AS SHADE There Are a Number of Them That Grow as Rapidly as Maples or Elims--More Attention Given Nut Tree Planting Than Formerly. They were gathered about the farin house fire in the mellow light of a swing lamp, and the head of the house sent his youngest so nto the garret for I butternuts. A little later, with an ironl< lapstone oi his knees and hammer in hand, he was producing a rhythmic i rap-ratp-rap-c rack-clink, as the crinkly brown shells split open and I wc re tossed into a basin, exposing their delicately flavored twin meats. "This is the last crop fro mthat old I tree." he remarked, thoughtfully, pausiig after a few minutes of fas cinating labor. "Rotted out, and the wi d got it last night. And I have gathered nuts from that tree since I - was a little tike in short breeches." The htmmer rested for a few mo men's, and the fingers of the farmers' left hand ran meditatively through the pile of richly laden shells . "Fifty years," he mused. "Fifty springs I've seen the green conie out on the leaves; fifty falls I or my child ren or gr-indchildren have picked up b Ishe!s of nuts; and fifty winters I've ,A by the fire here and cracked them. 'hat butter-nut tree has been a good old friend. None to Take Its Place. Yet with all the pleasure that lie hii obtained from that tree, the far mer, thrifty in nearly everything, had no new butternut trees coming up to take the place of the patriarch which the wind destroyed. It is only recently that serious at t- tion has been paid to nut-tree plant jog. Landowners set out orchards and olit trees in dooryarIs and on the highways for shade; but nut-bearing trees, which usually require 8 to 15 years to come into bearing, have beeO in a measure neglected. There are a number of nut-bearing eeits, Say specialists of the United States Department of Agriculture, which gorw as rapidly for shade as the mapl" or elm and which will yield pleasure mid some revenue for a nowr'er or half a century after the first few years of cultivation. Th ! butternut is no wbeing producel by ni urserymen and grows farther north than most other species. But I enwit trees will bear in about eight ~e-ir's and form an attractive yard or iwi -.He ornaiment, espe-;.lly in the N") o' in Stlt(S. Yore attntion, however, is being ')*id to its relative, the black walnut. 'The late war made heavy inroads on the ranks of these fin' old trees for <runstocks. airplaine parts, and other -naterial; but nurserymen already had beg'm to grow young trees to make up the loss. Contrary to the common idea, the black walnut is not neces sarily a slow grower. -Under good conditions of culture, it becomes one of our imiost rapid growing trees, es pecially of the more valuable woods. It binq been known to hear a few nuts in six years. At 15 to 25 it is a heavy producer. and in (1 dage it is always a re )Ource for timber. The chestnut, which has be'n an important resource ior centuries, is now one of the trigedies of treedoi, due to the bark disease brought from Japan.
