FARM BUREAU NOTES Walnut Growers Plan Annual Outing The walnut growers of Southern California will hold their annual field day and tour, under auspices of the Southern Counties Farm Bureau Walnut Growers' Association, in Santa Barbara county, on Saturday, June 26. According to J. A. Smiley, chairman of the walnut growers' department in Orange county, preparations for the coming event indicate the largest summer gathering of growers in history. Many local growers report plans for the trip, a number indicating their desire to make it the occasion of a week-end outing in the Santa Barbara country. It is announced by James G. Williams of Goleta, general chairman, that the program will start at 10 a.m. and close at 3:30 p.m., the location selected being Tucker's Grove, a favorite picnic spot a short distance below Goleta. Subjects vital to the walnut industry will be discussed by experts in growing and marketing, and in the afternoon a tour to neighboring groves is scheduled, where irrigation and moisture regulation will be demonstrated by W. B. Hooper of the agricultural extension service. Picnic lunch will be in order during the noon hour, each party to bring its own lunch, cups and spoons. Coffee, sugar, cream and ice cream will be furnished by the Santa Barbara County Farm Bureau and local Walnut Growers' Association. The following program has been arranged: 10:00 a.m. "Quick Harvesting Methods." R. G. La Rue, Citrus Experiment Station, University of California. 11:15 a.m. "The Walnut Situation," Carlyle Thorpe, manager Encampment for Agricultural Club RAYMOND ELLIS, Asst. Farm Advisor The boys of Orange county who are doing agricultural club work this year have a treat in store for them in the very near future. Other counties are taking their boys to the mountains or to the beaches for two or three days' outings. As a result of the publicity given to these camps, many of the local members have been inquiring about a camp for Orange county. This set local leaders and extension service men to thinking, and finally, in co-operation with the Orange county Y. M. C. A., a feasible plan was formulated. The encampment will be held August 17 to 21, inclusive, at Camp Osceola, which belongs to the Y. M. C. A. and is located on the headwaters of the Santa Ana river in the San Bernardino mountain. This is a beautiful site, and everything is there to make a successful outing. All the equipment, including swimming pool, playgrounds, sleeping quarters, lodge and kitchen, will be available. Meals will be served by the same people who serve the Y. M. C. A. campers. All of this will be furnished the agricultural club boys for $1 per day, or $4 for the entire camp. The boys will be under the supervision of seven or eight adult leaders. Every hour of the day will be programmed with good healthy diversion, so that time will not drag. There will be swimming, hikes, baseball and horseshoe games, relay races and each day a short talk on some phase of agriculture which the boys are interested in. Then to elimax each day, will be a camp fire with songs, stories and stunts. In the very future all boy members will be sent a letter to determine their interest in this camp. It will be impossible to include girls this year, as no arrangements can be made at this more than 100,000 mark was week by member-pany organization designated "R.H. holder Week," in executive vice-principal of the placed July, 1926, 100,000 shareholder.

Growers to Discuss Root Stock Problem Orange county citrus growers will be particularly interested in the scientific discussion on citrus root stocks that will be presented by Dr. H. J. Webber, director of the citrus department station, and Dr. F. F. Halma, plant physiologist of the citrus experiment station, at the Fifth Annual Growers' Institute, to be held this year at Santa Paula, on July 9. Word comes from the farm advisor's office that the program outlined this year will be one of the most important and interesting that has been presented for some time. C. V. Newman, manager of the San Joaquin Fruit Company, Tustin, and a member of the farm bureau citrus growers' department, has been assigned an important place on the program. Mr. Newman has made an investigation of citrus root stocks in Orange county and other parts of Southern California from a practical grower's standpoint and will give the growers the benefit of his observations during the institute. There is some question among the investigators and growers at the present time as to whether the sour orange stock, which is the most common stock in use now, is giving the best results. It appears that many plantings on the sweet orange stock are producing more vigorous trees and greater production than trees budded to sour stock under similar favorable soil conditions. Some years ago the gum disease problem caused a general turn to the use of sour orange stock because of its greater resistance to the gum disease. It has been the experience of quite a number of growers that with the proper handling of irrigation waters, the sweet stock can be used to advantage, particularly on the sandy loam and light soils. The whole question of root stocks will be reviewed at the above meeting. The boys will be under the supervision of seven or eight adult leaders. Every hour of the day will be programmed with good healthy diversion, so that time will not drag. There will be swimming, hikes, baseball and horseshoe games, relay races and each day a short talk on some phase of agriculture which the boys are interested in. Then to climax each day, will be a camp fire with songs, stories and stunts. In the very future all boy members will be sent a letter to determine their interest in this camp. It will be impossible to include girls this year, as no arrangements can be made at this time. Next year an attempt will be made to take care of girl members at a special camp. Poultrymen's Tour To Contest Pens Annually the poultry department of the farm bureau organizes a trip to Pomona to inspect the Southern California egg-laying contest pens at Pomona and obtain latest information on experimental work conducted there. The trip this year is dated for July 1. The contest pens will be visited first then at 9:45 adjourning to the pavilion at Ganesha park. Speakers on the program include C. C. Keeney, president of the Pacific Egg Producers; Prof. H. E. Erdman, head of the division of rural institutions of the College of Agriculture; Prof. J. E. Dougherty and Dr. D. E. Davis of the veterinary division of the University of California. W.C. Childers, chairman of the poultry department, has asked that all poultrymen of the county endeavor to make this trip, as information obtained here will be very helpful in better conducting their business. According to present plans, poultry men in Santa Ana and south will meet on Sycamore street above Church street, headed north, ready to leave by 9 o'clock. Going in a caravan, poultry men from other sections of the county will fall in line as the caravan reaches them. Control Methods To Be Reviewed The farm bureau codling moth control committee, representing the principal walnut growing sections, of Orange county, will investigate the results of different control measures used by the growers this year in combating the walnut worm pest, on Friday, June 25. The committee will visit typical walnut groves, accompanied by inspectors from the horticultural commissioner's office. Control work as a result of spraying will be compared with dusting jobs, and ready mixed dusts will be compared with orchard mixed dusts. Of course, the final check on the control measures will not be made until the nuts are delivered to the packing house and graded this fall. The committee, however, was appointed by a mass meeting of walnut growers last fall to investigate every phase of control work, and therefore expects to It appears that many plantings on the sweet orange stock are producing more vigorous trees and greater production than trees budded to sour stock under similar favorable soil conditions. Some years ago the gum disease problem caused a general turn to the use of sour orange stock because of its greater resistance to the gum disease.

The citrus growers' department of the Orange County Farm Bureau is looking forward to a large delegation of citrus growers from Orange county. Viva Jane Wash Dress Shop 107 S.

L. Delmilng. It is believed that this gives President John B. Miller's company the largest number of stockholders of any single electric light and power company in the world. Ivan McWhinney, a lad of 8 years, residing at 36 Eighth street, Hermosa Beach, became the one hundred thousandth stockholder, W. L. Frost, general commercial manager, had the distinction of making the sale to the one hundred thousandth Edison partner. Mr. Frost conducted young McWhinney to the office of R. H. Ballard, and the vice-president and general manager of the company handed the lad his stock certificate and congratulated him upon becoming a member of the great Edison family. The quota of approximately 5200 stockholders necessary to score the 100,000 mark was completed during the week by members of the Edison company organization, during what they designated "R. H. Ballard 100,000 Stockholder Week." In compliance to the executive vice-president and general manager of the company, who had placed July, 1926, as about the time the 100,000 shareholders would be obtained. The Southern California Edison Company now has two and one-half times more stockholders than the average of the electric public utility corporations in the United States in proportion to the population served, based on the last reports of the National Electric Light Association. The company now has one stockholder to every five families in the community of two and a quarter. Oil Worker Killed Near Brea Sunday Ray Steel, 40, of Downey, was fatally injured when he became entangled in the cathead of the Nenno No. 1 well of the Birch-Royer Oil Company. Steel was rushed to the Fullerton general hospital, but died a few hours after the accident from shock. It is presumed that Steel got too close to the rope on the cathead and that a portion of his clothing became caught. Steel was whirled around on the big wheel at least three times before the startled employees could shut off the machinery. One leg was torn off below the knee and the right arm was broken. The injured man was given emergency treatment by fellow workers and then rushed to the hospital. Steel is survived by his widow. An inquest was scheduled to be held this afternoon at the McAuley & Suters parlor in Fullerton. RUBBER PRICE TO STAY HIGH This year's crop of rubber in the British holdings is estimated at upwards of 313,150 tons, all of which will be available for export following the decision to allow 100 per cent production under the restriction of production laws. This crop, it is estimated, will sell for more than $600,000,000 gold, and the net profit will be more than $400,000,000. Practically all this rubber will be shipped to the United States. Much of it already has been contracted for an average price of around 75 cents a pound. The cost of production averages about 20 cents a pound. The British intend to insure good profits in the future as well. They control two-thirds of the rubber market. "America need not expect cheap rubber, and consequent cheap tires again as long as we can prevent it," says one of their leading representatives in the United States. County Is Second in Lima Bean Acreage Early Shipments Being Booked At Good Prices R. L. Churchill, manager of the California Lima Bean Growers' Association, reports that a tabulation of the preliminary checking of acreage just completed by the association, shows the total California plantings this season to regular limas to be about 95,000 acres. The counties having the largest acreage are Ventura county with more than 50,000 acres, and Orange county, with about 23,000 acres. The King City district has the smallest, with barely 550 acres, and the Los Angeles county coast district, around 1200 acres. Baby limas are scattered over a much larger area than regulars and total about 35,000 acres. Of this total, San Fernando valley stands first, with about 13,000 acres, while the next largest, the Lompoc and Modesto districts, will together, total more than 14,000 acres. Churchill declares that the stands of plants secured are generally good and that growers report fine growth and excellent soil moisture. It is too early to forecast the crop production with any accuracy, since the weather prevailing during July and August largely will determine yields. The question of prices which will obtain upon new crop limas and baby limas naturally is closely related to total production. However, various shippers already have booked October shipment orders for new crop limas at $7.50 and baby limas at $7.25 f. o. b., cars, and it is possible that September shipment may command a little higher price if old crop stocks clean up nicely prior to harvest. Should the growing crops develop normally, prices in the neighborhood of those above mentioned may prove to be about right as a basis for getting the first heavy shipments under way. If hot weather or post materially shorten the crop...
