Chestnuts Scarce
Anon gthe many different kinds
of nuts found in stores at Thanks
giving and Christmas time there Is
one that is seldom found in lower
Delaware and that is the native
chestnut which was so abundant &c
and 40 years ago. Rarely are they
displayed for sale.
Several reasons are given for the
disappearance of the once famous
chestnut trees, which were abundant
throughout lower Delaware forests
helf a century ago. One Of the main
reasons is that the wood has been
sought for its market value and an
other that the blight has played hav-
Oc with them.
There was a time wien farmers
could go into their woodland and
gather several bushels within a day.
Now they are unable 20 get enough
fcr home use much less place them
on the markets
