WALNUT CROP WILL PAY GROWERS $13,000,000 More Than 46,000,000 Pounds Will Be Marketed. The 1920 walnut crop of California will amount to not less than 46,000,000 pounds, valued at from $10,000,000 to $13,000,000, according to W. T. Webber, secretary of the California Walnut Growers' Association. He said it was believed shelled walnuts and by-products of walnut shells would bring the growers from $1,000,-000 to $2,000,000 more. Complete figures are not available because the harvest has just begun. The association's marketing system is said to give the consumer the walnuts at an advance of 35 per cent more than the producer receives for them in comparison, according to Carlyle Thorpe, general manager, with the 65 per cent more than the producer receives that the consumer pays for the average product. Mr. Thorpe stated his belief that the recent drop in sugar prices and possibility for still greater decreases will increase the use of walnuts in candies and confections in general. SUGAR BEET GROWERS IN CONFERENCE AT BERKELEY Uniform Contracts For Beets In The State Urged. A conference of Sugar beet growers, representing Orange, Los Angeles, Ventura, Santa Barbara, San Bonita, Monterey, Alameda and Sacramento counties was held at Berkeley, September 13th at the instigation of the California Farm Bureau Federation. The general purpose of the meeting as outlined by the Secretary referred toained and held together until county and state organizations of sugar beet growers are fully perfected, and that other counties not now represented be solicited to have representation and take part in all activities. The conference then took up the consideration of a uniform contract for the state, special consideration being given to sliding scale contracts force in Southern California. It was duly moved and carried that the contract for in present use by the American Beet Sugar Company be adopted with the following modifications and additions. Paragraph 2 of the contract to read as follows: 2. Recleaned seed free from obnoxious weed seeds and of not less than 80 per cent germination, will be furnished by the Company at $—— cents ($——) per lb. and none other shall be used. Seed furnished by the Company shall not be planted upon any land not covered by this contract; and seed furnished and not planted shall be returned in good order to the Company and the Grower credited therefor. In paragraph 4 of the American Beet Sugar Company contract the word "Southern" be eliminated. In added paragraph 10 to be inserted as follows: It is mutually agreed that for the support and maintenance of the County Farm Bureau Department there shall be deducted by the Company an annual assessment charge in the sum of 5 cents per ton on all beets delivered by the Grower and such sum after deduction shall be paid into the Treasury of the County Farm Bureau Beet Growers Department.

A conference of Sugar beet growers, representing Orange, Los Angeles, Ventura, Santa Barbara, San Bonita, Monterey, Alameda and Sacramento counties was held at Berkeley, September 13th at the instigation of the California Farm Bureau Federation. The general purpose of the meeting as outlined by the Secretary referred to a more comprehensive development of the sugar beet growing industry of the state, the need for a departmental organization of growers, a better understanding of economic conditions effecting the sugar beet industry, the acquirement of highest grade beet seed only, and more uniformity and equity in grower contracts. It was reviewed that growers in Utah, Idaho, and Colorado beet raising sections were successfully co-operating for better growers contracts with Sugar companies and that ultimately an interstate organization among growers might be expected. The interest of the California Farm Bureau Federation in the best growing industry it was explained referred primarily to the giving of service which would enable growers to get together for the betterment of the industry in all its phases. Professor R. L. Adam of the Division of Farm Bureau Management addressed the conference on the general subject of production, and conditions under which growers in the state are operating. A review of growers contracts in force in the state was presented together with comparisons on returns to the farmer. Charts were presented at the meeting showing the comparative returns to the grower based on a sliding scale of sugar content and price of sugar. Contracts from various factories of the state were produced and it was shown that for the same grade of beets material difference in price is often obtained by the grower at the present time. Following the address by Prof. Adams a general discussion of prevailing contracts and practices ensued. Among other matters the discussion indicated: a. That growers preferred payment for beets on a sliding scale based on sugar content in the beet and the variable price of sugar. b. That scale weight at delivery points were desired in preference to weighing of beets in cars. That Grower's Sugar Testing support and maintenance of the County Farm Bureau Department there shall be deducted by the Company an annual assessment charge in the sum of 5 cents per ton on all beets delivered by the Grower and such sum after deduction shall be paid into the Treasury of the County Farm Bureau Beet Growers Department. (Any sums deducted as above and remaining in the Treasury at the close of the season of 192—shall be prorated to the Grower on the basis of tonnage of beets delivered.) An added paragraph 111 to be inserted as follows: Disagreement between Grower and Factory in the fulfillment of this contract or any portion thereof shall be arbitrated between duly appointed representatives of the County Farm Bureau Beet Growers Department and Factory representatives. It was moved by Hart that the American Beet Sugar Company contract as above reviewed and amended be the contract form adopted as expressing the sentiment of the committee (conference) present, and that a committee be appointed to take up the acceptance of this contract by the American Beet Sugar Company at Oxnard, and also get into touch with other beet sugar companies for its acceptance and adoption by such companies for the 1921 season. Motion duly seconded and adopted. THE WORLD'S PRODUCTION OF GOLD The United States geological survey has given out some preliminary figures showing the production of gold throughout the world in 1919. The production in the United States was $58,285,196; Canada is reported to have produced $14,687,000; India, $10,128,000; Australia (not including New Zealand or the islands), $29,268,000; the Transvaal, $171,640,123; Rhodesia and West Africa, $18,631,070. There was probably a large decrease in the production of gold in Russia and Siberia in 1919. Some increase was probably made in the output of Control America and South America, which, however, was doubtless offset by decreases in the output of other countries. The incomplete returns now available indicate that the world's production of gold in 1919 was between $345,000,000 and $350,060,000. The world's production in 1918 amounted to $380,924,500.

Mellilotus Indicata favored cover crop Seed can be purchased per pound and 15 will sow an acre or two. The best method us is to sow 10% of the cultivated orchid row in. Then furrow Following the address by Prof. Adams a general discussion of prevailing contracts and practices ensued. Among other matters the discussion indicated: a. That growers preferred payment for beets on a sliding scale based on sugar content in the beet and the variable price of sugar. b. That scale weight at delivery points were desired in preference to weighing of beets in cars. c. That Growers' Sugar Testing Laboratories were desirable to better learn field and selling conditions. d. That effort should be made for using uniformly clean and viable seed free from morning-glory and obnoxious weeds. e. That more uniformity in wage scale for standard culture operations be sought. f. That information for growers be obtained with reference to European sugar supplies and stock on hand. g. That departmental organization properly financed be perfected in counties through the County Farm Bureau and through the state farm bureau federation. h. That uniform growers contract for the state be presented. The following resolution was presented by Mr. Dougherty: Moved that the Secretary request an immediate vestigation by the American Farm Bureau Federation relative to the status of sugar production in beet sugar districts of Europe for the year 1921. Duly seconded and carried. The following resolution was adopted by the Conference: Moved that this body be and represent the Beet Growers Department of the Farm Bureau, and that it take charge of the beet growers interest, draw up a beet growers contract, and be re- NEW BEAN THRESHER The success with which a pick-up bean thresher is being operated on the San Joaquin ranch probably means a revolution in the methods of harvesting beans here. Apparently the cost of threshing will be reduced at least one-third the cost by stationary thresher. The ANAHEIM GAZETTE pick-up machine to a large extent may solve the threshing crew labor problem, just as the side-delivery rakes are solving the labor problem at bean-cutting time. For years the only method of harvesting used in the lima bean fields of this country has been as follows: Beans are cut by a cutter pulled by horses or mules, two rows being cut at a time. Beans are piled by men with pitchforks. A thresher is established at some central location on a field, and beans are thrown into this method calls for big crews of wagons and hauled to the thresher, men at threshing time, as well as for the use of a lot of stock. The larger thresher often employ fifty men for its operation, including the forkers and teamsters. The cost for the threshing by this method this year is running from $1 t o $1.50 a snack. The cost per sack is high because the yield per acre is not heavy. In addition to this the farmer has to furnish hay and grain for the stock used in threshing, and that costs him from $60 to $100 for each 100 acres of beans. Pick-up threshers have been used in Ventura county to a limited extent. Last year a group of farmers from the Irvine ranch here saw one of these in operation, and were convinced that the machines would work well on the level fields in this county. Thus came initial steps in equipping a pick-up thresher that has been operating this season on the Irvine ranch. In preparation for threshing by the pick-up machine, beans were cut and left in windrows. Piling by hand proved unnecessary. Side-delivery rakes were used to throw four growing rows at a time. These four with four others would then be rolled. Thus eight rows from each side were Fair, to be held at Riverside October 13-19. "I am offering a five dollar cash prize for the largest Orange county pumpkin and five dollars for the largest squash," said McDanald. "These prizes will be awarded at the Orange County Fair, then I want to take the 'whoppers' to display at the Riverside fair." COX HELPING THE REPULICANS. Gov. Cox did the republican party a service when he "exposed" its campaign fund. The record of the hearings before the investigating committee of the United States senate is proving the best advertisement for the republican party that it could have. The witnesses have testified under examination by a bi-partisan committee composed of men of unassailable integrity that such monies as the republican national committee has in sight have been subscribed in small amounts, some as small as 25 cents. The republican campaign fund has been made up by the rank and file, the average people of the United States, those who have suffered most from the ineptitude of the Wilson administrations and who will benefit most by a change. Cox has done his opponents a great service. SIDE TALKS WITH CANDIDATES When up against a losing game that perils your survival just try to find some sort of blame to fasten on your rival.
