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,

other things in proportion, the
farmer would go broke raising $1
wheat. . 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.

were they to have all they wanted to

took their kettles of rice to bed with

With so many people hungry there
is no fear of raising too much food.
But it is said, tney nave no money

exchange products, and a consider

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.

State Institutions In
Fair Financial Shape
Investigation Shows
On the upward curve of commodity prices depends
the ability of Oregon's state institutions to finish the bien
nium on funds allotted; If prices remain approximately their
present level or rise only . a small
amount during the next 16 rncntlus,
I'ae institutions will finish the Bl
cnnlum with small surpluses, their
reports indicate. If prices show 8
heavy advance, emergency calls for-
more funds may result. ' . ,-
With the first 'third of the bi
ennium ending September 1, a com
pilation showed not one institution
had expended a third of the fund:
apportioned by the legislature. Clos
est was the state blind school,
which had used 33.25 per e:nt. Tho
