Imported Stock.

Most OF the early stock was secur-
ed from California but a great deal
OF II also came from Florida.
One OF the mistakes early growers
OF citrus made In the Valley was 70
plant the trees, especially grape
fruit. too close together. Many o.
these early paintings were only Il
feet apart and n Of the arguments
in favor Of this arrangement was
that later every other tree could be
removed. But it takes courage 10 e
move bearing trees from an orchard
and many old groves in the Valley
today are cramped because OF close
paintings.
There was no knowledge Of prun-
ing and the belief was prevalent that
fertilizer would be unnecessary due
10 the extreme fertility Of the soil
But the necessity for intelligent
pruning and fertilizing has later been
demonstrated.
Early growers also made no effort
at pest control because they suffered
little trouble in this respect. The i'm
portations Of root stocks were not
properly supervised. primarily for
lack of funds. Thus within a few
years they were confronted with
scale and rust mite which came IN
with the root stocks.

that the right kind Of soil should
be the first consideration in the
selection Of a proper location for
an orchard. II should be a soil
which will not break into open
cracks as the surface moisture dries
out. This Is for the obvious reason
that such soil would tear the root
let's apart and retard growth Of the
tree.
The soil should, Of course, not
carry hard pan, nor blowing sand.
The typical citrus soil is a sandy
loan Of varying degrees of sand
or clay loan of the proper texture.

AS TO scale control, the most
serious we have II the California
red scale although we have some
Florida red scale. Scale Is usually
controlled in the Valley by means
Of oil emulsions. The use Of such
emulsions must be carefully safe

will be injured.
Most oil emulsions are high
priced end expensive to use but the
expense is lesSened where he

the grower using his own machine

afternoon, say 5 p. m. or later.
This materially lessons the danger

rigate previous TO the application.
Spraying should he done as soon
after watering as the machines can
be taken into the orchard.
