Dean Mann : We have adopted this platform : "Anything 

 which will interest the people of New York State." We must, as a 

 state institution, limit our horizon very largely to the state of New 

 York. We do slip over occasionally, but anything which will interest 

 the people of New York State in trees of any kind, for any purpose, 

 is a step towards forest conservation. Take your city dweller in 

 New York City, get him interested in a shade tree in front of his 

 apartment house, or in a group of shade trees in the adjoining park, 

 and you have converted that man along the line of King Forest. So 

 we will be very glad to take any seeds you have and give them 

 excellent care.

In the writer's opinion, the most important thing which can be 

 done to promote the nut growing industry is to make clear to men 

 and women everywhere the necessity for returning to natural and 

 biologic living. Since he left his primitive state, in his wanderings 

 up and down the face of the earth to escape destruction by terrific 

 terrestrial convulsions and cataclysmic changes in climate and temp- 

 eratures, chilled during long glacial periods, parched and blistered 

 by tropic heats, starved and wasted by drouth and famine, man has 

 been driven by ages of hardships and emergencies to adopt every 

 imaginable expedient to survive immediate destruction, and in so 

 doing has acquired so great a number of unnatural tastes, appetites 

 and habits, perversions and abnormalities in customs and modes of 

 life, that it is the marvel of marvels that he still survives. 



Man no longer seeks his food among the natural products of 

 field and forest and prepares it at his own heartstone, but finds it 

 ready to eat, prepared in immense factories, slaughter-houses, mills, 

 and bakeries and displayed in palatial emporiums. No longer led 

 by a natural instinct, as were his remote forebears, in the selection 

 of his foodstuffs, he finds his dietetic guidance in the advertising 

 columns of the morning paper, and eats not what Nature prepared 

 for his sustenance, but what his grocer, his butcher and his baker 

 find most for their pecuniary interest to purvey to him. The aver- 

 age man no longer himself plants and tills and harvests the foods 

 which enter into his bill of fare, that is, "earns his bread by the
