Oregon coast and paid considerable
attention to the soil. He is a firm
believer in the possibilities 70
culture of the English walnut alon,
the western slope of our coas
mountains. He knows of but on
English walnut tree in the coas
section and that is at Nestucks
This tree is a prolific producer c
nuts, thus giving support to MI
Moore's theory. Surely here j

is a great future for the coast cour
ties. At any rate it may eclips
the prune business.
