At Stearns Real drill is grinding away on erate at 1800 feet. The hole was the best that here, and shows how hard drilling really is in this. The Riverview Oil about completed the ride on its new well, Benno hopes to start drilling of the week. The well half mile south of the Clare and is regarded as one interesting locations in the field well, in the sand wash, mented and will not be ten days. The Santa Fe’s Brad No. 2 are two of the hard drilling at Richfield. Eight feet was made in erate during the past year a little better, making 13 some 90 feet was made glomerate, bringing the well down to 850 feet. Are drilling on cable too The Standard Oil Co. helm Union No. 1 is no well drilling at Yorba COST OF PLANTING A WALNUT ORCHARD Growers' Association 'Says It Ranges from $10 to $50 Per Acre. During the past three years, when the cost of farm labor has been increasing steadily, along with the price of implements, seed, nursery stock fertilizers and other necessities on the farm, there has been considerable speculation as to the probable cost of planting a walnut grove. This question is fairly answered by the California Walnut Growers' Association, which has just completed a survey in which fifty walnut growers, owning 3,000 acres of young trees, were interviewed. According to the figures thus obtained, the cost of buying and setting out trees in 1919 has amounted to from $15 to $50 per acre, the average being $28.40. With budded trees now costing from $1 to $1.50 each, the cost today would probably range nearer $50 than $15 per acre. The annual cost of maintenance (on plantings of twenty acres or more) ranges between $10 and $50 per acre, including taxes. On plantings from one to twenty acres, the annual cost ranges from $15 to $50, with an average cost of $37. The average on all plantings considered was $31. By the use of intercrops, however, this expense is frequently reduced to a negligible amount. The annual cost of operating, including all expenses such as irrigation, fertilization, cultivation, pruning, harvesting, taxes, etc., runs from $32 to $100 per acre, with an average of $61 for plantings of twenty acres or more. This cost increases as the acreage decreases in size. It is claimed that a safe estimate for business purposes puts the normal cost of operation between $40 and $60 per acre. The average cost of packing and marketing is about one and one-half cents per pound or based on a yield of 1,000 pounds per acre, $15.50 per acre. This item amounted to 5 percent of the selling price for the 1918 crop, or one and one-half cents per pound. C. Thorpe, general manager of the fruit trees has been and still is practiced in some localities, possibly to the profit of the grower, but most likely to the disadvantage of the walnut trees. Clean culture, combined with the use of winter cover crops, is believed by many successful growers to be the most satisfactory method of handling the soil in walnut groves. Such crops as meillotus indica, purple vetch and horse beans make good cover crops if properly handled. These leguminous crops add nitrogen to the soil and improve its mechanical condition. The cover crop is usually planted just after the harvest and is plowed under to a good depth during the latter part of March or early in April. The soil should be well broken up with a disc and harrow, and kept in good tilth throughout the summer. With the present practice of distant planting in vogue, intercropping is resorted to as a means of supporting the walnut trees before they come into profitable bearing and increasing the earnings of older groves. In localities where beans do well they can be used with profit and satisfactory results as an intercrop. They usually yield well and, being a leguminous crop, add considerable nitrogen to the soil. Furthermore the bean roots and vines, when plowed under, increase the humus content of the soil and improve its mechanical condition. The cultivation given this intercrop improves the trees as well. In the case of a strong soil, where plenty of irrigation water is available intercropping with winter vegetables, such as lettuce and cabbage, has proved to be a desirable practice. The use of grains as an intercrop is absolutely unsatisfactory, according to Mr. Thorpe, and alfalfa, he says, is only to be recommended where abundant water is available for irrigation purposes. If alfalfa is used as an intercrop a wide strip of cultivated ground should be left between the intercrop and the trees.

It is claimed that a safe estimate for business purposes puts the normal cost of operation between $40 and $60 per acre. The average cost of packing and marketing is about one and one-half cents per pound or based on a yield of 1,000 pounds per acre, $15.50 per acre. This item amounted to 5 percent of the selling price for the 1918 crop, or one and one-half cents per pound. C. Thorpe, general manager of the California Walnut Growers' Association, states that there are commercial walnut groves in California which produce more than a ton of marketable walnuts to the acre each year. There are many, he says, which produce over 1,000 pounds per acre. The actual 1918 yield of fifty growers who were recently canvassed by the association was 1,300 pounds per acre for trees over 12 years old, and an average of 500 pounds per acre for trees from 7 to 12 years of age. A safe estimate for business purposes is from 900 to 1,200 pounds per year for each acre of mature trees, Mr. Thorpe says. The walnut usually comes into bearing at from 5 to 9 years after planting. Association records give seven years as the time for profitable bearing. With good treatment, a walnut tree will bear indefinitely, it is said. There are trees in France and elsewhere in the old world which are known to have been profitable producers for hundreds of years. Many trees in California are producing bountiful crops at 60 years of age and over. Under proper cultural methods the older a walnut tree becomes, the greater is its productivity. In California the oldest trees appear to be the heaviest producers. The interplanting of walnut groves in Southern California with deciduous Mr. Thorpe, and alfalfa, he says, is only to be recommended where abundant water is available for irrigation purposes. If alfalfa is used as an intercrop a wide strip of cultivated ground should be left between the intercrop and the trees. FOUND LOST WHEEL IN WRONG PLACE There was a certain youngster at Orange who lost his bicycle. The youngster's father reported the matter to the sheriff's office, stating that the bicycle had been stolen from in front of a movie theater in Santa Ana while the lad was inside. The father simply repeated the circumstances of the theft the way they had been told him by his young hopeful. He had no reason to believe that the story should be taken with a grain of salt. So the sheriff's office got busy and broadcasted circulars throughout the county, telling all about the wheel having been stolen from in front of a movie house. It was Ed Vaughan, of Orange, who innocently punctured the boy's story. For Vaughan, who knew that the boy had lost his wheel, happened to see it and reported his find. But where Vaughan found the bicycle was not in front of a motion picture theater. No. The wheel was leaning against a house. And the house was located quite near a water melon patch. And now there is a certain youngster at Orange who—well, he has recovered his bicycle, and it is to be surmised that his appetite for watermelons is not exactly what it once was.

The Clark Oil Company property is providing the hard properties to field district. At 300 conglomerate was struck (the present depth) at the same. Already we has been held up writing jobs, but fortunately always recovered, able to go on. The Union Off Complex strong lead with the door at Richfield, and is still work than any of the operating in the new Union set boilers 5, completed rig for started drilling on M started drilling on this ment lease, and started for a well on the Chatham Placentia. The sudden increase to a gusher of 12,000 of the Standard's M61 was the signal form on this famous oil plant new wells were located well on the Emery p The new wells are New and Emery No. 36. IN THE OIL FIELD (From Brea Progress) One of the most promising looking wells now drilling in Richfield is the General Petroleum's Yorba 3-1. This well is now drilling at 2900 feet, the formation is a brown shale, and indications are pointing toward a good well. At Stearns Realty No. 1 the drill is grinding away on the conglomerate at 1800 feet. Twenty feet of hole was the best that could be made here, and shows how hard some of the drilling really is in this new field. The Riverview Oil Company has about completed the rigging-up work on its new well, Bennett No. 1, and hopes to start drilling before the end of the week. The well is located a half mile south of the Chapman gusher and is regarded as one of the promising locations in the field. The Heffron well, in the sand wash, is standing cemented and will not be opened up for ten days. The Santa Fe's Bradford No. 1 and No. 2 are two of the hardest wells now drilling at Richfield. At No. 1 only eight feet was made in hard conglomerate during the past week. No. 2 did a little better, making 18 feet. At No. 3 some 90 feet was made in the conglomerate, bringing the depth of the well down to 850 feet. All three wells are drilling on cable tools. The Standard Oil Company's Anaheim Union No. 1 is now the deepest well drilling at Yorba Linda, and at Most of the new wells have been located near Murphy 61. Upon drilling out the cement and making preparations to continue drilling on the Standard's Murphy 51, the well started flowing and is making by heads close to 1000 barrels a day. No. 54 is drilling by pipe at 3070. No. 56 is drilling at 4100 feet, and No. 57 is rigging up for cable tools to resume drilling at 4330 feet. No. 60 is the deep well of the lease, drilling here being at 4145 feet. Nos. 62, 63, 64 and 65 are standing cemented. No. 67 is now drilling at 2460 and No. 68 at 2775. Locations for six new wells, the wonderful increase in the production of the field, the great showing of the Union's Chapman well, the renewal of activity on the Standard's Murphy-Coyote, and more than a hundred wells drilling, are a few of the features that marked the last week in July, one of the greatest months the oil industry of Southern California has experienced since the opening of the year. Oil operators throughout the entire field are very optimistic in their views for the future of development work. This is attested by the fact that many new oil companies have come into the field recently, more land is now held under lease than ever before, and many of the most conservative oil concerns have mapped out big drilling programs. Excitement runs high in the Richfield district, where wells are being drilled with just as much speed as in any of the Texas fields. Activity is strong everywhere and the next few months are destined to see some great things in Southern California oil. After flowing for three days and making on high as 12,000 barrels a day, eight feet was made in hard conglomerate during the past week. No. 2 did a little better, making 18 feet. At No. 3 some 90 feet was made in the conglomerate, bringing the depth of the well down to 850 feet. All three wells are drilling on cable tools. The Standard Oil Company's Anaheim Union No. 1 is now the deepest well drilling at Yorba Linda, and at 4240 feet the well is not looking any more promising than at the time it was spudded in. The formation is blue shale, a formation at this depth not being considered very favorable. The condition of the hole is good, however, and the drilling is to continue until a satisfactory deep test is made. Lock No. 2 is drilling at 1875 feet, and as yet has not shown anything worth mentioning. Work on new wells on the Kraemer lease started a few days ago with rigging-up on No. 1-4 and rig building at No. 1-5. The Standard Oil Company has set a string of 8¼-inch pipe at 2845 feet at Kraemer 2-1, and the well will stand for a couple of weeks. As this well offsets the Union's big gusher, the re-opening and resumption of drilling will be watched with great interest. The Standard should get a 4000-barrel well here. Kraemer 2-2 is drilling at 2880 feet. The formation in the well is a softer sand and allowed almost 300 feet of hole to be made in the last week. The Collins well is still standing cemented, the depth being 3100 feet. Previous to the cementing a good showing was reported. In spite of the fact that the Amalgamated's Yorba No. 1 is drilling in a shale that has been known to carry oil and the depth of the well is getting to a point where a showing is expected, no oil has been observed as yet. Drilling is now at 2225 and going nicely. For fast time and absence of fishing jobs, the Petroleum-Midway is leading the work in the Richfield district. At Yarnell No. 1 some 60 feet was made in the conglomerate, bringing the depth of the well down to 1800 feet. At No. 2 the hard sand and boulders allowed 300 feet of hole to be made, the depth now being 2320 feet. No. 3 is drilling in the conglomerate at 1880 the well showing 275 feet of hole made for the week. After flowing for three days and making as high as 12,000 barrels a day, the Standard's Murphy No. 61 sanded up early Monday morning and is now quiet. Standard Oil officials are pleased with the well's action and welcomed the sanding up, as it will give them time to get the well in condition to be taken care of properly before opening up again. While the action of this well, which came in quietly some six weeks ago, doing 500 berrels, is somewhat of a mystery, it is believed that the great volume of oil came from a deeper sand. At first it was thought that the well was making oil from a shallow sand that might have been passed through while drilling with the rotary, and not noticed. However, it is not considered probable that such a volume of oil could be passed by unnoticed. Considerable repair work will have to be done on the well before it can produce again. One string of casing was ripped into shreds and another was collapsed. It will be some weeks before the well will be in condition to produce properly. Some operators with theories connecting the production of oil with the action of the sea hold that the action of the Murphy well was due to the recent oceanic disturbances, and even go so far as to say that some wells show differences in production that vary with the rise and fall of the tides. FARMERS OWN HALF OF AUTOS IN AMERICA "A friend remarked to me the other day that he would like to live on a farm, but was afraid to make the change for he didn't know the business," remarked a Santa Ana business man last week. "That is some change, isn't it, from the situation when some of us were boys. Most any one used to make a farmer whether he knew anything else or not. In the old days farming consisted of about 90 per cent manual labor and about 10 per cent brains. Now the percentages are about despite testimony given by a number of witnesses to the effect that they believe Siebert to have been intoxicated at the time he was driving the automobile which collided with one in which Mrs. Clate Stanfield's party was riding, the evidence was held insufficient to bind Siebert over to the superior court. The testimony tending to show that Siebert was under the influence of liquor was offset by that of Doctors Burlew and Cushman, who testified that an examination of Siebert showed that while he had many of the symptoms of intoxication, this was due to a nervous trouble from which Siebert suffers. Earl Byron, of Oceanside, who had previously stated his belief that Siebert was drunk, took the stand and reversed himself. Sheriff Jackson and Under Sheriff Iman were on the stand and testified that they believed Siebert to have been intoxicated. Others who testified were James Spears of Escondido, who was riding with Siebert at the time of the accident: Morris Stanfield, Adalois Short, G.W. Short, Clayton Stanfield and A.Merrill, the latter a machinist at a garage at Oceanside. The Stanfield party, composed of people of Orange, was returning home from the Christian Endeavor convention at Long Beach when the accident occurred. For fast time and absence of fishing jobs, the Petroleum-Midway is leading the work in the Richfield district. At Yarnell No. 1 some 60 feet was made in the conglomerate, bringing the depth of the well down to 1800 feet. At No. 2 the hard sand and boulders allowed 300 fett of hole to be made, the depth now being 2320 feet. No. 3 is drilling in the conglomerate at 1880 the well showing 275 feet of hole made for the week. The Clark Oil Company's Hugo Wetzel property is proving to be one of the hard properties to drill in the Richfield district. At 300 feet the hard conglomerate was struck, and at 1475 (the present depth) the formation is the same. Already work on this well has been held up with numerous fishing jobs, but fortunately the pipe was always recovered, allowing the work to go on. The Union Oil Company is taking a strong lead with the development work at Richfield, and is starting more new work than any of the many concerns operating in the new field. This week the Union set boilers for Chapman No. 5, completed rig for Dickson No. 1, started drilling on McFadden No. 1, started drilling on the Towell Investment lease, and started rig building for a well on the Chapman home place at Placentia. The sudden increase from 400 barrels to a gusher of 12,000 barrels capacity of the Standard's Murphy-Coyote No. 61 was the signal for renewed activity on this famous oil property, and four new wells were located, and one new well on the Emery property adjoining. The new wells are Nos. 70, 71, 72, 74 and Emery No. 36. Rig building on the new locations has already started. day that he would like to live on a farm, but was afraid to make the change for he didn't know the business," remarked a Santa Ana business man last week.

In the old days farming consisted of about 90 per cent manual labor and about 10 per cent brains. Now the percentages are about reversed. "The successful farm owner today is the head of a highly specialized business. Not only must he be an expert in the raising of crops, but he has the same production and transportation problems as the head of any other business. "It will surprise a lot of people to hear that over half of the automobiles in this country are owned by farmers, and over one-third of the motor trucks." "The successful farmer is a pioneer in the automobile line. Ten to one he knows more about the insides of his car or his truck than you do. He buys a truck because he has figured out where it is going to save his money, and he can tell you right down to the smallest mechanical reason why the truck he purchased is best suited to his needs. "Salesmen tell me that it is easier to talk trucks to farmers because they know what they want, they understand the constructional features, they understand mechanical terms and descriptions." DRIVER WASN'T DRUNK The case against M. L. Siebert, cigar salesman of Los Angeles, who had a hearing in Justice Cox's court on a charge of driving an automobile while intoxicated, stands dismissed. Others who testified were James Spears of Escondido, who was riding with Siebert at the time of the accident: Morris Stanfield, Adalois Short, G. W. Short, Clayton Stanfield and A.

ORANGE MAN KILLED IN MOTORCYCLE CRASH another motorcycle, driven by Ken-W. E. Harden Meets Death in a Collision. Hurled over the shoulders of his son when the motorcycle driven by the latter collided with another motorcycle, W. E. Harden, of Orange, is dead. The accident occurred at about 7 o'clock Thursday night on the Santiago boulevard in front of the residence of William Bathgate, who lives about half mile east of the Villa Park packing house. The elder Harden was riding on the rear of a motorcycle driven by his son, James A. Harden, of 171 South Grand, Orange. The two men were proceeding west on the boulevard when neth Bathgate, came out of the Bathgate driveway, turning east. As the two motorcycles approached each other, Bathgate took to the right of the road. Apparently momentarily confused by the suddenness of the meeting, James Harden seemingly in doubt as to the direction Bathgate intended taking, veered sharply to the left, his motorcycle striking Bathgate's practically in the center.

BASTANCHURYS PAY BIG INHERITANCE TAX J. N. Anderson Appraises the Amount at $30,000. According to a report prepared by J. N. Anderson, the Bastanchury estate will pay in the neighborhood of $30,000 inheritance tax to the state. The state law requires that if inheritance taxes are not paid within eighteen months of the death of a testator a penalty of 10 per cent must be paid, provided there is no litigation over the property. If there is litigation a penalty of 7 per cent must be paid. The penalty the Bastanchury heirs must pay, owing to the fact that they brought suit against the Murphy Oil Company, is approximately $12,000. The amount of the tax as appraised by Anderson is $17,836, making a total of nearly $30,000 which will go to the state. The Bastanchury oil case came up in the Los Angeles courts more than a year ago and aroused considerable interest in the estate. However, owing to certain statutory requirements, the inheritance tax has been apportioned as though the will had bequeathed the widow half of the property and the four children equal shares in the remaining half. Several months ago a check for $20,000 was given the county by the Bastanchury heirs, as an initial inheritance tax payment. FOR AMERICANISM The American Legion, the new organization of veterans of the great war, has begun its public service most auspiciously with a plan for a patriotic campaign against the "Reds." There are a number of projects with this commendable and timely object, but none which will have the effect of that of the legion. Where a man who has worn the khaki or blue in the service of the republic speaks on Americanism and on patriotism it is going to count. The American people have reason to hold their soldiers and sailors in esteem. We are proud of their feuds and their character, and proud with good reason. Whether they had the privilege of getting to the firing line or were only ready and waiting, we know they were true blue Americans, men of all races and creeds, but loyal as one man to the flag and what it stands for.

If there is litigation a penalty of 7 per cent must be paid. The penalty the Bastanchury heirs must pay, owing to the fact that they brought suit against the Murphy Oil Company, is approximately $12,000. The amount of the tax as appraised by Anderson is $17,836, making a total of nearly $30,000 which will go to the state. The Bastanchury oil case came up in the Los Angeles courts more than a year ago and aroused considerable interest in Orange county. Briefly, the complaint set forth that the Murphy Oil Company had violated an agreement with Domingo Bastanchury, whereby under the terms of a lease the oil company was to allow Bastanchury the use of any water that might be developed on his land, provided the company was unsuccessful in its quest for oil. The company put down a well and later abandoned it, informing him it was alleged, that no oil had been discovered. Later, according to the complaint, the Murphy company bought about 2500 acres of Bastanchury, paying him $39 an acre. Domingo Bastanchury died in 1909. Several years later, when an immensely wealthy oil property had been developed by the Murphy company, Bastanchury's sons began an investigation which showed, it was alleged, that the oil company had violated its agreement with the father. The case came into the Los Angels courts and a compromise was reached, an order of court awarding the Bastanchury heirs about $1,200,000. In April the Murphy Oil Company gave the Bastanchury heirs a check for $600,000 and six promissory notes for the remainder of the amount. By the terms of the will the widow and four children are to share equally to count. The American people have reason to hold their soldiers and sailors in esteem. We are proud of their deeds and their character, and proud with good reason. Whether they had the privilege of getting to the firing line or were only ready and waiting, we know they were true blue Americans, men of all races and creeds, but loyal as one man to the flag and what it stands for. We hope the legion's speaking campaign will spread over all the country and especially attack those strongholds of foreign ideas which have held out against Americanism. The press should back the legion with its full strength and spread its influence. The forces of disintegration are stronger than usual in all civilization. They are comparatively weaker in our country than in the countries stricken by war, but they are with us and the American legion is the best of all agencies to defeat them. GROWERS ORGANIZE All the fruit growers of San Bernardino and Riverside counties, deciduous and citrus fruit growers combined, will be joined in one big association, according to plans made last night at a joint meeting of the farm bureau of The two counties. The purpose is to provide a central marketing bureau by which the crops of the members can be handled to better advantage. As it now is there is no organization for creating markets and with the deciduous fruit growers there has been heavy loss and wastage because the crop could not be disposed of at the right time. There will be another meeting in a few days at which more definite plans for the organization will be advanced.
