Forestry Notes. 



BY FORESTER. 



Centennial of the Ohio Valley. — An 

 interesting feature of this exhibition at Cin- 

 cinnati was the Forestry Exhibit of Prof. 

 Adolfs Leue, including Forest Zoology, 

 Entomology, Forest Technology. The 



professor's collection of tree seeds and 

 200 varieties of woods are among the best 

 in the Union. He also issues yearly 

 a very valuable forestry report for the 

 Ohio State Forestry Bureau. 



On a farm in the county of Norfolk 

 the boys went out with a wagon in the 

 noon hour lately and got in the box full 

 (about thirty bushels) of walnuts. They 

 are fairly fit to eat if kept over winter, 

 though of a strong, oily taste. In the fall 

 grocers in the vicinity buy them at fifty 

 cents a bushel for this purpose. On this 

 farm they always pick up enough chest- 

 nuts to pay the taxes, and some years 

 they get $150 worth.
