Walnuts will not thrive well on wet 

 or shallow soil; foothill, rolling soil 

 is best. They do well on level valley 

 land if well drained. Where drainage is 

 necessary in our orchards we find it 

 advisable to put in the tile about five 

 feet deep. I do not advise planting 



fillers, as walnuts do not thrive well 

 among other trees; peaches are espe- 

 cially detrimental. The climate of 

 Southwestern Washington and Western 

 Oregon seem to be most favorably 

 adapted to the growing of such varie- 

 ties as the Fran(|uette. The Franquette 



grown here Is of the very highest final- 

 ity owing to the cool summer weather. 

 .\ny temperature above 100 degrees for 

 any consideraljle time will reduce the 

 (|uality of walnuts. Higli temperature 

 is the cause of the dark and shrunken 

 kernels in so many nuts found on the 

 market. Walnuts grown in the locali- 

 ties mentioned practically have no dark 

 or rancid kernels, and I have had re- 

 ports of only one bad nut in a CO-pound 

 sack. 



Walnuts have not been planted east 

 of the Cascades so extensively as on 

 the west side, but no doubt many locali- 

 ties will be found where they can be 

 profitably grown. The use of automo- 

 biles and auto trucks having greatly 

 reduced the number of horses, the con- 

 sum])lion of liay and grain is propor- 

 tionately reduced. The introduction of 

 new crops should be encouraged, thus 

 cntling down the surplus of these crops, 

 to the benefit of all. 



Sugar Beets 



THE sugar-beet industry has rapidly 

 grown and has now become one of 

 the prominent inihistries of California 

 and the Pacific Xorthwest. There are 

 a number of very large sugar-beet fac- 

 tories. Growers in the neighborhood 

 of sugar-beet factories are making 

 mighty good income on their invest- 

 ment from sugar beets. The sugar is 

 first extracted and lately they have 

 found a use for sugar-beet pulp, using 

 it for feeding stock. 



In a few weeks the sugar-beet fac- 

 tories of California will begin slicing 

 this year's crop of sugar beets. This 

 information will be interesting to 

 ilair\nien and stockmen who are look- 

 ing forward to a fresh supply of beet 

 pulp. Last year the demand for beet 

 pidp was so great that it was sold out 

 early in the season. The crop of sugar 

 beets is somewhat larger this year than 

 last, and therefore it will bring in a 

 greater profit for the sugar-beet grow- 

 ers, and it is to be hoped that it will 

 be a factor in keeping down the i)rice 

 of sugar. It will also be a help to 

 dairymen because it will help increase 

 the snijply of sugar-beet pulp. There
