NILSSON In "Too Much Money" BIG GIFT NIGHT WEDNESDAY FARM BUREAU NOTES FARM BUREAU NOTES Tremendous Damage Caused by Tree Rots By H. E. WAHLBERG, County Farm Advisor Damage to walnut trees estimated in six figures is the condition facing the walnut industry of Orange county, and early steps should be taken by the average walnut grower to avoid as much of the tree rot condition as possible by paying closer attention to pruning methods. Careless pruning is one of the chief causes of heart rot, which is commonly found in walnut trees of Orange county. Stubs that are left from pruning cuts decompose and gradually fungi, causing the deterioration to follow the tissues of the branch into the structure of the main limbs and trunk of the tree, finally causing the too common cavity. If the cavity increases in size, moisture accumulates and helps to promote a fungus growth, causing decay. Pruning experiments over a number of years show that cuts made close to the limb or trunk, close to the line of sap flow, will heal over more readily and are less subject to the attack of decay fungi. In making large cuts, it is desirable to disinfect the cut just before it is painted with a weather-proof material. It is desirable to let the wound dry out before applying the paint. A good asphaltum paint has been found quite satisfactory. Several pruning compounds on the market have given good results. Material that will exclude moisture and leave a smooth surface that will not later crack is to be preferred. The job of taking care of old cavities is a stupendous one in some orchards and probably, from an economical standpoint, is not advisable. In trees, however, where the number of cavities are few, they may be treated in such a way as to materially reduce the amount of heart rot that may later develop if left untreated. The first thing to provide in treatment of cavities is proper drainage, and that can be done either by cutting a V-shaped trough in the bottom of the cavity, with the trough slanting downwards so as to provide free drainage of any moisture that would otherwise accumulate. The cavity should be thoroughly scraped and cleaned of rotted wood and, after drying out, should be disinfected and painted with a good waterproof material. Sometimes it has been found more desirable to bore a hole into the bottom of the cavity cup from the outer surface of the bark, thus providing good drainage. In this case, however, it may be necessary to insert a short iron pipe so as to keep the drainage open, otherwise the bark rolled over will soon cover the drilled outlet. In most small wounds or cavities it is not necessary or advisable to fill with concrete or other material. Where large cavities are to be treated, it is sometimes more economical to hire a tree specialist who understands proper mixtures and the proper installation of those mixtures. As the old adage goes, "A step in time saves nine." This certainly holds true with tree rot control. Wise pruning will materially reduce tree rots. Keen Competition of Reds and Leghorns Interest continues even keener with the passing of each month, bringing the close of the egg laying contest at Pomona that much nearer. Of more than passing interest is the remarkable showing made by A. H. Heineman's entry of Rhode Island Reds, which were sixth high entry, with a total of 205 eggs for the month. The California White Leghorn Breeding Farm was high with a total of 220 eggs from 10 pullets. Will Hatch Poultry Ranch had one hen in its entry tie for first place in production for the month with 26 eggs to her credit. Since there are but 28 days in February, this hen did not even take time off for Sundays. Two hens are tied for highest individual production since the contest started, November 1, with 100 eggs each to their credit. One is owned by Collins Trapnest Farm, and the other by Moses L. Frick.

Emergency Driver Don't Need License It will no longer be necessary for farm help who are occasionally sent to town for a load with the ranch truck to secure a chauffeur's license before leaving the ranch, according to a decision rendered by the district attorney's office of Los Angeles county in a recent traffic case. This decision was reached upon investigation of the various angles of the situation, following the arrest of an Orange county employee who had been sent from the ranch to Los Angeles with a truck and trailer load of feed. The man was stopped because of the trailer swinging and the traffic officer, learning that he was a ranch employee instead of a chauffeur, arrested him on the charge of reckless driving and operating a commercial vehicle without a chauffeur's license. The ranch operator took up the case on behalf of the employe, with the result as stated above. It is stated that the above decision does not apply to a man regularly employed to drive the ranch truck, but to the emergency driver. The charge of reckless driving was lodged against the man because of the swinging trailer, which was in opposition to a ruling of Los Angeles county. As the offense is not mentioned in the state law, the enforcement of this regulation has been placed under the head of reckless driving, but under protest the district attorney admits that this charge will not hold. When damage is done by a swinging trailer, the operator is responsible and proper procedure against him would come under the head of a court or civil suit for damages, it is maintained. It is strongly recommended that chain hitch be used on the trailer to prevent swaying and possible damage which might result. Legion Notes California is expected to be chosen as the location for the "billet" for orphans of veterans of the World war from the Pacific coast states which is to be founded by the national officers of the American Legion as a part of their program to be carried on with the funds raised recently under the $5,000,000 endowment drive for disabled veterans and the orphans of ex-service men. As a result of information received by State Commander Allen B. Bixby of Pasadena, local headquarters of the Legion in California, acting with the child welfare committee of the ex-service men's organization has called upon the three hundred posts of the Legion in the state to survey conditions in their respective localities relative to the need for welfare work among the World war veterans. Department Commander Bixby, Mrs. Anne Chapline, president of the California women's auxiliary to the American Legion, and Dr. John Slavich of Oakland, chairman of the child welfare committee of the Legion, have recently held a conference and outlined plans for the work to be done by the various posts. "Billets" or homes for the World war orphans have already been established in eastern states, but California is expected to be the first of the states of the West to be selected by the American Legion officials for a location. California members of the American Legion will travel on the French liner De Grasse when the 1927 national convention of the World war veterans' organization is held in Paris, according to word received here. United States Attorney George J. Hatfield, western representative on the "On-to-Paris, France," travel committee, which is arranging the pilgrimage abroad next year, declares that the present demand for places on the California delegation to the convention indicate that a record number will go to France from this state. More than twenty ships have been chartered by the national officials of the Legion to handle the convention delegates and their friends. State officials of the California department of the American Legion have completed their plans for the reception and entertainment of National Commander James R. McQuigg of the organization and National Adjutant James F. Burton, when the two arrive in this state next week. State Commander Allen B. Bixby, James K. Flak, statio adjutant; United States Attorney George J. Hatfield, national executive committeeman of the Legion, and National Chaplain Rev. William E. Patrick of Bakersfield are to tour the state with the national officers, who will visit as many of the posts of the Legion as their time permits. The schedule of National Commander McQuigg includes visits to Dunsmuir, Sunday, April 4; Sacramento, Monday, April 5; Oakland, Monday, April 5; San Francisco, Tuesday, April 6; Fresno, Wednesday, April 7; Bakersfield, Wednesday, April 9; San Francisco departure.

April 10th—Western Auto Supply Cultivation of The Sugar Beet By RAYMOND ELLIS, Assistant Farm Advisor At a meeting of sugar beet growers, held on the Bixby-Hellman ranch, west of Westminster, on March 23, J. B. Brown, extension specialist in irrigation, University of California, brought out some points on irrigation and cultivation which might be of interest to growers. Proper regulation of soil moisture is of the greatest importance. Runs should not be so long as to cause the excessive use of water in some parts of the field. For instance, if it takes a considerable length of time for a stream of water to complete its run through the field, the upper ends of the rows are bound to be wet to a greater depth than is necessary for the proper growth of the beets. It is necessary that there be enough moisture in the soil at planting time to germinate the seed and bring the plant through the thinning period. Then, in order to get a maximum crop, the entire root zone should be kept wet until about six weeks before harvest time. It was brought out at the meeting that cultivation is likewise a very important operation, especially during the early stages of plant development. Cultivation first destroys weeds, which is of great importance in water conservation; it helps to aerate the soil and allows for the proper growth and expansion of the beet. There are generally three or more cultivations, all of them while the plants are young, and being stopped when the beets become so large that they prohibit horses and implements from passing down the row. Deep cultivation also allows for the even expansion of the beet and easier plowing out at harvest time. Veterinary Will Address Dairymen Announcement was made today by W. M.

Contracts for the construction of an auditorium with a seating capacity of more than one thousand which will house the August state convention of the California American Legion have been let at Susanville, Lassen county, the community which is to hold the war veterans' conclave. Ground has already been broken for the auditorium and the Legion men and women of the mountain county are making extensive preparations for the entertainment of the veterans from all parts of the state. A new hotel is being rushed to completion by the people of Susanville so that there will be ample room to care for the Legionnaires who come to the convention. American Legion officers from all parts of the state are to participate in the dedication of the new United States Veterans' Bureau hospital at San Fernando, Sunday, March 7. State Commander Allen B. Bixby of Pasadena and James K. Fisk, state adjutant of the legion, will head the list of legion speakers. The hospital will be able to accommodate 300 patients when the new buildings are dedicated. Establishment of a "billet" in this state by the American Legion to care for the orphans of California World war veterans may be one of the results of the visit here this week of John W. Gorley, national director of the child welfare division of the legion, who came from the east to confer with Dr. John F. Slavich, state chairman of the welfare committee of the ex-service men's organization. The orphans "billets" are being established by the American Legion throughout the United States for the care of the orphans of the World war veterans as a part of the work to be carried on under the program to be financed by the $5,000,000 American Legion endowment fund. "California's contribution of more than $400,000 to the $5,000,000 endowment fund for the care of disabled World war veterans and orphans of veterans entitled this state to recognition, and we hope to establish a billet in the state," Director Gorley said. "Provide for a universal draft of capital and labor as well as men in time of war and there will never be another war." State Commander Allen B., Bixby of the American Legion declares in an appeal for support of the Legion's legislation in Congress in favor of universal conscription. "Nothing in the world can do so much for peace as can this measure," Commander Bixby says. The universal draft is the most comprehensive and sincere peace measure of all time. Out of our greatest sacrifice we have taken our greatest lesson. "We believe this measure to be the best step to insure peace. This is the most patriotic bill ever before Congress." 10th—Last Day of Auto Supply Company’s Anniversary SALE! ing of Our First Store on the Pacific Coast ists to take add by “Western Sale.
