SALEM, OREGON THAN PARLIAMENT, f j TO BE CHANGED The California Walnut Growers aH.sociat Ion's circular No. 1 for the season of 11124 was recently put out and among tho important state ments of interest to the trade in tho announcement that a change in nomonelaturo will hereafter prcvnll. The No. 2 grade of soft fihell walnutH will be known In the future n "Kaby" soft shells. As No. 2 grade in soft shells has been a size rather thnn a quality grade, the association feels that thin ehnngo is needed, inasmuch as sonic seem to feel that No. 2 al ways means a second quality. Other Important announce ments arc made In the circular, one of which is the additUn of two new local associations to the ranks of tho California Walnut Growers association. Since last season's crop the Golden Pelt Fruit Co. ef Kullerton and the Riverside Wal nut Growers association of River side have affiliated with the state organization. Out of last season's erop the California Walnut Grow ers association handled 81.3 per ccm or me total crop or the state. With these two additions, the as sociation advises that It should hnndle In 1924 at least 96 per cent or tne totui crop. We quote the following from the walnut (J rowers associations . nouncement as being the portions of unusual, general interest to the trade, much of the balance being uevoieu io a consideration of mois lure and crowlnc conditions, which whllo so for not satisfactory In the state, are still In tho making, the situntioti not being complete by any means: "Thoro will he but minor changes made in the sales methods and pol ides of this association for the i24 campaign and no changes In grading standards. Following our most satisfactory experience dur ing recent seasons, we will accept no orders whatever nor make anv commit menu to buyers until prices are named early in October. We will ask each of our brokers for nn Cfltimatp of the total rennfre. mente of his territory, by grades in ,itii:ii,H, nnoui Atlgtist rirst, nnd about September first we will make each broker an allotment wnicn ne may offer to ih t.-nriA in his territory at our opening prices when announced. These allotments win ne based on past season's requirements of each broker' ter. rltory In comparison with the total expected output of the association.

"The association s coast sioess of 1923 crop walnuts of all sizes and grades aro now completely ex hausted. There is a small remain ing stock of outside consignments in only three markets and the to tal of these holdings is less than 100 bags. Coast stocks of shelled walnuts are also exhaunted and the remaining unsold consignments consisting of vacuum packed tins, total less than one third carload. "A recent survey of many of tne. principal markets of this country indicates that wholesalers' stocks are generally lighter than they ever have been at this season oi the year. It Is thus certain that the 1924 crop will come on to an absolutely bare and eager market in every section of the country. "There has been some merited criticism of our pre-season crop es timates during tne past two sen sons Our only excuse is that both the 1!22 and 192J crops were un usually hard ones to estimate. With the walnut producing district constantly broadened out and be coming more scattered until It Is gaining more or less prominence in nearly nil sections of California, it appears that our former crop es timating system to an extent has broken down.

An Aid to Advertisers Both Local and National The Audit Bureau of Circulations is an Association of publishers, advertisers and advertising agencies who are co-operating to standardize and verify circulation data, and thus place the buying of space on a basis of "Known Value." The Bureau was established in 1914 and now numbers among its members the majority of the leaders in tho publishing and advertising fields of the United States and Canada. Twice a year the publisher makes a veport to the Bureau showing total circulation and detads of distribu tion by states, cities, towns, suburbs and rural districts; also subscription rates and facts about contests, prem iums and club offers. Once a year these statements are audited by one of the Bureau's experts. The publisher members agree to permit examination by the Auditor of all records considered necessary by the Bureau. By means of the A. B. C. audit reports, which are issued on all member-publications, the advertiser can analyze the circulation of a paper and determine its value to him as an advertising medium. By patronizing A. B. C. papers, advertisers guard their own interests and also participate in this nation-wide movement to place advertising on a sound, business-like basis. The Capital Journal is a member of the A. B. C. nnd would be pleased to r .submit the latest circuKition report.
