M.kIno Walnut More Plentiful.

That remarkable California -scien.
tist who has been producing all sorts
of fruit freaks, including pitless
peaches and seedless berries. has
turned his attention to other lines Of
effort. He now announces that by
crossing different varieties of wainuts
he has evolved 4 tree which makes
the fastest growth of any known. This
is held to be the most important Of
any Of his discoveries, as 1t has dis
tinct and direct commercial value.
Walnut wood is now very scarce and
high-priced. IS much as $3.50 to $500
a thousand feet being paid for 1t for
manufacturing purposes. The profess
sor alleges that by using his process
the wood can be produced SO rapidly
and cheaply that 1t will be in abund-
ant supply for future making, etc.,
and may even be sold ~ fuel for
stoves and CRATES. II all that is claim
ed can be verified he will put graft
ing to most beneficial use.
