BENEFITS OF CO-OPERATION WHY WALNUT GROWERS SHOULD JOIN ASSOCIATION Books Open to Enter Names of New Growers, and a Welcome Awaits All—Prosperous Times Wait Upon Associated Growers —Outsiders at Mercy of Speculating Middlemen. The Anaheim Walnut Association ranks second among the twenty-three associations doing business in Southern California for money paid members for walnuts the past season. The net amount paid growers by the association for softshells was $10.68 per hundred weight. Outside growers sold their crop at from 7 to 9 1-2 cents. If any argument were necessary to prove to outside growers that joining the association means prosperity to them, this fact ought to supply it. Years ago, before the walnut growers of Southern California decided for their own protection to form co-operative associations, individual growers were compelled to sell their crop as low as 3 and 4 cents per pound. They were at the mercy of the middlemen, and it was either these ruinously low figures or no sale. In those days when the increasing superiority of the California walnut dislodged the foreign nut in large part from the American market, as high as 6 cents was realized. Once the growers formed co-operative associations, the price rose steadily to 9, 10 and 11 cents, and last year the agreed price was 12½ cents. This price it was found necessary later to reduce, on account of the indiscriminate cutting by pays at the present time, the output has doubled so the price to the grower doubled, and this increase has been secured by the lions, so that now the profit industry go to the grower to the speculator. 6. A few years ago the raft announced that the freight order would be increased. They suaded from increasing rates united action of the association. In the investigation of how now going on by the ways and committee, there was great of a recommendation that the cent duty on walnuts be which would inevitably cause a cent drop in the price of walnuts. The associations agents on the ground at War and persuaded the committee recommend the removal of the At the time of annually fixed prices, the associations, three U. S. consuls, and sometimes agents of their own, ascertain probable size of the foreign Also by means of reports from the walnut sections of the state are able to approximate the output. Finally through their they learn the conditions of and are thus able to intelligently termine what the price should All of which occasions some of 7. But says one man: "I do not any man or association to do business for me. I am competent tend to it myself, and I want to ensure and satisfaction of attend my own affairs." Let me remind you that the business of the world today on the co-operative plan typically every industry but tha In those days when the increasing superiority of the California walnut dislodged the foreign nut in large part from the American market, as high as 6 cents was realized. Once the growers formed co-operative associations, the price rose steadily to 9, 10 and 11 cents, and last year the agreed' price was 12½ cents. This price it was found necessary later to reduce, on account of the indiscriminate cutting by outsiders, and the local association, as stated, paid $10.68. There is a vast difference between the associated grower and the one out of the fold. The first has the stamp of prosperity over him. He has a fattening bank account. The outside grower turns his profits over to the middlemen, and fails to receive the full benefits of his toll. It is the purpose of the association to lift these outsiders up and show them the light of better things. They ought to lose no time in joining. The local association paid last year 13 1-4 cents for bags, while the price at the close of the season was 19 1-4 cents. This may not amount to so much to a small grower, but in the aggregate it means that thousands of dollars were paid by outside growers for this excess rate for bags. The association is placing an order for 12,000 bags, sufficient to contain 500 tons of nuts, and if outsiders wish to receive the benefit of the lower rate, they should lose no time in joining. The bags come from Calcutta, and a shipload is ordered by the associated growers of Southern California. It costs nothing to join. Do you want to be on the inside, or would you rather continue to impersonate the fat goose which the sly fox Mr. Middleman will later come along and take care of? If you are not a member, and desire to join, see Secretary Phelps, secretary of the association, at the American Savings bank. He will give you further information. Here are ten reasons why all walnut growers should belong to a walnut growers' association, by Frank E. Kellogg: 1. You can get your bags much cheaper as the associations buy at 7. But says one man: "I do any man or association to do business for me. I am competent tend to it myself, and I want to ensure and satisfaction of attention my own affairs." Let me remind you that the business of the world today on the co-operative plan typically every industry but that the farmer's is already organized by that means able to get the market price for its product, the farmer does not organize the full market price of his products then some one else will set that for him, and it will be set ature which will make him the most other men. Which would best, to co-operate with your growers and get 12 cents a pound your walnuts, or maintain a low dependence and get only 6 cents a pound? The competition of the foreign principally determines what the market price in this country should. Let us not lower that standard ruinous competition with each other. As a matter of fact the outusually sells at about associations, thus allowing the association actually do the most essential part his business for him. And he highly admits that the prevailing prices, as compared with years, are due chiefly, if not tirelessly, to the good work of the associations, and he would greatly plore their disruption, for it we mean very serious loss to Therefore the right thing for him do, is to join the association. 8. Not only so, but the outus has unavoidably been a positive age to the industry, for there is doubt but that prices would higher than they do but for him the associations never dare to the prices as high as the market really justify, for fear the outs will "queer" the market by under ing, if sales should chance to slow, as shown this past year. 9. Also the outsider is the greemenace to the association. If he dersells the association he "quee along and take care of? If you are not a member, and desire to join, see Secretary Phelps, secretary of the association, at the American Savings bank. He will give you further information. Here are ten reasons why all walnut growers should belong to a walnut growers' association, by Frank E. Kellogg: 1. You can get your bags much cheaper, as the associations buy at one time enough for a season's crop, and thus get them at wholesale price. 2. You can get your nuts processed cheaper than if done privately. The association plan eliminates all profits in handling, and the nuts are processed for you at the exact cost of the work, which is more cheaply done on a large than on a small scale. 3. By belonging to an association you are relieved from all anxiety. You do not have to hunt around for a buyer and be in suspense as to what price you will get. You know that the nuts will be sold, and that you will get the full price no matter what it may be. 4. You will get more for your nuts by belonging to the association. A careful comparison, in one of the principal walnut growing sections, has shown, that taking it over a period of six years, the members of the association have realized an average of one cent per pound, or $20 per ton, more than the outsiders. 5. When the association movement began, twelve years ago, walnuts were bringing the grower only 6 and 7 cents per pound. The speculators cornered them at that price, and then charged the consumer as much as he doubt but that prices would higher than they do but for him, the associations never dare to the prices as high as the market really justify, for fear the outsiders will "queer" the market by undering, if sales should chance to slow, as shown this past year. 9. Also the outsider is the greater menace to the association. If he dersells the association he "queer" the market, making it difficult the association to sell, sometimes causing much delay, which leads some members to become discouraged drop out of the association. They "we might have sold too, even though the price was less, if we had not members of the association." Whenever the associations go pieces, we will very quickly return the 6 and 7 cents a pound price for which we came. The control of industry will depart from the grer, and return where it was before the speculators. 10. But the outside traffic is a greater menace by demoralizing eastern buyers of association nuts. The only escape from this disasse is the immediate coming into the associations of all the outside growers so that before the next season open we can present a solid front. "United we stand, divided we fall." And the time for the outsider act is right now. Books of the association are open and the organization offers a help hand to all those who desire to co-in.

BETTER WOOD UTILIZATION IMPORTANT STUDY IN CONSERVATION OF FORESTS Newly Established Branch of Products Beneficial to People of the West, Whose Workings Have been Little Understood in this Section [Correspondence of The Gazette] San Francisco, Cal., April 19.—Forest conservation means the striving for a better utilization of forest products and the consequent checking of useless waste as much as it does protection of forests from fires and the reforestation of lands which should grow timber, according to foresters and lumbermen of the new school. Few people have a clear idea of the importance of the study of proper wood utilization, and one of the effects of the establishment of the Forest Service district offices most beneficial to the people of the west is the possibility of a close, helpful relation with a branch of the service whose workings have heretofore been little understood in this region. This is the Branch of Products. The work of this part of the forest service has to do with the best and most economical utilization of the products of the forests, not only lumber and its products but leaves of those trees of which these parts are of value to man. It is not enough that care should be given to the growing of a new forest and to the careful and economical cutting of the present crop tested to ascertain their and properties, and to find methods whereby they may rightful place among the economical value to man. The forest service will headquarters in San Francisco to give what information have at its command co-value and properties of it to co-operate with private to make tests on woods which no information is.

It is not enough that care should be given to the growing of a new forest and to the careful and economical cutting of the present crop of trees, but it is of equal importance that care be taken to bring about as complete a utilization of the tree as possible and to make the utilized timber serve its purpose as long as possible. To bring about the utilization of what is now wasted in manufacture or to increase the usable life of timber is considered as much forest conservation as to grow a forest where the original has been cut off. Since more than 50 per cent-of the growing tree is not utilized according to American methods of lumbering it appears that there is a considerable need of study along the line of more economical utilization. Although existing conditions are so different as to make comparison difficult yet the fact that in Germany practically 80 per cent of the tree is used gives some indication of what may be accomplished where the price of lumber and the lack of a sufficient supply make efficient and careful methods indispensable. The branch of products has made a special effort to make possible the utilization of the waste incident to manufacture after the log has reached the mill. For some time experiments have been carried on studying the possibilities of utilizing slabs and sawdust. In regions where there is a sufficient demand a considerable income is derived from the secondary manufacture by private parties, of slabs and edgings into box shocks, barrel staves and lath. As yet private and federal efforts to utilize sawdust have not been as successful as may be desired.

The lines of most promise, however, have been its use in paper making and in the distillation of pine sawdust for the production of turpentine. Much remains to be accomplished, however, to make this work an unqualified success. Still another dissipation of timber wealth has occurred through prejudice or the ignorance of the properties of certain woods. For some reason certain species have been considered as inferior largely because such a prejudice has been formed against them as to render them practically valueless on the lumber markets on which account they were left in the woods, a total loss. In many cases the popular conception of their value has later not been borne out by the facts, or has been found to be the result of ignorance of the proper method of handling these species. Notable examples are those of the hemlock and red gum in the east, which for a long time were considered worthless and were wasted, but which upon a better understanding of their use and properties have come to have considerable value as lumber trees. The western hemlock and tanbark oak suffered the same fate, and caused the total loss of millions of feet of good lumber. To eliminate this waste timber testing laboratories are conducted by the forest service in which woods are "Conservation in California," of national repute in their knn of conditions, will undoubtedly vast importance to all interest.

It is estimated that during the period from July, 1905, to July, 1908, newly established and enlarged enterprises, including banking, spinning, electric, mining, ice manufacturing, navigation, manufacturing industry, insurance, commerce, etc., represented a total of $952,963,796. The same report states that Japan is aiming to and will eventually be able to supply its home requirements for manufactured goods and compete with foreign countries in the markets of China and the Far East generally. Explosives, cigars, cigarettes, sugar and petroleum refining are among the newer industries. These industries are carried on with cheap labor that is largely at the mercy of exploiters as to wages, hours of labor and conditions of employment. Potato Dip at Mullinix's.

It's so easily digested that it doesn't tax the digestive organs and they rest; yet the body is wonderfully nourished and built up. The digestion is improved—then ordinary food is sufficient.
