There were only 22 entries in standard varieties and 22 entries in new
varieties so we did not make much of a showing as compared with the 1946
Ohio contest. However, very good walnuts came in. They were all sampled
with a mechanical cracker. An interesting development to me was the fact
that machine cracking left the center of several of the best varieties
of walnuts looking much like the core of an apple, instead of being
broken in two as in hand cracking.
