Orange County Leads in Walnuts Shipped More Than 12,000 Tons Last Year The latest report issued by the California Walnut Growers' association giving final total production figures for 1927 places Orange county in the lead among the walnut producing counties of California. The total production for the state last year was 41,750 tons, 99 per cent of this coming from the Southern California counties, the rest from north of the Tehachapi. The walnut counties are listed here in order of their 1927 production tonnage: Orange County ... 12,398 tons Ventura County ... 9,974 tons Santa Barbara ... 2,903 tons Contra Costa ... 1,583 tons Santa Clara ... 1,376 tons San Bernardino ... 1,309 tons Riverside ... 824 tons San Joaquin ... 505 tons Tulare ... 325 tons San Luis Obispo ... 160 tons Sutter ... 52 tons Solano ... 37tons Sonoma ... 32tons Napa ... 29tons Stanislaus ... 20tons The above tonnage does not include culls, according to the association report. The Santa Ana district shipped more walnuts than any other section last year; Saticoy was second, and Puente third. Following are the shipments from the various points in Orange county: Santa Ana ... 5,977 tons Anaheim ... 1,297 tons Fullerton ... 1,208 tons Orange ... 1,097 tons Francis ... 1,067 tons Garden Grove ... 617 tons Capistrano ... 601 tons The walnut has found very favorable soil and climatic conditions in Orange other phases of orchard and tree management. We now know the advantages of greater spacing in the walnut grove. Sixty-foot planting is better than 30, 40 or even 50 feet, experience has shown. Walnut trees require plenty of light for maximum production. Budded varieties are almost universally planted in the later orchards instead of seedlings, because of their uniform size and quality of nuts. The Southern California black walnut has been totally discarded by nurserymen and propagators because of its unusual susceptibility to crown rot, a disease associated with unaffavorable soil moisture conditions. The Northern California black walnut is now most generally used to bud or graft on. It is more hardy and resistant to root diseases and particularly to Oak Root fungus (Armillarea melica). Where this fungus, also known as toad stool fungus, is present in the soil, the Northern Black root only should be planted. The English or white root is very susceptible to Oak Root fungus. It should not be planted in areas that are infested or subject to spread of the fungus. A better understanding of the moisture needs of the commercial walnut orchard has been secured through the exhaustive tests and investigations of the experiment section under the direction of Dr. L. D. Batchelor. No other detail of soil management in the walnut grove is so closely tied up with quality of fruit as is that of timely irrigation practice. In earlier days winter irrigation was little practiced. Growers thought that the winter rainfall was sufficient to meet the needs of the tree. Winter dieback in the tops of the trees was a common occurrence. This "disease" was in time associated with dry roots. That is to say, it was learned that the winter precipitation was not adequate to effect deep penetration and, as a consequence, often half or more of the root zone was short of moisture and the normal circulating processes within the tree were seriously hampered. The result was the stunting of spring growth, the absence of foliation in the upper June or first of July. A tant period is the fillin the kernel is building within the nut. The and August represent which one good sample. Lighter soils soils will require Twenty-four to thirty addition to rainfall. In total amount of irrigate by large walnut trees to meet the requirements above.

The months of July and August represent this period, during which one good irrigation on the average deep loam soils is generally ample. Lighter soils and shallower soils will require two applications. Twenty-four to thirty acre inches, in addition to rainfall, is the average total amount of irrigation water used by large walnut trees during the year to meet the requirements outlined above. Comfort Aids Today's Sales "If all legs were of uniform length it all would have been simple enough to build automobiles that would be comfortable for everybody. But, inasmuch as nature does not standardize in human proportions, it has remained for the motor car engineer to correct this disparity. "The new Silver Anniversary Buick models are so constructed that all may drive them with the same ease because of the adjustable front seat," said George F. Howard, Northern Orange county dealer. "This is one of the many features which have been introduced to bring uniform driving comfort. Last year, it will be recalled. Buick introduced the adjustable steering wheel. Now in conjunction with the movable front seat, which may be set backward or forward with a simple twist of a handle, the driving position is quickly adaptable to all sizes." "In my contact with owners of the New Buicks there is enthusiastic praise for the adjustable front seat. Several owners, who took long trips over the last holiday say that they never realized before what a comfort, factor the new feature was until they had been on the road several hours and then found themselves free from the cramp and fatigue which come when one has to remain in one fixed position so long." Avocado Culture Bulletin Revised "Avocado Culture in California," published as Bulletin 365 in 1924, has been brought up to date and republished by the College of Agriculture of the University of California. The bulletin is in two parts, the first by Knowles Ryerson on the history, culture, varieties and marketing of avocados, and the second by Dr. M. E. Jaffa and Harold Goss on the composition and food value of the fruit. "The rapid growth of the avocado industry has been one of the notable developments in California horticulture during the past fifteen years," says Professor Hodgeson, in republishing the bulletin. "This period has witnessed a transition in the use of the avocado from that of a dooryard curiosity to a fruit supporting a well established commercial industry embracing approximately 4000 acres. The first publication on the avocado issued by the College of Agriculture appeared in 1915 in response to the need expressed at that time. The information then available was necessarily limited; the industry has made rapid strides since its publication; methods and practices have changed; and much new information has been developed. In order to meet the rapidly growing demand for the best information available, Bulletin 365 was prepared and issued in 1923. This publication has now run through two issues and in order to bring it up to date has been completely revised in this printing. The material referring to methods, practices and varieties must be considered in relation to a young, rapidly-growing industry, which has been little investigated, hence the information furnished will be subject to further modification as progress is made." Copies of this bulletin may be secured from the Farm Advisor's office at Santa Ana, according to H. E. Wahlberg, Farm Advisor. TOURISTS IN CALIFORNIA California continue to hold high favor with tourists. This summer brought large numbers of tourists—many came by railroad while the special reduced rates were in effect. Many came by automobile. Others by steamship and airplane. Those who come in summer recognize the fact which is becoming well known throughout the country—that California summers are generally mild and delightful. In truth, summer is one of the most desirable of the seasons for visiting California. On account of the Presidential election, the tide of tourist travel into California will be light, doubtless, until after November 6. Thereafter a large influx of visitors may be expected for the whole or part of the winter season. The last two decades have witnessed changed conditions here as to tourists. A quarter of a century ago the number coming here was much smaller than the number coming today. Then it was customary for tourists to come to a few localities and spend practically the whole of their sojourn in this state at these places. In the course of years, the volume of tourist travel to California increased steadily. Formerly, tourist travel was restricted almost wholly to the winter season. But latterly there has been heavy tourist travel in summer—much of it com- front seat, which may be set backward or forward with a simple twist of a handle, the driving position is quickly adaptable to all sizes. "In my contact with owners of the New Buick there is enthusiastic praise for the adjustable front seat. Several owners, who took long trips over the last holiday say that they never realized before what a comfort factor the new feature was until they had been on the road several hours and then found themselves free from the cramp and fatigue which come when one has to remain in one fixed position so long. "We were very happy to find that what we already knew. With the new power in the valve-in-head motors these Silver Anniversary Buicks, one may not only go where they choose regardless of the owners, putting their new cars to the hardest sort of tests, found grade or distance, but may get there quickly and with the greatest ease and comfort. "Buick is doing all that is humanly and mechanically possible to meet the sales demand for the new models and is reaching the largest daily output in its twenty-five years of activities. We are tickled to hear this, for we will get our share. And we need them." DON'T "DICKER" FOR A USED CAR "Horse-trading" is not an uncommon practice in used car selling.

This has brought an evolutionary change, in that tourists, instead of grouping at a few places and remaining there for a whole season, move about over the state and over the Pacific West, more than formerly, because of improved highways and more general use of automobiles. But because the streams of tourist travel are virtually unending throughout the seasons, each tourist center gets its quota of the visitors—an even greater number than in the former days when there was not the migrating from place to place that prevails so generally today. Taking Vacation W. M. Corp, Assistant Farm Advisor, leaves the last of this week for a three-weeks' trip, traveling in the Northern part of this state and Southern Oregon. On the way prominent dairies and poultry ranches are to be visited with the view of observing practices in general use. Mr. Cory will spend some time at the old home place in Siskiyou county, now managed by his younger brother, Crater Lake in Southern Oregon is on the itinerary and the return trip is to be made by the Redwood Highway down the coast.
