THE NEGLECTED NUT.
By Frederic J. Haskin.

During the past week there gathered
in Washington, a group of learned men
from all parts of the country who have
organized themselves into an associa-
ton for the sole purpose of populariz-
ing the nut. Although It is called the
Northern Nut Growers Association, the
membership of the organization in
cludes men from twenty-nine states
and Canada. DR.. j. Russell Smith of
the University of Pennsylvania is pres
ident of this nut club and all of its
members are practical men. many of
them scientifically trained, who are
very much in earnest about the need
for promoting the culture and use of
the nut in America
Nuts occupy a unique place among
American food products In that their
culture has been largely neglected. The
southern pecan. within the last decade
has become a staple farm product, and
the English walnut always has sold
well; but our other native nuts have
been gathered only in small quantities,
and poorly distributed, while little eff
fort has been made to cultivate them.

of their place in the dietary In this
country nuts are generally eaten at the
end of heavy meal, or else they are
taken as a confection between meals
either of these uses. They should be
prepared in salads, made into pastes or
meals. cooked into cakes. ground and
eaten on bread, or served as q relish
sibilities Of the nut as food are shown
by the. fact that in Tuscany the chest
nut sometimes forms the greater part
of the peasants food for a year 1t is
boiled both in the hull and out of It,
ground into meal and baked or roasted
With the exception of almond paste,
which is manufactured in this country
and used largely in the making of
which is now produced in ton lots. pre-
pared nuts are little known in the
United States. The correct use of nuts
in general. however. is rapidly growing.

the butternut and the hazel nut with a
view to promoting their cultivation.
The common black walnut is an es-
pecially good example Of a valuable
tree badly neglected. Throughout the
north and middle Atlantic states and
well inland it grows with the greatest
ease and bears heavy crops of nuts. The
tree itself is also of the greatest value
and OF fairly rapid growth for hard
wood An orchard of black walnut
seedlings would begin to bear nuts in
ten or twelve years. and in time would
become a very valuable bit of timber.
they seldom are planted.
The black walnut itself Is finely
favored. but the shell is very thick.
and often after the nut is cracked open
it Is still almost impossible to extract
the kernel. In this regard, however.
the nuts from different trees vary
greatly. The men who are trying to
tree seek the wild trees that bear good.
thin -shelled fruit. and graft cuttings
from them SO as to propagate the val
liable seed. In this way, by a system
of selective grating, a thin -shelled
black walnut may be produced in the
course of time. just as the famous
paper shelled' pecan has been devel-
oped in the south.
There is an abundance and variety

native nut trees. In the south besides
the pecan there are the hickory, chin
Quapin, beech, chestnut and butternut
Farther north ere found the larger and
better shagbark hickory and the hazel
nut. The prairie states have practically
no native nuts. In the southwest there
is single nut. little known, but of ex-
cellent flavor. 1t is locally called the
pinon, and is the seed from the cone of
"A species Of dwarf pine that grows In
the foothills of the Rockies and on
some of the lower and more arid noun
tain slopes. This nut is about the size
of a bean. and perhaps the sweetest
and best favored to be found in this
waste land upon which it grows, but
unfortunately for its place in the mar
ket a large crop is produced only about
once in seven years. so that it is i'm
possible to obtain steady supply. Dur
ing the years when it is abundant
it is gathered in great guam
titles by the Indians and Mexicans. who
often obtain their supplies by robbing
the nest of the packrat. which stores
the nut by the bushel for winter use
About the only place in the United
States where the pinon may be pur
chased. outside of the far southwest. is
on the East Side In New York. A SIM
liar pine nut is produced in southern
Europe. and many of the foreigners
living in New York's great slum find
the pinon an excellent substitute. So a
good many hundred thousand pounds
are sent every good year from Albu-
querque and Las Vegas to be sold by
push cart men on Hester street and
Avenue A.
Aside from this little industry, the
business of gathering wild nuts does
not amount to much. About 100000
pounds were reported by the past
census as the amount of wild nuts pro-
duced in this country. The quantity un-
doubtedly has increased in the last few
years. Then. too. the census takers
probably did not account for all of the
nuts which were gathered and stored in
garrets. not only for winter use, but for
the pleasure of tramp in the autumn
woods in search of the wild fruit.

They want quality. And they know pretty well

They examine the radiator, try the brakes, Observe
