IMPORTED NUTS MENAGE TO GROWERS HEAVY SHIPMENTS OF WALNUTS EXPECTED FROM FRANCE AND ITALY THIS WINTER CALIFORNIA CULLS WILL BE CRACKED AND MEATS SHIPPED EAST FOR HOLIDAY TRADE The principal competitors of the California walnut grower are the French and Italian shippers. Agents who have been in Europe gathering data report that the crops of those two countries is exceptionally large this season, and that the quality will be good unless unfavorable weather conditions are encountered. An estimate of the French crop is 19,000 tons, or over twice as much as was produced in California last year. In the months of August and September exceptionally heavy rains and hot weather are not uncommon in France, either of which conditions would materially affect the quality and extent of the French crop. Germany has been taking about as many French nuts as America. This outlet is naturally shut off this season, therefore the principal exports from France will go to America and England. It looks as though exceptionally low prices on French and Italian nuts will prevail. There is a holiday demand in this country, however, for about 30 to 35 million pounds of walnuts. A ray of hope lies in the possible inability of France and Italy to lay down walnuts taken off the market in their original condition greatly helps the first class walnut business, because every pound of culls sold generally offsets the sale of two or three pounds of first class nuts; the consumer buying this cull stuff becomes disgusted and does not reorder walnuts again during the season. Therefore, by having nuts cracked the growers are certainly helping the industry in general. Careful estimates of the present walnut crop indicate that there will be between 13,000 and 13,500 tons produced in the state this season against 8,900 tons last year. As a general rule the nuts will not be very large. There will probably be between 12 and 14 per cent of No. 2's. CANNING COMPOUNDS WORSE THAN USELESS Housewives Warned That Use of Preserving Powders is Dangerous to Health and Useless Information has come to the United States department of agriculture that the canning season has brought the usual demand on the part of housewives for salicylic acid and boric acid. These preparations are sometimes sold in the form of powder under various trade names and are recommended by the promoters for use in preserving canned goods in home canning. In the directions for use the housewife is told to fill the jar with the fruit or vegetables, cover with water, and add a teaspoonful of the preserving powder. While it is true that these compounds may retard the decay of the fruit or vegetable, it is pointed out by the experts of the department that their use may be attended by serious disturbances of health. Salicylic acid is well known as a poisonous substance, and one of the evils which may accompany its and extent of the French crop. Germany has been taking about as many French nuts as America. This outlet is naturally shut off this season, therefore the principal exports from France will go to America and England. It looks as though exceptionally low prices on French and Italian nuts will prevail. There is a holiday demand in this country, however, for about 30 to 35 million pounds of walnuts. A ray of hope lies in the possible inability of France and Italy to lay down walnuts in this country in quantity in time for distribution for the Thanksgiving and Christmas trade. If this condition develops the California grower can clean up before the foreign stock can have much effect on the market. There is a streak of conservatism spreading over this country and as a consequence the consumption of high class food products within the last year or two has dwindled to a considerable extent. Wholesale prices on nearly all food commodities have been lowered. The general sentiment amongst the nut growers is for a quick clean up and prompt returns. Taking these matters into consideration, together with crop conditions, they should not expect as high prices as ruled last year. The growers association decided to offer a quantity of one and two pound package walnuts to the trade this year. The price put on these goods it is figured is safely above the returns that would be received on bulk shipments. The package has been enthusiastically received by the trade all over the country, and while the announcement has now been out only a month, orders have been placed for over half a million of the cartons already. These packages will prove a safety valve on years of heavy production, as they can easily be advertised, thus greatly increasing consumption in a short period and are bound to prove a life saver on years which would otherwise develop a carry-over. The consumer can now be assured of getting really high grade California walnuts, which was never possible under the old selling methods, and this feature alone, in a few years time, should greatly increase the demand for California walnuts, thus taking care of the constantly increasing production in Southern California. From the best estimates, there are approximately 43,500 acres of walnuts bearing, and non-bearing in California. When these groves all come into full LAND RELEASED BY FOREST SERVICE By proclamation dated August 31, 1915, President Wilson has eliminated 749,830 acres from the Cleveland national forest. In the directions for use housewife is told to fill the jar with the fruit or vegetables, cover with water, and add a teaspoonful of the preserving powder. While it is true that these compounds may retard the decay of the fruit or vegetable, it is pointed out by the experts of the department that their use may be attended by serious disturbances of health. Salicylic acid is well known as a poisonous substance, and one of the evils which may accompany its use is derangement of the digestion. It is therefore plain that its extensive use in food may lead to disturbance of digestion and health. The Federal food and drugs act prohibits the use of harmful preservatives in foods that enter Interstate commerce. The food law of nearly every State in the Union forbids the sale within the state of foods that have been preserved with harmful substances. Neither the Federal nor state food laws apply to foods that are canned in the home and consumed there. It would seem, however, that the housewife would not knowingly use, in the foods she provides for her family, substances that she could not use in foods for sale without violating the law, because these substances are injurious to health. Fruits and vegetables can be kept indefinitely if they are sterilized by heat and properly sealed, and there is no excuse, in the opinion of the experts of the department, for running any risk by using preserving powders, which may be injurious to health. The use of such powders, in addition to the possible injury to health, encourages uncleanly or careless work in canning. Realliance is placed in the efficacy of the preserving compound instead of upon cleanliness and heat. The department has issued bulletins that give specific directions for the preserving and canning of fruits and vegetables without the use of preserving powders or canning compounds. These bulletins may be obtained without cost from the department of Agriculture. Application should be made for Farmers' Bulletin No. 203, on Canned Fruit, Preserves, and Jellies, and No 521 on Canning Tomatoes at Home and In Club Work.

The consumer can now be assured of getting really high grade California walnuts, which was never possible under the old selling methods, and this feature alone, in a few years time, should greatly increase the demand for California walnuts, thus taking care of the constantly increasing production in Southern California. From the best estimates, there are approximately 43,500 acres of walnut bearing, and non-bearing in California. When these groves all come into full bearing a normal output will run close to twenty thousand tons. The California association is prepared this year to crack all cull and off grade walnuts tendered to it either by the local associations themselves or by members of such local associations. The walnut meat business is developing more rapidly than any other end of the industry, the consumption of walnut meats in this country now being about a million and a half pounds per month. It is believed that, owing to the inability of Europe to import new crop walnut meats in time for the holiday trade this season, there will be a good market at good prices for all California walnut meats which can be delivered prior to the first of December. The cracking plant will have a capacity of 16 tons of walnuts daily and it is believed that all culls can be handled. All association growers have the privilege of delivering their culls to their local association at the same time their first class walnuts are delivered. Each grower’s culls will be kept separate and returns made separately on each lot. Pools will close on the 1st and 15th of each month and it is almost a certainty that the early deliveries will bring the highest prices, so it is to the advantage of the grower to deliver culls several times during the harvest season. Every pound of LAND RELEASED BY FOREST SERVICE By proclamation dated August 31, 1915, President Wilson has eliminated 749,830 acres from the Cleveland national forest. The eliminated lands are rolling rather than mountainous in character, and covered mainly with chaparral. They extend along practically the entire length of the forest. The purpose of the president's action is to exclude from the forest boundaries the areas which are heavily alienated and are also of least value for forest purposes. Such concentration of the remaining forest lands will promote efficiency of administration and reduce expenses of maintenance to the government. One of the main reasons for the establishment of the Cleveland forest was the protection of the mountain water sheds from which the water supply of the city of San Diego is derived. In making this large elimination the needs of San Diego have been carefully kept in mind, and all areas of mountainous government land which are of importance to the San Diego water supply have been retained within the forest. Mary L. Paschall has sworn to a complaint against her husband, Duke Paschall, charging him with non-support of their child, Arthur Paschall. The family have lived in this city for several years.

The county auditor was directed to set apart 20 per cent of all road funds into the general road fund. It was ordered and declared that the length of the main track of the Southern Pacific railroad in Orange county is 60.635 miles, and the assessed value per mile is $26.372.96, and, That the length of the main track of the Aachison, Topeka & Santa Fe railroad in Orange county is 71.97 miles, and the assessed value per mile is $23.291.15. Contract was awarded to the Southern California Edison company for $1.25 per 32 candle power, tungsten lamp, per month. The report of W. S. Gregg, as county expert, was approved and ordered filed. Bids were received for the improvement of Hiatt street, La Mirada avenue and Fifth street, and the contract was awarded to Max L. Hubermann for $6.234.87. The Clerk was directed to advertise for bids for the improvement of Irvine boulevard. Bids to be opened Sept. 21, 1915, at 2 p.m. Ralph J. McFadden was appointed delegate from Orange county to the Pan-American and Pacific Coast Good Roads congress to be held in Oakland Sept. 13-18, 1915. Deeds were accepted for right of way from Geo. H. Schroeder, et al and Samuel Kraemer, et al. The El Toro road was accepted as completed by Max L. Huberman, contractor. The petition of J. C. Ord, et al., for the incorporation of Seal Beach as a city of the 6th class, was granted,and the election called for Oct. 19, 1915,for incorporation. The board adjourned to Sept. 21, 1915, at 10 a.m. RAIL SHIPPED TOMATOES Beginning early in the year and continuing until late in the fall tomatoes are shipped commercially from over half of the States of the union. There is probably no other perishable vegetable commonly grown out of doors in the United States which appears on the market through a longer season than does the tomato. Florida of course, with its location and climate, stands as the premier tomato states and starts the tomato movement each year in January. The Northern states such as New York and Ohio finish out the season in October,and by the time,the movement is over approximately 12,000 cars are moved for table consumption,aording to a recent survey made by the department of agriculture. Florida ships about half the tomatoes moved (6.000) cars with Mississippi,新 Jersey and Texas handling approximately 1,500 cars apiece.The other states grow tomatoes in smaller quantities but in certain districts,such as western Tennessee,the crop is of great local importance. the length of the main track of the Southern Pacific railroad in Orange county is 60.635 miles, and the assessed value per mile $26,372.96, and, That the length of the main track of the Pullman company in Orange county is 62.31 miles, and the assessed value per mile is $656.16, and, That the length of the main track of the Aachison, Topeka & Santa Fe railroad in Orange county is 71.97 miles, and the assessed value per mile is $23,291.15. The mileage of railroads in cities and school districts was fixed as per estimate of county auditor. Demands on the county of Orange were allowed as read. The chairman was directed to sign the contract and approve the ponds of C. M. Jordan for making alterations in the Orange county court house. Supervisor Talbert was given permission to spend in excess of $300 for road work in Newhope road district. The salary of the county purchasing agent was fixed at $135 per month. The petition of J. C. Ord, et al, for incorporation of Seal Beach as a city of the 6th class, was presented and read, together with protests and the matter was continued to Sept. 8, 1915, for further evidence. Applications for fumigating and spraying licenses were granted to E. E. Campbell, A. H. Davis, Ernest Yorde, S. L. Coffman, Harry A. Coffman, H. W. Clark, Paul Bay, J. R. Johnson, Sidney L. Nichols, Floyd Hadley, Hugh DeBerry, Glenn A. Beltz, Paul Schilling, and A. Laswell, on recommendation of the horticultural commissioner. The Clerk was directed to advertise for sale $5000 6 per cent bonds of Ocean View School district, bids to be opened Sept. 21, 1915, at 11 a.m. Ordinance No. 131 preventing the ESSENTIALS OF ROAD MANAGEMENT Summarized briefly, the essentials to successful state highway administration, as demonstrated by the experience of the various state highway departments, are as follows: (a) the elimination of politics as a factor in state highway work; (b) the control by the highway department of all work on which state funds are expended; (c) adequate appropriations for continuous maintenance of highways under efficient supervision from day to highways are completed; (d) state supervision as to surveys, plans and specifications of roads and the bridges constructed under bond issues, and supervision of such other road and bridge work as requires considerable cash outlay and the exercise of engineering skill and knowledge. Florida ships about half the tomatoes moved (6,000) cars with Mississippi, New Jersey and Texas handling approximately 1,500 cars apiece. The other states grow tomatoes in smaller quantities but in certain districts, such as western Tennessee, the crop is of great local importance. The department shows that a total of 12,000 cars were moved; but this by no means represents the entire tomato crop, since an effort was made to exclude those going to canneries and catsup factories. When demand for tomatoes in the markets is heavy, it is more profitable to ship the tomatoes which were originally intended for the canneries, but if the market is weak larger quantities are offered for canning.
