True, English walnuts are an im
portant crop In certain parts of
the Willamette valley, but how
many visuprs to Portland kn.iw
anything; about ItT The bulk of
the people ; of the nation, and, no
doubt, he majority of Portland
people included, think that the
walnuts;; consumed in the United
States all come from California.
Oregon walnuts are superior to
those grown in California and, I
believe, demand a better price in
the market Better prices are ask
ed for them in the Portland stores.
When people think of California
products, unconsciously they think
of California's wonderful climate,
the great Jure that is increasing
the population there - so rapidly.
Why not prove to) the world that
Portland has superb climatic con
ditions I by thrusting before the
eyes of every Portland "visitor wal
nuts in all' our gardens and along
our streets? The tree is a beauti
ful tree, j Jt is hardy, it require)
no pruning; nature takes care of
that. There is no labor in pick
ing; nature provides for that.
When the nuts mature they fall.
Why not the city In its rarks
plant large numbers of walnut
trees and provide without any cost
an abundance of fine walnuts for
the ijeeds of all the charitable in
stitutions and the hospitals l
Portland as far as they have use
for them and when the trees have
reached the stage of bearing far
beyond such necessities, why not
let the children who lime In apart
ment houses and elsewhere with
no nuts at home gather the nuts?
Many thousands of walnut tres
could be planted j in the parks of
Portland and on It municipal golf
links without interfering in the
least wth their usefulness. A mu
nicipality (owned atito camp with
a few hundred trees in and around

It would serve very valuable adver
tising purposes. .
: If I am not mistaken, a large
part of the logged off lands on the
slopes of the Willamette valley
Would be ideal for growing wal
nuts, which would solve the puz
zle of how to advantageously, util
ize them. ; t
: Why not aid the walnut growers
of Oregon to a greater and better
market for their product by at
tracting the attention of the world
to the Oregon walnut through the
medium of a proper display of the
Portland walnut? Why not an an
nual walnut show in Portland
where the growers of the world
will be invited to show their pro
duct and enable Oregon growers
to garner the bulk of the 'prizes?
Why not the park department of
Portland start a walnut nursery
to provide free of cost young wal
nut trees for all who will agree to
set them out in their yards and in
the parking strips of their homes
in Portland? Why not the county
commissioners lend their aid by a
county nurseryj for furnishing
young trees for county planting
outside of the city and along all
the county highways? . .. Why not
the state highway commission lend
Its cooperation by planting walnut
trees along every highway of the
Willamette valley, where climatic
conditions favor the growing of
English walnuts, ' making, every
main highway of the Willamette
valley a "Walnut Avenue."
Perhaps you do not know about
these wonderful walnut trees that
grow in Portland. Let me, show
you. two beautiful trees I have in
my yard at 812 Northrup street. I
would like you to see how heavily
they yield. , I would like to Bhow
you other fine trees about the
city.I would like you to see my
baby tree in the yard of one of my
neighbors with three nuts on it.
The owner Is almost as proud of
that three with its three nuts as
he is proud of his son and two
fine daughters of about the same
height. t
Let's get walnut growing es
tablished on a big scale in Port
land, starting it by contracting
with a nursery for 10.000 trees to
be sold at cost to Portland resi
dents who will agree to plant them
on their home premises and along
their street' parking strips. :Ten
thousand trees is a order and
will call for alow cost per tree.
If the Portland people are awak
ened to what they can accomplish
and are inspired to take a hand in
the game, 10,000 trees will njt
suffice for the first year's plant
ing and the cost per tree, can be
reduced still lower by a require
ment for perhaps 25,000 to 50,000
trees, or even more. In. another

S tealing . Slogan Man's Thunder
(Mr. Freeman Is a member of
the prominent firm of Freeman,
Smith & Camp Co., dealers In
bonds. In the above he is un
wittingly stealing some of the
thunder of the Slogan editor of
The Statesman, who has been ar
guing along thele lines for several
years not, however, as applying
to the city of Portland. But Mr.
Freeman is committing no crime
in taking thjs thunder. He j is
starting something i that will, if
followed up, do all he says it will,
and more. It will give a boost; to
the walnut industry in Oregon. We
have in the Willamette valley and
Clarke county, Washington, some
thing over 10,000 acres of Eng
lish Walnuts. ' California Is . ap
proaching 100,000 acres and that
state will be limited to 200,000
acres of walnuts on lands well
suited to their growthJ Our dis
trict has several thousand acres
that are suitable. And it is a fact
that we grow a better walnut than
California can; and there is more
money in the industry here. Our
land is cheaper; we need noirri-
gation, our nuts need no bleach
ing; they do not adhere to the
hulls and make an extra expense
in removing them; and there are
other reasons. The quality of Our
nuts is higher than that of Call
fornia's largely because we have
no weather hot enough, to discol
or the kernels and make them,, ran-
cia. rera uroner oi nuisooro,
one of the best walnut authorities
in the country, says the difference
in favor of Oregon nuts in cost of
harvesting and higher value and
price, -will about pay for the culti
vation of the trees, and that if ir
rigation cost be taken into consii
eration along' with this, it will pay
for their cultivation. The Slogan
man has for years advocated that
all the eastern black walnut trees
in and about Salem should be
grafted into Franquettes, and this
has been very generally done. And
the setting put of black walnut
trees has been discontinued here
entirely. Mr. Freeman must not
fail to advocate that only grafted
Franquettes be used, and that they
be accompanied by a pollenizer,
like a Mayette. If he can put his
idea oyer, or get It put over, he
will be a true missionary of pro
gress and prosperity for western
Oregon and Washington.) .

Meeting to Boost Flax
Set for October 9
A committee composed of Paul
V. Maris, extension director, Ore
gon Agricultural college, Edward
R. Morris, manager, industries de
partment of the Portland Chamber
of Commerce and Pete Thomason,
a veteran flax grower cf Marion
county, called on Winnie Braden,
secretary of the Dallas! Commer
cial club-, Wednesday .'afternoon
and arranged to hold a meeting of
farmers of Polk county who are
interested in the growing, of flax,
on October 9, at 2 o'clock p. m. in
the circuit court room. T;
The farmers of Polk county are
urged to attend this meeting as
speakers have been secured who
will giye the. practical side of the
industry. - ;
In talking with Mrs. Braden
Mr. Maris stated that the flax sit
uation is looking better than ever
before as the flax - pulling . ma
chines have proven a success,, thus
eliminating a large part of the tost
of production as the old method
of hand pulling had been bo very
expensive the growers in the past
were unable to show any great
profit. '. The market also is look
ing up, said Mr. Maris, as we are
practically assured of spinning
mills locating in Oregon within
the very near future and no doubt
later will come the looms where
linens fully equal to those of Ire
land.
The subject of flax - was given
considerable space in the program
of the "Economic Conference"
held at the college, last January,
from which the following is quot
ed: "Climatic conditions and many
soils In western Oregon are favor
able to the development of fiber
flax of good quality. : The state is
now engaged in the fiber flax in
dustry in connection with the peni
tentiary employment program. In
dications point toward opportun
ity in the enlargement of the fiber
flax industry. It is recommended,
therefore, that land sufficiently
rich for the production of good
yields of long strawed fiber flax
he slanted to that croD in suffic
ient acreage to meet manufactur
ing developments.
"In order that information msfy
be available concerning the best
methods and varieties, more exper
imental work In the handling ot
fiber and seed flax Is recommend
ed. . .' : v l
Mr. Maris stated further that
the college Is anxious to cooperate
In every iway in the shaping of
this industry into a really profit
able one for the Willamette val
ley counties and would, in all pro
babilities give the subject consld
eration at the Polk County Eco
nomic conference to be held dur
