Mr. Lamb recently returned from Salelh. where he waa en­ gaged for several days In plant­ ing a large acreage-'which he owns' near there to filberts. Be* fore this planting he Interviewed almost every filbert grower In that vicinity and believes h® has a thorough knowledge of the culture. In apeaklng of filberts, Mr. Lamb said: “The Pacific Northwest Is ths only place in the United States where filberts are grown com­ mercially to any extent. Here the filbert thrives and yields well. By comparing the large quantity of Inferior nnts that are Imported each year with the large fresh ones that are pro­ duced in the Northwest, one can readily appreciate the possibilities of the filbert Industry which la rosy with promise.

They are appetising and nutritious and possess medicinal qualities also. "The reason why filberts havo not been planted more exten­ sively In the Northwest Is due to the fact that they are little known. * Many orchardists are not aware that such nuts are grown here. The industry nas never been exploited. However a great awakening is Just around the corner. The humble filbert is gradually scaling the heights of fame on its own power.

During the summer months which are extremely hot It parts of California and Arizona the residents of those sections consume Immense quantities ol soft drinks.

During the past season, the lo­ cal cannery sold two solid car­ loads of apple Juice to soft drink dealers In the vicinity of phoe nix. That there is a ready mar­ ket for at least that much more Juice. Is the opinion of Koozer. and it is to work up this busi­ ness that he is making the trip. Fruit Juices from Rogue River Valley fruits command high prices In the Southern states, and with the new territory being brought Into the market for a large quantity of,Juice, it Is cer­ tain that local growers will bo given an even wider market for their prdducts than at present.
