NUTS.


20 get them at that. They were just Al
fresh as we use to get them in Main:
some thirty years sgo-and they wer,

grow sweet potatoes as the Sunny Caro-

the Gig tree to bear thorns nor the

But we can grow all these nuts and
maay more here an Nevada. Suppose
some man who has few acres of land,
who is merely thinking of having his
life incurred, who can hardly find times
between tis games of .'casino" and
''pirch seven up" to get his meals and
perform the family errards, were to

it TO planting pecan nuts, hickory nuts,
black walnats, beech nuts, maple seeds

Wouldu't the acre or two SO plowed
