businessmen and women are back
ing up their faith in two milion 4-H
Club members with incentives
valued at $400,000 annually. This
amount is distributed for awards
and leader training funds in 4-H
programs which range from can
ning to tractor maintenance.
“The money is considered a
sound investment in the nation's
future by encouraging these rural
boys and girls who have pledged
their head, heart, hands and health
to make the best better,” declared
Guy L. Noble, director of the Na
tional 4-H Committee, a non-profit
citizen’s group.
"4-H youth learn by doing,” he
stated, “and guiding their efforts
are 225,000 volunteer club leaders
who work under the direction of
the Extension Service of the State
Agricultural colleges to carry out
4-H program objectives.” The teen
agers do a man-sized job in their
projects, according to Noble, and
by the time they reach 21 many
are well on the way to becoming
independent farmers, while others
have substantial bank accounts.
Among the awards for outstand
ing achievement are trips to the
National 4-H Club Congress held
in Chicago. Here 1,100 state and
national champions accompanied
by club leaders assemble from
every part of the country. They
are joined by delegates from
Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico.

The farmers who plan to make
early orders for their fall fertili
zer are more apt to receive ship
ment at the desired time, says W.
B. Parker, county extension agent.
When needs are filled during the
off-season part of the year, the
fertilizer is usually cheaper, and
certainly planning ahead is good
business for all concerned.
In the northwest there are two
peaks in the retail sale of commer
cial fertilizers: one during the
spring planting season and the
second in the early fall. Right now
we are in a slack period between
the two peaks. Those who purchase
their needs now can be assured of
an ample supply of nitrogen and
phosphorous fertilizers for fall
use. Those who wait until the time
to apply the material may go with
out or have to take a substitute
material.
Early ordering is especially im
portant under Oregon condition
where most of the warehouses
ordinarily handling commerial fer
tilizers are now full of seed and
grain. With early fertilizer orders
on hand the fertilizer dealer can
procure your needs without sacri
ficing non - existent warehouse
space.
In Recent Count
A printed report detailing re
sult* of an Oregon and Washing
ton nut tree survey, which reveal
ed that the planted acreage of fil
bert* and walnut* in the two
state* had been expanded consider
ably during recent years, is now
available from county extension
agents or by writing direct to Ore
gon State college.
The extension bulletin is number
TH. and is entitled, "Oregon-
Washington Nut Tree Survey,
1949.” It contains 20 pages and is
I tree.
The survey shows that last year
there were nearly two and one-
half million filbert trees and 600,-
000 walnut trees in Oregon and j
Washington. Filberts occupy 29,- ;
300 acre*; the walnut tree* are
growing on 31,100 acres of land, i
Eighty-seven per cent of the fil
bert trees covered in the survey '
and 94 per cent of the walnut |
trees are in Oregon.
Tree nut production in the Pa- !
cific northwest, the report shows,
has been expanded at a rapid rate
during recent years. During the
five-year period, 1945-1949, filbert
production increased 50 per cent
over the previous five years. Wal
nut production expanded 40 per
cent.
Prices for the 1948 and 1949 I
crops, meanwhile, averaged less
than 50 per cent of parity for both
walnuts and filberts. The survey
was made at the request of the in
dustry to form a basis of future
production and marketing plans.
Bearing capacity of filbert or
chards will continue to increase.
By 1954, the survey shows, the
bearing surface of present orchards
is likely to surpass the 1949 bear
ing capacity of 35 per cent. Wal
nut production will level off.
Barring widespread tree re
moval, filbert production for the
period 1955-59 could easily exceed
present ^production by an average
5,500 tons per year.
The survey indicates that four-
fifths of the filbert trees planted
in Oregon and Washington are the
Barcelona variety. About 84 per
cent of Oregon’s walnut acreage
are Franquettes.
