In spite of a growing prefer ence for shelled pre-packaged nuts, the tradition of a nut-bowl and in-shell nuts returns at Christmastime. No matter how you crack them with a hammer, tongs or the heel of a shoe supplies are am ple this year. Bad weather and Insect dam age cut the size of the pecan, al mond and walnut crops in this country' slightly, so that prices will continue to be a little higher than last year for these three fa vorites. However, the filbert crop was much larger than in 1956, so that prices are somewhat lower, according to the United States Department of Agriculture. Fewer Walnuts The USDA's crop estimate for this year is 12,350 tons of fil berts, roughly four times as big as in 1956. The domestic walnut estimate is 69.300 tons, or slightly less than last year. California's almond crop is ex pected to total only 40,600 tons, by year's end, or about 31 per cent less than the record 1956 crop. And pecans, some 121,500,000 pounds of them, are forecast for 1957. As for Brazil nuts the supply is ample. The United States' an nual imports of these nuts usual ly total 10,000 tons in the shell, plus 100,000 to 150,000 cases of shelled nuts for the candy, bak ing and salted nut industries. Shell Leftovers Fall is the big season for in- shell nuts, just as it is harvest season for most varieties. Brazil nuts are gathered in May and June, but in South America, those months' weather corre sponds to fall temperatures north of the equator. Obviously, we don't eat the entire harvest of nuts during the period In which greatest sup plies are on the market. Manufacturers handle their mammoth supplies with vacuum packages that keep the kernels fresh for months. And the housewife, with in shell meals, can save her left overs almost as easily. So, any that are leftover after Christmas should be shelled as soon as pos sible and stored in airtight con tainers in your refrigerator. If they are fresh when put away they'll still be fresh up to a year later. Not enough refrigerator space? Then, put the tightly-covered con- tamer in a spot where the tern perature stays about 50 degrees Fahrenheit, and they should re main for several months.
