WALNUT SALES SET RECORD State Growers' Association Crop Valued at $15,200,000 California's greatest year in walnut business was officially closed when the California Walnut Growers' Association held its annual meeting in Los Angeles. The 1925 harvest totaled 72,917,232 pounds, an increase of 34.8 per cent over the previous year's production. The estimated value of last year's production is $15,200,000. The association packed and marketed 60,072,280 pounds, there being about 48,160,170 pounds of merchantable un-shelled walnuts and approximately 12,000,000 pounds of culls which were shelled and packed as walnut meats. The organization handled $3.4 per cent of the state's output. The returns for walnuts handled by the association amounted to more than $12,500,000, of which about $1,000,000 was derived from shelled walnuts. The crop brought more money to the growers than any crop ever grown here, with the exception of one year, during the World war, when prices for all kinds of food commodities were exceedingly high. The value of the walnuts sold by the association last year was $3,605,630 greater than its returns during the 1924 season. Association officials are somewhat apprehensive concerning the future of the industry, owing to the serious competition afforded by heavy foreign imports, coupled with the gigantic domestic tonnage which is certain to develop as tens of thousands of acres of young plantings, which have been made in recent years, come into bearing. There already are more than 120,000 acres of walnuts in this state, and more than 40,000 acres are young groves which will be coming into rather heavy production within the next five years. It has been pointed out that in recent years the industry's prosperity Association officials are somewhat apprehensive concerning the future of the industry, owing to the serious competition afforded by heavy foreign imports, coupled with the gigantic domestic tonnage which is certain to develop as tens of thousands of acres of young plantings, which have been made in recent years, come into bearing. There already are more than 120,000 acres of walnuts in this state, and more than 40,000 acres are young groves which will be coming into rather heavy production within the next five years. It has been pointed out that in recent years the industry's prosperity has been due chiefly to high class salesmanship, careful management, and the unusually loyal support coupled with the strong spirit of co-operation manifested by the 4300 association growers. Some idea of the immensity of last year's production may be gathered from the fact that 800 growers made the most accurate crop reports that were possible, and yet the closest estimate was 14.7 per cent below the actual tonnage. The state packed and shipped 57,748,640 pounds of merchandise un-shelled walnuts, against a pack amounting to 42,810,000 pounds for 1924. California's unusually heavy production last year upset the best of market calculations, and added to the association's marketing problem was the fact that the walnut crops in foreign lands were about as much over-size as was the crop in California. As a result of unsettled conditions in Europe and Asia, the market for foreign walnuts in countries where they are usually sold broke down early in the fall and was demoralized before the holidays. This threw an overwhelming quantity of imports into the markets of the United States, in competition with California's heavy shipments, and association officials experienced one of the busiest years they have ever known, in keeping the goods moving through the channels of trade. That they were singularly successful in their merchandising is indicated by the fact that the report of Carlyle Thorpe, general manager, showed yesterday that actual operating expenses of the organization for the year, including inspection, legal, experimental, and field work, executive staff, rent, advertising, trade discount, brokerage and incidental items were reduced to 5 per cent of the f.o.b. value of goods shipped. Disbursement to the growers for 90 per cent of last year's production was made before the holidays, the majority of the money being remitted to the producer before November 20. An additional and unexpected payment amounting to about $200,000, representing final payment for first pool shipments, was authorized by the board of directors yesterday, and checks to cover this are now being made. No estimates of the probable size of the forthcoming crop can be made for at least another thirty days, but officials say the indications are that production will be very light, particularly in some of the most southerly counties of the state.

He was sent to Folsom after he had cashed a fictitious cheque for $2500 in a Santa Ana bank. A short time previously, he had been tried in superior court on a charge of attempting to cash a forged county warrant of approximately $3600. The jury disagreed at his trial and subsequently the charge was dismissed, together with a grand larceny charge, which alleged the theft of $10,000 from the county treasurer's office. Two Propositions For Harbor Relief Formation of Harbor District Eliminating Hostile Sections Following defeat of the harbor bonds, a movement has been started toward the establishment of a harbor district, comprising all but the third and fourth supervisor districts, which gave heavy majorities against the bonds. If this district is formed, an election will be immediately called for the authorization of half a million dollars in bonds to complete the work at the harbor's mouth. These three districts gave a vote of 9728 for proposition No. 1, and 2301 against, but the overwhelming opposition vote in the third and fourth districts defeated the bonds. Another proposition is the annexation of Costa Mesa to Newport Beach, and the issuance of municipal bonds to carry on the work. City Attorney Clyde Bishop has prepared a petition for circulation. The petition is directed to the city council of Newport Beach, and asks incorporation of the Costa Mesa section within the city limits of Newport Beach. In order to make the petition effective, it must be signed by 25 per cent of the registered voters. Later, an election will be held in the district to vote on the proposition of annexation. Following annexation, a bond proposition would be submitted. Pointing out that the present city of Newport Beach is now bonded to within 5 per cent of the 15 per cent of the assessed valuation permitted by law, Bishop said that by creating a municipal improvement district, and omitting a small portion of territory within the city limits of Newport Beach, it would be possible to again bond the city to 15 per cent of its assessed value. The movement for creation of the larger corporate limits was initiated Saturday afternoon, at a meeting of the city council of the beach city, when Bishop was instructed to prepare the petition. Immediate repair of the west jetty is considered by the beach community as absolutely necessary to continue use of the harbor by pleasure craft. It was pointed out that the matter of safety of vessels using the harbor was of paramount importance. FROM BAD TO WORSE The minister of a Scottish country parish, whose estimate of himself was not of the lowest, had accepted a call to a wider sphere, and was paying a few farewell visits. "So ye're gaunt tae leave us," said one of his oldest parishioners. "What will we dae noo?" "Oh, Mrs.Macfarlane," replied the minister, "ye'll soon get a far better man!" "Deed, sir, came the despondent rejoinder," I hae my doots. We've had five in my time, and every one o' them has been worse than the last!" teacher, Ed Salters, at his home Saturday night. When Mr. Salters had recovered from his surprise, Paul Horn, chief ranger, presented him with a beautiful floor lamp as a token of the love and respect the boys have for him. Mr. Salters will be married Thursday, June 17, to Miss Marjorie Stevens of Fullerton. Miss Mary Berckhan and Miss Beth Thorne of Los Angeles were Saturday night visitors at the L.E. Berksey home. On Sunday Mrs. Berksey, Stanley and Elizabeth Berksey and their guests motored to Palm Springs. Mrs. L.J. Robeson will leave Tuesday evening for a visit to relatives in Pittsburgh.

Wheatley, former Santa Ana newspaperman, who was sentenced to Folsom last year, after pleading guilty to a charge of passing a fictitious check, has received a sentence of five years, according to word received from Thomas Gannon, member of the state board of prison directors. Under the state law, the exact length of sentence is fixed by the prison board. Wheatley, being a "second termer," will not be eligible for parole until he has served two years, although he was granted a full pardon by former Governor Stephens in connection with the check charge for which he served a first term a few years ago. He has now served slightly more than a year corporation of the Costa Mesa section within the city limits of Newport Beach. In order to make the petition effective, it must be signed by 25 per cent of the registered voters. Later, an election will be held in the district to vote on the proposition of annexation. Following annexation, a bond proposition would be submitted. Pointing out that the present city of Newport, haem is now bonded to within 5 per cent of the 15 per cent of the assessed valuation permitted by law, Bishop said that by creating a municipal improvement district, and omitting a small portion of territory within the minister of a Scottish country parish, whose estimate of himself was not of the lowest, had accepted a call to a wider sphere, and was paying a few farewell visits.
