FARM BUREAU NOTES 400 Walnut Growers Listen to Experts New grading standards have been adopted by the California Walnut Growers' Association, according to A. J. McFadden, a director of the association, who addressed the Orange county walnut growers at the annual meeting of the walnut growers' department of the Orange county farm bureau. He stated that next year every lot of walnuts brought into the packing house will be handled on its own merits and will not be mixed with other growers' lots. The No. 1 standard grade will allow a tolerance of 5 per cent wormy nuts or shrivels. The No. 2 grade will go under a new name very recently adopted by the growers of the association, to be called "Emerald Brand." This grade will allow a tolerance of 7 per cent worms and shrivels. According to the special committee report given by J. A. Smiley, chairman of the committee, and also chairman of the walnut growers' department, the horticultural commissioner's office will have entire charge of the coding moth control work in Orange county for the coming year. H. W. Wright, deputy commissioner, has been placed in charge of the field work, to be assisted by an entomologist and corps of inspectors during the height of the season. The walnut codling moth control work will be carried on in much the same way as the scale pest work in citrus. That is, if a walnut grove is found infested to the extent that it becomes a nuisance to the industry, the horticultural office will so notify the grower to dust or spray. Inspectors will be in the field throughout the season to keep growers posted on the condition of their grove and the progress of the life history of the pest during the season. Prof. A. W. Christie emphasized the need for quicker harvesting methods, not only from the standpoint of improving the quality of nuts delivered to the making house, but also to get the crop European Walnuts Offer Competition By H. E. WAHLBERG, County Farm Advisor "European walnut production up to the last two years was not considered a serious competition to the California crop, but with the adoption of American methods the French and Italian walnut growers and shippers are now delivering to the Atlantic seaboard a quality product which compares very favorably with the California standard." The above statement comes from Dr. L. D. Batchelor of the citrus experiment station, in addressing over four hundred Orange county walnut growers at the annual meeting of the walnut department of the Orange County farm bureau, last Saturday, in the auditorium of the Tustin high school. With the introduction of modern dehydration methods and bleaching processes, the Frenchman is sending a nut to this country that compares very closely with the appearance of our own product. With French labor at 40 cents per 10-hour day, the foreign producer is able to make substantial cuts on the American price. In other words, it is up to the California grower to maintain higher and stricter grades than in the past if he is going to succeed in meeting the foreign competition. Dr. Batchelor reports that on his recent trip to the continental walnut sections he found that Italian walnut production will double in the next 15 years. In certain French districts, however, rapid growth of production will be hampered by the spread of oak root fungus, which is cutting down the production on large areas. Samples of European walnuts, including Marbot, Cornes, Franquettes and Grenobles, shown at the Tustin meeting, compared very favorably with the California No. 1 soft shell in quality, color and uniformity.

Inspectors will be in the field throughout the season to keep growers posted on the condition of their grove and the progress of the life history of the pest during the season. Prof. A. W. Christie emphasized the need for quicker harvesting methods, not only from the standpoint of improving the quality of nuts delivered to the packing house, but also to get the crop on the market as early as possible, and particularly before the holiday season. Delayed harvesting causes the formation of moldy and discolored nuts, which materially reduces the value of the product. In order to insure better quality, Christie made the following recommendations: 1. Apply late summer irrigation to loosen the husks and hold the leaves on the tree. 2. Begin harvest as early as possible. 3. Make numerous pickings during the season, at least once a week. Nuts that lie on the ground are subject to weather, moisture and ants. 4. Knock off and husk all stick-tights early in the season. All mushy husks should be separated and washed. 5. Don't mix bad nuts with the good nuts. 6. W. B. Hooper, walnut specialist with the college of agriculture, and H. E. Wahlberg, Orange county farm advisor, outlined the various projects which have been adopted by the walnut department of the farm bureau for 1926, which looked to better production of walnuts from a quality standpoint. Briefly, the projects to be carried out this year are demonstrations on better irrigation, treatment of trunk and root diseases of walnuts, pest control, walnut pruning, removal of crowded trees and better harvesting methods. Lemon Pruning Demonstration According to announcement from the farm advisor's office, a lemon pruning demonstration will be held in the Villa Park district on Friday, March 19. The purpose of this demonstration will be to give lemon growers an opportunity to practice methods recommended by the agricultural extension service. Nothing but lemons will be pruned at this demonstration. Farm Advisor Wahlberg invites all lemon growers interested to bring their pruning shears and saws with them, in order that each one may have an opportunity to actually practice the methods demonstrated. W. R. Schoonover, citrus specialist of the agricultural extension service, and H. E. Wahlberg, Orange county farm advisor, will jointly conduct the demonstration. The citrus committee of the Villa Park farm center will select the grove, an announcement of which will be given to the press later. Educational Trip to Boulder Canyon Through the courtesy of the Las Vegas (Nevada) Chamber of Commerce and sponsored by the city of Imperial Chamber of Commerce and the farm bureau, the professional and business men, also ranchers, including their ladies, will make a community educational trip to the Colorado river from Imperial, Riverside, San Diego, San Bernardino, Orange and Los Angeles counties, leaving the Elks' clubhouse, San Bernardino, on Fourth street, between E and D streets, on Wednesday, March 17, at 6 o'clock a.m., and leave shortly thereafter for Las Vegas. Nevada. The route will be via Barstow, Daggett, Baker and the Arrowhead trail, arriving same evening at Las Vegas, about 6 o'clock. The Barstow Chamber of Commerce will join the caravan at Barstow and guide across the desert. Thursday, March 18, the Las Vegas Chamber of Commerce as host will guide t o Boulder canyon, at which point luncheon will be served. Friday, March 19, the caravan will visit Black canyon, lancheon also at this point. Friday evening, March 19, there will be a banquet, and good speakers are promised. The round trip will be made in four days, returning Saturday, March 20. Those who were on the former trip urge a large attendance. NEW USE FOR FILMS The Orange county members of the California Milk Producers' Association will hold their regular meeting at the farm bureau office, March 10, at 10 a.m. As a part of the program, government films on tuberculosis eradication will be shown. T. H. Brice, secretary-manager of the association, will make a report on general conditions of Farm Advisor Wahlberg invites all lemon growers interested to bring their pruning shears and saws with them, in order that each one may have an opportunity to actually practice the methods demonstrated. W. R. Schoonover, citrus specialist of the agricultural extension service, and H. E. Wahlberg, Orange county farm advisor, will jointly conduct the demonstration. The citrus committee of the Villa Park farm center will select the grove, an announcement of which will be given to the press later. That which is won by force must be maintained by force. That which is gained by education maintains itself. Old Registration Still Holds Good (Continued from Page One) elections held thereafter and before the first day of April of that year, and shall on said last mentioned date be deemed canceled for all purposes. "It is very evident that the said section 1598 permits every voter, resident of the school district, who is a qualified voter of the county and who has registered in the precinct where the election is held, at least 30 days before the election, to vote at the school election for school trustees. In fact, that is just what the section says, and it is apparent that anyone presenting himself as a voter at such election, who can qualify under section 1598, would be entitled to vote thereat. It would then be necessary to determine whether said person was at said time an elector and it is evident that if he had the qualifications set forth in said section 1083, he would be an elector, and since the proviso of said section 1094 permits all of those, who have registered and were entitled to vote in the last general state election, to vote at any of the elections mentioned in said section, which may be held before April of this year, and since said section 1082, after setting forth the qualifications mentioned, provides that such person shall be a qualified voter at any and all elections held within the county, city and county, city, town or district within which such voter resides, it would seem that there can be no question but what a reading of the sections mentioned is sufficient to authorize anyone, who was qualified, to vote at the last general election and who has the other qualifications mentioned in said sections, should be entitled to vote at the school election, to be held on March 26 for school trustees." Recording his conclusions, the district attorney adds: "In addition to the above reasons, you are aware that the above interpretation has heretofore been the construction placed upon the election laws and those persons qualifying in the past to said sections have been permitted, at the past school elections, to vote for trustees without question and I might say that I certainly would hesitate to place a strained construction on said sections, which would disfranchise a great majority of the electors, who would desire to vote at said elections, especially until a court of competent jurisdiction has passed on the same." Many Candidates For City Trustee (Continued from Page One) Registration for this election will close Saturday and, while it is not expected that a full registration will be secured, a large majority of the citizens will be eligible to vote, owing to the extraordinary efforts of the deputy clerks to get the people on the register. The man or woman who falls to get ANAHEIM GAZETTE Ladies of Concordia Give Card Party A very delightful time was spent on Monday evening at the regular monthly card party given by the ladies of the Concordia. About ninety-were present, a very good attendance for the lenten season. There were 22 tables, and five hundred, skat and sheepshead were played. At five hundred Mrs. J. W. Hetebrink won high score. John Heyne second, J. W. Hetebrink third, P. H. Kamnrath fourth, Mrs. H. M. Wichers fifth and H. Bartels sixth. Miss Margaret Pouplier was awarded the conolation. At skat H. Siemens, P. Frahm and Carl Elliott were the lucky ones, and at sheephead Y. Frees and A. Marske won the prizes. On Palm Sunday the Concordia will give a sacred Easter program. The singing section will give a number of songs and there will also be some beautiful solos. The feature of the evening will be a series of tableaux, or living pictures, of the Passion Play. Some of these were given during the holidays, and numerous requests for their repetition have been received. The ladies have given much time and thought in their preparation and beautiful and artistic tableaux will be the result. Musical Magazine Published by Danz The Danz Magazine for Music Lovers is a new publication being distributed by the Danz Music Company, and it is to be issued monthly, according to announcement. Although this magazine, which is beautifully printed and full of interesting matter, is distributed free, it is not an advertising medium for the Danz company, but is intended to disseminate information about music and the great men and women who have composed it and executed it. The current number contains a great story about Caruso, also a sketch of Ludwig von Beethoven, the greatest composer of all time. There are many other things of interest in it, especially to those who love music. Drop in at Danz's, 162 West Center street, and get one. It will cost you nothing and you will find something worth reading in it. REPUBLICAN STUDY CLUB The Republican Study Club met Friday morning last at the home of Mrs. Henry Adams on North Los Angeles street. The program began with the singing of "America" and the salute to the flag. Miss Frances Backs introduced the first subject for the morning's study, "The Preamble," and Miss Amy Wheeler followed with "The World Court." Mrs. Adams discussed "The Constitution," Mrs. Earl Smith "The Government" and Mrs. H. N. White "Political Parties." A round table discussion led by the president, Mrs. Nellie E. Terry, was one of the most interesting periods of the meeting. All Republican women interested in national affairs and in our form of government are invited to attend these meetings.
