Northern Nut Growers Association Incorporated 39th Annual Report: at Norris, Tenn. September 13-15 1948
Northern Nut Growers Association -- Periodicals; Nut trees -- Periodicals; Nuts -- Periodicals
To make my nut tree project complete, I have quite a long row of
filberts and hazels, set hedge row fashion, which include quite a list
of varieties. Those that bear quite regular and heavy crops include four
"Jones Hybrids," Winkler hazel, two un-named hazels, and Barcelona
filbert.
I have persimmons, too, both American and Chinese named varieties. My
Chinese are young and not bearing yet, but doing well. Kansas and
Josephine are my choice of the natives.
I am trying Millwood and Shessler honeylocusts for the first time this
year. They are beautiful grafts, and I am looking forward to the
pleasure and profit of adding them to my hill cow pasture in a year or
two.

President Davidson: Thank you, very much, Dr. Rohrbacher. We have 15
minutes before the next order comes on the program. Suppose you take a
recess right now.
(A recess was taken.)

orchard.)
President Davidson: The next order of business, we will now hear a
report of the Committee on Black Walnut Standards and Judging by Dr. L.
H. MacDaniels.
Round Table Discussion on Judging Schedule for Black Walnuts
DR. L. H. MacDANIELS, Chairman
Dr. MacDaniels: During the year your committee has worked on the problem
of setting up a judging schedule for black walnuts, mainly through
correspondence. Unfortunately, it has not been possible to get together
for discussion. Had we done so, I'm sure we could have achieved close
agreement upon essentials. As it is, there are several phases of the
problem upon which we would like the judgment of the association
members. As far as this group here is concerned, I am quite sure that we
can't profitably go into a discussion of the various details and
ramifications of a judging schedule. I do think, however, that we might
discuss the problem of whether our point of view in developing such a
schedule should be that of the value of a variety for the commercial
buyer or for home use. As far as the committee is concerned, Mr. Chase
favors the home use angle. Clarence Reed and Mr. Stoke have not
expressed themselves definitely one way or the other. Mr. Stoke is here,
and I expect that he will say something about it.
I would like to open discussion on this question at this time, unless
you want to go back to the consideration of whether it is desirable or
possible, to have any such schedule, at all. May we assume that this is
desirable?
Mr. Weber: Could we have a double standard, one for the commercial
grower and one for the home grower?
Dr. MacDaniels: In my judgment it would be better to try one at a time.
Another schedule can be developed later.
Mr. Weber: Have you any particular preference, Dr. MacDaniels?
