THE OUEGON STATESMAN. SALEM, OREGON THURSDAY MORNING. NOVEMBER 4. 1920 3. Sialem Is Ft Increasing Its Lead as the Filbert Center of the United States, the Industry! As Growing and Will Grow,1 to the Extent of the Supply of Young Trees KNI GHT PEARCY GIVES THE POINTS OF FILBERT INDUSTRY filberts Are Frost Proof, Rain Proof, Easily Harvested, the Trees Bear Early and Heavily, and Our District Has Practically No American Competition . ... . . n-..v nrVirt fnrnlshed thi following article in The Statesman, is an epxert in the fil bert indastry. He is member it the firm of Pearcr Bros.,, who are engaged in the development It fruit orchards and nut proves tor themselves and others in this section, their Salem offices being In the Oregon building.) . va i m- Qta teaman: - Twenty years ago the first lo ganberries began to Jear in the .iim0A raller. Twelve years ro the iogan was still compara tively unknown even among Ore gonians. Today. It Is the second most important fruit crop of the valley and perhaps the third In Importance of all the fruits grown ia this great fruit growing state. Thei loganberry's , phenomenal Increase in horticultural import ance iwill undoubtedly be dtiplf etedJiv the case of the filbert, t The first experimental filbert plantings began to fruit in west ern Or?gon about 10 years ago. , The result - obtained during the Dart 10 years have been such as to encourage tho planting of many j additional orchards. The " great enthusiasts In the filbert business ire those growers who have been growing this nut: the longest. The greatest obstacle to in creased plantings has been the shortage of nursery stock. We were talkra'g only this week; to a grower who purchased, a tract of land a year ago that had on it two acres of bearing filberts.' This year he harvested ; 4000 pounds of nuts, and this in spite of the fact that the planting had never been well cared for until . this year and that many of the trees axe of varieties that do poorly here. This man is now preparing to plant 20 acres to filberts. Many Point la Its Favor , There are many; points in favor of this nut as an orchard propo sition in , the Willamette valley Frost seems: to have little effect In reducing the crop. The filbert blooms daring the .winter, at a time when the tree Is bare of. leavesi Cold temperatures are the rule at ibis-season." Some of tha best oroducing groves that we have are located in frost pock tut where our other fruits are of ten frosted out. Even the past extremely cold winter", when the temperature dropped to 20 below hi places, did less- damage to the filbert than to most other var ieties of fruit and nuts. In some cases the catkins were frozen with thei result that, no nuts formed and? in a few cases a few limbs on a few trees died, apparently as a result of the freezing, but In a majority oi me plantings a good crop was set, the Dorris grove at oMruiKw-iu, me orbis grove at Dilley and the Moisan tract in the Polk county hills above West Sa lem? having produced bumper cr EVERYTHING IN HARDWARE SALEM HARDWARE CO IiIAKGIS BROS.

Owron Building Salem : Kain at harvest time causes the nipert grower little ot the worry that is caused the cherry: and prune grower. The nuts can lie on the ground a week without in jury., ; : v'V" Thei labor problem, which is an ever present one with the berry grower, causes the filbert grower little loss of sleep. The crop 13 easy to pick jip and. a few pickers can care for a relatively large acreage. A- few davs delav in harvesting the crop will not result in. heavy loss, as ia the case with so . many of our oher orchard crops. Compared with apples, there is little labor i needed in producing a filbert crop. There is no systematic spraying, al though the trees shuld be given an .-occasional . winter -sDravins. The pruning is not heavy. There are no expensive and detailed op erations such as thinning the fruit, that are so necessary with apples, pears and peaches. Or dinary cultivations such as should be given - the prune and . cherry are sufficient to cause the Hlbert to thlrve. No expensive equip ment such as driers, smudge pots, packing houses or colud storage plants are reqnfred in producing and marketing this nut. American competition - is nil. No section of the United States other than western Orerm and Washington and a limited nart of California can produce filberts commercially although1 certain sections have been trying it f;r a hundred years. Americans consume around 15,- 000,000 pounds of these nuts an nually, in spite of the fact that there has never been any advertis ing campaign or other effort to make the nut mora popular. We may just as well be raising these millions of, pounds of iuberts in Oregon as . to import them, from Sicily and Spain. No 'tyerious disease has -yet ap peared to threaten this nut. We have some insects and diseases. but none that threaten to become very serious. The worst pests are the squirrels and jay birds and they are not especially diffi- j cult to control. , Like the prune, the filbert dos well on many soil types. Oertin of our other trees do very ' well on certain types of soil, but be cause of the fact that these soil types . generally are found in frosty locations the. tree is not heavily, planted on them. This is true to a certain extent of the walnut on the sandy loam river bottom soils. It, does "exceeding ly well on these soils, but is too often nipped by frost to warrant heavy planting on such soils ex cept in favored locations. The filbert does not have this frost limitation and seems to prefer the sandy river bottom soils above all others, although it does, well on good bench soils or loam soils and even does very -nicely on; red hill soils, although it does not grow' as rapidly or as large as on the lat ter soils. tJrowers Sbonld Diversify Even with ,r(p , offering the many advantages of this one, we believe it to be good. business to plant at least one other fruit crop along with it. Then in case something unlooked for should happen to one . of the varieties the other would - still remain - to tide the grower over until anoth er season. .Thei i filbert enters nicely into certain ' combinations of crops. In the hills cherries, filberts and walnuts make a nice combinations. . Their. harvests fol low one another so that the same help can be used through a long neason-and they are all profitable rons to urovr. In the river bot tom locations, strawberries, logans or raspberries and filberts j make a nice succession of harvests. Many other couihiifatioiis of ciois whope harvest seasons are such that they do not compete with each other tor iabor. can be had. Harcelona is our principal var iety. It is a heavy producer of nuts that are self huskine. and the bulk of the planting will pro bably be of this variety until some new and better variety makes its appearance. The Har- celona. however, should not he planted in blocks alone, as it is more or less self-sterile. When planted with DuChilly it bears much better crops. White Ave line also seems to act as a pollen izer to Barcelona, but is in itself less valuable than the DuChilly as a commercial nut. DuChilly is self sterile. Barce lona will not pollenize it. but Da- vlana and Clackamas will cause it to bear. Hence in our commer cial plantings we plant largely Barcelona with enough DuChilly to pollenize the former and with enough Clackamas 'or Daviana to pollenize the DuChilly. We "have had year old trees to bear nuts, but when they do this it is at the expense of tree growth. Nuts begin to appear about the third year generally, although it is usually the fifth year before a commercial crop can be expected and this when a grove has been given every attention. From this time time on, however, the in crease in yield Is rapid. We have -records of five year old tr?es that bore 18 pounds ot nuts -and of 13-year-old trees bearing" 65 and 70 pounds. These trees are planted 80 to 100 per acre and prices re alized last year were 30 to 35 cents per pound to the grower, eo the. reader can figure the pos sibilities In dollars and cents for himself. However one cannot figure yields per acre from the yields of exceptional trees. We know of one grower-who harvest ed 30 pounds per tree from 50 trees on a half acr of orchard. This 1s" at the rate of 3000 pounds per acre and is one that we can easily expect from , 12-year-old trees. Viewed from all points, the filbert- offers .many attractions to the growers of this section." It is frost proof, rain proof, easily harvested, bears early and heavi- ' ly, has little competition from i jkav wm v fcvw.

Onr own faith in it is such that we are planting a holding for ourselves this winter, and the extent of our planting N limited only by the size of our bank account. KNIGHT PEARCY. Salem, Ore..

Where through out the whole Willamette valley there were many fruit trees of various species as well as a great many young chestnut trees and English tor Madeira) walnut trees completely killed to the snow line last December, during the coldest weather we have ever witnessed In this section of Oregon, I have fail ed as yet to lind a single filbert tree, or even a native wild hazel nut bush that died from the ef fects of the severe cold weather labt winter, and have noticed but one variety where its catkins (or male blossoms) were damaged, and that variety Is the Daviana, which produced a few fertile nuts this season by its pistils (or fe male blossoms), becoming pollen ized (or fertilized) by the catkins of other varieties near them. As the Daviana pistils were not out enough to be damaged at the time; the cold .weather killed some of the Daviana catkins., although the filbert blooms from iabout the middle of January to the last of February (according . to variety and season.)

November 6. 1919, The past year was a severe one on the nut crowers of th north west. While the filbert suffered much less than the walnut, yet. our first impression that it had come fhroueh the severe cold of last December uninjured, was not correct. Besides the loss of this year's crop on all law g rounds, many filbert proves of Marion county show a good deal of dead wood which continued to develop throughout the summer and can be assigned to no other "cause than the severe cold of last win ter. However, this injury Is not severe, in no case Involving the life of the tree, and as we have little fear of a similar season for many- year? to come, we are not discouraged, and shall continue to plant filberts. In fact there is now a. more widespread and in telligent interest In the fHbert than I have known at any pre vious time. There are some pop ular notions as to the adaptabil ity of the filbert to' all soils and situations that ought to be cor rected. - While the. ..UUMsit. iU , tucceed on a greater variety 'of -.oil" and in a greater variety of location than-the walnut, yet it J will not succeed in all situations. The filbert thrives best and yield most prolificallr on deep, moist rich Kottom land. It will succeed almo.-t as well on deep, fertile soil of the second bottoms, and will flourish quite well and bear good crop" in the hills where the soil is deep and fertile and molt-t-re abundant. Huf I have no where been able to find any on who has succeeded in trowing the filbert on the top ot hills hre the soil is shallow and full of giavel or shale. Mr. Reed, of the bureau of nut culture, Washing ton. I). C. who spent some days with u las.t February was very firmly of the opinion thst the b-t soils for the filbert are otr first and . second bottom lands. He also expressed tho opinion that we have here ia the Willamette valley the finest filbert soil: also the most promising filbert proves to be found anywhere in the I'nited States.
