THE DIAGRAM 
shows how 218 walnut 
trees will grow on one 
acre 16 ft. apart and 
each tree produce 2 or 
3-16 ft. logs without a 
limb and how $100 will 
produce over $10,000. 
who would like to become interested with me 
or, if the buyer will agree to put in his time 
for 6 years as I have and spend as much 
money to carry on the work, I would willingly 
dispose of the entire business, which, if 
pushed, will save millions of farms, provide a 
home for birds which save farmers over 
$100,000,000 yearly by destroying worms and 
insects, and save taxpayers untold millions 
by enabling farmers to support themselves. 
I am not pleading for myself but for the 
millions whose parents could prevent the 
United States from going through what Eng¬ 
land and Europe did in the sixteenth century 
after their trees disappeared and by assisting 
President Roosevelt make his reforestation 
program a great success- 
SPECIAL PRICE ON 2 MILLION TREES 
AND 250,000,000 ASSORTED TREE SEEDS 
WITH FULL INSTRUCTIONS FOR PLANT¬ 
ING AND RAISING. 
KINDLY TAKE THIS MATTER UP WITH 
YOUR FRIENDS OR YOUR CLUBS AND 
ASSIST IN PUTTING THIS WORK OVER 
—NOT FOR MY SAKE BUT FOR YOUR 
CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN. 
MEMBERS OF KIWANIS, LIONS, RO¬ 
TARY, EAGLES, IZAAKWALTON LEAGUE

WHEN WRITING AND GIVE ME THE

KINDLY MAIL THIS TO SOME FRIEND. 
ALEXANDER H. LEGGE, PRESIDENT OF 
THE INTERNATIONAL HARVESTER 
COMPANY, at the Central States For¬ 
estry Congress, Cincinnati, Ohio 
December 4, 1931, Said 
Speaking of individuals who are interested 
in reforestaton, probably you people of the 
Central States Foresty Association know all 
about the activities of Mr. Frank S. Betz of 
Hammond, Indiana. 
Mr. Betz might be called a modern “Johnny 
Appleseed” if it were not for the fact that he 
is undoubtedly a keen and up-to-date business 
man. 
I note that Mr. Betz says in a recent com¬ 
munication that he expects to round out this 
year the distribution, through*clubs, associa¬ 
tions, Boy and Girls Scouts, 4-H members and 
public school children, of 100 million trees and 
tree seeds. ^ 
May the good Lord send us more men like 
this tree-loving, tree planting gentleman 
from Indiana! 
FROM THE HOLYLAND 
New York City- Feb. 4, 1932. 
“Dear Mr. Betz: 
“I have returned from my world tour in 
which I had the opportunity of visiting Pal¬ 
estine, where I saw millions of little trees 
growing form the seed which you so gener¬ 
ously contributed. Ere long those barren hills 
of Judah will once again be clothed with 
verdure. Even this generation will see a mar¬ 
velous change in the country which will be 
largely brought about by your munificant gift. 
“I am looking forward to visiting Chicago 
on Saturday night when I am due to arrive 
to lecture on Sunday, February 28, at the 
Chicago Academy of Sciences on the Rebirth 
of Palestine at 3 o’clock in the afternoon. I 
trust that it may be possible for you to be 
present, as I am sure you would like to see 
the film of the tree planting. I shall look for¬ 
ward to seeing you some time after the meet¬ 
ing, if only for a few minutes. 
“I am telling the world what you have 
done for Palestine. 
RICHARD ST. BARBE BAKER.”
