An Industry That closes California
Country schools.
The first English walnut orchard in
California was planted with seed from
the Los Angeles mission gardens. where
the padres had started few trees with
nuts brought with them from Spain
The undertaking was a success from
the first, and the acreage Of walnuts
has steadily Increased The walnut

aud 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 one or two centuries old
bearing enormous 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 It's tweny-hfth to its thir-
ticth year Fifteen hundred pounds of
nuts 20 the acre is a good average yield.
making seventy-fve 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

husk. or hull. through its irregular

trees are well irrigated just before har-

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 done by
long, coarse bamboo poles, whose light
weight makes them easily handled.
In certain rural districts the public
schools close regularly for a 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 10
