Nut-Bowl
Holiday
Tradition
By JEANNE LESEM
United Press Correspondent
New York (IP) This is the
season when the average home
becomes the nutcracker suite.
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.

sistants' society announces a
