Walnut Crop to Be Greatest in History Orange County Growers to Reap Rich Harvest This Year The biggest walnut crop in the history of the industry in this county will be harvested this year, according to J. E. Gowen, manager of the Santa Ana Walnut Growers' Association. Gowen predicted that the Santa Ana walnut house would handle more walnuts than ever before in its existence. Gowen declared that the California Walnut Growers' Association expects to be of greater service to Orange county walnut growers than ever before. He pointed out that some difficulty might arise in marketing the nuts, and declared that it behooves every walnut grower to join the association to protect his crop and insure its marketing. The association this year will care for all nuts after they are dried. Prices for the quality nuts which are shipped from the local association command excellent prices and the association has made arrangements to return the growers' money on the cull nuts. It is estimated that more than 3000 tons of walnuts will be cared for in the association plant this year. There are at present more than 855 members in the association, representing a total acreage of approximately 2500 acres. The average production is expected to be more than one ton per acre. Every walnut which leaves the Santa Ana association plant this year will be stamped with the Diamond brand. Gowen announced. The walnut crop is far ahead of its usual schedule at the present time, the walnut house manager reported. He declared that harvesting of the crop will start the last of August. Picking usually does not start until about September 10. The walnut plant is making arrangements to open about 10 days ahead of its usual schedule. The unusually early crop will cause the plant to open about The federal courts, and especially the supreme court of the United States, on the whole, have been favorable to the doctrine that the local communities have the constitutional power to control such matters in the interest of the entire community. Within the last year the United States supreme court three times has affirmed the constitutionality of zoning ordinances. In the most recent case, coming up from Roanoke, Va., the power of the local council not only to enact a zoning ordinance, and as a part of it to establish a set-back building line from the street, but also to reserve to itself the power to make variations in extraordinary cases, is clearly upheld. Thus, by the enactment of state legislatures, by the ordinance of city councils, and with the approval of state and federal courts, including the highest court, the supreme control over the use of city land that once was in the hands of the private owner, is now limited to the interest of the community as a whole. Zoning, and the consequent change in the legal powers of the private land owner to use his property as he pleased, is only 15 years old in this country. The revolution that has been worked by it has been radical and rapid, but has not attracted much general attention because during the same 15 years we have undergone the social revolution caused by the automobile, the financial revolution caused by the federal reserve legislation, the economic revolution caused by mass production, chain retailing and installment buying; and the mental revolution caused by the World War and its train of events. In so many revolutions we are apt not to notice an old revolution or two, no matter how important they are. Of course, the principle that the use of land by a private owner was subject to the superior control of the community was recognized before the era of the zoning ordinances. It was generally held that no owner could use his land in such manner as to injure others or injure the community. Usually this restriction was entirely negative in character, and even if the land were used so as to cause a nuisance, it must be the private owners of other private New Motor Drastik Enforcement Office to Strictly Motorists must read the enforcement order of the California which becomes effective cording to advises, the state division on ready to rigidly enforcing.

The walnut crop is far ahead of its usual schedule at the present time, the walnut house manager reported. He declared that harvesting of the crop will start the last of August. Pickling usually does not start until about September 10. The walnut plant is making arrangements to open about 10 days ahead of its usual schedule. The unusually early crop will cause the plant to open about September 15. Approximately 100 persons will be employed in the plant this year, which will mean a substantial increase in help, according to Gowen. More than 25 men will be employed in the plant in caring for the walnuts, and about 75 women will be employed in the various departments. Later in the season, when the cracking plant starts operations, more than 200 women will be employed by the association, it is reported. Quality and sizes of walnuts this year is excellent, according to Gowen. Heat has not damaged the crop, and breakage of trees is stopping. Breakage has been worse this year than ever before, according to reports from all sections of the county. SUPERVISORS' PROCEEDINGS The chairman was authorized to approve the bond on map tract No. 857, and map tract No. 857 was accepted as the official plotting of said tract, but did not accept Lots X.

Usually this restriction was entirely negative in character, and even if the land were used so as to cause a nuisance, it must be the private owners of other private property who complained of the nuisance, and not the community at large through its public officers. There were positive restrictions, also, as in many cities there were height limits beyond which buildings might not be erected, fire limit districts within which special construction was required, and cities withheld building permits under the authority of such limiting ordinances. In New York, for instance, 26 years ago, the new tenement house laws laid down certain rules of construction and said that unless certain things were done, cooking might not be allowed within the building. Under changed social conditions, hundreds of buildings were erected in violation of these laws, which now are being enforced again. While the right of cities to control the use of private property in the interest of community welfare had thus been asserted from early time, mainly in a negative manner by prohibiting certain practices, it was not until the era of zoning in the last 15 years that the cities have assumed the right positively to direct the method and manner of the development of private property. The overwhelming weight of the testimony is that this apparent interference has in fact helped rather than hurt the private owners of property. Where it has restricted one from doing what he has desired to do, it has protected hundreds from the deleterious effect of the damaging use of some property in the neighborhood.

Captain regular army instrumen for tha demo ZONING AND PROPERTY RIGHTS The absolute control by the private owner of real estate in cities is being abridged by the adoption of zoning ordinances. There is no doubt about that. In more than four hundred American cities the local legislative bodies have enacted, under grants of power from the state legislatures, zoning ordinances that limit and control the development of land within the city by dividing the city into zones and by prescribing that within those zones buildings may be put only to certain uses, may be built only to certain heights and may occupy only certain portions of the lot upon which they are to stand. The state courts have not been in entire agreement as to this novel form of city legislation that has grown up in the last twelve or fifteen years, and in some few states the zoning ordinances have been declared unconstitutional upon one ground or another; only to have the cities re-enact them upon some other legal basis. In most states the courts have upheld zoning from the beginning. Couples who try to rush into matrimony at the courthouse Friday, in haste or in secrecy or intoxicated, will have a shock coming to them, if they haven't been reading the newspapers. They will be asked to file a notice of intention to wed. Then, they will be told to come back in four days and get their license. That is, those coming in haste or in secret will be so instructed. Those coming intoxicated will be told to come back when they are sober. None of the three classes will come back. The hasty ones and the intoxicated ones will think better of it. Those coming in secret, meaning elopers, will be restrained by their parents, who will have meanwhile read the notice of intention. Such is the new "three-day" license law, which really means four days' delay, and such is the theoretical working of its provisions, in the view of local officials. The law goes into effect July 29 and will result in a "dead calm" of three full days, so far as the issuance of marriage licenses is concerned. On the fourth day, which will be next Monday August 1, the first licenses can be issued under the new law. Matrimonial prospects are pretty generally awake to the situation that will confront them, according to County Clerk J. M. Backs. Wedding plans are already being adjusted to meet the exigencies of the new law, he finds. During the last few days, he states, many couples obtaining marriage licenses have inquired whether the licenses obtained now would be good after the new law goes into effect. Couples living outside of the county have questioned Backs as to the location of the county line, indicating their intention of returning at a later date into this county to have the marriage ceremony performed. Licenses can be used only in the county where they are issued, the law provides. The belief entertained in some quarters that no marriages could take place in California during the three days following July 29 was without foundation. Marriage licenses issued prior to July 29 are good for one year, which includes the three days following July 29, County Clerk Backs states. July Fourth has come and gone, but there don't seem to be as many old-fashioned Fourth of July orators with long flowing hair as there used to be. New Motor Law Drastic Measure Enforcement Officers Instructed to Strictly Enforce Law Motorists must now be prepared for the enforcement of the new provisions of the California Motor Vehicle Act which becomes effective July 29. According to advises, all departments of the state division of motor vehicles are ready to rigidly enforce the new regulations. No motorists are to be allowed to exceed the new 40-mile speed limit on the open highway, according to instructions of Frank G. Snook, chief of the division, to more than 200 traffic officers under his jurisdiction. All applicants for new drivers' licenses must now take examinations, according to the provisions of the new law. The operator's card of any driver who has had a card for three years may now be cancelled by the division if it considers it desirable, and an examination of the driver as to his physical and mental fitness to drive may be required. Drivers who have lost their license and make application for renewal may also be subjected to an examination as the discretion of the division. The non-resident applicant who has never secured a license in California before may also be required to take an examination. Another vital regulation provides that any person convicted of reckless driving three times within a period of 12 months shall automatically lose his license, the law classifying him as an habitually reckless driver. A conviction of speeding is not counted against the motorist in this ruling. Motorists involved in accidents in which anyone is injured or killed are henceforth required to report them to police officials. Failure to do so is deemed a misdemeanor. The police in turn report to the state division, which is now required to keep a complete record of such accidents, their causes. California Leads In Road Building Will Spend $78,000,000 on Highways During the Year Progress in the surfacing of roads of the country last year amounted to 13,600 miles of the earth roads which are included in the state highway systems, according to a report of the United States department of agriculture received by the Automobile Club of Southern California. There were in all 19,492 miles of surfaced roads laid by state agencies during the year, but only 13,664 miles of this were constructed over former earth roads, while 5828 miles represented the rebuilding of old surfaces. New surfacing including reconstruction was placed over 265.4 miles of the total of 6582.1 miles in the California state highway system, bringing the total of existing surfaced mileage at the end of 1926 to 3537.9, according to the report of the department's bureau of public roads. While working out arrangements for financing future highway construction, California thus maintained constant development of its roads during the year. Now the additional gasoline tax and motor vehicle revenues will serve to place the Golden State well in the lead in highway development. With an estimate of $78,000,000 available for all highway expenditures in California during the coming year, this state is ahead of any of the 11 western states in funds provided for new roads. An increase of 18,205 miles was the total in the various highway systems of the United States during 1926, but of this increase 4541 miles represents merely the transfer of mileage from county to state jurisdiction, it is pointed out in the national report. MEASURING A RIVER The geological survey, department of the interior, receives many letters inquiring for some easy method of determining the approximate flow of streams or small rivers where regular river-measuring instruments are not available. The method described below is considered useful under such conditions. To ascertain the velocity of the stream, choose a place where the channel is straight for 100 or, if possible, 200 feet and where it has a nearly constant width and depth and smooth current. Lay off on the bank the center 50 or 100 feet of the straight reach of the stream, marking each end. Then allow small chips to float down the stream, noting the time required for these to traverse the distance laid off on the bank. The surface velocity in feet per second is obtained by dividing the distance in feet passed over by the chips by the time in seconds it takes them to travel this distance. The average result of several such tests, made at different positions from bank to bank, will give the mean or average surface velocity of the stream. This result multiplied by 0.8 gives very nearly the average velocity of the entire flow of the stream. This is the first step. To obtain the area of the cross section of the stream, stretch a tape from shore to shore and take the depth of five feet. The average of these depths the stream at short intervals—two or may be assumed as the average depth of the stream at this point. This average in feet multiplied by the total width in feet will give the area of the cross section of the stream in square feet. The volume of the discharge of the stream is now found by multiplying this cross section figure by the average velocity, feet per second, as obtained by the chip measurements, the result being the discharge in second-feet, or, in Another vital regulation provides that any person convicted of reckless driving three times within a period of 12 months shall automatically lose his license, the law classifying him as an habitually reckless driver. A conviction of speeding is not counted against the motorist in this ruling. Motorists involved in accidents in which anyone is injured or killed are henceforth required to report them to police officials. Failure to do so is deemed a misdemeanor. The police in turn report to the state division, which is now required to keep a complete record of such accidents, their causes and location. The solen car evil is remedied in part through the new ruling that garages and parking stations must keep a record of cars stored longer than 12 hours and report to the police when a car has been stored longer than 30 days, if the name and address of owner is unknown. Another provision requires dealers to give notice to the division of the sale of used cars. Heretofore this was only required of new cars. Muffler cut-outs must be eliminated from all cars under the act by January 1, 1929, states the report. Sham Battle Staged For Big County Fair Fair Committee Orders 25,000 Rounds of Ammunition Twenty-five thousand rounds of live ammunition and a variety of war implements have been ordered for a sham battle spectacle, to be staged at the Orange county fair grounds during the fair, exposition, September 5 to 10, inclusive. Captain Donald I. Winans, commander of Company F, 160th infantry, C N G., said. Plans for the war demonstration on the grounds midway between Santa Ana and Anaheim have virtually been completed. Captain Winans said, and orders have just been placed for a quantity of flare shells, artillery and French mortar bombs. Members of Company F will be in the pink of condition for the sham battle, following two weeks' intensive drilling at the Del Monte summer training quarters, be said. Company F will leave August 13 for the summer encampment, where 5000 men of the California national guard will be stationed for a fortnight. The demonstration has been planned to show the destructive horror of war, officials of the fair said. The engagement, in which nearly 300 men will participate, will take place between a Los Angeles detachment and the Orange county guard unit. Howitzer, trench mortars, two 37 mm guns, and machine guns that fire 300 rounds a minute compose part of the equipment designed to make the battle real. Captain Ralph G. Nemo, regular army instructor, will train the men for the demonstration.
