BY GARRETT p. sERVIss.

The time of year is fast approach
ing when the forests will begin TO
put on their autumn robes and
nowhere in the world are these
robes so royalty splendid as they
are in the United States But this
year. now that the war has made
us a feeder OF nations on a scale
heretofore undreamt of. there is
another attraction in the autumn
woods besides their beauty of fol-
iage which ought to command uni
versal interest and draw every body
who can reach them into their
fragrant aisles. 1t is the call Of
the nut harvest.
In a few weeks the squirrels will
be chattering with JOY among the
brown butternuts, the emerald
husked hickory nuts, the three
cOrnered beech nuts. the deep fur
rowed walnuts and the big and the
tiny. the round and oblong
the sharp-tipped and the blunt
tipped acorns.
