LOSS FROM CULLS NOW SAVED BY CRACKING METHOD USED BY ASSOCIATION MAKES INFERIOR GRADE OF NUTS MORE VALUABLE MACHINES IN OPERATION THAT WILL HANDLE 5000 POUNDS PER DAY In the lexicon of the California English walnut industry there is no such word as "cull." There was a time when the sale of $5,000,000 worth of high grade walnuts was jeopardized by cull nuts, but that day has passed into history. Today the cull walnuts yields a by product and the demand for it is greater than the supply. During the past two years the cull walnuts handled by the California Wainut Growers' Association, which markets 75 per cent of the crop grown in the state, have been cracked and sold as halves and pieces. They now bring more money than they were worth when sold as culls, and their popularity is doing much to increase the demand for unshelled walnuts from California groves. The California Walnut Growers' association is entitled to credit for lifting the cull nut out of the dump into the high grade grocery. Until 1915 the culls were sold in the groves, usually at about 3 cents per pound. The hucksters who bought them mixed them with a few nuts of better grade and topped them with some sealing the poor ones out of the market, and relieves the public of the discomfort of buying nuts which may be 60 per cent shriveled or wormy when cracked. The element of chance in buying walnuts has been largely eliminated by this new and scientific method of handling and marketing one of California's most substantial crops. FULLERTON BALL TEAM KNOCKED OUT OF DIAMOND Fans in Neighboring City Want Anaheim to Enter League In the game with the Pacific Electric, Fullerton is retired without a run, says the Tribune. That is the decision of the umpire, and the umpire is no less a personage than Paul Shoup, president of the P. E. Fullerton was simply outclassed in every particular, and the Pacific Electric takes the pennant. The local team never had a look-in. It was this way: The Fullerton club had arranged to enter the winter league with a team that promised to run away with the whole business, when along comes the Pacific Electric and announces that it will be running cars into Fullerton before winter, which means that electric cars will cut right through the Fullerton diamond on Santa Fe avenue. Now, as a cut diamond is only good for gem purposes along with a low-necked dress and pink rouge, the proposed Fullerton winter league baseball team will have no grounds on which to play and must go out of business before it even gets in. That is the predicament that confronts the fans here. Fullerton is called out, and the P. E. makes a home run. There is talk, however, of Anaheim taking over the proposed Fullerton LET US REALIZE That every flag to use German one is bidden flag, and that in our defense under not be maintained unless there is food and for their women home.

Let Us FIND THE FOOD AND USE LESS MEAT TO MEAN A SACRICT SMALL ONE FOR THOSE WE MUST NOT FOR ARE OFFering Their Necessary To Win worth when sold as culls, and their popularity is doing much to increase the demand for unshelled walnuts from California groves. The California Walnut Growers' association is entitled to credit for lifting the cull nut out of the dump into the high grade grocery. Until 1915 the culls were sold in the groves, usually at about 3 cents per pound. The hucksters who bought them mixed them with a few nuts of better grade and topped them with some selects, then sold them to the retail grocers. At that time 10 cents per pound was the prevailing price for English walnuts here. People didn't think they were worth more than that and select walnuts met with discouragement when offered at more than 10 cents per pound. The association decided that it could only establish a market for high grade walnuts by withdrawing the culls from retail markets. The first thing it did was to make its contract read that the growers were to deliver every pound of their culls to the association. It then began cracking the nuts, separating the halves, packing them attractively and offering them to the grocers and bakers all over the country. During the first year they found that the imported halves were sharp competitors, but by careful grading the Californians finally won the confidence of the trade and last year they were able to sell all the halves and pieces they could deliver. At the opening of this season the market was bare. It is now ready to buy them in large quantities. On the second floor of the association's new headquarters at No. 1326 East Seventh street, Los Angeles, the largest and best equipped awalnut shelling and packing plant in the world has been installed. This plant is equipped with a battery of four cracking machines, each of which is capable of handling five tons of nuts per day. Two hundred and fifty young women, dressed in snow white uniforms, spend five months of the year at the long white tables, separating the nut halves, picking out the pieces and packing the finished product. The walnut cracking machines are mechanical marvels. They were invented by walnut growers who rose to the emergency when the association announced that it needed a machine to do the work that had formerly been done by hand. These machines have now, as a cut diamond is only good for gem purposes along with a low-necked dress and pink rouge, the proposed Fullerton winter league baseball team will have no grounds on which to play and must go out of business before it even gets in. That is the predicament that confronts the fans here. Fullerton is called out, and the P. E. makes a home run. There is talk, however, of Anaheim taking over the proposed Fullerton team, which would be almost as good as if Fullerton had one of its own. Next to Fullerton, the fans here would come to the front. CANNERY INCREASES PRESENT CAPACITY 800 Acres of Von Schriltz Ranch is Added to its Field The California Packing Company which owns and operates the cannery in Santa Ana on 1st St. has leased 800 acres from I. M. Van Schriltz, two and a half miles southwest of Santa Ana, for a period of three years. This lease, more than any other step that has been taken, puts the concern upon a permanent basis. In addition to the product of this 800 acres, the cannery company has signed contracts with growers for the product of about 600 acres, for next year. This will give the cannery a much larger output next year than it had this year. During the 1917 season, the cannery grew some peppers and pimentos on the Von Schriltz ranch, between 200 and 300 acres all together. The new lease, which is based upon a crop rental, gives the cannery control of 800 of the 1240 acres on the ranch. For several years this ranch has been devoted almost entirely to sugar beet and bean growing. The 800 acres will be planted to refuge beans, chili peppers and pimentos. MAY GLEAN ORCHARDS FOR THE RED CROSS Ranchers are Consenting to Permit Workers to Gather Nuts A new source of revenue for the Red Cross is in prospect if plans under consideration by walnut association officials are carried out.

But do you for the nation. women, dressed in snow white uniforms, spend five months of the year at the long white tables, separating the nut halves, picking out the pieces and packing the finished product. The walnut cracking machines are mechanical marvels. They were invented by walnut growers who rose to the emergency when the association announced that it needed a machine to do the work that had formerly been done by hand. These machines have devices which drop the walnuts down into channels in such a way that the pressure can be applied by wedge-shaped squeezers with such ease that 80 per cent of the nut halves can be taken out of the shells whole. The success of these machines has been phenomenal. Another machine which developed from sheer necessity is the vacuum separator—a device which by suction picks up and carries off through a chute all of the nuts passing beneath it which are so light that their weight marks them as containing shriveled meats or being otherwise unfit for No.1 or 2 grade. This is the machine which separates the sheep from the goats. It takes out the culls automatically and heaps them in the big basement bins, ready for the cracking machinery. During the 1915 season, the association marketed 434,526 pounds of cracked nut meats. In 1916 it sold all the halves and pieces it could pack, the prices being from 25 to 45 cents per pound, depending upon the quality and color of the meats. This year it expects to sell 1,500,000 pounds at prices from 35 to 50 cents per pound. The grower used to receive 3 cents a pound for culls, and by selling them as culls he killed his market for good walnuts. Today he gets better than 5 cents per pound for culls, receives more for his high grade nuts by keep- MAY GLEAN ORCHARDS FOR THE RED CROSS Ranchers are Consenting to Permit Workers to Gather Nuts A new source of revenue for the Red Cross is in prospect if plans under consideration by walnut association officials are carried out. C. S. Head of Fullerton is interesting walnut growers in the scheme. The plan is to donate gleanings from walnut orchards to the Red Cross. It is believed that many thousand dollars could be raised in this way. Gleanings thus received will be handled practically free by the walnut associations. A shipment of Red Cross walnuts will be sent to the market at the prevailing price. Culls will be cracked and utilized for the same fund. Many walnut growers have already signified their willingness to give the gleanings of their orchards for this purpose, and it is believed that most of them will fall in with the idea enthusiastically. The gleaning itself will be done by Red Cross workers. Ranchers who are willing to cooperate are requested to notify local Red Cross headquarters. The Red Cross workers offer to pick up the nuts for half of the proceeds in cases where the rancher is unwilling to give them all. In some communities, a day will be set aside for gleaning when workers will rally and proceed in automobiles from orchard to orchard doing their work. Anaheim expects to make a gala day out of it. Mr. and Mrs. J. P. Mayhew are at home again after a lengthy visit to friends in Oklahoma. Anaheim Gazette LET US REMEMBER That every flag that flies opposite the German one is by proxy the American flag, and that the armies fighting in our defense under these flags cannot be maintained through this winter unless there is food enough for them and for their women and children at home. There can only be food enough if America provides it. And America can only provide it by the personal service and patriotic cooperation of all of us. California must do her part. To save meat we must use more poultry, rabbits and especially fish and sea food in place of beef, mutton and pork. Observe meatless day every Tuesday. On other days do not use either beef, mutton or pork more than once daily. Use all left over meat, cold or in made dishes. Use soups more freely. Use beans. They have nearly the same food value as meat. Let Us Remember That the food animals of the allies have decreased by 33,000,000 head since the war began. At the same time the needs of their soldiers have steadily increased. The allied armies and our own soldiers must have meat. If we will save one ounce of meat per person per day, we can solve the problem. Observe meatless day on Tuesday and use less meat on other days. This means a sacrifice but it will be a small one for those who stay at home. We must not forget that our soldiers are offering their lives if that becomes necessary to win the war. up of business but a time when every sensible process of stimulation should be used." San Bernardino city has already sent 450 of its youth to war, subscribed its allotment in the two liberty bonds, and its patriotic citizens desired to be sure that the Orange Show did not come within the scope of the appeal of the president for postponing activities which did not come within the class of war work. MOTOR CYCLES PERMITTED IN PARK Secretary Lane of the department of the Interior announces that hereafter motorcycles will be admitted to Yosemite National park. Heretofore they have not been permitted in the park because the park roads have been in use by horse drawn vehicles and because some of the grades on the park roads have been considered too steep and dangerous for motorcycle traffic. The roads have recently been improved until now there are none of them that are not safe for travel in any kind of conveyance and during the 1917 season there has been practically no travel in the park by horse drawn vehicles. It is the secretary's desire to permit the freest possible use of the national parks to all of the people and as it is considered perfectly safe now to allow motorcycles in Yosemite this order has been issued. The regulations governing motorcycle traffic will be issued in the near future. POPULAR YOUNG COUPLE GIVEN SURPRISE PARTY Mr. and Mrs. Guy B. Evans, the popular young Fullerton and Anaheim couple, who were married the 11th of last month, and are domiciled on East either declamation or essay writing contests. The declaimers may deliver any five minutes selection they may choose, within certain limits fixed by the constitution of the league. Those who try to win the essay writing contest are to write on one of the following topics: "What can the American boy or girl do to help the United States win the war?" "Impressions gained from a study of the life of some American hero," My favorite sport," or "An account of some personal experience." Information concerning either the high school or the elementary school debating series may be obtained by writing to the University extension division at Berkeley and asking for the free bulletin published by the university containing the constitution and the rules and regulations for these contests in debating, declamation and essay writing. Howard Hankey, who as head of the bureau of public discussion of the university extension division has been in charge of the high school and grammar school debating contests for the state championships, has just left the university to put on khaki in the aviation service, but the two great debating series will be carried through in full accordance with the plans he has perfected. AS A PATCHED PATRIOT A generation ago it was not deemed a disgrace for old or young, rich or poor, to wear clothes or shoes that were still in fairly good condition, though patched in spots. To wear patched clothes was considered an evidence of both industry and thrift. But the vanity which dominates some of us and influences all of us has put patches out of style. An age of luxury has banished the simple precepts of economy taught in Poor Richard's Almanac. But perhaps the necessities soldiers have steadily increased. The allied armies and our own soldiers must have meat. If we will save one ounce of meat per person per day, we can solve the problem. Observe meatless day on Tuesday and use less meat on other days. This means a sacrifice but it will be a small one for those who stay at home. We must not forget that our soldiers are offering their lives if that becomes necessary to win the war. Let us make another record in this important effort—the conservation of food. Let Us Remember That a part of the problem of those of us who stay at home is to help feed our allies this winter by sending them as much food as we can of the most concentrated nutritive value in the least shipping space. Our exports must be increased. The foods they will need are wheat, beef, pork, mutton, dairy products and sugar. Observe wheatless day on Wednesday. Use corn, oats, rye, barley, or mixed cereal rolls, muffins, and breads in place of white bread on Wednesdays, and on other days if possible. Eat less cake and pastry. On days when you eat white bread, if you buy from a bakery, order a day in advance. The baker then will not bake beyond his needs. Cut the loaf on the table and only as desired. Use stale bread for toast and cooking. Let Us Remember That the one way in which we can help win the war is to eat less of the food which our armies will need in the field and more of the foods of which we have an abundance and to waste less of all foods. We must increase the exports of our food products made from milk. Use all of the milk. Waste no part of it. The children must have whole milk, therefore, use less cream. There is a great waste of food by not using all skim and sour milk. Sour milk can be used in cooking and to make cottage cheese. Use butter milk and cheese freely. The American people are not being asked to starve themselves. Eat plenty, but wisely, and without waste. But do your part to help save for the nation. POPULAR YOUNG COUPLE GIVEN SURPRISE PARTY Mr. and Mrs. Guy B. Evans, the popular young Fullerton and Anaheim couple, who were married the 11th of last month, and are domiciled on East Central in La Habra, were surprised with a party of friends Sunday afternoon. Music and informal fun took up a greater part of the time, Mrs. Evans favoring with vocal solos and Miss Aleida Heyling with piano numbers. Many useful and beautiful presents were showered on the happy host and hostess and luncheon was served late in the afternoon. Those who were present were Mr. and Mrs. John Kneip and family, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Nelesen, Mr. and Mrs. Alvin Gregg and family, Mr. and Mrs. Daniel Naugle and family, Mrs. Aleida Kneip, Mrs. Nellie Schooff, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Dyckman, Arthur Raymond, Elenora and Percy Dyckman of Anaheim, Mrs. Heyling and Miss Aleida Heyling of Los Angeles, and Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Evans, and children, Ethel and Mabel, of Fullerton. MEXICAN GIRL IS KILLED An accident which caused the death of Sarah Rodriguez, eight years of age, and nearly resulted in a small riot, occurred on the road just east of the Whittier pumping plant. The buckboard in which the little girl, her two brothers and her father were riding, was struck from the rear by an automobile truck owned by the Richfield Oil Company, and which was driven by A. L. Tower, of Los Angeles. The father and brothers escaped with a few scratches. The girl's relatives were camped but a few hundred yards from the scene of the accident. A score of Mexicans almost at once gathered around the driver of the truck and apparently taking an exaggerated view of his responsibility for the death of hte girl, threatened to mob him. Officers were called and hurried down to the wreck before any injury was inflicted upon Tower. S. Sepulveda, proprietor of the Ranchito store at "Jimtown" had fortunately come to Tower's rescue almost immediately after the accident and succeeded in motorcycles in Yosemite this order has been issued. The regulations governing motorcycle traffic will be issued in the near future. A generation ago it was not deemed a disgrace for old or young, rich or poor, to wear clothes or shoes that were still in fairly good condition, though patched in spots. To wear patched clothes was considered an evidence of both industry and thrift. But the vanity which dominates some of us and influences all of us has put patches out of style. An age of luxury has banished the simple precepts of economy taught in Poor Richard's Almanac. But perhaps the necessities growing out of war demands will revive old time practices. When our army in America as well as in Europe is in need of every pound of wool the country can spare, and when the allies are unable to get all the good clothes and shoes they need, probably earnest citizens of America, although financially able to buy new clothing, will wear the old a few months longer in order to help the cause. True patriotism may be evidenced by the wearing of a patch, no less than by wearing a bond-buyer's button. FRUIT GROWERS CONVENTION AT SACRAMENTO The announcement of the 30th fruit growers convention to be held at Sacramento November 21 to 23, just issued by G. H. Hecke, state commissioner of horticulture, indicates that it will be one of the most successful and instructive meetings ever held. The big feature of the program, to the deciduous fruit growers, will be a discussion of California Standardized Fruits and the auction market, led by Frank P. Ripley, president and manager of one of the big Boston Auction companies. The discussion of the subject is expected to be of particular interest in view of the new standardization laws which are now being enforced. The value of standardization from the salesman's standpoint will be enlarged upon. An excursion to the university farm at Davis on the second day of the convention will include a sight seeing tour, tractor demonstration, explanation of horticultural experiments and a contest in public speaking by students of horticulture. The third day of the convention will be given up to a discussion of the farmer's labor problems by the farmers themselves. The effect of the draft on the labor supply, possible sources of new labor and food produc- PRESIDENT WILSON URGES ORANGE SHOW Telegraphs Now is Not Time to Slow Up Business, but Time to Stimulate In a telegram from the White House received by the Eighth National Orange Show, is announced President Woodrow Wilson's urgent desire that the Orange Show continue as before and be held. The president declares that he "would regret to see neglected" any exposition devoted to the stimulation of business. The Orange Show officials telegraphed the President asking his attitude on the question of whether, owing to the war, the exposition should be postponed. The answer was signed by J. P. Tumulty, the president's secretary, and immediately on its receipt the executive committee repeated its resolution to continue with the exposition on February 20 to 28, and purchased $5002 in Liberty bonds. Following is the White House telegram: "The president would regret to see neglected any instrumentality which has proved serviceable in stimulating business and facilitating its progress. This is not a time for any slowing scene of the accident. A score of Mexicans almost at once gathered around the driver of the truck and apparently taking an exaggerated view of his responsibility for the death of hte girl, threatened to mob him. Officers were called and hurried down to the wreck before any injury was inflicted upon Tower. S. Sepulveda, proprietor of the Ranchito store at "Jimtown" had fortunately come to Tower's rescue almost immediately after the accident and succeeded in keeping the Mexicans from attacking him. The officers arrived on the scene at the critical moment." GRAMMAR SCHOOLS TO DEBATE FOR CHAMPIONSHIP Every County Expected to Enter the State Contest That on December 7 several hundred grammar and intermediate schools will hold their initial contest for the debating championship of California has just been announced by the University of California. The university's aim is to encourage young men to learn to be effective speakers and leaders in civic life. There will be separate district contests in every county and every city with a population exceeding 15,000. On March 15, division contests will be held, open to the winners of the district contests. The winners of the division contests will all come to the university in the spring, the expenses of both speakers and the faculty members accompanying them being paid by the university extension division, and at the university will take part in the state championship contest. Those who enroll in the public speaking league which the university has organized may compete also in an excursion to the university farm at Davis on the second day of the convention will include a sight seeing tour, tractor demonstration, explanation of horticultural experiments and a contest in public speaking by students of horticulture. The third day of the convention will be given up to a discussion of the farmer's labor problems by the farmers themselves. The effect of the draft on the labor supply, possible sources of new labor and food production as effected by the labor situation, will be discussed thoroughly and the findings of the meeting forwarded to the authorities. Entertainment will be provided by a large and well organized committee of the Sacramento chamber of commerce, who will see that the wives as well as the farmers are well entertained. There will be special rates on the railway and at the Sacramento hotels. TREASON RARE IN AMERICA Penalties of sedition are emphatically shown by the 20-year sentence just passed in an Iowa court upon D. H. Wallace for utterances made in the course of a lecture last July. The case will be taken, it is asserted, to the court of last resort. American jurisprudence has a slender line of decisions in matters of this sort. The precedents, happily are few upon which to base judgment; and we shall be fortunate if we can finish this war with no more cases of the sort than our other wars have produced. The inherent patriotism of the American people has served, hitherto, to save the pages of our history from the blot of treason's record; and there is no reason to believe that the American spirit has changed.
