President Davidson: I wonder, Professor Harris, whether those methods
could be applied to other nuts in addition to pecans. Would your methods
with the pecan be adaptable to other nuts or kernels?

Prof. Harris: I have not tried other nuts, but I have thought quite a
bit about the black walnut, and I would like to run some experiments. It
seems to me that it would be adaptable to other nuts which have
constituents similar to the pecan such as black walnut, and perhaps
peanuts. We intend to work some on the peanuts down there. Now, of
course, in the case of the chestnut we more or less checked it out on
that, because when you dry the chestnut down to low moisture content you
have a hard product that is not palatable and is quite undesirable.

President Davidson: Now comes the follow-up studies on the 1946 Ohio
black walnut prize winners. Mr. L. Walter Sherman has prepared something
on that matter but Mr. Sterling Smith, I believe, is going to read that
to us.

Follow-Up Studies on the 1946 Ohio Black Walnut Prize Winners

L. WALTER SHERMAN, Mahoning County Experiment Farm, Canfield, Ohio

In 1946 a black walnut contest was conducted in Ohio that brought out
roughly 800 samples of nuts from all sections of the state. Judging on
the characters of the nuts only, there were ten selected as prize
winners.

Notice that I say on nut characters only. In 1950 a grand prize is to be
given to the tree selected from these ten trees that has been the
outstanding performer for the five year period. We want to know more
about
