400 WALNUT MEN ATTEND INSTITUTE Fully 400 representative walnut growers of Orange, Santa Barbara, Ventura, Los Angeles, San Bernardino and Riverside-cos, were on hand at the Santa Ana high school auditorium this morning when Pres. W. M. Belding of the Orange-co Farm Bureau called the annual walnut growers institute to attention. The morning session which attracted some of the most prominent growers from the six counties was devoted to addresses outlining the purpose and program of the walnut growers department, reports on walnut investigational work, cause and treatment of black sap and other questions vitally affecting the industry. Adjournment was taken at noon when lunch was served in the high school cafeteria and the all-day session was resumed at 1:30 p.m. The first speaker was Robt. W. Hogdson, of Los Angeles, who explained in detail the organization and purpose of the walnut growers department. The next speaker was J. T. Barrett, director of the citrus experimental station, who gave a detailed account of the progress on walnut investigational work. H. S. Fawcett, also of the citrus experiment station, delivered an address on the cause and treatment of walnut black sap. W. S. Rosecrans, president of the Los Angeles-co farm bureau, also spoke. His subject was, "Is the American Farmer Awake?" At the conclusion of the address by each speaker, questions were asked by those attending the institute and were answered by each speaker. Music was furnished by the Santa Ana H. S. instrumental trio. IS SMALLEST WATCH The world's smallest repeating watch, a third of an inch in diameter and mounted as a ring, has been given to an English city for its museum. LEMON ASSOCIATION INCREASES CAPITAL As a contribution to a fund necessary to the establishment of an insectary in Orange-co, members of the Central Lemon Growers' Ass'n met in the packing house at Villa Park, voted unanimously to retain one-quarter of a cent a pound to accrue to the insectary fund, provided that other citrus packing associations in the county make similar provisions. C. E. Utt of Tustin presented a resume of plans to date for the establishment of an insectary in this county. The proposal to increase the capital stock of the association from $50.,000 to $250,000 was given consideration, the matter going over for decision until 2:30 p.m., Jan. 27, when definite action will be taken. Another proposed change in the by-laws concerned the establishment of a revolving fund. Board of directors consisting of J. A. Mang, E. Bula, W. M. Pepplewell, L. O. Whitell and G. Williamson was retained. Reports submitted showed that 334,264 field boxes of lemons were picked in 1921, and that 172,212 boxes were packed and sold, the average price at the trees for the year being $2.29 a hundred pounds against $1.1542 for the preceding year. The report showed that packing costs for 1921 were 41 cents a box, against .4898 in 1920. Production in 1921 exceeded that for 1916 by 300 per cent, the report stated. BIG DELEGATION TO SEEK CONVENTION With interest increasing in the proposal of the Santa Ana Realty board to bring the state convention of the California Real Estate association to Santa Ana in 1923, the probable delegation to the annual convention in San Francisco the latter part of next week is increasing in number daily. Dealers in different parts of the county, who did not anticipate attending, are said to be making arrangements to be present to boost for Santa Ana as the convention city for next year. Santa Ana is being backed by all So. Calif., boards except that in Pasadena, according to J. C. Wallace, sec- IS SMALLEST WATCH The world's smallest repeating watch, a third of an inch in diameter and mounted as a ring, has been given to an English city for its museum.

"I asked Mr. Sam Jernigan, marshall of Santa Ana," said A. S. Ralph, manager of the Auto Club of Orange-co., what, in his opinion was the cause of the most accidents within Santa Ana. He did not hesitate a second in stating that there were more accidents caused by neglect of traffic rules and regulations than anything else. "People will take chances," said Marshall Jernigan. "It is not that they do not know the regulations. It is not because they don't know the things they should do and the things they should not. It is simply pure neglect. Chance taking is the best name for it." "How many motor cars give the right of way to the right hand car? Not many. How many proceed at the proper speed at dangerous intersections? Fewer still." "The best way to reduce accidents is for every motor car owner to constitute himself or herself a committee one for the enforcement of the Motor Vehicle Act, and be sure that they enforce it themselves." Officials of the Auto Club stated that they would be only too glad to enlighten any one on any portion of the motor vehicle act that they were in doubt about. DREDGING COMPANY HELD TO CONTRACT Permission to change the contract between the Los Angeles Dredging company and the Orange-co harbor commission so that the former could submit 200-foot length of dredging work instead of 500-foot length as required by contract, was denied today at a meeting of the members of the harbor commission held in Newport Beach. George Craig, John F. Craig, Jr., and C. H. Windham, representing the dredging company, appeared before the board and stated that in completing 500-foot length of dredging silt was bound to be in evidence before the entire length of the proposed channel had been traversed.

High School News Senior ditch day was marred by one little incident yesterday on the annual hike to the mountains. Irving Trimball's Ford touring car was the principal. The car was parked along the right side of the grade on the way to Camp Baldy with only a small rock behind a rear wheel. An unusually strong current of wind came along and started the car rolling down the grade. About 12 feet lower a fence was stretched across and this proved to be a back stop, the only thing that kept the Ford from destruction. A truck was hired to pull the car back on the road and to continue onward to the Camp. The rear of the car was indented considerably. Fortunately no one was in the car and the return home was made without any further accident. CONTINUE HEARING OF STERN'S APPEAL After waiting in vain for the appearance of Attorney M. G.

While beet soil is poor, and contains much alkali, it was stated that potatoes, beans, grain and alfalfa can be grown, allowing the soil to rest for a year or two and regain its beet-growing properties. The statement was made that of all the beet growing sections in the United States, the yield per acre in California is lowest.
