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.

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

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.

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.

FLAX PULLER
INVENTED BY
SALEM MAN
Joseph A. Bartosz of Salem, R.
F. 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.

Salem hunters are no respectors

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

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
