DUTCH ARE FRIENDLY
American Travellers Welcomed
by the Netkerlanders.
Looked Upon as Observation-Disclosures
Remember Important Part Played
by Their Forefathers In the
New World.

The Hague, Enthusiastically, in
a letter from Scotland l read that
Americans are unpopular in Europe"
AS far as Holland is concerned can
not protest strongly enough against
this statement. On the contrary, there
is no foreign nation as popular in the
Netherlands as America and there is
no individual of any other nationality
so well liked as the American.
The Dutch consider the Americans
akin to themselves. They cannot for
get that some of the eastern states
were once known as New Netherland
and that New York was first named
New Amsterdam; that many of the
! leading Dutch families helped to col
onize America; that most Dutch FAM
lily names survive in some form or
other on the other side of the Allan
tic. There is scarcely a family that
has not "a cousin in America" and the
American uncle" is unreservedly pop
ular among all his relatives in Holland
for all the thousands of dollars, real
or imaginary, that some day he may
leave to them.
The eyes of many a weary worker in
Holland turn with longing toward
America, that land of fabulous wealth
in the same way that the Germans,
during Hollands golden age, used to
dream of Amsterdam, that city paved
with gold. But, wiser than the German
dreamer of old, the Hollander knows
that gold is not to be picked up in
the streets of the new world by the
idlers, but must be gained by honest
toll. The sons of many a Dutch far
mer have found work and land and a
permanent home in America, and
when they return occasionally to visit
the scenes of their childhood, these
tell of the wondrous, progressive, en-
ergetic race across the sea, that is
party of their own blood, and so they
widen the circle of sympathy for
America, and the Americans. No one
who has seen how one private Amer
lean citizen, of Dutch lineage, it is
true, but certainly "a very American
of the Americans" Theodore Roose-
welt was received by the people of Hol-
land, can doubt for a movement tho
truth that Americans are popular.
But it is very noticeable in many
other ways. See the peoples faces
light up in smiles when they hear that
their travelling companion in a rail-

way journey is an American. Every
one is ready to Point out places of in
terest to him, to help him in any diff
Guilty and to hear his opinion about
Holland. AS a rule, Dutch people trav-
cling and staying in hotels hold them
selves stifly aloof from others, but not
from the American. These are priv
ileged beings and are generally made
much of, for there is something genial
about them that seem to attract the
less demcnstrative nature of the Hol-
lander. Why, even the American
newspaper correspondents are popu-
lar in Holland and can obtain advan-
tages denied to those of their col
leagues of other nationalities, and even
to the Dutch press itself. Perhaps
the last is the strongest proof OF any
of Americas popularity.

IMPORTANCE OF PECAN
One of Best Money-Producing
Trees in United States.
No Other Agricultural or Horticultural
Product Attracting More Atten-
ton or Being More Widely
Exploited in South.
(By c. A. REED.)


The pecan is one of the most i'm
portant of the nut-bearing trees grown
in the United States, and within the
area thought to be adapted to It's cul-
ture no other agricultural or horti-
cultural product which has appeared
during recent years is attracting
greater attention or being SO widely
exploited.
1t was not found by the early
botanists nearer the Atlantic coast
than Western Alabama in the south
and Central Tennessee and Kentucky
In the north. but with the progress of
agriculture in the south the species
has been carried eastward and widely
distributed with apparent success over
the Eastern Gulf and South Atlantic
states. 1t has also been sparingly in
troduced into many of the northern
states, including Ohio, Michigan, New
York. Pennsylvania, Maryland. Della
ware. New Jersey, and to slight ex-
tent into the lower New England
states. In the west it has received
but little attention. A few planted

of the butterfly existence she had been
leading. Upon her return home she
at once entered the Swanley agricul-
tural college at Kent and at the conclu-
sion of her course amazed her former
fashionable friends by becoming man
ager of a dairy farm After q time
she became working manager of an
other farm in Kent, where she took
active charge of all the work, grain
growing, vegetable gardening, and live
stock. She went direct from that farm
to the Canadian west, to a ranch of
800 acres near the Canadian Pacific
railway, and now all English society
is interested in watching her career

worlds" declares this former London
favorite. Il would rather pillow than
go to the opera. would rather plant
corn than attend a pink tea and l
much prefer currying my horses to ar
raging myself in an evening gown.
What's butterfly society life in damp
and foggy England compared to real
life in bright sunshine and bracing
cold?" Miss Mays success had made
her views on agriculture much sought
after. especially among the English
immigrants.
Although this little English woman
has sacrificed conventional feminine
garb and has given up social life COM
pleteiy, she has lost none of the charm
that made her leader in British So
ciety circles. Her everyday costume
consists of stout leather boots and
leather puttees, riding breaches Of
heavy blue serge. a mans shirt, and
a short khaki coat. When she desires
to really dress up for special occa-
sions, she wears a soft collar and tie.
