 $136,000 worth of English Walnuts a year 

 while another man, with an orchard just 

 beginning to bear, is getting about $200 

 an acre for his crop. 



No standard estimate can at present 

 be placed on the yield per acre of orchards 

 in full bearing, but the growers are confi- 

 dent that they will soon be deriving from 

 $800 to $1600 per acre, this figure being 

 based on the number of individual trees 

 which are already producing from $90 to 

 $120 a year. The success with the nut in 

 California can be duplicated in the East 

 providing certain hardy varieties are 

 planted; and in the few instances where 

 orchards have been started in the East, 

 great things have already been done and 

 still greater are expected in the next few 

 years.
