SELLING NUTS FOR MEAT

This is Expected to Be Result of Com
ing Convention at Easton, Maryland
The eighteenth annual convention
of the Northern Nut Growers Asso-
citation, to be held in Easton, Md,
September Is to 16, may be the nu-
cleus for the first national cooperative
selling association for nut meats ever
established, according to views of
President S. w. Snyder, of Center
Point, Iowa. Mr. Snyder had the fol-
lowing to say on this matter:
Il believe that our convention will
be a good and timely opportunity to
at least begin talking if not to act
ually organize a national cooperative
selling association for nut meats.
There are a great many people in
every part Of our country where nuts
are grown who would welcome such
an enterprise. | have had a number
of inquiries during the past year ask
ing where surplus nuts and nut meats
could be marketed. At one time re-
ceived an inquiry in which the writer
asked where he could buy seven car
loads of black walnuts and this gives
evidence that there is both supply and
demand"
Based on the expression of Mr..
Snyder prominent nut growers claim
that action such as he suggests would
be logical, and if taken, would be an
epoch in the history Of nut culture
in the United States, and that it
would give the convention on the Del
Mar-Va Peninsula national promin-
ence.
President Snyder is one of the best
posted men on nut culture in the cen
tral states and is prominent member
of a large nursery concern. which for

show that many of the involve trucks
and that the trucks are, in many in
stances. responsible for the crashes.
Most of such vehicles are from out
side this state, machines carrying
fruit and produce from the southern
farms and orchards to the northern
markets. The drivers seem possess
ed of desire to get to their destina-
ton regardless of consequences and
proceed to drive their machines at top
speed wherever they think they can
do it without being arrested.
All the drivers arrested Monday
night were going north. The fact
that it was raining helped the police
for it prevented the truck drivers
from recognizing them. Had the of
ficers been on motorcycles they would
have had much difficulty for they can
not make any speed in chasing of
tenders on wet roads.
AS to the new mirror order which
is in conformity with the amended
law passed by the last Delaware Leg
islature, Mr.. Buck stated that a mir
ror on any automobile, whether it be
a pleasure car or truck, will comply
with the law even though the mirror
is on the inside Of the pleasure car,
so that any danger from behind can
be seen. This law will also be strict
ly enforced

della Springs, Va; H. L. Barnes, of

many years has specialized in nut
trees. His views are accepted as high
ly authoritative and judging from
general sentiment his suggestion rel
ative to a cooperative selling asso-
citation will be given serious consider
alton at the convention.
There is every indication that there
will be large and representative at
tendance from all sections of the pen
insula and nearby states at the con-
vention. This is based on the favor
able replies from county agents, lead
ing nurserymen and scores of others
who have been specially invited.
Interest in the convention is wide
spread and its purposes are receiving
valuable editorial comment. AS Del
Mar-Va is known to be we'll adapted
to nut culture, the coming of the con-
vention it is believed, will have ma
terial effect in creating healthy in
terest in promoting scientific growing
of nut trees. Various authorities
have expressed themselves on the op-
portunities which the peninsula offers
for nut culture. They stress both fav-
orable climate and soil and are unan-
imous in saying that hundreds of
acres on the peninsula now not util-
lied could be devoted to a profitable
cultivation of nut trees of leading
varieties.
The first day of the convention will
be devoted to reports and addresses
covering nut culture in all its phases;
from its earliest stages to the present
and outlining its future possibilities.
On the program are speakers who are
nationally and internationally known
as authorities on nut culture. They
are men who have devoted much time
and money to experiments and devel-
opment and have studied their sub
jects with scientific care.
Following the first day session an
oyster roast and entertainment will be
rendered the visitors by the Talbot
County Chamber Of Commerce. Dur
ing the evening an open forum at
which anyone may request informa-
ton or present views will be held.
The second day will be given over
to a tour of those sections where nut
trees are doing we'll on the Peninsula.
This will be for the purpose of giving
the association members an opportun-
ity to study conditions as they exist
and will also make possible an authen-
tic expression of opinion as to posi-
bilities of nut culture in Del-Mar-Va.
AS previously announced, DR.. G.
Layton Grier, president Of the Del
Mar-Va Eastern Shore Association,
will welcome members of the associa-
ton and their guests at the conven-
ton. Thomas P. Littlepage, of Wash
ington, D. c., will reply to DR.. Grier's
address of welcome.

as the most stubbord animal. These
"rooters" jump over hurdles, play
leapfrog, roll barrels and shoot the
chutes. Mr.. Clark has the only hog
in the world that sits up and walks
on his hind legs. There are also
many trained dog acts, riding and
performing bears, shetland ponies,
goats, riding dogs and monkeys, fun
ny balloons and in fact a veritable
Noah's Ark of strange and curious
animals. In addition to the animal
acts Downie Bros. have this season a
high class circus performance includ-
ing Gene and Mary Enos, who do a
sensational act while aloft of a 35
foot pole. Also Harry and Charlotte

nearly mile long, is protected above
by a projecting cave of hard rock
many feet thick. On the opposite wall
of the canyon are other cliff dwell
ings, at about the same level, similar
ly formed and protected The dwell
ings formed in these rock hollows are
about the size of an ordinary small
room, separated from each other and
fronted by heavy, well-built rock and
masonry walls.
The pueblo ruins, like the pueblos
now inhabited were mostly built on
hills or cliff-edges, with a main story,
then a second story much smaller.
Sometimes there is a third and oc-
casionally fourth story. The walls
are of rock, the roofs of peeled poles
laid close together and covered with
adobe.
Quoting from McClintock's "Ari-
zona the Youngest State:
Nearly all t:.7 mountain trails of
Arizona are well marked by aborig-
inal signboards. Few are the trails
that were not laid out originally by
Indians or their predecessors. The
markings are usually found on boul-
ders, Clipped in, probably with flint
or basalt tools. Many of them un-
doubtedly are the direction signs of
prehistoric road associations, indicat-
ing water or direction, possibly warn
ings Of places of ambush, in this re-
spect corresponding to the slow signs
looked for by the local motor car
driver. The commonest figure shown
is the coiled snake, which may have
meant either danger or water. Some
of them undoubtedly were the sign
manual of travellers, who decorated
their routes somewhat as ambitious
tramps today paint their names on
railroad stations Then again, and
this is especially notable on the high
ways over which passed the clans that
later joined with the northern pueblo
dwellers, the markings undoubtedly
are ritualistic in character. Near the
cliff dwellings usually are to be found
rather elaborate petroglyphs. Some
times, as in the Sierra Anchas, sec
ton of the cliff will be covered with
clear designs showing triumph on re-
turning from battle, much with the
same idea as was known in ancient
Egypt. Few of the designs indicate
any accurate sense of proportion
at is very unlikely that any great,
preponderant influence, authority or
empire ever was acknowledged by the
local atorigines. 1t is even improb-
able that there was any especial CEN
trail influence, other than religious
custom. Under practically the same
conditions today live the people of the
several independent pueblos of the
Hopis. Local conditions caused local
changes, usually as gradual and slow
as the changes in the conservative In
dian mentality. Nowhere on the North
American continent, possibly save in
southern Mexico, does there appear
to have been any sign of human prog
ress toward enlightenment such as
known by the Europeans. A thousand
years ago they undoubtedly were
much the same as they were one hun
dred years ago. There had been COM
munal separation and tribal minglings,
and languages had changed, but natu-
raj conditions remained constant and
with them a general adherence to es-
tablished custom that already had
been found best suited to the environ
ment."

ST. JOHNS GATEWAY
TO ZlJNl VILLAGES

st. Johns, county seat of Apache
county, is one of the most picturesque
towns in the state. 1t is the recog-
nized gateway to the Zuni villages
and Zuni national park.
There are two Of the most beautiful
lakes in the state at St. Johns-Udall,
or Zion lake, and the Lyman or st.
Johns reservoir. In addition there are
the Little Colorado river and many
smaller streams easily accessible, and
fine trout fishing.
On direct auto roads to the White
mountains, the Painted Desert, the
Zuni pueblo villages and many other
great scenic and recreational points,
St. Johns in addition boasts a petri-
fled forest of its own, oriy four miles
away, as well as its own painted des-
ert, conveniently near.
St. Johns was first settled by few
Mexicans, the first other settlers-Sol
and Morris Barth, A. f. Banta and
David K Udall-arriving about 1874.
The Barth brothers were and always
since have been prominent merchan-
disers. Banta, famous throughout the
state, was the founder of the St Johns
Observer, now owned and ably edited
by G. F. Montross. Udall, very proni-
nent in Mormon circles, welded an in
fluence felt all through the state. It
was Udall who bequeathed much of the
rural beauty to the little city, as he
planted the long rows Of Lombardy
poplars along it's streets. They are
now beautiful great trees and much
enhance the good looks of the town.
Always noted for their fine schools,
the Mormons comprising the major
population of st. Johns are no excep-
tion. For years they maintained a
splendid academy. Now since the
building of modern high school, the
old academy building is used entirely
for devotional purposes.
