STOCK-FEED FROM TREES 
The whole idea of raising our food 
from annual plants like wheat and corn 
is an inheritance from pre-historic ages, 
says Dr. J. Russel Smith in his book 
Tree Crops. 
Trees yield more food per acre, more 
uniformly, without any back-breaking 
labor and, most important, without need¬ 
ing soil cultivation—^which is the opera¬ 
tion responsible for erosion. 
He suggests three native trees which, 
combined, produce fruit continuously 
from June to December—and provide it 
automatically by dropping fruit daily 
where stock—pigs, cattle, etc.—can pick 
it up without attention or supervision. 
1. Mulberry — Loved by all animals, 
good fattening food. Berries begin 
dropping in June and continue into 
August. See under MORUS for seed¬ 
lings, in alphabetical list, pages 11 
to 37. Also see next column for New 
American best variety ($60. per 100 
not prepaid). 
2. Honey Locust (Gleditsia) — Large 
pods high in sugar content, drop in 
September. All stock eats them. 
Very fattening. As yet no improved 
varieties ready, but seedlings priced 
under GLEDITSIA and bear well on 
the average. 
3. Persimmon — Our native “forgotten 
man” of the fruit trees. Man and 
beast alike eat it avidly. Seedlings 
(see under ASIMINA in tree and 
shrub list) bear irregularly and usu¬ 
ally late, dropping fruit into early 
winter. 
Early Golden — and other grafted 
early fruiting American varieties 
bear early enough to be useful in 
Zone VI. We offer 3 to 4 foot grafted 
$2.50 each, $25. doz. Dried, the fruit 
resembles figs, but not so rich and 
cloying. There are Oriental Persim¬ 
mons, but not hardy in the north. 
4. Oaks (See under QUERCUS)—Acorns 
have extremely high nutritive value 
particularly for pigs, and almost any 
of the native species may be used for 
this purpose. 
At present, small supplementary feed¬ 
ings are necessary to completely balance 
a stock diet on trees. Yet the above kinds 
will cut to a third ordinary cost and 
trouble. Those interested in the general 
subject should buy Dr. Smith’s book.

RIBES (Gooseberry, Currant) 
These shrubs all act as hosts to the 
White Pine Blister Rust. We list them 
with this warning and the suggestion 
that you do not plant near White Pines 
—which include all Pines that have five 
needles in a sheath. The disease may 
spread as far as half a mile. It does 
not harm Ribes, but kills the Pines. Yet 
it cannot thrive without Ribes. Zone II. 
All prefer heavy soils.
