CITRUS EXPERT KIWANIS SPEAKER Kiwanians and their guests today received a quantity of first hand, first class information on the "Citrus Industry," at their weekly luncheon in the Elks clubhouse, from C. W. McBellech, vet-Seran citrus fruit grower of Placentia. Misses Lillian Degryse and Ruth Chamberlain sold a considerable number of tickets to the play "Phoebe" to be given at the high school auditorium soon by the Business and Professional Women's club. Messrs. Ferrin and Young of the La Habra Kiwanis club spoke in behalf of "On to Fresno" and the next Kiwanian convention. La Habra will send some 36 detergates. The badge to be used was displayed. It shows a walnut with the legend "A Nut from Orange County." The speaker of the day was introduced by Charles Eygabroad. In an exhaustive way he prescribed in detail what a grower should do. The soil, he said, should be higher than that surrounding the grove, because if lower the trees suffered more quickly from cold Budded stock only should be used, stock of at least four years' test. Too much irrigation stunts groves. Irrigating too soon and in a way such that the water is not evenly distributed has the same result. Three to four ncore inches should be used and once a year the entire grove should be absolutely flooded, because only so is food carried down to the roots of the trees. Irrigations in the spring should be light. The water should be kept on for say eight hours, so that every part of the grove can be soaked. Plowing can be done at any time when the soil is uniformly moist. It is best to plow in one direction and harrow in the other. Funigating is a necessity.
