BY A FILBERT EXPERT Would each. pant an acre of fil berts it would not be many years before these small plant ings would be paying the taxes j on the medium size farms. Given a flock of hens that will pay most of the store bills and a small planting of nnts that wlil cere for most of the taxes, the lot of the farmer would be easier than it is at present. .A few years' ago before the present state administration be gan its orgy of spending when taxes were lower than at present, a prominent banker owning one bf the best homes In a valley town made the statement that the wal nut trees growing as shade trees on his home lot paid all the FALL SUITS $17.50 to $30.00 Ed.

Com'l Phono 451 KNIGHT Sl SALEM DI District is a continuation of the Salem Slogan and Pep and Progress Campaign taxfes on the place. The filbert grows into bearing earlier than the, walnut and is adapted to ' many soils and slopes that will not" grow walnuts. Make" Filberts Pay Taxes l Why not plant an acre or so on each farm and dedicate these small plantings to the task of paying the farm tax? It can be done. The filbert will do fairly well on selected spots on neatly every valley farm. Like the farm hen, the filbert tree will grow in a damp soil, but, like hyer, it does test where drainage is fairly good. Like her, it will produce with ' comparatively little care after it is nursed out of the ln- iancy stage, but, like the hen, the more- the care and attention the better, the results. We know of a lot in the town of Newberg that produced filberts at the rate of $2400 pr acre last year, and served as a poultry yard at the Fame time. ( " I Most Soils Suitable The filbert does fairly well, a' most of our soil types in this val ley, provided that they have fair drainage and fertility. On soil with good drainage and good fer tility that are retentfve of mols ture the filbert does its best. We have thriving groves on the river bottoms, on the valley loams, and, on the red hill soils. The great care that must be exercised in avoiding locations with poor drainage for walnuts does not have to be exercised in choosing a filbert location, since ordinary frosts seldom affect this hardy nut. . i Small Choice of Varieties We do not heve a great deal of choice in tne matter of varieties for the commercial planting. If it 'were self-fertile we would plant nothing but Barcelona. However the Barcelona, planted alone in solid blocks, seldom bears well, but requires companion varieties that blossom at the same time and who5e pollen has an affinity for its blossoma. These compan ion varieties, which we call pol lenizers, should be numerous enough and well enough distrib uted over the planting so that their pollen will reach every blossom of the Barcelona. The Pollenizers Needed ;It has been found that ten to fifteen per cent of the pollenizers '.are needed. The O.A.C. has been CotigL some splendid work in 301-5 Oregon Bldg.

They have demonstrates that Nottingham, Clackamas, Halles des Geantes, Daviana, DuChilly and White Aveline all, pollenize the Barcelona to a com mercial extent, although some to a greater extent than others. The first three mentioned are so scarce, that it will be years before they are available to the planter. hence we must use the latter three for the present, and they do the work well. Beware of the Seedlings Beware of the seedling filbert tree for commercial plantings. Certain nurserymen are pushing the sale of this type 'of tree, just as others pushed the sale of wal nut seedlings upon an ignorant public a few years ago. It is, sig nificant that probably 95 per cent' of the walnut trees sold at the present are grafted trees, and ibis in spite of the fact that some of the biggest nurseries in the state spent thousands trying to prove the merits of the seedling. The walnut has a better chance Of making good from the seedling than has the filbert. Line bred Mailings, that is seedlings whose male and female parents were troth of the same variety have a inuch greater chance of produc ing uniform producing trees than have thope seedlings produced by mating trees of different . varie ties. The first mentioned type of seedlings Is easy to introduce from the Franquette variety of walnut, fince this variety is self fertile and is found growing in large groves where no other varieties are growing, and hence where foreign pollen is not flying. Nuts taken from groves of this kind will produce seedling trees that will produce more uniform nuts and nuts more closely resembling their parents than will 5eedling9 from nuts grown in a grove con taining more than one variety and hence giving a mixed parentage. The Barcelona filbert it is Barcelona seedlings that are be ing offered for sale does not bear to amount to anything alone, that is the true Barcelona does not, and hence the nurseryman in gathering his seeds cannot get pore seed but has to take nnts whose germs contain characters from two parents, Barcelona and some' pollenizer. The offspring from such a combination is bound to show great variation. The self sterility of true Barcerona id rhown by most carefully control led pollination experiments made at the college where Bercelona fertilized with its own pollen made nuts from two and a half per cent of the blossoms fertil ized, whereas nearly 40 per cent set nuts where Daviana pollen was used on the Barcelona flow ers. When the tree agent shows you a few nuts of fine appear ance alleged to have come from a seedling tree demand of him that you be shown a sample composed of several nuts from each of the trees in the seedling planting. This sample will show pome fine nuts, perhaps, but along with these will be many too many small and odd shaped ones. Not as Walnut Fillers We are often asked about the use of filberts as fillers in wal nut plantmgs. Usually we .would advise against this. The filbert is probably as long lived a tree as is the walnut. It produces a crop worth probably as much per aero as the walnut will ever produce.

H. Van Trump, who is the fruit inspector for Marion county. Is worthy of careful read ing by men thinking of engaging in the filbert industry:) FIL.BKRTS FOR THE SMALIi FARM (Written for The Statesman by S. Van Trump) Herbert Spencer tells In his Autobiography how great manu facturing plants now stand on the soil, where he as a child played and watched with the intense curiosity of youth the opening catkins of the filbert. Sunshine and soil, are becoming intensely and increasingly valu able in all the fertile regions of the Pacific Northwest. The progressive science of hor ticulture consists in equipping lha By the time that the walnut, un der ordinary fystems ot planting, would require all the land which is occupied by the filbert filler, the filbert ia'in heavy bearing and the walnut is still in compara tively light bearing. Few orchad ists have the nerve to pull out trees that are producing $300 per acre to make room for trees that are producing $100 per acre, re gardless of the future possibili ties of the latter. Hence either the walnut will eventually be re moved before it comes Into its own or else a competition between walnuts and filberts will take place which can not be anything but loss to both. Make Both Permanent Crop If both walnuts and filberts are to be grown on the same land, better consider both as permanent crops, rather than consider one as a filler. In such a planting the walnuts would be planted 7 5 U 100 feet apart instead of 50 feet. as is usual where a filler is used. The shade of the walnut planted at these distances will not be a3 detrimental as at the usual dis tances. When competition forces the thinning out of some of the filbert trees to make room for the full development of the wal nut trees, those nearest the wal nut can be removed, thus leaving both a filbert and a walnut or chard on the same land. Where the walnuts are planted at hun dred foot intervals and the fil berts between at twenty-five foot intervals we would have one wal nut tree in every 16 of the orig inal planting and one out of 12 after those filberts within 25 feet cf the walnuts had been removed. Where the walnuts are planted at 7 5 foot intervals there would be one walnut tree in nine at the or iginal planting and one in five when thinning had taken place. Ordinarily It will be found most profitable to the man want big both bilberts and walnuts to. make separate plantings. 0 Made to Order Here The filbert is a crop that 13 "made to order" for Oregon cli matic conditions. It will endure rains at both harvest and blossom time without loss to the crop. Untimely rains ruin many crops in this state, but not filbert crops?. The filbert bears young, bears large crops of high priced prod ucts, requires little special equip-n-went. little jpraying, jno thin ning, and is easily harvested. There is little danger of any se vere competition which would result In over supply. All In all, it Is perhaps the saf est and best crop for western Oregon conditions. r iim 11 More and Larger Those You Have Why suffer with Stomach Trouble when Chiropractic win Remove the Cause Jg ' " ' 'S FIT gardener both mentally and me chanically in such manner as wil! enable him to get a good living cut of an ever decreasing area ot the earth's surface.
