FARM BUREAU NOTES
New Bulletins Received

We have just received a supply of
bulletins, copies of which can be Sc
cured by any farmer in the county by
calling at the Farm Bureau Office, or
by writing or telephoning to the same

Plant Nuts this Fall.
Southern Michigan is the natural
home of several species of very valu-
able nut trees, the hickory, black wal
nut and butternut, and it seems that
the sweet chestnut and hazel nut or
filbert, finds a congenial growing
place with us. At least, two of the
above mentioned species are valuable
from the timber standpoint, l. e., the
hickory and black walnut. The black
walnut has been in great demand for
the manufacture of gun stocks and
airplanes propeller blades since the
war began. In times of peace good
black walnut is in big demand for the
manufacture of furniture.
The hickory timber is always in big
demand for the manufacture of i'm
plements and wagons. The timber
from the nut bearing trees is valu-
able, but from the viewpoint of the
small boy, and some boys grown older
the timber value is not the only or
greatest value of these species. Are
we not, however, in grave danger of
seeing our nut bearing trees become
practically extinct? Each years sees
a few more of the old land mark nut
trees dying or being made into tim
Der or fire wood. Are we starting
young trees to take their place? |
am afraid not 1t seems to the writer
that it would be a fine thing for
every farmer who has superior tree
or any of the nut bearing species, to
save this fall, seed from that tree,
and either plant them at once, or
stratify them in sand until spring,
and then plant The hard shelled
nuts, such as black walnut, butternut,
and hickory, should either be planted
in the fall or put in a box with alter
nate layers of sand and buried
shallow so freezing may crack the
hard shells. The objection to plant
ing in the fall is the danger of
squirrels stealing the nuts after they
have been planted.
The best way to prepare chestnuts
for seed is to stratify by putting a
box with alternate layers of sand and
bury one or two feet deep in well
drained location; the nuts to be taken
up and planted as soon as frost is out
of the ground in the spring. In adj
dition to preserving the nut bearing
species for future generations, the
farmer who plants seed from his
superior nut trees has the possibility
Of helping to improve upon our COM
mon nuts. Why not varieties of our
common nuts as well as of apples,
pears, peaches grapes etc? We can
improve their quality and productive
ness by selection.
