PLANT BLACK WALNUT TREES

prepared by the United states Department
OF Agricuture.)
The war demand drew heavily upon
the black-walnut timber supply. The
condition became alarming, as II was
recognized that unless there should
be q decrease In the cutting, the mer-
charitable trees would soon be gone.
Fortunately, however, the war ended
before the larger trees entirely dlsap-
peared. Now a reaction is setting In.
Black walnuts are being planted In
small numbers by many persons, direct
ly In harmony with the policy advo-
Gated by the United States Department
OF Agriculture.
A conspicuous instance of planting
occurred near Saginaw, Mich. Last
fall, w. s. Linton, president OF the
Northern Nut Growers association,
procured 30 bushels OF walnuts from
trees at the home OF George washing
ton at Mount Vernon, Va. These were
shipped to Saginaw and In the main
distributed among the school children
Of the county and planted, two In n
hill. on school grounds and along pub
lie roads and streets. Two thousand
we're placed IN n nursery for later
transplantlng in one OF the public
parks OF Saginaw.
When II became known that these
nuts were available for planting, very
keen and widespread interest In them
developed. Telephone calls for them
were numerous. Automobiles drove
for many miles to call In person. Since
then, enthusiastically attended meet
lngs have been held In various places
In the state to consider the question
Of black walnut tree planting along
the highways. The suggestion Is made
that In view OF the known differences
Of hardness existing In many species
Of native trees, special care should be
exercised to avoid extensive planting
Of nuts or trees from the warmer por~
uous of the country In sections where
iestructively low temperatures are &C.
caslonally experienced.
Doubtless the safest rule to observe
In the North Is to plant nuts from
trees that have attained good size and

Robinson, of whose autograph DR..
Eekhof is assured, refers to debt
acknowledged by Robinson, Thomas
Brewer, and william Jepson--the lat
ter being also well-knOwn members OF
the Pilgrim community. Brewer pos
sessed money and position, and, Jointly
with another, set up printing press
In Leyden. Jepson Is described as a
carpenter and merchant. They cove
nanted to pay seven hundred and forty
four guilders by a certain date. A
later entry confirms the fact that the
debt was discharged before the period
mentioned. In the second document,
dated week before the Pilgrim
fathers left Holland In the Speedwell,
William Bradford authorized two of
his friends who remained behind to
collect one hundred carolus guilders
which were owing to him as a mort
gage by a Leyden citizen.
"Dr. Eekhof's discovery also dis.
closed the will of John Robinson's
widow. This was drawn up eighteen
years after the Pilgrim fathers
pastor had passed away. She re.
manned In the city, and at the time
of her death had four children, Ia
whom she devised her belongings. To
each and all she bestowed something
