ceive five shares of stock valued at
$500. Some of the employees have

Not only do We want TO learn
all about the nut trees growing IN
the woods close by our own homes
but something about those in other
parts Of the country You all enjoy
eating the thin-shelled English val
nuts and perhaps have wondered
sometimes just where they grow
Who knows but that they may have
been picked by some OF the chill
dren you have helped in France
where such fine. large nuts grow.
They may have been gathered by
children in Italy or Greece
some of these nuts are raised IN
England and every year more as7~'
more trees are planted in California
and some of the southern states,
for they grow quickly and bear
early. Perhaps the reason they are
called English walnuts" is because
the first ones were brought TO this
country from England.
| have read that long ago the
tree grew wild in Persia and Asa
Minor. where the nuts were gath
cred for food. The word walnut
meants "a nut that comes from
foreign country The Greeks called
it "Jove's Acorn At first the reo-
Pile ate all the nuts. then finally
they began planting some OF them.
and SO later they were to be found
in all the warm countries in Eu-
rope. After while they thought
more and more OF the tree, for the
wood was found TO make beautiful
furniture and also fine gun stocks
They were always at war, and SO
used many gun stocks.
In order to have more trees in
some Of these foreign countries.
there was a law in the nth century
forcing every young man to plant
a certain number of walnut trees
before he could be married. That
meant many. many trees were
planted. When we are eating these
fine nuts this winter we may well
be glad that in our own country
there are 50 many trees growing
because some one was thoughtfui
enough long ago to plant the first
ones and also to take good care or
them. and that is what counts. A.
least 50 thinks yor. 4
