Today this Valley has been developed and U a great agricultural aecitoo of California, supplying tbouaamds of carloads each year* of cantaloups*, lettuce, alfalfa, dtru* and many other crops, which grown practically aand with toe help Of water.

Last week I drove over to Chino right in the heart of tbe walnut district to * c eettag of toe Walnut Grower*' of Southern California. I wish that my Jersey friends might have been with me to have beard tbe very interesting talks given th..i day. The talk that Impressed nw most was by Mr. Thorpe, the General Manager of tbe Walnut Growers’ Association of California- During the addr#** be told what bad been accomplished by standardization and by better cultural msthods. and by advertising (Mr. Hancock had advertising underscored). In the old days people only ate walnuts during the months of September, October. November nod December., but now by advertising they bad | been induced to buy tnd sat walnut! until June Bo you see they have found markets for many additional ton* of walnut*. They spend as much as twenty cent* a bag for adrertlxlng In magauac*. street ear*, bill boards and many

other avenue*

walnut growers are the moat sue-’ cessful of all the California co- 1 Operative organization* Their slogan is quality, knowing that a aattofled customer 1* always a good customer. I have been able to get tbe setup of the Walnut Grower*' Association and some of Its workings, which I know will be of tot-rest to you when I come borne. The great trouble out here is over production. The cooperative* do not all have smooth sailing by a good ways. There

teems to be too much produced. This to a big country. I nen

realized It before, but when one has driven nearly 8.000 miles since December 1. then you get some

idea of the size of toe good ‘ U. 8. A. For Instance you « take California and cut It up lota 46x100 feet and build

bungalow, put four people Id tout bungalow, mod you can bouse all tbe people In the world and still

have every other bungalow er In the State, you get some of the size of this State. Last winter some smart alecks
