WALNUT GROWING MADE
EASY AND PROFITABLE
Tract Adjoining Santa Rosa Of
fers inducements to BUYERS

There are few men or women inter
ested in the cultivation of the soil who
have not in the last few years ex-
pressed desire to grow walnuts for
profit. Could they have had the ad-
vice and services of expert growers
and been so situated as to devote their
entire time to the project they doubt
less would have made money. Few of
them had these qualifications.
When the growing of walnuts on a
large scale can be accomplished the
expenses may be lessened and the prof
its increased. The Noble Jones COM
pany is about TO plant a large tract
adjacent to Santa Rosa to Franquette
ing Monday More than " 900 90 sne aeeep pian1I1 wIl
be planted with young trees and grow
ers. throughout the state are showing
Ths Keen aoln interest In s,anl the Undertaking
tion of the land for sale, and has at
tached a very attractive payment plan
It IS not necessary for the purchasers
to devote. any of their time to the pro-
Ject, as the company will care for the
land for four years. The cultivation
of the grove will be under the super
vision of w. II. Schieffer, formerly as
sociated with Luther Burbank.
In 1902 more than 100000 pounds
OF walnuts were imported. In. the IL
months ending June, 1906, almost 25,-
100000 pounds, valued at $2,675,000,
were imported. In 1907 $4,000 900
pounds, worth approximately s3,5O0,-
900, were imported.
This increased Importation indicates
a growing demand for walnuts, with
which California's increasing produc-
tion has not kept pace.
1t is an investment founded on both
sound business principles and the scien-
tific cultivation of the soil. Walnuts
are in such great demand that $1,000
900 pounds were consumed in the
United States in 1907. OF these Cali
fornia produced close to $4,000. 600
pounds. A few hundred thousand
pounds were produced in other states
and the remaining 32.000,000 pounds
were imported, regardless of the fact
that a tariff was paid on every pound.
These figures show that practically ali
the walnuts produced in the United
States are grown in California.
One of the most attractive features
of the proposition is that it will enable
the investor to embark in new ard
very profitable business without leav-
ing his regular occupation or devot-
ing any time to the new business. 1t
will enable him, with a comparatively
small capital. to double his regular in
come.

President Finely Advocates Wise For
est MANAGEMENT.

That the wise management of the
forests is regarded by President w.
w. Finley. of the Southern Railway,
as n necessity, in the Development OF
the South is strongly brought out IN
body of the University of Georgia.
In NV opinon.' said President Fin
lev, the economic importance of the
management of our Southern forests
so as to secure from them the lar
gest present profit consistent with
their preservation can not be over
estimated. In addition to their inhu-
ence upon stream flow. tending TO
diminish the destructiveness of floods
and to maintain higher water naviga-
ton and for generation of power IN
dry seasons they form the foundation
of our Woodworking industries.
Until comparatively recent years
the North Atlantic States predominae-
ed in furniture manufacturing and
other woodworking industries. Tim
Der supplies in hat section have Teen
almost exhausted and these industries
are follwing the rapidly receding for
es;s into South and West. greatly in
creasing the value of the timber
lands.
III Southern woodworking indus
tries are to thrive in years TO come,
they must be assured OF a constant
supply OF their raw material. This
can be brought about only by the
adoption of scientific methods of for
estry by the owners OF our wood

Hampton and Norfolk High Schools
Battle for Twelve Innings.
FINAL SCORE ONE TO NOTHING
Visitors Took the Contest In the
Twe.fth-eoth pitchers Did Great
Work, Each Striking Out Thirteen
Men-Burbank Allowed Five Hits.

In probably the best and most
stubbornly fought contest ever pulled
Of on New Park diamond the Norfolk
High School baseball nine defeated
the team of the Hampton High School
yesterday in a twelve inning session
by the score of l TO 0.
1t was purely pitchers battle
from start to finish. and the run ac-
credited TO Norfolk was made in the
beginning OF the twelfth session. ow-
ing to errors of McMinamen and Will
son in failing to field badly thrown
ball. Beanie" Burbank was pitted
against Banks, of Norfolk, and both OF
the twirlers did splendid work. Each
pitcher had thirteen strike-outs 10
his credit Burbank allowed but five
hits. while not a single Norfolk man
walked TO FIRST on him. Banks per-
mi;ted two men 10 walk and gave the
locals seven hits. McMinamen's bat
ting was a feature.
Exciting is mild word in describ-
ing the contest, for the playing was
kent nj fever heat throughout the
twelve innings. There were many
star plays. and the work of each
teach is deserving of the highest COM
mendation.
II was the deciding game of a Sc
ries of three contests between the two
mines, and the way the game was con-
tested shows that there is little diff
ference in their makeup. Hampton
played the most scientific ball. al
though Hampton had five errors
chaiked up TO her. four of which were
given TO McMinamen. The errors in
most of the cases were excusable and
not costly until the final session.
a crowd of several hundred fans
witnessed the game and was kept on
mettle until the end.

Results Of Purchasing Coal Under
Government Specifications.

The necessity of uniform stand
ard in the purchase Of coal became
apparent TO few OF the government
departments number OF years ago,
and in 1902 plan of purchasing on
the heat-vaule basis was introduced.
II proved successful. especially in the
Treasury Department. under when
purchases were made for the post-of-
fees and other public buildings
throughout the the United states. At
thar time the Treasure Department
had weil-equipped laboratory and
was thus enabled TO do all of the
necessary testing. but other depart
ments were unable to follow its ex-
ample because of lack OF informa-
ton and proper facilities In 1904.
at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition
al ST. Louis. the United states Ge-
illogical Survey began a cOmprehen-
sive practical investigation OF the
utilization CT coal. This investigation
is slill in progress AT Pittshurg, and
II has resulted in making authentic
information of great value available
TO the public as wei as 10 the gov
tfNmenl uepdTt UleulS.
In 1907 Congress recoSri'"" the i'm
por;ance of more careful Supervision
of the Governments purchases of fuel.
and charged the Geological Survey
with the testin OF coal for govern
ment use. After this legislation Pres
ident Roosevelt. in crderP vdogcrcoa
ident Roosevelt, in letter 10 the Ma
tional Advisory Board on Fuels and
Structural Materials. brought to the
attention of that body the need OF an
efficient and uniform basis for the
purchase of coal.
As Il result of this action a Specih-
cation forni was drafted b. engineers
in the eaploy Il the Government and
was approved by III b ard in March,
1907 Before the ATTEMPT was made
TO draft this form, the results OF the
general fuel-testing investigation car
ried on at st. Louis were supplement-
ed bv analyses and tests of large
number of samples f coal that was
being delivered under contracts TO
government buildings in Washington
and elsewhere. and this work formed
the basis for the standards set in me
specification.
Contracts based On the new speci-
flcation went into effect Julyl, 1907
at the beginning OF the fiscal year
1905. For the first half of The fiscal
year D. T. Randall had charge of the
inspection and analysis OF coal deliv-
cred under the specifications. Abou.
