THE NATIONAL NURSERYMAN 
TUK NUIISIHIY PKOFLSSION AN ANCILNT ONE 
PLAN TO PLANT ANOTHER TREE 
Dr. (leor^n* A. Rai toii, jjrofossor oi' Sc'iuitics at the Uni¬ 
versity of P(Mmsy]vania, in translating the laws of the 
Hittite Einj)ire, finds the culture of fruit trees was ])rae- 
tieed over 3300 years ago by those people. 
Aceoi'ding to the Philadei])hia Public Ledger, he says: 
“The laws were evidently written down some time be¬ 
tween 1390 ajid 1320 R. C. The Hittites were an agri¬ 
cultural people, and the land was granted out by the 
king or the city in return for military service or some 
other duty for the stab'. 
“A number of fruit trees are specified, among them the 
pear, the ai)ple and the pomegranate. In the code of 
Hammurabi most of the attention is given to date trees. 
“Several of the laws speeify penalties for stealing bees. 
The code is evidently a revision of an earlier one, and in 
almost every case the penalty is lighter, thus indicating 
a continually enlightened civilization. The ])enalty for 
stealing a hive of bees in the older code, it says, was that 
the bees should sting the thief to death. Rut the revised 
code specified the payment of a fine. For offenses pun¬ 
ishable by a fine of twelve shekels, under the older code, 
the new code s{)ecified a fine of six shekels.”

The Tree Lovers' Association of America. Secretary 
.1. A. Young, Aurora, Illinois, has sent out a circular let¬ 
ter making a strong plea to nurserymen to assist in car¬ 
rying out its program of publicity to encourage planting. 
Secretary Young jioints out how the movement lias 
been financed by a very small proportion of nurserymen 
and points out the tremendous publicity accomplished 
by the Plan to Plant Another Tree slogan. 
It is ju’oposed that the movement be financed by the 
sale of -%3.00 memberships in the Tree Lovers’ Associa¬ 
tion. 
The budget calls for at least -$6000. Will you be one 
of 2000 nurserymen to keep this great work going?
