BLACK-WALNUT TREES
AS MEMORIALS

Planting of black-walnut trees as
memorials to soldiers is recommended
by the United States Department of
Agriculture. 1t is pointed out that the
black walnut played valiant part in
the World War The wood was used
for gunstocks and airplane propellers,
and the nut-shells contributed carbon
for gas masks, while the kernels were
used in many delicacies for the boys
in the trenches. Demand for the wood
for war purposes depleted the number
of fine old trees, and this method is
suggested for filling their places.
