young farmer living near Woodland

times, his last appearance being in a
suit for divorce from his third wife,
one Of three aged widows he married
successfully
Littlewood's first wife was a wo-

His third wife was Widow Mary E

CAN 5E RAISED IN WASHINGTON
English or White Wa'nuts Successful
iy Grown,

TacOma.-State Horticulturist a.
Van Holderbeke, who has just return
ed from a trip in Yakima, Klickitat
and Clarke counties, is positive from
observations he has made, that the
white walnut. or Enlish walnut. can
be successfully raised in all parts CT
this state. For many years it has
been thought thai the walnut would
not mature in Washington. It was
known that the nut grew well in Cal
ifornia, and fifteen ar twenty years
ago. and even EARLIER, many of the
trees were planted out by pioneer or
chardists Of the state. Especially was
this so in Clarke county, Walla Walla
county and other portions Of the state
first settled. The young trees devel-
oped a remarkably vigorous growth,
and as the years went by gave prom
Use of great fruitfulness. When the
trees began bearing. however. it was
noticed the walnuts did not mature
and after many trials the growers
concluded that climatic conditions
were such in the Pacific northwes.
that the nuts could not be grown. But
in the last few years the trees plant.
ed fifteen and eighteen years age
have themselves matured, and since
this epoch in their growth has been
reached the farmers, to their sur
prise, have found the trees producing
big crops which easily matured, the
nuts being first class and selling side
by side with the best nuts of the kind
in the markets.
