PAGE EIGHT THE CAPITAL JOURNAL, SALEM. OREGON WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 21, 1925 CROP OF FILBERTS ABOUT CLEANED UP BY BUYERS 1 8 TO 20 CENTS F( For tho first time In the history of the filbert industry here, com mercial fruit men hnve entered the field for the nuta, with the result that nil but one or two large lots have been cleaned up. Grower have been receiving from 18 to 20 cents a pound for the nuta under the arrangement and have been letting go readily ra up to now the filbert growers, In a new In dustry, have been dlspoaing of their nuts, here, there and everywhere that a buyer could be secured. The Robert C. Paulua company, with Efirl Pearcy acting as agent, has been doing the heavy buying and the company 1b making ar rangements to enter the filbert field on a large scale next year, the first year when any real, ma terial tonnage of filberts la expect ed. The year after that It la ex pected there will be a heavy ton nage and that tho surplus may go Into tho eastern markets to com pete with the Sicilian filberts, and It la with an eye to the develop ment of that business that arrange ments are being made for getting ready for next year to get the sit uation on an established basis. Paulus plans to put In a grading and auction machine for handling the filberts, and also plana have been laid for obtaining open mesh bags for sampling the nuts, these bags showing the filberts off to the best advantage. The filberts grown here are of a high quality and there Is a large acreage planted, but It has not yet come Into full bearing by any means. This year 15 tons will prob ably cover the valley crop, while next year It Is expected thero will be more than double that tonnage, and tho following year a decidedly heavy yield Is expected.

Washington, Oct. 21 (AP) Pointing to Increasing foreign com petition In the wheat market, Sec retary Jardlne, In a statement to day told American farmers that they "may wisely look beyond this year while seeding or preparing to seed for next year's v.-heat harvest." rom intentions expressed by the farmers It appears thnt the prices for wheat at the beginning of the season were causing them to plan to Increase the area seeded," tho secretary said. "It Is mainly however, a partial crop failure, which has reduced the production of many classes of whent below do mestic needs, nnd which together with tho tariff, has caused farm ers to recolvu prices somewhnt bet ter than at the beginning of the season last year. "It seems probable that the mar ket has already discounted nil the bearish factors In the wheat situa tion for this year. "An slnted In the outlonk re port issued by the department In September, If fanners carry out ex pressed Intentions to plant more wheat nnd realize normal yields, all wheat next yenr may bo upon an export basis nnd hnve to meet com petition in fcycign markets, with out tariff protection." 4 Chicago, Oct. 21 (AP Open ing wheat prices, to 14 higher. now stylo, December $l.4(Pfc to $1.47 and May 81.43 to $1.43, wero followed by moderate furth er gains, December touching $1.47 and May $1.44.

Anderson & Rupert CLOVER SEED CROP 10 TOTAL The clover seed crop In the Im mediate vicinity of Salem this year will run from 250,000 to 300, 000 pounds, of approximately twice as large as the 150,000 pound crop of lout year, according to estimates mode by Charles R. Archerd, who handles large quantities of the lo cal seed, and it Is expected the price will average along about the same as last year, although the quality Is reported to be much fin er than last year. The average price by the time the season Is over will run about 26 cents, according to Archerd's estimate. The top price - bo far paid for this season's seed has .been 28 cents, with the average up to now about 27 cents. The French crop is reported to be very large this year, and It is stated that seed from the French crop can be laid down in Salem for 23 cents. Eastern seed Is being sold In the eastern market for about five cents a pound less than here. The seed from this locality Is all being marketed on the coast and the entire local crop will be absorb ed on the coast, It Is expected. The crop this year, while nearly twice as large as last year, Is only about one-third of a normal crop, acocrding to Archerd's estimate. The dry weather of last year pre vented germination of the crop sow ed at that time, considerable clov er was frozen out last winter and this season also was dry, holding back the crop. The clover went fn streaks this year, some farmers getting as high as six bushels to the acre, and some as low as a peck, this dif ference being noted sometimes In adjoining ranches. lects 43c; milk $2.44 cwt, i Vegetables and fruits: Canta loupes $1.252.25; watermelons, 1 He; oranges $10.50; lemons $10.60011; grapefruit $8.50; ban anas 9c; apples 91.50i2.50 box; new potatoes $2 50; tanked vege tables: beets 3c; carrots lc; tur nips 2c; local 40 0 80c; onions radishes 40o doz. bunches; toma toes 75c bushel: green beans 6c; Oregon celery SOc doz.; home grown cabbage 2c; local cauli flower $11.40 doz.; fresh parsley 60c doz.; peppers ti10c lb.; fancy dill 15o lb.; dill slzo cucumbers 3c; gherkins 7c lb.; outdoor limes $1.60 carton; seedless grapes 5c lb.; sweet corn 12 c; new Malaga grapes 7c; garlic 20c lb.; now pickling onions 7 7c; unions 2c; lettuce $2.25 crate; $3.50 Iced; sweet potatoes 5 U c lb.; cranberries lie. RUST PROOF -(AP) Winnipeg, Man.. Oct. 21- Samuel Larcombe of Birtls. Mnn. Internationally jinown agricultural ist has developed a new wheat which gives promise of beinir r- slstant to black etem rust. It was learned here today. The grain has been named Axmlnster. It yields 30 per cent more than Marquis and was pronounced equal In milling value to Red Fife and Marquis. Larcombe began developing Ax mlnster In 1910. Last vear it show od less than five per cent of rust iniection when Marquis and other varieties grown within five feet of It wero Infected 100 per cent. This season it did even better.

D. 3 reports bringing to perpec tlon a flax pulling invention which he declares will give to the farm er a saving of at least one-half over the present price for pulling and he states that demonstrations which have been mado the past week and witnessed by a number of people deeply Interested in the develop ment of flax, have satisfied them that the Bartosz machine will suc cessfully do what 1b promised for it. Bartlsz has been working for some time on an attachment for a binder that would pull flax, and states he has perfected the idea. The attachment has been simpli fied, he says, so that It can be easi ly handled, besides being sturdy and of long life. . He says that the puller, com plete with binder and engine, will cost about $1500. The machine will pull a four foot swath, he says, and should cover from six to ten acres a day. Three horses or a small tractor may be used for motive power. Bartosz states that machines will be operated the coming season by the manufacturer and growers who will contract to pull flax for .others. Bartosz Is an experienced flax grower and Is satisfied that hit; puller will materially clarify the situation In this section.

LOCAL FARMERS Salem hunters are no respectors of life, property, peace or security of the farmer, according to Har vey Walker, prominent rancher Just east of the city, and he de clares many farmers are up in arms over depredations by hunters. "The hunters are absolutely with out any conception of the fnrmer's rights, apparently." stated Walker. "They will shoot In any direction and anywhere. Tfley shoot from the road, across the road, or up and down the road as their fancy pleases. "As far as trespass signs are con cerned, they are as worthless as blank paper.

STORE Phone 560 254 North Commercial EARLY CLEAN UP I T With walnut drying practically over heavy deliveries are being re ceived at the Traglio warehouse and the nssoclntion Is grading Its nuts in the Salem Fruit union build. ing. Tho Oregon walnuts are moving into rapid consumption this year and there Is no question or nn early cleanup. The quality is wonderful, although the size is not quite as large as last year. But sizes are small all over, as attested by the California walnuts coming Into the local markets which indicate that Callfornias will run this year fully 50 per cent or more No. 3s. The Oregon walnut is the largest in the world and while even undersized this year Is showing bettor than the finest of the California nuts. There are no blanks showinc un in this year's crop. There were a lew empty nuts in some of the high hill orchards last year but the nuts all seem to be completely niiea out tms year.
