"Wo find walnut trees growing in nenrlv uvorv citv J rem Portland '. Ashland," Professor Lewis contin ued. "While the plantings nro not extensive as a rule, (hey nro suffi ciently large, nevertheless, to indi cate the prospect of the industry. Undoubtedly wo arc making many mistakes in walnut growing and lire not profiling by the 30 years' experi ence of tho California walnut grow ers. -I spent three months, lust win tor, in California, and had a splen did opportunity to look into (ho wnl nut industry in that state. "In locating a walnut orchnrd, the most important )oint is to have deep, rich soil. It will be some years, prob ably, boforo wo will know the very best locations for the walnut, but wo do know that on deep soils trees aro growing nil the wny from (he river bottom slpils, which are suml and silt, up to the red lull lauds. "Since (ho witlnut begins its activ ity so late in tho season, it is not so susceptible to frost injuries as most of our fruit trees. They may bo in jured, howovor, on low lauds by heavy fall frosts. Wo should insist on planting tho French strains, such ns (ho Franqiielu and Mnyolle, e(c "Personally, believo (hat if avc aro to plaeo the1 walnut on a stiuid foundation, wo must either plant first class grafted trees, or elso (he very best seedlings wo can procure, with the idea that wo will top work tho best seedlings aflor n few years.
