- Twenty years ago the first lo
ganberries began to Jear in the

ro the iogan was still compara
tively unknown even among Ore

most important fruit crop of the
valley and perhaps the third In
Importance of all the fruits grown

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

: 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

this section of Oregon, I have fail

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

Editor Statesman:
I doubt very much if I can add
anything new, true, and original
to the splendid collection of filt,
bert facts and observation? which
you published Jn The Statesman
of. 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.
While considering the question
of the location of a filbert grove
one should not overlook the mat
ter of remoteness or proximity to
the haunts of the bluejay. the
chadHmnlt and the pray digger.
