PLANT BLACK WALNUT- TREES Partlcullrly Adap:-d for Public Parka, | Lawns, Along Highways and | i et Other Places. (Prvpmd by'the United States D-p-um.m, of Agriculture.) The war demand drew heavily upon the black-walnut timber supply. The | condition became aiarming, as it was irecognized that unless there should be a decrease in the cutting, the mer- | chantable trees would soon be gone. | Tortunately, however, the war eudvd} before thelarger trees entirely disap- | peared. Now a reaction Is setting in. | Black walnuts are being planted in! small numbers by many persons, direct- ly in harmony with the policy advo- | cated by the United States Department of Agriculture, | ' A consplcuous instance of planting | occurred near Saginaw, Mich., Last| fall, W. S. Linton, president of the | Northern Nut Growers' assoclation, | procured 30 bushels of walnuts from ‘trees at the home of George Washing- ton.at Mount Vernon, Va. These were shipped to Saginaw and In the main distributed among the school children of the county and planted, two in a hill, on school grounds and along pub- | lic roads and streets, Two thousand were placed in a nursery for later transplanting in one of the public parks of Saginaw. When it became known that thesc nuts were available for planting, very keen and widespread interest in them developed. Telephone calls for them were numerous, Automobilists drove i for many miles to call in person. Since | then, enthuslastically attended meet- ings have been held in various places in the state to tonsider the guestion of black walnut tree planting along the highways. The suggestion is made that in view of the known differences of hardiness existing in many species of native trees, spesial care should be exercised to avoid extensive planting of nuts or trees from the warmer por- tions of the country in sections where destructively low temperatures are oc- casionally experienced. Doutbless the safest rule to observe in the North is to plant nuts from trees that have attained good xize and Black Walnut Trees Are Favored for | Public Parks, Private Lawns and | Along Highways. habit, and as nearly as possible In the | _section where they are to be planted. No harm Is Iikely to result from trans- ferring such trees from northern points | to more southerly locatlons in so far | as reaction to temperature Is con- | cerned. g B The sultability of the black walout | for home planting is now belng recog- | nized as never before. That it s one | of our most valuable American trees and that jts numbers have steadily been decreasing has long been real- fzed. To « conslderable extent this | tree was planted on the western prafr- | jes by the first settlers In compliahce with the timber nnd stone act, repealed in the late elghties, which required that trees be planted lu proportion 10 land taken up from the government. | Some planting has been going on in | states and districts beyond the range | to which the species is indigenous, Even now the forest service of the United States Department of Agricul- | ture does not advise its planting in pure stands on land from which in- | come lg necessary during the lifetime of the average planter, as no returns | in timber are probable under at least | 35 or 40 years from the time of plant- | < ing. ] Department experts recommend that | the walnut be iIncluded among the specles for planting in public parks, on large, private lawns and dooryards, along highways, and in out-of-the-way | places on: the farm.

If ever scouts lmd an opportunity to test out their power to live up to their motto “Be prepared,” Is was during the terrible period of the Pueblo flood last summer, :when practically every scout and scoutleader within the dis- trict was on duty night and day in the service of the stricken community.
