Why hesitate to plant nut trees? The Agricultural 
Department, nut journals, farm journals, magazines, 
and nut tree authorities recommend their planting. 
Planting a nut orchard is not a speculation, if the 
right kind of trees are planted, but an investment; 
one that will in a few years pay increasing annual 
dividends, not only to the planter but to future gen¬ 
erations as well. It is just as much a mistake to buy 
the cheapest nut trees you can buy, as it is the cheap¬ 
est article of clothing. 
There are thousands of acres of land in each state, 
not producing enough to pay the taxes, that would 
return handsome profits if planted to nut trees. 
As nut trees live so long and attain such a great 
size they should be planted very wide apart, so they 
may be grown on land that is to be annually cultivated 
to grain crops, and interfere very little with cultiva¬ 
tion. 
Delayed planting means delayed returns. A tree 
planted this year is always a year ahead of a tree 
planted a year later, and the difference is not the
