them, you be the judge. The figures for this first comparison were fur- 
nished by C. E. Schuster, Government Nut Culturist, stationed at Corvallis, 
Ore. This test was taken over a three year period. It shows that the 
consumer is carrying away from the grocery store 5 to 6.7% more shell 
when he buys Barcelona than when he buys Royal. 
Barcelona 40.5% kernel; 59.5% shell. 
Royal 45.5% to 47.2% kernel; 52.8% to 54.5% shell. 
The figures for the next comparison came from the Oregon Nut 
Growers first pool 1946.

That brings up the question of yield per acre of Royal compared to 
Barcelona. We have records of individual trees that are outstanding. 
Trees 12 to 15 years old, which are as good as any Barcelonas we have 
heard about. We think, however, rather than to give such figures we 
will see what two adjoining orchards are doing, one a Royal orchard 
and the other a Barcelona orchard. Not only are the soil types the same 
but the orchards are the same age and have had the same care. The 
irees growing in the Barcelona orchard were supplied by another nurs- 
ery. Those in the Royal orchard were supplied by the H. L. Pearcy 
Nursery Co. The Royals have not only yielded more per acre of larger
