LOWER RATES TOO LATE FOR '21 CROP Orange-co and other growers of walnuts in Calif. will not benefit by a decrease in the freight rate on walnuts festive Nov. 2 and amounting to $4½ cents per lb bounds to Eastern markets except points south of the Ohio and Potomac Rivera. The reduction is from $2.35% to $1.75 on edible nuts in the shell. Wholesalers will reap the benefit of the decline in the rate. With all the crop contracted to wholesalers at 7 o. h. prices there is no chance for growers to benefit by the reduced freight rate. It is estimated that there is not more than 15 per cent of the state crop to be shipped out unde the new rate. The California walnut crop has been oversold according to Harry Lewis of Santa Ana, member of the board of directors of the California Walnut Growers association. He states that both the association and independent shipers have sold more nuts than they may be able to deliver. The crop is falling short of the estimate in the early part of the season. The association nsold 89 per cent of its crop at opening prices. Recently an advantage of 2½ cents was made on 10 per cent; it is believed that the tonnage sold in the 99 per cent of the estimated crop will absorb all the production of this year and that there will be no nuts left upon which a higher price may be made. The advance of 2½ cents on 10 per cent of the crop is the equivalent of an increase of one-fourth of a cent per pound on the entire pool, amounting to approximately $100,000. The advertising appropriation of the association for this year was $200,000 and the increase will pay half of this cost. The increase was made on No. 1 and Diamond brand buds, all No. 2's having been sold at the opening price. Wholesalers report that the Eastern trade is very optimistic as to the demand for walnuts and they predict quick disposition of the crop. The association is not taking orders now and will take no more until it is definitely determined whether there will be any more to sell, after filling contracts with wholesalers.

Cities Urged to Remove D By Municipal Co Do you want a bread line like this in your town all winter? This scene on the streets of New York is typical of what may happen through the United States, and happen soon, unless the whole nation; through its municipalities, organizes to ward off the unemployment crisis, conservatively estimated as likely to affect 4,000,000 men and their families.

This was the gist of an address before the Santa Ana Klwanis club by Ben Dupuy, city engineer of Fullerton. Nat Neff, superintendent of road maintenance in Orange-co, was chairman of the meeting. "Problems of Orange-co," was the subject of Dupuy's address. Dupuy discussed the sewage problem, dealing largely with experiences in Fullerton. He declared that if the cities and sanitary engineers make sewage treatment plants clean, and keep them clean, keep the water clear and free from odor, the sewage problems of Orange-co would be easily solved. "The question is often asked: 'Can a sewage treatment plant be made to pay running expenses?' I have never run or heard of one that has. In theory the value of the fertilizer obtained from a sewage treatment plant is very great. When you come to sell it, however, the market is limited. "The sludge of American sewage contains a high percentage of hair matches, paper, rubber, oil and other waste which is not good fertilizers. The water obtained from a sewage treatment plant is rich in fertilizer but in most plants the area covered is limited and as a result the ground is over-fertilized. "I have never been able to sell water for fertilizer, but I believe that after a few experiences such as we have had during the past summer the farmers will see the immense value of treated sewage waste and will be willing to pay for it." "I know that treated water would fertilize sandy land and make it produce wonderful crops. Our experiences of placing it on adobe soil and producing a greatly increased crop of sugar beets was a sunrise to me. Thousands of acres of washed and sandy land are hungry for the elements contained in..." Nationally, many moves have been made by the Government to relieve the situation. Herbert Hoover, Secretary of Commerce and chairman of the President's Unemployment Conference, has conferred with the heads of the nation's major industries and has secured pledges of cooperation. Legislation looking toward permanent betterment of conditions was recommended by the conference, and specific subjects for such legislation were pointed out. Every element of the national conference agreed, however, that municipal action is the real hope so far as the emergency is concerned. Mayors and members of municipal function in the Department of Commerce as a coordinating agency for the ideas and action of local units. There can be no crisis in peace-time more deserving of every man's brains and energy than this present unemployment situation. Colonel Woods said in a recent address, "and the only solution is for the nation to rise to the emergency as it did in the crucial days of the war. The bureau in Washington is going to devote itself to practical suggestion and coordination, not theory; and we hope the country will use it freely. This drive is one that no citizen and no community can afford to neglect." SPREAD NET TO NAB BIG CARGO OF RUM LOS ANGELES.

PROBLEM "The migratory laborer furnishes the greatest problem in attendance that the schools of California have to face," declared Miss Georgiana Car-den, state supervisor of attendance. On a tour of inspection of methods used to enforce attendance, Miss Car-den has been in conference with W.C. Roberts, county supervisor of attendance. Roberts informed her that the greatest problem in attendance in this county is also that brought about by the migratory laborer—the Mexi-can who moves about from place to place. Miss Car-den said that the state has established a migratory school. It was started at Staticoy and sixty-two children of Mexican valint pickers go to school there. When the season is over, the school teacher will go to some other place where migratory people are at work on a crop. "We are trying out the system to see what can be done," said Miss Car-den, "to keep the children of these laborers in school." UNEMPLOYED PAID TO TAKE FREE MEAL SAN JOSE, Oct. 27.—Unemployed are not necessarily hungry. This was proved by a local restaurant man who tried an experiment at the state employment bureau here today. The restauranteur had Tom Graham in charge of the agency, announce that a free meal would be donated to any who cared to take advantage of the offer. The announcement was made about 2 o'clock in the afternoon and there were about two dozen men present. Not one of them responded. All had eaten at midday. SINN FEIN REFUSE TO TAKE DOWN FLAG LONDON, Oct. 27.—The Sinn Fein delegation to the Irish peace conference has refused to take down the Irish republican flag from their headquarters in Cadogan square. The premier made a personal request, comparing the public flying of the Sinn Fein flag with similar use of the German flag at Versailles during the peace conference. Michael Collins replied, hotly resenting the comparison. HEAVY FOGS HALT CITRUS FUMIGATING The particular deity who governs the fogs is on the black list of the citrus growers. Upsetting the carefully laid plans of the growers and halting the work of fumigation crews is something in which this particular Lord o' the Mist seems to glory. In fact, growers declare, whether conditions are worse than any other time during the last decade and the work of fumigating Orange-co citrus groves is practically at a standstill. Only about one fourth of the work has been accomplished. Deputy Horticultural Commissioner George W. Sloop explains this. Fogs and the consequent atmospheric density cause the fumigating tents to tighten, closing the "pores" of the fabric, he says. When this occurs an overcharge of fumigating gas may result and the leaves and fruit of the trees may be burned. At this time last year, says Sloop, one-half of the work of eradicating scales had been completed. Some idea of the magnitude of the task confronting citrus growers may be gained when it is considered that once a year every tree in every grove in the county must be covered with a tent, treated with a "shot" of gas and allowed to remain covered for an hour. CLAIMS PASTOR HAD NO ENEMIES LEAD, S.D., Oct. 27.—The authorities today were without a single clue as to the identity of the slayer of Father A.B. Belknap, pastor of St. Patrick's cathedral here, whose body was found early Wednesday on Poor Man's gulch highway, just beyond the city limits. A bullet from a large caliber revolver had pierced the priest's heart. Bloodbounds summoned from the state prison are expected to arrive here shortly and they will be put on the trail of the murderer. Relatives of Father Belknap could advance no theory. They said the young priest had no enemies.
