CARE OF FILBERTS Lack of Attention - Declared Cause of Poor Quality Of Crop At the meeting of the Salem cooperative nut growers held during the last week there was much discussion as to the means of improving the quality of Ore gon walnuts and filberts. Both growers and salesmen were ready to admit that the Oregon walnuts are far superior in quality to those of California and letters were read from eastern buyers supporting the contention. However the filbert crop fre quently fails to come up to the standard and all were agreed that this is due entirely to the lack of proper care on the part of the grower. Experienced growers of first quality filberts were unit ed in their contention that in or der to secure the best quality of nuts they must be artificially dried. In the past the growers have simply spread the nuts out on a barn or shed floor, stirred them occasionally and allowed them to dy for a time, then mar keted them. Nuts treated In this way never have tne flavor or keeping qualities ot kiln dried nuts, according t othe experts. There were four reasons why the 1929 iibert crop was a failure in so many places, according to T. Dundee, grow. These were, first: that the trees were not pruned In the winter. Too much wood la a sure detriment to a filbert tree. Second: they were not cultivated enough and late enough In the season. For this reason they did not have suffi cient moisture to carry them through the maturing season. Fil bert trees should be harrowed late in the summer. Third: the stH was not deep enough and a lack of moisture re sulted. Sub soiling was advised. Fourth: aphis did great damage in many orchards. One grower reported that one dustlnr cleared nis orchard that had previously oeen xairiy crawling with aphis. it growers will avoid these four difficulties and then see that their filberts are properly kiln anea uregon niberts may com pete, as to quality, with any in me wond. Oregon to Grow More Potatoes PORTLAND. Ore.. Feb. 15. (AP) Oregon potatoes m stor age for sale January 1. 1930. were estimated at 1,658,000 bush els, according to a report of the unuea mates- envision or crop and livestock estimates reissued through Oregon's federal state crop reporting service. On Janu ary i, year ago, the potato stocks In Oregon were almost twice as large, the revised esti mate being 2.974.000 bushels. An unusually noor potato cron in neavier producing areas ot the state last season accounts chiefly ior tne Dig decrease in January l potato stocks, the report stated. Oregon potato acreage in 1930 win oe ea.vvo acres if the ex Si a. - t .. pressed intention of Oregon grow ers is fully carried out. This is an increase of 1,000 acres over the acreage dug in 1920. In. the 19 northern potato pro ducing states the intended acre age is estimated at 2.296,000 acres, , which compares with 192,000 acres' harvested last rear and 2.474,000 harvested la 1928. This estimate is baaed on intentions ot growers in these states as of January 1, 1930.' Po tato stocks for sale January, 1930, in the. 19 northern states are estimated at 74,207,000 bush- ale 'compared - to 110,492,000, bushels a year ago and St, 493,000 bssheb on January 1, 192S.

B (Spe cial) Dairy herds ot Yamhill county failed to show a decrease during January In spite of the freezing and stormy weather, the report of the Dairy Herd Improve ment association shows. Bnttertat yields were normal in almost all herds Included in the association report. Sprinr Lake Farm at Gaston reports an average butterfat yield ot 42.96 pounds in the division of over 20 cows.

OIIION MADKET DULL POTATOES ERRATIC Oregon assumed a position ot greatest Importance in the North western onion trade, with 80 of the shipments originating in this district. This state will con tinue to be the dominating factor during the remainder of the on Ion shipping season. The week closed with daily loadings from this state of 9 to 11 carloads, whereas Washington and Idaho onion stocks are nearly depleted Onion supplies are liberal through out the United States however, and the market Is dull, with ap parently slight hope for immedi ate improvenrent. Oregon's stor age holdings of onions of about 00 carloads is apparently com ing out of their customary frost ed condition in very good shape. The potato market has been very erratic during the past week, Terminal markets and many eastern shipping points-show com paratlve little excitment. Through out Oregon and Washington, how ever, growers have been very bullish and prices advanced dur- ng the week, with Yakima grow ers realizing generally $3 7-$ 40 per ton for their Netted Gems grading 10 U. 8. No. 1. Wash ington loaded 537 cars of pota toes during the first two weeks ot February, of tne 18-2600 ears (according to various unofficial estimates) still era-table for ship ment from that state on February 1. Idaho's potato loadings aver age about 100 cars dally and the week closed with the market rath er dull at Southern Idaho points. FUTURE WHEAT PROSPECTS DISCOURAGING The U. 8. department of agri culture says-of the future: There is little in the wheat situation in the United States and other coun tries to Indicate that prices for the 1930 crop of the United States will be much different from those prevailing for the 1929 crop, un less fall-sown wheat suffers se vere winter damage or the spring wheat acreage is reduced. World stocks will be somewhat reduced by July. 1930, from those of July, 1929. but the world acreage may not be materially changed and yields are not Hkely-to.be so low as in 1929, when they were below average. World production of wheat Is keening pace with In creasing demand, so there is little prospect for a general upward trend in prices for some years to come. Farmers ot the United States must expect to meet con tlnued keen competition in export markets from Canada. Australia, Argentina and later on, possibly HUESia.

Portland has recently passed the ordinance that- all milk aold In the city must be from abortion free cows. It Is anticipated that other cities will follow Portland's lead. Recent figures given out by the state veterinarian's office show that In 1929, 37.366 abortion tests were made In Oregon and that of this number 3,924 animals reacted and 31,189 were free. Experts are agreed that the present test used is not Infallible bat that In the majority ot cases they are satisfactory. If the state fair refuses to accept exhibits from any but abortion free herds it will undoubtedly, cut down the number ot exhibits to a marked degree. The Pacific International live stock show will await the action ot the state fair board and then attempt to sound out the senti ment of the cattle owners before making a ruling. Under present conditions dairy men who have accredited abortion free herds will not exhibit at the state fair because to do so would expose their cattle and they would lose the certificates which It takes 18 months to get. NEW YORK. TVh. IK AP It was Robert Aitken's opinion, as a sculptor designing a memor ial statue, that the Hollanders who settled New Amsterdam (now New York), were of a hardv neasant stock, and a lurv in the state supreme court agreed with mm today, to the extent of 5, 850. The society of Daughters of Holland Dames commissioned Ait- ken In 1923 to make a memorial statue to stand in Battery park. He fashioned a clav model of a family group father, mother and iwo cnnaren in coarse peasant clothing. The Daughters of Hol land Dames were horrified. .So Aitken dressed his Dutch peasant in their Sunday clothes, but the daughters still disapprov ed. Their ancestors, thev affirm ed, were not peasant, but na- troons. Aitken sued for S5.000 and the Jury gave him 14,800 but the ap pellate division of the supreme court reversed the verdict because ot a technical error in the charge to the Jury. So be sued arain. Thla time the jury, after deliberating two hours, awarded the full amount plus interest. LONDON (AP) .
