Center Covina Phone 138-43 The Walnut Pickers Tu a land replete with the picturesque, we sometimes pass by a new picture without real consciousness that it may be out of the ordinary. But someone new to the country is drawn to it, and this fresh enthusiasm arouses others who have come to look upon all happenings as commonplace. The walnut picking crews are in the great, orchards now. Through the long lines of trees we see these groups comprised of whole families, including grandma and the littlest one toddling about, all searching in the litter of the first fallen leaves, gathering into sacks the harvest, that in the aggregate brings many millions of dollars of new wealth into Southern California. These gleaners, as primitive in method us in the days of Ruth, and necessarily so because of the peculiar nature of the work, are often the people who live and work the year around in the walnut growing areas, but they are augmented by the traveling groups, those people who range up and down across the state in tiiwers, tarrying for a short season in the apricot, peach and prune districts of the north, and found wherever there is a harvest in a few dollars and going gypsies, valuable to a high degree to the tillers of the soil.

Their tents and campfires can be seen these keen fall, days in the miles and miles of walnut orchards. They constitute an important link that binds wealth to a fruitful land. Making Headway Fifteen years ago, Francis Cuttle of Riverside was speaking and working for flood control and conservation of water in the counties of Riverside, San Bernardino and Orange. This year a part of the program for which he dreamed and labored has been begun, and those counties will undoubtedly bond themselves to carry out the entire program in the coming years. Los Angeles county looked on helplessly for many years while Hoods tore the heart out of the.best of its farming areas, and ruined the highway and railroad bridges.

A few gathered at times and discussed possible ways and means. The mass of the population was skeptical and slow to act. But a nood control, program was finally evolved, and today that program is the greatest its kind the world-has ever attempted. Progress in flood control, as in all human endeavor, is accompanied invariably by obstacles, sometimes the least being those interposed by natural elements. Human agencies, passions, selfish desires, generally prove to'be the most difficult hurdles.

But it is satisfying to comtemplate the progress made, a progress which is distinctively remarkable, measured by the comparatively short period of civilization in these semi-arid plains of the Pacific. Money and man-power were lacking in the old days. Today we have both in liberal measure. We have a flood control problem peculiar to this but not necessarily difficult from the engineei'ing standpoint. We have no such task as confronts the delta states of the Mississippi.

We have the power and the mil, and these will prevail. Mr. and Mrs. J. H.
