EXPERT OPINION ON WALNUT SPRAYING Prof. H. J. Buayle Spoke to Tustin Audience Thursday "Dusting or spraying in a walnut orchard for the walnut worm, where the infestation is less than five per cent is unnecessary." Prof. Quayle of the Riverside Citrus Experimental station said this to about seventy-five Orange county walnut growers at Tustin Thursday. Prof. Quayle gave a chart demonstration and lecture, based on observations made in check plots in Santa Ana, Tustin and Carpenteria. Included in the local groves in which test plots were worked were the Sherman Stevens grove at Tustin and the A J. Crookshank grove near Santa Ana. The work done in the Stevens grove was typical of the area over which observations were made last year. Seven checked plots in the Stevens grove were kept under observation for their response under vaying treatment. The first plot was sprayed June 1, and when checked up showed an infestation of 1.3 per cent. The second plot was sprayed twice, June 1, and June 9. This plot showed the lowest percentage of infestation, .5 per cent. Plots dusted June 1 showed infestation amounting to 3.2 per cent. Another plot dusted late in the season July 8, showed 4 per cent. Spraying on July 9 in another plot resulted in 3 per cent infestation and the seventh plot, which was given no treatment, showed an infestation of 6.3 per cent, over the danger point. “This indicates that, generally speaking, one dusting is all that would be justified,” said Prof. Quayle in explanation of the results of the test plot work. "The difference in benefit derived is so little that a second dusting would not justify the expenditure necessary.

The date announced is that of the final examination. Prior to that date applications must be submitted and applications must undergo a preliminary examination. All applications are to be received and acted upon by corps area commanders who are also charged with conducting the preliminary and final examinations. Details of information concerning examinations for appointments are contained in reguations now being distributed, and application blanks may be obtained at any military post or station. Applications should be submitted by the applicant at the military post or station nearest his place of residence. Writing to the Adjutant General for information or for blanks will only cause delay. It is contemplated that successful candidates will be announced and appointed, or nominated for appointment, about two months after the examination. Candidates attending school or college will, therefore, have an opportunity to complete the present school year. All successful candidates will be arranged in their order of merit as determined by the final examination and will be appointed in the Army in such order. They will also be placed on the promotion list in such order without regard to the branch of the Army in which appointed. These candidates who attain the highest bonus" is not something which interest" only. “Gold is to which cannot supply and deny law. The problems as r equipment, etc." on July 9 in another plot resulted in 3 per cent infestation and the seventh plot, which was given no treatment, showed an infestation of 6.3 per cent, over the danger point. "This indicates that, generally speaking, one dusting is all that would be justified," said Prof. Quayle in explanation of the results of the test plot work. "The difference in benefit derived is so little that a second dusting would not justify the expenditure necessary." "Spray checks showed a little better control than dusting, but the expense of application comes higher and is hardly worth the difference." Professor Quayle explained that the trees in the Stevens grove were some if the largest in the county. They are budded trees and are engleen or nineteen years old. Ten pounds of dusting material was required for each tree. The cost of the material was 60 cents, and application amounted to 15 cents, or a total of 75 cents for dusting each tree. "In spraying, 30 gallons of solution were used. The proportions of material in the solution were six pounds of lead arsenate to 200 gallons of water. The material cost 23 cents for each tree and application amounted to 60 cents, a total of 83 cents a tree." Prof. Quayle pointed out that the one dusting applied early in the season, near June 1, was more desirable and efficient than in the latter part of the season. Another point stressed by Professor Quayle was that a basic or neutral arsenate of lead should be used rather than the acid lead arsenate, as the material from an acid base frequently causes an excessive arsenical burning of the foliage. In outlining the control program for the coming season, Professor Quayle stated that the best period of application for dusting or spraying was between May 25 and June 25. In this connection the speaker pointed out the advantages of dusting over spraying in that it was more convenient to handle, less bulk and lighter than spray material. It will also cover a large area more quickly than the liquid spray and is therefore cheaper in application. Plans for a walnut growers' department of the Farm Bureau were told by N. E. Wahlberg, county Farm advisor. The matter is to be taken up with the various walnut growers' associations who are expected to send farm advisors on the work in the county. Later plans include the sewing of a walnut extension specialist. All successful candidates will be arranged in their order of merit as determined by the final examination and will be appointed in the Army in such order. They will also be placed on the promotion list in such order without regard to the branch of the Army in which appointed. These candidates who attain the highest marks on examination will therefore have priority in advancement to the vacancies existing as first lieutenant. To be informed as to the full details concerning examinations and appointment, it is necessary that candidates consult the regulations which are being sent to all military posts and stations. However, the prospective candidates attention is directed to the following important points: General requirements:—To be eligible for original appointment, candidates must satisfy the following conditions, except as otherwise stated in the sections of those regulations pertaining to the Judge Advocate General's Department and Philippine Scouts. The candidates must be at the time of appointment:— (a) A male citizen of the United States. (b) Between the ages of 21 and 30 years. (c) Either (1) a warrant officer or enlisted man of the Regular Army of more than two years' service as such; or (2) a reserve officer, an officer, warrant officer, or enlisted man of the National Guard; a member of the Enlisted Reserve Corps; or a graduate of a technical institution approved by the Secretary of War. ENCOURAGING OUTLOOK FOR GOLD RELIEF. San Francisco, March, 29th: Prospects for relief for the gold mining industry in California and other portions of the United States are brighter today than they have ever been before according to State Mineralogist Fetcher Hamilton. "While the gold miners themselves, and many bankers and financiers, have long realized the importance attached to the question of maintaining our gold output." said Mr. Hamilton, "the general public, including some of the leading men throughout the country, have remained in a condition of apathy with regard to the entire subject." "This state of mind has been reflected in Congress and as a result bonus" is not something which interest" only. "Gold is to which cannot supply and deny law. The problems as r equipment, etc., faces, but when selling price re he must absorb unaided. "Such costs past years untilifornia gold mine profitable entduction in Calif $20,000,000 and dropped to $13 still going down. "The gold miner drop his tools line of work, been made by studied the quement and then States, East and real sufferers in that extreme. "These points generally under and the new ad to be in sympa adding to our subtracting fro for the people alert and best interests longer overlook promptly by th convenes in s middle of April." Plans for a walnut growers' department of the Farm Bureau were told by N. E. Wahlberg, county Farm advisor. The matter is to be taken up with the various walnut growers' associations who are expected to send farm advisors on the work in the county. Later plans include the securing of a walnut extension specialist, who will devote his entire time to working out field problems in the walnut sections of Southern California. Harry W. Lewis, president of the Santa Ana Walnut Growers' association, and Mr. Thomas, manager of the spray material department of the California Walnut Growers' association talked on the various spray materials concerning their value for the walnut and citrus grower. VACANCIES IN ARMY There are more than 4,000 vacancies in the commissioned personnel of the Army. When promotions under the reorganization law are completed about 1200 of these vacancies will be in the grade of first lieutenant, the remainder being in the grade of second lieutenant. While it is not proposed to fill all vacancies at present, the necessity for more officers for the Army requires that a portion of the vacancies be filled without delay. An examination of appointment will, therefore be held April 25, 1921. This examination will be competitive for 2,585 vacancies; the appointments to be distributed among the branches of the Army as follows: Infantry ... 812 "NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH" Great Comedy Hit Made Famous by Willie Collier Is Scheduled for Chautauqua Patrons on Fifth Night Could you tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth for twenty-four hours? Robert Bennett wagers $10,000 that he can do this herculean task and out of the consequences of his attempt to carry out the wager grow many screamingly funny situations. "Nothing But the Truth," when presented by Willie Collier in New York was declared the most successful comedy that had been presented to Broadway audiences in years. It will be presented at Chautauqua on the Fifth night by the Keighley Broadway Players with an all-professional cast. bonus" is not "class" legislation or something which will aid a "special interest" only.

"Gold is the only raw material which cannot respond to the law of supply and demand. Its price is fixed by law. The producer has all the problems as regards labor, supplies, equipment, etc., that any other operator faces, but when costs increase his selling price remains the same and he must absorb his own losses all unaided. "Such costs have increased during past years until in many parts of California gold mining is no longer a profitable enterprise. Normal production in California is in excess of $20,000,000 annually. That figure dropped to $13,000,000 in 1920 and is still going down. "The gold miner can, if necessary drop his tools and go into some other line of work, such suggestions have been made by those who have not studied the question, but the government and the people of the United States, East and West, would be the real sufferers if he is allowed to go to that extreme. "These points are becoming more generally understood by the public and the new administration is believed to be in sympathy with the idea of adding to our gold supply instead of subtracting from it. It only remains for the people themselves to be on the alert and to see that their own best interests in this matter, are no longer overlooked, but are attended to promptly by the new Congress which convenes in special session in the middle of April."

Said bids were taken under consideration until April 5th, 1921. Bids were received and opened for the Entrance Gate, at the County Park, and it was ordered that all bids be referred to the County Park Committee. The Board ordered that all bids be rejected and checks and bonds be returned to bidders. The Chairman was authorized to approve bond on Map of Tract No. 156, and said map was accepted as the official plotting of said tract.

LONG, LONG AGO Some day in this restless age we shall stop for a spell to make up a list of the fast disappearing things which were in their own day so common to eye and ear that we scarcely noticed them. Which does not mean that they were not dear to us in the days of their glory. When that last is made up, it will be found to be longer than the longest list of grievances of the ultimate consumer against the profiteer. Occasionally we find these things in novels which tell of the days of our grandfathers; sometimes a critic of the present order, looking in vain for something he once held dear calls our attention to the fact that it is with us no more. Such a one entered a plaintive protest recently over the fact that the old time livery stable is today as rare as the dodo bird. "Many times," he says. "farmers have to drive their teams several miles to find a place where horses may be cared for during the noon hour." It is a restless age and a changing one. The log cabin candidates, once so dear to the heart of the voter, where are they? The torchlight processions on the eve of Presidential elections, once the delight of every small boy who came in this way in his own right into the possession of a torch—these, too, are gone. The old oaken bucket, the rail fence, ear muffs, the dickey, gay decolves, which looked like a shirt but wasn't having to rely on coat and vest for support in its deceit—most of us know of these things now only by heresay or from the memoirs of persons departed. More recently the brass rail has gone from among us. The village blacksmith is still with us, to be sure, but he is going into decline; he now carries tires and automobile assessors as a sideline, and the clang of his anvil is not what it used to be. When a list of these things to which the reader may add at will, has been completed, it may be that social scientists will interpret the significance of their disappearance. Until such time, however, we shall mourn that, like Clementine of the heart-throb song, they are "lost" and gone forever."—S. B. Sun.
