Filbert Status In Turkey Reported On The following on the 1937 filbert situation In Turkey comes from Belgrade, Yugoslavia, 11 of Novem ber S there, from a government source and quoted In the California Fruit News: The 1937 production of filberts In Turkey la now approximated at about 610.000 quintals, or about the same volume In 1936. Drought pre vailing this summer in the main district where filberts are produc ed caused a considerable reduction in the previous estimate of the quantity but did not affect the quality of the 1937 crop, which la reported to be excellent The por tion of the 1937 crop tt will be shelled is now estimated to be equivalent to 285.000 bags of 60 kilo grams each of shelled filberts, as compared with 280,000 bags (shelled filbert) in 1936. About 1500 bags of Turkish shelled filbert from the 1936 crop are considered to have been carried over into the new campaign, because of the very small export activity since June 1, 1937. The outlet outlook for Turkish filberts Is still uncertain. A new commercial agreement with Ger many should have entered into force on September 15, 1937, to be valid until August 31, 1938. This agreement has not yet been ap proved by Turkish government. According to the recent trade reg ulation all German goods ma oc Imported Into Turkey without quo tas but total guaranteed credits which the Turkish state banks will open In favor of exporters of Turk ish goods to Germany was fixed at 14.000,000 Turkish liras, 4.000,000 liras of which were reserved for the export of filberts. It is be lieved that prices will depend to a large extent on the status of the Oerrnan-Turklsh clearing If Ger man buyers are not lively Inter ested In the market, prices are ex pected to fall considerably below those received for last year's crop.

Farm Program Extended to Jan. 15 The last day for entering the 1938 agricultural conservation pro gram has been extended to Janu ary 15 by the state committee, says Hatry U Riches, county agricultural agent. Farms that are entered by Janu ary 15, and those that were in the 1937 program will comprise all the farms that can be entered in the 1938 conservation p roe ram. Applications for work sheets for the 1938 procram may be filed at the office of Mr. Riches or with the community committeeman in each district. "It Is desired that all farmers who have not participated In the 1937 program have opportunity to file work sheets for the 1938 program, Riches said. Continuation of Road Fund Slash from page 1 639304.643. The federal government has contributed more than 20 per cent of all the money expended by the Oregon State Highway commis sion for this purpose since the de partment was created in 1913.

It's interesting to note the grow ing authority exercised by this here column, rising from precinct at fairs, on up Into city, county and state and finally causing the stu pendous United States government I Itself to get a move on. We were pleased to note that our friend and postmaster, Mr. Henry Crawford, had added the word "West" to one of the mall slots In the new post office building making It possible I now to mail a letter to practically! any point In the compass. Henry wouldn't admit ye&tcrday that our mild kidding of recent date had anything to do with the change.

The crop haa fallen about 25.000 bags below final pre-reson estimates. The last third of tlte har vest turned out to be nearly all "Emerald" and "Suntand" quality. The crack on these la quite high but there were not enough light col ored kernels in them to meet the rigid "Diamond" quality require ments. Association walnut sale have this season broken all previous, volume records. Our prices, the low est in twenty-two years, have ma!i possible the offering of a bargain to the consumer at a fair profit to all element of the distributing trade. As a result of this heavy move ment and the shortage of "Dia mond'' quality in the last of the harvest, we find ourselves eitntr completely or very nearly sold out of several of the most popular pucka. "Diamond" Large Budded, 'Dia mond" large Eurekas and "Dia mond" large Mayettes are com pletely sold out, with the exception of a few small scattered consigned lots which will be readily absorbed in the markets where stored. This leaves Franqucttes and Paynes as the only available "Diamond" large packs and the total unsold of these is less than 18,000 bags.
