Is the Walnut Poison ?

A professor is reported to have dis
covered that the black walnut tree Is
poisonous. He says: 1T Is a matter
of common knowledge that tomatoes
and potatoes will not grow In the
vicinity of walnut and butternut
trees" There has been delay in MAX
ing this charge. Walnut trees We're
common in this country on the COM
ing of the whites, and for three hum
dred and odd years they do not seem
to have been thought of as the enemy
of crops. Americans. have chopped
and sawed these trees because they
esteemed their wood for paneling
houses, for furniture, gunstocks and
other uses. The wood is of unusual
color, has close grain, is durable and
takes high polish. Not many black
walnut trees of good size survive
Most of these stand in woods, the
companions of other hardwood trees,
and they do not seem to poison their
companions or the shrubbery that Is
abundant near them.
A large walnut tree growing in
meadow, or on an open hillside may
shade considerable space, and In
that space potatoes, tomatoes and
other vegetables will not thrive.
Whether the vegetables suffer because
of the shade or the poison Of the
walnut is question. Vegetables will
not thrive In the shade Of an oak or
other tree. 1t may be recalled that
the potato was thought poisonous a
few centuries ago, and within the
memory OF the elders the tomato, or
love apple" was believed to be dead.
ly. And the potato and tomato do, In
fact, contain in minute quantities a
poison, that which is in nightshade.
to which the potato and tomato are re-
lated.
Once belief prevailed with some
persons that black walnut wood was
unlucky. This superstition was rather
common among Potomac boatmen.
who feared the use of any walnut
wood in the construction of a boat.
Some were so strongly superstitious
that they would not carry walnuts as
cargo. 1t is thought by some that this
superstition was because walnut wood
was often used making collins.
1t will be deplorable If the dis
covery" of the professor results in
quitting down walnut fraea hut IL fl
not likely that any of the relatively
few remaining will be felled because of
their poisonous quality. When man
cuts down a walnut tree it is general
ly because the wood has considerable
value in the market.

Reverence, Patriotism
And National Anthem

To the Editor OF The Star:
/ once knew a man in church to
stand while the first verse of Amer
lea" was being sung, sit out the next
two verses and stand again while the
last verse was being sung. which be-
gins "Our fathers God, to Thee" The
method of his madness was this: He
stood while the first verse was being
sung to show that he loved his coun-
try, and that in regard to this pa.
triotic sentiment he was in harmony
and unison with the rest of the con-
gregation. He sat out the next two
verses TO indicate that he did not wor-
ship his country as he worshiped
his God, and therefore made differ
ence between a patriotic hymn and
hymn sung purely and entirely to the
praise and glory of God. He stood
again while the last verse was being
sung because this verse Is addressed
directly to God. i wonder how many
persons in that congregation under
stood the intent of that man. / think
that the minister may have under
stood, for later on he declared that
only one flag waves above the Ameri-
can flag, and that is the Christian
banner.
Would that the example of this man
were followed in all our churches, and
that q fixed custom be introduced
that whenever America" is sung In
a church whatever the custom may
be when it is sung in other places
people stand while the first verse is
being sung, sit out the next two verses,
and stand again while the last verse Is
being sung. Nothing could show bet
ter than this custom the relative
places we assign to love for God and
love for country, and how these two
loves are joined together In singing the
one grand hymn. First, love for God
and then love for country, or, as Christ
expressed it: Thou shalt love the
Lord thy God with all thy heart, and
with all thy soul, and with all thy
mind. This is the first and great COM
mandment. And the second is like
unto it: Thou shalt love thy neighbor
as myself. On these two command
ments hang all the law and the proph-
