Francisco Call.
An interesting and novel method
of Smelling almonds Is being intro
duced at the Hatch ranch in ihia
valley. The foreman has force Of
Chinese at work in the large ware
houses handling the almonds by
means Of machine, which rubs the
nuts through at the rate of nearly
two tons a day. The crop consists
of about $4,000 pounds, and is being
handled by lhe bank of Livermore.
Two or three Chinese work 4

and forth, the crushed shells and
kernels falling through, 10 be shov-
eled into the tanning mill. Here
the shells are blown off like chat,
and the smooth kernels drop off the
apron into the boxes.
The rest Of the work is sorting,
picking out the waxy and broken
kernels; but this has to be done by
hand. Out of every 1000 POUNDS Of
nuts 900 pounds of sound, whole
kernels are obtained, in addition to
about fifty pounds of cracked kernels
which are marketable.
Last year the almond people paid
3 cents a pound TO have their nuts
shelled. This year the bank has con-
tracted with the Cinnamon to shell
and box the crop at l cent pound.
1t is thought that next year the COST
of Smelling and packing can be re-
duced to so cents hundred pounds
In previous years the work was done
by hand, but the crop was smaller.
