  out, 
  year 
  in 
  and 
  year 
  out, 
  and 
  he 
  gets 
  to 
  driving 
  in 
  a 
  rut. 
  If 
  he 
  

   will 
  take 
  up 
  a 
  side 
  line 
  it 
  will 
  do 
  him 
  much 
  good. 
  I 
  have 
  gone 
  into 
  

   nut 
  growing 
  for 
  recreation, 
  not 
  profit, 
  and 
  I 
  think 
  it 
  is 
  an 
  occupation 
  

   most 
  conducive 
  to 
  a 
  strong 
  mind 
  and 
  a 
  healthy 
  body. 
  

  

  This 
  country 
  is 
  getting 
  to 
  a 
  point 
  where 
  we 
  are 
  going 
  to 
  have 
  

   more 
  producers. 
  We 
  have 
  too 
  many 
  consumers 
  in 
  this 
  country. 
  

   We 
  talk 
  about 
  the 
  tariff 
  and 
  whether 
  it 
  raises 
  or 
  lowers 
  the 
  price 
  of 
  

   articles. 
  That 
  is 
  neither 
  here 
  nor 
  there. 
  The 
  thing 
  that 
  will 
  con- 
  

   trol 
  the 
  prices 
  of 
  foods 
  is 
  the 
  amount 
  of 
  food 
  produced. 
  As 
  Dr. 
  

   Morris 
  said 
  awhile 
  ago 
  we 
  don't 
  need 
  so 
  much 
  meat 
  as 
  we 
  used 
  to 
  

   think 
  we 
  needed 
  nor 
  so 
  many 
  other 
  kinds 
  of 
  foods. 
  All 
  the 
  food 
  

   elements 
  that 
  keep 
  man 
  alive 
  and 
  his 
  body 
  in 
  a 
  healthy 
  condition 
  

   are 
  contained 
  in 
  nuts, 
  fruits 
  and 
  things 
  of 
  that 
  character, 
  and 
  this 
  

   to 
  a 
  great 
  extent 
  will 
  eliminate 
  the 
  need 
  for 
  meats. 
  Meat 
  is 
  getting 
  

   scarce 
  and 
  high. 
  Beef 
  steaks 
  and 
  pork 
  chops 
  are 
  a 
  great 
  deal 
  

   higher 
  than 
  they 
  formerly 
  were 
  and 
  some 
  of 
  us 
  who 
  are 
  not 
  making 
  

   as 
  much 
  money 
  in 
  our 
  professions 
  as 
  we 
  need 
  will 
  have 
  to 
  find 
  

   something 
  else 
  to 
  take 
  the 
  place 
  of 
  them. 
  It 
  seems 
  to 
  me 
  that 
  the 
  

   solution 
  of 
  the 
  problem 
  is 
  in 
  the 
  production 
  of 
  nuts. 
  The 
  peanut 
  

   is 
  being 
  manufactured 
  in 
  a 
  great 
  many 
  ways 
  and 
  we 
  are 
  using 
  them 
  

   on 
  our 
  tables 
  daily, 
  and 
  it 
  will 
  only 
  be 
  a 
  few 
  years 
  when 
  the 
  pecan 
  

   will 
  be 
  fixed 
  up 
  in 
  as 
  many 
  different 
  ways. 
  

  

  The 
  hickory 
  nut 
  I 
  think 
  is 
  another 
  great 
  nut 
  of 
  this 
  country 
  and 
  

   great 
  attention 
  ought 
  to 
  be 
  paid 
  to 
  it. 
  Its 
  culture 
  is 
  still 
  in 
  its 
  

   infancy. 
  I 
  believe 
  that 
  in 
  a 
  few 
  years 
  the 
  hickory 
  nut 
  and 
  pecan 
  

   will 
  help 
  solve 
  the 
  food 
  problem. 
  

  

  I 
  would 
  not 
  know 
  how 
  to 
  graft 
  any 
  kind 
  of 
  a 
  tree. 
  What 
  trees 
  

   I 
  need 
  I 
  buy 
  from 
  some 
  good 
  responsible 
  nurseryman 
  and 
  let 
  him 
  

   do 
  the 
  work 
  of 
  grafting. 
  

  

  I 
  am 
  glad 
  to 
  be 
  a 
  member 
  of 
  this 
  association, 
  although 
  this 
  is 
  

   the 
  first 
  meeting 
  I 
  have 
  ever 
  attended. 
  I 
  get 
  a 
  lot 
  of 
  enthusiasm 
  

   from 
  the 
  other 
  members 
  and 
  I 
  have 
  had 
  lots 
  of 
  information 
  from 
  

   being 
  a 
  member 
  of 
  this 
  association. 
  

  

  I 
  want 
  to 
  thank 
  you, 
  ladies 
  and 
  gentlemen, 
  for 
  listening 
  to 
  my 
  

   remarks 
  which 
  I 
  had 
  no 
  thought 
  of 
  making. 
  What 
  I 
  have 
  said 
  

   has 
  been 
  at 
  random. 
  

  

  Dr. 
  Morris 
  : 
  When 
  I 
  was 
  speaking 
  a 
  minute 
  ago 
  I 
  left 
  out 
  one 
  

   idea 
  that 
  is 
  clever, 
  and 
  I 
  want 
  to 
  get 
  it 
  in 
  although 
  it 
  belongs 
  to 
  

   Professor 
  Smith. 
  When 
  we 
  get 
  to 
  the 
  point 
  of 
  intensive 
  cultiva- 
  

   tion 
  we 
  are 
  to 
  have 
  the 
  two-story 
  farm. 
  We 
  will 
  have 
  the 
  tree 
  

   which 
  will 
  be 
  the 
  second 
  story 
  and 
  will 
  furnish 
  our 
  meat, 
  and 
  under-
