THE MONEY IN NI-Ts

The Virginia farmer should aim first
at putting his land In condition 10
raise the standard money crops. we
do not believe he should be distracted
| from this by specialtics. Yet. 1t is
of Virginia soil do Its full duty In
! bearing foodstuff. Therefore. we ask.
why can we not use some of the now
| idle land both along our rivers or in
the mountains for cultivating nuts as
Il money crop?
Nut growing is a very profitable in :
dustry in some parts of Europe The
chestnut in the Mediterranean region
is as staple as wheat. Great orchards
are handed down from one generation
to another In this time clement lies
one reason for our neglect. The opu-
lent fertility of American soil has made
our farmers anxious for the quick turn
over. Nut trees do not bear for from
twelve to twenty years. The possible
profit has not justified holding good
land out of cultivation that long; and
all our land. With the pressure N
population and the increasing cost of
living, however. we will need all the
land, good or bad, and the nut kernel
will become more important part OF
the food supply OF the nation.
In California the English walnut
and almond are big money makers: to
the far South the pecan has become
an important source of revenue Now
rocky hills. Tho American Cultivator
from Boston. declares, This country Is
likely TO become n great producer OF
nuts. The climate is fully as we'll
suited 10 the speciality as the climate
OF Europe and the only drawback is
the lack OF skilled culturists" The
editor publishes an interesting article
on a New England Burbank of nuts
DR.. Morris. lie has crossed walnuts
with hickory, chcstnuts with pecans
and mixed up the results until he can
give YOU almost any kind of nut
you want. They are bred for thin
shells, large meats, and delicate flavor
In addition to giving n crop, the nut
trees furnish timber. Hickory Is In
STEADY demand Inc nut orchard kills
two birds.
1t seems possible that Virginia could
teach it's farmers to plant nut trees on
the hillsides, and In other places where
timber has been removed, and where
rocks or other impediments hinder the
full cultivation Of an annual CROP. We
have made fortunes with our apples.
AS nuts enter more into the daily diet
of cosmopolitan people, why should
we not be ready to reap SONG of the
financial harvest?
