are manufactured b In other words, we find in walnuts certain types differing very widely in various respects from one another, while among the seedlings from one of these types there is a considerable variation, but not so great as that between the different types themselves. The various types, individual trees and varieties now to be found in California have almost all descended, as we have shown from two sources, namely, the Santa Barbara Soft Shell type, first produced and propagated by Joseph Sexton of Goleta, which came probably from Chile, and second, various French varieties and their derivatives, almost all of which were first introduced or developed by Felix Gillet. It is doubtless true that more than 99 per cent of the walnut trees now growing in this state are descendants of one or the other of these sources. The only noticeable exception to this is the Eureka, which originated as a chance seedling from a tree introduced through another source. It is undoubtedly true that with the exception of the Eureka all the varieties which are worthy of discussion for California planting are either Santa Barbara Soft Shell seedlings, old French varieties, or seedlings of some of these later varieties which originated in California. In discussing the various varieties now before the public we should first of all formulate an idea or standard as to what constitutes an ideal walnut. In regard to this, the first and most important quality is undoubtedly that of production. A variety however fancy or otherwise desirable which does not produce comparatively large crops of nuts can not be considered satisfactory, whatever may be its other qualities. As to the ideal or greatest possible production, we may say that while the crop of the present producing seedling groves of Southern California averages only about 50 pounds per tree, or 1,000 pounds per acre, there are numerous individual seedling trees in the state which average close to 300 pounds, and a very large number which produce regularly more than 200 pounds. Since thrifty walnut trees, after reaching an age of 12 to 15 years, should have a distance of at least 50 to 60 feet apart, which means an average of not over 15 trees per acre, we may estimate that at 200 pounds per tree the crop per acre would equal 3,000 pounds of nuts, which at an average price of 12 cents would amount to $360 gross per acre. This figure, as compared with present returns from the citrus industry, is fairly modest, yet if it could be maintained as a regular income it would represent a very satisfactory return on much of the land in this state which is adaptable to walnut culture. On the highest priced citrus lands of the south, walnuts even on this basis could hardly compete with lemons and oranges. Three-hundred-pound trees would add 50 per cent to the figure estimated and such production should be ultimately attained in an ideal tree having plenty of room at least by the time it reaches years of age. As we have however, these results are those actually being obtained in the walnut industry point we may also consider merits of a fancy varying nuts which may sell little cents per pound, but produce 100 pounds on matter against a 12 or 15 cent produces 200 or 300 pounds parative desirability of sale for planting, so far as the ist, can be judged fairly description of the various relation between quality amount of the product carefully considered in our riety for planting and should not be too much the appearance of a few without ergard to the quantity they are produced. The course, is one which will large crops of the most nuts, but this combination been fully attained. Another point in regard to produce the precocity or age of bearing, in which great ist in different varieties ANAHEIM GAZETTE OST OF HYDROCYANIC ACID GAS FUMIGATION TO THE CITRUS FRUIT GROWER DOES IT PAY? Read what is said on the subject by a few successful Citrus fruit growers Speech by Mr. Jas. before a meeting under the auspices of Growers' Protective Society. Now you have men working on the cyanide than I am, but, as I have had much need to face these dividends have to be want dividends and them can hold his long mine." It is valuable—"I got the fruits and I got to work. Years I had expended years in cleaning up, used the stuff and I rejoiced, and may I read." I was able to really to my general directors, it has cost me years, but it has not apparently you have two dollars in fruit year of money that we these operations; gave the proof of that there was no question did be no question; notion that could not were satisfied with because we had the before, and so much money and another: that was a good deal. used to tell us years ago that fumigation was fertilization; and our friend Van Leuven, he believes that too; he fumigates persistently, whether he has scale or not, because he believes that the tree is strengthened by it. Now, I believe with my friend Pease that it was fertilization in this way: it prevented the little bug from getting the fertilizer that was put on, and the tree got it, and it produced fruit with it, but if the bug gets it it produces nothing but disease and destruction. And I say to you now that I never had a more complete demonstration of the effectiveness of fumigation than the treating of those young trees before they were two years old, spending $1,100 on them, because I have the fruit on the tree that will pay me back the $1,100 and $17,000 or $18,000 more." Lesson Learned—"We have learned on our three thousand acres that it is the most profitable thing we do, more profitable than irrigating, than cultivating, than pruning, than fertilizing, for the reason that it is the cap of the whole arch. After all the rest is done, and the fruit is set on the tree, the scale saps the life of the tree and the fruit will fall; it has taken the rich sap of the tree that would otherwise have gone to the setting of the fruit and the holding of it on the tree and the tree is not able to produce it. Who of you has ever seen a tree black with black scale or covered with red scale producing a profitable crop? Who? Is there one? Not one; not one on the broad earth that has ever seen it. But with scale. It is, of course, expensive, for the material is costly and the labor required is out of the ordinary and consequently high; but my experience, as well as observation, is that fruit growers whose orchards are subject to scale, who are unwilling to incur the necessary expense, will be wise to go out of the business. I have, among other orchards, a good Valencia orchard of a fine quality of fruit. My failure to fumigate it three years ago caused me practically the loss of the crop of that orchard for two years; the income from which either year would have paid the cost of fumigation many times over. I did not fumigate it that year because those who examined it for the purpose, including myself, thought that it would go through that season without any substantial harm, without fumigation; but the scale multiplied so rapidly and so unexpectedly as to bring about the result above indicated. Last fall that orchard was thoroughly fumigated and the result is that I now have on it a fine crop of fine fruit. And I may say that I have had a similar experience with my other orchards." W. H. Jameson, Corona, Cal., says: "In reply to your favor of the 18th we have to say that we are strong believers in fumigation with Cyanide, as we consider it the most practical way to control the scale pest that has as yet been discovered. "Whenever scale begins to make its appearance in orange or lemon trees here the grade of the fruit is lowered and houses are now throwing them cull pile. Even if salable, it would pay to grow scaly fruit for the tax not bear enough to pay." Mr. O. B. Griffin, assistant ranchoranger at Leffingwell ranch, Whittier, Cal. "The fumigation of citrus trees profitable investment for the citrus grower, and properly done will large returns." Mr. Hemphill, manager for Chapman, Fullerton, Cal., says: "Correct fumigation spells clear more and better fruit, highest price market, and larger returns grower." Mr. W. C. Hendricks, manager Citrus Association, Azusa, Cal., says: "The cost of fumigating citrus should not be considered as a part expense account in the handling citrus grove, but rather as an invoice that brings speedy and large return the money paid out." Mr. Pease, Horticultural Commander of San Bernardino Co., says: "In regard to the benefit to be from fumigation, I will relate experience that I had. We have been short of tents, and it was our to inspect the orchards, and if there any red scale found, we would notice on the owner to clean up, would pay no attention to the scale; we did not have tents end do the work.

Now, 1000 Trees—"They did I have on those and blossom, better of fruit, and I would do if it had not been My friend Pease here Condemned Fruit—"You doubtless saw in the papers recently that a carload of fruit was condemned and thrown out and burned because it was infected. Most of the states are passing laws covering that matter, and unless this matter is remedied the time will come when you can't sell your fruit; you can't sell dirty fruit by putting it in with clean fruit; let us give the best that is in us to our business, and that will produce and give to the world the best, and the world will give back to us its best every time." Mr. McGill, manager McNally Ranch, La Mirada, says: "Correct and proper fumigation is the keystone in the structure of the citrus fruit industry. Without it there could be no profitable growing of citrus fruit." Judge Erskine M. Ross, Los Angeles, Cal., says: "I have your letter of this date asking for a brief statement of my experience in respect to the advisability of fumigating citrus trees. As I have been a grower of such fruit for many years, I ought to know something not only of the advisability, but the absolute necessity of fumigation in localities where one's trees are subject to scale. I know from experience that a good crop of merchantable fruit cannot be produced on the same trees that produce a good crop of scale of any kind, and particularly black scale, with which I am most familiar. Proper pruning, cultivation, irrigation and fertilization are, of course, very important, but most important of all in my opinion is fumigation where one has to contend on it a fine crop of fine fruit. And I may say that I have had a similar experience with my other orchards." W. H. Jameson, Corona, Cal., says: "In reply to your favor of the 18th we have to say that we are strong believers in fumigation with Cyanide, as we consider it the most practical way to control the scale pest that has as yet been discovered. "Whenever scale begins to make its appearance in orange or lemon trees here the grade of the fruit is lowered and if the scale is not cleaned up the trees begin to show the effects and the yield will surely be materially affected. "In case of red scale, if allowed to go too long, it sometimes takes two years or more for the trees to get back into the condition that they should be when kept free from the scale." C. C. Teague, manager Limoneira Company, Santa Paula, Cal., says: "I acknowledge receipt of your letter of the 17th, in which you ask for our experience in regard to fumigation, and in which you state that you find some growers opposed to fumigation because of expense. I am very much surprised to learn that any grower in these enlightened times could believe that it would pay to have a grove infested with Insect pests. We figure on fighting insect pests as a regular part of our expense, just as much as we do our irrigation, cultivation and fertilization. It is conceded by nearly all growers that fumigation is the most effective method of treating red, purple and black scale; and certainly it is an idea of mistaken economy for any growers to not fumigate, and have a scale-infested grove." A. F. Call, Corona, Cal., says: "Replying to your inquiry, I did not suppose any California Citrus Grower in this day and age would doubt the absolute necessity of fumigation for scale. Any man who has scale and cannot fumigate should sell out as soon as possible, for there is no place for him in the business. "Many states are passing laws against the sale of scaly fruits. Most markets will either heavily discount such fruits or refuse them altogether. Most packing" In regard to the benefit to be from fumigation, I will relate experience that I had.

least by the time it reaches 15 or 20 years of age. As we have said above, however, these results are far above those actually being obtained at present in the walnut industry. At this point we may also consider the relative merits of a fancy variety, producing nuts which may sell for at least 25 cents per pound, but producing only 50 to 100 pounds on mature trees, as against a 12 or 15 cent variety which produces 200 or 300 pounds. The comparative desirability of such varieties for planting, so far as they actually exist, can be judged fairly well from our description of the various kinds. The relation between quality of nut and the amount of the product should be very carefully considered in choosing a variety for planting and the grower should not be too much influenced by the appearance of a few sample nuts without ergard to the quantity in which they are produced. The ideal tree, of course, is one which would produce large crops of the most desirable type of nuts, but this combination has not been fully attained. Another important point in regard to production is that of the precocity or age of coming into bearing, in which great differences exist in different varieties and between individual seedling trees. Some varieties begin to produce nuts quite abundantly, even in the nursery, and give a commercial crop within three years from planting in the orchard, while others are several years later in coming into bearing. Here, again, this quality must be carefully weighed in choosing a variety, considering its relative value in proportion to other qualities. There is in this connection the possibility of inter-planting, either with more precocious walnuts or some other crop, which may offset the disadvantage of an otherwise desirable variety which is slow in coming into bearing. The next important consideration is that of the size and weight of the nuts. In almost all varieties and seedling trees the nuts are of good size when the trees are young and first come into bearing, but in many there is a tendency for the nuts to become smaller and smaller as the trees get older and the crops heavier. The size of commercially first grade California walnuts, as we have shown, is represented by nuts which will not pass through a one-inch square opening, while those above 13-16 inches command a considerable premium. Nuts of a size considerably greater than this are in demand at still higher prices to some extent, but ordinarily the market for such large nuts is quite limited, owing to the fact that most varieties of this sort are poorly filled with meat. Whether an extra large, well filled nut and one of good flavor, if such exists or could be produced, would be desirable for general planting, is somewhat problematical, although certainly such a nut would command a ready sale and at a good price to a considerable extent. However this may be, it is true that on the basis of present standards the most desirable size is that which is not graded out by a square-mesh screen of 13-16 inches, but not so very much larger than this. The weight of the nut is equally important, since this varies widely in nuts of the same size. It may be seen here that some of the largest varieties are considerably lighter in weight than others in which the nuts are decidedly smaller. A desirable nut should be well filled with plump meat without too much air space between the shell and the meat. A comparatively heavy shell is more desirable than a very thing, light one, since the nut is better protected, less susceptible to performance and similar troubles, and it is also to be considered that single pound, the er is the turns from smoothness the nuts times of nuts are and put dividual nut or for highest very desi most attered to nut, rather than be quite ridges, of surface rather shaped, the same ance, given dividual nuts are variety ACTION INVESTORS There are now throwing them in the market. Even if salable, it would not grow scaly fruit for the trees will be scar enough to pay." O. B. Griffin, assistant manager at Carwell ranch, Whittier, Cal., says: The fumigation of citrus trees is a valuable investment for the citrus fruit industry, and properly done will bring returns." Hemphill, manager for C. C. Herman, Fullerton, Cal., says: Correct fumigation spells clean trees and better fruit, highest prices in the market, and larger returns for the farmer." W. C. Hendricks, manager, Azusa Association, Azusa, Cal., says: The cost of fumigating citrus trees will not be considered as a part of the disease account in the handling of a grove, but rather as an investment in springs speedy and large returns on money paid out." Pease, Horticultural Commissioner at Bernardino Co., says: Regard to the benefit to be derived from fumigation, I will relate a little evidence that I had. We have always short of tents, and it was our custom to inspect the orchards, and if there was a need scale found, we would serve on the owner to clean up, and we pay no attention to the black spots we did not have tents enough to work. On one side of this particular task which I refer there were organized, even by the ordinary purchaser, has a marked advantage over one in which the nuts are of all sorts of shapes so that only an expert can distinguish the variety from others. The color of the nut is also of considerable importance, although walnuts are almost always bleached before putting them on the market and in this way they are all brought to about the same color. A variety, however, which is of a light, attractive color, is entitled to considerable merit over one which is dull, dark or unattractive. A tree selected from his orchard for propagation by J. B. Neff, of Anaheim, is presumably a Santa Barbara Soft Shell seedling. Mr. Neff selected this tree on account of the fact that it was averaging about 200 pounds of nuts annually, which production far exceeded that of any other tree in its vicinity. Mr. Neff therefore cut back many of his poorest producing trees and grafted them over with scions from this heavy bearing tree. The original tree is decidedly free from blight, although not totally immune to the disease. The nut is of good size, well sealed, exceptionally heavy and well filled with light-colored meat. The flavor of the nut is good. In form the nuts are rather rough and irregularly shaped, this being the greatest defect of an otherwise very promising variety. The shell is heavy, giving the nuts good weight in the sack. The variety has not been propagated to any extent, save in top-working old trees, so nothing can be said as to its behavior as a young tree. For a heavy bearing, heavy weighing variety for the ordinary commercial trade, the variety has consiredable promise. For a fancy, attractive nut, it is not so good, on account of its rough, irregular shape. Samples of all varieties were submitted to the head buyer for one of the largest fancy grocery firms in California for his opinion as to their relative merits. At Phoenix, Ariz., a contract has been let for a new grade school to cost $150,000.
