the chestnuts for little less than

Although this has been an unusually
successful year so far as the quantity and
quality of the cheStnutS are concerned,
there is a disease which has threatened
the extinction of the chestnut and reused
the interest of the Department of ASrl-
culture to such an extent that an extern
sive investigation was made. The disease
is fungus growth which attacks the
bark of the trees and eventually Kills
them. 1t was first discovered in the VI
cinity of New York city in 1904, but since
that time has spread. until at present its
ravages cover ten states. including the
District of Columbia, and the damage
done is estimated at S2J.oOo.OO0.

a simple matter. Popular belief is to
the effect that the nuts do not drop
from the burrs until the first frost.
But here, as in many other things.
popular belief has been shattered.
Il don't know nothing about that,
said one country youth anent the frost
proposition. Il come from the coun-
try and | know I've gotten chestnuts
before the first frost Course. il you
try to git them too early you may
have TO thrash the trees some hard,
but it's my opinion that when the
chestnuts are ready TO come outer the
burrs they come. That's all there is
TO it."
IT was a simple philosophy. and one
which at least bore investigation, be
cause others questioned along the same
lines denied all knowledge of the need of
removing the burrs from the nuts either
by hand or machinery, and that before
frost.
