LOS ANGELES, June 29. UP
Smaller crops of southern Califor-

$4,000 tons. Walnuts appear some
what lighter than last years record
breaking harvest. Though tn e
market cannot be predicted defin-
itely this early, experts say the out
look is good for both industries.
A mid-winter drought and warm
weather in southern California de-
layed blooming in the walnut groves
this season and probably will re-
suit in a spotty yield. The Califor-
MIA Walnut Growers association pre-
diets a crop under last years 42,244-
ton all-time record, but well up to
the average yield of normal years.
Market Firm
The market has been firm, and
there will be less surplus to deal
with. Prices. stiffened a bit this
spring, but the prices for the nuts
now on the trees will not be set
until September or October after
late crop estimates have been made
and the market conditions fully
determined.
Seven southern counties, with the
walnut capital at the little town of
Saticoy in Ventura county, produce
73 per cent of the California crop.
Low point in the industry was
the 1928 season. Under the AAA
agreement the 1933-34 season i'm

was still better and the one Just

NEW YORK, June 30. UR)-More
than 700 delegates to the ninth ma

a campaign in every state of the

AT the closing session of the five
day convention yesterday in Madi-

Landon Fishes
Gov Alf M. Landon spent his
time hooking trout and reading de-
tective stories in Estes Park, Colo,
a mile-high playground where he
has leased a ranch house for himself
and family. The governor shortly
will return to Topeka to deal with
special session of the state legisla-
ture summoned TO vote Kansas into
the security system set up by the
federal government.
Landon will be notified of his
nomination July % in Topeka and
the wars will be on until early Nov
ember when voters determine who
shall occupy the masters suite in
the big house at 1000 Pennsylvania
Ave, here.
The states rights issue cut square
ly between the Republican and
Democratic platforms. Republicans
in Cleveland adopted several New

proposed that administrative auth

The walnut Industry is rather
seriously over producing due to the
paintings during the prosperous
l920's. The market, it is estimated
will not catch up with the nut pro
duction for another 10 years. Co
operative efforts are being made
to export the surplus and keep 1t
from glutting the domestic market
Wine grapes seem headed towards
a quarter below normal crop. The
normal yield is three and one half
tons per acres for the industry

San Bernardino county.
Grape prices are unpredictable
but wine prices are Is per cent be-

The other fundamentally import
ant development in Philadelphia
was abrogation of the 104-year- old
rule which required a two-thirds
majority to nominate a Democratic
candidate for President or Vice
President. Minority coalitions have
counted that rule their only asset in
vetoing majority candidates. Thus

it was not like any sIedging of
soft rock; it was intermittent and
with it was the sound of people
moving around.
One had the idea that there
were voices at times, but it was
all very indefinite.
One would go off to sleep TO
experience more of these wretched
dreams. In my particular case
they seemed to take on charac-
teristic feature. The return to
consciousness from a dream al
ways had to do with chilling,
I would fancy myself in a warm,
beautifully lighted, luxurious en-
vironment, and reach out to take
something luscious and attractive,
when I would feel the atmosphere
grow very cold, and Immediately
all the luxury would fade. I
would open my eyes upon the
blackneSs of the cavern, and my
ears to the dripping and running
OF water in the mine.
The sounds in our immediate
locality began to increase, and we
had not yet been able to de-
termine for ourselves, or find from
the crews, the method by which
our rescue was being accom-
plished.
One important thing we must
determine-that if the final ma
neuver was to be a shot to blast
through to us, then we must know
beforehand and take ourselves off
to position where we would be
secure from such blasting.
If they were going to use a final
blast we must warn them before
hand, too, that we were retiring
to another position where we
could be looked for in case the
passage was, cut off in the final
blasting. This was our only
anxiety in regard to blasting.
THEY made it quite obvious to
II us on the next to the last
day that they were not going to

conversation, A companion would
rouse and ask what had been
said. The sleeper would have to
waken up and say, II was talking
in my Sleep" After an occasion
such as this I heard ALT tell them
over the telephone that the doc
tor was getting delirious."
TT surprised me to hear him say
l. this, and I gave the matter a
great deal of thought. I had told
these men that if death came to
them, I did not think it would be
uncomfortable, because it would
come to mentality so below nor
NAL that they need not fear an
acute realization Of it.
Tt turned out in Magill's case
that his dreadful anguish and
suffering lasted from the time of
the collapse of the shaft until six
hours after the onset of pneu-
monia, following which his men,
DRY and his realization of the sit
uation did not exist. So when I
heard ALT tell somebody I was
getting delirious I took stock.
After mature consideration, I
decided I was not delirious, but I
thought had better seize the,
opportunity to talk to Mrs.
Robertson while was still compos
mentis.
/ therefore called my brother
in-law, Charlie Ivey, and had him
get my wife for me. I expected
at this time that I would be
rescued, and so we went on from
hour to hour, doing the minimum
in the way of physical, exertion,
drinking the water that we had so
abundantly within our reach, and
wondering about the method of
approach.
On two occasions ALT, who knew

HALIFAX, N. S., May 5.
After receiving the
telephone, we made no fur
ther effort to follow time
by Alf's watch. We had a
fine feeling of security in
our telephone, and it was
nice to have an excuse to
ask the ground crew every
sort Of question.
We were entirely at sea as to
what method was being employed
to reach us. ALT and Magill had
been firm in their belief that the
rational approach was through an
old shaft they had shown me on
my first visit to the mine, and
which they told me led to the
workings of the Archibald lead at
the 70-foot level.
Prior to Magill's death. they
had threatened to leave our posi-
ton to make an attempt to find
their way up to this level and
then beat upon the wall, hoping
they would be heard.
ALT, I felt, after Magill had gone,
was reserving his final effort. hus-
banding his strength and energy
for his last desperate attempt at
extrication.
Our one-way telephone would
not permit us to get the entire
plans of the ground crew. The
great point thai was always be-
fore us was that we could be
reached, but what about the last
foot or so? Would they have to
shoot through the hanging wall,
and II so would shock such as
this cause the collapse of the
whole vault of the shaft just
above us?
TINE telephone brought us def
l. mite promise of delivery. We
were amazed when we were told
that we would be rescued within
six or 10 hours.
1t had the effect of buoying us
up and making us feel that the
situation was not too bad, for
II we could look forward to de-
livery within IL hours we would
be out of this in very good phys
ical shape.
1t also led us to preserve our
strength and made US content to
lie quiet, conserving what little
light we had, as we had got down
to about half of one candle. The
matches which had been sent to
lis I had put in a little glass vial,
and candle and matches 1 carried
in my innermost pocket. When
occasion demanded, We lighted
the candle for the few moments
necessary. In this wise we passed
the last two or three days.
1t is impossible for me to re-
call or differentiate the days, ex-
cepting that throughout the
whole time ALI suffered miseries
from the numbness of his legs
and from his arthritic pains. He
seemed to me to sleep well, at
intervals, and I believe that he
thought I slept very well.
At al events we should know
how each other slept, since we lay
with our arms around each other.
These periods of sleep were
very distressing; we would doze

calling for Henderson. He ordered
the placing of men above, with in
s5ructions to have the drill put
at certain spots where they were
