In California it has been found in all the walnut sections and even on a few isolated trees in the Sierra Madre mountains, many miles from any commercial orchard. During certain years, such as the season of 1914, the walnut trees may develop and mature their crop of good sized, clean nuts with no apparent injury resulting from the walnut aphis. Due to their relatively small number and their habit of feeding only on the underside of the foliage, the aphides are not observed in some seasons by many of the walnut growers. In other years, however, such as the season of 1913 and the two preceding seasons, when climatic conditions are especially favorable for their development the aphis may become so numerous in a comparatively short time as to become an important factor in the quality of the nut crop harvested. The honeydew given off by these insects falls on to the upper surfaces of fruit and foliage below and becomes an adult, prick and having the back, tinct genera including the drop in the young aphid oviparous and also the egg laying and after it to the twig eggs are oval in crotches the bark.

Anaheim The honeydew given off by these insects falls on to the upper surfaces of fruit and foliage below and becomes a medium for the growth of the sooty mold fungus, so that in years of severe infestation both nuts and leaves become coated with a black, sticky material. The size of the nuts may be considerably reduced and a large percentage of the crop consists of small siged, low priced nuts. The fact that perforations, a term applied to nuts with a defectively formed shell, are also numerous during the years when the aphis infestation is severe has also been noticed by many growers. Whether or not the loss of plant juices and consequent drain upon the tree by the aphis is the actual cause of perforation has not, however, been proven. The following studies were carried out in the Whittler section of Southern California, by A. R. Tyler of the college of agriculture at Berkeley. During the spring, about the time the walnut trees are coming into leaf the aphis eggs, which were deposited on the bark of branches or twigs during the preceding fall, hatch into young aphides or stem mothers. In the San Jose section, Mr. Davidson of the agricultural college, reports finding these stem mothers emerging from the egg on the early varieties of walnuts as early as February 15. During the spring of 1914, the first aphids seen in the Whittler and contiguous sections were found at La Habra in the first week of April, when the early varieties and seedling walnut trees were fairly well in leaf. The stem mothers produce viviparously the winged females, which in turn produce living young. It is this form of the aphis which increases in numbers during the spring, and by July, or late summer, may heavily infest the under side of the walnut foliage. In one severely infested orchard near the coast 200 aphids were counted on a single medium sized leaflet on July 16, 1914, a year in which the infestation did not become severe except in a few instances. During the process of development by the nymphs moult four times. In July and September, at least, the first moult occurs usually in from four to six days after birth; the second in six-or-eight; the third is eight to ten, or, in rare cases, in twelve days; the fourth and last moult occurs in from eleven to fourteen days from birth.

Peaches may do well on a wide range of soil types including even some of the moderately heavy clay loams and clays. But whatever the type, a soil must be thoroughly well drained to be suitable for peaches. They will not succeed on poorly drained soils. It follows that the heavy clay types which are so hard and impervious that water does not percolate through them readily are to be avoided as a rule. Moreover, a soil should be moderately fertile. One very rich in nitrogen is not to be desired as a general rule, since it is likely to induce an excessive growth of foliage. On the other hand, the impression which is somewhat common that a poor, unfertile soil is good enough for peaches is erroneous. Expert Piano Tuning by F. W. Schmidt, 222 East Center street. Sunset 202; Home 64. During the process of development by the nymphs moult four times. In July and September, at least, the first moult occurs usually in from four to six days after birth; the second in six-or eight; the third is eight to ten, or, in rare cases, in twelve days; the fourth and last moult occurs in from eleven to fourteen days from birth. From the fourth or last moult the nymph emerges as a winged adult female. The number of days passed from birth to maturity during July, 1914, in the Whittler section varied from eleven to fourteen days, the greatest number of individuals maturing in twelve days. The length of time required to reach maturity may vary in different sections, probably depending upon the climatic conditions. Davidson found during the month of July, 1911, at San Jose, that this time varied from fourteen to nineteen days, the majority maturing in sixteen days. During July, 1914, many aphides were placed in leaf cages and the number of offspring from each adult noted. The average number of young produced per adult female was 41, the largest number of young produced by any one adult being 59. During September and October similar records were obtained and at this time the average number of offspring from one adult was 37, and in one case an adult produced 46 young. The adults lived from thirty to thirty-five days and produced young almost up to the time of their death. The number of generations per year of the walnut aphis has not been definitely determined for Southern California. In the San Jose section there are ten and possibly eleven. Aphides may be found on the foliage until the latter drops in the winter. The number of possible progeny resulting from a single stem mother during the season, therefore (estimating 35 young per female and ten generations) would be about 78,000,000,000. During the late summer and fall the oviparous form or egg-laying stage of the walnut aphis appears. The female of this form differs in apppear- Anaheim Gazette Bean Cutters Chatham Fanning Mills Farm Implements and Harness LEON A. PORTER 112 E. Center Street ance from the winged viviparous adults, principally in being wingless and having two lateral black bands on the back. They do not form a distinct generation, but from July to and including the fall and until the leaves drop in the winter a portion of the young aphids may develop into the oviparous form, the wingless female and also the winged male. This is the egg laying stage of the walnut aphis, and after fertilization the female goes to the twigs or branches, where the eggs are deposited in old leaf acars, in crotches, or on the bare surface of the bark. In the egg stage the aphis winters over in the old twigs, branches or trunk, and in the spring, with the leafing out of the trees the eggs hatch, producing the stem mothers, and the cycle is completed. During February and March of 1913 and again in 1914, Professor R. E. Smith and his associates carried on spraying experiments in Ventura and Santa Barbara counties for the control of the walnut blight and incidentally for the winter control of the walnut aphis. Power outfits and the up and very crowded. In years that promise to be seasons of severe infestation, the spraying should not be delayed until the injury to fruit and foliage has been done but should be done in the early summer, so as to prevent the heavy infestation and resultant injury. During certain years of heavy infestation the English walnut aphis may reduce considerably the size of the nuts and depreciate the quality. Perforated nuts may also be due to aphis injury. The drain upon the tree is heavy. Aphis infestation may also increase the dissemination of the walnut blight. At the time of leafing out of the walnut trees in spring the walnut aphis' eggs hatch, producing the stem mothers. The winged viviparous stage may be found on the walnut leaves during the late spring summer, and until the foliage falls in the winter. During the summer in the Whittier sections, each viviparous female produces on an average of 41 nymphs. One female produced 59 numphs. The nymph, in Southern California, re-emerges daily. FOREST FIRES ARE NOW IN PROSPECT HALF OF THESE DESTRUCTIVE CONFLAGRATIONS MAY BE PREVENTED INTERESTING NOTES FROM FOREST SERVICE BRING INFORMATION TO READERS (Correspondence to the Gazette) With the opening of the season fire danger on most of the national forests, the forest service is sending broadcast a warning that more than half of the forest fires in the United States are due to carelessness or preventable causes, starting from campers, railroad locomotives, bushes burning, incendiaries and sawmills. This statement is based on an analysis of statistics compiled from the latest fire records of the last seven when more than 7,000 fires were reported on national forests alone approximately 10,000 on state and state holdings in the eighteen states which received federal cooperation fire protection under the Weeks' namely: Maine, New Hampshire, Mont., Massachusetts, Connecticut, York, New Jersey, Maryland, West Virginia, Kentucky, Michigan, Wisconsin Minnesota, South Dakota, Mont Idaho, Washington and Oregon. Forest fires destroy millions of lars' worth of timber and other property every year, and in some cases considerable loss of life. It has been estimated from the best information obtainable that forest fires a year burned over an area of approximately 6,000,000 acres, with a total of at least $9,500,000. Since the inauguration of its waste exchange, on April 15 last, forest service has been requested list, 147 mills and factories as tractors by these paper surfaces and becomes During February and March of 1913 and again in 1914, Professor R. E. Smith and his associates carried on spraying experiments in Ventura and Santa Barbara counties for the control of the walnut blight and incidentally for the winter control of the walnut aphis. Power outfits and the M. A. C. Nozzles were used. By maintaining at least 200 pounds pressure they were able to spray thoroughly the highest trees from the ground with these nozzels. The following spray was found very effective in destroying the aphis eggs on trunk, limb, and branch when these were thoroughly covered with the solution: Commercial lime sulfur, 5 gallons. Quicklime, 25 pounds. Water, 95 gallons. Twenty-five gallons of spray were applied to average sized trees ten years of age. This cost 45 cents per tree. For very large trees 40 gallons per tree were applied, costing 72 cents per tree. This includes total expense of materials and application. There are two chief objections to winter spraying for the control of walnut aphis. (1) During many seasons the aphis does not become so numerous as to cause any economic or appreciable injury to fruit or trees. It is only in certain years that this insect becomes so serious a pest as to require control measures. In order to check the injury from the aphis during these epidemic years with the winter spraying, however, it is necessary to spray every year, since the seasons of severe infestation cannot be forecasted. (2) The walnut aphis spreads rapidly by migration, so that for best results to continue throughout the season from the winter spraying large blocks or entire sections must be sprayed during the dormant period. For these reasons it was deemed advisable to determine the effect of summer spraying. During the season of 1914 the aphids did not become so numerous in most sections of Southern California as to cause any serious injury, so that the actual cash benefit to the grower resulting from such spraying could not be estimated. It has been possible, however, to determine the practicability of such spraying, the comparative killing efficiency, the cost of the several sprays tried, and the possible injury to foliage resulting from the use of these sprays. The machine used for this work was a gasoline power outfit containing a 200-gal. tank and a pressure of 200 lbs. was maintained. Two 50 foot lines of half inch hose and the M. A. C. spraying nozzles were used. The ordinary nozzle of the cyclone type was also tried, but for this work proved unsatisfactory. Before leaving home, for example, the prospective student will know that on the afternoon of November 2 he can practice under the direction of Prof. G. H. True the judging of dairy balls; that on the afternoon of October 21, Dr. F. M. Hayes will show heavy Aphis infestation may also increase the dissemination of the walnut blight. At the time of leafing out of the walnut trees in spring the walnut aphis' eggs hatch, producing the stem mothers. The winged viviparous stage may be found on the walnut leaves during the late spring summer, and until the foliage falls in the winter. During the summer in the Whittler sections each viviparous female produces on an average of 41 nymphs. One female produced 59 numphs. The nymph, in Southern California, requires twelve days from birth to maturity and there are about ten generations a year. The most effective spray for the winter control of the walnut aphis is that recommended by the department consisting of commercial lime-sulfur, 5 gallons; unslacked lime, 25 pounds; water 95 gallons, which costs about $2.25 per 200 gallons of spray. Spraying should be done before growth starts in the spring. An average of 25 gallons of spray is required for trees ten years old and 40 gallons for larger trees. The average cost of spraying tree up to 10 years is 35 cents and for larger trees is 75 cents. The chief drawbacks of winter spraying are (1) the necessity of spraying every winter; (2) the rapid migrations of aphis from surrounding unsprayed trees. The most efficient spray for control of walnut aphis during the summer contains black leaf 40, 1 pint; whale oil soap, 4 pounds; water 200 gallons and costs $1.80 per 200 gallons of spray, when the materials are purchased in small amounts. About 30 to 35 gallons of spray are required to thoroughly cover 10-year old walnut treesn. The M. A. C. nozzle sorethe most suitable ones for spraying walnut trees. MAKING FARMS MORE PROFITABLE Annual Instruction in Short Courses At State Farm at Davis To help California farmers find out how to make their orchards and ranches more profitable and how to make the most of farm and community life is the object of the annual Farmers' Short Courses as announced by the University of California for the farm at Davis from October 4 to November 12, 1915. The university has set upon the novel plan of announcing exactly what will happen at every hour of every day throughout those six weeks, so the farmers who go to Davis for practical work may attend exactly those lectures and demonstrations which hit their own particular needs. Before leaving home, for example, the prospective student will know that on the afternoon of November 2 he can practice under the direction of Prof. G. H.

Forest fires destroy millions of lars' worth of timber and other property every year, and in some years cause considerable loss of life. It has been estimated from the best information obtainable that forest fires one year burned over an area of approximately 6,000,000 acres, with a total of at least $9,500,000. Since the inauguration of its waste exchange, on April 15 last, forest service has been requested list 147 mills and factories as tractors waste material for sale, while during the same time 76 other wood using cerns have asked to be listed as doing to purchase waste of a wide range of species in specified dimensions as mill or factory run. The latter has been included in the list of opportunities to sell waste which is sent more than concerns which have waste matter for sale. This list is growing steadily but the forest service is anxious accelerate its rate of growth, much as it comprises only about as many buyers as there are seen listed under opportunities to waste. The service has just been not by a large novelty manufacturing company in New York city that the waste exchange has enabled it to train its raw material at a considerable saving of money. This facility uses small, semi-finished blocks of wood, which it makes into paver spoil holders. The factory's requirements were published under open tunities to sell waste and a manner of shuttle blocks promptly serve the opportunity to dispose of pieces of dogwood which provide were discarded as waste in his history. Similarly, other buyers are now through the wood waste exchange obtaining material of good quality cost lower than they had been paid for raw material in the form of log standard lumber, and without themselves having to accumulate waste cutting raw material into requisites. On the other hand, many new and factories which were burn their waste or disposing of it at a fair profit. The service desires the cooperation of all manufacturers of small wood commodities and invites them to their requirements with the waste exchange. There is no charge for this service. The U.S. Forest service is acting for sale 98,000,000 feet of timber consisting of Douglas fir, western cedar, western hemlock, amabilis and Sitka spruce—all on the Saskatchewan tundra, western Washington tundra. The tract, which is more particle described as in T 28 and 29 N., W., W.

Two 50 foot lines of half inch hose and the M.A.C. spraying nozzles were used. The ordinary nozzle of the cyclone type was also tried, but for this work proved unsatisfactory. With the M.A.C. nozzles the foliage of the largest trees may be effectively covered. In both the El Monte and Anaheim groves, where experiments were conducted, the trees are ten years old and average 25 to 30 feet in height. In each experiment an average of six trees were thoroughly sprayed with 200 gallons of solution, or an average of 33-13 gallons of spray used per tree. When both the M.A.C. nozzles were working properly and a pressure of upwards of 200 pounds maintained the 200 gallon tank was emptied in from 20 to 30 minutes. With the refilling hose, practically ten minutes were consumed in refilling the tank. The time required to drive from the source of water to the place of work was not considered and may vary in every grove. In the spraying of large orchards, a supply wagon and extra man to mix and haul the spray from the source of water to the spray machine in the field should be part of the equipment. One tank of 200 gallons of each spray was used and from five to seven trees covered in each experiment. Two rows, one on the east and the other on the west side of the sprayed rows, were left unsprayed and used as checks. There were fewer aphids on the east than on the west side. The results from each experiment, as well as in the two check rows, were obtained by counting the number of live aphides on thirty to sixty terminal leaflets (five to ten leaflets per tree). Trees that have been pruned and thinned out can be more thoroughly and effectively sprayed than those that have never been pruned. In the former case the leaflets are larger and fully expanded, while the leaflets on unpruned trees are small, partly doubled The university has set upon the novel plan of announcing exactly what will happen at every hour of every day throughout those six weeks, so the farmers, who go to Davis for practical work may attend exactly those lectures and demonstrations which hit their own particular needs. Before leaving home, for example, the prospective student will know that on the afternoon of November 2 he can practice under the direction of Prof. G.H. True the judging of dairy balls; that on the afternoon of October 21, Dr.F.M. Hayes will show him how to vaccinate swine to prevent dog cholera; that on the afternoon of October 18, Prof.A.V. Stubenrauch will discuss how neighbors may cooperate for fruit marketing; and that on the morning of October 14 Prof.R.L. Adams will tell how to economize and eliminate waste on a poultry farm. There are to be courses in general agriculture, dairy manufactures, poultry husbandry, and in horticulture, including deciduous fruits, citrus and tropical fruits, viticulture and olives. The full 779 acres of the farm will be the classroom for these visiting farmers and their wives. The methods of both dry-farming and irrigation will be displayed. Among the laboratory apparatus are a commercial creamery, stock pavilion, machine shops, four silos, 200 head cattle, sheep, goats and hogs; 500 varieties of grapes planted in 30 acres of vineyard, 15 acres of almond, peach, prune and apricot orchards and 60 acres devoted to experiments with field and forage crops. All the courses are for six weeks. Applicants for admission must be at least 18 years of age. Women are welcome as well as men. ART SMITH—THE HUMAN COMET Mr. Smith is the official heavier than air artist of the Panama exposition. This youth is by long odds the most sensational flyer aviation has thus far produced. Practically unknown a fortnight ago, he is now the most talked-of aviator in the land. He is at present the sensational feature of California's big show, where the visitors, open mouthed and pop-eyed, with him in his flights, and his return earth is invariably accepted as the normal for one great collective sigh or lief. Again and again one overrides the remark, "I wouldn't do that for million dollars."—Which shows little some people care for money. Smith makes both day and night flights, his flight across the night is marked with a trail of fire, reducing the effect of a comet. Although Art says it's easy, as yet no professional limitators have tried to stop the act. This daring aviator's flight made in a biplane driven by an internal combustion engine lubricated with Zerolene, the Standard Oil motor cars. His selection of Zerolene was made after he had done testing of it and other lubricating oils. He states that he uses Zerolene cause he has always found it perfect lubrication.

The cotton was grown from long staple Columbia seed sent out by the department a year ago to a farmer in South Carolina. The farm manager was interested in this seed, planted it by itself, and when the cotton began to ripen picked 3 pounds of it himself. He then picked the seed from the cotton by hand, obtaining 1 pound of lint cotton. This he delivered to a lady in the vicinity, who carded it by hand, spun it into thread by hand, and knitted from it a pair of socks and gloves. Such instances as this are encouraging evidence of the interest that progressive farmers are taking in experimental seeds obtained and distributed by the department.
