| we nOLlce that the u. >. Con
ment is recommending the planN
of black walnut trees in some seq
tiOns of the country.
In Delaware we have hundreds of
acres of waste, or brush land from
which the timber has all been cut,
to supply the ever increasing de-
mand for piling, mine props and
lumber for building purposes.
This land will hardly be cleared
in the next century for agricultural
purposes. Why not plant black wal
nut trees on our highlands, and
bring back to our state some of the
beauty which it has lost by the de-
structiOn of its forests?
Not only that, the nuts from these
trees will pay well while the trees
are reaching maturity.
Black walnut is recognized as one
of the two finest cabinet woods
known to the world. The logs have a
market value of from $4,000 to
$4,000 per thousand feet. The writer
feels quite sure that farmers can
grow successfully these walnut
trees on their uplands in this sec
tion. and add greatly to their in
come by so doing. The trees of this
kind which we already have here,
seem to thrive and do well. 1t is
worth trying.
The death of Mrs. E. F. Whitney,
wife of our Postmaster, Z. f. Whit
ney, which occurred here last Fri
day, removes from our midst one
who will be sadly missed. She was
a woman of very high character,
and was prominent in both church
and social circles. In her duties as
assistant to her husband at the post
office, she was kind and courteous
to all, and won the respect and ad-
miration of the public, by the gen.
erous spirit which she showed. AS
a neighbor she was superb; always
willing to lend a helping hand to
hose in need. Through the long
weary months of her suffering she
bore it with that fortitude which

passed to her last sleep saying "All
