Run A Walkinn Stick Farm.

OF the many curious farms that have
been established in our peaceful coun-
tryside, surely walking-stick farm
is the most curious, relates London
Answers.
AS a matter Of fact, however, there
it at least one such establishment, a
fourishing concern. TO be found in the
depths Of Surrey. Instead Of the corn
fields. pasture land and root crops usu-
ally expected on a farm. the walking
stick acres present the appearance Of
long. neat rows of tiny sapling trees,
some four years old. others younger.
Quite a forest of walking sticks may
naturally be produced in four years.
but the handle occasions some delay.
To obtain n right.angled handle, the
growth is pegged down along the
ground and from this the sapling
shoots vertically upwards.

Young Man Evidently Was Lacking in
