New Grade Sizes
For Walnuts Told
New grade size specifications for
unshelled walnuts and two new
grades, mammoth and standard,
have been adopted by the state
department of agriculture as re
sult of a recent hearing. At the
same time the Oregon mixed grade
was dropped from the walnut ter
minology. Some changes in filbert grade
standards were considered at the
hearing, but these were not adopt
ed, according to Frank McKcnnon,
plant division chief for the depart
ment. The walnut changes are in
effect.
State inspectors will now grade
walnuts on this basis:
Mammoth size shall be of a di
ameter too large to pass through a
round opening 96-64th inch in dia
meter. Jumbo size shall be of a diame
ter too large to pass through a
round opening 80-64th inch in di
ameter. Large size shall be of a diameter
too large to pass through a round
opening 77-64th inch in diameter.
Medium size shall be of a di
ameter too large to pass through a
round opening 73 6 H h inch in dia
meter, but will pass through a
round opening 79-6tlh inch in di
ameter Standard size shall be of a dia
meter too large to pass through a
round opening 73-6-1 In inch in di
ameter. Baby size shall be of a diameter
too large to pass through a round
opening 60-6-llh inch in diameter,
but will pass through a round open
ing 74-64th inch in diameter.
Walnuts less than 60-641 h inch in
diameter are to be regarded as
culls.
The effect of the changes is to
reduce fractionally the size of the
jumbo and large grades and in
crease the size of medium grade.
The tolerance remains at 12 per
cent for all sizes.
Los Angeles Progressing
In Battle Against Smog
I.OS ANGELES Wi - The metro
politan giant of the West today
can claim substantial progress in
its nine-year battle against the
smog which had threatened to
strangle it.
The Los Angeles Air Pollution
Control District said the smog-producing
elements of industry and
rubbish incineration have been
largely controlled or will be, upon
completion of programs now near
ing conclusion.
This, said the annual report of
control officer S. Smith Griswold,
leaves only the automobile exhaust
as a major source of smog. And
auto exhaust, said the AFCD. will
be a critical problem for at least
another four years.
Cost of the antismog battle since
it was launched in 1948 was esti
mated at $72,770,000 in the report,
issued yesterday. Industry has in
vested 50 millions in devices to
control smoke and fumes. The
APCD has spent $10,320,000 on its
control program. Research ex
penditures bv other agencies
amount to $12,450,000.
Has the amount of smog actual
ly been reduced?
There has not been a smog alert
so far this year. At this time last
year there had been three. There
were 10 alerts in 1956, compared
wilh 15 in 1955.
An alert is called when the
amount of ozone in the air reach
es .50 part per million parts of air.

13 Millions Spent Since f48
To Better Columbia Fishery
PORTLAND I Another $1,-
200,000 was spent in construction
to improve the Columbia River
fishery in the past fiscal year, the
federal Fish and Wildlife Service
said here.
That increased to 13 million dol
lars the amount spent in construc
tion since 1948 in rehabilitating
the salmon runs of the Columbia,
regional director Leo L. Laythe
said. The program is expected to
cost 50 million before completion.
He reported: completion of one
new hatchery; a start on two new
hatcheries and two fishways
around impassable falls; numer
ous stream clearing projects and
the entrance of Idaho into the pro
gram. Idaho signed a contract with the
Fish and Wildlife Service that will
allow the federal gency to begin
a study of upper Columbia tribu
taries in that state and to install
Hiver basin.

The five federal hatcheries in
the program released more
dition to the five hatcheries opei
ated by Oregon and the four by
Washington in the program.
Work started on the $550,000
Cascade Hatchery, to be operated
by Oregon, and the $643,000 Beav
er Creek Hatchery to be operated
by Washington. Site clearance
started on a new hatchery on the
Kalama River in Washington.
Fishways were cpmpleted on the
Kalama, Washougal and Wind riv
ers and Cedar Creek in Washing
ton and on the middle falls of
Eagle Creek in Oregon.
Construction started on a fish
way at the lower falls of Eagle
Creek and a fishvay at Elk Horn
falls on the Little North Santiam
River in Oregon.
