earth said my husband one morning
when the cook was i'll and he had
volunteered to help get breakfast. He
appeared with his dish and l discov-
cred it was Grape Nuts which, OF
course, was easy to prepare for it was
perfectly cooked at the factory, but it
was a good illustration of the con-
venience of having Grape Nuts about.
I'VE took up Grape Nuts Immediate
ly after returning from a five years
sojourn in a hot country. Our stom-
achs were in bad condition and we
were in poor health generally.
TN a day or two we liked Grape
Nuts better than any other kind Of
food on the table. We both gained
steadily in health ard strength, and
this was caused by Grape Nuts and

"a friend of ours had a similar ex-
perience. She was seriously ill with
indigestion and could find nothing to
eat that would not give here heartburn
and palpitation, especially at night.
She found that small dish of
Grape-Nuts with cream made her a
satisfactory supper and gave her a
comfortable nights rest. In a short
time she gained several pounds in
weight"

ton. This will require 1910 trees to
allow for 1850 for each acre to be
planted.
1T is essential to keep the roots OF
these plants moist until planted, and
in planting they should be kept in an
upright position. not leaning to one
side, and well firmed down into the
soil.
With the exception of protecting
the plantation from fire and from
grazing animals it will require but
little attention for the next ten years.
A cleaning should then be made, in
which the undesirable trees should be
removed and the better ones allowed
the full benefit of the site.
AT about twenty-five years a thin
ming will yield merchantable material
enough to at least pay for the cut
ting, and the remaining trees will be
greatly benefited by its removal. In
this way an intermediate return is OBJ
tanned that is usually entirely lost, es-
pecially in the case of natural woods.
The remainder of the stand should
be cut at about so years, when it will
yield the highest returns on the money
invested. and a new crop should be
started in it's place. If allowed to
grow for a longer period, the increase
in compound interest charges against
the crop will more than counterbal-
ance the increase in growth after that
period. Up to this time. under ordi-
nary conditions, the investment will
have paid compound interest at the
rate Of s per cent or 6 per cent and a

WARNING TO
MUSHROOM GROWERS

Washington, D. c. April S.-As the
result of serious case of mushroom
poisoning in mushroom growers fam
lily recently, the mushroom specialists
of the U. S. Department of Agriculture
have issued a warning to commercial
and other growers of mushrooms to re-
gard with suspicion any abnormal
mushrooms which appear in their beds.
1t seems that occasionally sporadic
forms appear in mushroom beds, per-
Sist for day or two, and then dlSap-
pear. These are generally manure-in-
habiting species and may be observed
shortly after the beds have been cased.
In the instance cited, however, these
fungi appeared in considerable num-
bers at the time the edible Agaricus
campestris should have been ready for.
the market, and the dealer supposed it
was probably a new brown variety and
tried it in his own family. AS re-
suit five persons were rendered abso-
lutely helpless and were saved after
several hours only through the assist
ance of second physician who had
had experience with this type of pois-
oning.
! In the opinion of the Department,
this case is peculiarly significant and
demonstrates that the grower must be
able to distinguish Agaricus campestris
from any Of the wild forms of mush-
rooms that may appear in the beds.
Under the circumstances, the Depart
ment strongly urges every grower to
make himself thoroughly familiar with
the cultivated species. Complete de-
scriptions with pictures of poisonous
and cultivated species, are contained in
Department Bulletin IT'S, Mushrooms
and Other Common Fungi. which can
be purchased for 80 cents from the
Superintendent of Documents, Govern
ment Printing Office, Washington, D.
C. (The Department of Agriculture
has no copies of this bulletin for free
diStribution.)

Prof. Briscoe said in part:
Trees as crop on the farm nave
the advantage over most other crops
in that they.do not require any previous
preparation Of the site on which they
are to be planted, nor do they demand
the addition Of any kind of fertilizer
Moreover. after planting they require
very little attention in any way for
many years, and the soil on which
they grow is improving from year to
year both physically and chemically.
1.-THE fact must be borne in mind
that trees are a long time crop. Ihey
can not be planted one year and har-
vested the next, as is the case with
many agricultural crops; but they re-
quire a long period Of time for their
growth and development.
Care should be taken to select land
for the growing Of the forest crop
that Is the least valuable on the farm
both with respect to soil and topog-
raphy, for the trees will grow on al
most any soil, and on topography that
Is too rough or too steep to be profita-
bly, cultivated.
For quickest returns, the planting
Of young transplants that have been
grown for not less than three years In
