Hopes to Clean Up 1930 Walnut Crop Carlyle Thorpe Tells 300 Growers of Conditions of the American Market DEPRESSION A HANDICAP But Standard Prices Have Been Maintained Hopes of cleaning up the walnut crop of 1930 in the Anaheim district was the message which Carlyle Thorpe, general manager of the California Walnut Growers' Association, brought to the 300 members of the organization who held their convention in this city last Saturday. Greeted By Depression Mr. Thorpe returned the day before the meeting from a seven weeks' trip to many walnut marketing centers over the United States and told the growers in detail of conditions which he found in the consuming markets. "In view of the depression which greets us on all sides, I feel that we have done unusually well in the distribution of our crop," Thorpe declared. "We have completely sold out our cracked nuts, which, however, are sold at the buyer's option for delivery up to September 1 so that we can hope to receive returns on this commodity by September 15. Since the expenses of cans, labor and freight was cared for in the earlier payments, all the money coming in from the cracked nuts from this time on will be net and ready for distribution." Highest Priced Product While food and fruit prices have been dropping all over the country, he said, the price on walnuts has been standardized, and they are now the medical men were unable to determine the cause of the illness, and even had they been able to do nothing could have been done, Dr. John W. Truxaw, one of the attending physicians said. In the meantime paralysis has begun to affect the feet and legs of Mrs. Kelsay and her eldest son, quite severely. The poison is said by the doctors to be progressive in its effect, starting with the feet. Whether death finally results depends upon the amount of the poison taken into the system and the resistance of the individual. Mr. Kelsay and the younger Kelsay boy were only slightly affected. An autopsy was ordered by Coroner Charles D. Brown. Pending the outcome of the examination no inquiry was ordered. Lived In a Dugout Fifty Years Ago From a pioneer dugout on a Nebraska homestead to a comfortable home in Anaheim spans the domestic life of Mr. and Mrs. Leroy Leep, who celebrated their golden wedding anniversary on March 1, at their home at 217 South Clemlintine street, many of their friends participating in the jubilee. It was in 1881 that this bridal pair went to a log court house in West Union, Nebraska, for their marriage license; the bride then being Miss Lavantia Marsh. After the license was obtained, it was something else to find some one with authority to tie a nuptial knot. The nearest railway was 100 miles away, circuit-riding parsons seldom came, so young Leep, mounted on a horse, rode through a blizzard, routed out a justice of the peace, and on horseback two rode to the Marsh home—another dug-out of the bride's sturdy, pioneering harents. The bride had for a wedding gown a brown cotton dress. The wedding cake was a plain creation made by the bride's mother with sour milk, but for quality and toothsomeness was thought superior to the anniversary cake cut last Sunday—an imposing affair of three tiers, gorgeously decorated. The celebrants told their guests that on April 1, 1881, they began married March 10 and 11, after D. Halm, chairman department of the C Bureau.

Assistant H The Farm Advanged a series of articles on March 11 andungs the outlook commodity will Highest Priced Product While food and fruit prices have been dropping all over the country, he said, the price on walnuts has been standardized, and they are now the highest priced products in American grocery stores. Keeping up the walnut price, he said, has been the chief hope of the walnut industry and it has saved the market from demolization. "But to create any interest in our walnuts," Mr. Thorpe said, "we have been forced to make the most liberal of credit terms, since we must let our customers operate on our capital. I personally feel that this is a better policy than to allow our nuts to lay in the warehouse whereby are doing no one any good. Our average sale for the past three months has been over 500 bags daily, and I am confident that the 1930 crop will be disposed of before the new crop is available." One-Tenth Unsold Since January 1, the association has sold 15,000 bags, leaving approximately one-tenth of the crop unsold, the manager said, which he considers a better situation than faced the association last year. Members of the association, Mr. Thorpe said, might expect final payments on the 1930 crop some time next September, and it will likely be next April before payment is received on culls.

The bride had for a wedding gown a brown cotton dress. The wedding cake was a plain creation made by the bride's mother with sour milk, but for quality and toothsomeness was thought superior to the anniversary cake cut last Sunday—an imposing affair of three tiers, gorgeously decorated. The celebrants told their guests that on April 1, 1881, they began married life in their first home, dug out of the soil and covered with sod on a homestead of 160 acres, only eight of which had been cleared. For the first few years there was only a team of oxen and a wagon for use on the farm, and these were shared with less prosperous homesteaders of the neighborhood. Mail reached the Leep dugout once a week and at times missed a week. Health preservation was an essential for there were no physicians available. The Nebraska homestead is still in the family, managed by a son, Mr. and Mrs. Leep have two daughters in Anaheim, Mrs. Edna G. Yorba and Mrs. Bertha Lakeman. There are 12 grandchildren. It was in August, 1916, that Mr. and Mrs. Leep became Californias in their present home. Outlook reports over the world.
