  the

   Growers 
  Association 
  is 
  making 
  an 
  effort 
  to 
  find 
  nut 
  trees 
  of 
  various 
  kinds 
  

   which 
  produce 
  superior 
  nuts 
  which 
  can 
  be 
  used 
  for 
  propagation. 
  

  

  Prizes 
  for 
  special

  competition

   from 
  one 
  tree, 
  and 
  the 
  location 
  of 
  the 
  tree 
  is 
  to 
  be 
  well 
  marked, 
  so 
  that 
  no 
  

   mistake 
  can 
  be 
  made 
  later 
  if 
  cuttings 
  are 
  to 
  be 
  purchased 
  from 
  the 
  owner 
  or
