Walnuts are being sold by the gro
GERS for from Sl20 to s1.5O a bush
ell. Customers do not object to these
prices, despite the fact that only a
few years ago the price was as low
as 75 cents a bushel. One reason
that walnuts are in such demand is
perhaps because the hickory-nut trees
in this vicinity did not bear this year.
Another reason is that nuts are es-
pecially desirable in these days of
food conservation.
Nuts contain a large amount of
fat and protein and are acceptable
meat substitutes. The United States
Food Administration recommends the
use of nuts in the form of nut loaves
and croquettes in place of meat, not
only because they are rich in fat and
protein, but also because their tex
ture is fiTmer than that of most vege-
table foods.
