SMALL NUT PLOTS

Walter Stolz, part owner of the

OF the Realtors club urged the

OF walnuts or filberts. II think

great deal by not having more
walnuts and filberts," he said
Mr.. Stolz advised the using or
good land and until the trees be-
gan to bear to plant some small
crop between the trees such as
garden truck, corn, or kale. In
10 to Is years there would be q
gross receipt Of about $3.50 per
acre from the nuts, he said. The
land would increase in value from
5000 to $400 per acre. Mr.. stolz
against farmers who de-
pend upon their crops from one
year to another to finance them to
plant too large an acreage be-
cause there is quite little ex-
pense attached to the nut raising
and II would be likely that he
could not give them the care they |
ought to have and they would be-
come stunted in their develop
nent.

TURKEY TO COST
LESS THIS YEAR

The Thanksgiving dinner, a
week from today, will cost about
the same as one year ago, accord
ing to the opinions expressed by
a number of merchants who
handle the national bird and trim
mings.
The market today for turkeys
on foot is from 20 to "a cents,
while those having dressed turkeys
to sell, will find q market Of from
32 to 33 cents.
On this basis, the Thanksgiving
turkey will .cost from 40 to As
cents a pound, just a few cents
higher than one year ago. But If
geese or ducks are preferred to
turkey, then the figure is not quite
so high, as this market is rather
weak today and the farmer offer
ing them for sale will find dress
ed geese will bring about 20 cents.
Dressed duck is cents lower than
| year ago.
When it comes to trimmings, |
iuch as mince meat and plum pud-
ling, the price is about the same
IS one year ago. Groceries in
general are about the same as
asst November, and hence the 1922
thanksgiving feast will set the I
iead of the household back to
he same extent it did one year
go.

Says Subsidy" Misleading
The word Subsidy Mr..
Greene said, has become a "bug-
aboo" to some, and he asked the
house to disassociate it from their
minds in considering the measure.
"What are the irrigation dams
and watersheds set up by the
'ederal government in cooperation

'aisers, and agriculturalists?"

''What are the land agents and
franchises given to railroads?
What are the advances
made for highways? Subsidy.
What are the farm mortgage
anks for, if not to provide those
at least an indirect |
ubsidy? These are beneficint ap- /
lications of principle with a
yhich the public is thoroughly
amiliar. Why deny it's potential
in another quarter {
ecause it happens to come for a

Mr.. Greene said the bill pro-
ided merchant marine fund of I
100000 annually, to which

to about S30,000,000.
