pecans; the Sayer, Eversman, Hill, Tama Queen, and Iowa shellbark 

 hickories ; the Schwartz, Hine, and Jumbo walnuts the Sherwood and 

 Buckley butternut; the Winkler, Pleasant Grove, and Hardin hazel- 

 nuts; the Shaul, Schinnerling, Stratford, Higgin, and this new one I 

 am going to call Doolittle, shagbark hickories have all come to our 

 notice through our fair associations. 



If all the fairs located in the timber belt of our country would in- 

 clude nut lists and some special cash premiums oifered by private in- 

 dividuals, doubtless in a short time every valuable nut now growing 

 within our country would be discovered and brought to our attention. 



I believe this to be one of the most important things that our 

 association might take up and induce these organizations to do the 

 advertising for us and thereby discover many valuable nuts not yet 

 brought to our attention.
