FRIDAY, AUGUST 1, 1924 WALNUT THINNING BOOSTS OUTPUT By H. E. WALBERG (County Farm Advisor.) Orange-co contains some of the oldest bearing walnut groves in the state. Last year Orange-co groves led all other walnut growing counties in the average production per acre, except one, which was Ventura-co. The average production per acre for Orange-co was 1027 pounds while that of Ventura was 1054 pounds. The total production from Orange-co amounted to 7447 tons, which led other counties by a large margin. Los Angeles-co came second with 6311 tons and Ventura third with 5556 tons. This is a very good record for Orange-co and no doubt could be considerably improved upon if more attention were given to the improvement of the older closely planted walnut groves, which in many cases are falling off in production. It has been thoroughly demonstrated by several practical growers in Orange-co, cooperating with the Agricultural Extension Service, that thinning of old walnut groves has resulted in the improvement of tree vigor and increase in production. In some cases there has been an immediate recuperation following the removal of a portion of the trees, while in other cases there has been a slight drop in production following the first year of thinning but a substantial gain the second or third year. All of us have noticed the larger bearing surface and structure of isolated walnut trees or even trees grown in hedge row along the road side, due largely to better access to light and no competition from neighboring trees. All tree growth and fruit production is dependent upon accessibility to light, as well as other atmospheric and soil factors. If light is curtailed for one reason or other, as is the case in the old groves planted 30-35 or even 40 feet apart, which is a natural tendency toward diminishing.

Mr. and Mrs. Frank McElhany and daughter Lois and Mrs. MID-WEST WILL BUY MORE FRUIT The better prices for grain be reflected next year in both orange prices on the auction kets, according to Manager of Sandilands of the Anaheim Orchard and Lemon Ass'n. All thru northwest and in a large part the middle west the buying price next year, due to the greatest proved rates for wheat, corn other grains and for hogs is best to be considerably stronger. The same thing will be tried the cotton area. Sandilands declines to any predictions on next year crop, but is inclined to this will be good, if not bumper. Small sizes have been brought a little better prices this year and Sandilands reaffirmed opinion that prices are bound to improve still further. At the time, size for size valencians the Anaheim district are bringing as good prices as those of other section, he declared. Altissimo brand of the Planta Mutual Orange Ass'n.year day again topped the market $8.20 in New York.Another of Altissimo bought $7.50 second highest price of the day.

Mr. and Mrs. James Ba All of us have noticed the larger bearing surface and structure of isolated walnut trees or even trees grown in hedge row along the road side, due largely to better access to light and no competition from neighboring trees. All tree growth and fruit production is dependent upon accessibility to light, as well as other atmospheric and soil factors. If light is curtailed for one reason or other, as is the case in the old groves planted 30-35 or even 40 feet apart, which is a natural tendency toward diminished production. A number of growers in the county have realized the advantages presented by isolated trees and have acquired sufficient courage to remove from 10 to 40 per cent of the trees for the purpose of providing better lighting facilities in the trees. These growers have in all cases proved to their satisfaction that the thinning process has been justified, both from increased production and improved vigor and health of the trees. One grower at Katella two years ago removed 81 trees from a total of 313 and reduced his production only 500 pounds the following year. Another grower at Anaheim, who removed 53 trees out of a total of 234, reduced this total production only 350 pounds the following year. A grower near West Orange removed 96 trees out of a total of 221 in 1917. The following year the grove produced 1000 pounds more. This, of course, is an unusual recuperation and cannot be reasonably expected in the process of thinning and building up a grove. Another grower near Santa Ana removed 232 trees out of a total of 600 in 1920 and increased his production 1300 pounds the first year following the thinning. Several other cases can be cited from records that have been supplied the Agricultural Extension Service by various co-operators. Sufficient results have been secured from this process of orchard rejuvenation to justify the earnest consideration of every owner of old groves who is looking to better production. There are several methods of thinning, some more desirable than others, but in all cases it is well to employ the crop estimate system which requires the charting of the grove to determine which are boarder trees and whence are the best producing trees. After two or three years of check- Mr. and Mrs. Bill Outhouse and little daughter Billy, formerly of this lease, but now of Whittier, spent Friday evening at the home of the latter's sister and family, Mr. and Mrs. Isaac Mayfield.
