These baths are something like a
steam bath. The nuts are placed in
alright containers made of concrete,
consisting of 10 compartments, and
capable of holding to tons at one
time. Steam is turned into the booths
and continued for about 20 minutes
After the pores of the shells are
opened by the steam. about l pound
of sulphar Is placed in the booth and
lighted. so that its fumes will pene-
trate the shell.
Another 20 minutes is used for the
processing, and the almond comes out
of its sulphur bath with a brighter
shell and is ready for It's packing and
journey to markets that reach all over
the United States.

BY LILLIAN cox ATHEY,

7 UNLESS you know how to iden-
tify the almond tree at
glance, you would mistake it
~ for peach tree, yet thinking
that the peach orchard you were view-
ing was in most splendid condition.
But the fruits of these trees are the
reverse from each other, so far as
their use as food is concerned. We
eat the soft, delicious pulp surround
ing the seed of the peach, and the
seed or the kernel Of the almond
California is the State selected by
the almond in which to flourish.
Ninety-eight per cent Of the almonds
grown in this country are in = re-
stricted territory, and in the chosen
State at that
The almond tree Is temperamental
1t insists on extreme heat in summer
and deep snow in winter. The needs
are met in the region about Banning,
where most of the almonds are grown.
One of the strangest quirks OF al
mond trees is that they will not ac-
cept pollen from male almond trees
of their own variety. In order to over
come this unusual demand, the grow
ers have had to humor the lady paper
shells and give them a hard-shell
almond for mate. So you will find
In an almond orchard one row of hard
shells beside row of paper shells
throughout the orchard. And further
facts show that the mother Is so
dominant that all her seed children
will resemble her kind and will not
be hybrids. So this little demand of
the mothers makes 1t possible to har-
vest the nuts over a long season, q
burden that is greatly appreciated by
the orchardist.
Much of the> harvesting is done by
the Indians, as there is 4 reservation
not far from Banning. The procedure
is usually something on this order.
Sheets Of canvas are spread on the
ground under the trees. A man climbs
up into a tree, and, using q light
weight pole, shakes the nuts from the
highest branches. At the same time
! one or two men walk about the tree,
using poles to knock OF the nuts from
the lower branches. Usually each tree
Is freed of its crop at one visit. The

came back from fishing trip with
the President at the beginning Of the
month, and opened his campaign on
how to save the country from depres-
sion, by radio address on the Sunday
after Christmas This was followed, on
Wednesday OF this week, by another
speech before the American Political
Science Association in Philadelphia
With that mixture Of confident om-
niscience and righteous indignation
strongly reminiscent Of my old friend
DR.. Goebbels, he "enlightened' us
with the information that all our trou-
bles are traceable to a single source
and cause. Monopoly and big busi-
ness have thrown us of balance in
these things, and this is the cause OF
our discomfort and unsettled conf
dence." Isolating this all-encom-
passing evil from the rest Of our econ
omy and from all other factors, he in
dicted it. arraigned it. judged it and
sentenced it, before the Peoples Court
Of the radio audience.
Docs Not Define Monopoly.
He conducted this extraordinary
case, in which he was. like cunning
old Fury, prosecutor, judge and jury,
without ever defining just what he
meant by monopoly, and just what
bigness is, and just what evils they
draw in their train Is the evil big
ness per Sc? 1t would seem not, from
Mr.. Jackson's second speech. The
evil Is only that it is private Private
socialism," he called it, which phrase
did not originate with him. Free
enterprise cannot exist alongside
monopolies and cartels," he explained.
So they are all to be broken up, are
they? And the industrial life OF the
country organized overnight into small
units? Just how? Or are they? Are
We not instead, to have a greater and
greater consolidation, a complete car
telization OF everything. including big
and little, and the whole put under
the regulation of Government, in the
manner OF the corporate state?
am just asking I have read Mr..
Jackson's speeches very carefully, and
haven't the remotest idea. Does
he want to halt, for instance, the
consolidation of the railroads, which
the President strongly, I understand,
desires? l think not. I think this
sudden championship Of the little
man." this sudden apparently fam
tastic reversal Of the ideas of the
N. R. A. is a phoney. I think it is
q phoney, because I have heard
this kind OF speech before, in another
country, where the little man. also
thought he saw his savior-and got
himself eventually absorbed in the
biggest. solidist, tightest, all-cartel-
lied, all-trustified economic system he
had ever seen in his life, with labor

How About the C. o.?
would like, for instance. to hear
Mr.. Jackson on the subject of the
c. 1. o., and the all-embracing, all
comprehending industrial union, with
the closed shop. Is that a monopoly

MODERN KITCHENS
ARE EASY TO HAVE
Your Electrical Dealer Can
Help You To Have Just
The Kind of Kitchen
You Want

Kitchen modernization is getting un-
der way throughout the nation on
scale never before dreamed of accord
ing to officials of the nationwide move
ment, which is being sponsored nation
ally by leaders in the electrical appli-
ance industries. In all sections of the
country it is gaining momentum as
the movement continues to win the
approval of public utilities distribut
ors and dealers of all kinds of cleo
trical appliances, such as ranges, wat
or heaters, dishwashers, ventilating
fans and other smaller appliances. 1t
would seem that the kitchen is at
last waking up to its possibilities and
is destined to become the most beauti-
full and best arranged room in the
modern home.
Electrical dealers in Henderson are
showing much interest in kitchen mod
ernizatiOn and are offering their as
sistance to the new home builders and
those who are remodeling their homes
Much can be learned about the mod
ern kitchen from these dealers and
they are anxious to help and make
suggestions when they can be of SER
vice.
The Carolina Power and Light Com
pany has placed on display at their
office a miniature kitchen, showing
how modern kitchen can be made to
look by properly arranging the electri-
cal units. In size and shape of the
kitchen matters very little, as equip
ment can be arranged in such man
ner that all wasted space can be used
to ADVANTAGE This is called the kit
chen planning service and is avail
able without cost at the office of the

or through any other electrical deal
er in Henderson without cost. De-
! tails of how to secure plans can be had
at your dealers.
