clusters of trout fishermen have surrounded the

A lecture which instructive as ii was in
teresting given during the afternoon by DR..
. T Morris the subject of cultivation.
The lecturer pointed out that not only was the
raising of nuts likely to become great field for
work in horticulture but that In a short time
millions of dollars worth of those kinds of nuts
that are now annually imported will be raised in
the United States This work can be done now If
those concerned be made to understand how
comparatively easy the cultivation Of satisfactory
crops be made.
AS a matter of fact. DR. Morris said, with Amer
lea having more good kinds of nuts than any other
country it should be not only possible, but quite
feasible, diminish import and develop large
and important export business. At the present
time the demand is much in excess of the sup
ply that the best and highest priced American nuts
do not reach the New York market
In the Southern states, he explained land owners
already beginning to recognize the Importance
of this form of horticulture and large areas of
land formerly used for cotton and corn are now
being given over to the production of pecan nuts.
In California citrus groves and fruit orchards are
being cleared for walnut, almond and pistache
culture.
After discussing the various species of hickory.
walnut beech oak pine and other trees that
bear edible nuts DR.. Morris stated that he

crossing various kinds of nuts merely recrea-
ton from his professional duties, but that the sub
ject had grown to such dimensions that II would
be easy for him to make it source of revenue If
he cared to do He was convinced that within
the next ten years America would lead the world
culture.

which is now receiving the attention of the Pres-

reserves and public lands in all parts of the coun

in themselves, they could be used to advantage in
replacing trees that used for decorating
public and private grounds.
