California Will Have 70 Percent Walnut Crop 1930 Unofficial advices from the trade Indicate that It now appears that tbo walnut crop in uaiuorma trill run about 70 per cent of last year's output. Average size of nuts Is large, quality should be excell ent, and harvest will be late. A large percentage of the crop will un to budded and fancy varieties iir . There will be a tartar f No. 1. babies and medium size nuts In all varieties tWalnut trees set their fruit two to six weeks later than normal kut' much of this time has been regained by rapid growth during sin excellent season. Starting of the harvest, however, will be ir regular with deliveries In volume from ten days to two weeks later fcan normal. The old style walnut curing by sun drying methods took a week to ten days. This Is practically all done now by de hydrators which- do the work, re gardless of weather, in 24 to 36 hours. The. Walnut association ays that the crop of No. 1 nuts Is diminishing yearly and the trade must turn to budded and fancy varieties for a large part of their supplies. They plan this year to price these varieties the same, or buy slightly higher than No. Is. The opening price will be an nounced early in October. It is believed that, though economic and trading conditions will be carefully considered, price -dp e to the short crop will be no doubt :. higher than last year. The 1929 walnuts remaining 4n storage are heavy to Ho i and large budded, as well as a small quantity, of Emeald large and fancy ; Fran- - iquettes.

Carl and her pet calf. The calf Is one of the pure bred Guernseys from the Carl herd. Miss Virginia, declares that milk from "Golden Guernseys" is the beet food for young folks (and grown-wps too, for that matter). Herman Carl Guernsey Farm Shows What Hard Work' and Good Management Achieved By MAUD BIDGOOD HUBBARD, Sept. 6 Where now the lovely Carl Guernsey farm home stands surrounded by large fields and beautiful green paw res was only 15 years ago all a tangle of trees, brush and logs. The owners. Mr. and Mrs. Her man L. Carl, moved In March of 1915 from Norway In Coos coun ty where they had had 10 years of experience in the dairy business to this 240-aere farm which Is a part of the old Dimick land grant two and one-half miles southeast of Hubbard. They had to clear a spot to set a tent in which to live as there were neither buildings nor fences on the place. They lived in the tent both summer and winter for three years of which Mrs. Carl said, "We were quite comfortable and never enjoyed better health in our lives." At this time they bought a team, wagon and plow, eight grade cows and a pure-bred Guernsey bull, and resolutely set out to perfect an ideal dairy farm. They foresaw that the farm had naural resources that properly .developed would be unsurpassed1 for the dairy business upland for the farmstead, lowland for the Pasture. Of the 240-acres in the farm, 50 acres are upland and the re mainder river bottom land mostly beaverdam. When the Carls took possession not a foot of the up land was cleared and only a few acres of the lowland. Now 150 acres are under plow, modern buildings erected and the place stocked with a fine herd of Guern seys Including 40 milch cows, 12 of which are pure bred, many head of young stock and a regis tered Guernsey bull. Theirs Is a story of an endur ance test of persistent hard work and careful management which with the selection of good stock has placed them on a sound fin ancial basis in the dairy Industry and crowned their efforts with success.- Knew Tliclr Faces Mr. and Mrs. Carl hired one man the year around, otherwise they do the work alone they and their two sons, Marlon age 14, and Manton age 13, and their little daughter, Virginia, who before she could count knew when she had all the calves in the barn "by their faces" as she emphatically explained when questioned as to how she could tell the right num ber. This vear Mr. Carl cleared and tiled 30 acres, two-thirds of which he plowed and put in crop. The other third 'was cleared too late for plowing. He used 1000 feet of 12 inch tiling, 600 feet of 10 Inch, 800 feet of 8 inch, 2000 feet of 6 inch and 1000 feet of 5 inch. Be cause of the number of acres cleared he expects to increase his herd at least one-third next year Feed Is Raised The principal crops grown on the Carl farm are alfalfa, corn, oats, and canary grass, the latter remaining green all summer. The corn is grown every year for the silo and the -canary grass on the lowland for pasture seven months of the year. For several years Mr. and Mrs. Carl have raised every thing for their cattle except the grain feed but this year they have a crop of about 500 bushels of oats and It is their plan to re duce the cost of dairying by their own farm production of food both roughage and concentrated. A tractor has replaced horses for much of the work on the farm. The eows. are taken oft the pas tare about the first of November, then kept in the barn all win ter and fed three times daily.' Ex cept on extremely stormy days, they are turned out for a few hours after noon for exercise dur ing the winter months. Dairy Plant Modern The Carl dairy plant Includes milking machines, bottling . and Ice plant, and a large separator run by electricity. All the bottles are sterilized with steam and the milk cooled before, sent to the Portland retail market. Carl sells the bottled raw milk which la hauled from the farm to the city by -the Damascus mulk company. In compliance .with the retail ers' demands the' Carl . herd Is tested each year for tuberculosis and abortion.

Forty years ago, says Dr. C. A. Cary, head of the vet erinary school at Alabama Polytechnic Institute, treat ment of work animals was the main work of veterin arians. New demands have been made, nowever, and they are busy now eradicating cattle ticks, bovine tubercu losis, hog cholera, anthrax, blackleg and septicaemia. It Is piped to he house, barn and milk plant. All the buildings are lighted by electricity. Mr. and Mrs. Carl belong to the Marion County Guernsey dub of which Mrs. carl has been secre tary for three years. They are also members of the Oregon Guernsey cattle club. While most of their time and efforts are spent in developing and maintaining their farm yet aar. ana Mrs. uari both lind time to take active part In Hubbard's community life. Mr. Carl is chair man of the Hubbard school board and a member of the Hubbard commercial club, while Mrs. Carl not only is an active member of the Hubbard Woman's club but also lends a hand to anv nrolect that Is for the good of the com munity.

Calcinm chlorate wrlch is sold under the trade name of atlacide Is the least dangerous of these chemicals to handle both to the man doing the work and from the standpoint of fire hazard after ward. On the other hand sodium chlorate costs a little less and goes a little farther. Several deal ers In the county have put in stocks of these chemicals for the use of farmers. Excellent results hare been ob tained where wild rose bushes and morning glory have been sprayed. inw TILK OF E SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 6. (AP) Lees than an hour after he delivered an Inspirational talk over the radio, Dudley Ayres, 40-year-old actor and radio speaker, shot and killed himself here to day. He was afraid he was losing his mind, he told his wife in a sui cide note. Ayres' radio message was one of cheer given to encourage the un fortunate and sick. Friends who worked with him at station EYA, where he was di rector of speaking broadcasting, said he recently remarked that his daily inspirational talk "is driving me crazy." Ayres shot himself through the head In the garage of his apart ment house. Fumes from the run ning motor fo his car had filled the garage when bis body was dis covered. He was born In Iowa In 1890, moving with his parents to Taco ma, Wash., at the age of three. He began his stage career In a Tacoma high school. He was leading man at the Old Castle Square theatre In Boston, later at the Majestic In Los An geles and at the Alcazar theatre ("here. For some time he was con nected with the Henry Duffy play ers, Milk Co-op Brings High Prices to Dairy Farmers QUINCY, 111., (AP) Quincy's co-operative milk producers' asso ciation sells milk to consumers at 10 cents a quart and pays Its members better prices than they get from independent dealers. Last year 95 Producers near Qulncy sold all their milk to the cooperative and the total business was about 2250,000. These 95 farmers shared In the splitup of a 14,000, surplus at the end of the year and 92 of them, as stock holders, received the regular six percent dividend. - Producers were paid from $2.40 to $2.70 per 100 pounds for milk testing 3.5 percent butter fat, wlth 'a sliding scale for milk of higher test. This did not In clude the surplus split-up or the dividends. if Sill The Diversified Interests of Willamette Valley NEW BERRY IS FOUND e Dell Harrington of Stayton U the Producer FLiA VOR IS UNIQUE Eight years of patient labor on the part of Dell Harrington of Stayton hare been rewarded in what official at the Stayton can nery term, The best canning blackberry that we hare found so tar." The advantages of the berry It appears, are that Its flavor is su perior to that of the evergreen but that it is more firm and stands up better than the Hlmal ya or Lawton. Having sampled the berry we are willing to vouch for its excellent flavor. It Is en tirely free from the sickiah sweet ness of the evergreen, the seeds are small as is the core of the berry and it is very Juicy. Accordlngto Mr. Harrington he found a wild berry in the field that he recognised as "something different" and through successive years he budded this Tine with other types of berry until the present type was secured. He alls his product "Dells 8weet" and now has two and one-half acres under cultivation. The remarkable thing about the berry is its enormous yield per acre. This year's crop is es timated at 16 tons per acre. Of course Mr. Harrington irlgates his bery fields and thus gains a much heavier yield but so far as has been discovered no other va riety will produce so heavily, ev en under irrigation. PORTLAND, Ore., Sept. C (AP) Sidney Payne, finger print expert for the Portland po lice, bureau, today identified Don Nacker, alleged murderer of Fred Dunbar, Klamath Falls, as a de serter from the United States na vy.

Spain supplies more than 51 per cent of the onions Imported into the United States. Imports from that country during the five years 1925-1929 averaged 1,004, 000 bushels annually as compared with an average of 388,000 bush els annually during the five years 1909-13. Two varieties of onions are grown for export purposes In Spain, the "babosa," and the "granos." The "babosa," an early variety. Is ready for shipment in May. It is a large flat onion, white in color, rather strong In flavor and a very poor keeper. Only rela tively small quantities of this var iety are shipped to the American market because of its poor keep ing qualities. The United King dom, however, hi an imnnrton importer of the "babosa" varietv The "grano" onion, which con stitutes over 90 per cent of the Spanish onions Imported Into the United States, is ready for ship ment laie in July. This onion Is neany spherical In shape, light yellow in color, mild flavored and a very good keener.

O. BIBCOCK TO BE HONORED Inventor of Babcock Milk Test to Receive Capper Medal MADISON, Wis., (AP) He gave millions to agriculture and got a medal. That will tell the story of Dr. Stephen Moulon Babcock when he receives the first Capper medal for "distinguished service to agri culture" October 9. It was Dr. Babcock who eaused a revolution in the dairy Industry 40 years ago by announcing the formula that made it possible for anyone to determnie the butterfaf content of mrlk. And in the same breath this man, who then was assistant di rector of the Wisconsin experi ment station, refused the millions in royalties that eouldhave been his for the asking. "ThJt patent." he declared, "shall be given to the 'world for-t anyone to use without payment or hindrance of any kind." Many honors have been his. both abroad and In his own coun try, and now in his 85 th year Dr. Babcock will receive an award proclaiming him the most out standing benefactor of agricul ture. The Babcock test definitely took the water bucket out of he dairy farmer's equipment. Prior to its Invention milk was paid for by weight or measure, and creamer ies had no way to determine the amount of butterfat it contained. . In the Babcock test acid Is add ed to milk samples and the mix ture whirled at high speed. Cen trifugal force causes butterfat to rise in the graduated neck of test milk and fat. Almost as well known as his butterfat tests Is the cold-curing process which Is the foundation of the cheese Industry. Dr. Bab cock helped work out this method. Sen. Arthur Capper of Kansas is the donor of the gold medal to b presented to Dr. Babcock at the American country life conference at Madison October 9 and 10. He plans to award a medal each year to the person performing an out standing service to agriculture. Angler Catches Six Fish in one SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. .
