EXPERT WRITES ON AVOCADO GROWING YORBA LINDA MAN GIVES SOME VALUABLE POINTS ABOUT THE NEW INDUSTRY IS EXPERIMENTING WITH THIRTY VARIETIES ON A FIVE ACRE PIECE OF GROUND J. T. Wheadon, of Yorba Linda, who is making a study of the avocado and experimenting with the new fruit on a large scale, read the following paper at the recent meeting of the California Avocado association: I planted my first avocado trees at South Santa Anita, in the spring of 1912. The cold winter of 1912-13 convinced me that I would have to find a warmer climate to make a success of the avocado business, which I had decided to engage in. On April 1, 1913, I sold out and relocated at Yorba Linda, Orange county, in May, 1913. I planted 77 trees that summer and finished planting five acres in March, 1914. The trees planted in March, 1914, did much better than those put out in mid summer, 1913. Yorba Linda is located on rolling ground and about 20 miles in an air line from the ocean. My place is at an elevation of 500 feet, the trees are planted 24 feet apart on the equilateral system, irrigating better on account of the lay of the land. and of the two trees I have each has one fruit that will now weight close to one pound. Most of the Tafts blossomed, and quite a number set fruit. One tree had over 60 fruits from the size of a pea to a cherry, but they all dropped off except four, two on one tree and one each on two other trees. Of the hardshell varieties, the Rey, Linda, Queen and Knight are all making good growth for time set out. The Knight is an extra good grower, and its new foliage is a beautiful bronze, different from any of the other varieties. The Linda has the drooping habit, the same as the Grande and practically all other trees bearing large fruit. IMPROVED CONDITIONS IN CALIFORNIA NATIONAL FORESTS In spite of the fact that there have been from two to three times the number of hunters in the California national forest during the present open season than ever before, there has not been one accident and no dead does have been found in the forest. This is due largely to the no spike law. In the good old days when the inadequate game laws then in existence were a dead letter in the mountains, it was a Yorba Linda is located on rolling ground and about 20 miles in an air line from the ocean. My place is at an elevation of 500 feet, the trees are planted 24 feet apart on the equilateral system, irrigating better on account of the lay of the land. I lost six Harmans, two Tafts, from sunburn and one Harman from wind when first put out in 1913, because they were not properly protected from the sun and wind. All trees set out in 1914 and since are staked, shaded from the noonday sun, and the trunk protected with paper mattress, such as newspapers are printed on, for the first year; second year, trunk protected with whitewash, Wickson formula. After the second year, if trees are not headed out too high, they will protect themselves from sunburn. I am now letting all of my trees branch out low, as it protects them against the wind, of which we have considerable, and sunburn, gives a larger and stronger trunk, and holds the moisture much better than when kept trimmed up. I think 24 to 30 inches is as high as any avocado tree should be headed out, and this heading out should be done in the nursery on all strong growing trees. Some of the Harmans first planted were headed out at 48 inches, which is entirely too high. Of course, trees only 18 to 24 inches high when planted will have to be taken care of in the orchard. It is a serious mistake in my judgment to plant out any number of avocado trees, expecting to water them through the weir once per month. On heavy soil, well cultivated after each watering, one can raise the strong growing kind, but when they come into bearing if not watered every week or ten days during warm or hot spells in the summer, they will drop their fruit. Of the thin skinned varieties, the Harman has proved the most vigorous grower and symmetrical tree, but practically all of its fruit matured to date has had the skin cracked open in several places. It has quite a large seed for the amount of edible matter. Will bud them all over just as quickly as a first class winter bearing fruit shows up. The Queretaro is a strong, upright FORNIA NATIONAL FORESTS In spite of the fact that there have been from two to three times the number of hunters in the California national forest during the present open season than ever before, there has not been one accident and no dead does have been found in the forest. This is due largely to the no spike law. In the good old days when the inadequate game laws then in existence were a dead letter in the mountains, it was a common practice for hunters to blaze away at every movement or noise in the brush and fatal accidents were of frequent occurrence. Later as the game wardens became more numerous and active, doe killing became so unpopular that a hunter who brought one to camp was "kidded" unmercifully by his companions, so that the majority of the hunters gave up the practice. There were still many, however, who, in their desire to get meat, would persuade themselves that they saw spikes on anything that moved in the woods, and finding that they had killed a doe, would leave it in the woods rather than face the ridicule of the camp. Under the present law, requiring that any deer killed must be at lease a forked horn, there is no excuse for the hunter who kills a doe or a human being. COMPANY L RECRUITING In order to recruit Company L, to its full strength and thereby save it from being disbanded, the Santa Ana chamber of commerce has issued the following appeal: Enlistment in Company L, 7th regiment, N. G. C., offers an opportunity for the young men of Orange county. An opportunity for physical and mental training that will be valuable, no matter what his life work is. An opportunity to serve a Flag and Country that is worthy of our best efforts. An opportunity to assist in bringing the National Guard to a point where universal service will be at least postponed and possibly unnecessary. Universal service would require every male between the ages of eighteen and thirty-five to serve two or three years actively and eight years in the reserve. Company L is a distinct asset to Santa Ana in a great many ways and Captain Holderman and his company should and will receive the support of the thinking people.

It has quite a large seed for the amount of edible matter. Will bud them all over just as quickly as a first class winter bearing fruit shows up. The Quetetaro is a strong, upright grower and a good fruiter for its age, but the fruit is smaller, 6 to 10 ounces, and the seed is larger than one had a right to expect from the description published in the association's official booklet. Of the thick skinned varieties, the Fuerte and the Taft are the best growing and spreading trees. The spread almost equals the height. The Fuerte and Healthy Dickeys are the best fruiters up to date. Of the 50 Fuertes planted, all are fruiting with from two to 54 fruits per tree at this writing, October 10, 1916. The 16 Healthy Dickeys have from six to 80 fruits. I planted 50 Dickeys, have dug out 25, and there are nine more that may have to go, as they have a slight tinge of yellow, but the 16 healthy trees one could not ask for a better grower and fruiter at their age.

Anaheim PHONE SUNSET 337 WILL CELEBRATE START OF HARBOR WORK Orange County Will Gather at Newport Bay When Jetty Work Begins A celebration, where people from all parts of Orange county can congregate and with appropriate ceremonies rejoice over the actual beginning of Newport Harbor development work, is being planned by Newport boosters for the day when the first rock is dumped into place on the jetty, which was provided for by a Newport city bond issue some months ago. Details of the celebration are yet to be worked out, but harbor enthusiasts all over the county are planning on a big time when they will begin to see the fruition of their efforts for the past score of years in behalf of an Orange county harbor. The date when work on the jetty will actually be started is yet in the unknown future, but will be hastened as fast as legalities will permit. A resolution calling for bids on the jetty work will be introduced at the next Newport city council meeting, and will be passed as soon as possible. A wait will then be necessary until the bids are submitted and passed upon, so the celebration cannot possibly be held for two months or more. The jetty will be constructed under contract if the proper bids are submitted, otherwise it is planned to have the jetty built by day labor under supervision of the city officials of Newport Beach. It is also yet to be decided where the rock for the jetty shall be secured, whether from the Catalina Island quarries of the city of Los Angeles, or from some point on the mainland. If the Catalina rock is used, it will be brought to Newport in barges, and dumped where needed from the ocean side of the sandspit, but if mainland rock is used, it will be necessary for the Pacific Electric to construct a line to the jetty side for hauling the necessary rock and materials. TRYING TO UNEARTH THE JACKSON HEIRS Hermit, Well Known in Anaheim, Left Good Estate The slender, fragile threads that lawyers have been following back into the sixties and seventies in their efforts to secure competent evidence as to who is entitled to the $9000 estate left by John Jackson, hermit, have led into different states. One thread followed by an attorney of San Francisco leads into Missouri and Illinois, and another followed by a Santa Ana attorney leads it Louisiana. The San Francisco attorney is endeavoring to force the issue to a show down, for Tuesday he applied for an order of distribution, directing Public Administrator Winbigler to turn over John Jackson's estate to Ford's client, Lorene E. Pryor, aged 15, of Quincy, Ill. One of the threads, possibly both, is faulty, for the Jacksons in Louisiana are no relation to the Missouri Jacksons. John Jackson lived on West Fifth street beyond the river. He died in fifth and loneliness during a spree. Little was known of his past. That he came from the East and was an Indian scout under Gen. McKenzie years ago was known. Over a year after he died Attorney Ford of San Francisco sought depositions in Missouri to show that the John Jackson who died here was the same John Jackson who left his home near Chillicothe, Mo., nearly forty years ago. At that time Ford represented that there were a number of heirs of the Santa Ana Jackson. Tuesday he dismissed his proceedings so far as those heirs were concerned, and centered upon one who is now declared by Ford to be the sole living heir. It is alleged that Lorene Pryor, daughter of Henry Pryor, is the granddaughter of John Jackson's sister. Her mother's name was Isabell Wright, and her grandmother's name was Jackson. The same line of testimony prevails in relation to this claimant as prevailed in the other claimants at first represented by Ford. They are all in the same FOREST NOTES During the fiscal year 1916, 705,872 acres of national forest timber lands were estimated and mapped intensively, and 1,093,006 extensively. In all, 20,815,789 acres have been mapped by intensive methods and 47,291,660 by extensive methods. The work of classifying and opening to homestead entry such lands in the national forests as are chiefly valuable for agriculture is progressing rapidly. Already over seventy million acres have been covered by field examinations and the final reports acted upon. Investigations by the forest products laboratory at Madison, Wis., have resulted in the use of spent tanbark in the manufacture of asphalt shingles to the extent of 160 tons per week. The value of the bark has been thereby increased from 60 cents to $2.50 per ton. There were cut from the national forests in the fiscal year 1916, 604,920,000 board feet of timber. Of this amount 119,483,000 board feet was cut under free use privilege by 42,055 individuals. In all, 10,840 sales of timber were made, of which 97 per cent were under $100 in value, indicating the extent to which the homesteader, rancher, miner, small mill man and others in need of a limited quantity of timber draw upon the forests.

The same line of testimony prevails in relation to this claimant as prevailed in the other claimants at first represented by Ford. They are all in the same family. The attorney who represent Eva J. Bond and others of Louisiana has recently been devoting a good deal of time to searching into the long ago for evidence to substantiate the claims of his clients. It is probable that within a few weeks the hearing upon the final distribution petition will come before the superior court, at which time the contest will be decided in favor of one or the other lines of claimants, or Germania Halle A SPLENDID LUNCH EVERY DAY.

THE POPULAR VOTE Complete official returns on the presidential election show that Mr. Wilson received 9,116,296 votes and Mr. Hughes 8,547,474, a plurality of 568,822 for Wilson. In 1912 Wilson received 6,293,019; Taft, 3,484,956 and Roosevelt 4,119,507. The total popular vote for all candidates was 18,638,871, as against 15,007,282 in 1912. This is an increase of 3,631,589, accounted for by the increased population and the women vote in the new suffrage states.
