The other night we became quite rebellious and
decided to write an article concerning the fact that
so many Hermiston citizens are letting weeds, small
trees and other forms of high grass overgrow vacant
lots and park strips. The article was rather sugges­
tive and “laid it on pretty thick.” However, when
we took a look at our own place the next morning
we decided to let the matter rest until a more oppor­
tune time. We are saving the article and as soon as
we have a chance to clean up our own lot we will
publish the article.

THE HERMISTON HERALD, HERMISTON, OREGON.
For those of us who are spending our vacations at
our usual tasks it is some relief to see window dis­
plays such as the sea shore view in the Oregon Hard­
ware & Implement window this week. We do not
know exactly who is responsible for the scene but it
has given us a certain amount of satisfaction to sit at
our typewriter and look across the street at the cool,
refreshing spray of the salty sea, and it has been a
problem not to let our mind wonder. Let’s have
more of them.

Many Popular Nut» Ara
Grown in This Country
Most of our popular varieties of
nuts are native Americans. The only
real foreigners are English walnuts,
Alberts, almonds and the big chest­
nuts from Italy or Japan. No coun­
tries in the world are as rich in
native nuts as North and South
America, declares Martha Harmon
in the Philadelphia Record.
Oddly enough, one of the most
popular varieties does not happen
to be a nut at all, though we call it
“cashew nut.” It is the external seed
of the West Indian cashew fruit,
growing at the broad tip of the pear-
shaped fruit.
Then there are peanuts, which we
are solmenly told are not nuts, either,
though botanists say they are. Cen­
turies ago, the peoples of Central
America cultivated this plant and a
number of varieties have been found
buried with their mummies. When
blossoms are in full bloom, long
root-like stems grow and bury
themselves underground and there
produce the seeds or nuts. Other
names for this nut are goober,
groundnut, mani and monkey nut.
Like the cashew, chestnut and pis­
tachio, the peanut must be roasted
to be edible.
Among the other popular nuts are
the hickory nut, chestnut and pe­
can. Butternuts and black walnuts
are the best-known of the true Amer­
ican walnuts but the timber of the
latter tree is so valuable that most
of the big wild trees have been cut
down for lumber.
