Excerpt from Filbert Growing in the Puget Sound Country: Presenting a Treatise on the Filbert Nut
Filbert nuts enter largely into the diet of those people who dwell in that portion of the Old World (southern Europe) which under modern explora tion furnishes so much evidence of ancient history and undoubtedly the cultivation and use of the Filbert and other nuts has been handed down to the present generation from prehistoric times when human kind were compelled to subsist on what Nature provided, not having arrived at a condition when man's ingenuity had developed food condi tions such as we enjoy in this day. Indeed, the industry of Filbert growing has assumed tremen dous proportions there, and the exportation of Filberts to all parts of the world amounts to mil lions of dollars annually.
With the outbreak of the European war, how ever, the exportation of Filberts to the United States and to the latin-american countries wasvirtually shut off, and the stern law of necessity gave rise to a new enterprise in the utilization of Filberts, producing from the nut Filbert oil for cooking and lighting purposes, and also for the making of soap.
