mT TEREE CROPS” by Ja Russell smith, $¢-D. $5.00 Postpaid 
Farming without plowing is agriculture of the future, This book tells of ite 
Chapters on chestnuts and walnuts of various kinds, and pecans, and also such 
neglected fruits as pawpaws, persimmons and especially Chinese pers immons 
BUT the real contribution of this book is the new idea of tree grown food for 
farm auimals, The sugary pceds of the Honey Locust tree have proved equal to 100 
bushels of oats to the acre and the same acre produced 2 1/2 tons of lespedesa 
(legume) hay. Alabama Experiment Station. 
Louis Bromfield says; "'Tree Crops' is one of the important books of our time 
in its relation to ecology, national economics and human welfare, It is a fascin- 
ating book for anyone interested in the basic problem of the nation - its real 
wealth and natural resources. Also for many people it may prove a very practical 
and profitable investment." 
Bernard Baruch says: “Even glancing over the table of contents of 'tTree Crops? 
makes one think deeply of what faces us and what can be done about ite 
"Anyone with a plot large enough to plant a tree will be interested in reading 
this book. I am grateful to you for having brought it to my attention. So will | 
anyone who reads ite"
