THE WALNUT INDUSTRY IN THE SALEM DISTRICT
It is in answer to several inquiries that a review of the
walnut industry in the Salem district is given in the Pep and
Progress pages of The Statesman of this morning. Exhaust
ive articles were printed in the Salem Slogan numbers of last
year and the year before.
A number of new facts are brought out this morning
For instance, it is shown that Salem is becoming more
and more the assembling, marketing and shipping center of
the Oregon walnut industry; not only this, but it is becom
ing the walnut growing center. One of the largest solid
plantings in Oregon is in the Liberty district south of Salem.
The oldest solid planting in the state is at Jefferson some
twelve acres producing eight tons of nuts this ycaT, and sell-

impetus that is being given the industry now are to De maae Board.
In Marion, Folk and Yamhill counties
And the great bulk of the acreage in Oregon is already
in these counties, in the Salem marketing district.
. The grading and sorting and sacking is to be done in
Salem.
And Salem is the true Walnut City
For the trees along the curbs and on the city lots within
the city limits would make up a solid planting of 60 acres,
the proper distances apart on a single tract
' Much more if all the Eastern and California black wal
nuts were included, as they ought to be grafted over and in
cluded; in fact, are being rapidly grafted over.
No other city in this section has any near approach to
the number of walnut trees.
It was estimated, two years ago, by County Fruit In
spector S. II. Van Trump, that Marion county had 1D00 acres
in walnut trees; to say nothing of the small plantings in city CTOPKUni nPRQ QPflRPn : times as much as it would to pay

planting has been going on steadily ever since though not
to the extent that it will be done the coming year. So the
' acreage must be a good deal above 1000 now.

making everything fit into that,
instead of having the fear or stock

Protection from what? From the
necessity of earning their living.
Their children would be no better
off if they had to finance them
selves. Proper financing would, of
course, be easier on new roads. On
the old ones, however, it should
be possible to retire the parasite,
the non-contributing stockholder,
and get the ownership iuto proper
hands.

drain, the second step would be
to remove the great physical bur-

a passenger train is 2Ti times as
heavy. The cost of pulling empty
