PAGE FOUR JAPANESE RESENT NAVAL BASE PLAN TOKYO, Dec. 10.—Announcement that Great Britain intends to build a naval base at Singapore, in the Straits Settlements, is causing considerable antagonistic comment throughout Japan, elapsed even the intense feeling felt against the proposed American 1925 battle fleet maneuvers around Hawaii. The Japanese press is widely discussing the Singapore base, pointing out the possible threat it may hold against Japanese sovereignty in the orient. Official quarters, however, decline to comment either on the Singapore project or the American fleet maneuvers. In connection with the Singapore announcement the foreign office here denies that Japan intends to protest to Great Britain against the proposed base, though it is rumored that Hayashi, Japanese ambassador in London, has been instructed to make friendly representations to Britain outlining Japan's apprehensions against the British Far Eastern naval base project. Observers here believe that if Britain proceeds with the Singapore base Japan will re-open the entire question of naval disarmament if another limitation conference is convened. BUYS BUNGALOW W. I.

E. Wahlberg, County Agricultural Agent. The walnut harvest season has closed. The crop is in and the growers are now giving that to next year's problems. This year has brot home more emphatically than ever the fallacy of close planting in the walnut groves. Records are coming in from the packing houses each week showing a consistent increase in the production of walnut groves that are planted 40x40 feet or closer, particularly where they have reached the age of twenty years or more. A typical instance is that of a grove twenty-five years old, located in the midat of the walnut growing section of the county, which produced less than ten tons during the 1924 season compared with over 24 tons or 37 per cent of the land. A recent survey conducted by the County Agricultural Orange-co. revealed that groves aggregating 4,880 acres are faced with this situation to a greater or less than 250 pounds loss were each acre of the closest groves, and this is an servative figure. It has indicated that the loss to the industry in Orange-co. is a minimum estimate. Several growers are to appreciate the loss we have faced during these seasons and are now taking to correct the excessive incidence by close plantation evidence of this being stratified by several growth vicinity of Santa Ana, Anaheim and La Habra. 25 to 50 per cent of the being either gradually removed by the growers. CHAPLIN'S MOTHER MUST RETURN HOME WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.—On the heels of Charlie Chaplin's romantic marriage to pretty Lita Grey, came the development today that he is to be separated from his aged mother, who has been an invalid for many years. Within the next few months the famous motion picture comedian and Mrs. Hannah Chaplin must bid each other farewell, probably never again to see each other in this country. MUST RETURN HOME WASHINGTON, Dec. 10. On the heels of Charlie Chaplin's romantic marriage to pretty Lita Grey, came the development today that he is to be separated from his aged mother, who has been an invalid for many years. Within the next few months the famous motion picture comedian and Mrs. Hannah Chaplin must bid each other farewell, probably never again to see each other in this country. It was learned at the department of labor today that Mrs. Chaplin must leave the United States on or before next March 24. Mrs. Chaplin was admitted to this country from England in March of 1921 under bond for medical treatment, and is now in Los Angeles. At the time she was adjudged ineligible for citizenship and Chaplin who had become wealthy since he left London as a boy, was determined to give his mother every advantage known to medical science. Since her arrival, Mrs. Chaplin has been under the care of eminent specialists and successive extensions of her original leave were granted. The final extension was granted last March to run for a year or so that physicians might conclude their work. There is no alternative, it is understood as under the new immigration law, allens ineligible to citizenship are not permitted in this country. NEED MORE PEOPLE TO EAT PRODUCTS SACRAMENTO, Dec. 10. "What we need in California is a greater industrial population to which we can feed our products." With this excerpt from annual address of G. H. Hecke, director of state department of agriculture, standing out as the keynote of the meeting, more than 1,000 farmers, representing virtually every branch of agriculture in California, today assembled in the assembly chamber of the state capitol for the fifty-seventh Fruit Growers' and Farmers' convention. The convention will continue thru today and tomorrow. Urging the need of greater industrial expansion to provide for the future development of agriculture, Hecke declared that "California can easily stand a vast increase in its number of inhabitants." "Until new industries are brot to the state, however, there is 'no crying need for an additional agricultural and rural population,'" he added. Recommendations embodied in Hecke's report were: 1.

E. Wahlberg, County Agricultural Agent. All growers are invited to meet at the Villa Park Orchards' Ass'n Packing House on the Foothill-blvd. at Villa Park. From this point, several groves will be visited showing the effects of proper windbreak protection and also proper soil moisture regulation during the past season. The recent wind has convinced a large number of growers in exposed regions of the necessity of planting windbreaks in order to reduce the velocity of the wind. It has been thoroughly demonstrated that in certain exposures, good moisture conditions alone will not prevent wind injury. The wind force must be cut down by artificial means. NERRIOT SICK PARIS, Dec. 19.—Premier Herriott's physicians today ordered him to suspend all official busness and to remain in bed for a few days. The premier is suffering with grippe, but his condition is declared to be not serious. during the 1924 season as compared with over 24 tons in 1918, or 37 per cent of the 1918 crop. A recent survey conducted by the County Agricultural Agent in Orange-co., revealed that 413 groves, aggregating 4,882 acres, are faced with this same condition to a greater or less degree. If 250 pounds loss were credited to each acre of the closely planted groves, and this is an ultra-conservative figure, it has been estimated that the loss to the walnut industry in Orange-co. is 500,000, a minimum estimate. Several growers are beginning to appreciate the loss which they have faced during the past few seasons and are now taking steps to correct the excessive shading caused by close planting. Full evidence of this is being demonstrated by several growers in the vicinity of Santa Ana, Tustin, Anaheim and La Habra. From 25 to 50 per cent of the trees are being either gradually or totally removed by the growers. A tremendous amount of wood is being removed. The Forestry Department of the University, at the request of the Walnut Department of the Farm Bureau, is now investigating methods of utilizing this walnut wood with the hope of finding a better use than relegating it to the fire place. Profitable results from thinning out his walnut grove has just been received from Mr. Hugh Osborne on Seventeenth-st., Santa Ana, who has removed 50 per cent of the trees on half of his grove with 13 trees to the acre, and leaving the other half untouched with 26 trees to the acre. This thinning was done about four years ago. Data secured by Mr. Osborne during the harvest this year disclosed a yield of 2250 pounds per acre on the part of the grove thinned to 13 trees per acre, while he secured only 1900 pounds per acre on the unthinned portion where 26 trees were planted to the acre. More evidence is accumulating every week in favor of the proper thinning of old groves. An opportunity is going to be given walnut growers to visit thinned groves and those in the process of thinning on Friday morning, Dec. 19, at 10 a.m. MAIL CARDS EARLY The early mailing of Christmas cards is just as important as Christmas packages, says Postmaster J.
