ALMONDS SPOILED IN THE CURING.
LOSE FLAVOR IN GAINING COLOR DEMANDED By
CONSUMERS SAY THE GROWERS

CONSUMERS, SAY THE GROWERS
a wholesale confectIoner Of this city who has
lately returned from trip through the almond
growing district Of California, says that he
learned with surprise that the almond growers
have for years been depriving the almonds Of
their finest flavor IN order 10 give them the
color demanded by the Eastern trade. He tried
the almond in its natural state, Just as it comes
from the tree, and wondered at the superior
flavor which it had over the almond prepared
for market He will no longer insist on color
perfection. and believes that he can educate his
customers into eating the natural nut
The California almond grows on low, thicky
leaved trees, which are planted in regular rows
These trees receive as much care as vegetables
in garden. The season of harvest begins early
in August and lasts through two weeks Of Sep
tember. The nuts are beaten from the trees,
usually by tramps picked up along the rail-
road, who are glad TO do the light work for
81 a day. Sheets are spread under the trees TO
catch the falling nuts. and big wagons carry
the results Of the tree beaters' work to the hull
ing machine. The hulIer works like thrashing
machine, and few nuts pass through without
ioosng their green outer covering. The sorting
is done by girls and women.
It is at this stage that the preparation for
market should stop, according to the grower.
The nut is then light yellow in color, slightly
soft and shows trace of oil II it were not
for the light yellow color the grower would do
no more. The trade. however. demands that the
nut shall be golden yellow, and the grower
knows how to make it so. The hulled nuts are
spread on fiat trays and placed for forty-eight
hours in the hot sun They are then placed in
q bleaching house" The sulphur fumes
turned on. and the color Of the nut slowly
changes into a brownish golden shade. Just as
the color Of a womans hair is changed under
a somewhat similar process. The nut is finer
to look at, and if almonds were used for parIor
ornaments all would be well, but the exquisite
flavor Of the nut is greedy eaten out by the
sulphur at least the best part of it. and the
grower is sorry

economic policy which has been an obstacle
to the fullest development of our foreign
trade. Superiority and cheapness are the
first essentials of supremacy in the worlds
markets. but IL is also necessary that the
character OF our products should be made
known. This can be effected only by adopt
ing and improving the methods of enter
prising rivals. Some of our manufacturing
establishments have followed the sugges-
lions of experienced consular officers. like
Mr.. Mason, whose advice TO manufacturers
has been published In the Record. In ev-
cry instance they have found a prompt and
surprising reward, although they have Ia
bored under the disadvantages of an OBJ
structive and irritating tariff policy.
There are indications that the country has
begun TO recognize the importance of a
struggle for industrial supremacy. The
future prosperity OF the nation depends
on the enlargement of our export trade.
Our production is so large that in order
to keep the millions OF industrial workers
employed we must have outlets for our
products other than the home market. II
the idea OF an American exhibition OF
machinery at Moscow should be carried
out the consequence would be far reach
Ing. The suggestion with regard TO this
enterprise was originally made by the
United States consul general at st. Peters,
burg, who proposed that the American ex-
hibits at the Paris fair should be kept In
Russia has an especially keen interest in
machinery at this time. She is deeply
concerned in the development OF home
industries which require the latest and
best products OF American ingenuity and
skill. The exhibitors would return from
Moscow with an enlarged sense OF the pos
sibilities of European markets for most OF
our manufactures and would have no DIFF
ficulty in proving the superiative folly OK
maintaining a protective system no longer
required by our industries, but which is
bar to the fullest development OF our
export trade.
Clear-headed observers have long fore
seen the awakening that is TO bring Amer
lea fairly into the contest with other In
dustriai nations for the first place. Great
Britain leads, with Germany second. This
country is still distant third--not because
we are unable TO compete with our rivals
as TO quality and cheapness, but because OF
our failure 10 adops an aggressive policy
of foreign advertising. There are many
signs that this awakening is not remote.
and that the extension of our foreign
trade will soon become common pur-
