(Preparcd by the United States Depart

Despite the fact that the only fruit
which equals the persimmon in 1000
value is the date, many persons VINO
have persimmon trees on their lanu
are making no use OF them, and there
has been comparatively little effort
made to develop the trees commercial
ly. In a new bulletin, Farmers Bulle-
lin No. 6S5 OF the United States de-
partmcnt OF agriculture, some OF the
many uses to which the fruit can be
put are described and methods oil
p%ropagating the trees discussed.
The pcrsimmon is found in large
numbers over the southeastern qua r.
ter of the United States and in soIae
places as far west as Iowa and east
ern Nebraska. and as far north as
Rhode Island. New York and Nichi'
gan. The real persimmon belt. how.
ever. may be said to extend from
Maryland. Virginia and the Caroilnas
westward through Missouri and Ar
kansas. Where the tree is most album
dant there is considerable prejudice
against it because Of the persistency
with which the young sprouts come up
in cultivated fields, and also because
of the pickering astringent effect OF
the unripe fruit. There is a saying
that persimmons are good for dogs,
hogs and 'possums, but this is unjust
TO a product which can be made very
useful to man.
At the present time a few growers
I'm the persimmon belt who have easy
access to markets in large cities have
built up quite q considerable demand
for persimmOns. and the wild fruit car
also be sometimes purchased during
the autumn and early winter. A mum
her Of nurserymen also sell Seeding
trees for ornamental planting, fol
which they are very effective, and
few have special varieties developed
for the production of the fruit.
One obstacle to the more genera
use of persimmons is the mistaken
idea that they are not fit to eat unit
they have been touched by frost. II
consequence many persimmons which
ripen and fall to the ground befor'
frost comes are allowed TO go to waste
As a matter of fact, it may be sal,
in general that the best varieties ar,
those which ripen just before the tree
shed their leaves. II a persinmon /
not edible before frost. it is simpl.
because the variety happens to be
late one and the fruit is not ripe. Il
order to be on the safe side. however

all recipes in which the pulp is heat
ed. This whatever astrin-
gency there may be in the fruit and
does away with all risk of a puckered
mouth. A number of practical recipes
calling for the use Of p%ersimmon pulp
are contained in the bulletin,

essary in the case of the other fruits
should be observed. Seeds gathered
for propagaung purposes should be
stratiied at once. If they are allowed
to Dry out it is often necessary to
soak them for tive or three days before
they are planted boiling water being
used for the purpose. The seed bed
in which the seedlings are grown
should be well drained with rather
light soil and a good supply Of humus.
The ground should be deep plowed in
order TO permit the penetration Of the
long taproots which are characteristic
of the tree.
The roots OF persimmOn trees sprou:
readily when the top is removed and
this accounts for the persistence at
times of clumps of sprouts in fields
where they are not wanted. 1t also
enables small pieces of roots six or
eight inches long to be used for propa.
eating. The ends of the roots should
be scaled with grating wax or pitch in
order to prevent decay, and the pieces
buried in sand through the winter. II
will then grow readily the following
spring Cuttings of branches may be
used in the same way as the root cut
tings.
In cases where is is desirable tc
graft, the operation is usually most
successful if it is put off until the trees
have definitely started into e
growth. 1t is also of the utmost i'm
p~ortance that the cut surface of both
bark and wood be protected with as
little delay as possible from exposure
to the air. Grating wax, waxed clott
or similar devices are used to afford
the necessary protection. The variou:
methods OF grating are discussed il
some detail in the new bulletin.
In addition to the value of the frui
for household purposes, persimmoI
wood is used to a large extent b!
manufacturers of cotton mill supplies
who make bobbins from 1t. 1t is ais,
used for shoe lasts. The live tree
are in considerable demand for shad,
