Mr. Groner visited the orchard with the visitors nnd explained the progress mnde mid early trials mude with walnut culture and walnut varieties in this county and stated that ex perience had demonstrated that the grafted Frnnquettc walnut is the best known walnut for this locality. Annual cover crops arc planted In the Gronsr walnut orchards. In fact the cover crop is held as one of the important factors in main taining the soil fertility of the wal nut and other nut orchards. Com binations of vetch and oats, vetch and barley are the most commonly used. The seeding is done mostly in late August or early September.

Barns, plant pathologist of the Oregon I Agricultural college, in response to questions stated that no satisfactory explanation could be made at this time for the unusual number of blanks in filberts this year. He stated that a number of practical growers consider this a question of pollination. Professor Bars* said that the cause of this loss is not yet exactly determined. The last stop Wednesday was at the thrifty young filbert grove of 11. T. Bruce at Reedville. Thursday the caravan continued its visitations to the Gaston and Forest Grove communities, and vis ited the farms of C. D. Ott, 11. Col lins, R. E. Kopplin, R. G. Clarkson and R. Forbis. The Weil’s Department Store will complete its fifteenth year of opera tion in Hillsboro September 7 and on that date the annual anniversary sale will start. Their eastern buy ers and store managers have been busy for weeks in preparation for the fifteenth anniversary sule. On August 25, 1913, Nuthan Weil purchased the Gross A Co. stock at Third and Main streets nnd contin ued to do business there until it had outgrown thut location. In the early summer of 1919, Mr. Weil, seeing the bright future and business possibilities of Hillsboro, bought the Tualatin hotel property oil Muin street through to Lincoln. A two story store building 100 by 100, with n floor space ami stock rooms consisting of 25,000 square feet, wus constructed. The store was opened December 2, 1919, and under the personal su|H-rvision of Mr. Weil, assisted by his three sons, Reuben, Morris aixl Juke, the busi ness has continued to grow until it is now considered one of Oregon’s largest suburban department stores.

The spectators were enthusiastic over the antics of the pilots and the show was considered a success from the standpoint of interest, but there ' was no financial profit. Profit on Outside The American Legion made plans for an air circus to help raise funds to develop the airport immediately after the property was purchased by Dr. E. H. Smith. The income will just about equal the outgo and the original intention of raising money to develop the port was nul- lified, legion officials say, by the many who apparently were satisfied with what they could see from the nearby roads. The legion heads point out that all the profit was on. the outside. Fred Sauer, flying a Travelair plane, finished first in the free for Loyal M.

Graham Injured in Ball Will Oppose Tussle Saturday Justice Rand The Hillsboro valley league team lost to Newberg at the annual American Legion harvest festival at the Yamhill county town Saturday afternoon, 11 to 3. Charles Lang mack and Emmott Nicodemus, with Dr. E. H. Smith’s plane, dropped the ball to start the game. A makeshift lineup was used so as not to jeopardize Hillsboro's chances in the elimination series at Oswego, Bill Zeigler, the regular catcher, playing in right field for the locals, stepped in a hole as he was about to catch a ball. Zeigler was struck in the eye and knocked unconscious. He played in the game the next day, however, with his eye closed. The locals were ahead at the time of the accident. The Hillsboro lineup: Luke Stan- gel, pitcher; Deaville, catcher; Hoag, 1st; Ray Dillon, 2nd; Nosier, short; Miller. 3rd; Delplanche, left; Robin son, center, and Zeigler and Day, right. Loyal M. Graham of Forest Grove, lawyer, legislator and good roads worker was nominated as an independent candidate for the state supreme court at a meeting of citi zens in Portland Thursday night. A Graham for Supreme Court club has been formed and temporary headquarters have been set up at 404 Panama building, Portland. Nomination of Mr. Graham was brought about by the Judge Rand opposition. Republican Mr. Graham is a republican of life-long standing, but believes that judicial offices, especially the su- preme court, should be divorced from partisan politics and its mem- bers chosen for other than political reasons. He has served as representative in six sessions of the Oregon legis- -t- lature, where, as a member of the road committee, he made an out standing record. The fact that Ore gon is among the states famed for its good roads and fine highways is due in large measure to his unre- I mitting work.

Gordon Mounce was second and Keadle in an American Eagle was third. The event was limited to three rolls, three loops, three true Immelmans, and three turns in a •pin coming out in the direction of entering. Sauer, using a Travelair, finished first in the 15-mile three-cornered race, which was considered by many as the thriller of the day because the planes were zipping right over the heads of the crowd and keeping close to the ground. Clark won second money and Davis was third in an American Eagle. Disqualify Many There were ten entries in the dead-stick landing event, which was won by Keadle.
