  Dr. 
  Morris 
  : 
  I 
  don't 
  like 
  to 
  speak 
  so 
  often 
  here, 
  but 
  it 
  is 
  in 
  the 
  

   spirit 
  of 
  setting 
  a 
  pace 
  rather 
  than 
  of 
  giving 
  expression 
  to 
  my 
  own 
  

   views. 
  

  

  In 
  the 
  first 
  place, 
  I 
  would 
  like 
  to 
  ask 
  Professor 
  Fagan 
  if 
  he 
  has 
  

   looked 
  up 
  the 
  matter 
  of 
  the 
  introduction 
  of 
  any 
  of 
  the 
  oriental 
  

   walnuts 
  into 
  Pennsylvania. 
  According 
  to 
  the 
  knowledge 
  of 
  the 
  

   botanists, 
  all 
  species 
  of 
  plants 
  from 
  the 
  northeastern 
  Orient 
  are 
  

   better 
  adapted 
  to 
  the 
  eastern 
  states 
  of 
  America 
  than 
  are 
  any 
  trees 
  

   from 
  the 
  central 
  or 
  western 
  portions 
  of 
  the 
  Old 
  World. 
  Pacific 
  

   coast 
  plants 
  do 
  well 
  in 
  England, 
  but 
  not 
  in 
  New 
  England 
  as 
  a 
  rule. 
  

  

  Next 
  I 
  would 
  suggest, 
  apropos' 
  oi 
  the 
  nature 
  of 
  the 
  seedling 
  orchard 
  

   reported 
  by 
  the 
  last 
  speaker, 
  that 
  no 
  nut 
  tree 
  of 
  any 
  sort 
  be 
  sold 
  

   under 
  a 
  varietal 
  name 
  for 
  propagation, 
  excepting 
  that 
  it 
  be 
  ac- 
  

   companied 
  by 
  the 
  statement 
  that 
  it 
  is 
  a 
  seedling. 
  This 
  is 
  perfectly 
  

   proper 
  and 
  fair 
  to 
  all 
  parties. 
  

  

  Going 
  back 
  to 
  the 
  remarks 
  of 
  Professor 
  Baker, 
  a 
  number 
  of 
  very 
  

   interesting 
  points 
  arose. 
  One 
  reason 
  why 
  the 
  great 
  waste 
  lands 
  of 
  

   the 
  state 
  have 
  not 
  been 
  covered 
  with 
  forests 
  of 
  nut 
  trees 
  is 
  because 
  

   we 
  must 
  leave 
  something 
  for 
  the 
  people 
  who 
  are 
  to 
  come 
  5,000 
  

   years 
  after 
  us. 
  We 
  must 
  not 
  accomplish 
  everything 
  in 
  civilization 
  

   this 
  year. 
  Be 
  generous; 
  leave 
  something 
  for 
  others 
  to 
  accomplish 
  

   later. 
  Nut 
  trees 
  grown 
  in 
  forest 
  form 
  say 
  to 
  themselves: 
  "Here 
  

   are 
  trees 
  enough. 
  We 
  shall 
  store 
  up 
  cellulose." 
  Therefore 
  the 
  

   trees 
  store 
  up 
  cellulose, 
  make 
  great 
  trunks 
  and 
  timber, 
  and 
  little 
  

   fruit. 
  A 
  nut 
  tree 
  on 
  the 
  other 
  hand 
  which 
  is 
  growing 
  alone 
  in 
  a 
  

   field 
  says, 
  "Here 
  are 
  not 
  trees 
  enough. 
  I 
  shall 
  be 
  fruitful," 
  and 
  

   therefore 
  it 
  bears 
  much 
  fruit. 
  Consequently, 
  nut 
  trees 
  to 
  be 
  grown 
  

   as 
  forest 
  are 
  out 
  of 
  the 
  question 
  as 
  nut 
  producers, 
  but 
  may 
  be 
  

   very 
  valuable 
  for 
  timber. 
  

  

  In 
  regard 
  to 
  setting 
  out 
  trees 
  along 
  the 
  highways, 
  that 
  is 
  a 
  beauti- 
  

   ful 
  idea 
  theoretically. 
  I 
  happen 
  to 
  see 
  one 
  of 
  my 
  neighbors 
  in 
  

   Connecticut 
  here 
  in 
  the 
  audience. 
  He 
  remembers 
  when 
  I 
  tried 
  to 
  

   be 
  public-spirited 
  and 
  set 
  out 
  a 
  number 
  of 
  fruit 
  trees 
  around 
  the 
  

   borders 
  of 
  my 
  place, 
  in 
  order 
  that 
  the 
  passerby 
  might 
  have 
  some 
  

   fruit. 
  What 
  happened 
  was 
  that 
  not 
  only 
  the 
  passerby 
  wanted 
  

   fruit, 
  but 
  he 
  wanted 
  it 
  early, 
  and 
  he 
  brought 
  others 
  from 
  a 
  distance 
  

   who 
  wanted 
  fruit. 
  They 
  broke 
  down 
  the 
  trees, 
  and 
  also 
  entered 
  

   my 
  premises 
  and 
  carried 
  off 
  my 
  private 
  supply 
  having 
  been 
  attracted 
  

   by 
  my 
  roadside 
  bait. 
  I 
  wanted 
  to 
  beautify 
  the 
  highway 
  for 
  a 
  mile 
  

   and 
  set 
  out 
  3,000 
  pine 
  trees. 
  After 
  they 
  had 
  grown 
  to 
  look 
  pretty, 
  

   people 
  came 
  in 
  automobiles 
  and 
  carried 
  them 
  off. 
  These 
  people
