w: y. HUT. the state ilorticulturist

that he believes the pecan tree Is the
Sonths greatest asset that no tree

Individual pecan trees in Virginia
are prolific, and bear nuts OF excellent

rapidly ana come into bearing as early
as in any State. The varieties suited
to this locality are known. and trees
arc now available for setting ont
IT has been mentioned that pecan
tree for each acre would pay the taxes
on farms in this State. This refers
to tree soon after IT begins to bear.
The crops from Il mature tree would
pay the taxes on several acres. The
Mantura tree in Surry County, near
James River, has borne as high as 2f5
pounds of nuts In a single season. for
which a price of 80 cents Il pound was

there were seventeen trees on it, and
that the net returns from these trees
were larger than from tho rest Of his

The pecan tree likes company, and
there Is no more conGcnial place for il

found 1t possible to suggest a satisfactory
ground of protest against mines SO laid. or
against their possibly destructive conse-
Qucnce. Acquiescence by all the neutral
countries. including our own, in the laying
of mines by both Britain aud Germany in the
North Sea has precluded sincere and effective
insstence that no such mines be deposited
in the English Channel or tho Atlantic Ocean
If an American ship is destroyed by such
mines. we would have a claim for damages
against the country that placed them there
If we are able definitely to establish that
portion of the responsibility--but it Is seri-
ously - be doubted If we would have real
and honest casus belli.
AS things stand an American vessel loaded
with grain for Bremen Hamburg may
choose between being seized by British
cruiser and blown up by a German mine.
Neither horn OF the dilemma appears to offer
an attractive or comfortable resting place.
The truth is that Germany and Britain have
gone mad, and the best thing for this nation
to do is to leave both severely alone. No
madman's company was ever either desirable
or safe.
