Nut Growers
Eye Increase
In Production
Increased production of wal
nuts' and filberts is being planned
by members of the Nut Growers
Society of Oregon and Washing
ton. The group met at Newberg
recently with growers, packers
and members of the USD A to
discuss plans for expanding the
Pacific Northwest nut industry.
H. B. Salles, president, pointed.
out that walnut and filbert grow
ing in Uie Northwest is a $20
million industry and that the de
mand for nuts is holding firm,
and prices are. gradually improv
ing despite the general downward
trend being experienced by many
farm commodities.
Complaint of committee mem
bers is that some growers are
only half heartedly farming their
nut groves and are not availing
themselves of the income poten
tial which they have in their or
chard investment
Approximately one-third of the
filbert acreage has gone out of
production in the past eight
years.
"New plantings are to be en
couraged but of more immediate
benefit is greater production
from existing orchards. It is
hoped that the One-Ton Club idea
will create immediate interest
and result in improved acreage
returns for the area's nut grow
ers," Sallee said.

Work Outline
About 15 projects for possible
action during the year were sub
mitted by the various agencies
making up the Marion County
Health Council at the organize
tion's regular monthly meeting
Friday.
The submitted included Im
munization policies, fluoridation,
competitive sports in junior high
schools, prepaid medical care,
county zoning, treatment of men
tal health, health standards of mi
grant workers, public education
concerning health services, polio
education, problems of the aged,
venereal disease in Marion Coun
ty, home care programs, and
home pasteurization of milk.
All projects were taken under
advisement to determine wheth
er some could be incorTorafedT!
into a single broader program.
County Health officer Dr. Wil
lard Stone said the council's next
meeting, April 13, would be de
voted principally to discussions
of county zoning and the prog
ress being made locally toward
fluoridation.
away this week at some of the
suggested salaries, trying to get
the total cost down to the point
where the new salaries could fit
into the coming year's city budget.
As the recommendations came
from a committee of city depart
ment heads recently, salary raises
were pegged at varying percent
ages in order to place compar
able jobs at comp rable pay, and
the overall cost was averaged out
at close to 6 per cent The Bone
steele committee has been trying
to rearrange the plan so most
raises, and the total, ccme out at
about 3 per cent higher.
This would be the first city
pay raise in three years.
Bonesteele and committeemen
Clayton Jones and Edward E.
Roth interviewed all department
heads except Librarian Hugh
Morrow and Health Officer W. J.
Stone whom they expect to see
this coming week. Then the en
tire Council probably will go over
the revised report and decide if
it should be incorporated in the
city manager's budget draft.

Valley Soils"
Show Potash
Deficiency
By LILLIE L. MADSEN
Farm Editor, The Statetmaa
Only about 80 per cent of Wil
lamette Valley soils show any de
ficiency in potash, but where pot
ash is lacking, vegetable crops
"don't do so well," Tom Jackson,
soil conservation specialist at Ore
gon State College, told Salem area
vegetable growers Friday morning.
While the bright sun sent more
of the growers to the fields than
to the meeting, those who did at
tend showed great interest in the
talks arranged by Don Rasmus
sen, Marion County extension
agent The forenoon meeting was
held at Veterans of Foreign Wars
hall while the afternoon was de
voted to an equipment display at
the State Fairgrounds.
Potash deficiency could be noted
by "burning" of shrivelling of
bean foliage, Jackson said. Red
bronze colors on the foliage fre
quently resulted and sometimes
the yield was reduced as much as
50 per cent, he added.
Lime Preblem
Jackson also urged the growers
to "take a look at the lime prob
lem." as he said that lime was
lacking in many fields.. However,
he said, if two or three tons of
lime have been given the soil in
recent years, "it is not too diffi
cult to keep the proper lime con
tent up.;
Dr. Paul O. Ritcher. head of
the department of entomology,
OSC. explained the Miller biil.
which went into effect last sum
mer, as a law providing a guide
through labels. He said that "it
gives an insurance to the public
that the vegetables it buys in the
market are safe from dangerous in
secticides. 1
New Methods
Marvin Shearer, irrigation spe
cialist, told of new methods of de
termining if crops were receiving
sufficient moisture, and Glen Page,
agricultural engineer, gave reports
on recent .developments in means
of soil fumigation.
Willamette Valley equipment
dealers cooperated with their ma
chinery in the afternoon display.
Among the pieces drawing special
attention were fork lifts for duster
and irrigation equipment, mechani
cal bean yard stringers, stake
press and stake puller; soil mois
ture measuring equipment and new
type tractors.
