GETTING IN THE wALNUrs.
An Industry That Closes CaIiforniw
Country Schools.

An Industry That Closes CaIifornf~
Country Schools.
The FIRST English walnut orchard In
California was planted with seed from
the Los Angeles mission gardens, where
the padres had started a few trees with
nuts brought with them from Spain.
h undertaking was n success from
the first, and the acreage Of wainuts
has steadily increased. The walnut
trees early age OF bearing, Its long life
and the steady demand for It's product
tend to make the enterprise deservedly
popular.
The walnut tree begins to bear when
six or seven years old, and nothing is
known definitely of its age limit of
bearing. Fabulous stories are told Of
trees In Spain or two centuries old
bearing crops. The Oldest
trees In California are still bearing, but
deductions from the short history al
ready made show that the tree is in its
prime from its twenty-fifth to its thir-
deth year. Fifteen hundred pounds Of
nuts to the acre is n good average yield,
making seventy-1vc pounds the average
weight from one tree.
The harvest time begins about the
middle of September and lasts nearly
six weeks. The nuts begin to fall with
the leaves, and the perfect cultivation
under the trees leaves no chance for
them to lose themselves among clods
or weeds. The brown dead leaves
alone hide the nuts. Under normal con-
ditions they drop free from the outer
husk, or hull, through its irregular
bursting, and getting the nuts picked
up is a simple matter. Sometimes the
trees are well irrigated just before har-
vest time to insure the clean dropping
of the nuts.
Boys and girls, men and women, Jap
anese and Chinese, are all pressed into
service, and on hands and knees the
great orchards are gone over, not once,
but several times, on account of the ir-
regular ripening of the nuts. The trees
are occasionally shaken during the sea-
son to loosen the nuts, and before the
last cleaning they are 'poled" to start
the very tardy ones. This is lone by
long, coarse bamboo poles, whose light
weight makes them easily handled.
In certain rural districts the public
schools close regularly for n walnut
vacation" The help of the children is
needed, and the children are nothing
loath to replenish their diminished
purses. Pals, cans and gunnysacks are
scattered among the pickers, and when
the bags are full they are carried to
the drying grounds, where they are
spread out on Stat trays to dry.-Re-
view of Reviews.

There : no doubt but that the LOuisl-
ana Purchase Exposition will prove the
most notable civic event in the world $
history. The numerous departments
will exhibit to the visitor, the In
dustries and it's chronological Depart
ment will assemble the racial repre-
sentatives of more nations than have
ever before been gathered together in
one place and not only the dwellers in
CIVILIZED lands will he there. but the
barbarian, also, will bear his part in
this brilliant pageant Of the nations.
An almost fabulous sum Of money
aggregating eighty million dollars,
and untold labor have been lavished
upon the enterprise and all this for
an exhibition that is to last for only
seven months at the end of which time
the exhibits will be removed and the
buildings demolished.

affords, but also on account of the edu-
cational features which it presents, in
