GROWING WALNUTS
OREGON INDUSTRY
PROF. LEWIS TALKS ON WALNUT
CULTURE BASED ON CALI.
FoRNIA METHODS.

"The present prospects are that
the walnut industry will become a
very important one in Oregon" said
Prof. C. l. Lewis, head of the depart
ment of horticulture at the Oregon Ag-
ricultural College, in an address to
the Lane County Horticultural Soci-
ETY., recently.
"We find walnut trees growing in
nearly every city from Portland to
Ashland" Prof. Lewis continued.
while the paintings are not exten-
sive as rule, they are sufficiently
large, nevertheless, to indicate the
prospects of the industry. Undoubt-
edly we are making many mistakes
In walnut growing and are not profit
ing by the thirty years experience
of the California walnut growers. !

California, and had a splendid oppor-
tunity to look into the walnut in

most important point is to have deep,
rich soil. 1t will be some years, prob
ably, before we will know the very
best locations for the walnut, but we
do know that on deep soils trees are
growing all the way from the river
bottom soils, which are sand and silt,
up to the red hill lands.
'Since the walnut begins its ac-
tivity SO late in the season, 1t is not
so susceptible to frost injuries as
most of our fruit trees. They may be
injured, however, ON low lands by
heavy fall frosts. We should insist
on planting the French strains, such
as the Franquette and Mayette, etc.
Personally, believe, that If we

foundation, we must either plant first
class grated trees, or else the very
best seedlings we can procure, with
the idea that we will top work the
seedlings after a few years. There
is too much variation in even the best
selected seedlings.
California Black WaInuts Good.
Concerning the best stock on which
to graft, we will yet be obliged to do
considerable experimenting. We can
state, however, that at our expert
ment station at the college at Corval-
lis, we have been much pleased with
the California Black.
"We have been very successful in
sprouting the seeds in the following g
manner. At this season of the year,
or very little later, we have plac-
ed some boards at the south side of
a building, upon these spread an inch
or two of moist sand, and then spread
out the nuts. They can be covered
either with the moist sand, burlap,
or any material that will hold mois-
ture. AS soon as they sprout they
can be set in the nursery row,
where ground should be carefully pre-
pared-hand plowed two or three
times and then narrowed until in
good garden. condition, and free from
all Jumps. l do not recommend the
planting of seeds in the field where
the walnuts are to grow. Better care
can be given them in the nursery
row, and they can be transplanted
much as other fruit trees. Few walnut
trees in California have not been trans
planted at least once.
walnut orchards need intensive cil
tivation, and at times will need COW
er crops, much as apple orchards do.
They should not be planted closer
than 40 feet, and so is preferable.
While the trees are young, other
fruits and vegetables can be grown
between the trees.
"The California method of pruning
is much better than ours, The trees
are headed at 30 or 40 inches. From
three to five branches are chosen to
form the head. At the end of the
first year these are cut back in
much the same way as we would cut

FIRST COPY OF ATHENA'S
FIRST PAPER DISCOVERED.

Considerable excitement was caus.
ed among the citizens of Athena last
week when the workmen who are
tearing down the brick wall on the
corner of Third and Main, found an
issue of "The Centervillian" between
the brick. On unfolding, small mar
DE was also found wrapped in the
paper, and on reading the paper it
was found that the paper was No. 1,
Vol. 1, consequently it is copy of
the first paper that was ever pub
lished in Athena. The date was Sep
tember IL, 1885, and it took its name
from Centerville which was the first
lame of that place.
Along with the marble was found
the card of H. N. Sattler. who was
the editor and publisher of the said
sheet. Having been placed between
the brick the mortor had proved de-
structive on the paper and parts
were entirely eaten away so that it
was impossible to read it.
Mr.. Sattled stated in his paper that
an old barn was being torn down to
put up brick building ON the corner
OF Main !. and Center streets, which
building was the one where the paper
was found. This is the only issue Of
that number that is known to be in
existence and it is considered great
relic.-East 0regonian.
