ANAHEIM SHIPS 3 CARS OF WALNUTS Three cars of walnuts were shipped this week by the Anaheim Walnut Growers' association and 800 sacks will go out by steamer from San Pedro early next week. Walter Ross, acting secretary-manager of the association, said today. Shipments are expected to increase slowly from now on. Of the 800 sacks, 600 averaged 92 per cent, A-1 Secretary Ross said. This is better than many associations are finding their budded nuts, which must average 90 per cent to get by. M. E. Meeks of Los Angeles is the inspector for this district of the California Walnut Growers' Association, which includes Fullerton, Anaheim, Garden Grove, Orange and the Santa Ana house of the Orange County Walnut Growers' Association. When shipments begin to get under full way Meeks is likely to need an assistant, is Secretary Ross' opinion. The season is 10 days later than last year. Pickers are difficult to get, but the associations are not experimenting much trouble. In some instances, however, nuts are thick upon the ground, and if the ground is damp from irrigation or rain comes on there will be loss.
