What Walnut Culture has done
for Oregon
Some one has said that "he
who has made two blades of grass
grow where but one grew before
is a public benefactor." But
what shall we sav of the man
who. by intelligent, persistent ef
fort and working in the face of
adverse criticism, has made land,
worth but a few years ago five or
ten dollars an acre, now worth
five hundred to one thousand dol
lars per acre? We have a few
such men among us. Men who

Paul's First Missionary Journey wa1nut culture in Oregon IS Only
in its infancy. In the year 1SHW
over three thousand ' acres were
planted to walnuts in Yamhill
county. The year 1909 will see a
still greater increase. On every
hand can be seen the work of the
woodsman, who, aided, by plenty
of out side capital, is clearing
nnrls heretofore unused, ana as
rcmirllv as nossible getting them
into condition for the planting of
the young walnut trees.
Trip ranid errowth of the walnut
industry has caused some very in
telligent men to inquire if the
lare-e dantings already maae ana
to be made will not cause an over-
nrndiifttion. This same question
has been asked a good many times
concerning the production 01
wheat, and yet we are now con-
fmntPfl with hicrher prices tnan
ever, and we are facing the fact
that the United States will soon
have no wheat for export. We
are useing it nearly all at home.
The conditions are almost the
same in regard to the production
of meat and other food supplies.
Population and consumption are
o-rnwinc" faster than production
The consumption of walnuts is on
the increase. For many years
the production in the United
stntps has been only one-third
the consumption. Statistics show
that the consumption of walnuts
during the year 1908 was thirty
per cent, greater than m lwi,
and that 1907 saw a decided in
crease over that of 1906, and so
on; and yet the demand for nuts
is greater today than it has been
for vpars. and the price for same
is pnnallv encouraging. The rea-
fnr this is doubtless the fact
kJVH Jhs.
that thousands of people are eat
ing more nuts and less bread and
meat. While containing about
the same amount of protein and
strength-giving qualities as meat,
ess bodily discomfort and disease,
such as indigestion, constipation,
o-nnt. rheumatism, boils and kin-
rlrprl ailments arise from their
use. It is therefore generally
nnnppflP.fl bv those who have giv-
thought, that
Cll HIV
the walnut industry has come to
stay, that nuts will in time dis-
Oregon
place the use of meat on the
tables of the more intelligent, and
that thousands of Oregon's broad
nprps now producing but little
more than weeds and taxes will
soon be in the hands of a thriftier
people, and will be made to yield
handsome returns on a valuation
never dreamed of by the most op
timistic Oregon promoter ot halt
a generation ago. - Timothy
