ing from the plowed ground as far away as 108
feet from the tree. The tree was thirty or forty years old.

It would add greatly to the walnut industry of the future if the Forest
Service would plant black walnuts in the hills and mountains between
here and the coast. You know in that burnt timber section and various
localities in the coast mountains there are many places where eight or
ten nut trees to the acre would soon give a good account of themselves.
If properly planted, in five or ten years they could be topgrafted to a
good English variety and add greatly to the value of the public domain
as well as the food products of the nation. We have no native walnuts,
but almost every variety under the sun will grow here.
