which black walnut put during the war; millions o.
sacrificed and says that these have not oeen
replaced
Manufacturers found that for gun stocks nothing
equaled black walnut And for that the trees were useo
and are being used well for many other minor pur
poses
Owners Of black walnut trees just ike the owners oil
field gasses and certain kinds Of cameras at the call OF
the government gave them up willingly for the purposes
OF war.
The cameras and neldglasses might be returned but
not the walnut trees.
There are sentimental as well commercial reasons
why this request for wholesale planting Of walnut trees
should not fall barren ground
In the future will be continued demand for easily
worked wood such walnut is; for handsome wood
such it is.
