BETTER FRUIT 



Page 15 



They are then picked from the ground 

 at least once a week (Un-ing harvest 

 time, and three or four ])ickings are 

 generally necessary to gather the crop. 

 When gathered the nuts are thoroughly 

 washed in water and spread on trays 

 to be dried in the sun or in a fruit 

 dryer. In the sun, walnuts will cure 

 in about three or four days' time; if left 

 out over night the nuts should be pro- 

 tected from dews. 



Walnuts are one of the few crops 

 which is rather benefited than dam- 

 aged by rain during harvest time, pro- 

 vided the nuts are not allowed to re- 

 main on the ground long enough to 

 mildew and discolor. In wet weather 

 walnuts must be dried in well-ven- 

 tilated dryers with heat from 80 to 90 

 degrees Fahrenheit; high heat will 

 start the oil and injure the meat and 

 flavor of the nuts. Good nuts may be 

 spoiled in drying, and proper curing 

 is an important part of walnut grow- 

 ing. Thus far Northwestern-grown 

 walnuts have been sold without any 

 kind of bleaching; most of the French 

 varieties do not really have to be 

 bleached to sell readily on the market. 

 After the nuts have been properly 

 cured, the test of which is a brittle 

 meat, they are assorted and graded 

 ready for packing and marketing. It is 

 a singular fact that the Northwestern- 

 grown walnuts are usually cured and 

 ready for the market about the same 

 time as the Santa Barbara .Soft Shells 

 are in Southern California. 



In conclusion, it should be said that 

 the walnut should appeal not only to 

 the orchardist, but to the general 

 farmer and town-lot owner as well, and 

 all should have a few trees where they 

 will grow. The culture of English 

 walnuts is attractive in many respects; 

 they are a reasonably sure crop; they 

 do not recjuire an immediate market; 

 they are well known, and there is 

 always a demand for them at fair 

 prices. The trees are out of the ordi- 

 nai\ in that they combine the orna- 

 mental, the useful and the profitable in 

 the highest degree possible. Thrifty 

 English walnut trees with their hand- 

 some dark-green foliage and crop of 

 nuts certainly are beautiful, and give 

 us pleasure, profit and satisfaction; 

 and then, too, they are something per- 

 manent and will live and maintain their 

 beauty and productiveness almost in- 

 definitel.N'.

"Jay-Eye-See" 



Many years ago there was a famous race horse, 

 known from ocean to ocean. Its name was "Jay- 

 Eye-See" — w^hich were the initials of J. I. Case, 

 the founder of the J. I. Case T. M. Company, 



The owner of this famous horse was know^n as a man 

 who loved thoroughbreds — a man who admired perfec- 

 tion. He was recognized as a master-builder of ma- 

 chinery. He established his factory in 1842, and around 

 it gathered a w^orld-known community of able w^orkmen. 



A Thoroughbred 



Like the noted "Jay-Eye-See" 

 — know^n to you surely by repu- 

 tation the new Case "40" is a 

 thing of rare beauty. Its long, 

 sweeping lines are distinctive. All 

 corners have disappeared. This 

 unmistakable beauty makes men 

 spot this car and admire it. You 

 will enjoy driving such a "dif- 

 ferent" car — one that stands out 

 from others. 



Tomorrow's Car Today 



Your first mile in this car w^ill 

 delight you with its unusual com- 

 fort. This is gained, not alone by 

 the use of the cantilever springs, 

 but by the Case way of suspend- 



ingthese springs from the rear axle 

 so that they do only spring duty. 



The divided front seats — the 

 upholstery in real grain leather, 

 w^hich, by the w^ay is removable 

 as a unit for cleaning —together 

 with the unusual room, both in 

 the front compartment and in the 

 tonneau, will excite further praise. 



Tests of Value 



Then w^hen you come to test those 

 parts beneath the hood, in a hard 

 pull or up a steep incline, or on 

 the car's 100.000th mile, you will 

 find the Case motor well deserv- 

 ing of the characterization — "the 

 motor that makes extra cylinders 

 unnecessary." 



Here Are More Details 



The fact that all weiring is housed in waterproof, rustless, flexible 

 conduits, illustrates the care in planning of details. The 

 junction box between the body and the chassis, also in- 

 dicate the attention v^^hich you w^ill find asyou go through 

 the car with a microscope. Study every part. These 

 are but a few^ of the many things w^hich make this car 

 a rare value. Of course Westinghouse ignition, lighting 

 and starting equipment needs no further comment. 



New Car — New Price 



We offer you this car at the price of $1090, f.o. b. Racine, with the 

 statement that it contains a!I of the merit of our earlier "40," which
