NEW YEAR'S GIFT FOR NUT GROWERS A pleasing New Year's gift is being received by members of the Anahein Walnut Growers Ass'n., Manager Walter Ross mailing out the last call money on the crop of last year. It is one-half cent per pound, bringing the total received for culls in that crop up to 14 cents, a good price. There were more culls in the recent crop and Ross does not expect expect they will bring the grower more than 10 cents. Because of the large number of culls, many growers outside the association have found the independent buyers, to whom they have been accustomed to sell their product, refusing to take the culls. Furthermore, Ross says, a number of growers who sold to independents haven't got any returns yet, tho it is a boast of the independents that they pay before the association.
