Newspaper Page TextTHURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 1933 THE CAPITAL JOURNAL. SALEM. OREGON QUICK RETURN INDICATED FOR FILBERT TRADE Members of filbert cooperatives of the state have expectations of receiving prompt returns this year, in fact W. H. Bcntley, manager of the North Pacific cooperative, states that it is expected prompt returns covering me nunc 01 liibert deliver ies before the first of the year, is not an unreasonable expectation. ' Possibilities of a lineup to eradi cate unfair competition and unsat isfactory trade prices are also Im minent. In a statement covering ' these and other factors of the f 11- ' bert situation Mr. Bentlcy savs: "At the same time that opening prices were named on filberts at Salem on August 23rd, an agree ment was arrived at between all the favors present at the meeting wmcn it is nopea may eventually become an industry code for filberts, but which in Sie meantime regulates the Industry as between the con tracting packers in such a way as to prevent unfair competition and un satisfactory trade practices which have been so prevalent in alt branches of the food Industry dur ing the past two years of intense competition; in fact, this agreement ushered in a new deal in the filbert industry so far as packing and mar keting are concerned, since there were represented at the Salem mcct . tag organizations handling over 80 percent of all filbert crops produced in the northwest. "It is felt that growers affiliated with either the North Pacific Nut Growers, the Oregon Nut Growers, the Eugene Fruit Growers or the Brixnut Association may be reason ably positive of prompt returns co vering the bulk of their filbert de liveries before the first of the year with considerable distribution, prior to that time and that the returns will be larger on all grades than for sometime past with operating costs at a low level in consequence of heavy tonnage to be handled. : "It is the consensus of Informed opinion that growers who may not now be members of any of the co operatives should not permit them selves to be stampeded into selling their crops at lower levels than are Justified by the opening prices of all ,the filbert packers who met at Salem on August 23. For public in formation, wo are quoting these prices, which are f.o.b. Portland or Ore?on-Washington packing points: Barcelonas: Large 17c, fancy 15c, baby 12c; Duchillys: Large 20c, fan cy lG'Sc, baby 13c. "The North Pacific Nut Growers, Who have for two years past been Individually stamping their better grade walnuts with the brand name 'NORPAC, this season have pur chased a machine to experiment with the stamping of the larger size filberts. This machine will be in stalled at the association's plant at Vancouver, Wash., and It is believed that a very good Job branding can be done on the smooth shells of the large Duchllly and large Barcelona filberts. Thus it is the intention of the association to perfect a means for identifying the northwest pro duct to the consuming public In the east so that unscrupulous dealers will bo unable to mix our product with the southern European filbert, which is often less carefully graded and dehydrated then our own. Even tually this should mean a greater premium for the Oregon-Washington product although. It may take two or three years to accomplish this result. "The association also has a can ning factory at Lebanon, which Is equipped to roast and salt shelled filberts and pack same in small tins which It is hoped will increase the distribution of filberts . among all classes of consumers. This year the association will pack a 10 cent cellor phano bag of salted filberts that should be a very popular seller along with salted almonds and many other nut products that are distributed in large volume over the country. Thus the association Is pioneering the way for Increased distribution when the time comes that our northwest ton nage reaches a. volume that will make it necessary for a considerable proportion of same to be sold in the kernel form."

To the Editor The greatest min ing boom in history Just starting (Now Right Away). . America, today, stands ' on the brink of the wildest, most sensa tional and by far the most tremen dous gold and silver mining boom ever witnessed in the history of the country. The huge wave of gold mining activity that is gathering momen tum that will soon release Its "pent-up" force and sweep through the United States and the world like a mighty hurricane, Is no "flighty boom". It is the awakening of a slumbering giant. It is the coming to life of a mighty industry. - The gold industry is not new, but the gold Industry I am now think ing of is decidedly new and will not originate In the discovery of some sensational or spectacular new dis coveries In the field; but a develop ment that is originating in the laboratories of the inventors and the chemists and in the offices of our mining engineers and geologists. Since 1849 bur scientists, invent ors and engineers, have developed the art of mining and milling wltn one prbnary thought in mind namely low costs. "Heretofore, lovi operating costs in gold mining have been confined to the very large op erators, but today the small oper ator Is coming into his own. Soon we will witness the astonishing spec tacle of the average 50-ton-a-day operation being handled on a cost basis comparable to the costs of our giant gold producers. Gold today sold for $31.64 per ounce. I expect the price to go to 51.3 an ounce. - I understand that President Roosevelt Is considering a .plan whereby the United States mints would accept silver bullion from do mestic producers and return mint ed coins to them less about 10 cents an ounce for minting charges. This would net . the producer $1.10 an ounce compared to the present price of about 40 cents.. This development will not be based on "high-grade", but low- grade ore from $l to $3 per ton. JOHN.V. L. HILLPOT. Salem, Sept. 20. To the Editor Some of us ' feel that the reduction of grain'nereage, killing off hogs, and plowing up cotton, Is not the right way to help the agricultural situation. It is very true that farmers have had a hard time marketing their produce at a living rate for a number of years, long before the depression is suppoaed to have started. And yet all these years there was great suf- iering in the world for the lack of these very supplies. It is not suffi ciently realized that prices are rela tive tnings. The fact is that food and cotton have not been too cheap, but that other things have been too high In proportion. Dollar wheat would mean prosperity to the raiser If other things remained down, but If work shoes went to $20 a pair, uQ Biisujine to si a gauon, and Proves Point - i,jfiier jf V ! L. K.

I once knew a tinsmith who told me he left Kentucky In 1849 for California. He received small wages back there and, his first Job in San Francisco paid $10 a day. But In Kentucky he had boarded in a country hotel and had the best of board at $4 a month. He could live better there on his low wages than In San Francisco at $10 a day. This merely illustrates the fact that prices arc purely relative things. My prosperity depends not upon how much I receive, but upon how much I can procure with what I receive. The year 1929 Is referred to as the peak year of post-war prosper ity. And yet that year, and for several years preceding, farmers had farmed at a loss. In other words they had to give too much of what they produced in exchange for what others produced! We said above that there was, and is, great suffering In the world due to the scarcity of the products of the farm. Forty years ago I. heard Bishop Thoburn of India say that as nearly as he could estimate "five hundred million people on our planet went to bed hungry every -night, and never knew the comfort of a- full meal from .one year's end to another." Conditions are not - better in these depression years than they were then. A story from a Christian worker In India confirms the Bishop's statement. MONEY JINGLES IN IOWA JEANS Clear Lake. Ia. (UP) After three long years of hard times, vegetable prices this season have sought the high places, and money jingles again i in the pockets of vegetable growers. Cause of this year's higher prices has been a severe dry spell, which cut production in most parts of this vast truck growing area by half. Bui instead of adding to hard ships of hard-bitten farmers, It has proved an economic blessing. "Give me a short crop and a de mand and you can have the bumper crop every time," declared .Sam Kennedy, Jr., operator of one; of the largest in the area. Reason for his declaration was ex plained by a little simple arithmetic. The crop from his 170 acres of po tatoes this year will . return four times its selling price last year. The dry spell has cut his production only by half. . . , . . "Last year I sold my first freight carload of cabbages at $5 a ton," Kennedy continued. "This year my first carload sold at $55. a ton. Is there any wonder we're feeling bet ter here?" . . . , Hundreds of lowland farmers in northern Iowa growers of onions, cabbages and potatoes share Ken nedy's recovered spirits; . . The vegetable -growing area is centered largely in Ccrro Gordo, Mitchell, Hancock and Winnebago counties. during the convention. So overjoyed were they to have all they wanted to eat for once in their lives that they took their kettles of rice to bed with them that they might eat in the night If they woke up. These -verc not famine sufferers, but the ordin ary peasants of the Indian village. With so many people hungry there is no fear of raising too much food. But it is said, tney nave no money to pay for our food. In the world'u business very little money crosses the oceans. Wc exchange products, and pay the difference. Recently these nave Dzen many, local attempts to exchange products, and a consider able measure of success has at tended these efforts. The people who need our food are perfectly willing to v;ork and produce what we need. All that is necessary is a reasonable system of exchange. This destruction of farm products, and limiting of 'f aim production looks too much like the "liotJe American ism" of a narrow nationalism, and will not bring about a real prosperity. ' 'IS. S.
